Chapter 540 Strange Aura
Han Li's guest room is fairly spacious, with the size of two rooms in an ordinary house, divided into two rooms inside and outside.
The inner room is a bedroom with a bed for resting, while the outer room has a mahogany table and a blue-gray futon.
There are some spiritual fruits on the table that are not of high quality, but the smell is very sweet and attractive.
As soon as he entered the room, a golden light flashed on Han Li's hand, and the ring quickly turned into a golden beetle. It flew down from his fingers with a flutter of wings, and after landing on the futon, it immediately turned into a golden beetle. A pink girl in a red jacket.
The golden boy who turned into a human figure immediately locked his eyes on the spiritual fruit on the desk, stretched out one hand like lightning, and when he retracted, he was already holding an oval spiritual fruit covered with golden particles, and bit it down. A fruity fragrance immediately spread out, filling the whole room.
"Uncle, why...you didn't let me show up just now...that guy surnamed Shi and I are quite able to chat." She muttered vaguely while chewing the pulp.
"This person's aura is somewhat like that of a monster, but it is different. I can't see through it without using the eye of truth. But he has already seen that you have turned into a ring on my hand, but he still asks knowingly. It's really puzzling." Han Li said thoughtfully.
"Uncle, are you saying that this guy has evil intentions?" Jin Tong stopped his movements and asked with some doubts.
"I can't see this for the time being, but if you are away from home, you can save as much trouble as possible." Han Li said with a smile.
"It's fine if we really have evil intentions, we can..." After hearing this, Jin Tong suddenly smiled, showing a thief-like expression, and said.
Seeing this, Han Li suddenly felt a little speechless.
He was about to speak a few words to Jin Tong to tell her not to provoke trouble, but suddenly his movements froze and his expression changed slightly.
"What's the matter, uncle?" Jin Tong was no stranger to Han Li's actions, and he knew what was wrong, so he hurriedly asked.
"Just now there seemed to be a very powerful aura that locked onto the ferry, but it disappeared in just a moment. Did you notice it?" Han Li frowned slightly and asked.
"This..." Before Jin Fairy could finish speaking, Han Li interrupted.
"It's coming again." Han Li pressed the air with one hand and said.
Hearing the words, Jin Tong hurriedly held his breath to concentrate, but he only caught a faint trace.
"Xiaobai, do you feel it?" She asked late.
The white jade pendant hanging on Han Li's waist remained motionless without making a sound.
"If you don't fight for three days, you're about to rebel. How dare I pretend not to hear my fairy's question?" Jin Tong immediately put his hands on his hips and said angrily.
"Boss, I didn't say anything on purpose, I was really afraid of embarrassing you. In fact, I discovered it the first time." The white jade Pixiu's body lit up, and he spoke out.
"So, you are better than me?" Jin Tong raised his eyebrows.
"No, no. I was born in the wilderness, so I'm naturally more sensitive to the breath of wild creatures." Bai Yu Pixiu quickly explained.
"Can you identify the source of this breath?" Han Li asked with a thought.
"Although I was born in the wilderness realm, I should have been captured by the wilderness hunter monks not long after I was born. I was exiled in the various fairylands early on, and finally fell into the hands of Gong Shujiu. He told me. Therefore, I don't know the situation in the wild area, I can only detect but cannot distinguish this aura." Bai Yu Pixiu continued to explain.
Just when Han Li was about to speak, that vague aura enveloped the ferry again.
"You stay here." After he told the golden boy, his figure flashed, and he went out of the door and went straight to the bow deck.
After arriving on the deck, Han Li found that there were very few passengers on board, and there were only about 20 people chatting together in small groups. All of them looked relaxed, obviously not aware of this aura at all.
On the other side of the deck, he saw a familiar purple figure, Shi Chuankong was standing there.
At this moment, he had a strange expression on his face, and he was looking around.
When he saw Han Li, he was taken aback for a moment, then the corner of his mouth twitched, revealing a knowing smile.
Han Li immediately nodded politely, then turned and returned to the cabin.
After repeating it three times, that powerful aura finally disappeared and never appeared again.
However, Han Li's spirit, which had been tense all this time, did not relax at all. On the contrary, as time went by, his heart of vigilance increased day by day.
...
Time flies, it is more than five months later.
Sailing on the sandy sea was safe and sound, and he was about to reach the barbaric continent.
Early in the morning, the slightly cold morning wind kept blowing from the barbaric continent. Han Li stood at the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing blue, and he looked into the distance through the light curtain covering the ship. At the end, you can vaguely see a little green color, which seems to be an oasis.
Nearly a hundred people had gathered on the bow deck, all of whom were eager to disembark and board the barren continent.
"Uncle, are you still worried about that?" Jin Tong asked as he stood beside Han Li, imitating Han Li's appearance and standing with his hands behind his back.
"No, after thinking about the wild land, how should I go...Compared with the map I bought before, and the route map Jiao San gave me, there are still many discrepancies. I think it's because I didn't promise her to really join the Hall of Reincarnation , so the line she gave me is not the one that is really safe, at least...not the complete one." Han Li smiled at her, shook his head lightly, and said.
"Uncle, aren't you tired of thinking so much all day long? At worst, let's find a route by ourselves!" Jin Tong said with a smile on his face.
"Look, what's that?"
At this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded from the crowd.
"Look over there, something is coming..." Immediately afterwards, one after another screamed.
Han Li raised his eyes and saw a long black line on the distant horizon expanding rapidly like a tide, spreading towards this side. In the tide, he could clearly see strange and pale giants. human face.
Behind that giant face, followed by a huge black body, with dense side limbs growing on the sides, a thick and huge scorpion tail bundled high, and a crescent-shaped hook tail hanging from the end, shining with a cold light .
"That's... a human-faced scorpion..." Someone finally recognized the thing and exclaimed in surprise.
Among the strange beasts living in the sea of sand, the human-faced scorpions were not very powerful, but they were terrifying in that they were in huge numbers. Once a wave of beasts formed and attacked them overwhelmingly, even a true immortal cultivator would have difficulty resisting them.
"What are you panicking..." At this moment, a powerful voice came from the top of the building.
The monk of the City Lord's Mansion who was in charge of escorting the boat stood there leaning on the railing, his eyes were calm, he looked unruffled and imposing, and he suppressed the panic on the boat at once.
"It's just a group of human-faced scorpions. This number is not enough to overturn the ferry. Everyone take care of themselves and don't get bumped out. Once they fall overboard, my City Lord's Mansion will not save them." The escort said coldly.
Hearing the words, everyone on the boat felt that their cultivation was superficial, and quickly moved away from the railings on both sides of the ferry, for fear that they would fall out of the ferry if they didn't pay attention, and some simply turned around and went back to the cabin.
Han Li turned a deaf ear to his words, his eyes still fixed on the black tide.
"In addition to the human-faced scorpion, there are other things mixed in." Han Li frowned slightly and said.
The golden boy also climbed onto the railing of the boat, stood on it, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.
Below the densely packed black shadows, the yellow sand fluctuated up and down, constantly shaking, and it was obvious that there was something moving fast below.
"It's coming." Han Li hugged Jin Tong off the railing and said in a low voice.
The tide of black scorpions surged across the sky and covered the sky, and soon blocked the way of the ferry.
I saw black human-faced scorpions about the size of green bulls climbing layers upon layers, stacking each other, and actually piled up a black hill at an extremely fast speed, blocking the front of the ferry.
"Hey, something's not quite right..." Seeing this, the escort looked hesitant and murmured.
Such a large-scale wave of scorpions was indeed rare in the past, but it was not unheard of. But in the past, all the scorpions swarmed up to attack the ferry like a sea tide. How could it be like today... in an orderly manner?
Before he could figure it out, the ferry had crashed heavily into the "Black Mountain".
There was a dull sound of "bang".
The ferry shook violently, its forward momentum suddenly slowed down, and the yellow light curtain covering the outside suddenly burst into light.
Immediately afterwards, the various runes engraved on the body of the boat also lit up, and after the ferry slowed down, it suddenly accelerated and directly knocked the black hill away.
In the void, the sound of "cracking" continued, all of which were the sound of the human face scorpion bone breaking and cracking.
After everyone on the boat tried their best to stabilize their figures, they all applauded.
Holding the golden boy with one hand, Han Li stretched out half of his body to the outside of the ferry, and looked towards the sandy sea below.
I saw the vast yellow sand undulating, densely packed with strange beasts the size of ordinary domestic dogs that looked like maggots, their whole body was earthy yellow, only a little pink was exposed in the gaps in the layers of flesh.
"No, there are still sand beasts below, eating the hull of the ship..." Han Li quickly recognized these things, and immediately shouted loudly.
When everyone heard the sound, they were all shocked, and they all lay down on the side of the boat rail and looked down.
I saw that the metal coat covering the hull was covered with wriggling sand beasts, the surface was already riddled with holes, and what was even worse was that several of them were obviously twice the size of the normal ones. The sand beast was gnawing frantically on the keel at the front of the ferry.
These strange beasts have almost no facial features. If it weren't for the large round mouth full of sharp teeth on the head, it would be difficult to tell which end is the head and which end is the tail.
