Chapter 77: The Attack of the Strange Insects

Light and shadow intertwined, a powerful aura stirred the air. Red spear shadows pierced through the night sky, unstoppable like a broken army, but were instantly swallowed by a massive bloody mouth halfway.

Speeding through the sky, Jinyun E, wearing a ghostly mask, complained while clutching his stomach, “Not tasty.”

As he spoke, a huge black monument formed from shadows descended from the sky.N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

Seeing this, Bai Chong with the number nine marked on his chests produced crackling sounds under his black and white robes. Then, a gigantic scorpion tail emerged from under his robes and swung upward. In the blink of an eye, it smashed the black monument into pieces.

Bai Chong was holding a statue of a ghostly Buddha with three heads and six arms in his hands. The Buddha’s belly wriggled, and in moments, it spat out a pile of debris.

“This Dragon Protection Monument is indeed fake,” the Buddha statue said, sounding as if everything was within its expectations.

“Where is the real one?” Bai Chong asked.

“I couldn’t predict that, but it must be that old fogey who blocked the heavenly secrets. However, I can be certain that the Dragon Protection Monument is not in Qiyuan City,” the Buddha statue grinned.

Bai Chong said calmly, “They knew the Dragon Protection Monument was fake, yet they pursued us relentlessly. It seems like they want someone to escort the real Dragon Protection Monument back to Qiyuan City.”

“After all, the Dragon Protection Monument cannot leave the Dragon Vein for too long,” the Buddha anticipated this and then asked, “Bai Chong, did your informants find anything?”

“Just a moment,” a rustling sound came from under the black and white robes. After a while, Bai Chong spoke again, “I think I’ve found it.”

Swish!

A strong sword qi, like raging waves, sliced through the air towards the airborne pair of insects.

Jinyun’s bloated belly trembled, and the big mouth of the void appeared again, swallowing up all the sword qi.

“Not tasty, not fun,” Jinyun patted his belly and complained.

The Buddha statue grinned, “Since we’ve found it, let’s play with them.”

While speaking, the Buddha statue’s middle pair of arms joined together, and in the void, a black line cut through the space, opening a dark and endless door.

“The Buddha said, all beings are ignorant.”

From the depths of the dark door, strange deafening roars echoed.

“It’s insects!” Qin Feng lowly growled as a warning.

As soon as he spoke, a wasp-like insect, but with the size of a palm, attacked from the right side. Its sharp mouthparts and sharp tails, illuminated by the eerie light, emitted a ghostly green glow, sending shivers down one’s spine.

This insect was incredibly fast; its buzzing sound had just started when it arrived in front of the five people. Unfortunately for it, it picked the wrong opponent.

Cang Feilan drew a dagger from her waist, and in a flash of silver, the wasp-like insect was split into two and fell to the ground.

However, the group remained vigilant. During this brief moment, the insects surrounding them had already formed a dense circle around them. They varied in size and had bizarre and terrifying shapes.

Qin Feng immediately thought of the man from the Moonlit Pavilion, the muscular man’s words, and his face turned grim. “The attackers who targeted Qiyuan City have found us.”

Crack! Crack!

Various insect cries echoed continuously, similar to how venomous snakes hiss before spewing poison. They were sounding their alarm before launching an attack.

Yang He took out an eight-sided white flag and threw it into the air. With a whooshing sound, the eight-sided white flag instantly landed in eight different positions.

He didn’t stop there; he quickly bit his finger, and fresh blood dripped onto the formation. The white flag emitted a red light. Whenever a bug entered the formation, it was inexplicably crushed to powder by an unknown force.

This was the Eight-Faced Forbidden Formation, sealing the ghosts within the white flag, linked by their essence and blood. It could block the entry of all things into the formation.

However, this formation was not invincible. The strength of the insects outside varied, and the Eight-Faced Forbidden Formation could only block insects below the Third Calamity Cycle level. It couldn’t instantly kill more powerful entities.

As expected, after numerous insects were killed, those below the Third Transformation level retreated. Larger, more powerful insects appeared before them.

Among them were scorpions the size of adults, shimmering with purple light.

There were creatures covered in spikes resembling meatballs.

There were large bees with eight pairs of wings.

But what made Qin Feng’s hair stand on end the most was a massive centipede surrounded and coiled by the other insects. Even though it hadn’t extended its body, its raised body was enough for Qin Feng to look up in fear!

The giant centipede waved its hook-like feet, and its sharp teeth clashed, accompanied by a sharp scream.

These formidable insects charged at the five people!
