Peerless War God

"Squeak squeak."    

In the sky, the berserk mosquitoes let out sharp and chaotic cries.    

Following that, hundreds of mosquitoes broke away from the group and pounced towards the forest below, wanting to chase after Chen Xiao and attack him relentlessly.    

When Chen Xiao, who was hiding underground, saw this, he was so scared that his mouth was crooked. "This bunch of beasts are quite bold. They really dare to continue chasing after us."    

Xilo exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and forced himself to calm down. He said, "Keep your aura under control and don't move around. Let these mosquitoes scout the way for us."    

"That's good."    

At that moment, Chen Xiao's face turned serious as he set up a simple barrier to isolate all auras and movements.    

At the same time, he carefully let Hei Zi out of the beast bag.    

"Woof."    

The moment Hei Zi came out, he first took a breath of air and wagged his tail at Chen Xiao with an excited expression.    

Chen Xiao put his index finger in front of his lips and said, "Shh."    

"..." Hei Zi quickly shut his mouth and stared at his surroundings with widened eyes. He sniffed his nose as if he had smelled something.    

Suddenly, Hei Zi's eyes widened as he shouted in a direction.    

"Woof, woof, woof."    

Chen Xiao and Xilo looked at each other in surprise. Xilo turned into a small person and appeared on Chen Xiao's shoulder. He asked, "What happened to you?"    

"Yes, Master," Hei Zi said.    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao became extremely nervous, "Is it far from here?"    

Hei Zi shook his head, "Not far."    

Hiss ~    

As soon as these words came out, Chen Xiao took a cold breath in, feeling very horrified.    

Almost at the same time, the ancient mosquitoes rushed into the forest and flew towards the ground, following the smell and searching for traces of Chen Xiao inch by inch.    

Suddenly, a terrifying sound was heard, like the sound of a whip lashing the air. It was very crisp and spread far away.    

"Squeak."    

An ancient mosquito screamed miserably, and then it stopped.    

Then there was a second, a third... ten more mosquitoes died in the forest.    

Immediately, the ancient mosquitoes that had rushed into the forest scattered crazily, escaping the forest and no longer daring to approach.    

"That is?"    

Chen Xiao was shocked. He looked towards the source of the sound and saw a terrifying beast lying on the ground beside a muddy pond. Its entire body was emerald green and almost merged with the forest. It was more than a hundred feet long and was a terrifying lizard demon.    

The lizard demon had two purple poisonous sacs that were even bigger than its head. Every time it spat out its tongue, it was like a long whip breaking through the air, shooting out thousands of feet.    

Every time it attacked, it could capture an ancient mosquito and forcefully pull it back, swallowing it into its stomach.    

In the blink of an eye, dozens of huge ancient mosquitoes had been reduced to its food, enjoying a delicious meal.    

"Burp."    

The Lizard Demon burped loudly, spitting out a greenish-purple, turbid gas that made one's hair stand on end.    

"It's the Poison Emperor Lizard, a poisonous demonic beast. Judging from the color of its poisonous sac and the aura it exudes, it must be a Longevity Demonic Beast. It's really terrifying."    

Xilo said with a gloomy face, his face filled with nervousness.    

Taking advantage of this time, the ancient mosquitos in the sky gathered above the Poison Emperor Lizard's head and let out a provocative sharp cry.    

Obviously, the dozens of mosquitos were easily swallowed by the Poison Emperor Lizard, making them very angry.    

However, the Poison Emperor Lizard was the natural enemy of these mosquitos. No matter how fast they flew, they could not outrun the Poison Emperor Lizard's tongue whip.    

As a result, the group of mosquitos knew their place. They only hissed in the air, not daring to get close at all.    

Towards this, the Poison Emperor Lizard completely ignored it. It laid quietly on the ground and digested the mosquitos it had just swallowed, as if it was taking a nap.    

"Now, run."    

Chen Xiao did not dare to stay any longer. Right now, both sides were in a standoff, and it was the best time for him to escape.    

If he missed it, there might not be a next time.    

Chen Xiao did not think that he had enough strength to retreat from a Poison Emperor Lizard at the Immortal level in the forest.    

Hei Zi quickly followed him, not daring to make any unnecessary sounds.    

At the same time, the Poison Emperor Lizard, who was lying by the side of the pond, sensed something and looked in the direction Chen Xiao was fleeing in. It looked at him with a trace of doubt, and was stunned for a moment, but it quickly moved away.    

One of its eyes was staring at the group of mosquitos in the air, and the other was resting quietly, not caring about anything at all.    

After a while, Chen Xiao ran out of the forest for hundreds of miles and arrived at a rocky forest. He saw that the surroundings were completely bare, and there were only large amounts of stone forests. There were no other places for the Demonic Beasts to hide. This was a safe place, so he heaved a sigh of relief.    

"So close, I finally escaped. That Poison Emperor Lizard was too terrifying just now, and it almost chased after us. It was really terrifying. A Longevity Demonic Beast's strength is probably even above mine."    

Chen Xiao said with a face full of fear as he panted heavily.    

"Luckily, this Poison Emperor Lizard was full. Otherwise, it would have definitely chased after us with that one look just now."    

Xi Luo also said with a face full of relief.    

"That's right. With the Vicious Mosquitoes scouting the way for us, we can feed the Poison Emperor Lizard first before hiding."    

Chen Xiao said again with a face full of fear.    

He could completely imagine what would happen if other cultivators encountered the same thing. Once they were targeted by the Poison Emperor Lizard, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if they didn't die, they would definitely be severely injured.    

If that happened, the chances of them surviving in the Divine Tower space would be greatly reduced.    

Xi Luo pondered for a moment and said, "This place is dangerous. Let's hide here for a while and scout the surrounding situation before making our plans."    

"Alright."    

At that moment, Chen Xiao didn't say anything else and used the Earth Escape Technique to sink 300 meters underground. He took out the array flags and array discs and set up a concealment array formation, as well as a defensive array formation. A set of array formations was connected to another set, and they formed a whole.    

As a result, the defensive power of the formation doubled, and it became even more stable.    

After doing all this, Chen Xiao felt a little more at ease. He took out a jade slip and held it in his hand with a solemn expression.    

"It's been so long, but there is still no reaction from the jade slip. It seems that Gu Changsheng and Second Brother Tianxing are very far away from me. My luck is really bad."    

Chen Xiao sighed.    

Before they set off to enter the Divine Pagoda, he and Gu Changsheng and the Heavenly Star Swordmaster each left behind a jade slip to sense the situation. As long as the jade slip was within five thousand miles, it would be able to sense something.    

But now, he saw that there was no reaction at all.    

In other words, the distance between him and the two of them was at least five thousand miles, which was too far.    

"This means that the space within the Divine Pagoda is even bigger than we imagined. Think about it, the number of Changsheng cultivators who entered the Divine Pagoda has exceeded three hundred. These three hundred people were randomly sent to another world the size of one Divine Realm. If you want to bump into someone, you have to be familiar with them. It's extremely difficult."    

Xiluo said indifferently.    

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and agreed, "In that case, it was done on purpose. In this way, the Changsheng cultivators who entered the pagoda would not be able to form an alliance. Instead, it would be beneficial to the rogue cultivators."    

"Right."    

"It's getting more and more interesting. Heh."
