The three of them continued to run forward. At this moment, Fang Xuan was the one leading the way.
At this moment, the three of them no longer had the consciousness of time. The fog even covered the sky tightly. The few of them kept circling in the fog. If this continued, they would starve to death before they went out.
According to Ning Lanqing, the source of the fog here should be a Thousand-legged Worm King.
Other low-level Thousand-legged Worms had some self-awareness, and there was a high chance that it was also controlling them.
Through Ning Lanqing's description, Fang Xuan knew that the thick purple smoke in the center of the forest was most likely the so-called Thousand-legged Worm King. Therefore, he told the two of them that his perception ability could sense that it was nearby.
"Where are you? Are you messing with us?"
Fang Xuan did not say anything. At this moment, he had opened his Eye of Reconnaissance to its maximum. He could already see the thick purple poisonous fog not far away through the layers of smoke.
This time, the few of them were not completely confident. After all, the other party was a real Tier 2 magical beast.
What was more terrifying than death was waiting for death. Only then did Fang Xuan truly understand the meaning of this sentence.
Fortunately, the journey was not boring. He could also kill some wild Thousand-legged Worms ahead. The ant in his hand could also devour the poisonous fog of the Thousand-legged Worms.
What surprised him even more was that not only did his level increase after devouring the poisonous fog, but the ants he summoned could also be selectively poisonous.
Turning the enemy's power into his own, this greatly boosted Fang Xuan's morale.
"Here they come!"
Fang Xuan shouted and the three of them stopped in their tracks.
Ten meters in front of him, he could clearly see a purple mist in front of him. There was no life in this place.
Ning Lanqing opened the water barrier, but this time, the water barrier couldn't go any further in front of the purple smoke, and it stopped there.
She turned her head to look at the hesitant Sun Ming and the expressionless Fang Xuan. Gritting her teeth, she covered her entire body with a layer of blue barrier and stuffed a silver ring into Fang Xuan's hands.
"This is a Spatial Ring crafted by my general's residence. It has 30 cubic meters of space. Take it as a gift on the way. If anything happens to me, take it to my father. At that time, he will understand everything."
After saying that, Ning Lanqing dragged a streak of blue light and rushed into the purple fog without looking back.
Before Fang Xuan could react, Sun Ming was already anxious.
This was a Level 2 demonic creature with intelligence. There was a high chance that it had a spirit core.
As a businessman, he knew the value of spirit cores.
Not to mention a spirit core, even the other things on the Thousand-legged Worm King were enough for his living expenses for a year.
"Junior Sister Ning! Wait for me!"
Sun Mingâ€TMs entire body was covered in a layer of flame membrane as he charged in.
Fang Xuan was completely helpless.
What two useless teammates. He sighed and put on the silver ring on his finger, slowly moving towards the purple fog.
On the other side, on a huge tree that was encircled by ten people.
"General's daughter, Young Master Sun, what are you two trying to do…"
Leng Lingxiao had no choice but to summon his golden subdued beast. Just as he was about to rush to Fang Xuan's rescue, he saw Fang Xuan's actions and stopped in mid-air.
As soon as Ning Lanqing stepped into the purple fog, the shield on her body began to corrode rapidly, emitting white mist.
"Fortunately, it's still within a tolerable range. However, I still have to end the battle quickly."
When she thought of this, she did not hesitate. She clenched one hand into a fist and punched forward.
In the center of the purple fog was the Thousand-legged Worm King's main body. Seeing that the human in front of it was attacking it directly, it did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly twisted its waist to dodge. The originally stagnant fog immediately began to boil.
Fang Xuan looked at the action in front of him and knew that the battle inside had already begun.
He approached the thick fog and activated his Eye of Reconnaissance and perception at the same time. He finally saw the scene inside clearly.
However, the next scene was Sun Ming baring his fangs and brandishing his claws as he joined the battle. Then, he actually sent the Thousand-legged Worm King to Ning Lanqing's face with a punch.
"Sun Ming, you!"
This caught both sides off guard, but the poisonous fog penetrated Ning Lanqing's shield. The latter was paralyzed and could not react in time.
The Thousand-legged Worm King was huge, but its speed was abnormally fast. Its huge body left afterimages in the air, and in the next moment, it arrived in front of Ning Lanqing.
When she came back to her senses, she could only barely avoid the vital parts.
As blood splattered, two crescent-shaped marks appeared on Ning Lanqing's shoulder.
Sun Ming was stunned by this scene, and his desire to counterattack immediately dissipated by more than half. After symbolically resisting a few moves, he began to move towards the periphery.
"S-Sister Ning, I'll go find Teacher Leng to save you. Wait for me."
Soon, Sun Ming withdrew from the range of the fog. The Thousand-legged Worm King didn't dare to rashly chase after him, not to mention that Ning Lanqing was already a cooked duck in front of it.
Under the Thousand-legged Worm King's poison, Ning Lanqing's consciousness gradually began to blur. At the last moment before her eyelids closed, she saw the back of a person holding a dagger in one hand.
Fang Xuan looked sideways at the unconscious Ning Lanqing and shook his head.
This girl was not a bad person, but she was too stubborn. However, it was really troublesome for the people of General Manor to die here. Moreover, he had already accepted her ring.
He rubbed the silver-white interspatial ring in his hand.
The Thousand-legged Worm King in front of him could not help but feel instinctively surprised when it saw this human standing in front of it without any defense.
However, this was its territory after all, so it was not afraid of anything and charged straight at Fang Xuan.
The latter grinned and placed his God Devouring Ant in front of him.
The insect suppressed its forward momentum in an extremely comical state and then retreated crazily as if it wanted to fly.
Fang Xuan was stunned for a moment before he understood. This was probably the bloodline suppression that a magical beast with intelligence felt.
This was a fear that was really engraved in his DNA. Perhaps the God Devouring Ant in his hand had eaten many of its ancestors.
Without needing Fang Xuan to call out, the ant in his hand shot out like an arrow. In a few breaths, it caught up to the Thousand-legged Worm King, which was a hundred times larger than it.
The Thousand-legged Worm King was as tall as two people, and the armor on its body emitted a terrifying ferocious light.
However, after being stuck by the half-palm-sized ant, it quickly shrank and its huge body fell to the ground.
Fang Xuan quickly followed and realized that the Thousand-legged Worm King's body was already empty. He took out his dagger and cut off the two huge poisonous fangs. Then, he saw that something seemed to be glowing under the latter's poisonous fangs.
He quickly cut open the entire head, and a fruit-shaped purple crystal appeared in his vision.
Could this be the Spirit Core they were talking about?
Fang Xuan thought of Ning Lanqing, who had been bitten by the Thousand-legged Worm King behind him, and quickly put it away. He turned around to check her aura.
Fortunately, it was just a simple poison. The poison had not spread yet.
The ant stuck its head out and sucked out the poison from Ning Lanqing's body in the blink of an eye.
His face was a little red as he took off the clothes on the latter's shoulder. He tore one of his pants into a strip of cloth and wrapped it around it, treating it as a simple way to stop the bleeding.
Fang Xuan stretched lazily. At this moment, the purple fog was disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was probably the same for the smoke outside. It was time to leave this godforsaken place.
