Chapter 690 The Insects of the Dark River

"Hmph, you'd better not regret it!"

Ning Qi gave a cold smile and said, "So, are you ready?"

"Come on, let me see your strength!"

Xiao Haotian waved to him, then suddenly retreated several feet.

At this point, the two were several tens of meters apart.

Ning Qi looked at Xiao Haotian in front of him with a solemn expression.

The armor he wore was definitely not ordinary precious armor.

I was really careless just now. If I had asked him to take off his armor earlier, we wouldn't have had so much trouble.

"Then, experience my power!"

Ning Qi was enraged by a single sentence.

He was the first to follow them out, his eyes filled with determination.

It felt like facing not a person, but a puppet.

"bring it on!"

Xiao Haotian looked at Ning Qi and deliberately beckoned to him with his finger.

After he finished speaking, a burst of light suddenly erupted from his body.

The light suddenly magnified, becoming incredibly dazzling.

With just one move, the people on both sides around them began to retreat violently.

"call!"

However, there are still some experts among them.

With just a wave of his hand, he unleashed the power of immortals and demons within his body.

The next moment, Ning Qi concentrated the immortal power within his body and began to look ahead.

Ahead, Xiao Haotian was already poised to strike.

The powerful fluctuations instantly created ripples in the void between the two.

"boom!"

In the blink of an eye, their attacks collided.

It produced a loud sonic boom.

This gust of air resembled the cross-section of a lens.

It surged rapidly to both sides at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Crack!"

If this were happening outside, a clash of this magnitude would have already shattered mountains and rivers.

However, they are currently inside this place.

Their attack only stirred up a cloud of dust when it hit the stone wall.

Because it was a full-force attack launched by both of them at the same time, the attack directly left a mark on the stone wall.

'call! '

After a series of shockwaves, the figures of both sides reappeared.

Ning Qi is currently unharmed.

At this moment, Xiao Haotian had blood on the corner of his mouth.

His entire face was deathly pale.

He was clearly injured.

"So, want to come again?"

Ning Qi looked at him and asked with a smile.

"Kid, I really underestimated you."

Xiao Haoran let out a long sigh, forcing himself to recover.

"I'm telling you to remember, there are always mountains beyond mountains!"

Ning Qi smiled and then said, "Since you have already lost, please leave this place."

"And hand over one of your most precious treasures!"

"you!"

Xiao Haotian's face darkened upon hearing his words.

However, he had nothing to say, since he had just made those requests.

Now that Ning Qi has won, he can't very well refuse in front of so many people.

Otherwise, how will he maintain his standing with his subordinates in the future?

"What, you're not going to back out, are you?"

Ning Qi looked at him with a mocking expression.

Those eyes were full of mockery.

"for you!"

Xiao Haotian gritted his teeth and finally took out a treasure and tossed it to Ning Qi.

"call!"

Ning Qi didn't stand on ceremony and directly put away his treasure.

I had no intention of even looking into what it was.

His most prized possession was contained in an iron box.

However, Ning Qi had already explored it with his divine sense and confirmed that it was indeed a treasure.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Haotian had no intention of staying any longer, so he called out and led his men away first.

His men were all glaring menacingly at Ning Qi.

He then led his men and left.

Only Ning Qi and Ji Wanru and a group of others remained here.

"Great!"

"Finally, I got my revenge!"

"..."

After Xiao Haotian and his men left, their people cheered.

"Keep your voice down, there's a sword spirit here!"

Ji Wanru hurriedly reminded everyone to prevent them from getting carried away.

"Alright, they're gone now. I'm sure they won't be bothering us again anytime soon!"

Ning Qi clapped his hands, then turned his gaze forward and said, "Now that no one is blocking our way, let's go in and see what else is going on!"

"it is good!"

"Let's go!"

"..."

After everyone agreed, they all followed and went inside.

After they all went inside, they discovered that there were still some inscriptions in the passage.

However, there are also some corpses here.

"These are all their people!"

Ji Wanru frowned as she looked at the corpses on the ground: "We've been tricked!"

"They didn't leave because they lost; they left because they knew there was trouble ahead."

"That's right, it really is!"

"Look, there are more corpses ahead!"

"They're here too!"

"..."

After she finished speaking, many people began to go forward to investigate the situation.

Soon, they discovered that there were many more corpses there.

"There are also demons here!"

Ji Wanru walked forward for a while, then said, "Young Master Ding, it seems we can't go any further!"

"It gets increasingly dangerous the further we go, otherwise there wouldn't be so many corpses."

I don't think so!

Ning Qi shook his head after hearing her words, and then said, "I have a feeling that there must be some treasure ahead!"

"Otherwise, why would their people rush over to the demons' corpses without hesitation?"

“What you said makes sense, but with so many corpses, I feel there must be something going on.”

Ji Wanru frowned and pointed at the corpses on the ground, saying, "Otherwise, how could they, being so strong, abandon the bodies of their subordinates and just leave like that?"

"Hmm, what you said makes sense!"

Ning Qi listened to her analysis, nodded, and then said, "In that case, you can wait outside!"

"I'll go out and see what's going on."

"No, that's too risky!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Wanru shook her head and said, "You should come with us too. We have other options."

"There's no need to take this route; it's too dangerous."

"Danger exists, but so does hope!"

"I'd like to see what's holding them back!"

Ning Qi had made up her mind, and no amount of persuasion would change her mind.

"This……"

Ji Wanru hesitated.

She also knew Ning Qi's personality; once he made up his mind about something, he would never give up easily.

"Alright, you can take your men out now!"

"It's safe here for now, so don't worry about anything going wrong!"

"I'll go check the situation. If there's danger, I won't act rashly!" Ning Qi smiled at her, then continued, "I'm not stupid. I won't go and die knowing it's dangerous!"

"Alright then! You need to be careful too, don't let your guard down!"

Ji Wanru finally agreed.

However, still feeling uneasy, he continued to remind her.

"Okay, don't worry!"

Ning Qi nodded, then said to the crowd, "Once you're out, don't cause any trouble. Wait for me here for three days."

"If I don't come out when the time comes, you should go somewhere else."

"Also, the reason I didn't come out wasn't because something happened to me. I must have discovered something to continue exploring!"

"I will let you know I'm safe here!"

"Alright! In that case, you can go ahead!"

Ji Wanru nodded, a worried look on her face: "You must be careful!"

"it is good!"

After Ning Qi agreed, he turned and left.

The people behind them also offered reminders.

They watched Ning Qi walk away before turning and leaving.

"Master, what do you mean by what's ahead?"

Yao Ling, perched on Ning Qi's shoulder, looked around at the surroundings and couldn't help but ask.

His eyes were full of curiosity as he looked at the situation before him.

"I don't know. We'll go out and take a look later, then we'll know."

Ning shook her head and continued on her way.

Upon reaching the front, the number of corpses on the ground gradually decreased.

However, a few can still be seen sporadically.

Ning Qi also examined several corpses to see what was going on.

However, the result he wanted did not come.

In the end, he stopped observing the corpses and continued forward with Yao Ling.

They quickly passed through the passage and arrived in the outside world.

Here, the situation is different from what they have encountered before.

There is an underground river ahead of here.

It bears some resemblance to the source of fire we encountered before.

However, the underground river here is not a raging fire, but black water.

Within this black water, waves of heat would occasionally rise.

It burst forth with a viscous black liquid.

After these liquids appeared, they began to merge with the underground river here, becoming part of it.

While they were all gathered together, Ning Qi turned his attention back to them.

"Master, this is..."

Yao Ling looked at the situation before her and couldn't help but show a solemn expression.

He had never seen this black water before.

I don't know what it is.

"I don't know, let's go check it out!"

Ning Qi shook his head, and then prepared to go and find out what was going on.

"Master, look here!"

However, before he could even see what was going on, Yao Ling called out to him.

Ning Qi looked in the direction he was looking and discovered the situation.

In the black water, a bug the size of a stray dog ​​crawled out.

They seemed to be able to sense Ning Qi's presence.

After crawling out, it opened its huge mouth and charged towards Ning Qi.

Clearly, they saw him as their prey.

These insects were all very large, and each one looked fierce.

After appearing, they immediately locked onto Ning Qi's location.

They roared and charged toward him.

"Be careful!"

Seeing this, Yao Ling immediately reminded Ning Qi, "Master, we should retreat first."

"Don't panic."

Ning Qi looked at the black insects in front of him and said to Yao Ling, "I am a Great Luo Golden Immortal, how can I be scared by a few insects!"

"But Xiao Haotian was quite strong just now!"

Yao Ling retorted.

"No matter how strong he is, isn't he just a half-step Grand Luo Golden Immortal?"

"You idiot who can't even withstand a single move from me!"

"If it weren't for his status, I would have killed him long ago!"

Ning Qi didn't care at all.

"Huh? Master, you just left him some room to maneuver?"

Yao Ling immediately understood what he meant.

He never expected that Ning Qi had deliberately left him a way out.

"That's right, otherwise, do you think he could have withstood it!"

After responding, Ning Qi turned his attention to the black insects: "However, they were able to kill so many of them despite the enemy having so many of them."

"This shows that these insects are not to be underestimated!"

"Or perhaps they have their own methods, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get them to evacuate from here."

"Yes, we need to be careful!"

Yao Ling agreed wholeheartedly, and then continued to remind Ning Qi to be careful.

"call!"

Ning Qi did not respond to his words, but instead leaped into the air and arrived directly above the void.

It was at least several meters above the ground, much taller than these black insects.

"puff!"

"Shh!"

However, before Ning Qi could come down...

There was already movement below.

These black insects began to spray green liquid at him incessantly.

Clumps of liquid instantly fell onto the stone wall.

It made a hissing, burning sound.

"Master, that's amazing! Their venom can actually corrode the stone walls here!"

Yao Ling witnessed these events and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"It is indeed very strong, but it is just a ferocious beast that has not yet developed intelligence!"

Ning Qi listened to him and focused his attention on the stone wall.

After looking at it for a while, he finally snapped out of his daze and turned his attention to the insect in front of him.

At this moment, the insects began to gather around him.

"puff!"

"..."

They continued to attack Ning Qi, trying to bring him down and make him their food.

"That's amazing!"

Yao Ling looked at the stone wall that they had corroded and exclaimed in amazement, "The stone wall that even the sword energy here can't damage is so fragile in front of them."

"Everything has its counter, so they might not necessarily be the most powerful!"

Ning Qi shook his head, then continued, "However, since we want to go over there, we'll have to have a go with them!"

He looked around and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

The ground is covered with countless black insects, which have completely taken over the area.

Everything here has become a paradise for these insects.

"My God, there are so many."

"Let's go!"

Yao Ling looked at the insects beneath her and felt completely unwell.

Even when he spoke, his voice trembled.

If you were surrounded by so many insects, you would be in grave danger.

"Don't rush, let me see if they have any weaknesses!"

Now that Ning Qi has arrived, he has no intention of leaving.

After saying that, Mother dispersed her divine sense and began to observe the situation.

"puff!"

"..."

Meanwhile, the insects below continued to attack him.

They want to get this person down from above.

Yao Ling circled back and forth on Ning Qi's shoulder, her eyes filled with worry.

However, seeing Ning Qi's calm and unhurried demeanor, he didn't want to offer any further advice.

Time, and so it began to flow slowly. (End of Chapter)
