Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 162 Tower 12 (Thanks to Yi Zhong for the tip!)

The nearby sea water changed its appearance right under the eyes of several people.

Ge Cang pointed at the sea with a look of fear on his face, and his already clumsy mouth couldn't say anything else.

Wei Xifang had been staring at the fierce confrontation in the distance, and only now did he pay attention to the sea.

No wonder Ge Cang was so scared. It wasn't the sea water itself that was dark, but it was filled with insects with thin bodies, long heads and short antennae. They were densely packed in the sea water, and from a distance, they looked no different from sea water.

Normal people would never imagine that there are these things in the sea water. They just think that the water in the secret realm is deeper.

For some reason, at this moment, the wind was strong and the waves were high, and some black little insects were left on the rocks by the sea water hitting the shore, and only then were they noticed.

Wei Xi inserted the fire poker into the sea water, stirred it a few times, and took it out to carefully observe the small insects on it.

The part of the stick that was inserted into the sea water was covered with a layer of wriggling black skin from insects.

Yun Qing took a look and thought of the turtle she had put into the water. She grabbed her teammate's arm, turned around, bent over and vomited.

As Yun Qing vomited, Wei Xi, who was not afraid of insects, took a closer look.

The mouthparts of these insects are quite peculiar, with inward-hooked spines. Once something gets into their mouths, there's no way it can get out.

Why observe insect mouths? Because these creatures are twisting their limp bodies around, desperately gnawing at each other.

Even though he had been tempered into steel in the cemetery, Wei Xi couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Restraining his nausea, Wei Xi used a dagger to turn over the bugs.

Sure enough, those insects with the strongest desire to eat were more bloated than the other insects.

With the spirit of finding out the truth, Wei Xi exerted force with his wrist and cut open the abdomen of one of them with the blade of the dagger. It was filled with the remains of its own kind. He turned over the soft corpses but found nothing else.

Wei Xi pulled the dagger back, and there was a bug on it, biting the dagger.

The dagger had already cut through its flesh, but the insect was still chewing mechanically, and most of what went into its mouth was juice from its body.

Wei Xi put the dagger on the fire and turned the poker into firewood.

"Could the sea be full of these ghost things?" Lian Gou Xie was really convinced. He had only entered the secret realm twice, but how come he encountered such disgusting things every time.

"What else are they burning?" Wei Xi said this as he looked at the fire in the distance that was nowhere to be seen.

Imagine that you and your friends found that the sea water was full of bugs, and these bugs ate everything. What was your first reaction?
The answer is right in front of us. It turns out that it is not these little bugs in the secret realm that can ignite the sea water. What is burning is not water at all, but insects.

"The seawater is full of bugs," Qin Feng frowned and said, "Can we still use seawater to build stairs?"

Hearing this, Yun Qing, who had already straightened up, turned around, bent over and vomited in one breath.

"Let's try it first," Wei Xi decided. "We can't go into the water anyway. It would be best if we can freeze."

Perhaps it was because they imagined the scene of being wrapped in insects that made several people shudder. Feng Xiaotian felt obliged to step forward and try whether this strange layer of sea water could be frozen.

Water turns into shape and cold air turns into ice.

The handful of sea water used for the experiment was like an ice coffin for the insects.

In an emergency, Feng Xiaotian could only teach his teammates the most basic freezing techniques. "Fellow Daoist Qin and I will take care of the main part of the stairs. The rest of you should protect yourselves."

How could Qin Feng learn it after he gave a long theoretical explanation?
"I'm afraid Yun Qing can't touch those bugs," Wei Xi said naturally, "Let her switch with Qin Feng. The mermaids in the sea are difficult to deal with, and Qin Feng is better at attacking. This way is safer."

Yun Qing had no idea what Wei Xi was planning. She simply knew she'd rather die than touch those bugs, so she quickly nodded in agreement. "I know the freezing technique. I'll freeze this path open. Fellow Daoist Feng, you just need to build the stairs."

Yun Qing vowed solemnly, and Feng Xiaotian did not force her. He only told her to move quickly and control her spiritual power precisely.

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief as he didn't have to expose his shortcomings.

The few of them quickly finalized a plan to escape from the sixth floor: Yun Qingdong cleared a path, Qin Feng and Ge Cang were in front and behind, and Wei Xilian Gou was on the left and right, protecting Feng Xiaotian by lifting seawater to build stairs at several suspicious points.

The key is to act quickly and reduce conflicts with various creatures, including mermaids.

There are too many questions on this level, such as what are the worms in the sea, how do mermaids survive in the worm pile, what is the normal way to pass the level, and why are the monks as if they have seen a ghost...

But it doesn't matter. As long as it doesn't delay Wei Xi's survival, she is too lazy to get to the bottom of it.

Unfortunately, Wei Xi glanced at the mermaid who was slapped in the face by a disciple of the Wanjian Sect with a sword, and realized that they would not get any points on this level.

Avoid the limelight for the time being, lie dormant and wait for the opportunity.

Wei Xi withdrew his gaze, rubbed his face twice, and made sure he stayed alert.

In a short while, the wind and waves became stronger and stronger. The coconut trees were tossed wildly by the strong wind, and they flapped their leaves to welcome the sea water.

Ge Cang put out the fire and covered the embers with some sand.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Qing mobilized her spiritual power to freeze the sea water.

Because of this concealed move, the whereabouts of several people were hidden in the waves. Wei Xi was busy freezing the small insects that were swept up, and he also had to be on guard against sneak attacks from monks, so he was on high alert.

Fortunately, Yun Qingqi Palace was spacious and had sufficient spiritual power, so he froze the sea area corresponding to the star in less than a quarter of an hour.

Feng Xiaotian immediately cast a spell to lift a huge amount of sea water. The moves of a professional mage were different. With one spell, the sea water was frozen into a staircase.

At this time, Feng Xiaotian gave up the pursuit of shape and just built a simple inclined ladder, which was easy to climb and avoided twists and turns.

Lian Gouqie once again acted as a scout, running very fast to verify whether the stairs were passable.

At this time, some monks had already noticed the movement here.

No matter how much home-field advantage the mermaids of the Swallowing Sea Sect had, they could not withstand the desperate resistance of the monks. Half of them were beaten out of their original form and fell into the sea, waiting to be eliminated.

The team that could reach this level, looking at the frozen insect ladder, could naturally guess what Wei Xi and the others were going to do.

There were even a few monks who turned their guns around and ran over to stop Wei Xi's team.

Wei Xi secretly cursed these people for being despicable: once the stairs are workable, everyone on this floor will benefit. Even if they are opponents, they can just stand by and watch. Why bother to cause trouble?
He cursed in his heart, and his actions were even more vicious.

Wei Xi couldn't gain any advantage by force, but she was ingenious. She cast a spell to raise sea water to freeze the shell, then aimed at her opponent's face and smashed it one by one.

The thin ice shell shattered when it hit the face, and the exposed insects squirmed their mouthparts and bit the monk who screamed. Qin Feng and Ge Cang took advantage of their unpreparedness and eliminated them one by one.

Three girls were fighting here, while the remaining three were anxiously waiting for the result.

Lian Gouqie, a former master thief, moved extremely quickly, rolled over, and said anxiously, "This spot won't work! Switch to the next one!"
