Chapter 355: Replacement (2)

“Hurry!”
The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother understood tacitly. The flesh pillar bound the Spirit Turtle clone and cut into the mouth of the Insect Head phantom. At this moment, Lin Yan did not dare to control it anymore, afraid that he would attract the attention of the Divine General. Therefore, the Insect Head phantom closed its mouth again, biting the Spirit Turtle clone in its mouth.
Lin Yan let out a long breath. “Success!”
That Divine General’s control over the Gadfly Kings was not like his Formless True Self. Instead, it was a pure and violent command and spiritual control, similar to the Insect Kings controlling the Insect Demons.
He had previously asked the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. Now that the spirituality of these Gadfly Kings had all been burned at the same time, the Divine General’s perception and control of the insect king had already been reduced to the lowest.
Just from the fact that the Divine General didn’t make a sound through the Gadfly Kings after forming the insect king chain, Lin Yan could tell that the most he could sense was a large change in the movement of the insect king chain.
Moreover, Lin Yan had already tried his best to be careful and complete his actions simply and quickly. There was naturally no problem. Even if the Divine General sensed that a worm head suddenly opened its mouth, he would only think that the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother had tried her best to break free and was bitten again.
The aura of the Spirit Turtle clone was exactly the same as the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, so it would not reveal any flaws.
After confirming that there was no problem with this, Lin Yan and the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother immediately rushed to the other seven places in succession. They replaced all the bite positions with the Spirit Turtle clones without causing any commotion.
“The God General will be here soon. Do you have a way to shrink your body? If not, you can only take the risk to control your clones and make them open at a certain angle. However, you might attract the God General’s attention.”
The consciousness of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother flipped over. “Don’t worry!”
Her consciousness began to tremble and glow. Her entire body actually began to emit a faint light.
The light enveloped the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s entire body. Then, it was like compressed plasticine, causing her body to continuously shrink.
However, at the same time, the Insect King chains that were originally surrounding the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother began to shrink and reduce the encirclement.
However, the anchor points were determined by the positions where the eight insect heads were biting. Therefore, when they contracted, they were a step slower than the shrinking of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.
When the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother shrank to about 200 meters in length and width, the Insect King chain had yet to be completely retracted, revealing a huge gap.
The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother gently jumped out of the gap!
However, at the same time, golden light erupted around her body. A portion of her body that was about a hundred meters long was forcefully separated!
The body bent and folded. Soon, it turned into a ball of material that looked like a turtle shell. It was wrapped in the center by the Insect King Chains.
From afar, it was as if an incomparably huge island of chains had appeared on the sea. Layers of chains occupied the sea and wrapped tightly around the middle.
As for the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, she jumped out of the encirclement without any obstruction. She still could not believe it and swam around the Insect Kings’ chains.
“What are you waiting for? Let’s leave quickly!”
Lin Yan was clinging to the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s back and hurriedly shouted.
The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother immediately shuddered. She stuck her head out and dived into the sea. Without looking back, she swam crazily towards the deep sea domain.
Lin Yan’s entire body was wrapped in the Black Tortoise Divine Armor. He swam through the water along the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s body and entered her body through an opening.
Sensing the environment with the help of the Insect Kings’ clones, Lin Yan heaved a long sigh of relief. There was still some time before the Divine General found the location of the Insect King Chains. This bit of time was enough for the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, who was proficient in water travel, to escape far enough!
Beside him, a little turtle with a golden glow appeared again. It climbed and jumped along Lin Yan’s body excitedly.
Old Qin, who had been hiding in Lin Yan’s arms, also crawled out.
“Big Brother, you’re awesome! You’re awesome! You even dodged the Divine General! You’ve simply completed a magnificent feat that no human being, wait, no living creature, has been able to accomplish in hundreds of years!”
At this moment, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s consciousness body, Little Turtle, suddenly raised its leg and kicked Old Qin’s face sculpture that had already recovered, sending him flying into the air.
“Aiyo, aiyo! Little Turtle! I was wrong, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have told you to wait for death. 1 just… didn’t know that Big Brother was so awesome! Big Brother is awesome!”
The golden turtle circled Old Qin again. “I’m already awake. How dare you call me Little Turtle?”
“No, no, no, Sister Turtle, Sister Turtle! You’re my Sister Turtle!”
“Hmph! If you’re not him, your spiritual substance aura is very similar to his.
But if you’re him, I’d never believe that he’ll become like you!”
Lin Yan interrupted, “Who are you talking about?”
“Qin Jun, that was a person I knew hundreds of years ago. A very bold, brave, and determined young man…”
“Qin Jun, Old Qin, Jun…”
Lin Yan couldn’t think of anything relevant for a moment. He changed the topic and asked, “You left behind a portion of your body just now. What is that?”
“That one was used to confuse the Divine General. It’s a part of my body!”
“A part of your body? Is it alright to separate it just like that?”
“Oh, I didn’t say it clearly. That’s not my real body, but a part of my Treasure Image spirit body. Although it will decrease my spirituality after splitting up, it won’t hurt me, so it’s fine. However, the Treasure Image spirit body is actually equivalent to a part of my real body. How should I put it…”
Lin Yan had indeed comprehended something himself. “The real body is your original flesh and blood body, and the Treasure Image spirit body was actually condensed later. It’s similar to flesh and blood, but they’re not completely the same?”
“Yes, yes, yes. That’s the gist. The battlefields that I sealed previously were also from the Treasure Image spirit body.”
The Treasure Image Spirit Body looked like a rather special ability.
“How big is your real body of flesh and blood?”
“It’s my size now.”
“In the records, it’s true that you once carried 100,000 people to survive?”
“That’s right. They actually lived on my Treasure Image. There’s no choice. I’ve accumulated too much spiritual power previously. Most of it was injected into the Treasure Image, causing its body to spread.”
Spiritual power? Another completely new concept.
However, Lin Yan didn’t have the time to probe further. “Stop moving for a while… That Divine General is here!”
The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother immediately trembled. In the previous period of time, she had already swam at least dozens of kilometers. Her depth had even fallen to the deepest part of the seabed. She was at the intersection of the change in gravity.
Logically speaking, this distance was far enough and she was extremely difficult to discover. However, facing a Divine General, it was not too much to be careful.
Therefore, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother immediately hid. A layer of golden luster appeared on the surface of her body. Its function was somewhat similar to Lin Yan’s Black Tortoise Divine Armor. It could hide her aura and figure. They crawled in the deep sea. Even the noisy Old Qin did not dare to breathe loudly and held his voice.
Lin Yan wasn’t as exaggerated as them. He only focused all his attention and used his Insect King clones to sense the Divine General who had suddenly arrived.
However, the spirituality of the Insect Kings’ clones was already chaotic. Furthermore, in the real world, the perception of the clones was far inferior to that of the fog spiritual world. Therefore, Lin Yan could only roughly sense it.
The Divine General was not huge. Compared to the insect king chains that covered the sky, it was like a drop in the ocean.
Therefore, when he first appeared, Lin Yan could only sense a vague figure. Occasionally, he would not even sense it.
However, in the next moment, nearly a quarter of Lin Yan’s clones suddenly lost their senses and died instantly!
In his senses, it was not just his insect king clones, but the entire insect king chain.. A quarter of it that was connected to the Gadfly Kings suddenly shattered into pieces!
