As Liu Ming went deeper into the canyon, the surrounding demonic qi became more and more intense, and lush vegetation began to appear on the originally barren ground.
It might be due to the contamination by demonic qi. Most of the rocks and vegetation here were also gray-black.
After Liu Ming flew continuously for 3 hours, he gradually slowed down his speed. This place was already considered the depth of Dong Lu Mountain Range, and the demonic qi here was 3 times thicker than the outside.
In addition, some demonic beasts in different shapes began to appear frequently in the valley.
These demonic beasts looked similar to ordinary beastkin, except that they more or less had demonic patterns on their bodies.
In terms of individual strength alone, the demonic beasts far surpassed ordinary beastkins of the same level, but most of the demonic beasts Liu Ming encountered were low-level beasts, and their intelligence seemed to be much lower than the beastkins he had seen before. Even though he exuded a pressure far exceeding the Real Pellet State, those demonic beasts still rushed over fearlessly. Naturally, Liu Ming beheaded all of them.
Under several mountain peaks covered with black bamboo, Liu Ming’s escape light stopped. He looked under a mountain peak with a frown, then he flew over.
After clearing a batch of black bamboos, a hidden cave entrance was revealed under the mountain peak.
If it wasn’t for a faint wisp of strange demonic qi drifting out of the cave entrance, he wouldn’t be able to find this place at all.
Immediately, Liu Ming released his Divine Thoughts to scan the situation in the cave. He was slightly startled, and let out a soft sigh.
The space inside the cave was not small despite its narrow entrance. It appeared as if something had dug out an underground tunnel, leading to the depths of the ground.
There was also a cluster of dense black demonic qi deep underground.
Various indications pointed out that this place should be a demonic beast lair. Liu Ming noticed that the depths of the cave were the source of the strange demonic qi he sensed earlier.
Liu Ming pondered for a moment. As he chanted, a silver light flashed on his body, transforming the Beast Armor Tactic into a silver fleshy armor.
Speaking of which, Liu Ming had already reached the Celestial State during his adventure at the Savage Wild Continent. He poured spiritual power into the octopus beastkin without hesitation every day, letting it grow to adulthood. Not only did its skin color change from sky blue to dark blue, but the silver spirit patterns on its body shone brighter. Its aura had also reached the Crystallization Period. The protection of the beast armor was not inferior to other spiritual armor of the magic weapon level.
After doing this, Liu Ming continued to chant and activate Che Huan Totem. A layer of faint green light enveloped his body, concealing his aura. His existence seemed to be merged with the surrounding space.
Immediately afterward, Liu Ming flew into the cave.
The entrance of the cave was no more than one person tall. The cave wall was covered with black rocks that emitted a faint black fluorescence.
Liu Ming looked at the cave wall for a while. After continuing his journey for more than 30 meters, the cave suddenly took a turn and extended downward.
Liu Ming made a silent turn and flew downward.
The cave began to widen gradually from 3 meters to 6 meters. After Liu Ming flew down several hundred meters, the cave size had become 24 meters wide.
Liu Ming was almost at the bottom of the cave.
When Liu Ming landed on the ground, a strong demonic qi rushed toward his face. At the bottom of the gray and foggy cave, a black spring that kept bubbling appeared.
Traces of gray demonic qi emerged from the spring, which contained many pure black silks.
“True demonic qi!” Liu Ming’s eyes showed ecstasy. Although this black spring was only a small demonic source, the demonic qi revealed in it contained a lot of true demonic qi.
In other words, Liu Ming had encountered a rare true demonic source.
Suddenly, Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and disappeared in a blur.
Just as his figure barely disappeared, a red shadow pierced through the head of Liu Ming’s afterimage.
The speed of the shadow was as fast as lightning!
If Liu Ming’s reaction was a little slower, the red shadow might have pierced through his head already.
Not far away, Liu Ming emerged in a flash.
Liu Ming looked at the red shadow that was rapidly retracting. In the darkness, he could vaguely see a slender beast head. Its 2 eyes emitted a green light, staring at Liu Ming without blinking.
It was a lizard-like demonic beast the size of 9 meters. It had a pair of wings that were about 3 meters long. Judging from the aura it emitted, it had reached the Real Pellet State perfect stage. It was only one step away from the Celestial State.
Slurp!
The red shadow retracted into the mouth of the demonic beast. It appeared to be its tongue.
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the lizard demonic beast was a little surprised. It blinked its eyes and stretched its black wings. It flew silently and swiftly in the gray mist around Liu Ming.
Seeing this, Liu Ming smiled and closed his eyes without moving his body.
The lizard demonic beast had a hint of doubt. Suddenly, it stopped and spat out the red tongue again. The red tongue drew faint white marks in the air. Then, it waved its red tongue fanatically, forming a giant net that shrouded toward Liu Ming.
At the same time, the lizard demonic beast flapped its wings forward, sending over a gust of dense demonic qi. The qi transformed into palm-sized black wind blades around Liu Ming with a radius of 30 meters. This attack had seemingly sealed off all of Liu Ming’s escape routes.
The moment the red tongue net was about to touch Liu Ming’s forehead, Liu Ming suddenly opened his eyes. A black light flashed on his forehead, and the true demon imprint emerged. Liu Ming’s arms enlarged amidst a burst of crackling sound, then he turned into a purple shadow and plunged into the red tongue net.
A scream!
