Chapter 116: Monsters and Insects
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As if seeing Lin Yan’s serious injuries, the monster was no longer in a hurry to chase after him.
Two bronze saber arms supported the ground. The stiff green carapace on its body suddenly spewed out white smoke. Several irregular cracks opened, emitting a sound like metal rubbing against each other. It slowly squirmed and opened.
A thick insect’s head was raised high from its shell. A huge insect monster that looked like a mantis and a cockroach combined revealed its terrifying true appearance.
It was more than three meters long, and its entire body seemed to be made of green iron. Its upper body was like a mantis, two meters tall, and its saber arms were cold. When it slashed across the ground, there was a clang and sparks flew.
Its lower body lay on the ground like a cockroach. Its tail was fat and round, and it was one meter long. It had seven to eight pairs of spike-like legs that were curved and hooked like claws. They were pitch-black.
Behind its butt, four tentacles wriggled and flicked non-stop. From time to time, the bone spikes would pierce into the ground and rise, leaving a deep hole.
“Therefore, the place where the tentacles are long is actually its tail! It will transform. The previous form was just that its body was curled into a ball, and its shell was exposed to protect itself!”
…..
The moment Lin Yan’s gaze swept past it, he was immediately attracted by two extremely outstanding features.
First of all, there was a circle of pitch-black sarcoma the size of a baby’s head at the connection between its upper and lower body. It looked like it was wearing a string of black prayer beads.
The other was its head, which was in an inverted fan shape. At the top of its grayish-green arc-shaped head, there were dense buns protruding, like Buddha Vajra!
At first glance, the insect monster had Buddhist prayer beads around its waist and buns on its head. It revealed a strange silhouette in the dark. Apart from being terrifying, it actually had a strange Buddhist nature!
A glint flashed across Lin Yan’s eyes. He reached out to his chest to cover the wound that had already begun to recover.
The insect monster didn’t attack again. Its four dark red compound eyes, accompanied by the swaying of its greenish-gray head, stared at Lin Yan mockingly.
Under its eyes, the four-petaled mouthpart let out chewing and friction sounds from time to time, as if four huge guillotines were cutting back and forth.
“It’s waiting! Waiting for the moment when 1 lose too much blood and am seriously injured and on the verge of death! In that case…”
Lin Yan glanced around and suddenly staggered, half kneeling on the ground.
At this moment!
The insect monster’s lower body had seven to eight pairs of legs. With a sudden bounce, its three-meter-long body instantly bounced up. From top to bottom, it pounced at Lin Yan’s head in an extremely perfect arc!
The coldness in Lin Yan’s eyes suddenly increased. Now!
His blood energy surged, and the muscles on his half-kneeling foot instantly pulled like steel cables. A huge force erupted, and Lin Yan’s body flew out horizontally, dodging the insect monster’s pounce.
The insect monster was in midair when it realized that its prey had suddenly run away. Its body curled up and was about to shrink back into a ball.
In the next moment, a huge beam tore through the air and crashed into the front of the insect monster’s body!
The beam was extremely thick. The insect monster could not retract at all and lost its balance in midair.
Lin Yan hugged it tightly with both hands and swung the beam as a huge pestle. He pushed against the insect monster and smashed it into the palace wall against the rock wall!
BANG!
With a loud bang, a large crack appeared on the rock wall, and the entire palace began to shake. An extremely sharp and miserable cry sounded from behind the pillar. At the same time, a huge struggle came from behind the pillar.
Lin Yan exerted his brute force and bent his right leg. A huge force erupted and he directly kneed the back end of the broken beam.
Bang!
The crack in the rock wall instantly expanded. The beam pillar was pushed by the huge force and was forcefully embedded into the rock wall. The palace shook even more.
Lin Yan could see that a quarter of the insect monster’s body was pushed against the rock wall by the beam. It let out a shrill cry as a large mouthful of green pus suddenly spewed out of its mouth, and its sharp lower jaw was broken.
It waved its saber arm, wanting to cut off the beam.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Almost instantly, Lin Yan kicked six times in a row.
He completely ignored the crumbling hall and attacked with all his might, directly interrupting the insect monster’s actions and pushing it deep into the rock wall. Almost half of its body was stuck in the rock wall, and a large amount of green pus emerged.
“Not dead yet!”
Lin Yan pressed down with both hands and pressed the beam pillar into the ground. His figure was like lightning as he stepped on the beam pillar and rushed to the insect monster.
The insect monster’s vitality was extremely tenacious. After such a terrifying collision, the carapace on its body only deformed slightly.
Seeing Lin Yan arrive in front of it, there were several gills-like cracks on both sides of its face. As its mouth opened and closed, its four compound eyes were already red.
The two saber arms crossed and slashed at Lin Yan’s head.
However, Lin Yan was already prepared. He easily dodged the two saber arms.
Then, his hand was like an iron hoop. He grabbed brazenly and directly grabbed the insect monster’s right saber arm. His fingers exerted strength and actually cracked the saber arm.
The insect monster wanted to retract its saber arm, but the bone spike in Lin Yan’s other hand stabbed into the rotating joint of the saber arm like an iron cone.
“Hehehe!”
An ear-piercing scream sounded. The insect monster’s left saber arm slashed over, wanting to split Lin Yan’s head in half.
Lin Yan pulled its right saber arm and turned around to dodge the blade. Instead, he left the joint of its right saber arm where its left arm had fallen.
It was like a knife cutting through tofu. Its right saber arm was directly cut off by itself, and foul green pus and blood spewed out.
“Hehehe!!!”
With the saber arm in his hand, Lin Yan’s wrist sank and he swung it at the remaining left joint of the insect monster’s saber arm!
A saber beam appeared, and the insect monster’s left saber arm fell with a sound. The two terrifying saber arms were broken in the blink of an eye!
Another intense howl sounded. Its body kept trying to shrink back into a ball. The huge force kept squeezing the beam pillar. Finally, the beam pillar could not withstand it and cracked layer by layer, directly breaking!
The insect monster was overjoyed. Its four compound eyes seemed to be about to protrude. It ignored everything and wanted to curl up into a ball.
“You want to run?!”
Lin Yan swung his saber arm like a spear and stabbed out, ruthlessly stabbing into one of the insect monster’s compound eyes!
The compound eye was like a squeezed water ball, pus splattering everywhere.
In the next moment, a terrifying aura instantly erupted, and the surrounding air was blown away. A fist containing endless strength brazenly smashed down.
“Exchanging injuries for life, Thousand Pound Break!”
A terrifying force instantly erupted and landed on the insect monster’s head. It was as if he was crushing rotten wood, directly sinking its entire head. Then, the force erupted, and a large portion of the left part of the head exploded, along with the buns.
“Huh?!”
A milky-white thing that looked like a bone was faintly discernible inside the insect monster’s head. Golden patterns surrounded it, like a leaf vein.
Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed. He grabbed the insect monster’s head and pulled it out of the pit. He reached out and grabbed the bone-like thing in his hand, pulling out a slippery mucus.
“This is… Spirit Marrow!!!”
Although its shape was different from the other two, there was no doubt that it looked like the Spirit Marrow!
Lin Yan’s eyes lit up. He had been searching for the source of the Spirit Marrow, but he didn’t expect to find it here!
The insect monster on the ground was still moving its joints, abdomen, and feet, but it had clearly lost its life force and was only twitching.
The surrounding rock walls cracked and mud rolled down. The walls began to collapse, and the roof was on the verge of collapse.
Lin Yan tore with all his might and tore off a piece of carapace from the insect monster’s back. He pulled the string of sculptures and the two saber arms that had been torn off randomly and crawled out of the entrance of the hall.
BOOM!
Not long after he climbed out, the entire palace began to collapse. As Lin Yan breathed in the poisonous fog to recover from his injuries, he quickly crawled along the rock wall.
Dust and smoke scattered in all directions, and the palace completely collapsed. Dirt poured out of the palace and filled the entire palace area tightly. It was even pushed out of the palace and poured down the cliff.
The vibration spread, and half of the glazed roof outside was also affected by the vibration. It was already weak, so at this moment, it directly broke and fell into the abyss.
Lin Yan placed his palm on the rock wall and pulled a string of sculptures, saber arms, and carapaces with his other hand. He looked down at the abyss.
The black hole was so deep that one could not see the bottom. It was like a demon’s mouth that quickly swallowed the mud and roof.
Then, a series of dull echoes came from the depths of the crack, completely breaking the silent abyss.
When the poisonous fog entered his throat, his injuries quickly recovered.
Lin Yan’s gaze suddenly froze.
On the rock wall below whose depth was unknown, a few green and stiff dots suddenly appeared from the darkness and fog and quickly climbed up the rock wall.
It was those strange insect monsters again!
The insect monster’s strength was probably equivalent to the Tough Realm. It was not Lin Yan’s match.
However, it had a saber arm and a tentacle bone spike at its tail. It could even curl up into a ball to increase its defense. Lin Yan couldn’t figure out its abilities the first time he encountered it, so he suffered two consecutive injuries.
…..
Lin Yan’s gaze wandered. “One, two, three, four… If there are four, I can think of a way. After all, they have the Spirit Marrow…”
Suddenly, Lin Yan’s pupils constricted and his expression changed in shock. He turned around and used his hands and feet to climb up the rock wall crazily without looking back.
On the limestone-like rock wall below, countless dense green insect monsters crawled out of the dark abyss like a green wave. They climbed the rock wall and quickly swept up!
Insect tide!
