"I don't know about that. I just feel that this skeleton is a little strange, so I wanted you to take a look at it." Weeping Soul shook its head and said.
Han Li nodded and looked at the skeleton without saying a word.
At this moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.
"Su Miaqian, Jin Liu and the rest are here. Weeping Soul, hide in the flower branch space first, don't let them find you." Han Li's eyes flashed and immediately waved his hand to open the entrance of the flower branch space.
The Weeping Soul Beast nodded before flying back inside.
Han Li immediately rose into the sky and flew in one direction.
After a while, various rays of light appeared in the sky behind him, and their direction was slightly different from Han Li's.
Han Li looked at these rays of light and immediately went to meet them.
Those rays of light immediately changed their direction and flew down towards him. Both parties soon met.
Han Li stopped and those rays of light landed nearby. After various rays of light flashed, they turned into Su Miaqian, Jin Liu and the rest. There were only thirty to forty of them, which was a lot less than before.
However, Valley Master Fu and the other Taiyi Realm existences were still there. It was just that almost all of them were injured and looked rather pathetic.
With that in mind, Han Li was able to roughly guess what had happened to them.
"I remember you are Daoist Shi who was with Daoist Yu. You are still alive?
Why are you alone? Where are the others? "Su Miaqian looked at Han Li and asked.
"We encountered many metal beasts behind the golden gate. Daoist Yu Kuohai and the rest died in the mouths of those metal beasts. I and a few other Daoists managed to escape during the chaos, but we got separated later on.
Daoist Su, Daoist Jin, it's good to meet you guys. "Han Li looked scared.
Although the others had a premonition, their faces still darkened when they heard this.
"Then you are really lucky."
Jin Liu saw Han Li's timid look and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes as he said sarcastically.
Han Li didn't seem to hear Jin Liu's sarcasm and nodded in agreement, "You're right, Daoist. Fortunately, my luck has always been good. Otherwise, I would've died in the mouths of those metal beasts."
Jin Liu was stunned and glared at Han Li. He did not continue to taunt him. Instead, he asked, "Shi Mu, your team went through the golden gate first. There should be some treasures inside, right? What are they?
Who is in possession of those things now? "
As he said this, a fiery light flashed in his eyes.
"Alas, it's empty inside the golden gate. There are no treasures at all.
As soon as we entered, we were attacked by the metal beasts. We tried our best to escape, but we didn't get anything. "Han Li shook his head.
"Is that so?" Jin Liu raised his eyebrows, obviously doubting Han Li's words.
"Daoist Jin, we've already agreed that after entering the golden gate, the treasures inside belong to you. It doesn't seem appropriate for you to interrogate others like this," Valley Master Fu suddenly said.
"Valley Master Fu, please don't misunderstand. I don't have the intention to snatch other people's treasures. I just want to make a deal with this Sect Fellow Shi. Since there's nothing inside, then forget it," Jin Liu laughed and said.
"If you want to make a deal, wait until we leave the Time Tower.
Daoist Shi, you came to the second floor earlier than us. Did you find anything? "Su Xiaoxian glanced at Jin Liu and asked Han Li.
"No, I've been wandering around here for a long time. Other than sand, there's nothing," Han Li shook his head.
"If that's the case, let's continue to explore," Su Xiaoxian heard him and said with a frown.
The others had no objections. The group did not stay here any longer and continued to fly forward.
In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.
The desert below finally showed some changes. Some thick stones began to appear, and a real hill appeared in front of them.
Along the way, the further they went, the more strange weathered skeletons on the ground below them.
Han Li was at the end of the group. His eyes flashed, and he felt more and more uneasy.
Su Xiaoxian and the others also discovered the skeletons on the ground, but they thought they were just ordinary skeletons and did not pay much attention to them.
As the group flew, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the sky in front of them. It was very soft at first, but after a few breaths, it became deafening.
"What's going on!"
Su Xiaoxian and the others stopped and used their divine sense to explore the front. As a result, their faces all became extremely pale.
Just now, their divine sense sensed a huge dark red cloud appearing in the distant sky. It was pressing down on the group at an extremely fast speed.
Within the crimson clouds, there were many dark red bugs the size of rice grains. Their bodies were burning with red flames, and it was hard to tell how many of them there were.
"These are Fire Fireflies!"
Han Li quickly saw the real body of the red cloud. It was the Fire Fireflies that he had encountered in the forbidden area of Truth Sect. He was instantly shocked.
At the same time, he also understood the origin of the skeletons. It turned out that they were killed by the Fire Fireflies. No wonder the weathering was so strong.
Without any hesitation, Han Li immediately turned into a golden rainbow and flew into the distance.
That day in Truth Sect, Chi Rong released nearly ten thousand Fire Fireflies, which had already made them flustered. The number of Fire Fireflies in front of them was many times more than before, and they could not fight against them at all.
Although the others did not recognize the Fire Fireflies, they were shocked when they saw the power of the red cloud. They immediately turned and fled into the distance.
Among them, there were naturally quite a few people with Jin Liu as their representative. They scoffed at Han Li's cowardly behavior of hiding in the back and running the fastest.
The swarm of Fire Fireflies seemed to have sensed the presence of Han Li and the others. They roared loudly and squeaked excitedly, like sharks smelling blood, and chased after them.
The speed of the swarm of Fire Fireflies was amazing, and they did not seem to be affected by the Time Restriction of this place. Although everyone fled at full speed, they were still not as fast as them. The distance between the two sides was slowly narrowing.
The few Golden Immortals who were flying at the back were quickly caught up by the swarm.
"What the hell are these insects, I don't believe they are so powerful!" Among them, a red-faced man roared and suddenly stopped.
A red light flashed on his body, and a raging golden flame was ignited. It surged and spread, covering a radius of a few thousand feet, forming a red golden sea of fire.
An indescribable heat diffused from the red golden sea of fire, and the nearby void trembled violently as if it was about to be directly ignited.
The red-faced man opened his mouth, and the red golden sea of fire swelled up and turned into a huge fire wave of a thousand feet high. It rolled straight toward the swarm of Fire Fireflies, and swept thousands of Fire Fireflies into it.
The red golden flame rolled, and the Fire Fireflies that were wrapped immediately rolled up and down, making a sizzling sound. The other nearby swarms were also swept into chaos by the fire wave.
The red-faced man showed a hint of joy on his face, but this joy only lasted for a short moment before it disappeared without a trace.
After the Fire Fireflies that were wrapped in the red golden flame rolled a dozen times, they immediately stabilized their bodies and flapped their wings to fly toward the red-faced man. They did not seem to be injured at all, and they arrived in front of the man in the blink of an eye.
The red-faced man's face was full of shock and anger. He let out a loud roar and waved his hand to summon a fiery red painting scroll. It exuded astonishing flame spiritual power fluctuations. Clearly, it was a very high quality immortal artifact.
He hurriedly made a gesture with both hands and launched a series of spells into the Fire Phoenix painting scroll.
The painting scroll hummed and turned into a brilliant curtain of fire, protecting the red-faced man's body.
The next moment, countless Fire Fireflies flew over and wrapped the red-faced man and the crimson curtain of fire, forming a huge cocoon.
Then, the Fire Fireflies swooped down and hit the crimson curtain of fire. The dark red flames on their bodies burned fiercely and merged with the crimson curtain of fire.
The crimson curtain of fire suddenly lit up, and immediately shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it was extinguished and dissipated, turning back into the red painting scroll.
However, the painting scroll had aged 10,000 times, and wrinkled lines and cracks appeared on its surface. It no longer had the slightest spiritual nature.
Countless Fire Fireflies immediately flew down and wrapped around the red-faced man. Like countless mosquitoes, they bit the red-faced man's body and easily broke through the protective flames of the red-faced man.
The red-faced man screamed miserably and struggled with all his might. The flames on the surface of his body surged and turned into giant flaming hands that quickly scratched at his body in an attempt to drive away the fire fireflies. Unfortunately, it was useless.
The red-faced man's originally radiant cheeks quickly became old, and wrinkles appeared on his face. His fiery red hair also quickly turned snow-white.
But in the blink of an eye, the red-faced man turned into a dry corpse, and the clothes on his body also became rotten and fell down.
The swarm of insects also lost interest in him and let him fall to the ground. They flapped their wings and rushed toward the others.
The few people at the back were quickly caught up by the swarm of insects and drowned.
A few shrill screams came from inside, but they were immediately swallowed and annihilated.
"Fire Fireflies!
I remember now, those insects are Fire Fireflies, born with the power of the Law of Time. They can spit out the flame of time and burn the lifespan of other creatures!
Everywhere they pass will be barren. They are extremely terrifying spiritual insects. There are so many of them here! "Jin Liu saw the scene behind him and his body trembled and he roared.
When the others heard this, their expressions changed greatly. They each used some acceleration secret techniques to increase their speed by 20% to 30%. They flew forward and basically maintained the same speed as the swarm of insects behind them.
"Fire Fireflies are extremely sensitive to the aura of flesh and blood. Everyone, cover your physical aura and fly to the side at the same time to avoid the swarm of insects!" Su Liqian said in a low voice.
When the others heard this, they hurriedly covered their physical aura and flew forward to the left.
When Han Li heard this, a trace of surprise appeared on his face. He immediately used the Myriad Apertures Quietude Technique to hide his physical aura.
In this way, the swarm of insects behind them was in a mess. They seemed to have lost their sense of Han Li and the others and did not change direction to chase after Han Li and the others.
The group was slightly relieved, but the miserable state of the red-faced man and the others was still vivid in their minds. They did not dare to let down their guard and continued to speed up.
