Chapter 2466

Wang Qingshan exchanged ten drops of Creation Divine Water for three musical scores. Lin Bu'er sold the scores to multiple people; otherwise, he would have demanded a higher price.

"Sea of Blood Turning into a River" is one of these compositions. When cultivators listen to it, they slowly fall into an illusion, becoming immersed in slaughter and turning into puppets that know only how to kill.

As Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's cultivation levels increase, Wang Ruyan's performance of "Sea of Blood Turning into a River" will become even more powerful.

Wang Changsheng's eyes were filled with delight. It was truly a musical score created by a Mahayana sound cultivator. With this piece mastered, Wang Ruyan's strength had significantly improved.

Their goal was to gather Bloodscale Ganoderma. As for the Blood-eyed Golden Ape, Wang Changsheng did not want to provoke it, mainly because their cultivation levels were too low.

The clan's Sea Suppressing Ape was already at the late Fourth-tier, not far from the Fifth-tier. If an opportunity arose later, they could then slay the Blood-eyed Golden Ape, allowing the Sea Suppressing Ape to grow faster.

At this moment, Li Long and the two others also arrived, their faces filled with shock.

According to the original plan, Wang Ruyan would lure the Blood-eyed Golden Ape into the formation, and they would use the formation to destroy it.

Wang Ruyan's use of sound arts to scare away the Blood-eyed Golden Ape was beyond their expectations.

Li Long had initially underestimated Wang Ruyan, thinking she would be a burden, but now his opinion had completely changed.

Putting himself in the Blood-eyed Golden Ape's shoes, how long could he have lasted? Fifteen minutes? Thirty minutes?

Moreover, Wang Ruyan was not fighting alone; Wang Changsheng was also there.

"Senior Martial Brother Li, let's quickly gather the Bloodscale Ganoderma! The Blood-eyed Golden Ape might return soon," Wang Changsheng suggested.

Li Long acknowledged him and instructed Liu Sen and Qin Rong to gather the Bloodscale Ganoderma.

There were a total of fifteen Bloodscale Ganoderma plants: one 20,000-year-old plant, three 10,000-year-old plants, and the remaining eleven were at least 5,000 years old.

Wang Changsheng received seven Bloodscale Ganoderma: two 10,000-year-old plants and five 8,000-year-old plants. Li Long received one 10,000-year-old plant and two 5,000-year-old plants. Qin Rong and Liu Sen each received two 8,000-year-old plants.

"This place is not suitable for a prolonged stay. Let's return immediately!" Li Long urged. While there were many natural treasures in the Barren Land, there were also many dangers.

Over three hundred years ago, a team of Integration cultivators from the Xuanqing Sect entered the Barren Land to seek treasures, encountered an ancient giant, suffered heavy losses, and many Xuanqing Sect disciples were killed or injured.

Wang Changsheng's expression turned cold. He flicked two fingers at a spot on the ground, and a blue light shot out, causing a piercing whoosh through the air as it passed.

Before the blue light could strike the ground, a golden light burst from beneath the earth, striking towards the blue light.

After a roar sounded, the blue light dissipated, and a powerful wave of air shattered the ground for several miles around.

A gaunt old man in a green robe and a beautiful young woman in a golden dress appeared. They had high-bridged noses and some bluish-yellow spiritual patterns on their arms. Both had cultivation levels at the late Void Refinement stage.

"Lizard race!" Li Long exclaimed, his face filled with murderous intent. The Lizard race was skilled in stealth. If Wang Changsheng hadn't discovered them, they would likely have been ambushed.

Wang Changsheng's lips moved slightly. Qin Rong flicked her wrist, and a green light shot out, blurring and then disappearing.

Soon after, about three hundred miles away, a green light shone in a certain part of the void, revealing a shimmering green thunder spear, covered in countless green electric arcs.

The green thunder spear's lightning greatly intensified, striking towards a certain part of the void.

A yellow light suddenly appeared in the void, meeting the green thunder spear.

With a muffled clang, the green thunder spear flew back.

A yellow light shone in the void, revealing a stocky yellow-clad youth, holding a shimmering yellow short blade, his face filled with murderous intent.

"It seems you didn't discover us by chance. Your divine sense is even stronger than that of a peak Void Refinement cultivator. You must be an elite of the Human race!" The green-robed elder's voice was somewhat hoarse, and his gaze fell upon Wang Changsheng.

The Lizard race was skilled in stealth, yet even with his late Void Refinement cultivation, he had been discovered by Wang Changsheng. It was truly unbelievable.

Before this, Wang Changsheng's group of five had encountered Lin Bu'er and Monk Yuan Xiao, and Lin Bu'er had mentioned their encounter with the Lizard race. Unexpectedly, Wang Changsheng's group of five also encountered them.

If the Lizard race hadn't been constantly moving and had stayed in one place, Wang Changsheng wouldn't have discovered them so easily.

"Attack! Kill them all," Li Long transmitted, his face filled with murderous intent.

With his powerful physical body, he could withstand even low-grade Heavenly Spirit Treasures, so he wasn't afraid of the green-robed elder and his two companions.

Just then, Wang Changsheng suddenly shouted, "Watch out for the ground!"

As soon as his words fell, two thick, long yellow tongues burst from beneath the earth, like two long yellow whips, striking towards Wang Changsheng and the other four.

Qin Rong shook her right hand, and a shimmering silver ring flew out. She cast a spell, and the silver ring's size dramatically increased, unleashing countless silver electric arcs in all directions.

The two yellow tongues, upon touching the dense silver electric arcs, instantly retracted as if encountering a natural enemy.

Two mountain-sized yellow toads emerged from underground. They were over a hundred zhang tall, with drum-sized bumps on their backs and nine shimmering yellow demonic eyes on their heads. Both were Sixth-tier spirit beasts.

A deafening thunderclap echoed from high above, and a colossal thundercloud appeared in the sky. The thundercloud churned violently, continuously expanding to over a hundred miles in size, with countless silver lightning snakes continuously slithering within it, creating a terrifying spectacle.

On the other side, the green-robed elder and his two companions immediately activated their Dharma Idols without a word. Three monstrous humanoid figures with lizard heads and snake tails, each of a different color, appeared high in the sky.

The Lizard race's divine abilities were largely similar, common in their mastery of stealth. Their differences lay in certain individual Lizard clans possessing powerful divine abilities.

Li Long also summoned his Dharma Idol; a shimmering golden giant appeared above his head, with four-tenths of his Dharma Idol condensed.

The Dharma Idols of the green-robed elder and the young woman in the golden dress were also four-tenths condensed, which, to some extent, made them stronger than Li Long.

Wang Changsheng was not in a hurry to summon his Dharma Idol. The Water of the Nether River was too conspicuous; while its appearance didn't reveal much, it would be evident during a fight.

Just as both sides were about to clash, a sharp, piercing hiss rang out, and a large number of various demonic beasts rushed towards them.

Wang Changsheng frowned and looked towards the distant horizon.

He saw a large expanse of black dots appearing on the horizon, forming a continuous mass that blocked out much of the sunlight.

"Oh no, it's the Human-faced Scorpions!" Qin Rong exclaimed in surprise. The Human-faced Scorpions are ranked 235th on the Ten Thousand Insects List, are incredibly venomous, have varied diets, and are very sensitive to the smell of blood. Individually, their strength is not great, but their reproduction rate is extremely fast, numbering from hundreds of thousands to over a million.

"No, there's a Seventh-tier Human-faced Scorpion. Retreat quickly!" Wang Changsheng hurriedly transmitted to Li Long and the two others.

He released the Azure Phoenix Boat, and Wang Ruyan and the other four successively boarded it.

Wang Changsheng cast a spell, and the Azure Phoenix Boat immediately transformed into a streak of green light, shooting through the air at an incredibly high speed.

The green-robed elder and his two companions also reacted quickly. They put away their spirit beasts and transformed into three streaks of light, flying off in a different direction from Wang Changsheng's group of five.

Millions of black giant scorpions appeared in this area, both on the ground and in the sky. Their backs bore grotesque human faces, their tails were held high, and the tips were crescent-shaped hooks, gleaming with cold light.

The Human-faced Scorpion swarm pursued Wang Changsheng's group of five mainly because they had gathered the Bloodscale Ganoderma, and the scent of blood on them attracted the scorpions' attention.
