After a moment, the black stone platform carrying the group entered the thundercloud.
The rumbling of thunder was deafening, and several thick lightning bolts immediately struck, all hitting the array shield on the platform. There was a burst of ear-piercing explosions, but fortunately, they were just ordinary lightning, and the array light curtain was enough to resist.
At the same time, the rain was pattering down, and it was raining heavily in this thundercloud. Everyone felt like they were in a storm.
"Control the array disk to fly towards the northwest. The Tianxin Stone(天心石: Skyheart Stone) is probably a hundred miles away." Jiang Hao watched the situation outside and looked at the Myriad Disk in his hand, guiding everyone's direction.
Under the control of several Foundation Establishment disciples, the black stone platform suddenly accelerated a lot, and flew more than ten miles in the blink of an eye. Everyone shuttled through the thunderclouds, vigilant about their surroundings.
Suddenly, Zhang Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he saw a figure hidden in the clouds not far away. He immediately reminded, "There is something going on over there, fellow Daoists."
Jiang Hao and Su Yu'er also quickly glanced in the direction he was looking, their expressions also changed slightly, and they took out their magic weapons to prepare for battle.
Zhang Ling was the first to attack, releasing a flying sword towards that side.
Wherever the sword light passed, the dark clouds in front were immediately split open. Behind the layers of dark clouds was a black wind mass of several feet in size, rapidly approaching them.
It was only a few dozen feet away from them.
The flying sword turned into a blue light and slashed on it, but there was a clanging sound, as if it had struck something hard.
The flying sword then transformed into a piece of sword light. Under the rapid stirring, the black wind was scattered. As the wind mass dissipated, a figure inside was revealed.
Upon closer inspection, this figure had disheveled hair and could not see his face clearly. His whole body was purplish-black, and his limbs were twisted strangely. He looked like a human cultivator, but his whole body was twisting so strangely, which was extremely strange.
A strange '咯咯' sound came from his mouth. The monster flashed and instantly crossed a distance of several feet and rushed over.
Seeing this monster, Zhang Ling showed a strange expression, mobilized his spiritual power, and controlled the flying sword to once again turn into a blue light and slashed away. Then there was another crisp clanging sound.
The humanoid creature moved as fast as the wind, and its hands and feet danced extremely flexibly, bursting out with sharp claw awns, like countless wind blades, and for a time actually resisted the flying sword attack.
Zhang Ling flicked his sleeves expressionlessly, and two more flying swords shot out. Under the siege of the three flying swords, this humanoid creature was immediately at a disadvantage.
After a while, the three flying swords condensed into a sword light, and with one blow, they chopped off the humanoid creature's head. At the same time, he flicked his arm, and two vines entangled out, pulling the humanoid creature's body over.
"Huh, although this monster is humanoid, its whole body is mixed with spiritual energy and turbid qi. It seems to be a humanoid desolate beast. This is the first time I've seen one."
"Hehe, that's right, it is indeed a humanoid desolate beast. Jiang met a few of these monsters in an ancient cultivation ruin when he was wandering in the deserted area. It is indeed our human race that has been eroded by turbid qi and lost their minds and turned into desolate beasts. They are the same as those monster beasts transformed into desolate beasts. They are more inclined to instinct and have no intelligence."
"However, this kind of humanoid desolate beast is rare. I didn't expect to encounter one in this thundercloud."
Jiang Hao and Su Yu'er also came to the side, both looking at this humanoid desolate beast with curiosity. Zhang Ling also looked at this humanoid desolate beast that he had beheaded. It was also the first time he had seen this kind of desolate beast.
This humanoid desolate beast was covered with thick black hair, more like a black-haired monkey. Its hands and feet were covered with thick calluses, and there were inch-long black nails.
But you can still see some tattered clothes hanging on it, which proves that it is indeed a human cultivator. The spiritual pressure it exudes is not weak, about the level of a fifth-order desolate beast.
Except for the ancient times when turbid qi began to run rampant, and a large number of humanoid desolate beasts appeared, with the passage of time, even if there was an outbreak of turbid qi and a beast tide attack in the past thousands of years, generally only low-level cultivators and mortals would be transformed into desolate beasts.
High-level cultivators, with their own spiritual power, can resist for a period of time even in areas with high concentrations of turbid qi. Moreover, there is also the Tianxin Stone(天心石: Skyheart Stone), a spiritual mine that can be carried on the body to reduce the harm of turbid qi.
So the probability of high-level cultivators being transformed into desolate beasts is already rare.
The three of them discussed this humanoid desolate beast for a while, and then each returned to their original positions. While paying attention to the situation outside, they flew again to the place where the Tianxin Stone(天心石: Skyheart Stone) was reacting.
Zhang Ling also collected the body of the humanoid desolate beast. In the thundercloud, everyone's spiritual consciousness was affected to a certain extent.
After all, the thunder attribute spiritual power in this thundercloud is violent. Fortunately, there are three Golden Core cultivators who are always paying attention to the situation outside. In the next half an hour, they did not encounter any other dangers.
Before long, they flew into the depths of the thundercloud.
The heavy dark clouds around were as black as ink, making people extremely depressed. But the flow speed of the dark clouds here slowed down a lot, and it was no longer the kind of stormy situation. Even the lightning in the clouds seemed to be much less.
I didn't expect the clouds and mist in the depths of the thundercloud to be so calm. Zhang Ling thought to himself, feeling that this thundercloud was a bit unusual. But he released most of his spiritual consciousness and continued to scan around, but found nothing unusual.
So they flew forward for a while in peace, and everyone heard a dull collision sound. A chaotic rock belt that was slowly rotating appeared several miles ahead.
This kind of special situation formed by the chaotic rocks rolled up by the clouds and mist is quite common in the Flowing Cloud Sea. Jiang Hao stopped the black stone platform at the periphery of the chaotic rock belt.
"It's in front. There is a Tianxin Stone(天心石: Skyheart Stone) hidden in this chaotic rock area. Brother Zhang, Junior Sister Su, please wait here for a moment. I will collect the Tianxin Stone(天心石: Skyheart Stone)." After Jiang Hao instructed, he directly transformed into a blue light and flew into the chaotic rock area, looking for the Tianxin Stone(天心石: Skyheart Stone).
Zhang Ling and the two were still standing in place, vigilant about the surrounding situation.
This is how they have been looking for Tianxin Stones(天心石: Skyheart Stones) for the past ten days. Jiang Hao has the Myriad Disk in his hand to sense Tianxin Stones(天心石: Skyheart Stones), which is the most convenient to find.
Looking at the flowing rocks in front, the covered area is not small, at least tens of miles. From time to time, some rocks would collide with each other, making a muffled bang.
Suddenly, Zhang Ling threw out a vine again, instantly wrapping a black boulder about ten feet in size, dragging the boulder over, and squinting to check it.
This black stone looks extremely ordinary, and there is no spiritual power on it, but he just inadvertently explored inside with his spiritual sense and found that there seemed to be a strange thing inside.
