Wang Yu
Chapter 544: Stay?
The numbers of both alien races were not particularly large, each only having dozens of members, but their respective methods of attack were quite peculiar.
Among the long-necked, blue-skinned race, some held short flutes of unknown material, some held small drums made of animal bone and skin, while others held bronze bells, blowing or striking them, emitting bursts of sound waves.
Accompanying this sound wave, hundreds of differently shaped, large-sized demonic beasts rushed toward the gray-brown, squat toad people like puppets on strings.
The toad people directly exposed their bellies, which seemed to be pounded from the inside, emitting bursts of "croaking" sounds.
Along with the transmission of this sound, pieces of dense, varied spirit insects either surged from the ground like a tide, or invaded from the high sky like a dark cloud, all rushing towards the blue-skinned, long-necked people.
Among the spirit insects, there were giant golden mantises as large as cattle and horses, as well as beetles as small as bees, shining with black light. Their individual auras were not particularly strong, but under the urging of these toad people, each of their auras was connected, seeming to be integrated into one, and their momentum was not at all weaker compared to the other side.
On the demonic beast side, although some had extremely thick armor, some were huge, some could breathe fire and spit electricity, and some were extremely fast, they were ultimately no match for the swarm of insects. Under the constant impact of the vast tide of spirit insects, they showed a trend of retreating steadily.
Realizing that the situation was not good, a man among the blue-skinned, long-necked people, who was the tallest, had the longest neck, and wore a necklace of white animal bones around his chest, opened his mouth and let out a violent roar.
The various sounds of controlling alien beasts on both sides all stopped, and the fighting between various demonic beasts and spirit insects also temporarily stopped.
He opened his mouth and spoke a series of words in a chattering language, but it was not the common language of the Immortal Domain. Han Li could not understand even half a word.
"Xiao Bai, what are they saying? Can you understand?" Han Li asked the Pixiu around his waist through mental communication.
"This is the common language of the barbarian races. He is questioning a person called Tu Liu, saying that they, the Xiang Jing race, have already abandoned the forest where they lived for generations and moved here as a clan. He is asking why they are still unwilling to stop and still want to exterminate them?" The Pixiu, Xiao Bai, explained through sound transmission.
Han Li frowned slightly and looked towards the toad-like alien race.
He saw a fat toad person with a layer of cyan leather armor around his waist walking out slowly. He also opened his mouth and spoke in a chattering voice, which was quite loud.
"He said, Tanshi, our Gray Toad race and your Xiang Jing race have always been mortal enemies. Now that you have lost power, we naturally want to uproot you and kill you clean." Before Han Li urged him, Xiao Bai had already taken the initiative to act as a translator.
"Hmph, are you wantonly doing this to provoke a war between the beast race and the insect race? Aren't you afraid of repeating the same mistakes as the war millions of years ago? If it happens again, our beast race will definitely exterminate all of you!" The Xiang Jing race man, called Tanshi, shouted angrily when he heard this.
"Hehe, don't think we don't know. The tribes you lead are just to lure our pursuers. Your father has taken most of the clansmen to the Kongling tribe near the Peacock River. But it's all just a futile struggle. Not to mention the Kongling tribe, even the Taxiang tribe and the Wutun tribe have been captured by our insect tribes..." Tu Liu grinned, patted his belly with his fan-like hands, and said with a loud laugh.
"What did you say? That's impossible..." Tanshi's expression changed obviously when he heard this.
"The true spirits you believe in are nothing more than grass and earthen dogs in front of our insect spirit adults... You beast race, just wait to bear the revengeful anger that our insect race has accumulated for millions of years..." Tu Liu continued, his expression becoming more and more crazy and arrogant.
"It seems that this is a conflict between the barbarian alien races, and it has nothing to do with us." Han Li said through mental communication after listening to Xiao Bai's translation, and wanted to leave here.
At this time, the golden beetle ring that had been fastened to his finger suddenly glowed with golden light and transformed into the appearance of a pink-skinned girl, landing beside him.
"Uncle, don't rush to leave. I seem to have a very strange feeling..." Her face was flushed, and her expression was a little nervous.
"Could it be that those guys' insect repellent skills have also worked on you? That's impossible. The leader among them is only at the True Immortal cultivation level. How could he affect you?" Han Li was puzzled at first, and then shook his head and said.
"I... I don't know... I just feel, it feels very strange..." Jin Tong stuttered a little.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sound of air being torn apart beside the two of them. Two golden mantises jumped over from the left and right, and four golden sickles immediately crossed and slashed towards the two of them.
Seeing this, Han Li split his hands to the left and right without saying a word, and two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords emerged, simultaneously bursting out two blue sword lights, sweeping horizontally towards the two sides.
Two soft sounds of "poof poof" came, and the bodies of the two golden mantises broke in response and fell into two pieces.
Immediately afterwards, dense black beetles surrounded them from all directions, surrounding Han Li and Jin Tong in the center.
At the same time, the Gray Toad people immediately separated a part of their people and moved towards this side.
Seeing this, Han Li simply took Jin Tong out and came to that open space.
Tu Liu looked Han Li and Jin Tong up and down, his expression changed suddenly, and he began to chatter again.
The Xiang Jing people on the other side heard this and showed angry expressions on their faces.
"What are they saying?" Han Li asked through mental communication without changing his expression.
"The toad people are saying that the Xiang Jing race has degenerated and actually joined forces with the despicable human race. No wonder the true spirits they worship can't protect them. Those long-necked people are very angry and are refuting." The white jade Pixiu replied.
"It seems that the human race is indeed very unpopular in this barbarian land..." Han Li smiled and said.
"It's not just your human race that is unpopular. All outsiders from the Immortal Domain, regardless of their race, do the same thing, either robbing or plundering, either stealing or seizing..." The white jade Pixiu stopped halfway through his words.
Hunting Wasteland cultivators, sounds high-sounding, isn't that what they do?
"Tell them that we are just passing by and have no intention of interfering in their disputes." Han Li said indifferently, and at the same time waved his hand, and the Pixiu pendant around his waist flew out, transforming into a white jade Pixiu that was ten feet long.
The white jade Pixiu first looked around, then looked at Han Li, then straightened his body and uttered barbarian words, relaying Han Li's words.
Tu Liu glanced over the white jade Pixiu, then turned his gaze to Jin Tong, looked up and down for a moment, and then turned his gaze to Han Li, opening his mouth to speak in the common language of the Northern Cold Immortal Domain:
"Despicable human race, this is our grievance with the beast race. It's best if you don't interfere. It wouldn't have been impossible to let you leave, but you just killed two of our spirit insects. How should we deal with this matter?"
"Oh? Then according to you, what do you want?" Han Li raised his eyebrows and said this.
"Leave that little doll next to you, and I will let you leave safely." Tu Liu pointed at Jin Tong and said.
Hearing this, Han Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing that this matter couldn't be resolved peacefully.
As expected, before he could say anything, Jin Tong had already rolled up her sleeves and walked out angrily.
"Are you saying, you want this fairy to stay?" She walked forward step by step, her aura rising steadily, and said coldly.
Seeing this, Tu Liu was shocked, and the expression on his face changed again and again.
The black beetles that had been surrounding Jin Tong all felt fear instinctively and retreated like a tide.
Tu Liu took a few steps back subconsciously, and hurriedly chattered again.
Seeing this, the other Gray Toad people hurriedly exposed their bellies, making bursts of "croaking" sounds.
Under their urging, the various spirit insects that had been retreating, except for a small part that still surrounded the Xiang Jing race, most of them began to pounce towards Jin Tong overwhelmingly.
"Go help too." Han Li frowned, did not move, and ordered the white jade Pixiu.
With a beast roar, the white jade Pixiu's body suddenly grew larger, transforming into a snow-white giant beast, and pounced towards the insect tide.
The dense black beetles surged in, almost instantly submerging the white jade Pixiu.
A piece of snow-white light lit up outside its body, blocking the biting of the beetles, preventing them from getting close at all.
At the same time, it opened its mouth wide, and a strong invisible suction force roared out from it, directly sucking the surging black beetles from the ground into its belly continuously.
Tanshi and the other Xiang Jing people had been whispering to each other and had not taken any action. Seeing this scene at this moment, their eyes fell on the white jade Pixiu, and their eyes flashed with surprise.
On the other side, Jin Tong was also shining with golden light all over her body, directly transforming into a giant golden beetle. Her two forelimbs waved continuously, and with the sharp whistling sound of "chi chi", sword-shaped crystal lights flew out. Wherever they passed, all the spirit insects had no power to resist at all and were cut into pieces. Fragments of limbs and carcasses were scattered all over the ground.
Seeing this scene, Tu Liu was simply like seeing a ghost.
It was only one insect and one beast, and the middle-aged man of the human race didn't even need to take action, and his spirit insect army had already been beaten to the point of being unable to resist, with deaths and injuries.
Seeing this, Tanshi's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he hurriedly shouted loudly in the barbarian language.
The Xiang Jing race's morale was greatly boosted, and they immediately urged their respective demonic beasts to rush towards the Gray Toad race's spirit insects that were surrounding them.
The Gray Toad race, which had been in full swing, was now being disrupted by Jin Tong and the Pixiu, and was instantly dispersed.
Knowing that the situation was not good, Tu Liu hurriedly gesticulated and howled strangely, commanding the spirit insects to launch a final assault, and at the same time calling on the clansmen to retreat quickly.
