234: Mysterious Team

"Boom!"

Accompanied by an earth-shattering crash, Li Wuji's body slammed heavily onto the ground.

In an instant, the earth trembled violently, directly splitting open into countless bottomless cracks that spread in all directions.

The rising dust and smoke blotted out the sky and sun, filling the surroundings and instantly making the area chaotic and difficult to see through.

The surrounding air was also strongly impacted, with fierce winds howling past, emitting sharp, piercing sounds, as if the entire world had fallen into complete Chaos and destruction at this moment.

The Dragon Horned Crocodile King had clearly sensed the strangeness of its opponent, so it attacked again without hesitation.

One could see dark clouds churning in the sky, with endless blood-red lightning interwoven.

In an instant, they formed bolts of lightning spears, which then poured down like a torrential rain towards the spot where Li Wuji had fallen.

Each bolt of blood lightning contained world-destroying energy, twisting and deforming space wherever it passed, emitting crackling explosive sounds that made one's heart tremble with fear.

After an unknown period, the raging lightning gradually subsided, and the Dragon Horned Crocodile King, unable to maintain its current state, transformed back into its original form and floated in the air.

"Hahahahaha, a human who doesn't know death dares to offend this King's territory..."

The Dragon Horned Crocodile King's laughter echoed throughout the heavens and earth, but just then, its laughter suddenly stopped, because amidst the rolling dust and smoke, a figure could faintly be seen standing up.

"How is that possible!"

The Dragon Horned Crocodile King let out an angry roar, and as the wind surged, the dust and smoke below were blown away.

When the Dragon Horned Crocodile King saw clearly what was below, its massive pupils contracted sharply. On the scarred ground, which had been lowered by more than ten meters, a figure stood proudly.

Although the figure was severely damaged, both arms and one leg had turned to ash, and its chest was torn open, revealing what might be a bloody mess inside.

Especially at the neck, the head was almost detached, connected only by a thread of flesh.

If it were anyone else who suffered such severe injuries, they would have likely died on the spot. But surprisingly, Li Wuji did not die immediately.

A faint smile still hung on his disfigured face, and his eyes calmly looked at the Dragon Horned Crocodile King in the sky.

"You haven't killed me yet!"

Just as the words fell, something surprising happened—his body began to slowly recover its vitality.

The body, which had been so severely injured as to be unrecognizable, was now gradually repairing itself at a speed visible to the naked eye.

First, the nervous System began to reconnect, then the bones made cracking sounds as broken bones re-healed, and finally, flesh and blood grew out little by little, filling the hideous wounds.

In just a few breaths, he no longer looked as terrifying as before, but was gradually recovering into a complete person.

While recovering his body, Li Wuji stared intently at the Dragon Horned Crocodile King before him.

In fact, he knew in his heart that his rapid recovery was not only due to his strong Physical Body but also the use of Gu worms to stimulate his body and aid recovery.

However, if such a severe injury were to happen a second time, this Clone of his would undoubtedly be destroyed.

Moreover, during the intense battle with the Dragon Horned Crocodile King, he had already sensed many prying eyes from the depths of the Nether Blood Sea.

Those gazes were filled with greed and longing, as if they wanted to devour him, so even in this state, he could not show the slightest fatigue.

Furthermore, what was puzzling was that despite their covetousness towards this place, none of them dared to approach.

Clearly, there must be some kind of restriction or fear that prevented those fellows from acting rashly.

And the Dragon Horned Crocodile King in front of him, as the overlord of this area, must know the reason behind it.

"As I said last time, how about we cooperate to deal with the Cursed Evil Mosquito?"

In the air, watching Li Wuji, who had recovered significantly, the Dragon Horned Crocodile King did not attack again, because even now, it was not confident it could keep him here.

"No how. Get out of this King's territory quickly, otherwise this King doesn't mind killing you again!"

The Dragon Horned Crocodile King's voice boomed like thunder between heaven and earth, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

Its golden pupils flickered with unquestionable majesty, and its massive body circled in the air, as if ready to launch a fatal blow at any moment.

Li Wuji sighed upon hearing this. He knew it wouldn't be that easy to persuade the Dragon Horned Crocodile King before him.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore. Farewell!"

Without saying anything further, he turned and left. There was more than just this one place on the periphery of the Nether Blood Sea.

With his current strength, dealing with slightly weaker Forbidden Land Creatures was more than enough. When his strength increased further, taking down this Dragon Horned Crocodile King would still be more than enough.

However, just as Li Wuji left the Scarlet Swamp, he noticed something unusual. He immediately raised his hand and a smiling mask appeared on his face.

"Interesting, there are people here too, but they don't seem to be from Great Xia!"

Thinking this, his figure flickered and he quickly flew towards the direction he sensed. He was somewhat curious about the purpose of those people.

On the other side of the Nether Blood Sea, a team of over a hundred people was fighting fiercely against the tidal wave of fearless Forbidden Land Creatures that surged towards them.

Although these Forbidden Land Creatures were numerous and their strength was not bad, they still couldn't stir up any trouble in front of these people.

Clearly, this group was well-prepared. Almost everyone in the team only attacked when the Forbidden Land Creatures approached within a hundred meters.

This not only ensured safety but also avoided attracting more Forbidden Land Creatures.

They fought and advanced, moving quickly and steadily, and had not lost a single person so far.

When Li Wuji arrived, he happened to see this scene. Looking at the few people at the front of the team, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Interesting, they are led by Martial Lord Peak experts. What are they doing?"

Watching the gradually departing team, Li Wuji's figure shifted, transforming directly into a thumb-sized Gu worm and flying over, silently landing among the hair of one of the women.

"Hmm?"

As soon as Li Wuji landed, he felt that the strange oppressive force had disappeared, seemingly blocked by some peculiar power.

His gaze naturally followed downwards, and he immediately saw two snow-white, majestic peaks.

"They are truly steep~"

This sight made him pause, but he immediately focused his attention between the woman's twin peaks.

There was a crystal-clear object, like a gem, there. It was this thing that enveloped the person, preventing her from being suppressed.

Li Wuji checked the others and found that everyone had one. "No wonder they dared to enter the Nether Blood Sea like this, but what are you here for?"
