"Shhh!"
Suddenly, the sound of rustling leaves filled the air from all directions.
"They're here, be careful!" Gao Lan said, then rushed out impatiently.
In the blink of an eye, they rushed to a distance, and because the miasma blocked their vision, Gao Lan's figure could no longer be seen.
But Ling Yi and the other two weren't too worried.
Gao Lan is at the Foundation Establishment, Ninth Level, which is the highest level in terms of the Immortal Realm and also the most experienced in Combat.
Mengli is a Gu Ling little devil from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Shen Qingyue is the aloof fairy of Alkaid Peak, the most beautiful disciple, and is eccentric and cold.
Gao Lan was a notorious Combat Madman in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
He enjoys sparring with others, and most of the direct disciples from various peaks of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect have sparred with Gao Lan.
However, the outcome of the Combat was mixed, with both winners and losers.
Gao Lan excels in close combat and possesses a top- Supreme Pin Earth Spiritual Root, making her strong in defense but lacking in offense.
Although she could Combat with Sword Control, her Greatsword door-sized sword was powerful but lacked agility.
When faced with someone agile and skilled in long-range control and attacks, Gao Lan can only passively take hits.
To put it simply, Gao Lan is all about high HP and high defense, somewhat like a warrior in a game.
"Drink up, you little bug, go to hell!"
"Squeak, quack!"
Soon, the sounds of Combat from Gao Lan could be heard from ahead.
Ling Yi could Perception that at least a hundred Qi Refining Realm minor Xiaoyao had surrounded them.
Ling Yi was so focused on Perception his surroundings that he neglected the area underground.
By the time Ling Yi was inspired, it was already too late.
Ling Yi extended his Perception downwards and couldn't help but gasp.
These Qi Refining Xiaoyao were not all of them; hundreds of meters below, a continuous stream of Xiaoyao were gathering.
The number is probably well over ten thousand.
Something's not right.
The sect left this Centipede Forest as Land of Trials for its disciples, so it would never have allowed these centipede demons to multiply and grow to such a scale.
With so many centipede Xiaoyao, even Golden Core Stage cultivator would be doomed if they were swarmed by them, let alone someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Hahaha, this is Combat should be like, so exhilarating!" Gao Lan, standing in front, wielded his Greatsword, each strike slaying one or more centipede Xiaoyao.
Each of these little centipede Xiaoyao is one or two meters long.
As it moves, its hundred legs tumble and roll, moving at an extremely fast speed.
Logically speaking, Gao Lan should have high defense and high health, but lack mobility.
But Gao Lan at this moment was clearly different from her usual self.
Gao Lan wielded that Greatsword sword with Lightning speed.
Conversely, any centipede Xiaoyao that gets close to Gao Lan will experience a significant decrease in speed.
Under normal circumstances, these centipede Xiaoyao move at a speed of about 80 miles per hour.
But once it gets close to Gao Lan, its speed drops rapidly to less than 30 miles per hour.
[Ding! Slayed Qi Refining Xiaoyao, gained three days' worth of cultivation. Automatically received. Cultivation level increased!]
[Ding! Slayed Qi Refining Xiaoyao, gained five days of cultivation. Automatically received. Cultivation level increased!]
[Ding, Qi Refining Qi Refining Xiaoyao...]
At this moment, system notifications kept ringing in Gao Lan's mind.
Feeling the improvement in her cultivation, Gao Lan became increasingly excited and agitated.
He wielded the Greatsword like a giant windmill.
Because of the speed at which he killed them, Gao Lan actually began to actively chase after the areas where the Xiaoyao were densely packed.
Fortunately, although Gao Lan was intoxicated, she knew she couldn't go too far.
Therefore, they simply circled around Ling Yi and the other two, killing them as they went.
Ling Yi observed for a moment and found that Gao Lan's area was exactly a circle with a radius of about ten meters.
Furthermore, some speculations have been made regarding Gao Lan's domain-like Divine Ability.
"Is it Gravity field?" Ling Yi murmured.
However, that's not the main point. The main point is that Gao Lan's cultivation level is increasing rapidly.
With each centipede Xiaoyao slain, his Aura Field grew stronger.
At this rate, it probably won't be long before Gao Lan reaches the Foundation Establishment Perfection, or even directly breaks through to the Golden Core.
Ling Yi stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.
At this moment, Mengli and Shen Qingyue also joined the Combat.
Shen Qingyue launched a ranged attack Sword Control. The blue Flying Sword spun and danced, causing the temperature to plummet wherever it passed. Amidst the spreading cold mist, the centipede Xiaoyao was instantly covered in Bai Shuang and its movements became sluggish.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Qingyue had already Freeze a large number of centipede Xiaoyao.
"Junior Sister Mengli, it's up to you now!" Shen Qingyue said to Mengli.
"Okay, thank you so much, Senior Sister!" Mengli said excitedly.
" Blazing Fire Technique!"
Mengli's long sword soared into the Air Control, and as Mengli hand seals changed, the Flying Sword suddenly burst into flames.
"Go!" Mengli shouted.
The burning Flying Sword shot out, tracing an arc, and easily killed the Flying Sword that had been immobilized by Shen Qingyue.
[Ding! Killed a Qi Refining Xiaoyao, experience points increased by 100!]
[Ding! Killed a Qi Refining Xiaoyao, experience points increased by 100!]
Similarly, system notifications kept ringing in Mengli's mind.
"Hehe, experience points, my experience points, all my experience points." Mengli's eyes shone brightly.
"Wow, cultivation techniques, pills, equipment, drop them all, drop them all, drop them all!" Mengli muttered, her expression frantic.
Ling Yi glanced back at Mengli. Experience points, huh? Interesting!
Now, Ling Yi can basically confirm that both Gao Lan and Mengli are now using cheat codes.
However, their cheat codes seem to be somewhat different.
" Gao Lan, after killing Xiaoyao, you can obtain its cultivation level. It's like getting cultivation points for killing Xiaoyao, right? Mengli, Leveling Up by Killing Monsters?"
Ling Yi then looked at Shen Qingyue, who was still controlling the Flying Sword and Freeze the surrounding Xiaoyao.
"Then, what is Shen Qingyue's cheat code?"
The key question is, what does their cheating have to do with me?
Ling Yi did not participate in the Combat.
After all, killing these Xiaoyao would bring him no benefit.
Besides, if he makes a move, it would be tantamount to stealing the monster's kill.
Maybe Gao Lan and the others won't be happy about it!
"I'm almost out of Spiritual Power, Mengli, Shen Qingyue, you guys take over!" Just then, Gao Lan flashed away and broke out of the Xiaoyao ' encirclement.
They appeared before Ling Yi and the other two.
"Senior Sister Gao Lan, Senior Sister Qingyue, catch!" Mengli waved her hand, and two porcelain bottles flew towards Gao Lan and Shen Qingyue.
"This is Spirit-Nurturing Pill, which can quickly replenish Spiritual Power," Mengli explained.
Gao Lan and Shen Qingyue each opened a porcelain bottle and poured out a blue cesium pill the size of a thumb.
The two exchanged a glance. "Spirit-Nurturing Pill"? Never heard of it, don't recognize it!
Shen Qingyue hesitated, after all, he wasn't familiar with Junior Sister Mengli, or rather, he wasn't familiar with anyone.
I was somewhat wary.
But Gao Lan didn't think too much about it and threw the pill directly into her mouth.
"Hmm, it tastes pretty good!" Gao Lan's eyes lit up.
"Wow, the effect is so good! It instantly replenished half of my Spiritual Power. This is amazing!"
Inside the porcelain bottle were nine Spirit-Nurturing Pill, and Gao Lan ate one.
But at that moment, his Shang-Chi suddenly changed.
"Oh no, it's about to reach the Golden Core stage! You guys hold on, I need to raise my cultivation level first, then I'll help you later!" Gao Lan said, sitting down cross-legged on the ground.
Shen Qingyue and Mengli were both somewhat surprised.
Is this the Golden Core stage?
"As expected, both Shen Qingyue and Gao Lan have systems."
"As expected, both Mengli and Gao Lan have systems."
The two women thought of it almost simultaneously.
However, without Gao Lan tanking the monsters on the outside, Shen Qingyue and Mengli were finding themselves in a bit of a predicament.
Although they were at the Foundation Establishment Stage and had the combined power of Twin Heavens of Ice and Fire, they could only kill three to five Xiaoyao each time.
But there were over three hundred Xiaoyao around.
The more you kill, the more Xiaoyao appear?
It's not that the more you kill, the more there are; rather, more and more Xiaoyao are emerging from the ground.
" Ling Yi, is there any way?" Mengli asked anxiously after popping a Spirit-Nurturing Pill into her mouth.
