In the basement filled with black fog, there was a rancid smell, like fermented wine lees mixed with canned herrings.

The surrounding walls and ceiling had long since mutated, becoming squirming like jelly, with tentacles filled with mucus constantly waving out.

They have sharp barbs, and their mucus is extremely toxic. Once a wound is opened, they will be instantly poisoned.

The tentacles danced wildly, targeting an oval object that shone with golden light. From a distance, it looked like a big egg.

The four of Zhang Zhenshan stood back to back inside the golden light, all staring solemnly in front of them, guarding each other's backs.

During this period of time, they not only had to resist the tentacles that broke through the golden light, but they also had to be constantly on guard against the demon hiding in the dark.

Facing this level of sneaky existence, no one dares to relax their vigilance and is tense all the time.

"My golden light shield can't last long. I have to find the two demons' true bodies." Wang Wuchen looked around and spoke in a low voice.

"These two demons are not only powerful, but also have deep thoughts. This place is beneficial to them, so they want to consume us to death."

Zhang Zhenshan also said, his voice was a little hoarse. Although he knew the demon's thoughts, he could not decipher them. This lingering black mist was too difficult to break.

"This place is already their devil's nest. The longer it goes, the worse it will be for us. Damn it, these two guys wouldn't have known that we were coming, so they set a trap."

Li Wanran cut off a squirming tentacle with his long sword and muttered through gritted teeth.

"So we can't delay it any longer, guys, show your true abilities!"

Zhang Zhenshan's voice became excited, and he shouted to the left: "Wuchen, you are proficient in formations, I will leave it to you to break through the black mist."

Wang Wuchen turned around suspiciously, as if wondering how the other party knew that he had the ability to break through the black mist.

After seeing Zhang Zhenshan's majestic and profound eyes, he nodded silently and said softly: "No problem, but you have to apply for a subsidy for me."

After Wang Wuchen finished speaking, his fingers slid to his waist. When he lifted it up again, there was already a palm-sized talisman.

The paper was rough, with no symbols on it, and even some grass clippings mixed in, revealing cheap information.

"The sky and earth are dark and yellow, the sun and moon are the orders, use my essence and blood to break them!"

Wang Wuchen's eyes glowed faintly blue, and as he spoke, a mouthful of blood sprayed from the tip of his tongue onto the talisman, immediately bursting out with bursts of energy.

The blood seemed to be alive, squirming according to the prescribed route, and soon formed a blood pattern printed on the talisman paper.

"Peng!"

Wang Wuchen suddenly crushed the talisman paper, and the energy inside could no longer be contained, and swept out to the surroundings like a strong wind.

The surrounding black mist was still surging and was not affected by the storm, but there were completely different changes in the eyes of the four people.

Among the flying tentacles, there are two figures hidden in the darkness, with red eyes, projecting a wolf-like gaze.

Although Wang Wuchen did not break the black fog, the scene in the entire basement emerged before the four people's eyes, no longer a billowing fog.

"10 minutes, I can hold on for 10 minutes, and the rest is up to you."

Wang Wuchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued to send energy to the cracked talisman in his palm.

"it is good!"

With an accurate target in mind, Zhang Zhenshan's eyes became as sharp as an eagle's and he ordered: "I'll get rid of these disgusting tentacles."

"You have one for each of the remaining two monsters. Don't try to rob them."

"Exactly what I want!"

An arrogant and confident smile appeared on Li Wanran's face, and his figure turned into a translucent shadow, speeding away towards a demon.

Zhang Lingyuan didn't say anything. He held the ancient sword tightly in his hand and stepped forward, looking for his target.

As soon as the two of them took action, those tentacles were summoned, and they all gathered together and charged fiercely.

"Peng Peng!"

A violent explosion sounded, and all the tentacles that attacked Zhang Lingyuan and Li Wanran exploded, and the foul-smelling mucus splashed everywhere.

The person who took action was Zhang Zhenshan. He looked serious and held two distinctive pistols in his hands.

"Slow down, I don't want these disgusting things to stick to me!"

Li Xuanran was almost hit by a pile of mucus, and screamed strangely as he jumped away.

Wang Wuchen looked at the pistol in surprise. It was one size larger than an ordinary revolver and was engraved with many Taoist runes.

"Hey, this is something recently researched by the Ministry of War and the Xuan Academy. It's really powerful."

Feeling Wang Wuchen's gaze, Zhang Zhenshan was so happy that he quickly fired a few more bullets.

The bright red bullets, which are about the size of peanuts, explode when they touch the tentacles, and are as powerful as sticky bombs.

Zhang Zhenshan's shooting level was extremely high, and those tentacles were instantly shattered before they even got close, and could not affect Li Wanran and Zhang Lingyuan at all.

In the black mist, after seeing all this, two pairs of blood-red eyes rushed forward without retreating, attacking like a gust of wind.

Li Wanran slashed down with his long sword, and the white sword energy flew away like a mountain and a vast sea, mixed with the noble sword intention.

"Humph!"

The old demon with wrinkles on his face was fighting against it. With a wave of his hands, a black disk-like energy body appeared, easily resisting the sword energy.

"Defender of the Earth?"

"They are just a group of low-level races occupying a magpie's nest. They are overestimating their abilities."

A cold-blooded and sinister smile appeared on the old demon's face, and black bone spurs extended from its limbs, shining with a cold light.

"You are already on the verge of death, and you are still talking so much nonsense. My blade already wants to drink your blood!"

Li Wanran's expression turned cold, and he suddenly threw out the long sword in his hand. The golden light flashed and the sword roared.

The translucent three-foot long sword scattered in the wind, one turned into two, two turned into three, and three turned into tens of millions.

"cut!"

Golden light accompanied the transparent long sword, and under Li Wanran's command, it shot out surgingly, forming a sword rain all over the sky.

A trace of fear flashed in the old demon's red eyes, and he quickly moved his body to the other side.

Hundreds of sword shadows followed him like bombers, hot on their heels.

"Pfft!"

The blue-black skin was extremely hard, but after the blade fell, it could still open a gash and dripping blood seeped out.

The old demon was in pain and simply stopped avoiding. He took a deep breath and endless black mist burst out to resist.

As soon as the transparent long sword touched the black mist, it immediately melted away, like snow meeting fire.

Li Xuanran was silent for a moment, and realized that he had encountered a tough opponent. The strength of this demon was not weaker than those he encountered.

He knew that he had to deal with his opponent as soon as possible, otherwise when Wang Wuchen couldn't hold on anymore and his eyes turned black again, he would be unable to fight.

"Hey, this is a fine wine that I have treasured for a long time." Li Xuanran sighed and took out a small bottle from his arms.

<divclass="contentadv">The bottle is only about the size of a fist, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It is completely black with gold rim patterns.

A strong aroma of wine also accompanied the appearance of the small bottle, permeating the entire basement.

Li Xuanran opened the bottle with an intoxicated look on his face, took a deep breath of the aroma of the wine, and then threw it into the air, his face full of pain.

The crystal clear liquid floated in the wind, and after falling on the rapidly shooting sword shadow, it erupted with endless rumbling sounds.

This kind of drink was like a stimulant, which immediately caused the power of the transparent long sword to explode. The extremely sharp sword energy fell, and the black mist was torn apart.

The old demon's body was instantly shrouded in sword light, and wounds appeared one after another. Some of them leaked a small amount of blood, and some of them leaked some black juice.

Although the power of the transparent long sword is not that amazing, there are so many of them that in the long run, it will inevitably fall into death.

On the other side, the battle was much simpler, with no shadows of swords and black mist surging in the sky.

The demon Zhang Lingyuan was fighting was very strange. It was all condensed together, resembling an oval ball, but with many tentacles extending out.

This is a very weird creature. If I had to describe it, it would be a hedgehog stuck together, with the spikes turning into tentacles.

Zhang Lingyuan walked straight up to him, and the golden light blooming on the ancient knife gradually faded, turning into a simple and exquisite sharp blade.

Anyone who knows Zhang Lingyuan well knows that the opponent who can make him curb his shine must be an existence with extraordinary strength.

After confronting each other for a few seconds, the two started moving together.

The tentacles on the meat ball demon suddenly grew in size, like long whips, and slammed down from the air.

Zhang Lingyuan rushed forward, just like an ordinary person, but there was a faint sound of blood flowing.

He came to the front of the meat ball demon, raised the ancient knife, and slammed it down. It was a very simple and unpretentious move, just like chopping melons and vegetables.

"puff!"

The blade was indestructible. After cutting off more than a dozen tentacles in a row, it slashed hard at the meat ball, sinking deeply into the flesh.

"squeak!"

A sharp and piercing sound sounded, and the meat ball demon screamed, retreated crazily, and broke free from the shackles of the sharp blade.

The wound that had just been opened actually healed in a short period of time and was intact as before within a few seconds.

"This……"

When Zhang Lingyuan saw this scene, he was a little surprised and seemed to have thought of something.

"Squeak!"

The Meatball Demon seemed to be responding, its tentacles twisted wildly, and its huge form rolled to the side, slamming into the wall next to it.

The viscous jelly-like liquid was instantly broken open, revealing the original wall, but it could not withstand the force and continued to collapse.

Seeing that the meat ball demon actually wanted to run away, Zhang Lingyuan quickly moved forward, the blade danced continuously, and the sound of penetration was heard.

The antique sword is indestructible. Whether it is a meat ball monster or a wall, it can easily break through it and wreak havoc.

"What kind of treasure is this? It can actually break through Tai Sui's defense. Could it be an ancient relic?"

On the other side, the old demon who was fighting with Li Wanran couldn't help but widen his eyes and sounded shocked when he saw this scene.

"You dare to be distracted during the battle? Your opponent is me!"

Li Xuanran couldn't help but get angry, the spiritual energy on his body surged out, and the thousands of long swords above his head continued to fly, like a dragon appearing in the world.

The sharp blade hit the body, and the old demon retreated continuously. The wounds on his body increased more and more, and even some sharp bone spurs were broken.

"I am at a bad start today, but don't think about it. The king will return and this world will be back in our hands."

"Even if it is temporarily occupied by you shameless bugs, it won't last long!"

The old demon glared angrily at Li Xuanran. After saying this, black mist suddenly erupted from his body, supporting it, and moved quickly to the side.

Although there was a stone wall behind it, the black mist was not affected at all and passed easily, leaving only a long tail light and quickly left.

"You want to run away if you can't beat me, right? I must catch you today!"

Li Xuanran jumped into the air, grabbed the main body of the thousands of swords, and was about to chase forward when he heard a voice coming from the side.

"Let it go. Our mission today is not to kill the demon, but for the Yin-Yang Formation."

Zhang Zhenshan put the two weird pistols into his waist and walked forward together with Wang Wuchen.

"That old monster is lucky. Next time you encounter it, you must kill it completely."

Li Wanran felt a little awkward when his defeated general just slipped away, but he still slid down from the air and looked at the meat ball demon on the other side.

The black mist here was the old demon's trick. Most of it had dissipated after it left, so there was no need to maintain any formations, and the situation was completely turned from defeat to victory.

"Hiss, this scene is really violent. The knife in Brother Yuan's hand must be very powerful. It can cut monsters like vegetables."

Wang Wuchen couldn't help but click his tongue as he looked at the scene of pieces of meat flying in front of him.

"I seem to have heard the old monster say that this monster is called Tai Sui and that the knife is some kind of ancient relic." Li Wanran thought.

"Tai Sui? Isn't that a legendary treasure? You can live forever if you eat a piece of it. How can it be connected with demons?" Zhang Zhenshan frowned.

"Most of these legends about immortality and immunity from all diseases are rumors, but there is indeed such a thing as Tai Sui, also known as Ganoderma lucidum, which is a famous medicine."

Wang Wuchen shook his head slightly and recalled based on his own knowledge, but he could not get any useful information.

After all, it's just a name, and it doesn't prove that this demon is Tai Sui. The gap between the two is too big.

"I just said that we should catch up with that old monster. Catching it will definitely yield a lot of information. The inside of these monsters is not that simple!" Li Wanran said again.

"Don't worry about it. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's take action to deal with this monster, and then find the yin-yang formation to destroy it."

Zhang Zhenshan quickly made the correct judgment based on current events. Although the black fog here has disappeared, it is still not a safe place.

The other two naturally obeyed, and the three of them moved forward together, and together with Zhang Lingyuan, they launched an extremely fast attack against the meat ball demon.

Glittering transparent long swords, small but powerful bullets, and talisman attacks continued to fall.

The power of these attacks was very strong, but they did not break the meat ball demon's defense. The three of them changed their strategies and attacked Zhang Lingyuan's wounds.

"Squeak!"

An extremely obvious effect appeared, and the meat ball demon let out an eardrum-shattering scream. Then, the blue-black body suddenly began to grow in size like a water-filled balloon.

In just a few breaths, the wall behind it collapsed, occupying half of the basement.

"what's going on?"

The four people who were pained by the killer were startled, and started to retreat one after another, watching the flesh ball expand more and more.

Immediately afterwards, it exploded with a bang.
