Under Han Li's breathless gaze, the giant mantis flew back and forth within a few miles, then suddenly shot straight toward Han Li's hiding place at high speed.
Han Li's face turned ashen!
With a cold expression, he tightly gripped the "Blood Spirit Drill" in his hand and began to infuse it with spiritual power, causing it to slightly heat up.
Watching the approaching monster without expression, Han Li had decided to wait until it was closer to release his magical weapon. Only by doing so could he have a better chance of injuring or killing it.
Of course, this approach would greatly increase the danger, but Han Li couldn't care less now.
Fifty zhang, forty zhang, thirty zhang...
Han Li's heart pounded fiercely, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath before he was about to unleash the Blood Spirit Drill.
But to Han Li's astonishment, something unexpected happened.
When the mantis was twenty zhang above Han Li's head, it suddenly changed direction and flew diagonally toward another spot not far from Han Li. After one or two miserable roars, the giant mantis actually grabbed a huge wild boar with its forelimbs and flew back the way it came from without hesitation.
As the figure of the monster gradually disappeared from sight, Han Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, disregarding the demeanor of a cultivator.
The situation just now was truly critical!
If he hadn't planned to attack only when the opponent was close, he would have ended up like that wild boar, becoming the monster's meal.
Han Li felt extremely lucky to have escaped unscathed this time, feeling his luck was beyond compare.
With his mind somewhat settled, Han Li thought of the culprit behind all this, the cultivator who had taken over Qu Han's body, and couldn't help but feel angry!
It was obvious that the letter in the cave was a trap set by the other party.
No matter how careful he was, he was still no match for the opponent's cunning, and he had been completely deceived, almost losing his life.
"Good, very good! Now that I'm not dead, I'll have a good look at you!" Han Li, feeling angry for the first time, muttered to himself as he sat and rested.
In his mind, the "Qu Han" had affixed three "Mind Lock Talismans" to him in a row, which he couldn't possibly break free from with his cultivation level. As long as he returned, he would easily take the other's life.
Feeling that his physical strength and mana had recovered, Han Li immediately flew on his flying weapon back in the direction he came from.
However, this time, he didn't dare to fly openly in the sky, but flew cautiously at a low altitude of a dozen zhang above the ground, fearing to attract the attention of the monster again.
On his way back, as the cold night wind blew against him, extinguishing much of his anger, Han Li's mind cleared up a lot, and he began to re-examine the process of his contact with "Qu Han."
After thinking about the words and actions of the cultivator of the Mystic Spirit Sect, as well as the terrifying nature of the mantis monster, Han Li began to suspect his original identity as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In such a place as Jia Yuan City, just over a hundred li away, it was impossible for such a powerful insect monster to appear naturally.
Thinking of the identity of the cultivator of the Mystic Spirit Sect, the mantis spirit beast was almost certainly a spirit beast he had tamed.
