Chapter 1618: Locust Tribe, Emperor Saint
"Why is that?"
Lin Fan looked puzzled.
Bai Zhong smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you don't know that there are many strong men entering the Dark Forest now."
"Their target is the treasure guarded by the king of the Dark Spirit Beast."
"So, the entire Dark Forest is full of killing. Any immortal who enters it will be attacked by the Dark Spirit Beasts of varying degrees."
"Don't mention that you are only in the early stage of the Golden Immortal. Even if you are in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal, it is more dangerous to enter the Dark Forest."
Lin Fan's interest increased when he heard this.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I don't know much about the Dark Forest. You just said that the king of the Dark Spirit Beast guards the treasure, and countless strong men are rushing for the treasure guarded by the Dark Spirit Beast. I wonder what that treasure is?"
"A replica of a Taoist weapon, the Taixu Chaos Bell!"
"It turned out to be this thing?"
Lin Fan looked shocked.
Taixu Chaos Bell!
This is a famous Taoist weapon.
It is extremely powerful.
Especially the sound wave attack from the Taixu Chaos Bell, which can instantly kill a strong man in the Immortal Saint Realm.
In the Dark Forest, the Taixu Chaos Bell guarded by the King of Dark Spirit Fairy Beasts is only a replica, but it has 50% of the attack power of the original.
If someone in the Daluo Jinxian Realm gets this thing.
In the Daluo Jinxian Realm, he definitely has the strength to walk sideways.
"I didn't expect that there are so many natural treasures outside the underground palace."
"But, the Taixu Chaos Bell is too powerful. There must be many strong people who are eyeing this thing."
"Just as you said, Fellow Daoist Bai. Even if I am in the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian, I will be in danger of death if I fight for the Taixu Chaos Bell."
"However, I only plan to hunt some dark spirit fairy beasts outside the Dark Forest and collect their inner elixir and demon souls. This should not be difficult, right?"
Lin Fan thought for a while and then said.
Bai Zhong saw that he could not persuade Lin Fan, and he smiled bitterly.
"Hey, since you said so, I will accompany you. However, you must not go deep into the dark forest. Otherwise, you will be in big trouble." Bai Zhong reminded.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
"If so, please wait a moment, I will take you there after I recover my immortal power."
Bai Zhong agreed, sat on the ground, and began to refine the immortal pill and replenish his immortal power.
Seeing this, Lan Lan came to Lin Fan's side.
Her lips moved slightly, and she sent a voice message to Lin Fan directly.
"Husband, are we really going to the dark forest?"
"Lan'er, you don't know that the dark spirit fairy beasts and demon souls in the dark forest are of great benefit to my life treasure Xuanlao Yinhunsha. I will go there to hunt some dark spirit fairy beasts and collect demon souls, which should not be dangerous." Lin Fan said.
"If that's the case, I'm relieved. My husband, the replica of the Taixu Chaos Bell has a great reputation, but it's not worth risking your life for it. Please think twice."
"Haha, with Lan'er by my side to remind me all the time, I won't make this mistake."
Lin Fan chuckled.
After about a meal, Bai Zhong finally replenished the immortal power consumed in his body.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, let's go. It will take another seven or eight days to get to the Dark Forest."
While speaking, Bai Zhong immediately led the way.
Although everyone encountered some monsters that actively attacked along the way.
But these monsters were only in the Golden Immortal Realm.
Facing Lin Fan and the other two, they were killed in a matter of minutes.
After only five or six days, when the three were about to approach the Dark Forest, Lin Fan, who was moving forward, suddenly stopped.
This made Bai Zhong and Lan Lan's expressions change slightly at the same time.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, what's wrong?"
"There are people fighting ahead, and it's very intense. They seem to be late Daluo Jinxian." Lin Fan said casually.
Bai Zhong looked puzzled.
When he pushed his mind to the extreme and still didn't find any problems, he looked at Lin Fan with a hint of doubt.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, even I didn't notice the danger ahead, but you can clearly know what happened ahead. Could it be that your mind is comparable to that of a late Daluo Jinxian?"
"I'm an alchemist, and my mind is stronger than that of an ordinary Daluo Jinxian. This is normal." Lin Fan smiled.
Bai Zhong nodded.
After the three of them walked forward cautiously for half an hour, Bai Zhong's expression finally changed slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are right. There are indeed people fighting ahead. However, judging from the magical powers he displayed, it seems to be the Royal Saint of the Locust Clan. As for the other person, I don't know."
"Locust Clan? Royal Saint?"
Lin Fan looked puzzled.
Seeing this, Bai Zhong hurriedly explained: "Fellow Daoist Lin, the Emperor of the Locust Tribe is not simple. It is said that he is the first person under the Immortal Saint of the Locust Tribe. His fighting power is very strong."
"Especially the Locust Formation he arranged, which has the power to kill a powerful Daluo Jinxian in the late stage."
"But, I don't know why the Emperor of the Locust Tribe appeared at the edge of the Dark Forest and fought with others."
Lin Fan listened to Bai Zhong's explanation while paying attention to the movement in the distance.
At this moment, he saw the battle between the Emperor of the Locust Tribe and others in the distance clearly.
At the edge of the Dark Forest, a young woman in a black robe stood proudly.
In her hand, a slender black sword was tightly grasped.
The cold face was covered by a black veil.
Even though only a pair of eyes were exposed at this moment, people could still see that this woman was absolutely stunning.
Under the black robe, the woman's slender legs were extremely straight, and her smooth and elastic skin was as white as snow.
Facing the Emperor of the Locust Tribe, she was not afraid.
Every time she attacked, although it seemed to be understated.
But it made the Emperor tremble with fear.
There were even several times when the Emperor was caught by the opponent and was almost killed directly.
These details were clearly perceived by Lin Fan's mind.
But at this moment, Lin Fan had no intention of leaving immediately.
Standing quietly in place, he continued to stare at the battle in the distance.
The woman who confronted the Emperor attacked several times in a row. When she saw that she failed to kill the Emperor, her expression suddenly became indifferent.
The long sword in her hand was thrown into the void at a high speed.
Buzz!
A sharp sword sound rang between heaven and earth.
I saw that thousands of sword shadows suddenly bloomed in the originally intact void.
Like blooming fireworks, they spread out in the void.
Not long after, the crisscrossing sword energy suddenly gathered together and slashed towards the Emperor Saint below.
Puff!
The Emperor Saint was unable to dodge and was directly hit by several sword energies. He screamed and fled madly.
But the female cultivator had no intention of chasing.
Controlling the sword energy, it fell to the ground at a rapid speed.
Only a series of piercing puffs were heard, and the corpses of spirit insects about the size of a foot emerged rapidly from under the ground.
They turned out to be huge locusts.
These locusts were covered with a layer of silvery shells.
They were extremely hard.
But under the attack of the woman's sword energy, they had no attack power at all.
They were easily pierced through the body by the sword energy.
Seeing this, Lin Fan's expression changed drastically.
"Retreat quickly!"
As he spoke, he flashed and flew away with Lan Lan.
Seeing this, Bai Zhong ran faster.
In a flash, he rushed to Lin Fan and Lan Lan.
However, Lin Fan did not hesitate. After performing the Thunder Escape Technique, he disappeared in the void in a few flashes.
In the distance, the woman seemed to have noticed the presence of Lin Fan and the other two.
Her beautiful eyes looked into the distance, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Three ants, they run quite fast."
"Especially that guy in the early stage of Daluo Jinxian, his mind is comparable to that of the late stage of Daluo Jinxian."
"Haha, if there is a chance, I will catch him and present him to the king, and the king will be very happy."
The woman smiled sweetly.
Her figure flashed and disappeared quickly.
The target was actually the Emperor Shengjun.
...
In the void, Lin Fan's speed was getting faster and faster.
After performing several waves of Thunder Escape Techniques in succession, he was completely relieved after confirming that there was no strong enemy chasing him.
"It seems that the Dark Forest is indeed full of dangers."
"I haven't even entered the depths of the Dark Forest yet, and I've encountered a battle between two powerful late-stage Daluo Jinxian masters."
"Fortunately we escaped quickly, otherwise it would be quite dangerous."
Lin Fan muttered secretly.
At this moment, Lan Lan's voice rang from Lin Fan's ears.
"Husband, are we just going to give up like this?"
"Give up?"
Lin Fan frowned.
After hesitating for a long time, he immediately said: "Giving up is naturally impossible. However, the situation has changed now. We must also make changes. I will contact Bai Daoyou and change the direction to approach the Dark Forest."
While Lin Fan was speaking, he took out a formation plate, determined Bai Zhong's position, and rushed over quickly.
After discussing for a while, the two immediately changed direction.
After deliberately making a big circle, they approached the Dark Forest.
Buzz!
The sky around them darkened instantly.
In the dense forest, ancient trees are towering, miasma is everywhere, insects and beasts are everywhere, and it is extremely dangerous.
Even standing at the edge of the Dark Forest, it was frightening.
"Is this the Dark Forest? The fairy air here is mottled."
"If you stay in such a place for a long time, the mottled fairy air here will definitely pollute your soul."
"At the least, your soul will be damaged, and at the worst, you will be confused and fall into a state of madness."
"I want to collect the souls of the dark spirit beasts, and I can't let them penetrate too much into the Dark Forest."
After Lin Fan reminded himself, he walked forward slowly.
Seeing this, Lan Lan followed without hesitation.
Only Bai Zhong stood there for a long time.
After Lin Fan and Lan Lan entered the depths of the Dark Forest, he made sure that Lin Fan and Lan Lan were not in any danger, and then he walked in.
Buzz!
Lin Fan's mind spread rapidly.
The clear and bright spiritual eyes also opened rapidly.
In an instant, everything around him was completely seen by Lin Fan.
Especially those spiritual insects with high realms hiding underground, which were seen clearly by Lin Fan.
"Lan'er, follow me closely. Don't rush into this place. If you take a wrong step, you will get yourself into trouble."
Lin Fan warned Lan Lan.
Lan Lan quickly closed the distance between herself and Lin Fan.
Along the way, Lan An was cautious and only dared to follow Lin Fan's footsteps.
After waiting for only an hour, Lin Fan finally encountered the first batch of dark spirit beasts.
