This eighth-order Green Bird was, in a way, attracted by him. Half an hour ago, he passed by a cliff and discovered a four-grade spirit herb, a White Jade Ganoderma, with a thousand years of medicinal age.
Unexpectedly, he provoked this Green Bird just after picking the Ganoderma. He even had a fierce battle with this Green Bird. Although the Black Turtle was a transformed demon cultivator, the ancient beast in front of him, the Green Bird, was extremely fast due to its wind attribute. After a fierce battle, he didn't gain any advantage.
Fighting with ancient beasts of this strength would definitely take a long time. However, this Green Bird was chasing relentlessly, and the Black Turtle was not known for its speed, so it was difficult to escape for a while.
He happened to discover this group of black-haired demon apes in this mountain forest, so he led the Green Bird here, resulting in the current scene of the giant apes fighting the Green Bird.
Now was the time to strike. Taking advantage of the Green Bird being distracted by the demon apes, he might be able to directly kill the Green Bird. The Black Turtle moved forward while quietly circulating the spiritual power in his body, preparing for a sneak attack at any moment.
He didn't dare to expose too much of his aura, to prevent being discovered by the Green Bird. He had spent a lot of time just now to hide his own aura. As for the Illusion Mud and Spirit Concealing Gauze, they were all with the main soul.
At this moment, the fight between the two sides became more intense. A clear cry came, and the Green Bird waved its wings, forming two huge wind balls. Like tornadoes, they collided quickly and exploded into a large area of azure wind blades.
A large number of demon apes died in the wind blades, including two sixth-order demon apes. An angry roar came from the tall white ape.
The white ape was the leader of the ape group. Seeing the number of his subordinates decreasing, he became extremely furious. A surge of violent blood energy emanated from him.
The white ape's originally tall body grew even taller, and strangely, the white fur all over its body oozed a layer of blood-colored spiritual light from the inside.
In the blink of an eye, the white ape turned into a blood ape, its aura doubled, its eyes turned blood red, and with a leap, it turned into a blood-colored shadow, jumping directly from the ground and instantly leaping to a hundred zhang high.
The giant ape's blood-colored spiritual power condensed into a blood-colored beam of light in its mouth. With a loud bang, it hit the Green Bird with an earth-shattering momentum.
Originally, with the strength of the eighth-order Green Bird, it would not be difficult to avoid this attack. The Green Bird did not seem to expect this attack and was caught off guard by the blood light. It was knocked back a long distance by the blood light and crashed into the cliff not far away before stopping.
The mountain collapsed, raising a large cloud of dust, and the Green Bird was buried in the mountain wall.
At the same time, the transformed blood ape frantically waved the black long stick in its claws, and a shadow of the stick slammed into the mountain wall.
Boom, boom, boom, several loud noises continued to sound, and most of the cliff collapsed.
In the blink of an eye, the situation reversed, and the lurking Black Turtle also re-examined the white ape in surprise.
This white ape was not an ordinary demon beast. Not only was its intelligence not weak, but it could also use this kind of supernatural power to greatly increase its strength suddenly. It would be no problem to deal with two or three demon cultivators of the same rank.
But its enemy at the moment was a Green Bird that was a level higher.
Sure enough, the next moment, an angry cry came from the collapsed cliff. The sound was extremely sharp and piercing, giving a stinging sensation in the ears.
The cliff suddenly stirred up a gust of wind, which quickly swept away the smoke formed by the collapse of the mountain wall. A flash of green light directly hit the white ape.
Immediately, the white ape screamed and flew backwards, scattering a large amount of blood. Then, the clear light dragged the white ape's body up to a thousand zhang in the air. Finally, it directly passed through the white ape's body, exploding a large amount of blood.
The Black Turtle saw this scene and knew that this seventh-order peak white ape was doomed.
The green light in the high sky transformed back into the Green Bird. The bird did not seem to give up and quickly fanned its wings, directly throwing the white ape down.
A moment later, the entire ground made a loud bang, and the white ape's body smashed a huge pit in the ground. The Green Bird followed closely, turning into a cyan tornado and directly crushed the white ape into a blood mist.
The Green Bird's two iron claws under its abdomen grabbed the white ape's broken head from the big pit, and a pair of bird eyes swept across the black-haired giant apes that were still besieging it before, raising its proud head and making excited chirping sounds.
It sounded loud and melodious, but it fell into the ears of the ape group like the sound of death.
Immediately, the demon ape group was in chaos and lost their fighting spirit. The demon apes lost their leader and trembled in the face of the powerful Green Bird, screaming and fleeing frantically.
The Green Bird let out a long cry, as if declaring its own strength. A cold light flashed in its eyes, and it excitedly chased after the fleeing giant apes.
The group of big monkeys dared to besiege him, so he would naturally not let go of these prey. He would crush the heads of these big monkeys one by one.
But at this moment, an unexpected event occurred.
The Green Bird couldn't help but feel a chill and inexplicably felt a crisis. But its intelligence was not high, and it didn't understand why.
Suddenly, a flash of black light appeared in front of him, and a figure appeared in front of him, holding a gray-white Ganoderma the size of a millstone, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance.
Seeing this figure and the Ganoderma.
The Green Bird remembered the person he had chased not long ago, and a cold light appeared in his eyes. His speed suddenly increased, and he grabbed straight at the figure. This figure was none other than the Black Turtle.
The Black Turtle did not dodge or avoid. Seeing that the Green Bird was about to grab him, he suddenly threw away the gray-white Ganoderma in his hand.
The Green Bird hesitated when it saw the Ganoderma being thrown away, and changed direction to grab the Ganoderma. He had guarded this Ganoderma for a long time.
The Green Bird instantly grabbed the gray-white Ganoderma. But before it could be happy, the Ganoderma exploded with a loud bang, turning into a large area of powder.
The outermost circle of powder was gray-white and unremarkable, but a black mist floated inside. The Green Bird was instantly wrapped in the black mist.
At the same time, the Black Turtle's figure twisted strangely and turned into a spinning black mist, merging into it.
The entire black mist erupted with an extremely cold force, quickly rotating into a huge vortex, and the Green Bird in it let out a shrill cry, as if it had suffered some serious injury.
The black vortex then turned into a rotating black ice, directly sealing the Green Bird inside.
However, the frozen Green Bird did not die. Its body flashed with green light, and it burst out with a burst of astral wind, shattering the black ice into countless pieces.
A large number of wind blades swept in all directions. The Green Bird broke free and turned into a clear light again between the flapping of its wings, soaring into the sky. It seemed that these attacks did not cause any damage to the Green Bird.
However, at the same time, a thunderous sound came from behind.
The Black Turtle's main body appeared behind the Green Bird, and an ancient stone mirror rotating between his hands lit up with a dark blue thunder light. A thick blue arc of lightning shot out and hit the soaring Green Bird.
The lightning directly blasted a bloody hole in one of the Green Bird's wings. The Green Bird wailed, and its moving speed immediately decreased by more than half.
At the same time, a cloud of black ice mist rose again, wrapping the Green Bird in it again. The beast naturally felt the crisis of life and struggled frantically, and its whole body turned into a huge wind ball.
But the ice mist that trapped it condensed into several layers of black ice, completely trapping it to death.
Finally, a black light descended from the sky, and a strange two-headed snake suddenly appeared, biting the Green Bird's neck in an instant.
The two-headed snake shook and turned into a bronze long halberd, directly nailing the Green Bird to the ground. With a quick stroke, the Green Bird's neck was cut in two, losing its vitality.
The Black Turtle landed next to the Green Bird's corpse. With a wave of his hand, a black hand condensed with spiritual power wrapped the Green Bird's corpse. He activated the magic in his hand and directly pulled out a miniature Green Bird phantom from the Green Bird's head. It was the demon soul of this bird.
A dark black jade bottle floated next to the bird's head and directly sucked the Green Bird's demon soul into it.
At the same time, with a thought, the bronze long halberd skillfully cut a wound on the bird's head and took out a fist-sized, bright green bead from it.
The Black Turtle then smiled, took out a jade box, and sealed the eighth-order demon core. The value of an eighth-order demon core was not low, especially since it was a wind-attribute demon core, which was an even rarer treasure.
He glanced at the Green Bird's corpse. The Black Turtle specifically took out a storage bag from his arms and completely put the corpse into it.
The Green Bird's demon core, demon spirit, and the materials all over its body were rare materials. This beast's escape technique was very fast, and it would not be possible to solve it so easily in a head-on battle.
The phantom that appeared in front of the Green Bird just now was a high-level water-attribute magic. It would be a bit difficult to confuse cultivators of the same rank.
But the success rate of confusing an ancient beast with low intelligence was very high. Moreover, the gray-white Ganoderma that the phantom was holding in its hand was naturally fake.
The outermost layer was indeed the powder of White Jade Ganoderma, and a ball of Ice Soul Poison was hidden inside. This was what confused the Green Bird.
After being sealed by the ice mist transformed by the Ice Soul Poison, although the Green Bird broke free in an instant, a lot of cold poison had been contaminated on its body, greatly reducing its speed.
With another Water Astral Divine Thunder striking through the Green Bird's wings, greatly reducing the bird's escape speed, killing it was much easier.
After that, the Black Turtle cleaned up the battlefield and harvested more than a dozen giant ape corpses, all high-level demon beast corpses of the fifth and sixth ranks.
There was also the white ape's head. The body of this beast turned into a blood mist, but the head was still intact. In it, he found a top-quality seventh-order demon core.
This demon core was also not ordinary, containing more than half of the spiritual power contained in an ordinary seventh-order demon core. At the same time, the black long stick that the white ape was holding before was naturally not let go.
The stick looked like an iron stick, but after careful identification, it was found that it was not made of spirit ore or other materials.
It was a Black Iron Spirit Wood, which was extremely hard. The years of growth to reach this thickness were not low. It would take at least two or three thousand years for a Black Iron Wood to grow out.
After sorting out the harvest, the Black Turtle did not stay any longer and left the place. Speaking of which, provoking this Green Bird had already delayed a lot of time, and he had to speed up his progress.
On the other hand, Zhang Ling, relying on the Spirit Concealing Gauze and Illusion Mud on his body, did not spend much time to avoid the awakened Giant Spirit Insect. He had already flown out of the island in Green Cloud Valley.
On the way, Zhang Ling suddenly smiled. He had just contacted the second soul and immediately knew that the Black Turtle had solved a Green Bird with not weak strength, and the harvest was not small.
This was naturally a happy thing.
However, this made him have some vigilance. It had been several days since he separated from the second soul. After leaving here, he must assimilate again, so as not to let the second soul's autonomous consciousness be too high, producing inner demons and resisting himself.
Zhang Ling was thinking while flying, and soon after, he noticed that another giant island appeared in front of him.
The island was even larger than the Green Cloud Valley he had just flown away from. From a distance, he could see a mountain range on it, like a piece of land.
Zhang Ling took out the map jade slip he had sorted out and identified it, and flew towards it without hesitation.
It was indeed a super island, covering an area of ten thousand miles. The location of Blackwater Pool and Qionghua Mountain was on this island, just on the other end.
At most two or three more hours, and he would be able to reach there. The journey had been safe and sound. As long as he didn't break into some special areas, he would definitely be able to reach there safely.
Zhang Ling was calculating the approaching distance when his expression suddenly changed. He quickly stopped the escape light, stood motionless in the high sky, and hid himself.
A moment later, he saw two escape lights flying out from a location on the island in front of him and flying towards the distance. The two escape lights were extremely fast, and they were obviously the escape lights of Nascent Soul cultivators.
Although they were some distance away, Zhang Ling immediately recognized the figures in the escape light. One of the escape lights had three people. It was actually the formation master Old Man Wan and his two disciples.
The other golden escape light was the female cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul wearing a gold and silver mask.
It's a bit strange, the direction they are flying in does not seem to be Blackwater Pool.
Zhang Ling frowned slightly. This Old Man Wan was a formation master invited by Jin Yu, and he should be rushing to Blackwater Pool to meet Jin Yu. Looking at the direction they were leaving in, it was definitely not going to Blackwater Pool. Could it be that these people have other plans?
Should I follow them to take a look?
After thinking for a while, he shook his head. No matter what plans Old Man Wan and the masked female cultivator have, it has nothing to do with him.
His goal in entering this place was to solve the problem with Ding Ruozhao. It was best not to interfere in other people's affairs.
With a thought, Zhang Ling passed the message to the Black Turtle as well. He also asked the Black Turtle to be wary of these two people. After the two escape lights moved five or sixty miles away, he continued to move forward.
What Zhang Ling did not notice was that after the two escape lights flew for a while, the mysterious female cultivator's escape speed suddenly slowed down a lot, and she glanced far away in the direction he had just been in.
"What's wrong, Elder, did you discover that person's trace?"
Old Man Wan was quite shrewd and instantly saw that the masked female cultivator's expression was different, and asked a question.
