Chapter 520: The Five-Color Pearl and the New Golddevourer Worm
One of the items was a several-zhang-long strip, shimmering with silver light—it turned out to be a part of the tail of that giant turtle.
The other was half of a Ghost Head Cane, still emanating astonishing spiritual power.
It seemed that from that fierce battle, it was truly hard to say who had won.
After the thunder tribulation ended, they might have again chased each other away from the nearby sea region.
After all, reaching the nascent soul stage and the level of an eighth-level demonic beast, whether a cultivator wanted to kill a demon for its core or the demon beast wanted to devour the cultivator’s nascent soul, neither was an easy task.
The weaker side losing and fleeing should be much easier.
Han Li looked at the two things in his hands, a trace of caution appearing on his face.
After some thought, he waved his hands and threw the two items back into the sea depths.
Even if the chance was slim, Han Li didn’t want anyone to track those two things and bring trouble upon himself.
He looked around carefully again, confirming that there were no hidden cultivators or demonic beasts nearby; only then did he hesitate no longer and fly toward the Sea of Mist.
The protective formation outside the secluded mansion remained intact, and Han Li’s last bit of worry was released as he hurried inside.
Originally, before the battle began, Han Li planned to move away from this island.
But after witnessing the battle between the three cultivators and the demonic beasts, he changed his mind.
The giant turtle, not to mention whether it was alive or dead, was definitely heavily injured. Even if its lair was truly in this sea region, after such a terrifying experience, it would certainly move away.
Moreover, finding another island so hidden was no easy matter.
Even if he found one, who knew what other high-rank demonic beasts might be lurking nearby?
In this way, this place seemed somewhat safer.
However, Han Li did not dare to be careless! He immediately set up several illusion formations on the island and laid two fake secluded mansions elsewhere in the mountains, each concealed with protective formations.
This way, even if a strong enemy invaded, he still had a chance to escape.
After finishing all this, Han Li finally allowed himself to relax.
He did not know that the human-demon battle he had witnessed that day would become an important fuse that ignited the later wars between demonic cultivators and humans in the Chaotic Star Sea.
The enraged dragon clan of the Chaotic Star Sea also joined the ranks of high-rank demonic beasts slaughtering human cultivators.
Humans suffered heavy losses!
After some time passed and the mansion remained unharmed, Han Li soon put the battle out of his mind.
Now, preparing for future hunting of demonic beasts, he concentrated on refining some trapping formations.
Since the targets were sixth or seventh-level high-rank demonic beasts, he dared not be careless at all.
During this period, the golddevourer worms that had finished devouring finally laid eggs.
When Han Li happily saw the worm eggs, his face suddenly showed surprise.
Although the eggs were still pale white, black spots appeared on their surface, very conspicuous.
“What is this...?”
At this point, Han Li’s first thought was whether these golddevourer worms had already evolved into mature forms. But then he denied this thought himself.
According to his judgment, the previous golddevourer worms were already quite powerful. But they were still far from the legendary nearly immortal mature form. There was no way they could evolve that fast.
So Han Li thought again and naturally connected it to the thousands of iron fire ants that had been devoured.
Could it be that because they devoured too many iron fire ants, an unexpected evolution had begun?
Han Li’s curiosity was piqued.
However, according to previous experience, there should still be about a year before these eggs hatched.
Without hesitation, he suppressed his anticipation, drew up the Spirit Control Magic Formation, and moved all the eggs inside, marking them with blood as their master.
