Wang Yu
Chapter 556: Caught Off Guard
"This insect dissolves upon entering the blood, becoming one with the host, making it almost impossible to separate. It devours the host's essence and blood to form blood tumors, which then trigger a self-detonation similar to that of a cultivator, making it extremely troublesome. Because it is extremely small and fast, it is difficult to guard against. However, this insect is very difficult to cultivate, so the insect race should not have many," Nuo Yifan explained, seeing the puzzled look on Han Li's face.
Han Li nodded upon hearing this. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Nuo Yifan beside him and shot out from the black platform as a streak of azure light.
Nuo Qinglin and the others were taken aback, then their faces also suddenly changed. They unleashed their powers and shot out in all directions.
The next moment, the ground beneath the black platform suddenly cracked open, and a huge bloody maw extended from within like lightning. The maw was filled with rows of white, sharp teeth, and it swallowed the entire black platform in one gulp. It was the giant sand beast that had just appeared.
Nuo Qinglin and most of the others narrowly escaped, but several True Immortal Realm clan leaders on the platform failed to escape in time and were swallowed by the beast along with the black platform.
The giant sand beast chewed with its huge maw, and a few screams came from within, then faded into silence.
This scene caused chaos among the tribes to which these clan leaders belonged. Fortunately, these tribes accounted for only a limited portion of the entire beast race army.
A streak of azure light flashed in the mid-air more than ten miles away, and the figures of Han Li and Nuo Yifan emerged.
Han Li looked grave, his brow furrowed slightly.
Nuo Yifan's pretty face was pale, and she quickly thanked Han Li beside her.
The viewing platform was destroyed by the sneak attack. Nuo Qinglin and the others who had safely escaped stood firm in the distance in mid-air, their faces were very ugly, and their eyes were focused on the giant sand beast that emerged from the ground without warning. They were about to join forces to attack.
But the giant sand beast ignored Nuo Qinglin and the others. Its huge body burrowed out of the ground and transformed into a blurry phantom, pouncing towards Han Li and Nuo Yifan.
Seeing this, Han Li grabbed Nuo Yifan, and golden lightning flashed across his body.
With a loud crack of thunder, the two transformed into a bolt of golden lightning and shot away into the distance.
The Thunder Escape Technique was known for its swiftness. Although Han Li was carrying someone, his speed was still much faster than the giant sand beast.
The sand beast roared angrily, and yellow light burst forth from its body. Countless yellow runes rolled within it like clouds.
Its huge body suddenly shrank by nearly half, but its speed increased by a third, and it chased after Han Li and the others.
"Yifan..." Father and daughter were connected at heart. Nuo Qinglin was anxious at the sight and was about to chase after them.
"Clan Leader Nuo, with that Human Race cultivator present, your daughter should be safe for the time being. The battle is more important," Wu Lu reached out to stop him, while looking down.
Nuo Qinglin looked down upon hearing this, and his expression changed slightly.
Among the insect race army, several giant centipedes with bodies comparable in size to the gray-skinned giants had appeared without anyone noticing. Although they were somewhat smaller than the giant sand worms, they were moving through the battlefield, extremely conspicuous.
These centipedes were silvery-white, and each segment of their bodies was snow-white and ferocious. The insect claws on both sides were extremely sharp, flashing with a cold light. They directly charged into the beast race army, constantly spraying yellow poisonous mist from their mouths.
When the beast race warriors touched the yellow mist, their entire bodies quickly rotted. Those with lower cultivation levels directly turned into a pool of pus and blood, and the ground became scorched and sizzled.
The insect race army's momentum greatly increased, led by the giant centipedes, and they constantly approached.
Although the beast race warriors desperately resisted, they still began to show a decline.
On Nuo Qinglin's side, except for a Youchen Race man with a scar on his face who seemed to have been ordered to approach Han Li, the rest of the people gathered again in the sky above the beast race army after a brief moment of distraction.
The beast race army was forced to retreat again and again. With the destruction of the black platform and without leadership, they were both surprised and frightened. The formation was somewhat chaotic, but after seeing Nuo Qinglin and the others appear, the beast race tribes seemed to have a backbone again, and their morale greatly increased.
At the same time, three Golden Immortal Realm beast race members, led by a veiled young woman, stepped out of the formation and offered a small bone-white drum, a bone flute, and a white bone flag respectively, rotating them in the void in front of them.
The three chanted incantations, and the three treasures simultaneously glowed with a layer of ghostly white light.
The ground under the three people's feet rumbled and shook, and the ground suddenly cracked open. White light flashed in the cracks, and thick animal bones emerged.
These animal bones were hundreds of feet high, and there were more than a thousand of them, arranged neatly in a row, like a fence of animal bones, blocking the front of the insect race army.
Various runes were engraved on the animal bones. Unlike ordinary array patterns, these runes were composed of various animal patterns, giving a rough feeling, but the spiritual power fluctuations emitted were unusually strong.
The veiled young woman suddenly gave a soft shout, and her two hands changed their magic arts. A black light flashed above her head, and a black token flew out.
This thing was not exquisite, and it was uneven. It seemed to be carved from the skull of a monster.
A relief animal head pattern was engraved on the surface of the token, with narrow eyes and a pointed nose, which was quite strange.
The veiled young woman opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which merged into the black token.
A layer of black light suddenly appeared on the surface of the black token, and an inexplicable aura spurted out from it. Then, the sound of sharp whistles resounded, and countless black lights flew out from the token and merged into the huge animal bones.
The spiritual patterns on these animal bones shone brightly, wriggling rapidly, and even the animal bones trembled, as if they had come alive.
Each of the animal bones suddenly emerged with spherical bulges, and then the sound of sharp whistles rose sharply. Countless sharp white bone spears shot out from them, like countless crossbow arrows, falling into the insect race army like raindrops.
All this sounds complicated, but it was just a blink of an eye.
The warriors at the forefront of the insect race army were immediately beaten into beehives, and blood flowed all over the ground.
The giant centipedes were given special treatment, and countless bone spears bombarded the giant centipedes.
Sparks flew everywhere. The shells on the surface of the giant centipedes were extremely hard, and these sharp bone spears could not do anything to them, only leaving white marks on their surfaces.
Although the bone spears could not injure the giant centipedes, they were obviously not feeling well being hit by these bone spears. They screamed in their mouths and retreated as they twisted their bodies.
At this moment, four streaks of light flew out from the insect race army and pounced like lightning.
Each streak of light exuded a powerful aura, and there were four Golden Immortal level existences.
The veiled young woman narrowed her eyes at the sight and immediately waved her hand to cast a magic trick, which merged into the bone-white small drum above her head.
The surface of the bone-white small drum flickered with light. As the deafening drum sounded, sticky white lights flew out from it and merged into all the animal bones below again.
A strange scene appeared!
Accompanied by a burst of "crackling" sounds.
All the animal bones shattered at the same time, turning into a large piece of bone-white liquid-like aura, which quickly merged with each other, forming a huge white light curtain connecting the sky and the earth, blocking the front of the beast race army.
Various animal patterns faintly appeared on the white light curtain. The white light flowed on it, like streams of water, and although it did not seem very thick, it gave a feeling of indestructibility.
The four Golden Immortal Realm insect race cultivators transformed into streaks of light and flew to the light curtain at this moment. The streaks of light converged and turned into four figures.
An old man in a yellow robe, a bald man, and two cold-looking women in golden robes, who looked very similar, seemed to be twins.
The four were obviously not expecting the white restriction to be completed so quickly, and were slightly taken aback.
But then, the old man in yellow robe waved his hand, and three golden rays flew out of his hand, flashed in front of the white light curtain, and slammed down fiercely.
Bang!
Where the golden light hit, ripples appeared on the white light curtain, spreading around, but quickly returned to calm.
The golden light of the three golden rays quickly dimmed, revealing the figures of three knife-shaped strange insects.
This insect was golden and radiant, exuding a sharp aura, like three indestructible golden swords.
The old man in yellow robe frowned slightly at the sight, and then looked at the three white bone treasures above the three people's heads, and sneered: "I have heard that the Youchen Race has three strange treasures, the Heaven Extinguishing Demon Spirit Drum, the Three Talents Primal Bone Flute, and the Heaven Covering White Bone Flag, which are refined from the remains of three True Spirits in the Grand Luo Realm, with infinite wonderful uses. Today, I will learn from them."
After speaking, he raised his hand and waved again.
Dozens of golden strange insects flew out, and after a quick spin in the air, they quickly gathered in one place.
The three golden strange insects also flew over and gathered together, turning into a golden flying sword in a blink of an eye.
The old man in yellow robe opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, which merged into the golden flying sword.
The golden flying sword suddenly wriggled gently, blooming with soaring golden light, and then solidified, turning into a hundred-zhang-sized golden giant sword, exuding a terrifying sharp aura, and then suddenly, with a heaven-opening and earth-splitting momentum, slashed towards the white light curtain.
With a deafening roar!
A long scar was slashed on the white light curtain, but it was not deep.
The veiled young woman and the other two did not change their expressions, and recited low, ancient spells, constantly pinching their fingers.
The white small drum immediately grew a few sizes and was knocked, and the bone flute also made a wailing sound. Finally, the white bone flag spun in the air, emitting bursts of white light.
At this moment, the corpses of the two races who died on the battlefield were summoned and immediately moved, shaking violently.
The flesh and blood on the corpses quickly left their bodies, revealing bloody skeletons.
Swish swish swish!
These skeletons all flew out and merged into the bone-white light curtain.
White light flashed on the light curtain, and the cracks quickly recovered.
The four Golden Immortal insect race members changed their expressions when they saw this scene.
"Hmph!"
The old man in yellow robe snorted coldly, and the golden flying sword slashed down again.
At the same time, the other three Golden Immortals of the insect race also took action.
The bald man raised his hand and waved, and a dazzling white light appeared in front of him.
Through the white light, one could see a white object inside, like a white slime, constantly wriggling, giving a creepy and strange feeling.
