Chapter 542: Desolate Marsh Bone Mountain

This scene happened so suddenly and unbelievably that Han Li was stunned. Then, surprise flashed in his eyes as he realized why he hadn't sensed these blue-haired monsters lurking here earlier.

Several monsters burrowed into the ground and fled into the distance at an astonishing speed.

Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't make any move.

Although the blue-haired monsters' concealment technique was mysterious, he could still vaguely sense them. However, he didn't intend to chase after them.

Jin Tong's little face was full of anger, but she was not good at sensing. She turned her head to look at Han Li. Although she didn't speak, her intention to ask was obvious.

"Let them go," Han Li shook his head and said slowly.

"Why not chase them?" Jin Tong said somewhat unwillingly.

"These blue-haired monsters are not ordinary desolate beasts. They should be from a nearby desolate alien race. Blindly chasing them may not be worth the loss," Han Li said.

"Just these blue-haired monkeys, I wouldn't care even if there were ten times more!" Jin Tong raised her little fist and hummed with dissatisfaction.

"Never underestimate these desolate alien races. Many clans are incredibly powerful, and most of these alien races worship desolate true spirits like the sand beast before. Their strength is difficult to fathom. Our purpose is to cross the desolate wilderness. Finding treasures is just a side quest. Don't cause unnecessary trouble," Han Li said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Jin Tong recalled the strength of the giant sand beast, and her expression changed slightly. She didn't say anything more.

"Master, I didn't expect you to know so much about the desolate wilderness," Pi Xiu said lazily.

"Since we'll be surviving in this desolate wilderness for quite some time, we naturally have to know ourselves and our enemy as much as possible," Han Li smiled and said.

He hadn't actually learned much about the desolate wilderness in Yuanhuang City. He finally obtained some valuable information after offering a high reward in the Unpredictable Alliance.

"Let's go. These desolate alien races are very hostile to desolate hunting cultivators. They suffered a loss this time, and I'm afraid a large group of people will come soon," Han Li glanced around and said again.

"How boring. Uncle, I'm a little sleepy. Call me when there's something fun!"

Jin Tong yawned listlessly. With a shake, she turned into a golden light and landed on Han Li's finger, turning into a golden ring as the light converged.

Han Li made a hand seal, and the Emerald Flying Carriage glowed, continuing to fly forward.

To avoid the blue-haired alien races from chasing after him, he didn't slowly look for treasures in the following journey. Instead, he activated the shielding restriction and went full speed, quickly leaving the white mist mountain range.

After flying away from the mountain range, the terrain ahead suddenly became flat. Soon, a slightly dim forest appeared in front of him.

From afar, most of the trees in this forest were gray-black, and the branches and leaves were dense. Even though it was daytime, the forest was still dark, giving people a sense of coldness and unpredictability.

Seeing this, Han Li frowned slightly, but still drove the Emerald Flying Carriage into the forest.

"Huh, something's strange. The spiritual energy in this forest is quite dense, but there's not much aura of spiritual materials," Pi Xiu suddenly said after flying for a while.

Han Li's expression was slightly condensed. His divine sense had been sensing the surrounding situation, and he had also detected that this place was quite strange.

Not only were there few spiritual herbs in the dark forest below, but there was also no aura of desolate beasts.

Although this place looked a bit strange, Han Li didn't pay too much attention to it. If there was no danger here, he could just speed up the flying carriage and move forward.

"Huh, such a powerful spiritual power fluctuation, and such a rich aura. Master, I sense that there should be something good in the left front, something extraordinary!" After flying for half a day, Pi Xiu suddenly stood up, his eyes shining brightly.

Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed across Han Li's face. After a little consideration, he still urged the magic formula, causing the Emerald Flying Carriage to fly towards the left front.

A moment later, a dead black mud swamp appeared in front of them.

No grass grew in the swamp, and there was black mud everywhere, emitting a rotten smell. From time to time, a large bubble would emerge from the mud, burst open, and rise up a cloud of purple-black miasma.

"Pi Xiu, are you saying there are treasures here?" Han Li frowned slightly and asked.

With his divine sense sweeping across, the spiritual energy in this area was even thinner than in the forest. Not to mention heaven and earth spiritual materials, he couldn't even sense the slightest aura of living beings.

"There's no mistake, it's in the depths of the swamp! Don't forget my contribution if you find something good this time!" Pi Xiu said decisively after wiggling his nose.

"Then let's go take a look," Han Li said, seemingly still a little skeptical, but he still urged the flying carriage to continue moving forward.

After flying for a while, his expression suddenly changed, and he stopped the Emerald Flying Carriage with a magic formula.

The purple-black miasma in the swamp below this place was extremely dense, condensing into a thick layer above the swamp, making it extremely dark here, like night.

Han Li didn't care about these miasma. He urged the flying carriage to fall down and stopped more than ten feet above the swamp, his brow furrowed.

Lying in the black mud under his feet were skeletons, mostly rotten, but one could still see that they were the bones of various monsters.

These monster skeletons were of various sizes, the smallest being tens of feet long, and the largest being hundreds of feet long.

Not only under his feet, but also in front of him, the same was true, stretching to the end of his vision. In such a dark environment, they emitted a faint white light, making them even more eerie.

Pi Xiu seemed to be startled by the scene in front of him, and didn't dare to speak again. He just turned his head slightly and glanced at Han Li.

Han Li's expression didn't change much. After a moment of pause, he urged the flying carriage forward.

The further he went, the more monster skeletons there were in the swamp, almost covering the swamp. Later on, he couldn't even see the black mud anymore, and the temperature around him dropped sharply.

"Is it still ahead?" Han Li suddenly asked.

"Ma... Master, it should be ahead, but this place is a little scary. Why don't we... forget about it..." Pi Xiu said, lying on the ground motionless, humming.

"I hope your hunch is right," Han Li said.

Since he had already come here, he was naturally unwilling to retreat like this. Based on past experience, there were always alien beasts guarding near the rare treasures, which was understandable. However, this beast should not be easy to deal with, and it had some very clever means of hiding its aura, making it impossible for him to figure out the other party's depth until now.

However, from the current feeling the desolate wilderness gave him, it seemed that with his current cultivation, even if he encountered any danger, he should be able to protect himself. If there was anything he couldn't match, he could just leave.

Han Li's mind was racing. He continued to silently urge the flying carriage to fly forward, but secretly increased his vigilance and slowed down his speed a lot.

After proceeding for a while, he retracted the magic formula and stopped the flying carriage.

This place was already in the depths of the swamp. The number of skeletons here was astonishing, and they were piled up into huge bone mountains all around.

In addition, the size of the skeletons here was much larger than what he had seen along the way. Giant skeletons the size of mountains were everywhere, stacked on top of each other.

This scene made Han Li's heart tighten.

"Master, the treasure is over there!" Pi Xiu suddenly said, raising his hand and pointing forward.

Between two huge bone mountains a few miles away, there was a patch of emerald green pool water, several feet in size, and the pool water was crystal clear.

In the center of the pool grew a golden lotus, as big as a washbasin. This lotus had nine petals, and although each petal was golden, the shades were different, but the combination did not feel discordant at all.

Nine golden rainbows of varying shades appeared above the lotus, shining and dazzling.

Han Li's heart stirred, and he quickly urged the flying carriage to fly over.

While there were still hundreds of feet away, an incomparably rich fragrance emanated from the golden lotus. Han Li only smelled it, and his whole body felt comfortable, and several immortal apertures in his body showed signs of opening.

Seeing this, he was both surprised and delighted.

Although he didn't recognize what this golden lotus was, he knew it was a supreme spiritual object just by the fragrance.

Han Li was about to fly over for a closer look when, at that moment, an unexpected change occurred. A cry that pierced through the clouds suddenly came from the distant sky.

The cry made his soul tremble and his body sway.

However, Han Li's divine sense was extremely powerful, and he immediately stabilized his body, but the expression on his face changed.

The sky above suddenly darkened, and a black giant beast appeared in mid-air.

This beast was extremely huge, no less than the giant sand beast he had encountered in the sand sea. It was shaped like a dragon, covered in huge black scales, each tens of feet in size. Several huge black bone spurs grew on its head, each hundreds of feet long, and the four huge dragon claws under its body covered the sky.

The black dragon's huge eyes stared at the golden lotus, full of greed, but then its eyes turned and fell on Han Li, who was still on the flying carriage, and a fierce light flashed in its eyes.

"Ah, Master, I... I'm also a little sleepy!" Pi Xiu exclaimed, and then a white light flashed around him, and he immediately turned into a pendant, appearing on Han Li's waist.

A golden light flashed on Han Li, and he was about to take action.

With a "whoosh", a gust of hot wind suddenly blew up, and the huge dragon tail swept down.

Han Li only felt the surrounding air tense, and a blur in front of his eyes. The huge dragon tail was already in front of him. A terrifying pressure that could tear the sky apart surged like a landslide.

His expression changed, and he quickly waved his hand, and three Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords shot out, and in a flash, they turned into three Azure Giant Swords, blocking in front of him in a cross.

Before Han Li could react, the black dragon tail struck the three giant swords.

With a "bang", there was a deafening loud noise!

The three Azure Giant Swords shook violently, and most of the Azure sword light on the surface was scattered. The three swords that were originally crossed were also scattered, flying in three directions.

Fortunately, the power of this tail was blocked.

Taking advantage of this gap, Han Li secretly cried out in pain. At the same time, he hurriedly urged the Emerald Flying Carriage to shoot backwards, avoiding the aftershock of the impact. At the same time, he waved his hand to recall the three Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords.

The strength of this black dragon seems to be even stronger than the giant sand beast back then!
