Chapter 674

Most of the cultivator cities were built by the mountains, so at this moment, it was impossible for Wei Suo to determine which city it was. He could only confirm that this definitely wasn't Northern Spirit City.

The blood and flesh of this giant beetle had already frozen, but it hadn't rotted away yet. Judging from this, it must have been dead for two to three days.

Normally, this kind of demonic beast's flesh would begin to rot after four days.

As Wei Suo scanned the area with his Spiritual Sense, he couldn't find any injuries on the rest of the Purple Flame Beetle. It was most likely because of the b.l.o.o.d.y hole he dug and the continuous journey back, that caused its life to be cut off.

According to Wei Suo's previous judgement, the damage to the Purple Flame Beetle was not serious. It would take at least seven to eight days for it to die out. Plus, it had already been dead for two to three days.

Ten days?

Wei Suo was shocked by the time he calculated.

[I have been in a coma for ten days?

This conclusion caused Wei Suo to be stunned.

According to the records of the Secret Dragon Pearl Art, it only took a dozen or so days to open the sealed acupoints in the body and recover one's cultivation. That is to say, he would only need two to three days to recover his cultivation?

This discovery stunned Wei Suo for a long time.

If ten days had pa.s.sed and the Purple Flame Beetle had fled south at full speed as per his previous instructions, then it would've traveled south at least seventy to eighty thousand miles without a day or night.

To the south of the Northern Spiritual City was the Heaven's Brilliance City, then the Blue Luan City, and then the Guan Shan City, more than 30,000 miles away from the Northern Spiritual City. According to the distance, he was already in Guan Shan city.

Mount Guan City was the third city to go deeper into the northern part of the Profound Sky Continent than Northern Spirit City, while Cyan Phoenix City was also the largest city in the northern part of the Profound Sky Continent. As the fifth ranked sect in the northern part of the Profound Sky Continent, the Great Mi Sect was also home to several Jindan Stage cultivators.

If Guan Shan city had already been destroyed, then the Sky Glory City and Cyan Rose City would definitely no longer exist!

No wonder the Heart Devouring Bug ran off to who knows where.

Before he fainted, he had let the Heart Devouring Bug control the Purple Flame Beetle all the way south. Now that the Purple Flame Beetle was dead and he had been in a coma for too long, this Heart Devouring Bug had temporarily lost control and was definitely out on its own.

I wonder how Jia and the others are doing.

Wei Suo could not help but be confused, and he immediately thought of Jia and the others. When the ancient teleportation spell formation was completed, Ji Ya and the others would be able to safely teleport to the Cloud Spirit Continent. However, even in such a situation, Wei Suo did not expect himself to survive. They must have thought he was dead by now.

However, no matter what, their temporary safety should be fine. Right now, the most important thing was to ensure that they did not perish.

Wei Suo once again released his Spiritual Sense with all his strength, carefully sensing the surrounding situation.

Under his Spiritual Sense, this completely destroyed city was deathly still, with no signs of any cultivators around.

However, there were still some demonic beasts in the city. However, the number of demonic beasts was not as dense as it had been during the last half hour. Within a radius of thousands of feet, there were five to six demonic beasts pa.s.sing by.

The density of these kinds of demon beasts was probably only about the same as the denser demon beasts outside the sky in the Wasteland. Moreover, Wei Suo could feel that two or three of the six people were rus.h.i.+ng past, and were on their way. However, two of them seemed to be wandering around nearby. He was already searching for food here, as if he was going to stay nearby and settle down.

Such a discovery caused Wei Suo's heart to turn cold.

Since there were no cultivators around, it meant that this area was thousands of miles in radius and was still under the control of the demonic beasts. Perhaps the beasts were still attacking the remaining cultivator cities.

This area was equivalent to the territory of demon beasts. It was possible that powerful demon beasts could pa.s.s through this area at any time.

Although he could regain control of the heart devouring bug as long as he was slightly closer to it, it might be able to escape even further. And according to his current injuries, even if he were to fully open all of the closed points within his body and recover his true essence cultivation after two or three days, he would still be unable to use a great deal of his true essence. It would take at least five days for the damaged meridians and internal organs in his body to be mostly healed. At that time, he would be an astonis.h.i.+ng level 4 Golden Core Stage cultivator, and in these four to five days, his Sea of Consciousness would still be a weakling that might not even be able to deal with level 4 or 5 demonic beasts.

Moreover, when Lin Taixu had sent him out of the array formation, he had also left the Yang Fat Bird and Blue Luan in the array formation. These two slave beast bags would definitely be teleported to the edge of Cloud Spirit Continent along with Ji Ya and the others. The safety of the Yang Fat Bird and the Blue Luan would definitely not be a problem.

At that time, he had thought that he would definitely perish, which was why he did this. But now, both of his Abyssal Bone Lords had been destroyed, and the Sunfat Bird and Blue Luan were no longer with him.

In this situation, he didn't have any good protection.

Moreover, he had spent a lot of effort on this Heart Devouring Bug. If something were to happen to this Bug while it was out of control, then the loss would be too great for him.

Just thinking about it made him feel a bitter taste in his mouth.

However, he didn't have any other choice. He could only continue to stay within the Purple Flame Beetle's body to heal his injuries.

After half a day, Wei Suo closed his eyes and moved within the Purple Flame Beetle's body. His body seemed to finally be able to move freely, pus.h.i.+ng the bug meat a little further away from him.

After that, he immediately closed his eyes and began to treat his injuries with all his strength.

However, this time, not long after, his eyes suddenly opened, revealing a cold look.

After he gritted his teeth, a white light flashed in his hand and a white jade plate magic treasure appeared in his storage bracelet.

This magic treasure looked as if it were made of ice, and emitted a faint chill. However, it was a low-grade spirit rank magic treasure that Wei Suo had never used before, as if it was a spirit stone.

And just by using his true essence to stimulate the bracelets, it was obvious that his face had gone pale, as if the injuries in his body had been triggered.

After taking out this magic treasure, Wei Suo did not move at all, as if he was waiting for something.

"Pah!"

"Pah!"

The Purple Flame Beetle suddenly trembled, and the sound of it colliding could be heard from outside.

Not long after they collided one after another, the sounds of swallowing and tearing could be clearly heard. Something seemed to be devouring the flesh and blood of the Purple Flame Beetle.

Wei Suo's face was extremely ugly to behold.

After a short while, a "pa" sound was heard. The two thick armors covering the Purple Flame Beetle were actually lifted.

"Chi!"

Wei Suo's face changed. Without the slightest hesitation, he activated the white jade plate magic treasure in his hands.

An extremely cold white frost immediately gushed out.

Opening up the two armors of the Purple Flame Beetle were two demonic beasts that looked like otters. Their bodies were covered with black scales and their mouths were full of sharp teeth. Streams of fishy saliva dripped from their mouths.

These two stinky Demonic Beasts were about the same size as a cultivator, and there were quite a few purplish-red minced meat hanging from their sharp teeth. They seemed to have eaten some of the other parts of this Purple Flame Beetle, but they weren't satisfied with the meal. The two demonic beasts never thought that there would be another cultivator below them.

They didn't even have the time to do anything. The two demon beasts had only reached half of their body before they were incited by Wei Suo's blast of white cold air.

The front half of the two beasts' bodies were immediately frozen into a lump of ice. Then, the following white cold qi rushed out and the two ice cubes, along with the other half of the demonic beast, directly shattered. These two demon beasts were killed by Wei Suo's sudden attack.

However, at the same time, Wei Suo's body trembled. The light from the white jade plate magic treasure in his hand was extinguished, and another such demon beast stuck its head into the ground, biting onto the hand that was holding the white jade plate. Then, with a tug of force, it directly pulled Wei Suo out of the Purple Flame Beetle's body, as if he was pulling out a radish.

"Pfft!"

After Wei Suo was dragged onto the body of the Purple Flame Beetle, he forcefully stuck his hand into the beast's throat and fiercely pulled.

This demon beast's eyes suddenly bulged and its entire body twitched, then Wei Suo's hand was pulled out from the demon beast's mouth, grabbing a few organs such as the throat or esophagus. The demon beast spat out a large amount of blood from its mouth, twitched for a while, but immediately stopped moving.

A trace of blood seeped out from the corner of Wei Suo's mouth as he weakly sat on the back of the Purple Flame Beetle. He didn't even dare to breathe deeply, fearing that he would suffer even more injuries.

Rotten otter, a mid-tier fourth-rank demon beast specializing in devouring the flesh and blood of demon beasts for a living.

The three that Wei Suo had killed were these kinds of demon beasts. Right now, there were only these three scavengers in his line of sight. However, Wei Suo's eyes were extremely shocked at this moment.

At this moment, he was in a city that had turned into ruins, right in the middle of the city.

There were broken walls and broken pillars everywhere, irregular fragments destroyed by various magical powers everywhere. Besides the various holes in the ground formed by the impact of magical powers, there were also many bottomless gouges on the ground. The small ones were like a snake's hole, but the big ones were only one to two Zhang in radius.

Broken vests and bones of cultivators could be seen everywhere. On the ground, the remains of all kinds of demon beasts could be seen.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the entire city seemed to be shrouded in the b.l.o.o.d.y afterglow of the setting sun.

This city was at least five times larger than the Northern Spiritual City. The area around this city that was built on a mountain was filled with greyish-green sand plains.

Mountain Pa.s.s City!

The city he was in right now was indeed the city of Guan Shan!

Even though he had never been to Guan Shan City before and didn't have much understanding of the city, Wei Suo had a very deep impression of the gray sand plains around Guan Shan City when he had looked at the map of the northern part of Profound Sky Continent.

Five thousand kilometers around the city were ash-gray sand plains that looked like deserts.

The reason why he had such a deep impression was because tens of thousands of years ago, a cultivator at Guan Shan City was said to have tried a technique after breaking through to the third level of the Divine Profound Realm. In the end, he destroyed a three thousand meter tall green stone mountain with a single strike, turning it into dust.

However, Wei Suo also remembered very clearly that on the gray sand plains outside of Mount Guan City, there were only a few low, ironwood trees. Some of them were over a thousand years old and could be used to craft magic tools.

However, in the plains around the city, there were several kinds of strange trees.

Many of these trees had already grown to a height of several zhang. There was a type of tree that emitted dark green phosph.o.r.escence, and had many dandelion-like flowers growing on it. There was also a tree with purple flowers the size of washbasins that gave off a strange feeling. There was also a tree with red berries on it. It was the size of a watermelon and looked very red.

Not only in the plains outside the city, but in the ruins of the city too, there were already some strange trees growing!

What was different from what Wei Suo imagined was that this city, which seemed to have turned into a huge cemetery, was extremely quiet. It was not like what he had imagined, where demon beasts could be seen everywhere.

Moreover, what surprised him the most was that among all the demonic beasts, aside from some below rank 3, the majority of them had already taken out their beast cores, and some of the special ones that could be used to make magic tools had disappeared.

This was absolutely not something a demon beast would do, because even if a demon beast wanted to eat the monster cores and flesh of other demon beasts, it wouldn't take away some carapaces or other materials that were particularly suitable for refining.
