Chapitre 52: A Lot Of Money
[Chapter 52]
Facing six blade insect leaders at once, even an expert of the Xiantian Secret Realm would feel a little flustered.
Whether it was in terms of speed or strength, the blade insect leaders were far more powerful than ordinary blade insects, but these were not the most frightening. The most frightening thing about them was the poison on their spikes.
In the desert, there was a kind of poisonous scorpion whose stinger would cause any creature to fall down and die on the spot. In the forest, there was a kind of butterfly that looked like a ghost face. The poisonous powder of this ghost face butterfly could turn a radius of several miles into a land of death.
In the face of these poisonous creatures, experts of the Xiantian Secret Realm were generally not too afraid, because the existence of Zhen Yuan allowed them to quickly isolate the poison from their bodies, making it difficult for the poison to invade their bodies.
However, the poison of the blade insect leaders would not kill, but it would produce a severe paralyzing effect. Moreover, this kind of poison ignored the isolation of Zhen Yuan and directly penetrated into the human body. Even experts of the Xiantian Secret Realm would be unable to move after being poisoned.
Therefore, when facing the blade insect leaders, everyone would be very careful, fearing that they would be accidentally poisoned and be paralyzed and unable to move. At that time, they could only become food in the blade insect's mouth.
Others were afraid of the poison of the blade insect leaders, but Luo Zheng was not afraid at all.
His body was a Xuan Weapon Body. To put it bluntly, it was a high-grade Xuan Weapon. A weapon would not be afraid of any poison.
Luo Zheng rushed up alone. Although it was a little reckless, he was actually well prepared.
At the same time he jumped high, a ring was fastened to Luo Zheng's hand. It was a pair of copper rings given to him by Mentor Su. There was an invisible chain between the copper rings, and the other copper ring was fastened to the broken throwing knife.
The six blade insect leaders in front of him surrounded Luo Zheng in a fan shape. At the same time, they emitted a sharp whistle from their mouths, and the purple poisonous stingers on their bodies suddenly shot toward Luo Zheng.
In the face of the poisonous stingers that everyone could not avoid, Luo Zheng did not dodge. He let these poisonous stingers hit his body, and then suddenly threw out the broken throwing knife in his hand.
Whoosh!
At the same time, Luo Zheng pulled hard on the ring in his hand, and the broken throwing knife immediately swung in a circle around him.
The broken throwing knife was extremely sharp. It drew a circle and just happened to cut across the heads of the six blade insect leaders. Then, Luo Zheng's leap was exhausted, and he landed lightly on the ground.
In the air, the six blade insect leaders maintained their original flight for a while before their heads separated from their bodies. The six blade insects that had lost their bodies fell from the air and heavily hit the ground.
The six blade insect leaders instantly died...
"Beautiful! Brother Luo Zheng's Zhen Yuan of Luo Zheng's eyes.....
. He Luo Zheng... Of the blade insect leader's Luo... of the blade insect leader Luo Luo Zheng..... Luo Zheng.... Luo of of Luo Zheng of Luo Zheng....
. Luo Zheng.... Luo Zheng... Luo Zheng... Luo Zheng... Luo Zheng... Luo Zheng...
... Luo Zheng was hit by more than just one poisonous stinger.
Those poisonous stingers rained down on Luo Zheng's body. Let alone a human, even an elephant would be paralyzed and unable to move.
But looking at Luo Zheng's lively appearance, how could he be poisoned at all?
"Is this kid still human?" Lu Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
Meng Changjun stood in place with his sword in hand. Although he had a rough estimate of Luo Zheng's performance, Luo Zheng's performance still exceeded his expectations.
"Originally, I thought it was too boring to stay in the Blue Cloud Sect, so I came out for a walk. I didn't expect to meet such an interesting guy." Meng Changjun smiled. This kind of enchanting talent had a limitless future. As long as he didn't die prematurely, he would become an overlord.
However, there was no need to deliberately rope him in. If this kid had trouble in the future, he might be able to help him. Thinking of this, he unsheathed his sword and faced the wave of blade insects.
At this moment, this large wave of blade insects swept over, and everyone began a new round of hunting.
Luo Zheng... His whole body was shrouded in purple qi. The more he fought, the braver he became.
A Saber Bug Leader's demon beast core was worth one point. Just now, he had killed six Saber Bug Leaders in one move, which was six points. This speed of accumulating points was much faster than killing ordinary Saber Bugs.
However, these blade insect leaders were different from blade insects.
They had intelligence. Since they had intelligence, they wouldn't be as fearless as ordinary blade insects.
When they discovered that Luo Zheng had killed six blade insect leaders in an instant, the remaining blade insect leaders scattered and avoided Luo Zheng. They also commanded more ordinary blade insects to pounce on Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng's hand was constantly waving. With the help of the strong centrifugal force, the broken throwing knives madly revolved around Luo Zheng.
"Huff huff huff …"
Dozens of blade insects rushed toward Luo Zheng. However, after Luo Zheng adjusted his direction, the dozens of blade insects were instantly cut in half by the spinning throwing knives. The broken limbs scattered on the ground. These blade insects, which made people's expressions change, were as weak as ants in front of Luo Zheng.
Soon, the blade insect corpses were piled up like a small mountain. Among the mountain of blade insect corpses, there were a few purple blade insect leaders from time to time.
This wave of blade insects was much more numerous than the previous ones. However, with Luo Zheng's "windmill" existence, the speed of killing them was actually a bit faster. After killing the dozens of blade insect leaders, the remaining small wave of blade insects actually began to retreat.
Luo Zheng didn't pursue. There was still a pile of blade insect corpses on the ground, waiting for him to dig up the spoils.
However, at this moment, Lu Xiao saw the blade insects flying back. His face was full of doubt, but after thinking of a certain possibility, his expression suddenly changed.
"Not good! Everyone, retreat! "Lu Xiao suddenly shouted.
Luo Zheng was using the broken throwing knives to pick out the crystal cores from the blade insect leader's chest. Hearing Lu Xiao's words, he asked in puzzlement, "Why should we retreat?"
"Those ordinary blade insects are actually running back. Nearby … there must be …" Lu Xiao's face was deathly pale.
"What is it?" Luo Zheng saw that Lu Xiao was frightened and realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Blade Insect … Queen Mother," Lu Xiao said these three words, his throat gurgling.
Lu Xiao had been in Dragon Castle for many years and was very clear about the habits of blade insects. Whether it was the blade insect leader or the ordinary blade insects, they were all under the command of the blade insect queen. Although the blade insect leader had the ability to think independently, the real commander of the blade insect army was the blade insect queen.
Because blade insects didn't have the ability to think, every blade insect was a fearless death warrior. Even in the face of a powerful enemy, they would rush forward without hesitation. Therefore, under normal circumstances, blade insects wouldn't have the concept of retreating or running away.
From this point of view, they were natural fighters.
However, once the blade insect retreated, it meant that there must be a call from the blade insect queen nearby.
The Blade Insect Queen was the emperor of the blade insects. All of the blade insect armies were produced by the Blade Insect Queen. Even a Xiantian Realm expert would have to flee if they saw the Blade Insect Queen. Only a higher level expert would have the power to fight the Blade Insect Queen.
If a blade insect queen appeared at this time, everyone present would die.
This was the root of Lu Xiao's fear. At the same time, he was also very puzzled.
It was reasonable to say that the daily tasks assigned to the Supreme Army by Dragon Castle wouldn't be too risky.
Although the blade insect queen was powerful, there were countless experts in Dragon Castle. For example, the famous "Flying Dragon General" in Dragon Castle had personally killed several blade insect queens.
The Supreme Army's investigation work was very good. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't assign such a dangerous task to the Qinglan Squad.
However, it didn't make sense to send the Qinglan Squad to such a dangerous area today. Unless someone wanted the Qinglan Squad to die!
Although he thought so, Lu Xiao didn't voice the doubts in his heart. At this moment, he only wanted to take his Qinglan Squad and retreat quickly.
Everyone couldn't be bothered to dig for crystal cores. They put down their work and quickly left the place.
However, just as everyone turned around, they felt a tremor coming from the ground.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
It was the sound of a behemoth walking.
The sound was getting louder and louder. The tremor on the ground was getting stronger. This meant that this powerful creature was rapidly approaching.
Everyone's hearts began to sink. Lu Xiao was right. There really was a blade insect queen nearby.
However, a human's desire to live was infinite. Although they knew it would be difficult to escape, everyone still ran.
Luo Zheng maintained a uniform speed and followed behind Meng Changjun. The four disciples of the Blue Cloud Sect were also secretly complaining at this time.
The probability of encountering a blade insect queen was very low in such a large area outside Dragon Castle. Even if a blade insect queen occasionally left its nest, it would be quickly killed by the experts in Dragon Castle. However, they encountered it today …
Just as everyone passed through a forest, a huge red blade suddenly appeared in front of them.
The red blade neatly cut through the forest. At the same time, it also cut through the dozens of soldiers at the very front.
"Ah!"
The dozen or so landowning households were cut in two. They only had time to let out a scream before they were quickly devoured by the ordinary blade insects lurking in the surroundings.
Luo Zheng and the Green Mist Squad quickly came to a halt. In front of them, a sixty to seventy foot tall Saber Insect Queen was blocking their path. The Saber Insect Queen's entire body was bright red, and its two huge blades were constantly grinding against each other. Its huge compound eyes were firmly locked onto the group.
Being stared at by such a huge creature, Luo Zheng immediately felt his hair stand on end. There was only one thought left in his mind. Run!
Even under such circumstances, Lu Xiao didn't give up easily. At this moment, his quality as an imperial army was clearly visible. "Go to the side, as many as you can! Everyone run! "
As soon as Lu Xiao's voice fell, the Blade Bug Queen's huge body moved again. Although it was huge, its speed was shockingly fast. It nimbly sealed off the side of the tunnel, and the two giant blades once again slashed towards the group.
In the face of this giant blade, Luo Zheng jumped up at the critical moment, barely avoiding the blade's horizontal cut and rolling over the piece of land.
The others weren't so lucky. Another seven or eight soldiers were cut in two by the blade insect queen's blade.
Yang Tai was originally standing behind the landowning households. Seeing the huge blade cutting towards him, it was too late for him to dodge. Yang Tai's face showed a desperate and determined expression. At the last moment, he gathered all the strength in his body, and his whole body shone with a golden light.
This half-step Xiantian master's strength couldn't be underestimated when his life was hanging by a thread.
"Boom!"
Yang Tai used all the strength in his life to blast the golden light in his hand onto the huge blade.
His tyrannical strength could only block the blade insect queen for a moment, and then the blade mercilessly cut Yang Tai in two. It was extremely tragic.
Chapitre 53: Fierce
[Chapter 53]
When Luo Zheng, Meng Changjun, and Zhao Xuyong saw this scene, their faces darkened.
Although the four of them did not deliberately form a small team, they had some cooperation and tacit understanding with each other when they went out to kill blade insects with the Green Mist Squad.
However, just a few hours later, one of them died tragically on the spot. At this moment, they naturally felt a sense of sadness. Was everyone going to die here today?
At this moment, Lu Xiao suddenly roared. While running, he actually shot an arrow at the Blade Bug Queen's compound eye. However, the arrow was easily pushed aside by the Blade Bug Queen halfway through its flight.
Although the arrow hadn't caused any damage to the Blade Bug Queen, it had successfully angered it. The Blade Bug Queen chased after Lu Xiao.
"You guys run! I'll lead the Blade Bug Queen away! "Lu Xiao shouted at everyone. Clearly, he had already disregarded his own life.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Blade Bug Queen was chasing after Lu Xiao, it opened up a path for the others to escape.
However, the situation was still urgent. In addition to the Blade Bug Queen, there was still a black mass of blade insects and over a hundred blade insect leaders.
The soldiers of the Green Mist Squad decisively ignited the bamboo joints, and smoke billowed out. Whether it was the blade insect leaders or the ordinary blade insects, they all hated the smoke and avoided it. Finally, a path was opened in front of them.
"Let's go! Luo Zheng! "Zhao Xuyong was about to leave when he saw Luo Zheng standing there in a daze.
"Brother Luo Zheng, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave." Meng Changjun also revealed a strange expression.
Luo Zheng thought for a moment, and his face suddenly revealed a determined expression. He said to them, "Brother Meng, Brother Zhao, you guys leave first. I'll go help Lu Xiao!" After saying that, Luo Zheng stepped forward and chased after Lu Xiao.
"What are you going to do? Die?" Zhao Xuyong shouted.
Meng Changjun blinked but did not say anything. He had always been very good at reading people. Although he had only known Luo Zheng for two days, he already understood Luo Zheng's character. Persuasion was useless.
Lu Xiao's running speed was extremely fast, but the Blade Bug Queen's every step covered a distance of several dozen feet, so her speed was even faster.
However, because they weren't running in a straight line, Luo Zheng directly ran in a straight line and quickly caught up with them.
He was a hundred zhang away from the Blade Insect Queen!
After entering the Marrow Refining Stage, Luo Zheng was "refreshed" and had a very accurate grasp of distance.
The whistling wind blew past Luo Zheng's ears. He clasped the broken throwing knife in his hand, and his palms were already sweating.
At this moment, Luo Zheng wasn't timid at all. Instead, he was a little excited!
Fifty Zhang!
As he got closer and closer, Lu Zheng could see the patterns on the Blade Bug Queen's body.
Twenty Zhang!
Ten Zhang!
The Blade Bug Queen had already caught up to Lu Xiao. Its huge blade was already raised high in the air.
Facing the Blade Bug Queen alone, Lu Xiao already understood that he had no way out. However, as a standard soldier of the empire, even if he was on the verge of death, he wouldn't just sit and wait for death. Fighting with his last bit of strength was his true nature, so there was no despair in Lu Xiao's eyes. Instead, there was boundless courage and strength.
He roared and his muscles bulged as he charged at the Blade Bug Queen's huge blade.
"Now!"
At this moment, Luo Zheng focused all his strength on his feet and leaped into the air.
At the same time, borrowing the force of this leap, the broken throwing knife in his hand cut through the air and flew towards the Blade Bug Queen.
The Blade Bug Queen's body was huge, and the broken throwing knife was only as long as a forearm. Even if it shot into its body, it wouldn't cause much damage. Luo Zheng's target was the Blade Bug Queen's forelimbs!
Luo Zheng's timing for this attack was extremely accurate!
When the Blade Bug Queen's blade was still a few meters away from Lu Xiao, the broken throwing knife stabbed into the Blade Bug Queen's forelimbs with a "pu" sound.
The Blade Bug Queen's carapace was extremely hard, but the broken throwing knife still cut through it effortlessly.
"Bang!"
The huge blade left the Blade Bug Queen's body and heavily smashed into the ground. Lu Xiao was completely dumbfounded at this moment, as if he didn't understand what had happened.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
The Blade Bug Queen was in pain and raised its head to let out a loud screech.
The screech caused Luo Zheng and Lu Xiao's eardrums to sting.
Its compound eyes turned and quickly found Luo Zheng next to it. It turned its head and the remaining blade slashed at Luo Zheng's head!
At this moment, Luo Zheng was already prepared. He dodged this terrifying attack and madly ran in another direction.
The Blade Bug Queen's blade left a long crack in the ground and returned to its side. Its mouth was still letting out screeches. At this moment, all its aggro was locked onto Luo Zheng as it chased after him, ignoring Lu Xiao who was next to him.
Lu Xiao, who had narrowly escaped death, felt like he was about to collapse. His chest heaved up and down as he watched the Blade Bug Queen leave. He never thought that Luo Zheng would lead the Blade Bug Queen away at a time like this!
The wind whistled past his ears as the trees on both sides fell behind Luo Zheng. Luo Zheng didn't choose a path because he didn't have the chance to identify the path ahead!
Other than madly running forward, there was no time for him to think.
The Blade Bug Queen madly chased after him. Even though there was only one blade left, to Luo Zheng, it was still an invincible existence.
"Whoosh!"
A red shadow flashed an inch behind Luo Zheng, cutting a ten-meter-long crack in the ground behind Luo Zheng.
The Blade Bug Queen's speed was clearly faster than Luo Zheng's. It was almost certain that it would catch up to Luo Zheng!
What should I do?
Luo Zheng's heart gradually sank. Facing such a powerful opponent, he didn't even have a chance to fight it head-on.
"Whoosh!"
A red shadow mixed with a strong wind came slashing at him. Luo Zheng jumped up again and dodged the blade. He rolled forward and continued to run.
Crashing through the bushes in front of him and passing through the forest, Luo Zheng saw a canyon in front of him. With a glance, he found that the canyon was actually seventy to eighty feet wide.
"Jump over!"
Rushing to the edge of the canyon, Luo Zheng gritted his teeth and gathered all his strength under his feet. His whole body shrank into the shape of a bow and then quickly spread out.
Using this force, he directly bounced himself to the other side of the canyon.
However, while he was still in the air, he saw the Blade Bug Queen also leaping up. At the same time, it spread its wings and flew up.
"Damn, this Blade Bug Queen can't fly!" Luo Zheng thought gloomily.
The Blade Bug Queen indeed couldn't fly. Because its body was too big, its wings couldn't carry its body into the sky.
But relying on its powerful hind legs to bounce up and spread its wings, it could glide in the air for a while.
At the same time, the remaining red blade was about to slash at Luo Zheng.
"I'm dead for sure this time …"
He was in the air and couldn't dodge. He could only watch as the huge blade swung over.
At this critical moment, a fierce desire to live rose from Luo Zheng's heart.
"I absolutely can't die!" Luo Zheng's eyes were bloodshot as they were about to split open.
In a moment of desperation, Luo Zheng stuck the broken throwing knife to his arm and used his arm to block the Blade Bug Queen's blade.
Clang!
The violent force collided with the broken throwing knife, but it didn't break. Sure enough, this broken throwing knife was tough enough to block the Blade Bug Queen's attack.
Pfft!
But the violent force passed through the broken throwing knife and onto Luo Zheng's body. Luo Zheng spat out a large mouthful of blood, creating a bloody rain in the air.
He felt the blood in his body churning, as if his organs were about to be crushed.
Fortunately, Luo Zheng's body was special. With such a violent collision, even a half-step Xiantian or Xiantian Mystic Realm expert would die without a doubt, let alone a Marrow Refining Realm expert.
Luo Zheng absorbed most of the force and turned it into a warm current that constantly seeped into the depths of his bones and cleansed his marrow.
Even so, the remaining force was still extremely domineering, causing him serious injuries.
But with this huge force, Luo Zheng flew even higher. He floated in the air for dozens of feet before slamming heavily into the ground, creating a large crater in the soft soil.
"Boom!"
The ground shook as the Blade Bug Queen crossed the canyon and landed on the ground. Then, it rushed towards Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng felt like his body was about to be torn apart. He didn't want to move, but when he saw the Blade Bug Queen rushing towards him, he spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed. He endured the pain and crawled out of the crater and ran forward again.
In this chase, Luo Zheng ran another few hundred feet. At this time, a huge cave appeared in front of Luo Zheng.
He looked around and saw an endless forest in front of him. There was no place to hide from the Blade Bug Queen's pursuit.
Without thinking too much, Luo Zheng could only dive into the cave.
For humans, the inside of a cave was far more dangerous than the outside.
Especially a cave like this in the wild. Who knew what kind of powerful creature created it?
But Luo Zheng had no choice. Continuing forward was a dead end. He could only hope that there was a chance in this cave.
When Luo Zheng entered the cave, the Blade Bug Queen didn't hesitate and followed Luo Zheng in. It looked like it wouldn't stop until it killed Luo Zheng.
The cave was very wide. Even the Blade Bug Queen's huge body could move freely. Fortunately, the cave was curved. Although the Blade Bug Queen was fast, it was far from Luo Zheng's agility.
Therefore, the distance between the two couldn't be closed.
