Chapter 1388
Early in the morning, a thin layer of mist shrouded the long canyon.
Hundreds of Dao Querying Realm cultivators swarmed into the canyon. They were silent, but their movements were swift.
Yang Yongxing, the Lightning King of Dharmaraja, flew at the front, and beside him was Gu Chen, who was dressed in white.
The entire team was organized and efficient, traversing through the canyon at the fastest speed possible.
In the canyon ahead, white bones were like snow, and the stench of corpses was overwhelming. At this point, the hundreds of cultivators stopped in their tracks.
Buzz buzz buzz —
Beneath the skeletons of the giant beasts, on both sides of the cliffs, countless silver beetles smelled the scent of invaders. They all spread their wings and flew up.
Tens of thousands of them circled in the sky, and the surroundings were filled with silver mist.
"Destroy this bug tide, advance as fast as you can!"
Dharmaraja Yang ordered coldly.
Instantly, the outermost cultivators glowed with light, and their treasures danced in the air.
Especially the many generals of Lei Commandery, who joined forces to activate their Lightning Spears. Everywhere the spears passed, the ground was scorched.
The silver beetles in the canyon were quickly destroyed, leaving behind a large patch of corpses.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Dharmaraja Yang led the way into the next canyon, looking like he was going straight for the root of the problem.
"I've long heard that Lei Commandery's army is good at blitzkrieg. Today, I see that they live up to their reputation."
Chu Meixin said softly as she followed behind Gu Chen and looked at the team that was advancing toward the Zerg's nest at an extremely high efficiency.
"We've only destroyed one wave. The number of bugs here is unimaginable."
Fatty Qian shook his head. He had dream-traversed the world and carefully investigated everything here. He knew that the bug tide just now was just a drop in the bucket.
Turning the corner of the canyon, a large patch of silver light surged towards them. The cultivators, who had their morale boosted by the previous battle, changed their expressions.
The number of silver beetles in front of them was already in the hundreds of thousands!
"Hmph, it seems like these bugs have no natural enemies in the secret place. They have already multiplied to an extremely terrifying level."
Dharmaraja Yang's eyes darkened. He clenched his fists, and lightning appeared.
Kaboom!
He turned into a bolt of lightning and led the charge. Everywhere he passed, the sound of explosions rang out continuously.
"Kill!"
The cultivators from all sides also made their moves. The energy of their Daoist techniques flooded the canyon, and the flying magical treasures caused the ground to shake!
The canyon that was originally silent in the night was completely awakened by this fierce battle, ushering in an incomparably bloody day.
Spatial Rend Slash!
Gu Chen stood in the middle of the battlefield. With a casual flick of his sleeves, countless spatial cracks opened up, either slicing or devouring the Bug race beings that came close.
He had only revealed his space-time powers in front of Yang Fawang, so naturally, he would not reveal any more.
Fatty Qian, Chu Meixin, and Qi Family's Ancestor Xuan were mixed in the crowd. They didn't want to be a burden to the team, but they didn't want to risk their lives. They just quietly waited for the opportunity to come.
According to his expectations, the head spirit would appear when they reached the depths and saw the Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo.
At that time, the situation would quickly evolve into a battle between the head beast and the head spirit, and their opportunity would come at about the same time.
Amidst the swarm of insects that filled the sky, the team of over a hundred cultivators was like a sharp knife, stabbing straight into the depths of the nest.
Because everyone cooperated very well, and the individual strength of the insect swarm was not high, there were very few casualties along the way.
"There are so many fierce insects here, is the old turtle and the Bug King really in a stalemate?"
As they gradually approached the depths, Yang Fawang began to feel that something was wrong, and he looked at Gu Chen with an unfriendly gaze.
With the old Black Tortoise's strength, if he really fought with the Bug King here, the mountains would have collapsed and the ground would have cracked.
"We've been away from here for a few days, and we don't know the details." Gu Chen pretended to look solemn, as if he was also very surprised by the current situation.
"Hmph, what you said earlier better be true, otherwise …"
Yang Fawang had already guessed that their information might not be completely true. He was unhappy, and his eyes were gloomy as he threatened a few times.
"Don't worry, Fawang, everyone here is your people, I don't have that kind of guts."
Gu Chen replied "tactfully", and Yang Fawang felt a little relieved when he heard this.
That's right, everyone here was his people, and the other party only had four people. He really didn't believe that they would dare to play any tricks.
Moreover, he had also asked the old Black Tortoise's original ten subordinates. When the old Black Tortoise had set a trap to capture the Head Beast, he had indeed encountered an insect swarm. Judging from the situation at that time, he should be here.
The old Black Tortoise was here, and the Bug King was also here, so the rumored Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo should also be true.
This kind of thing could be seen with one look, and if these people were lying, he would definitely not let them off!
The deeper they went, the denser the insect swarm became, and the team's battle formation started to become messy, and they were starting to feel a little overwhelmed.
After leaving behind more than 75 cultivator corpses and paying a huge price, the team finally arrived at the core area of the Bug Race!
This canyon stretched for dozens of miles, and after turning around the throat guarded by the Kui Cow and the Rock Snake King, it was the location of the Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo's strange space, which was also the Bug King's residence!
When they arrived here, a terrifying and oppressive aura flowed out, causing many Dao Querying Realm cultivators to inexplicably tremble in fear.
"Is this the aura of that Bug King? The Head Beast in this mystic land actually has such a terrifying aura? "
Many cultivators murmured softly, and those who were injured hurriedly took out elixirs to consume. They were afraid that in the upcoming battle, they would end up like their companions who had died in battle if they were not careful.
"Look! That's the Bug Race's treasure trove, right? "
Suddenly, someone pointed to a cave on the cliff. That was the Bug Race's treasure trove that Gu Chen and Fatty Qian had discovered earlier.
If their judgment was correct, the treasures that the Bug Race had found in the mystic land over the countless years, as well as the storage rings that they had plundered from the cultivators they had killed earlier, were all placed inside.
Dharmaraja Yang looked at the cave, and his eyes also revealed a hint of fervent passion.
Although they had collected many treasures over the past few days, how could they compare to the riches that the Bug Race had accumulated over countless years?
"Dharmaraja Yang, past this canyon is where the first herb is. The treasures here can be taken later," Gu Chen reminded him.
When Dharmaraja Yang heard this, his eyes flickered.
"You said that the Old Black Tortoise and the Bug King were in a stalemate, but I haven't heard any movement until here. Your words are already very difficult to believe."
"Since there are so many treasures here, we naturally have to ensure that the treasures here will not be stolen before we slowly advance."
He laughed coldly and waved his hand, indicating for everyone to attack those caves.
His order was what many cultivators were hoping for. They would not get the first herb, but they could still get a share of the treasure trove.
Many cultivators rushed forward and decided to attack the treasure trove first.
"The Bug King is just ahead. Don't these guys know what's important and what's not?" Fatty Qian watched anxiously.
