However, these plants had already mutated. In this underground world that was filled with demonic aura, there was not a single normal plant.
These plants were all black and not a single one of them was green. Every single one of these plants contained an enormous amount of demonic aura. In her escape, she had been scratched by some sharp branches and leaves several times. The sharpness of these branches and leaves was extraordinary. However, no matter how sharp they were, they could only leave a red mark on her body.
Although she was not a body cultivator and did not cultivate body techniques, her cultivation was already at the Cold Spring State. Under the nourishment of her Profound Energy, the strength of her body was comparable to a Three Disasters Body Cultivator.
However, the plants here were different. Not only were they sharp, they were also extremely strange. As long as these plants scratched a small wound on her body, the boundless demonic aura in the leaves would instantly corrode the wound. If she could not expel the demonic aura in time, not only would the wound not heal, it would also rot. This had caused her a great deal of trouble.
If she was alone, it would not be a problem. However, she was carrying Yun Shisan on her back.
After discovering the viciousness of these branches and leaves, she still had to carefully steer Yun Shisan away from these plants. Instead, she had ended up with quite a few injuries.
These troubles caused her speed to slow down.
Every time she was scratched, she had to circulate her Profound Energy to expel the demonic aura. This also caused her little Profound Energy to be rapidly depleted.
Moreover, along the way, she had not only encountered plants that were filled with demonic aura, but also the ground and rocks that were all filled with demonic aura.
Other than that, there were not only demons born from demonic aura, there were also some monsters that had mutated after being infected by the demonic aura. Snakes and insects were the majority, and there were even earthworms that were the size of buckets.
These earthworms were not like the commonly seen earthworms. At most, they were disgusting. However, these earthworms that were the size of buckets had extremely powerful combat abilities.
Especially the mucus on their bodies. If they were entangled, even an Earthly Immortal would find it difficult to escape. They would probably be besieged by countless demonic creatures before they could even escape. After all, demonic creatures were everywhere in this place.
When she was running away, she encountered an earthworm the size of a bucket and was almost entangled. The earthworm stuck to her body tightly. Fortunately, she was only stuck to her skirt.
This place was full of monsters, but she didn't dare to get entangled with the big earthworms. In the end, she cruelly abandoned a large part of her skirt and was able to escape.
"This won't do. How big is this underground world?
I need to hurry and find Elder He and the others! "
Liu Xiaoli was already feeling powerless as the Profound Energy in her body was severely depleted. She didn't know how much longer she could hold on but for Yun Shisan, she clenched her teeth and continued to flee.
"What a persistent woman. Unfortunately, you were one step too late. If you had met Shisan earlier, perhaps the situation would have been different."
This scene was witnessed by Yu Ji. Yu Ji's impression of her had changed quite a bit. Liu Xiaoli's persistence and her love for Yun Shisan made her, an Artifact Spirit who was still ignorant about love, feel touched.
She couldn't bear it and after thinking, she transmitted her voice to Liu Xiaoli, "You don't have to care about Shisan. His body isn't afraid of the fiendish aura. You can touch him as much as you want. This fiendish aura is beneficial to him.
Just take care of yourself. Find a secluded place and hide. Recover your Profound Energy first. No one knows how big this place is and how dangerous it is.
But it's definitely not a good place. If you run blindly like this, it'll be bad if you run into a powerful monster's nest. Shisan will wake up soon. "
At this moment, He Yuanhong and the others were also in a similar situation as Liu Xiaoli. However, He Yuanhong was powerful and it was much more convenient for him to move around in this underground world.
He also understood the basic situation of the underground world. It was more convenient for him to move around alone. He held a long sword in one hand and fought with the monsters while the other held a spirit stone. He could recover and attack at the same time.
However, the old man didn't have the heart to continue fighting. He swung his sword and destroyed the three red-haired monsters. He didn't tangle with the other monsters and turned to leave.
"This godforsaken place is full of monsters. I don't know how strong the monsters here are. Let's find them first and then plan for the long term!"
The old man was also burning with anxiety. Everyone had been scattered and it wouldn't be easy to find them in this underground world. The fiendish aura was soaring and monsters were everywhere.
But no matter how difficult it was, he still had to find them. One of them was his great-grandson.
"That kid should be fine. The Red Lotus Hellfire is the nemesis of these monsters. Moreover, Yun Tianlin should have left something on him. But I don't know how the others are doing."
Although He Yuanhong was worried about Yun Shisan, he was also very assured about Yun Shisan. It seemed to be a little contradictory.
But no matter what, it was more important to find them first. No matter who they found first, it would be a good thing.
Thinking of this, He Yuanhong randomly chose a direction and flew. To him, there was no clear direction to find them. He could only rely on luck.
Li Xiaoyao, Ge Rui, and Jian San were a little luckier. After they fell into the underground world, they weren't far from each other and soon bumped into each other.
Ge Rui muttered with a distressed expression, "How are we going to find them now? Can we really only rely on luck like this?"
"What else can we do?
Do you know where they are or do you have a better idea? "Li Xiaoyao also had a helpless expression. Looking for them in this place was no different from a blind man searching for an elephant.
At this moment, Jian San frowned and said, "Maybe I have a way that isn't a way!"
Ge Rui said impatiently, "What do you mean by a way that isn't a way?
If you have a way, just say it. Don't be so taciturn all day! "
Jian San turned to look at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Do you still remember how we found Ge Rui?"
Li Xiaoyao frowned and thought for a moment. He didn't understand what Jian San meant and said anxiously, "Just say it. It's not easy for you to say something at this time. Don't keep me guessing!"
Jian San said unhurriedly, "It's not easy for us to find them, but we can get these demons to help us. There's strength in numbers."
"Get these demons to help us find them?"
Li Xiaoyao stared straight at Jian San as if he was looking at an idiot. Is this guy's brain rusty?
"It's good enough that those demons don't tear us apart. You still want them to find people?
Can you control them or something?
This really isn't a way. "
Jian San smiled and said slowly, "The monsters in this underground world seem to be particularly interested in us. As long as we show up or leak our aura, a large group of demons will swarm over.
Do you think we can pay attention to the movements of these demons? As long as they make a big move, we'll follow. Isn't this much more convenient than finding them by ourselves? "
Ge Rui's eyes lit up and said approvingly, "Yes, this is indeed a good idea. However, we have to hide for a while. It's best if we disguise ourselves as those demons and blend in. That'll be good."
"No!"
Li Xiaoyao rejected and shook his head, "This is indeed a way that isn't a way. However, in the eyes of these demons, our appearance isn't important. Even if we disguise ourselves as them, it won't work.
If I'm not wrong, they identify us through our aura. If we want to disguise ourselves as them, this demonic aura won't be easy. This isn't ordinary demonic aura. This is demonic aura mixed with evil aura. How can we disguise ourselves? "
"Leave this matter to me. I can solve it."
Ge Rui revealed a sweet smile. Obviously, she was very confident in this matter.
"Even if you can solve this matter, taking a step back, we don't know how big this underground world is. We can't just wait here quietly for them to make a move, right?"
"I say, as a leader, you used to be quite smart. Could it be that your brain was damaged when you were sucked into the underground world?" Ge Rui stared at Li Xiaoyao's head and turned it around as if she was looking for a hole in his brain.
Sword Three agreed, "That's right. We didn't say that we have to wait here. As long as we solve the problem of the demonic aura, we can still wander around and don't have to worry about attracting the attacks of a large group of demons!"
"Since you've already thought of a way, why don't you hurry up?"
Li Xiaoyao felt that this was feasible. He waved his hand at Ge Rui who was looking for a hole in his brain and said, "Go, go, go. There's no hole in my brain. I'm just a little upset."
Yun Shisan's primordial spirit had not awakened yet. However, the Eight Gates Divine Fiends could sense the situation outside.
However, although the Eight Gates Divine Fiends had a trace of spiritual intelligence, it was not high and could cultivate on its own.
At this moment, the Eight Gates Divine Fiends didn't care about what was happening outside. With this majestic baleful aura, they could only instinctively cultivate.
During this period of time, each of the Eight Gates Divine Fiends had already broken through to the mid stage of the Dao Comprehending realm and were currently advancing towards the late stage.
Suddenly, the baleful aura within the Door of Profundity was swept away by the Eight Gates. At the same time, a powerful aura erupted from the Eight Gates.
Qingyue, who had been paying attention to the Door of Profundity, saw all the baleful aura rushing towards the Eight Gates. Moreover, they were continuously absorbing baleful aura from outside. She felt the eight powerful auras and couldn't help but say, "Yun Shisan's Eight Gates Divine Fiends have broken through!"
Qing Tian nodded and said regretfully, "The Baleful Qi in this underground world is indeed dense. Unfortunately, there is no Spiritual Qi. If there was Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, perhaps the Spiritual Deity of his Door of Mystery could also break through!"
However, Qingyue said, "This is already not bad. The Eight Gates Divine Fiends breaking through to the late stage of the Dao Comprehending realm is already a great fortune. The Spirit God of the Door of Profundity can only cultivate the spirit energy of the world."
The Door of Profundity cultivated the power of tribulation and absorbed baleful aura. The Door of Profundity cultivated spirit energy and turned it into Xuan Energy. One couldn't have the best of both worlds. If there was spirit energy in this place, then there wouldn't be such an abundant baleful aura.
Each of the Nine Springs of the Earth contained a majestic baleful aura. This was also the so-called turbid aura. If there was spirit energy, then it would definitely be neutralized.
The Nine Springs of the Earth were the springs of life of a world. The majestic life force of the world came from the Nine Springs of the Earth. However, each of these springs was a place of great danger and was filled with a majestic baleful aura.
Only when this baleful aura flowed along the earth veins and gathered the baleful aura of the Nine Springs in one place would this baleful aura become an endless source of life. This was the saying, 'when things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction'.
