Chapter 217 Insect Demon's Mischief
wrong!
Chen Dahai realized something was wrong and shouted, "Yue Kaishan, be careful!"
careful?
Yue Kaishan was unaware of any other dangers, but he still chose to trust his comrades and changed his charging angle several times in an attempt to stop the cheetah.
Clearly, he did not understand what Yue Kaishan meant by danger.
Several demonic beasts suddenly appeared from the blind spot. They were all the same kind of demonic beasts, twisted insects with the innate supernatural power to move trees. It was a group of first-grade demonic beasts working together.
The fallen tree began to roll, its side branches breaking off one by one, slowly but irresistibly rolling towards Yue Kaishan.
"Kill the insect demon! Kill the insect bites quickly!" Chen Dahai shouted, struggling to maintain his balance as he pushed the wheelchair. The trees below tumbled a few times, and the wheelchair was almost smoking from being pushed so hard.
However, the battle was extremely chaotic, with fifteen first-grade demonic beasts appearing at once, making it difficult to keep up with the sight. When Xuan Jing heard Da Hai's shout, he turned around and saw a large dragonfly flying towards him, assuming that it was asking him to kill the flying demonic beast.
"Wait, I'll be right there."
With travel talismans already affixed to his feet, Xuan Jing was quite fast, and he threw out three flying sword talismans as soon as he jumped up.
The talisman burst into flames in the air, and three flying swords instantly shot out from the black smoke, piercing straight into the dragonfly's chest.
Three streaks of light flashed past, but Chen Dahai's crossbow bolts were a step faster, killing it instantly with a few shots. The dragonfly monster turned into dust and disappeared, while three flying swords pierced through the void.
"Damn it!" Xuan Jing almost jumped up in shock. He saw that after the three flying swords reached a high place, they turned their tips around and locked onto the nearest object emanating spiritual energy.
Unlike magical artifacts, runes lose control once they take effect.
"Ocean, watch out for flying swords."
"Xuanjing, thank you..."
Chen Dahai made a quick decision, pulled the handbrake, and tumbled down the rolling, thick tree trunk.
At this moment, Yue Kaishan was still being chased by the tree trunk.
A wheelchair landed on top of him, but Yue Kaishan reacted quickly, bracing himself with both hands and running with Chen Dahai in his arms. His movements were incredibly skillful.
The not-so-intelligent flying sword lost its target and struck the tree trunk, transforming into a burst of spiritual energy that cracked the trunk further.
Zhong Ming was engrossed in the battle outside, remaining completely calm despite being surrounded. Just as he was about to sweep his spear horizontally, a gust of wind suddenly swept in. He instinctively dodged backward, only to see the demonic beast that had pounced on him miss its target and be smashed to pieces by a thick wooden pillar in the blink of an eye.
As he retreated, he landed near a demonic ape. The enemy didn't hesitate and swung his huge fist at him.
Zhong Ming snorted coldly, quickly pulled the spear with his back hand, slid his front hand along the shaft, turned his body to the side, and thrust the Chen-style backhand spear into the opponent's chest.
The "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" fluttered in the air. The ape was stunned for a moment, then immediately dodged backward, its legs kicking so hard that they created two deep craters in the ground.
This, this, this is not right.
Before it could think further, Zhong Ming took a step forward. Seeing the enemy retreat, he turned his spear, ready to strike, and spun around once before stepping forward in a thrusting stance, leaning forward and thrusting the spear out. His hands slid rapidly along the shaft until they hit the tip of the spear.
The attack range of the sudden cold snap caught the ape off guard; its chest was instantly pierced open, and the spear tip sank an inch into its flesh.
In actual combat, this injury was nothing, but at this moment its face was ashen, its body dimmed, and it disappeared.
Zhong Ming finally noticed something was wrong.
Are top-tier demonic beasts really that weak?
He raised the spear with one hand and struck the shaft with his other elbow, using the spear tip to cleave the head of a monster in one blow. Just then, a tiger pounced from the wasteland and was already close by. Zhong Ming opened his mouth and spat out the mother-and-child sword, slashing it down with one strike.
"When~~"
The longsword pierced the enemy's body, and Zhong Ming was also thrown back a great distance as if he had been hit by a tiger with all his might.
After tapping his feet on the ground several times, Zhong Ming finally realized what was wrong.
The recoil from the late spring chill was too weak; he had always assumed that after he killed the opponent, the enemy's body no longer existed, so he could easily continue swinging his gun.
Now it seems I was careless.
The tiger roared, but it was powerless to withstand the attack from a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator. It slowly collapsed and turned into dust.
Zhong Ming didn't have much time to think, because he discovered...
It felt like I was on the path of a large log.
"Holy shit, what's going on?"
"Insect demons! It's insects that bit us!" Chen Dahai shouted with difficulty, his crossbow bolts constantly searching for an opportunity to shoot the insect demons, but he couldn't see them at all. Yue Kaishan had already changed positions many times, but still couldn't find them.
The trees were chasing Yue Kaishan. Zhong Ming calmed down and shouted, "Brother Yue, let's split up and run." He then immediately ran to the other side.
As expected, the tree trunk was completely under control. It lurched a few times, adjusted its direction, and continued to chase after Yue Kaishan. Along the way, a slow-moving demon beast was violently struck and dragged under the tree trunk. When it passed by, the beast had disappeared and was presumably dead.
"Great! Brother Yue, charge towards the other demonic beasts. Xuanjing, let's find the insect demon."
These fifteen demonic beasts appeared to be surrounding and attacking, but the massive, earth-shattering roller rolling towards them truly demonstrated what it meant to "scatter like birds and beasts."
Zhong Ming stepped back a few paces, taking advantage of the brief moment to examine the late spring chill. He quickly realized that it was very likely the help of the Spirit Nursing Home.
'Could it be that these artifact spirits are helping me?'
He had no time to think; his immediate priority was to find the insect demon. He looked around but couldn't find it; it had either burrowed underground or hidden in a tree.
Considering their innate supernatural abilities, they should... and so on.
Zhong Ming, carrying the late-spring chill, fired a shot at the broken tree branch in front of him.
Could it be that they're just pretending to be broken trees scattered all over the ground to fool me?
Cicada? Stick insect?
Zhong Ming used his gun to lift the branch off the ground, and seeing no reaction, he quickly rushed towards another thick, broken branch.
Seeing this, Xuanjing immediately understood Zhongming's thoughts. The enemy must have some kind of body camouflage or transformation ability, like many mimicking insects, making their appearance resemble tree bark and leaves.
He immediately unleashed several explosive talismans, and a series of explosions resounded around him.
"Captain, I've found one."
A worm-like demon, engulfed in flames, writhed on the ground, its body oozing a disgusting, viscous liquid.
