Chapter 264 - The Strange Giant Hand!
Chapter 264: Chapter 264: The Strange Giant Hand!
The succubi beside Ren Qi also rushed out quickly. Under the lead of Elise, they headed towards the tarnished lions.
Tabitha, on the other hand, was not very interested.
After all, the lions wrapped in black flames were tarnished. They could not be affected by her power.
How good would it be if it was a normal monster?
It would be great to be able to increase one’s strength by fishing for prey among so many soldiers.
!!It was a pity.
The Dark Elf Queen and the Elemental Elf Queen did not choose to attack.
There was no need for them to attack a tarnished of this level.
However, the Elemental Elf Queen brought the Dark Elf Queen to a position far away from Ren Qi. She kept talking to the Dark Elf Queen and occasionally pointed at Ren Qi.
Of course, Ren Qi saw them, but he pretended not to see them.
After all, what the Dark Elf Queen had done to him was a little too embarrassing.
Although the number of tarnished lions wrapped in black flames was still increasing, it was not difficult for Ren Qi and the others to deal with them.
After all, the combined combat power of their forces was still very powerful.
Even the combined combat power of the current Long Yi and the dark divine dragons beside him was not as powerful as Ren Qi and the others.
Of course, Ren Qi also knew that this was because the Dark Divine Dragon clan had not gathered together.
Since the Dark Divine Dragon clan was guarding the first sealing gate, the Dark Divine Dragon clan should also be guarding the sealing gate behind.
Right now, they were only seeing a part of the Dark Divine Dragon clan.
If the entire Dark Divine Dragon clan gathered together, they would definitely be able to crush Ren Qi and the others.
A large number of tarnished lions wrapped in black flames swarmed over and began to crazily attack Ren Qi and the others.
It was as if Ren Qi and the others had something that attracted them.
It was especially so for Ren Qi and the other new lords. It was as if they were even more attracted to them.
Ren Qi clearly noticed that some of the tarnished lions wrapped in black flameswere clearly targeting him, Zhao Yuheng, and the others.
“Is this the place behind the sealing gate? It doesn’t look dangerous,” Tian Jizi chuckled as he watched the tarnished lions wrapped in black flames being killed continuously.
Xuan Ming’s expression was grave as he said, “This is the sealing gate after all. No one knows what will happen inside. It is best to be careful.”
Zhao Yuheng also nodded and said, “That’s right. We are still unaware of the situation here…”
Before Zhao Yuheng’s voice faded, Ren Qi and the rest suddenly felt the ground begin to tremble under their feet.
Soon after, a pale-white arm swiftly extended from the ground below. It directly grabbed towards Ren Qi and the rest.
This white arm was very large. When it was spread out, it could even completely grab Ren Qi and the others with one hand.
Ren Qi and the others instantly felt an extremely dangerous feeling coming from below.
Because they had just arrived here, they were not very clear about the situation here. Subsequently, Ren Qi and the others still held back a few troops.
A half-step Saint-tier undying blood phoenix beside Zhao Yuheng cried out. After which, it quickly collided with this pale-white arm.
This half-step Saint-tier undying blood phoenix directly collided with this pale-white arm. The flames on its body spread out in an instant and directly wrapped around this large pale-white arm.
However, this large pale-white arm did not seem to feel anything as it directly grabbed the charging undying blood phoenix.
The hand directly retracted and this undying blood phoenix immediately let out a mournful cry. Its body was instantly bound.
The other two undying blood phoenixes around Zhao Yuheng also hurriedly rushed over when they saw this, wanting to help.
However, before they could get close, this pale-white arm that extended from the ground quickly withdrew back. It instantly sank into the ground and disappeared.
The half-step Saint-tier undying blood phoenix also disappeared.
The sudden change stunned everyone.
What was that thing?
A huge pale-white arm. Could there be something big underground?
That was a half-step Saint-tier undying blood phoenix. It was grabbed and pulled down like a chicken.
It wasn’t going to be fixed by Ren Qi and the others.
A half-step Saint-tier undying blood phoenix wouldn’t be destroyed just like that, right?
If that was the case, then how strong was the owner of the pale-white arm?
Ren Qi and the others didn’t hesitate and directly came to the bodies of various soldiers.
Ren Qi also came to the body of a dark dragon and slowly rose into the air to prevent that pale-white giant arm from reaching out from the ground again.
“F*ck! What was that thing just now? Why did it suddenly appear?” Tian Jizi’s face was very ugly.
“I’m not sure. This place seems to be more dangerous than we thought.” Fang Qian looked at the hole in the ground caused by that pale arm, and his expression became very ugly.
Zhao Yuheng’s expression was very ugly.
After all, the one who was captured was a half-step Saint-tier undying blood phoenix. Although it could be revived with blood essence, it would take a certain amount of time.
They still didn’t know when they would reach the forbidden land and when they would be able to leave.
If they took more time, this half-step Saint-tier undying blood phoenix might not be able to be reborn.
Just as Zhao Yuheng’s expression turned ugly, a phoenix cry came from the ground not far away.
Hearing this phoenix cry, Zhao Yuheng was stunned for a moment before a look of joy appeared on her face.
“Boom!”
The ground in front of her suddenly split open. Following that, a figure covered in flames quickly rushed out from the ground and arrived in the sky.
It was the cry of the undying blood phoenix that had been captured earlier.
It had escaped!
However, although it had escaped from underground, this undying blood phoenix’s condition was extremely bad.
Its body was covered in wounds. The wounds looked very ferocious, as if it had been bitten by something.
The undying blood phoenix’s gaze landed on Zhao Yuheng, and its body staggered as it flew towards Zhao Yuheng.
Without any hesitation, Zhao Yuheng immediately asked the two undying blood phoenixes beside her to help.
“Boom!”
Just as the two undying blood phoenixes were about to reach the injured undying blood phoenix, the huge pale-white palm once again emerged from the ground and welcomed the two incoming undying blood phoenixes.
“This guy has consciousness. He’s using the previous undying blood phoenix as bait!” Ren Qi exclaimed in shock.
Although he did not know who the owner of this pale-white hand was, it was clear that the other party had consciousness.
The two undying blood phoenixes faced the large pale-white hand that had suddenly extended out and directly clawed at the other party with their sharp claws.
The large pale-white hand was very fast. However, when it drilled out from under the ground, it did not have the ability to turn. Its flexibility was still very poor.
The two undying blood phoenixes directly dodged the claw attack of the large pale-white hand. After which, they grabbed at the large pale-white hand from both sides.
Two cracks appeared on the large pale-white hand after the sharp claws slid past.
However, these two cracks were not very deep. Moreover, there was not any fresh blood flowing out of them. Instead, they appeared to be dry like withered trees.
At this moment, the pale white hand suddenly turned without any warning. As if it had no bones, it directly grabbed towards an undying blood phoenix that was not far away from it.
The speed of this palm turning was too fast, and no one would have thought that it would undergo such a transformation.
Caught off-guard, the undying blood phoenix that had been targeted was about to be caught.
At this moment, the Elemental Elf Queen, who was not too far away, rushed over.
A seven-colored ray of light shot out from the Elemental Elf Queen’s staff and directly landed on the large pale-white hand.
“Roar!”
Accompanied by a mournful scream, the large pale-white hand was directly burned by the seven-colored ray of light shot out from the Elemental Elf Queen’s staff and started emitting smoke.
Following that, the pale white hand quickly retracted back into the ground, as though it was afraid, and its speed was extremely fast.
The expressions of Ren Qi and the others changed.
That was because the shrill scream did not come from underground, but from within the pale white hand.
In other words, this pale white hand was just a hand, and not something else hidden beneath it.
A pale-white palm!
And it had intelligence!
Why did this matter sound so strange?
The two undying blood phoenixes escorted the injured undying blood phoenix back.
Zhao Yuheng checked and found that this undying blood phoenix had lost a lot of blood essence, and its aura had become very weak.
Basically, it could be said that two-thirds of its life had already been lost.
Feeling the undying blood phoenix’s condition, Zhao Yuheng’s eyes flashed with anger.
What was that pale white palm just now?
At this moment, the Elemental Elf Queen and the Dark Elf Queen came to Ren Qi’s side.
No matter what happened to the others, the two of them still had to ensure Ren Qi’s safety.
Ren Qi looked at the Elemental Elf Queen and the Dark Elf Queen in front of him and asked, “Your Highness, do you know what that thing was just now?”
Such a strange thing had never been heard of before.
Now that Long Yi was leading the Dark Divine Dragon clan to lead the way, Ren Qi could only ask the Elemental Elf Queen and the Dark Elf Queen if they knew what it was.
The Dark Elf Queen frowned and said, “I’ve never seen this kind of thing before. It’s a little too strange.”
At this time, the Elemental Elf Queen slowly said, “I’ve never seen this kind of thing before, but I’ve heard of it.”
“It’s said that in the area of the tarnished, a large number of the tarnished corpses will gather together to form this kind of strange thing.”
“They would continuously devour the blood essence of other creatures, and even their soul energy. They were even able to give birth to intelligence. I did not expect that such a thing really existed.”
“They are called corpse limbs. Generally speaking, it is very difficult to give birth to them. However, there are so many tarnished here, so it is not impossible to give birth to corpse limbs.”
Corpse limbs!
Ren Qi, Zhao Yuheng, and the others’ eyes flickered when they heard the Elemental Elf Queen’s words.
As expected, they had to be more careful since they were behind the sealing gate.
At this moment, Long Yi’s voice was heard from afar.
“Quickly follow them and charge forward. There will be more and more tarnished. If you encounter corpse limbs, don’t bother with them. These things are afraid of death after gaining sentience, so they aren’t much of a threat.”
“Before the tarnished surround us, we must enter the next area of the sealing gate.”
Ren Qi did not hesitate when he heard Long Yi’s words. He directly charged forward and followed the large group as they charged forward.
Zhao Yuheng and the others were the same. They commanded their troops and quickly approached Long Yi.
As for the large pale white hand, everyone was a little more careful and did not bother about it anymore.
Not long after Ren Qi and the others left, the pale white hand once again appeared from the ground.
The hand opened, and a white eyeball rolled in the center of the hand, as if it was looking at Ren Qi and the others.
Then, the pale white hand closed and sank back into the ground.
Standing on top of the dark dragon, Ren Qi could clearly see that the number of tarnished gathering around them was increasing. The area around them was like two black waves, crazily surging towards them from both sides.
The tarnished lions wrapped in black flames just now were like a vanguard force. In the midst of these waves, the number of tarnished seemed to be a little sparse.
The other tarnished creatures also began to appear. Those tarnished elemental elves also appeared in the distance. Their numbers were even greater than the number that had attacked Ren Qi’s succubus territory.
When she saw this group of pitch-black elemental elves, the Elemental Elf Queen’s expression became extremely ugly.
Ren Qi looked at these pitch-black elemental elves, then looked at the Elemental Elf Queen and asked, “Your Highness Elemental Elf Queen, I never had the chance to ask you before. What does this kind of tarnished elemental elf have to do with the elemental elves?”
Previously, Ren Qi was curious about the origin of the tarnished elves.
According to the information he received, the tarnished were contaminated by the divine war.
In other words, before they were contaminated, these tarnished were most likely normal creatures.
The Elemental Elf Queen frowned as she glanced at Ren Qi. Then, she said, “I know what you want to say, but these aren’t my people.”
“In my previous plane, the elemental elves had three branches. One of the branches was completely contaminated. These should be them.”
Although they weren’t her clansmen, they were all elemental elves. When the Elemental Elf Queen saw these tarnished elemental elves, she felt a little down.
Ren Qi saw this and just nodded, but he didn’t say anything else.
At this moment, the injured undying blood phoenix next to Zhao Yuheng suddenly let out a mournful cry.
Then, its body suddenly stiffened and fell from the air.
It had died!
