Mortal Seeking Immortal

The ground beneath their feet began to shake violently. Ye Zhou and the other man flew to a hundred feet away on their swords. They saw a big pit appear where they had just stood, and yellow sand fell into the pit.

Bang!

The Futusha spirit worm jumped out of the huge pit as if in pain. Its huge mouth opened like a petal, and it let out a deafening roar. A large amount of green liquid splashed out of its mouth.

A huge sword was inserted into the mouth of the Futusha spirit worm, and the sword's large blade was mostly immersed in the mouth of the Futusha spirit worm.

Ye Zhou pinched the sword formula with his hand, and a spiritual light was emitted from the huge sword. The sword body continued to be inserted into the mouth of the Futusha spirit worm with a puff sound, and finally only the hilt was left outside the mouth.

A large amount of light green liquid sprayed out of the mouth of the Futusha spirit worm.

Roar!

The Futusha spirit insect screamed in pain, and threw its huge body to the side, shaking the yellow sand within a hundred feet.

Ye Zhou pinched the sword formula with his hand, pointed at the giant sword that was immersed in the mouth of the Futusha spirit insect and said: "Split!"

A dazzling spiritual light was emitted from the giant sword, and there was a bang, and five sword lights flew out of the body of the Futusha spirit insect!

Green liquid splashed everywhere!

The entire head of the Futusha spirit insect was crushed by the sword energy of the five flying swords!

The vitality in the body of the Futusha spirit insect was gone, and the huge headless body fell heavily to the ground, splashing countless yellow sand for a while, and the ground under the feet of Ye Zhou and the others shook twice.

Seeing that the breath of the Futusha spirit insect was cut off, Ye Zhou and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Zhou urged the flying sword to peel off the skin of the Futusha spirit insect, which could be used to refine armor.

The ghost-faced woman released her spiritual sense to explore the surrounding yellow sand. The next moment, her eyes stopped at a certain place in the yellow sand. She stretched out her hand and sent out spiritual power to capture a yellowish-brown round bead the size of a baby's fist that fell on the yellow sand.

This thing is the demon pill of the Futusha spirit insect.

The ghost-faced woman handed the demon pill to Ye Zhou, and also handed Ye Zhou a storage ring.

This storage ring was obtained by the ghost-faced woman from the black-clothed monk she had killed before. The ghost-faced woman carefully examined the storage ring and found that there was no valuable information in it except some spiritual stones, magic weapons and elixirs left by the black-clothed monk, so she gave the storage ring to Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou was not polite. He accepted the demon pill and the storage ring and said to the ghost-faced woman: "The fight just now was too noisy. It may attract other spirit insects. We'd better leave this place quickly."

After Ye Zhou said this, he performed the Liangyi Step with all his strength, and his figure turned into a residual image and shot into the distance.

The ghost-faced woman was not to be outdone. She used the ghost clan's body skills and turned into a hazy ghost fog, following Ye Zhou at a very fast speed.

The reason why Ye Zhou and his companions did not use flying swords as a means of transportation was that there were many spirit insects in the Ghost Desert. Flying with swords would be too obvious and would attract the attention of many spirit insects hiding in the yellow sand. Once these spirit insects found the traces of the cultivators, they would attack together.

Therefore, in the Ghost Desert, cultivators would never use flying swords as a means of transportation unless they had to fly with swords to escape in a critical moment.

Not long after Ye Zhou and his companions left, a bloody giant mouth with fangs emerged from under the yellow sand, swallowed the remains of the Futusha spirit insect in one gulp, and then burrowed into the yellow sand and disappeared without a trace.

Two hours later, Ye Zhou, who was rushing in the desert, suddenly stopped and looked into the distance.

The ghost-faced woman following him also stopped and looked forward with a serious expression.

A magnificent city appeared hundreds of feet in front of the two of them. Above the city gate were engraved the three characters of "Xianliu City". A team of monks in different costumes were holding magic tools and guarding the city gate listlessly. There were also several teams of monks standing on the city wall for vigilance.

Through the open city gate, Ye Zhou could clearly see the monks coming and going in the city, and the peddlers kept hawking their goods. It was a lively scene, but even if Ye Zhou listened attentively, he could not hear any sound.

The ghost-faced woman murmured, "Have we arrived at Xianliu City?"

The ghost-faced woman looked up at the sky. At their speed, it would take several hours to reach Xianliu City, but what was going on with this "Xianliu City" in front of them?

Xiaoyuan, who was hidden in Ye Zhou's sleeve, seemed to have noticed something from the "Xianliu City" in front of him. She came out of Ye Zhou's sleeve and looked at the "Xianliu City" in front of her with two eyes alertly.

Ye Zhou had never seen Xiao Yuan so alert. A light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered that there was a very interesting spirit insect recorded in the ancient spirit insect record. Perhaps the city that appeared before them was made by that spirit insect.

Ye Zhou reached out and touched Xiao Yuan's back shell a few times as if to soothe her. Xiao Yuan then obediently returned to Ye Zhou's sleeve.

The ghost-faced woman said to Ye Zhou: "Fellow Daoist Ye, this city is quite strange, it is definitely not Xianliu City."

Ye Zhou said lightly: "Of course it is not Xianliu City. If I guess correctly, the city in front of us is an illusion created by a spirit insect called mirage."

"Mirage is a social spirit insect that carries poisonous scale powder on its body. They are good at using scale powder to create illusions in the sun to attract people and monsters around them."

"Once the seduced person enters the illusion created by the mirage, he cannot escape, and finally becomes their food and is eaten by them."

"The more creatures the mirage devours, the stronger its ability to create illusions. To create such a magnificent 'Xianliu City', I don't know how many creatures it has to devour."

Ye Zhou said this, looking at the group of monks guarding the city gate with a serious look. He had not told the ghost-faced woman one thing, that is, the illusions created by the mirage were all seen by it before.

These people who appeared in the illusion should be the people who had mistakenly entered the mirage and were swallowed by the mirage before.

Ye Zhou continued: "But although the mirage can create extremely realistic illusions, they cannot make any sound."

The ghost-faced woman listened attentively and found that there was no sound coming from the "Xianliu City" in front of them.

Ye Zhou and the others were about to take a detour to Xianliu City, but unexpectedly, the illusion in front of them suddenly changed. The mirage was stimulated by something, and the illusion began to spread in the direction where Ye Zhou and the others were.

Ye Zhou and the others hurriedly showed their bodies and fled to the distance.

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Zhou and the others finally left the illusion created by the mirage far behind.

At this time, a shocking roar came from the direction of the illusion created by the mirage.

Ye Zhou said: "It seems that a spiritual insect was swallowed by the mirage."

Just as Ye Zhou and his companions hurried to Xianliu City, the black-clothed monks who were tracking the ghost-faced woman had already searched the surroundings. After not finding any trace of the ghost-faced woman, they chased her into the Guijue Desert.
