Fairy, you're going to suffer a lot if I catch you?
Lan Caier had been observing his expression, and saw his brows furrow into a knot.
"Master, are you looking for some Spirit Medicine?"
Lin Yuan nodded, "netherworld grass."
Lan Caier's heart stirred: "I do know of a hidden place."
"There's a very high possibility that this kind of Spiritual Plant grows there."
"However..."
She changed the subject.
"That place requires us to go deeper into Demon Falling Valley."
Lin Yuan was already heading deeper into Demon Falling Valley to pick the yang returning lotus seeds for Qing Tan.
If he could get netherworld grass along the way, that would naturally be even better.
Lan Caier had already been imprinted with the God-Sealing Technique by him.
That Restriction was tightly linked to her Divine Soul Origin.
Even if a Golden Core Stage Cultivator tried to forcibly erase it, there would be a certain chance of causing Divine Soul damage.
Therefore, he wasn't afraid that this woman would try any tricks in this matter.
"Do you have a map?"
Even though he had a plan, Lin Yuan still maintained sufficient caution and asked.
Lan Caier didn't hesitate at all, immediately took out a Jade Slip, and offered it with both hands.
"This is a map explored by the lives of generations of Seniors from our Five Poisons Sect."
Lin Yuan took the Jade Slip, and a wisp of Divine Sense probed into it.
Instantly, an incredibly detailed and massive map unfolded in his mind.
This map almost encompassed all areas of the entire outer circle of Demon Falling Valley.
Where certain grades of Spirit Medicine were once picked, where fierce Yao Beasts lurked, where the dead ends were, and where there was vitality were all marked extremely clearly.
He quickly found the area Lan Caier mentioned where netherworld grass might grow.
That location was not far from the route he needed to take to find the yang returning lotus.
If he went to pick the netherworld grass first, he would only need to spend a little more effort to return smoothly to his original route.
"Then let's rest for two days. Recover our condition, and then set off."
"Yes, Master."
...Two days passed in a flash.
The residual poison on Xue Linglong was completely cleared, and her aura returned to its Peak.
Lin Yuan and Lan Caier naturally weren't idle for these two days either.
As soon as Lin Yuan's physical strength recovered even slightly, he would immediately pull her into face-to-face arduous cultivation.
Although it was hard work, thirty attribute points at a time could not be wasted.
Then the three of them transformed into three streaks of light, flying deeper into Demon Falling Valley.
There was no conversation along the way, and after about half a day of rapid travel, Lan Caier, who was flying at the very front, suddenly paused and abruptly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan's voice carried a hint of vigilance.
"My Bone-Corroding Fire Poison Worms are warning me, they are afraid! This means there is a deadly danger ahead that makes them fearful!"
As soon as she finished speaking.
A scalp-numbing "buzzing" sound approached from afar, becoming clearer and clearer!
"Oh no! It's the Bone-Corroding Demon Worms!"
Lan Caier's face suddenly changed dramatically, and her voice was filled with terror.
Her own Bone-Corroding Fire Poison Worms were already extremely formidable venomous creatures, unafraid of water or fire, with bodies harder than fine steel.
But her poison worms were merely a variant born after countless generations of weakening from the true Bone-Corroding Demon Worms, which is why they could be tamed and controlled by humans.
And these wild Bone-Corroding Demon Worms were terrifying native existences in Demon Falling Valley.
Their bodies were indestructible, they contained potent venom, devoured everything, and wherever they passed, not a blade of grass grew!
In Demon Falling Valley, encountering such things left no option but to flee!
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Immediately after, a disheveled female figure flew out from the distant poisonous mist, and behind her was a vast, dark swarm of insects, covering the sky and obscuring the sun.
Seeing Lin Yuan and the two others, a hint of joy flashed across the woman's panic-stricken face.
Without the slightest hesitation, she instead pushed her spiritual power to the limit, accelerating like a sharp arrow, shooting straight towards them!
Clearly, this woman intended to divert the disaster to the east, using the three of them as scapegoats!
As the woman continuously approached, Lin Yuan's gaze slightly narrowed, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
He happened to know this woman; she was Su Qinghan of the Misty Immortal Sect.
Su Qinghan's speed was incredibly fast, like a fleeting shadow, instantly flying over the heads of the three.
The terrifying black curtain behind her also let out a thunderous hum, covering down upon the three!
"Go!"
Lin Yuan let out a low shout.
In an instant, three streaks of escaping light of different colors fled desperately in three different directions.
However, the number of Bone-Corroding Demon Worms was simply too great.
Among them, a large, most concentrated swarm of insects seemed to have smelled the fragrance of flesh and blood, locked onto Lin Yuan, and followed him closely, relentlessly.
"Slash!"
While flying rapidly, Lin Yuan's thoughts raced, controlling his frost sword to unleash streaks of cold sword light behind him, fiercely slashing at the black swarm of insects.
Clang, clang, clang!
A burst of clashing metal sounds exploded, and the Demonic Worms swept by the sword light were immediately sent flying by the immense force.
But on their carapaces, there was only a white mark, not even a trace of damage.
Instead, this attack completely stimulated their ferocity, and their pursuit speed became even faster!
Lin Yuan's eyes turned cold, and the Earth Core Nether Fire surged out, transforming into a wall of fire.
Those Demonic Worms fearlessly crashed into the wall of fire, and black flames immediately ignited on their bodies, emitting a "crackle crackle" sound as they fell from the sky like rain.
However, Lin Yuan didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Demonic Worms that had fallen to the ground merely rolled for a moment before flipping over, flapping their wings again, and the scorched marks on their carapaces quickly faded, resuming their frantic pursuit.
"So troublesome!"
Lin Yuan's heart sank; the vitality of these things completely exceeded his imagination.
Thus, he was chased for a full quarter of an hour.
He darted left and right, constantly changing direction, his spiritual power rapidly depleting, yet he still couldn't shake off the Demonic Worms behind him.
"I must find a way to shake off these bugs! If this continues, my magic power will be exhausted..."
As Lin Yuan was thinking, two figures appeared in the poisonous mist ahead.
One of them looked about fifty or sixty years old, with white hair and beard, his aura chaotic, leaning against the stone wall, panting heavily.
The other person was tall and graceful, her face somewhat disheveled but still exquisite; it was Su Qinghan, who had drawn the swarm of insects.
Seeing the two of them looking as if they had just survived a disaster, panting like oxen, they had clearly used some secret technique to temporarily escape the pursuit of the insect swarm.
Since Su Qinghan dared to lure the poisonous worms to him, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn't be polite to her!
And upon seeing Lin Yuan approaching with a vast, dark swarm of insects, Su Qinghan's recently eased complexion instantly turned pale, and endless fear appeared in her eyes as she shrieked at the old man beside her.
"Alchemist Wang, hurry and leave!"
As she spoke, she frantically conjured a Magical Artifact and shot towards the distance.
In fact, she didn't need to say it; the old man was already scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, releasing his flying Magical Artifact to fly to the side.
But Lin Yuan was faster, already close, and with a flicker of his figure, he lightly intercepted them like a ghost.
"Ah...!"
The old man was half a beat too slow and was instantly completely enveloped by the Demonic Worms!
His protective spiritual light shattered instantly like paper! The shrill scream lasted only half a breath before abruptly stopping; where the insect swarm surged, flesh and bones were gnawed away in a few breaths, leaving not even a Magical Robe behind.
Lin Yuan didn't even look, chasing directly after the pale-faced Su Qinghan.
"You...who exactly are you! How dare you harm our Misty Immortal Sect's Alchemist!" Seeing Lin Yuan relentlessly pursue her, Su Qinghan was both shocked and enraged, sharply crying out.
The current Lin Yuan naturally still maintained the appearance he had on the senluo bone boat, so it was normal that Su Qinghan didn't recognize him.
"You ask who I am after you led these Demonic Worms to me!" Lin Yuan's voice was like the netherworld's cold ice.
"Then...then that's just your own incompetence! I advise you to scram immediately, if you keep following me, don't blame me for being impolite!" Su Qinghan threatened, her voice betraying her inner weakness.
Lin Yuan's lips curved into a sneering arc, his gaze sweeping over her pale lips and slightly unstable aura.
"Fairy, I see you've used a secret technique to shake off the insect swarm, and now you have little spiritual power left. You must have suffered a serious internal injury, right? Still trying to bluff me?"
"If I catch you, you'll suffer greatly!" Lin Yuan said playfully.
