Mortal: I can enter the spirit world at the beginning

Xu Qianyu was in a position following Yang Qian. This was the arrangement Yang Qian had made secretly before.

Although this operation is dangerous given Yang Qian's magical powers and the records in the original book, he is capable of handling it.

However, no one can predict what changes may happen, so Yang Qian naturally has to keep Xu Qianyu by his side.

Not long after, all the people disappeared without a trace.

The Floating Swamp is indeed much more bizarre than any other place.

For some unknown reason, as soon as they entered the swamp, not only could Yang Qian and the others' spiritual thoughts not leave their bodies more than a hundred feet away, but there were also thick fog and illusions inside, making it hard to guard against.

What is most troublesome is that under the wet mud, there grows a kind of strange insect called "Gui Chong".

Each of these insects has a segmented body shaped like a centipede. Each segment of the body is as hard as iron and sparkles with a cold luster.

The surface of their bodies is densely covered with countless long and sharp mouths, which are like sharp fangs. When they open and close slightly, you can almost hear a creepy "clicking" sound.

The head of the Gui insect has a pair of huge compound eyes that flash a strange red light, as if they can see through everything.

Its back is covered with a layer of sharp thorn-like protrusions. As they wriggle, these thorns will shake along, which is chilling.

The Gui insect can spit out a dark green poisonous mist that emits a pungent stench and can even corrode magic weapons and devour the protective aura of the monks.

If there were only one or two Gui insects, they would naturally not be taken seriously by the blue-eyed man and other cultivators.

It just so happens that this strange insect is a social insect. Once it jumps out of the mud, dozens of them will move out together. Each one is about ten feet long and has the ability to fly at low altitude.

As a result, every time the insect swarm was disturbed, these people would be in a panic and in a mess.

Of course, if they were not on patrol missions, they could just fly over the swamp from high altitude and these "bugs" would not be a concern.

But the patrol team was looking for traces of aliens, so it was impossible for them to fly so high, and they could only fly at low altitudes. Because of this, Gui insect attacks happened frequently, making it difficult to guard against.

There was even a time when they actually alarmed a huge swarm of insects, and three or four hundred insects swarmed out from the swamp at once.

Fortunately, Yang Qian suddenly released the Yuan magnetic divine light, which instantly froze these strange insects in mid-air, and then he displayed his divine power and burned them all to ashes with a blast of spiritual fire.

It was precisely because of Yang Qian's move that the subordinates who were originally a little skeptical of Yang Qian's magical powers now looked at Yang Qian with a little more conviction in their eyes. They all whispered to each other and praised him endlessly.

"Senior Yang is truly a man of great power. We really didn't recognize him before!"

"Yes, with Senior Yang here, our inspection will be much smoother this time." Xu Qianyu's gaze towards Yang Qian became brighter and brighter, full of admiration and adoration.

She stared at Yang Qian infatuatedly, thinking silently in her heart: "Brother Yang is no longer the low-level cultivator he used to be. Such amazing magical powers, even Grandma Yu did not have them when she was in the Spiritual Transformation Stage! It's really..."

Xu Qianyu looked at Yang Qian's back, her beautiful face startled.

"Be careful here!"

Yang Qian suddenly shouted in a low voice, his voice serious and sharp.

This sound immediately brought Xu Qianyu back to her senses. A hint of surprise flashed across her face, and then she quickly perked up.

The rest of the people also looked stern and took out various magical weapons, ready for battle.

You know, in this Fu Li Swamp, besides the Gui insects, there are many other dangers.

There is an ancient beast called the Silver-headed Beast, which likes to lurk in the dense forests of swamps. It can ignore all killings and can split its body on its own, which requires Yang Qian to spend some effort to kill it.

Fortunately, this beast moves slowly and is very territorial. As long as you run out of its territory, it will stop chasing you. Therefore, in terms of danger, it is not as scary as the Gui worm.

But just like that, only a short time after entering, Yang Qian and others deeply realized why the Fuli Swamp was called a first-level patrol area.

The group had to remain highly vigilant almost all the time, otherwise they would suffer a small loss if they were not careful.

In this way, in a blink of an eye, Yang Qian and others had been deep in the swamp for more than 20 days. Everyone was very careful along the way, but finally did not find any trace of aliens.

At this moment, the blue-eyed man named Zhuo, the Taoist named Ma and others felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah, at least we didn't run into any foreigners. This whole journey was really nerve-wracking!" Taoist Ma wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with lingering fear, "I was always worried and never felt at ease."

"Fellow Daoist Ma, you still need to be more cautious." The blue-eyed man named Zhuo frowned, shook his head seriously, and continued, "Although we haven't encountered any aliens yet, we can't let our guard down. This swamp is full of dangers, and no one knows what will happen next."

"With Senior Yang here, we don't have to worry." The old man stroked his beard and agreed with a smile, "Senior Yang's magical powers are obvious to everyone. He will definitely keep us safe."

"Yes, yes, Senior Yang has great magical powers and will definitely be able to protect us."

"That's right, it's absolutely right to follow Senior Yang!"

Others followed suit, and the heavy atmosphere in the team relaxed unconsciously, and everyone began to chat and laugh.

On this day, a group of people flew for most of the day holding the "Alien Spirit Disk". Even though they were high-level cultivators, they did not feel a little tired.

After all, it takes a lot of mental and physical drain to keep your mind focused during patrols at times like these.

At this time, a clear water pond over a hundred feet in size appeared in front of them. There was a small piece of gravel beside the pond, on which there stood a row of unusually emerald green bamboos, standing tall and graceful. Gusts of cool breeze blew, making this place as beautiful as a painting.

They all couldn't help but feel refreshed.

The blue-eyed man and the others exchanged a glance, then approached Yang Qian in a flash and said respectfully:
"Senior Yang, this is a nice place. Should we take a short break here and continue our inspection later?"

"Well, okay. Be careful and check to see if there is anything abnormal." Yang Qian had no intention of rejecting it, he just gave the order calmly.

Along the way, Yang Qian seldom gave orders and mostly accepted some suggestions from the blue-eyed man and others.

This made the relationship between the others and Yang Qian become much closer.

"Of course!" The blue-eyed man named Zhuo smiled and waved to the others behind him.

Immediately, the two old men and the couple flew around quickly. There was no reaction from the strange spirit disks in their hands. Only then did they all land on the gravel ground with peace of mind.

They would not stay here for too long, so they all found a clean place suitable for themselves and immediately sat down cross-legged to recover their exhausted minds as quickly as possible.

As a cultivator who had reached the state of spiritual transformation and had also practiced the Dayan Jue, Yang Qian did not find the inspection along the way hard at all. So he did not sit down like the others, but walked leisurely to the edge of the pond and took a few looks at it.

The pond was not too deep, and the water was clear enough to see the bottom at a glance. In the water, there was a small silver fish as thick as a finger swimming around, looking harmless.

Seeing this scene, Yang Qian raised his eyebrows, and looked around as if he remembered something, his eyes sweeping over the dozen or so green bamboos nearby.

Apart from the sound of the wind blowing gently, there was no other sound nearby, making it extremely quiet.

The blue-eyed man and ten other people were either beside the pond or under the green bamboos, all standing still. Yang Qian turned his eyes and glanced at the mirror-like calm water surface again. After a moment of hesitation, his pupils suddenly shrank, but then returned to normal.

"Could it be this place?"

He turned around slowly and raised his footsteps, as if he was going to walk towards the green bamboos.

But no one noticed that the moment Yang Qian turned around, the ten fingers of his hands retracted in his sleeves flicked, and with a flash of red light, ten faint red threads flashed and mysteriously disappeared into the gravel ground.

The whole process was silent and there was no sign at all.

Seeing this scene, Yang Qian's mouth curled up slightly, and then he walked slowly to the green bamboo, stopped in front of one of them, and stared at it with a calm look.

His behavior was indeed a bit strange, causing the young man named Ying and Xu Qianyu who were sitting cross-legged nearby to open their eyes and look over with surprise.

But Yang Qian seemed not to notice the gazes from the two men. After a moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth, and a ray of golden light shot out and cut on the green bamboo with lightning speed.

There was only a slight "click" sound, and the piece of green bamboo as thick as a bowl was instantly broken in the middle.

"Huh!" The young man surnamed Ying looked surprised.

Xu Qianyu also suddenly opened her beautiful eyes wide.

But before these two could come up with other thoughts, the incredible scene that followed made them both terrified in an instant.

From the broken end of the green bamboo, which was only half left, a dark green liquid suddenly spurted out. It was extremely smelly and the liquid was several feet high.

What was even more shocking was that, almost at the same time, the entire ground began to tremble, followed by a roar of extreme pain that came from underground. The other green bamboos shook and turned into thick green tentacles, like octopus tentacles, which lashed towards Yang Qian fiercely.

But how could Yang Qian, with his magical powers, let him succeed? He just flashed and disappeared on the spot. The next moment, he appeared above the pool, staring coldly at the strange scene of the dancing flesh whiskers in front of him.

The blue-eyed man named Zhuo and others who were meditating nearby had already been awakened from their meditation.

Seeing such a shocking change, everyone naturally looked horrified and flew into the air one after another.

Some impatient people even immediately released several flying swords and flying knives, and chopped at these flesh whiskers fiercely.

"What happened?!" When they saw Yang Qian cut the thing in half with one sword, they naturally subconsciously thought that it was not a difficult task.

But what they never expected was that when these flying swords and flying knives hit the tentacles, they made a strange sound like metal collision, and then were easily bounced back.

Just as the blue-eyed man and others were shocked and wanted to use other treasures to attack the enemy, the situation beside the pond took an astonishing turn.

The originally ordinary gray-white gravel ground suddenly seemed to be stained by thick ink and turned black in the blink of an eye.

The rubble seemed to be given fresh life and began to twist and shake violently and strangely.

Accompanied by a creepy "creaking" sound, the sound was as if countless sharp nails were scratching madly on the rough stone slabs, or like the desperate groan of an old rusty iron door being forced open. It was sharp and piercing, drilling straight into the eardrum, making people's scalp numb instantly and the hairs all over the body stand up involuntarily.

Each piece of rubble was changing shape, gradually merging with each other, and eventually transforming into purple-black scales the size of a head. These scales shone with a cold luster, with edges as sharp as blades, emitting a chilling aura.

Only then did they realize that they were actually on the body of a huge ancient beast.

This beast was round, and its mouth and nose could not be seen clearly, but it had a fleshy whisker over ten feet long on its back. It lay there close to the edge of the pond, and the dozen or so green bamboos were all transformed from the fleshy whiskers on its back.

Just now, Yang Qian and others were just resting on the body of this beast.

No one knew what magical powers this beast had. Not only did it conceal its abilities from everyone, but even the strange spirit disk was unable to detect it at all.

"Take action!" Yang Qian was floating above the pool of water. He seemed to have anticipated this situation. His expression was stern, and he stared at the beast with icy eyes, and uttered a low command.

The blue-eyed man named Zhuo and others were startled and did not dare to hesitate at all. They all offered up their other treasures.

For a moment, colorful lights flashed out, with surging momentum, sweeping towards the giant beast underground like a tide.

The ancient beast had no intention of escaping. Instead, the whiskers on its back suddenly stood up and began to twist and wave wildly.

Those whiskers looked like dancing giant pythons or nimble whips. They transformed into an impenetrable green light and shadow at a dazzling speed, blocking his body tightly.

As soon as the two collided, there was a loud rumbling sound. The flesh whisker was extremely tough, not inferior to ordinary magic weapons at all. No matter what kind of treasure hit it, it was all swept back without mercy, and could not get close to it at all.

Seeing this, the young man surnamed Ying gritted his teeth, rubbed his hands together quickly, and then raised them up suddenly.

Suddenly, strange red and yellow light spots appeared in his hands, and then they shot out and instantly turned into countless fist-sized lightning and fire, which struck downwards like a rainstorm.

A cold silver light also flashed on Xu Qianyu's body. As the light flashed wildly, countless balls of ice-attributed lightning also fell down with a loud bang.

The two kinds of thunder and fire were intertwined at the same time, with astonishing momentum. After a deafening thunder, the dazzling lightning instantly submerged most of the giant beast.

When the others saw this, they couldn't help but smile.

At this time, Yang Qian did not take action, but just watched his men's attacks expressionlessly.

"Humph!"

An extremely cold snort suddenly came from the thunder and fire, and then a strange wind appeared below without warning.

The wind was faint and weak at first, but after only a few gusts, it suddenly turned into a hurricane that soared into the sky.

Once it swept through, it would draw in all the thunder and fire below.

All they heard was a roar coming from the hurricane, and the strong wind, thunder and fire seemed to be burned to ashes, and disappeared without a trace at the same time in an instant.

The young man surnamed Ying and Xu Qianyu's faces suddenly changed, their expressions were full of horror.

The blue-eyed man named Zhuo and others were also secretly frightened, as if their hearts were being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand.

The giant beast below reappeared, but this time, there was a strange man on the ancient beast.

The skin of this strange man is light green, as if covered by a layer of strange green mist.

Apart from a piece of unknown animal skin on his lower body, he had no other clothes to cover his body. The rough animal skin barely covered his key parts and looked extremely simple.

There was not a single hair on his head, and his bald head looked particularly eerie in the dim light.

Its mouth and nose are still there, but its eyes are completely emotionless. Its empty gaze is like a bottomless cold pond, which makes people feel a chill in their hearts at first glance.

What's even more bizarre is that the strange man has his arms folded in front of his chest with a stiff and cold posture, but his lower body from the thighs down is completely integrated into the body of the giant beast, as if he and the giant beast were originally one, so natural and creepy.

"It's a wild beastman! Kill him quickly, don't let him use his magical power of combining man and beast." When the Taoist priest Ma saw the strange man, he was like seeing a snake or scorpion, and his expression immediately changed drastically and he shouted. (End of this chapter)
