340 Temporary Escape

It was noon, and the sun hung high in the sky.

Other than the dilapidated old temple on the island, the smoke-filled bluestone city and the thatched cottages built by the sea had all been reduced to ruins.

Between the broken walls, ferocious demonic beasts were wandering around, sniffing under the scorching sun.

The roars of the beasts continued to ring out, and it was extremely terrifying.

Dozens of ferocious demonic beasts that were emitting black energy were sleeping in it.

Some of them were in front of the door of their bedrooms, and some were in the corridor of their side bedrooms.

There were even some who were lying on the altar that was emitting a faint light, sticking to the bottomless round black hole, lying on the edge, and from time to time, they would let out a shocking snore.

A bright light suddenly appeared among the dozens of humongous ferocious magical beasts that had fallen into a deep sleep. It shot out from the bottomless circular black hole!

The light was swift and violent. In the span of a breath, it disappeared into the sky.

The magical beasts lying around the edge of the black hole were clearly awakened by this beam of light, and they leaped up from the altar.

It was a magical beast that was similar to a cheetah but the size of an elephant.

Its entire body was as black as ink, and the corners of its bloody mouth were cracked to the root of its ears. Two rows of inch-long fangs were exposed outside of its lips, and its entire body exuded a faint black aura.

Its blue pupils revealed a fierce light, and it let out a low growl as if it was demonstrating its strength. It looked around, looking for something that had awakened it.

However, that beam of light had long disappeared. Where could he find it?

In the end, the demonic beast found nothing. It shook its head in confusion and looked up at the sky.

He lay down on the edge of the black hole again, his eyes closed slightly, ready to continue sleeping.

Just as the demonic beast closed its eyes, the bottomless black hole suddenly emitted a green light.

Then, a green toad the size of a small hill came out of the black hole.

With its previous experience, this leopard-type magical beast was clearly much more intelligent.

As soon as the giant toad came out of the cave, it was instantly awakened and roared.

Its four strong limbs suddenly stomped on the ground, and it suddenly jumped up and pounced at the toad fiercely.

Wu Ji patriarch had come to chase Gu Mingzhou, but didn't expect to be targeted by a huge demonic beast the moment he came out of the cave. He immediately dodged in fear.

The leopard-type demonic beast was obviously even more furious after its attack was missed. It raised its head and roared at the Infinity, and the black energy became even thicker.

The roar of the leopard-type demonic beast woke up the other demonic beasts in the ancient temple.

Instantly, dozens of huge demonic beasts jumped over and surrounded the floating Wu Ji patriarch. They bared their teeth and looked ferocious.

The black energy that they emitted actually connected together in a strange way, forming a huge, ferocious beast-shaped figure in the sky. It looked like a dragon yet not a Dragon, like a bird yet not a bird. Its body was winding as it occupied the sky and looked down at the Infinity.

What? Wu Ji patriarch was shocked when he saw the terrifying beast's shadow above him.

He could feel the aura of death from the huge beast.

While Wu Ji patriarch was still in shock, the leopard-like demonic beast attacked him again.

The dozens of demonic beasts surrounding Wu Ji patriarch also swarmed forward. They leaped into the air and pounced fiercely as if they were walking on flat ground!

Wu Ji patriarch was shocked. He wasn't afraid of the demonic beasts, but he was wary of the giant beast above him. He didn't dare attack them directly.

He hurriedly leaped into the void again.

The beast shadow above his head gave him too much of a shock, and he did not dare to get close. He jumped into the gaps between the magical beasts that were pouncing on him.

Even though Wu Ji patriarch was now a teal-tyed Toad with the body of a small mountain, it was extremely agile, and it just happened to jump out of the gap between the beasts.

Wu Ji patriarch didn't stop at all after escaping the encirclement. His thick legs touched the ground, and he jumped up again. After a few jumps, he disappeared into the sky.

The shadows of the beasts in the sky made him feel uncomfortable, and he wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wouldn't stay for even a moment.

The leopard-type magical beast let out an unwilling roar as it watched the teal-eyed toad disappear.

Although it could leap, it was a beast after all. It couldn't fly, so it could only watch the Infinity leave.

It was obvious that it was extremely angry that the people who had disturbed its rest had escaped one after another, and it roared continuously.

At this moment, the several dozen magical beasts behind the leopard-type magical beast all turned their gazes to the black hole in the center of the altar.

The leopard-type demonic beast also noticed the abnormality and gave up on running away. It turned to look at the black hole.

The originally dull and unremarkable bottomless black hole suddenly burst out with a bright light.

Then, four figures flew out.

The leopard-type magical beast immediately let out a roar and pounced on the four figures without seeing their faces clearly.

The tens of demonic beasts that were watching the black hole's transformation all jumped up at the same time and pounced toward the four black shadows that had appeared.

The deafening roar pierced through the ancient temple and went straight to the nine Heavens!

A white light streaked across the clear sky!

The white light seemed to be unable to withstand the huge weight. Just as it was about to fly out of the island, it suddenly smashed into the beach at the edge of the island.

The sand flew and the sea retreated.

A moment later, the waves hit the shore.

In the waves, the dust and sand settled, and two figures stood on the shore, letting the waves hit their ankles.

Cough Gu Mingzhou coughed violently, his face flushed red.

Are you alright? Jing Wudao hurriedly asked in concern.

I'm fine. We've escaped, right? Gu Mingzhou quickly waved his hand and smiled.

He raised his head and looked around to confirm the situation.

Just like what Old Zhao said, the instant talisman can still be used even in a cave with restrictions. Jing Wudao nodded.

Even spiritual energy can be isolated in the cave, the instant talisman can't be restricted! Gu Mingzhou spread out his right hand's five fingers, and in the palm of his hand lay the broken transparent jade slip.

The broken Jade slip was the instant talisman.

At the critical moment just now, he had relied on this instant talisman to escape the cave and escape from the encirclement of the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog and the others.

It was the most important part of Zhao Qiankun's plan.

The whole plan was to use Jing Wudao's appearance to attract attention, and then let Master Qin take the opportunity to treat Gu Mingzhou's injuries so that Gu Mingzhou would have the ability to activate the instant talisman.

Both Zhao Qiankun and Jing Wudao could only be regarded as spiritual bodies, and could not use instant talismans at all.

Moreover, Master Qin was not reliable. Even if he could use it, it would only allow him to escape on his own. He would not be able to take Gu Mingzhou with him.

Hence, Zhao Qiankun's plan was to let Gu Mingzhou recover his cultivation and use the instant talisman.

The plan had indeed succeeded.

It's a pity that the instant talisman, which could have been used five times, has lost its effect! Gu Mingzhou looked at the fragment in his hand and sighed.

The instant talisman had saved him more than once, and now that it was broken, he felt sad.

The instant talisman was made for cultivators to use. Now that its power has been exhausted, it can be considered to have died of old age and ended its duty! Zhao Qiankun grabbed the instant talisman in his hand.

The small green toads with disgusting meat lumps on their backs appeared in pieces.
