"Puff!" It was the sound of the sword piercing flesh. The Rainbow Sword traced a peculiar trajectory, directly cleaving the monster in front of it in half from its weak spot.
This creature was a sandy-yellow color all over, draped in yellow armor, with a pitch-black head, faintly emanating a remnant of ferocity.
This was a desert corpse-eating ant, a small-sized, first-tier group-based monster.
Once these monsters appeared, they were always in groups.
And once they detected an enemy, they would all rush at once.
And now, Lu Yunxiao had encountered this scene.
He encountered a squad of desert corpse-eating ants, consisting of at least fifty or so.
Although they were all only first-tier early-stage monsters, the sheer number was quite terrifying.
As the saying goes, "It's hard to fight against four hands with just two fists." If an ordinary combatant encountered such a scene, they would definitely not survive. Fortunately, Lu Yunxiao was no ordinary combatant.
His boots sank into the sand as Lu Yunxiao's figure swayed slightly, evading an attack from one of the desert corpse-eating ants.
Although the Wind Walk technique was only of low-level Huang rank, for the desert corpse-eating ants, which weren't very agile, it was incredibly swift.
Coupled with Lu Yunxiao's recently awakened powerful detection ability, he was maneuvering effortlessly among the encircling desert corpse-eating ants.
"Too slow!" Lu Yunxiao swung the Rainbow Sword, and the sword's body was covered with innate metal energy, making the already sharp sword even more lethal.
Where the blade passed, it completely bisected the body of a nearby desert corpse-eating ant. The wound, while spraying blood, was remarkably smooth.
"Quantity doesn't change quality," Lu Yunxiao said lightly. His body trembled, kicking up a cloud of dust. Energy condensed on the Rainbow Sword, emitting a faint brilliance.
"Sword Qi across the sky!" Lu Yunxiao whispered softly. The Rainbow Sword cut out a sharp golden crescent-shaped sword Qi, rapidly shooting forward.
"Puff puff puff!"
The extremely terrifying sword Qi, mixed with innate golden energy, pierced and cleaved seven or eight desert corpse-eating ants ahead, splitting them in half from the middle.
The utmost attacking power of the gold element was vividly displayed in this strike.
The gold element excelled in attack, which was no empty boast.
"Very good, Sword Qi!" Having succeeded with a move, Lu Yunxiao leaped into the air, and once again swung his sword.
Extremely sharp sword Qi shot out from the Rainbow Sword, instantly clearing out another large area behind.
Under these two sword strikes, more than twenty desert corpse-eating ants were slain.
Lu Yunxiao landed lightly, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
"The paired combat skills from the 'Elemental Gold Sword Art' are quite impressive, with considerable power."
Lu Yunxiao murmured softly. Both moves just now were part of the paired combat skills from the 'Elemental Gold Sword Art,' and their power was quite remarkable.
Whether it was 'Heavenly Flying Immortal' or 'One Sword Across Worlds,' they were both ultimate moves that were quite energy-consuming. In ordinary times, using the paired combat skills from the 'Elemental Gold Sword Art' was already sufficient.
His eyes flickered as Lu Yunxiao gently shook his right hand. The Rainbow Sword lightly trembled, emitting a clear sound of swords clanging.
"It seems you're quite excited," Lu Yunxiao muttered to himself, but his eyes grew brighter. "Well then, let's have a satisfying slaughter."
Saying this, Lu Yunxiao aimed his sword at the remaining desert corpse-eating ants and charged.
"Sword Qi's Long Song!"
...
The battle quickly ended. Lu Yunxiao stood with his sword, surrounded by the bodies of the desert corpse-eating ants.
More than fifty desert corpse-eating ants, not one escaped, all dead under Lu Yunxiao's sword.
"Desert corpse-eating ants are only the lowest-tier first-level monsters. Even though I've killed so many, it doesn't give much reference to my combat power. They lack effective attack methods and can't withstand even a gentle strike of the Rainbow Sword, making it seem somewhat easy."
Lu Yunxiao reminisced about the battle scene, silently evaluating.
It was his habit; after every battle, he would make some conclusions, identify his shortcomings, and then correct them. This was one of the major reasons why he was becoming stronger.
"It's not that they are weak, it's that you're a bit too strong, Host. Since these desert corpse-eating ants can't test your strength, you should find some stronger first-tier monsters to determine your combat power."
The system's faint voice echoed in Lu Yunxiao's mind.
"You're right." Hearing this, Lu Yunxiao nodded slightly. "I should indeed find some stronger first-tier monsters."
First-tier monsters had different strengths. The top-tier first-tier monsters had terrifying combat power, completely incomparable to the desert corpse-eating ants.
The terror of the desert corpse-eating ants lay only in their swarming attack, their frenzy to bite and devour.
However, if faced with someone with exceptional body techniques and powerful attacks, the desert corpse-eating ants would be easily divided and defeated, just like Lu Yunxiao's performance just now.
As Lu Yunxiao spoke, he carefully searched while carrying the Rainbow Sword.
Amongst these many corpses of the desert corpse-eating ants, there definitely existed magic cores. And those were money.
Lu Yunxiao's assets were not abundant right now; he urgently needed supplies. Money might not represent everything, but without it, it was truly difficult to make progress.
After searching through the corpses of more than fifty desert corpse-eating ants, he found only eight magic cores. The drop rate of these magic cores was shockingly low.
"Alas, low-tier monsters are low-tier monsters. The drop rate is beyond belief!" Lu Yunxiao shook his head, stowing away the magic cores, and then resumed his journey.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was dusk. Lu Yunxiao's white robe was still spotless, but his expression showed signs of weariness. He had experienced several battles today and was feeling a bit tired.
"Let's find a place to rest, and eat some dry rations. The sun is about to set, and it wouldn't hurt to wait until dawn before moving forward."
With this thought in mind, Lu Yunxiao found a relatively secluded spot and settled down.
Soon, night fell. Lu Yunxiao lit a fire, and sat beside it, quietly eating dry rations.
The evening breeze blew, and the temperature in the desert gradually dropped.
"Hiss hiss!" In the rustling night wind, there seemed to be an inconspicuous hissing sound.
"What's that sound?" Lu Yunxiao frowned, the Rainbow Sword held firmly in hand. His left thumb gently pushed, half unsheathing the long sword, emitting a chilling glint.
The desert at night was even more dangerous; many monsters only emerged in the darkness. Therefore, even a slight sound immediately heightened Lu Yunxiao's vigilance.
"Puff!" It was the sound of the sword piercing flesh. The Rainbow Sword traced a peculiar trajectory, directly cleaving the monster in front of it in half from its weak spot.
