Chapter 287: Chapter 165: Entering the Demon Insect’s Nest (Part 2)
Translator: 549690339
“There are several Eight-Rank Four-winged Sky Demon Insects flying towards this position. Could some of you take action?” Zhang Qian pointed to a spacious building ahead.
This building seemed to have been a gathering place for aristocrats. Its outline appeared somewhat extravagant and luxurious. However, this place which should have been splendidly magnificent was now shrouded in a thick shadow, coated in a sticky black insect fluid on the outside, emitting a foul and nauseating odor.
“We should pass through this gathering place, it will save us much trouble,” Zhang Qian added, his gaze immediately focusing on the Four-winged Sky Demon Insects flying out from the building.
Eight-Rank Four-winged Sky Demon insects are quite fierce, the Soul Pets of the guards would find it relatively difficult to deal with them. After some discussion, Ye Qingzi’s Ice and Fire Fairy was tasked to deal with the situation.
An Eighth Rank War General Level and a Seventh Rank Commander Level are equal in rank. However, Ye Qingzi’s Ice and Fire Fairy had been enhanced to a higher level compared to Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit. With the assistance of other people’s Soul Pets and underestimating the Eight-Rank unenhanced Soul Pets, they had plenty of advantages.
Ice Sword Array!
As the Spirit Incantation echoed long and clear, enormous ice swords gradually floated around the Ice and Fire Fairy. These ice swords were only about five meters long, not as massive as the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s swords, but their attack power was clearly much stronger than that of the Ice-Feathered Spirit!
Xuan Crystal Ice Swords appeared slowly, aiming accurately at the incoming Eight-Rank Four-winged Sky Demon Insects, filling the area with a sudden chill.
“This many ice swords may not be able to kill that creature.” Zhang Qian glanced at Ye Qingzi’s Ice and Fire Fairy and remarked.
The defenses of the Eight-Rank Four-winged Sky Demon Insect were quite strong; several Xuan Crystal Ice Swords couldn’t possibly inflict real damage on the Sky Demon Insects.
“Stack them!” Ye Qingzi didn’t seem bothered, still focusing on controlling her Ice and Fire Fairy!
The Incantation was almost instantaneously chanted, and the Ice and Fire
Fairy immediately used the stacking skill. The number of swords in the Ice Sword Array of the Ice and Fire Fairy was already thirty, and with stacking, it instantly reached sixty!
These sixty ice swords hovered in the air, chill wind seeping out from it, showcasing its overwhelming momentum. Zhang Qian, who was initially intending to ask Ye Qingzi’s Ice and Fire Fairy to use a more potent skill, abruptly decided against it after witnessing this state of affairs. He cautiously glanced at the beautifully fierce woman..
Sixty Xuan Crystal Ice Swords, what a massive momentum! After the first few ice swords shot out, all the ice swords behind shot out. Under the Ice and Fire
Fairy’s fine control, they accurately pierced towards the Four-Wing Sky Demon Insects that were constantly shifting positions in the air!
“Boom Boom Boom!!!”
As the Ice Swords swept over, the chilling air enveloped everything. The Eight-Rank Four-winged Sky Demon Insects, no matter how strong their flight abilities were, they still couldn’t dodge this fine control of the Ice Sword ability!
When Ice Swords bombarded the Sky Demon Insects, they instantly shattered into fragments of ice, sprinkling from the sky onto the ground. Among them, one Four-Winged Sky Demon Insect suffered continuous bombardment from ten ice swords and was fiercely blasted into a pitch-black window of the gathering place…
“Good control ability.” Upon seeing Ye Qingzi’s Ice and Fire Fairy’s one attack nearly solving the Four-winged Sky Demon Insects at the Eighth-Rank, Meng Huazhong also revealed a somewhat approving expression.
“There might be quite a few Sky Demon Insects inside this building as well, everyone be careful.” Zhang Qian warned.
After finishing his statement, Zhang Qian glanced at Feng Qi and said, “You take the lead, burst open the main door.”
Feng Qi nodded, immediately summoning his own Sixth Rank Seventh Stage Blood Fury Abyss Beast!
Blood Fury Abyss Beast: Demon Beast World- Beast Clan- Abyssal Beast Clan Blood Fury Abyss Beast – Commander Level.
The Blood Fury Abyss Beast, with a physique fully built with strength like combination of a bear and ape, is absolutely a power type within the beast clan
Soul Pets!
“Roar!!!” The Blood Fury Abyss Beast roared. Its iron-like arms brutally smacked the ground, directly causing the ground to split!
A long earth split rapidly expanded from the position where the Blood Fury Abyss Beast smashed the ground to the main door of the gathering place building. The main door, which was plastered with countless black insect fluids, was instantly shattered!
“Whoosh—–——-”
As the main door shattered, a nauseating black insect gas instantly gushed out, hitting everyone’s bodies and causing a round of screams.
“It’s the Insect’s poison; everyone, please be careful.” Ye Qingzi slightly furrowed her brows, reminding everyone who had their Soul Pets taking the lead with her Soul Sense condensed into sound.
Plant Spirit Beasts have strong immunity to poisons. Some specialized Wood Type Soul Pets can even absorb the poison into their bodies, which converts it into their vitality.
Obviously, these guards were all trained, and they quickly retracted their Beast Soul Pets as they sensed the insect’s poison surging towards them. They let their plant-type Soul Pets weave various plant obstacles to absorb the poison.
A total of thirteen Plant Spirit Beasts extended numerous roots from underground, rapidly forming a forest of roots.
The vines crisscrossed in mid-air, many of them spread over nearby streets, street lamps, windows, and walls, weaving into a robust vine grid…
The black insect gas, like dark clouds rushing towards them, was immediately blocked by this plant defense. The plant defense was airtight, not letting out a single bit of poisonous gas and was quickly absorbed by the plants with purification abilities, transforming it into their vitality.
“Buzz buzz buzz!
Suddenly, a thunderous clamor emanated from behind the plant defense. Everyone could clearly hear the sound of wings beating furiously. An oppressive aura seeped through the wall of plants, encompassing everyone in its reach.
“Everyone on guard, summon your defense Soul Pets!” warned Zhang Qian, his face instantly changing as he zeroed in on the plant wall above.
The plant wall stood approximately twenty meters high. As Chu Mu looked up, he was taken aback by the sight of nearly a hundred Sky Demon Insects flying from behind the wall. They hovered menacingly over the towering buildings, their deadly red eyes fixed on everyone present.
“This is one of the spots where the most Sky Demonic Insects are gathered.
Leave the insects to my men. The four of us will charge in, take out the Beast Lord of this lair, and these bugs will scatter away,” instructed Zhang Qian instantly.
“Are your men capable of handling it?” Meng Huazhong, casting a glance at the swarm of insects, queried.
“No worries, they have undergone strict training and are excellent at coordinating with each other. Even if the number doubles, they can definitely handle it,” asserted Zhang Qian.
“Right. Follow me, everyone. My Rock Meteor Spirit has already dug the tunnel. We can go through it,” revealed Feng Qi.
Chu Mu immediately bent down and, to his surprise, noticed a narrow cave that hadn’t been there earlier. When had it been dug? He didn’t have the slightest inkling.
With Feng Qi leading, followed by Meng Huazhong, Zhang Qian and Ye Qingzi were in the middle, and Chu Mu at the rear. All five of them promptly jumped into the excavated cave, gliding beneath the towering wall of plants into the gathering place.
“Buzz!!!
Just as they jumped into the tunnel, a Sky Demon Insect that had been overlooked by the guards abruptly folded its wings and swooped down from the sky, diving straight into the cave!
“Chu Mu, behind you!” warned Meng Huazhong, being a Soul Lord, he had immediately perceived the imminent threat from a formidable Sky Demon Insect.
Chu Mu, too, was aware of it, but he didn’t pay it any heed, for behind him was MO Ye in his Chu Lian state.
“Whimper-
With its tail still coiled around the compressed blood bottle, Little MO Xie lazily licked its paws. Its silver eyes stared haughtily at the Four-winged Sky Demon Insect that had intruded.
Completely ignoring Little MO Xie, the Four-winged Sky Demon Insect rapidly advanced into the cave using its four arms.
Crown Flame Claw!
As the Four-winged Sky Demon Insect approached, MO Ye’s claws nonchalantly swung open, and instantly, a dazzling crown flame claw mark lit up amidst the pitch-black cave, mercilessly slashing through the body of the insect!
MO Ye’s claws, having reached the seventh level late-stage, under the effect of Level 6 Full-State Offensive Soul Equipment, possessed an attack power nearly at the eighth level, even without using skills. One swing from its Crown Flame Claw would be difficult to fend off even for a Six-winged Sky Demon Insect, let alone an unstrengthened Four-winged Sky Demon Insect of the eighth rank! The Claw Blade effortlessly cleaved the Four-winged Sky Demon Insect in half, the intense crown flame immediately followed the open wound to incinerate the insect’s organs and blood!
“Puff—–”
The Crown Flame incinerated the insect, and within a few seconds, the Four-winged Sky Demon Insect turned to ashes in the cave. The crown flame too, rapidly extinguished..
“That’s your Nine-Tailed Crown Flame Fox, isn’t it?” Meng Huazhong, turning around to glance at the instantly obliterated Eighth-rank Four-winged Sky Demon Insect, inquired with a hint of astonishment.
“Yeah,” responded Chu Mu, nodding.
“Quite a powerful Soul Pet,” commented Meng Huazhong, his voice tinted with envy.
Although Meng Huazhong was a Soul Lord, he did not possess a Monarch Soul Pet. Thus far, he had been controlling high-rank Commander soul pets. So, naturally, possessing a perfect Commander soul pet with combat power comparable to a Monarch was a coveted dream of every Soul Pet Master.
“MO Xie, don’t use Blood Flame…” advised Chu Mu as they continued their journey.
“Whimper- ” MO Xie cooed, in a seemingly adorable manner, acknowledging that it had yet again, forgotten Chu Mu’s instruction to collect the Sky Demonic Insect’s blood.
The blood of an Eighth-rank Four-winged Sky Demon Insect was equivalent to five portions of blood. MO Xie, being habitual of incinerating the corpses, led to losing a substantial quantity of the blood material.
“The tunnel can only go as far as here. We’ll have to proceed on the ground beyond this point. Some Sky Demonic Insects have incredibly strong senses. If we are detected by them, it would be hard for us to wield our full power underground,” warned Feng Qi.
“True,” nodded everyone in agreement. This was common knowledge they all understood.
“We should be directly below the main hall of the gathering place. This hall likely houses a lot of eggs and is guarded by numerous mother Sky Demonic Insects. Once we break in, those with fire souls can summon them. We’ll use fire to break through and reach the central hall at the rear of this gathering place. That’s where the Beast Lord who has claimed the spacious central hall is supposed to be,” explained Zhang Qian.
