The road is vague

Chapter 275 Dangerous
Seeing Li Mo's aggressive approach, the Saint Nest disciple had no choice but to fight back.

She tossed the giant honeycomb in her hand into the air, and as she flew backward to avoid the Tiancheng Huajin Sword, she pointed her hands towards the honeycomb while forming hand seals.

Stimulated by her spiritual light, the hive grew larger and larger, resembling a two-story building, emitting a buzzing sound. Countless huge poisonous bees flew out from it, swarming towards Li Mo in a dark mass.

Li Mo instinctively thought that it was a swarm of poisonous bees.

But when he observed them carefully with his spiritual eye, he discovered that these so-called poisonous bees were actually a group of black scorpions with wings. Each one was a foot long, covered in fine hairs, and had a poisonous tail that was surrounded by a visible, highly toxic aura. Their large pincers looked ferocious and terrifying.

Unlike the Thousand Insects Sect of Weiguo, which feeds insects with its own body, it regards the spiritual insects inside the body as a second life.

The Holy Nest faction, on the other hand, is passionate about collecting rare insects from all over the world.

The Holy Nest faction views insects as the foundation of the rules of heaven and earth. All birth, aging, sickness and death in the Mountain and Sea Realm are dominated by "insects" that are invisible to the naked eye. Insects are everywhere.

Li Mo took out his long-unused ice crystal feather fan and swung it fiercely at the surging swarm of insects. Rolling frost power surged forth, freezing a large group of poisonous scorpions into ice sculptures that fell to the ground, but even more poisonous scorpions continued to fly in.

Furthermore, the scorpions that fell to the ground had their frost on them melted quickly due to the poisonous gas, and they continued to chase after Li Mo.

Upon seeing this, Li Mo retreated while simultaneously forming hand seals and shouting.

"A grand funeral with thunder and fire."

A fiery cloud vortex formed in the sky, and rolling lightning struck down, instantly smashing the beehive. The nearby swarm of poisonous scorpions was also engulfed. However, it was observed that unless they were hit on the spot, even if they were blown away by the shockwave of the thunderstorm, they would quickly get up again and continue fighting.

Upon seeing this, Li Mo's expression turned slightly serious.

"Immune to water and fire?"

Just as he was briefly pondering whether to capture the leader first and kill the Saint Nest disciple, or summon the combined attack golem to kill the poisonous insects with the Yin Wind and Calamity Fire, he saw that the Saint Nest disciple had silently escaped again.

This startled him slightly, and he snorted inwardly.

This person is really slippery!
So he immediately used the Earth Escape Technique, his body silently disappearing into the ground. After avoiding the swarm of poisonous scorpions, he used his Spirit Eye Technique to search for clues left by the other party on the ground when they left, and quickly followed them.

For Li Mo, since he couldn't fly or use his divine sense here, his spiritual eye technique was virtually invincible.

He soon spotted the female cultivator who was fleeing.

He emerged silently from the ground, appearing more than ten feet behind the person. He pointed at her lightly, and a flash of dark golden light disappeared in an instant, quite reminiscent of the scene when he was assassinated by that poison cultivator disciple named Tong Yuan during the battle at Qinglong Pool.

Afterwards, when Li Mo became a true disciple, he tried to secretly investigate this person.

However, since the other party was under the orders of the Road Guiding Bureau, he was unable to obtain much information. He only knew that the other party's assassination skills were extraordinary. If the first attack failed, the other party would immediately retreat. The other party was the kind of person whose strength in direct combat was average, but whose assassination skills in secret had no limit.

After all, even for the vast majority of Golden Core cultivators, if they were assassinated in secret, their vitality would not be significantly improved compared to ordinary people, and they would likely be killed with a single blow.

With a brief metallic clang, the Tiancheng Huajin Sword was blocked by the silver inner armor. Only then did the Holy Nest Sect disciple realize that Li Mo had appeared out of nowhere and had appeared behind her without her noticing. She wanted to try to use other methods, but it was too late.

The Tiancheng Huajin Sword was indeed exceptionally sharp, and with the added enhancement of Li Mo's magical power, it forcefully pierced through the inner armor, passing right through his chest.

The female cultivator collapsed to the ground, a look of regret in her eyes.

"A top-grade magical weapon?"

Li Mo glanced at the female cultivator's inner armor, a hint of surprise on his face.

The other party was a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator who was still using a high-grade magic weapon, and seemed to be quite strapped for cash. However, the female cultivator could not answer his question. With a flash of spiritual light from the Heavenly Golden Sword, she immediately became a corpse.

Li Mo used his spiritual light to capture the two storage bags at her waist, and after briefly examining them, his expression immediately turned to astonishment.

"They're actually from the Miao region?"

The southern barbarian lands and the Miao region are adjacent to each other. One worships all kinds of mountain spirits and water monsters, while the other worships all kinds of highly poisonous insects.

Li Mo seemed to be lost in thought.

It seems that he was not the only one who disguised himself to participate in this Longevity and Enlightenment Conference; he had far underestimated the influence of the conference.

Without having time to carefully examine the four storage bags in his hands, he carefully put them away and then quickly turned around and hurried back to the direction where the female cultivator had just released the insect nest. At this moment, the nest was destroyed, and hundreds of poisonous scorpions were gathered together in a dark mass, forming a terrifying poisonous aura. All the nearby vegetation had withered.

"What a domineering poisonous insect."

After muttering to himself, Li Mo took out the Illusionary Gold Net.

This is a capture artifact specially crafted by Lu Qi to make up for the regret in his heart after losing the Divine Grass Doll. With this artifact, Li Mo, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, finally has a chance to capture the Divine Grass Doll.

Li Mo planned to test the waters with these venomous scorpions first.

These scorpions before him, having lost their master and their nest, could be used to create chaos if he used them properly, even though he couldn't command them.

It just so happens that he was carrying several one-time sealing magical artifacts from the Chen family.

These one-time sealing artifacts, while unable to forcibly seal, can seal creatures that have lost the ability to resist.

The golden net silently unfolded, and before anyone knew it, it had already exceeded a hundred feet in length, its area growing larger and larger until the net itself became almost transparent.

These scorpions showed absolutely no abnormalities.

Suddenly.

The golden net fell silently and tightened rapidly. Only when the foot-long scorpions were imprisoned did they finally notice something was wrong and struggle inside the net, but it was too late.

"Haha! No wonder Master speaks so highly of you!"

Li Mo looked excited and praised Huanjin.com highly.

This net was used to deal with poisonous insects that had no biting ability, as well as the Divine Grass Dolls that only had the ability to escape; it was a perfect example of one thing countering another. He then took out a sealing bottle and cast a spell, quickly collecting the poisonous scorpions trapped in the Illusionary Gold Net into the bottle.

Next, he only needs to throw the bottle to release the angry swarm of venomous scorpions inside, using it as a prop similar to a thunderbolt.

After finishing all this, Li Mo didn't delay any longer and immediately rushed over according to the instructions on his master Lu Qi's map.

According to the map, it would take at least a day to hike to the area where the Divine Grass Doll is located.

Fortunately, many years have passed, and he no longer needs to worry about competitors.

Three hours later.

Li Mo arrived at a relatively desolate area.

He looked at the large expanse of intact, pale white skeletons in the distance, some even still standing, and his expression immediately turned solemn, knowing that what lay ahead was likely another extremely dangerous area, like a cannibalistic forest.

However, the area was quite vast, and he didn't know whether to risk advancing or take a detour.

What danger is lurking here?

Li Mo carefully observed with his spiritual eye, but found nothing for the time being, and he dared not take any risks.

So he patiently decided to rest for a while before making a decision.

Take this opportunity.

He took out three maps: a public map of the area where the Heavenly Realm descended, a route map of the Divine Grass Doll given by Lu Qi, and a route map of the Rainbow Bird. After careful comparison, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the distance between the Divine Grass Doll and the Rainbow Bird was not too far, and he could arrive in about a day.

However, if we take a detour, the time will be a bit tight.

at this time.

Li Mo sensed something. He looked up and was surprised to find that a cultivator had also arrived here, seemingly intending to cross this dangerous area.

However, this person was clearly aware that the place was full of danger, and his body actually transformed into a huge carapace, exuding an indestructible defense, intending to rely on the characteristics of his technique to advance recklessly.

"They're actually disciples of the Xuanjia Sect?"

This person was actually from the Shang Kingdom, one of the four kingdoms of Lingdong.

In terms of defensive capabilities alone, the Xuanjia Sect's techniques surpass those of the Nilin Sect. Once activated, the techniques can condense a shell that is virtually indestructible, possessing unparalleled survivability and even some life-extending effects.

But at this moment.

Suddenly, a dense mass of black flying ants emerged from the ground, their numbers seemingly endless.

The Xuanjia Sect disciple looked horrified, but it was too late to change direction, and he was quickly overwhelmed by the ant swarm.

But this person was indeed a disciple of the Xuanjia Sect. Even surrounded by so many flying ants, he was still able to let out continuous screams, and it seemed that he would not die for a while.

Li Mo no longer hesitated.

Taking advantage of the fact that this person had diverted the ants' attention, he immediately rushed off in another direction at full speed.

"Fellow Daoist, save me! I am willing to reward you handsomely!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo actually sped up even more.

He was ready to activate the lightning crystal within his body at any time, just in case.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after rushing out of the desolate area and into the forest, and then looked back at what was behind him.

Those flying ants, which resembled a dark cloud, were long gone.

"Hmph, no matter how strong the defense is, it will probably only die after being eaten by so many flying ants."

Li Mo secretly felt lucky.

Heaven knows how many flying ants are hiding here. This place is probably more dangerous than the Cannibal Forest. There are no markings on Lu Qi's map. They are probably migrating from unknown areas over the years. This shows that this Realm of Seizing Heaven is constantly changing.

Another half day passed.

When Li Mo passed through a black mushroom forest, he unexpectedly encountered a ghost general at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

This ghost general was quite powerful, and since Li Mo was in a hurry to get on his way, he did not choose to get entangled with him. Instead, he took to the air and used the Soul-Binding Aurora in the secret realm to escape.

Compared to humans, these Soul-Binding Aurora Borealis are more effective at suppressing ghosts.

that's it.

After many hardships, Li Mo finally arrived at the area marked on Lu Qi's map where he discovered the Divine Grass Doll, after a whole day of travel.

He dared not advance rashly any further, constantly activating his spiritual eyes and looking around.

According to Lu Qi, the Divine Grass Doll is a naturally formless being that can enter the earth and escape into the wood. Once it takes form, it will inevitably bring disaster.

Its innate formlessness can be countered by Li Mo's Spirit Eye Technique.

It will enter the earth when it encounters soil, which can be countered by using the Illusionary Gold Net to hide underground in advance. It will escape when it encounters wood, which can be countered by using the Leaf Rock Fan to seal the surrounding vegetation in advance.

As for the trouble that will inevitably follow once the divine herb doll appears, it is mostly due to the malice of human nature. People fight each other to seize rare and precious materials, and when the divine herb doll escapes, they find that it was all for naught.
