Blood rings covered its entire body, its form coiled like a mountain.

This was a Blood Ring Python in its prime!

Its strength was already infinitely close to the Primordial Realm.

The one Yao Luo had easily dealt with just now seemed to be merely its offspring.

Yao Luo, who previously hadn't spared these demonic beasts a second glance,

now wore a deathly pale expression, subconsciously taking several steps back.

Demonic beasts lacked intelligence and were no match for martial artists of the same level; this was a fact.

But that didn't mean a martial artist in the early stages of the Stellar Realm could handle a demonic beast at the peak of the Stellar Realm.

Yao Luo subconsciously cast his gaze towards the flame bracelet on Shen Lin's wrist.

Now, it seemed only contacting Elder Ye and borrowing his Primordial Realm strength could deal with this Blood Ring Python.

Yao Luo chuckled bitterly, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

He hadn't expected to have to seek Elder Ye's help so soon after entering the swamp.

He had just been boasting in front of Shen Lin.

Shen Lin understood his intention and nodded, about to channel the spiritual energy within his body into the bracelet.

But at that moment, an unforeseen event occurred.

The Blood Ring Python, which had been slowly approaching Yao Luo while flicking its tongue, suddenly froze.

Then, it abruptly raised its head, looking around uneasily.

Its long serpent tongue flicked in and out, as if sensing some danger.

Then, its body suddenly twisted faster, its massive head instantly disappearing into the thick fog.

It no longer even bothered with the culprit who had taken the spiritual herb and killed its offspring.

The rustling sound gradually faded into the distance.

Yao Luo stared blankly at this scene, barely managing to breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, he heard the sound of something cutting through the air.

The next moment, a dark shadow suddenly fell from the sky, heavily slamming down in front of Yao Luo, sending countless muddy splashes into the air.

It was the head of the Blood Ring Python that had just left.

Its blood basin-sized mouth was wide open, mechanically opening and closing.

Its scarlet eyes gradually lost their luster.

The cut was smooth; it was unknown what had directly severed its head.

At the same time, from within the thick fog, sounds of gnawing and tearing flesh constantly echoed.

It seemed the Blood Ring Python's remaining body was being devoured by an unknown entity.

Yao Luo was now utterly terrified, quickly returning to Shen Lin's side and leading him to rapidly flee in the opposite direction.

The Blood Ring Python, so powerful that it had filled him with despair, was merely food for another being.

This left the two feeling complex, and they remained silent along the way.

After flying for nearly half an hour, the atmosphere gradually eased.

"Valley Master, are there always such powerful demonic beasts lurking in this southern swamp?" Shen Lin asked curiously.

Yao Luo's expression was awkward.

He had previously thought that with him, a Stellar Realm expert, protecting Shen Lin, Shen Lin could freely roam within this swamp.

But now...

After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "It's usually not like this."

His face was filled with confusion.

He had been training in this southern swamp since he was in the Treasure Fluid Realm.

But in all this time, he had never encountered a scene like just now.

In the past, the most powerful demonic beast he had encountered was only a Stellar Realm mid-stage demonic beast.

Not to mention that mysterious being just now,

he had never even seen that Blood Ring Python in its prime.

He raised his head somewhat blankly, looking at the surrounding swamp, both familiar and strange, in confusion.

What exactly...

had happened here?

......

At the same time, within a dense forest deep in the swamp.

Bai Kai Ze's Demon Quelling Marquis squad was crammed into a small tent.

Outside the tent, densely packed black giant ants were passing by like a tide.

But as they approached the vicinity of the tent, they would subconsciously detour around it.

Wherever they passed, whether it was trees or rocks, they would bite through them one by one.

Their giant mandibles closed, shattering rocks and trees.

Only this tent.

For some reason, they seemed to be blind to it, not even getting too close.

Zhong Bai Ling's face was pale, and she swallowed, looking at the scene outside, muttering, "They seem to be... looking for something."

Bai Kai Ze nodded and said, "They're looking for food. To feed the ant queen."

Compared to Zhong Bai Ling, Bai Kai Ze and the others had been on many missions.

Although they had never been to the southern swamp, they had seen many demonic beasts in other places.

Therefore, they understood some of the behaviors of these demonic beasts.

"It's just..."

Bai Kai Ze revealed a trace of doubt on his face and said, "Such a massive Black Fiend Ant colony consumes a lot on a daily basis. They shouldn't be coming out in full force like this."

Demonic beasts are unlike demon clans and human martial artists.

They don't cultivate techniques to compress the spiritual energy within their bodies.

Therefore, the spiritual energy stored within their bodies on a daily basis will be used up quickly when they move.

The speed at which they naturally absorb spiritual energy is too slow, and most of the time, they cannot be self-sufficient.

Therefore, they can only use other demonic beasts as food to replenish spiritual energy.

But the larger the size or the larger the population of a demonic beast, the greater the demand for prey.

Ordinary demonic beasts cannot meet their massive consumption.

This leads to a very small chance of them finding suitable prey.

Most of the time, these guys are in a dormant state.

This is also why countless martial artists have entered the southern swamp to explore for so many years.

But apart from a few unlucky ones, very few people encounter high-level demonic beasts.

"The abnormality here..."

After observing for a long time, Lao Yu slowly said, "Could it be caused by that guy?"

The guy Lao Yu was talking about was their target this time.

A genius of the Tuo Dragon Clan.

Although the Tuo Dragon Clan was severely damaged in the last You Province operation,

there were still some talented individuals within the clan who were not affected.

Such as their target this time.

The foreign genius absorbed by the Tuo Dragon Clan, a young demon clan from the Chameleon Clan.

Lin Sinian!

It is said that this Chameleon Clan genius awakened a trace of the Chameleon Clan's ancestral bloodline and can communicate with demonic beasts.

Driving them to fight for him.

With such talent, if he grows up, he will inevitably become a serious threat to Great Wei.

Therefore, the Demon Quelling Marquis squad was dispatched to intercept and kill him.

However, intelligence shows.

This Lin Sinian's cultivation is only at the Aperture Realm now.

But these Black Fiend Ants outside all have the combat power of the Aperture Realm.

With his cultivation, can he drive so many Black Fiend Ants to be used by him?

Bai Kai Ze felt that the possibility was very small.

But it's not entirely impossible.

"Alas." Bai Kai Ze sighed and said in a deep voice, "Whether it was him who made the commotion or not, we must complete the mission."

"Even if our entire squad sacrifices, we must kill him here!"

"This is the duty of our Demon Quelling Marquis."
