r than Luo Qian, the power emanating from the Dan Yuan artifact wasn't much different from Luo Qian's. Besides using the Dan Yuan artifact, his power was even slightly weaker than Luo Qian, this thund...To actually have such an odd taboo, it's unheard of.

Lu Xia Tian didn't expect this lost land would have such strange peculiarities. 。There's no time to think about it now, just escape first and talk later. 。We can't rely on flying and there are no other options for now. 。Lu Xiaoteng's face was a little unsightly, but he wasn't too panicked. He calmed down and, with a focused mind, Lu Xiaoteng used his light body technique. With a burst of speed, he ran away, as light as a swallow, taking several zhang in each step. 。The trees moved swiftly backward, even just the initial level of Wind Manipulation technique, its speed was extremely astonishing. This low-level black beetle couldn't keep up at all. 。Just a short distance away, Lu Xia Tian felt a chill run down his spine. Several mountain peaks nearby were swarming with these black beetles; it was an understatement to say they were everywhere. 。Now there is another strange taboo, which I'm afraid ordinary human cultivators will probably be unable to avoid except for those with wings like demons. 。Just now he thought that with his speed, he could escape. But he didn't expect to be surrounded by these black beetles. He shook off just a part of them, but ran headfirst into another group. In this dense forest, he had no idea where to run. 。Lu Xia tian directly cast a common earthen wall technique, blocking the black beetles that swept in front of him. He quickly dashed to the left. 。A mere earthen wall could not hold back the black beetles for long. In just a few breaths, more of them swarmed out from the sides of the wall. Had it been even a moment later, the beetles would have surged over the ten-foot-high wall like a tidal wave. 。However, this did give Lu Xia Tian a moment to catch his breath. And this basic spell was something Lu Xia Tian could cast with ease, almost instantaneously. It didn't delay him at all. Several earth wall spells blocked the opponent's attack, and Lu Xia Tian followed up with several fireballs, burning a path through the tide of black armored insects ahead of him. In the blink of an eye, he broke free from the encirclement formed by the black armored insects. 。

However, some other monsters and beasts didn't have Lu Xiaoteng's abilities.

A piercing scream echoed through the air

There are other human cultivators here. Lu Xiaoteng heard the sound and looked over, only to see a group of more than ten cultivators running for their lives in terror.

The person who let out a scream is now covered in black beetles. 。The opponent stumbled and crashed a few steps, then staggered to the ground, struggling painfully in the tide of black beetles until there was no sound. 。So many black beetles, I'm afraid even his group attack skill Ice Soul Xuan Yin wouldn't be effective. 。The dozen or so fleeing cultivators had no blood on their faces, apparently the terrifying scene before them had completely shattered their courage. They originally didn't have time to care about Lu Xia Tian escaping alongside them. 。Although Lu Xiaoteng's hastily cast low-level spells lacked offensive power, they unexpectedly managed to fend off the black armored beetles. Several quick-witted cultivators noticed this and, subtly shifted closer to Lu Xiaoteng. 。This kind of maintaining adjustment's running around consuming mana is also not small. 。And all around, the mountains and fields were swarming with black beetles. Even if they were faster than the black beetles, when running away, they were aimless. Perhaps there was a large group of black beetles ahead. In this situation, they could only fight their way out. 。Although Lu Xiaitian's spells didn't seem particularly powerful, they proved quite effective in this crucial moment. 。They charged their way through, narrowly escaping the black beetle's incomplete encirclement several times. They had expended a considerable amount of mana in the process. Those with weaker abilities were disregarded and even feared for holding them back. When they encountered those with stronger abilities, they tried to conserve as much mana as possible. In this situation, it was natural to save every bit of it. 。If he exerted himself even slightly more, he would probably be finished. 。Lu Xia Tian's face turned ugly. Several black beetles blocked his path, forcing him to change direction. Although he was a peak sixth-rank body cultivator, even his magic weapon couldn't break through their fleshly defense. 。But a martial artist's defenses are not equal across their entire body. Against such black armor, the nose, ear holes, and eyes are all weak points. 。And these guys were practically unkillable. Even if he was caught in the midst of them, he risked being destroyed. 。A dozen or so escaping cultivators, in the blink of an eye, two more were swallowed by the surging black tide. 。“We can’t go on like this, if we keep going at this rate, I’m afraid none of us will escape.” 。"I'm fighting these animals to the death," one bald, burly man roared angrily, his blood surging. His legs felt like lead, and he slowed to a crawl. He didn't even want to run anymore. 。As a cultivator of earth magic, and with the techniques he practiced, his forte was not speed. 。Now, on all sides, there is almost no hope of escape. Whether it's a demon beast or a cultivator, anyone swept up in this black wave has little chance of survival. Along the way, he has seen at least dozens of cultivators die from exhaustion and be devoured alive by the black beetles right before his eyes. Under the rolling tide of black beetles, not even their bones can be found. 。The bald strong man was furious. Thinking about what would happen to him once his magic ran out, he decided that it was better to die fighting than to suffer a worse fate later on. 。

A bald strong man roared, his whole body flashed with a bright yellow light, and a piece of earthen armor wrapped around him at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a pair of eyes observing the surroundings.

The copper bowl-sized fist smashed down, the ground erupting in a violent explosion. Hundreds or even thousands of black armored figures were shattered to pieces in the blast. 。

"Hi!" The bald strong man pushed his hands forward, and a giant air blade formed of earthy-yellow light shot forward, like a gigantic curved knife slashing ahead.

As soon as the black armored beetles came into contact with the yellow energy blades, they were split in half. In fact, with the black armored beetles' strength, they couldn't even block them. The burly man cleared a small patch of space in front of him, but single-handedly, under this situation, it was like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water. 。< More black beetles surged forward > 。"Damn it, run!" A thin, black-clad elder with wide eyes slapped a bald strongman, sending only a gust of wind that blew most of the black beetles swarming towards him away. The thin elder reached out his finger like a hook, grabbed the bald strongman, and ran again, while a slightly weaker, chubby middle-aged man, having no one to rescue him, exhausted his magic and was engulfed by the surging black beetles. It was clear that these people had already fled for quite a long distance before this. 。Though there were many, they were still powerful. Lu XiaTian thought for a moment, then gathered with the remaining eleven people. These people were only focused on escaping and had no time to care about Lu XiaTian. In fact, they didn't know most of the people in the group, they had only escaped together during this disaster. 。 Lu Xiaotian sensed someone's presence, she remained oblivious until they passed right under her nose.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!“There’s a Water-attribute Golde...
