Wang Mengbin possessed several mid-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures, particularly the Five-Thunder Halberd.
There was no need to engage in a death battle with seventh-tier demonic beasts. Wang Yingjie and the other four's cultivation levels were not high, and if a fight broke out, Wang Mengbin wouldn't be able to look after them. Therefore, they tried their best to avoid confrontations whenever possible.
They had successfully avoided the first two seventh-tier demonic beasts, taking a significant detour. However, this seventh-tier Ink Cloud Toad could not be avoided and had to be eliminated.
Had Wang Mengbin not advanced to the Integration Stage, they wouldn't have been able to reach this place at all. The three seventh-tier demonic beasts alone would have been enough to cause them significant trouble.
It was better to be careful; this place was even more dangerous than the Fallen Spirit Ruins.
Wang Mengbin's expression was solemn. Besides seventh-tier demonic beasts, there were also numerous restrictions.
Bai Yuqi collected the black toad's corpse. The group then soared into the sky, flying forward, surrounded by hundreds of bee puppet beasts that also served as an alert.
Along the way, they encountered many venomous insects and beasts. Fortunately, their ranks were not high, and Wang Yingjie and the other four were able to handle them without Wang Mengbin needing to intervene.
Two days later, they stopped. Ahead lay an open area where not a blade of grass grew.
Bai Yuqi took out a small, shimmering silver mirror. She infused it with spiritual power, and the mirror emitted a dazzling silver light, spraying a misty silver glow that covered the void. There was no anomaly.
The silver glow slowly moved, revealing no anomalies. "Go!"
Wang Zongyun formed a hand seal, and dozens of bee puppets flapped their wings and flew towards the open area.
After the bee puppets flew over a hundred feet into the open area, they suddenly stopped. Their bodies trembled slightly, then tiny cracks appeared on their surfaces, and they disintegrated into piles of scrap metal.
"Spatial restriction!" Bai Yuqi frowned. This meant they had to take a detour, but fortunately, the dense forest was quite large.
After more than half a day, they appeared outside a narrow, long canyon. The canyon had sparse vegetation and looked somewhat desolate.
Wang Yingjie took out a map and examined it carefully.
The last time Master Hunyuan visited the Tomb of Dangyue was tens of thousands of years ago. After so many years, the information he possessed might no longer be reliable. Some areas previously occupied by seventh-tier demonic beasts might now house different beasts or no beasts at all. Conversely, some areas that were once free of demonic beasts might now have them.
The restrictions on divine sense here were significant, preventing their divine sense from extending too far.
Liu Hongxue flipped her right hand, and a red light flashed, revealing a shimmering red eyeball in her palm. Runes flickered on its surface, and it exuded astonishing spiritual energy.
This Spirit-Seeking Orb was refined from the eyeball of a Multieyed race member at the Void Refinement Stage. It could observe distant situations and would be useful now.
She infused spiritual power, and the Spirit-Seeking Orb glowed with a dazzling red light. "Nine-Yin Miasma Bees! It's actually this type of gregarious venomous insect," Liu Hongxue said with a frown.
"How many seventh-tier Nine-Yin Miasma Bees are there?" Wang Yingjie pressed.
"Four, all low-grade seventh-tier, and dozens of sixth-tier Nine-Yin Miasma Bees," Liu Hongxue replied truthfully.
"Let's use puppet beasts to lure them away, then trap them with treasures! With the addition of a formation, it should be fine."
Wang Mengbin suggested. They returned along their path and began setting up.
Inside the canyon, in an underground cave spanning over a hundred mu, a large number of purple demonic bees could be seen. Their tails bore nine circular black spirit patterns, and their thin wings had golden spirit patterns.
Nine-Yin Miasma Bees are gregarious venomous insects.
A dazzling ball of silver lightning lit up, and Wang Mengbin appeared, a pair of shimmering silver wings bristling with countless silver electric arcs on his back.
In his hand, he held a shimmering long halberd, its surface covered with electric arcs of five different colors.
With a slight flick of his wrist, hundreds of thick, five-colored lightning bolts surged forth, heading straight for the Nine-Yin Miasma Bees.
Struck by the five-colored lightning, the low-tier Nine-Yin Miasma Bees disintegrated into ashes.
The seventh-tier Nine-Yin Miasma Bees noticed Wang Mengbin, flapping their wings and pouncing. Each of them opened its mouth and spat out purple venomous fire, heading directly for Wang Mengbin.
Wang Mengbin let out a loud roar that echoed ceaselessly throughout the underground cave—the Soul Suppressing Roar.
After advancing to the Integration Stage, Wang Mengbin's divine sense had significantly improved. Naturally, the power of the Soul Suppressing Roar also increased when he unleashed it again.
A large number of Nine-Yin Miasma Bees dropped from mid-air, their life force gone, while the bodies of the seventh-tier Nine-Yin Miasma Bees trembled slightly.
A green light flashed, and a misty green brick appeared out of thin air, striking at the seventh-tier Nine-Yin Miasma Bees. Before the green brick could land, purple light flared from their bodies, enveloping the brick and slowing its descent. Each of them then spat out a stream of purple venomous fire, striking the green brick, causing it to emit a wisp of green smoke and dim its spiritual light.
Their sharp claws fiercely struck the green brick, which shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of debris.
Wang Mengbin transformed into a silver escape light and flew away.
The seventh-tier Nine-Yin Miasma Bees immediately pursued him, determined to tear Wang Mengbin to shreds.
Less than fifteen minutes later, Wang Mengbin appeared above a dense forest, with four enormous Nine-Yin Miasma Bees following closely behind him.
Wang Mengbin formed a hand seal. A series of deafening thunderclaps rumbled from high in the sky, and four thick silver lightning bolts descended from the heavens, striking towards the Nine-Yin Miasma Bees.
As the Nine-Yin Miasma Bees were about to evade, a loud masculine roar rang out, causing their bodies to tremble slightly.
Before they could recover their senses, the four thick silver lightning bolts struck their bodies, and dazzling lightning enveloped their forms.
A silver light flashed, and a shimmering silver pagoda appeared out of thin air, spraying a misty silver glow. It enveloped the four Nine-Yin Miasma Bees and drew them into the silver pagoda.
The silver pagoda shook violently, appearing as if it could fall from the sky at any moment.
Low-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures could not contain them for too long, and destroying them would not be easy. Wang Mengbin was not arrogant enough to fight four at once; containing them for a period would suffice.
Wang Mengbin took out a shimmering yellow formation disc and cast several incantations into it. The ground trembled slightly, and countless yellow mists emerged, covering an area of a hundred li.
He leaped and flew back along the way they came. When he returned to the canyon, Liu Hongxue and the other five were already harvesting spirit medicines inside the cave.
"We've got it! Retreat quickly; we can't stay here long!" Wang Mengbin shouted loudly.
Wang Yingjie and the other five quickly flew out of the underground cave. The six of them flew towards the outside of the canyon. After passing through the canyon, a vast, boundless grassland appeared before them.
According to the map, crossing this grassland would lead them to their destination.
They had been in the Tomb of Dangyue for over half a year, taking numerous detours and avoiding many restrictions. Many treasure-seeking puppets had also been destroyed.
The closer they got, the less Wang Mengbin dared to be careless.
Wang Zongyun controlled the bee puppets to scout ahead, while the rest followed behind, their faces full of vigilance.
Seven days later, they crossed the grassland, arriving at a continuous range of lush green mountains. They stood outside a valley surrounded on three sides by mountains, a valley that was filled with a large amount of red mist.
"This is the place," Wang Yingjie said, his expression solemn and his breathing growing heavy.
Liu Hongxue took out the Spirit-Seeking Orb, infused it with spiritual power, and frowned, saying, "There are restrictions set here; we can't see clearly inside the valley."
Wang Zongyun summoned a Giant Bear Puppet Beast at the Spirit Transformation Stage and controlled it to walk slowly into the valley.
Before long, a series of deafening roars rang out, and a faint but deafening dragon roar could be heard.
"A Flood Dragon!" Wang Mengbin's expression tightened.
