Demon's Diary

The black armor Hellish-Insect, that was about to fly away, stopped and let out a groan. It turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

There were a few huge rocks there piling up in a mess. The black carapace Hellish-Insect looked at it carefully for a while, but it found nothing.

After a while, it left with the other Hellish-Insects.

After the Hellish-Insects left, behind a boulder, Liu Ming gradually revealed himself.

Looking at the direction Hellish-Insect Clan was going, a smile appeared on his face.

He was very satisfied with the results of this rather daring experiment. At such a close distance, this Real Pellet State Hellish-Insect didn't notice him at all. It seemed that the concealment effect of Che Huan Totem was very effective for these Hellish-Insect Clan.

In other words, as long as he didn't use spiritual power, most Hellish-Insects couldn't detect his existence.

After knowing this situation, Liu Ming moved and continued to sneak in the direction of Sunset Peak.

On the next journey, although the Hellish-Insects encountered became more and more, Liu Ming just went through them when seeing the groups of Hellish-Insects below the Real Pellet State.

If he encountered a Hellish-Insect Clan with a large scale or a cultivation level above the Real Pellet State, Liu Ming would not rashly take action. Thus, he didn't encounter too much obstruction.

After half a day, in a dark valley between 2 steep giant peaks, a shadow silently slipped down against one side of the mountain wall.

The dim light slowly dissipated, revealing Liu Ming's figure.

On the other side of the mountain wall, there were several huge caves in different heights. Because of the long age, the caves had been mostly blocked by giant stones. Through the small holes, the caves inside were dark, making it impossible to see the situation inside at all.

The tall weeds grew messily on the mountains, and there was no trace left by humans.

Liu Ming looked at the cave entrances with flickering eyes.

A long time ago, there was an upper grade spirit stone mineral vein under the jurisdiction of the Taiqing Sect, but it was exhausted thousands of years ago. It had been abandoned to this day.

However, according to the map Immortal Tian Ge gave him, there was a dark river in the depths of this mineral vein, which could lead directly to the Sunset Peak.

Liu Ming took out a white talisman. It was the Sky Escape Shadowless Talisman.

He quickly chanted and launched a symbol. The Sky Escape Shadowless Talisman emitted circles of soft white lights that enveloped Liu Ming.

Liu Ming only felt an extremely comfortable warm current pouring into his body. His figure swayed slightly before turning into an invisible body.

He moved his limbs. A very strange feeling suddenly emerged in his mind. Although he was standing right there, he seemed to be isolated from everything around him as if he was in a different space that only he could move.

"Mystic Comprehending State-level talisman is really something else!" He murmured in admiration, then he moved into the mineral vein.

This was already the depths of the Hellish-Insect Clan army. The chance of encountering high rank Hellish-Insects was extremely high. Although he did not sense any trace of Hellish-Insect around. But it was difficult to guarantee that there wasn't any in the mineral vein. Just in case, he still decided to use this Sky Escape Shadowless Talisman.

As a result, Liu Ming searched for a while in the mineral vein. He found that the tunnels here extended in all directions. There were traces of excavation everywhere, but most of the tunnels extended toward the underground.

He slowly walked toward the depths of the mineral vein based on his memory.

Because it had been abandoned for a long time, from time to time he could see some falling stones covering the tunnels along the way. With the clear map route, it did not affect Liu Ming's speed at all.

Liu Ming threw a few punches and crushed the boulder in front, then he easily jumped over.

Although he used Sky Escape Shadowless Talisman, he was cautious along the way. Fortunately, he did not encounter any Hellish-Insect along the way. In about 15 minutes, he came to the mineral vein.

As a cool breeze blew from the corner in front, a trickling sound of water flowing into Liu Ming's ears.

Liu Ming hurried forward and turned out of the corner.

As a result, the sight in front made Liu Ming delighted.

Under the dark mineral vein, a 30 meters river wide was rushing toward the distance.

That direction was exactly where Sunset Peak was.

Liu Ming flicked his right hand, and a 2-person tall dark brown wood appeared in his hand.

This wood did not look much different from ordinary wood, but if one checked with Divine Thought, he would find that there were circles of rune like annual rings.

This piece of wood was called Spirit Isolation Wood. It was one of several other treasures that Immortal Tian Ge gave to Liu Ming.

The Spirit Isolation Wood looked like ordinary wood, but it had a miraculous effect of shielding from most Divine Thought's exploration.

Liu Ming swiftly dug a half-human size hole on the Spirit Isolation wood with a bare hand, then he lay down in it.

Then, with a "thump", the Spirit Isolation Wood fell into the dark river and splashed the water high. The turbulent river water carried the wood forward.

The Spirit Isolation Wood was dark in color, and it was inconspicuous floating in the river. Liu Ming had been concealed by the Sky Escape Shadowless Talisman. Even if a Celestial State powerhouse was there, he would have thought that this Spirit Isolation Wood was just no different from other woods.

If nothing was wrong, according to the markings on the map, he should soon arrive at the area where Sunset Peak was located.

The water flow of the underground river was quite turbulent. In less than a day, Liu Ming was very close to Sunset Peak.

Along the way, apart from some occasional underground beastkins, nothing happened.

This underground river was so hidden that even Hellish-Insect Clan didn't seem to find this place. So far, Liu Ming had not found any Hellish-Insect Clan around.

Just when Liu Ming started to figure out the next move for Sunset Peak, 2 chaotic spiritual fluctuations rushed toward Liu Ming.

"I'm discovered!? No, it shouldn't be possible." Liu Ming felt the aura getting closer. He was shocked slightly.

The Sky Escape Shadowless Talisman had already made Liu Ming invisible. With the additional blessing of the Spirit Isolation Wood, the chance of him being discovered was very minimal.

However, Liu Ming still dug a small hole on the Spirit Isolation Wood and looked through it.

Boom!

Several dozen meters in front of The Spirit Isolation Wood, the ground near the underground river suddenly burst open. A giant yellow python-like beastkin of 3 meters came out from underground. Its body was full of giant scales, and there was a pair of curved horns on its head.

"Earth-burrowing dragon!" A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Ming's eyes.

The earth-burrowing dragon had a somewhat thin ancient dragon bloodline. It was a very rare earth attribute beastkin. It usually lurked deep underground and could travel freely, so it was usually difficult to see its true face.

Judging from the size of this earth-burrowing dragon, it was at the Real Pellet State early stage.

After the earth-burrowing dragon emerged from the ground, its 2 slender eyes on its sleek head seemed to be in a panic. It flew in the direction where Liu Ming was while looking behind from time to time.

Behind the earth-burrowing dragon, a more powerful wave of spiritual power chased after it. The ground trembled violently again, then an even larger gigantic centipede Hellish-Insect came out.

This Hellish-Insect had a red beard and black carapace. Its eyes were bloody. Its body had circles of scythes and giant feet. It exuded the powerful spiritual pressure of the Real Pellet State later stage. No wonder the earth-burrowing dragon would be running like this.

Liu Ming exclaimed in his mind, because the earth-burrowing dragon was running toward him.

The earth-burrowing dragon was covered in wounds at the moment. Its scales were shattered, and its eyes were bloodshot. When the centipede Hellish-Insect appeared, it let out a terrified cry and swam forward quickly. At the same time, it turned around and shot a dazzling yellow light at the centipede Hellish-Insect.

Although the centipede Hellish-Insect was huge, its movements were extremely flexible. It twisted and dodged the yellow light, then it spurted a green liquid.

The earth-burrowing dragon seemed to be extremely afraid of this green liquid as it immediately hid under the water.

However, it was still a bit slower. The green liquid hit its tail extremely quickly, making a creaking sound. A rotten smell immediately spread out.

The earth-burrowing dragon screamed in pain. It fell heavily into the dark river, splashing a huge amount of water.

How could the centipede Hellish-Insect miss such a good opportunity, it came above the earth-burrowing dragon and swiped its countless scythe-like forelimbs swiped forward. Dense black wind blades rained toward the earth-burrowing dragon.

Although the earth-burrowing dragon was injured, it did not completely lose its strength to move. The countless scales suddenly opened and closed, and a layer of yellow light curtain emerged.

The black wind blades collided with the yellow light curtain, making a crisp sound.

The light curtain flashed wildly, but it finally blocked all the black wind blades.

The violent spiritual power shock set off a huge wave on the underground river. A dark brown wood was crushed into several segments.

In the turbulent water, a vague figure appeared faintly.

The centipede Hellish-Insect was about to chase the earth-burrowing dragon, but it caught a glimpse of the figure with its peripheral vision. It roared and attacked the figure in midair.
