Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 196 The Fierce Little Devil

Li Zhi lay on the Hundred-Eyed Insect tightly, letting it crawl at a high speed. This speed was no less than riding a horse, and even faster. This was one of the reasons why Li Zhi insisted on acting alone. Only when others were away could he expose these secrets and abilities that were unknown to others without any scruples.

However, just as Li Zhi felt the speed of the hundred-eyed insect, an extremely dangerous feeling suddenly surged into his heart.

Li Zhi frowned and sensed the mosquito demons he had placed around him, but found nothing unusual. However, Li Zhi was very clear that this feeling was definitely not groundless.

The hundred-eyed insect seemed to have noticed something unusual, and suddenly leaped into the air. The moment they left the spot, the ground exploded, raising a cloud of dust.

A root branch covered with sharp needles broke out from the ground and rushed towards Li Zhi like an arrow.

Li Zhi's eyes widened, thinking to himself that this was not good. He was now flying into the air, and there was no way to avoid it.

"Bang!" With a dull sound, the branch full of barbs pierced heavily into the brown area that appeared in front of Li Zhi.

The art of the five elements and five armors, earth armor!

However, Li Zhi's earth armor only lasted for a breath. After just a breath, the earth armor completely collapsed as if it could not bear the heavy load. The ferocious root branch pierced through the broken earth armor like a bamboo, and continued to stab Li Zhi at an astonishing speed.

However, Li Zhi seemed to have been prepared. At the moment when the earth armor collapsed, he quickly retreated backwards. While he was retreating, the hundred-eyed insect also pounced on the branch with its fangs and claws.

The hundred-eyed insect opened its bloody mouth full of ferocious sharp teeth and bit the branch. It was not afraid of the sharp thorns on the branch and bit it tightly. Then, it pulled hard and actually broke the branch.

Just as the root branch was torn off, a delicate and coquettish laugh suddenly rang out.

"hehe..."

This sudden laughter made Li Zhi feel uneasy. He could feel that the dangerous feeling lingering in his heart was exactly the same as this laughter.

Li Zhi couldn't help but frown and looked in the direction where the laughter came from.

At some point, a ball of black mist quietly rose up from there, and the black mist kept rolling and twisting. Gradually, the black mist turned into a human form.

Finally, a woman with a graceful figure appeared in front of Li Zhi.

The woman was dressed in black and exuded a strong demonic aura, which made even the Hundred-Eyed Insect, a celestial demon, feel very uncomfortable. The woman looked at the Hundred-Eyed Insect with interest and said, "How could a celestial demon like you have fallen to the point of following a human? How pathetic! If you submit to me, how about I help you become a great demon?"

The hundred-eyed insect twisted its body. If it had not been suppressed by the evil spirit of the woman, it would have pounced on her and bit her.

The black-clothed woman saw this and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes. She said in a deep voice: "Humph, how dare you be so rude? I am Heishan, a great demon. I tried to persuade you with kind words today, but you are so ungrateful. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Hey... I say... it's not appropriate for you to dig up my monster in front of me."

A voice that seemed to be mocking suddenly sounded.

Hearing this sudden voice, the Black Mountain Demon couldn't help but frowned and slowly raised his head. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Zhizheng standing not far away.

At this moment, Li Zhi was covered in a brown light, and a heavy aura emanated from him.

The Black Mountain Demon sneered: "Just an ant!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her entire body suddenly shot out several thorny branches. One after another, the sharp branches shot towards Li Zhi.

Looking at the branches flashing with dangerous aura and heading towards him, Li Zhi knew very well that with his current earth armor, he would definitely not be able to withstand this wave of attacks.

Although he successfully cultivated the Earth Armor with the help of the spleen and earth qi, his Earth Armor was only at the entry level. He had not practiced and consolidated it at all, so his Earth Armor did not have much power now.

This was also because he had realized that once he used the magic of Xiaoyao Mountain, his whereabouts would be discovered by some people with ulterior motives. So from that moment on, Li Zhi didn't dare to practice the magic of Xiaoyao Mountain, let alone use it.

This led to his current embarrassing situation with the Earth Armor. You should know that the Earth Armor is the most defensive one among the five elements and five armors.

Since Li Zhi knew that the earth armor could not stop it, he would definitely not sit still and wait for death. He took a step forward, and a long-lost light bloomed from under his feet. Then, dense and faintly glowing lines spread rapidly from the bottom of his feet like a spider web.

"Tulang!" Li Zhi shouted in a low voice.

I saw the originally flat ground suddenly bulge up high, like a surging wave, sweeping towards the root and branch thorns that were surging like a tide.

"Boom--" accompanied by a deafening roar, the earth wave swallowed up all the roots and branches with great momentum.

At the same time, five eerie figures suddenly appeared around the Black Mountain Demon like ghosts. The yin energy they exuded was like a solid cold mist, spreading in the air.

The five little ghosts laughed fiercely, and their laughter sounded like the cry of a night owl, sharp and piercing. Along with this creepy laughter, they turned into a gust of cold wind, which howled and rushed straight towards the Black Mountain Demon.

Seeing this, the Black Mountain Demon's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't understand why the man in front of her had so many skills and spells. Although she was a demon, she also knew that spells were scarce. Li Zhi in front of her cast three spells at once, and even though she was well-informed, she couldn't help but feel surprised.

But she was a big demon after all, and even though Li Zhi had many tricks, to her, they were just Li Zhi's dying struggle. In her mind, all these little tricks were like an ant trying to shake a tree, and they could not really shake her foundation.

She snorted coldly, and the sound was like a dull thunder echoing in the valley, which made people's hearts tremble. Dense roots emerged from her body, and these roots grew and spread at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, they became thick and tough.

The roots and branches of the trees were as thick as giant pythons. They kept rolling and twisting on the ground, making bursts of rustling sounds.

Suddenly, these tree roots were like living pythons, twisting their huge bodies and attacking the five ghosts with overwhelming momentum.

The tree roots that looked like giant pythons collided fiercely with the Yin wind transformed by the five ghosts. In an instant, the Yin wind dissipated and was swept away by the tree roots and dissipated in the air. Without the Yin wind to cover them, the five little ghosts also revealed their true bodies and were tightly entangled by the tree roots.

However, Li Zhi's five little ghosts did not stop. Even though their entire bodies had been tightly entangled, they still opened their ferocious mouths and lowered their heads to bite the tree roots.

This scene made the Black Mountain Demon couldn't help but look sideways, and a hint of doubt flashed across her eyes.

"What a vicious little devil!"
