The Path to Immortality

The sky was shining again, and the Jishi Valley, which had just experienced a disaster, felt an indescribable sense of peace and tranquility.

This change was so sudden that the monks present felt somewhat unreal.

Only the ground outside the formation was reduced by one layer out of thin air, forming a clearly visible circle, reminding them that what they had just experienced was not an illusion.

Although they survived the black evil storm without any danger, everyone's consumption was almost to the extreme.

It is obviously impossible to hit the road immediately.

Fortunately, after the black evil wind blows just now, Jishi Mountain will be relatively safe for a day or two, and monsters will not appear easily.

However, to be cautious, the female cultivator Kong Lanfang took out the snuff bottle-like spiritual weapon again, released the foundation-building ghost, and let it hide in the void above the camp, monitoring the surrounding activities from a high position.

Once danger approaches, this ghost will immediately warn everyone in the formation.

With the dual means of ghosts and formations, the seven monks felt at ease. Each used pills and spiritual stones to meditate to restore their magic power.

There was silence, and the sky gradually became dark.

Before this, everyone in the Hunyuan Dingfeng Formation had not been attacked.

But as night fell, extremely subtle vibrations were faintly heard from the ground of Jishi Mountain.

Ding Biwu, Zhao Toutuo and others did not notice any abnormality at all.

Only Fang Ping, who had already recovered all his mana, felt a faint warning sign. But it was quiet outside the Hunyuan Fixed Wind Formation, and the surrounding ghosts were monitored from the air, but nothing unusual was found.

"Is it an illusion?"

Fang Ping hesitated for a moment, stood up from where he was, and walked around within the area covered by the formation.

His spiritual consciousness, which was far beyond that of a foundation-building monk, was also mobilized with all his strength to explore around.

At this moment, that subtle vibration appeared again beneath the ground. Perhaps because of the closer distance, the vibration became more obvious this time.

"not good!"

Fang Ping suddenly noticed something and immediately shouted a warning: "Everyone, be careful!"

This sharp shout immediately alarmed everyone.

Although they didn't know what happened to Fang Ping, Zhao Toutuo and others immediately jumped up, each lit up their spiritual weapons, and were ready to attack.

However, as far as the eye could see, there was no trace of any monster at all.

"Fellow Daoist Xu..."

Just as Zhao Tutuo was about to ask, Taoist Jinghai and Duanmu Chen noticed something almost at the same time, and their expressions suddenly changed.

The ground beneath the formation shook for the third time.

Then, cracks opened in the ground not far away, and a pale golden ant-like monster with a head half as tall as a man emerged from the cracks.

These ant-like monsters shine with a metallic sheen, and you can tell at a glance that they have extremely hard bodies. At the same time, there are strange lavender light spots lingering around their bodies, and a faint magnetic force can be vaguely felt attached to them.

"Metamagnetic Golden Ant!"

Taoist Jinghai revealed the origin of this monster with an extremely ugly expression.

Even when he experienced the black evil wind disaster before, no one had seen such an obvious change in his expression.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Zhuang Daoling, who had never heard of such a monster, couldn't help but ask.

However, before Taoist Jinghai could reply, these Yuanmagnetic Golden Ants that swarmed out had already swarmed to the barrier of the formation and launched an attack.

A scene that shocked everyone appeared.

The Hunyuan Fixed Wind Formation, which can be stably supported by the black evil wind disaster, is extremely vulnerable to the attack of these magnetic gold ants. In just the blink of an eye, the barrier generated by the formation flickered on and off.

"Attack them quickly, don't let these monsters attack the formation unscrupulously!"

Taoist Jinghai panicked and warned. At the same time, he sat cross-legged and once again presided over the formation with all his strength.

Seeing this, Duanmu Chen and other monks did not dare to hesitate, and used their own methods to launch a fierce attack on the Yuan Magnetic Golden Ants outside the formation!

However, a scene appeared that made the monks even more panicked.

The power of ordinary spells and low-grade spiritual weapons was inexplicably weakened by several points before they even got close to the Yuan Magnetic Gold Ant. And their bodies are extremely strong, making it almost impossible to cause any damage to them.

At least a middle-grade spiritual weapon must be started to cause limited damage!

On the contrary, Ding Biwu of Ice Spirit Root activated a black ice spell. Although the damage caused was limited, it could temporarily freeze these Yuan Magnetic Gold Ants, which had some restrictive effects.

But it can only delay the situation slightly, but cannot fundamentally change the situation of the war.

"What you don't know is that these mid-level first-order monsters were originally a type of gold-devouring ants, and they made a living by devouring spiritual minerals. It's just that there is a vein of Yuanci ore in Jishi Mountain. By devouring the vein of Yuanci ore for a long time, they gradually... The mutation gave birth to this metamagnetic golden ant."

Taoist Jinghai explained very quickly: "They have an innate ability that can slightly use the power of magnetism. Not only are they good at restraining various spiritual weapons and formations, but they can also suppress ordinary Taoist methods to a certain extent. They must be used Only some powerful methods can cause effective damage to them!"

It turned out to be such a special monster!

After learning about the origin of the Yuan Magnetic Gold Ant, the faces of the monks changed again.

No one expected that their luck would be so bad today. First they encountered the golden elixir monster, then the black evil wind disaster, and then these golden ant swarms. It can be said that they were extremely unlucky!

But such unpredictable coincidences are also one of the most dangerous reasons for Jishi Mountain!

As he spoke, more Magnetic Gold Ants emerged from the cracks in the ground, as many as hundreds.

These Yuanci Golden Ants seemed to be attracted by the formation and the cultivators inside. They covered the entire Hunyuan Dingfeng Formation and attacked wantonly.

The sound of the fine rustling of the spiritual light made all the cultivators' scalps numb.

"The formation can't hold out for much longer, at most thirty breaths!"

The face of Jinghai Taoist changed again.

Under his warning, the cultivators didn't care about hiding their secrets, and they showed their true cards and launched a fierce attack on the Yuanci Golden Ants outside.

As the most powerful one among the crowd, Duanmu Chen sacrificed a small green tower from his storage bag.

The small tower was square and looked small and exquisite, but in fact it exuded the terrifying momentum of a top-grade spiritual weapon.

Under Duanmu Chen's control, the small green tower quickly floated into the air and dropped several green light beams one after another below.

Under the suppression of the light column, even the Yuanci Golden Ant, which had amazing defense and could slightly use the Yuanci power, was still suppressed by the light column, struggling in vain, and was collected into the green tower bit by bit.

Ordinary monsters would be refined in an instant.

But after achieving success and collecting three Yuanci Golden Ants, Duanmu Chen did not see much joy on his face. He could clearly feel that the Yuanci Golden Ants suppressed in the tower were stubbornly resisting the power of the green tower.

It would take at least an incense stick of time to completely solve them.

But this speed was too slow compared to the hundreds of Yuanci Golden Ants present.

On the other side, Zhuang Daoling also showed his best spell.

He quickly pinched a series of spells and condensed dozens of extremely turbulent torrents. Under the rush of the blue torrent, although the Yuanci Golden Ant did not suffer too obvious damage, it was blown away by the power of the torrent.
