Ning Xiaohui and Fan Xiaopeng’s faces turned slightly pale. The Corpse Buddha Cockroaches had left a strong psychological trauma on them previously. Although their strength had increased greatly now, they still felt a heartfelt sense of horror when they thought of facing the overwhelming Corpse Buddha Cockroaches.
Wu Qinglei frowned and asked, “Issuer Liu, there are a huge number of Corpse Buddha Cockroaches. Furthermore, the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches here are not weak. Can the five of us clear the ground?”
“Of course the five of us can’t do it. Aren’t there still those genius seeds? The one-month training period has already ended. Next, it’s time to enter the official stage of the Dingdeng Genius Battle.”
Wu Qinglei said again, “But the poisonous fog in the underground world is so thick. I’m afraid those genius seeds won’t be able to enter.”
“Don’t worry, those guys from Qianyuan Academy are not to be trifled with. For the past month, they have been developing a new antidote. It’s said that the results are not bad. There’s already a way to dispel this poisonous fog. 1 reckon they will start taking action in the next two days.”
“I see. No wonder they would send people from Qianyuan Academy this time. They are related to the Imperial Capital and have extraordinary status.”
Liu Lanqing nodded. “However, before that, we have to test the quality and quantity of the Corpse Buddha Cockroach… Now, go back the way you came and return to the top of the cliff!”
“Issuer Liu, are you prepared to…”
Wu Qinglei was stunned, and Lin Yan instantly reacted.
Liu Lanqing moved her palm, and a ball of scarlet flames rose from her palm. “That’s right. You guys pick me up from above. 1’11 try to lure them!”
Liu Lanqing was powerful and was on a completely different level from them. Everyone immediately followed her instructions and ran back quickly.
Just as he reached the bottom of the cliff, Lin Yan trembled slightly. The few clones behind him felt like they were being burned before immediately losing contact.
In the next moment, without needing his clones to send a message, Lin Yan saw a ball of scarlet fire light up in the distance behind him.
It was as if the underground magma had suddenly erupted. A huge scarlet pillar of fire soared into the sky and connected the top of the underground world to the ground. Moreover, it spread in all directions like a huge mushroom cloud of flames.
A series of intense explosions sounded. The heat wave blew the poisonous fog and turned into a huge poisonous wave. Even from so far away, they could still feel waves of heat.
Wu Qinglei’s expression changed slightly. “Let’s go! Go up quickly!”
Without needing him to say anything, Lin Yan, Ning Xiaohui, and the others had already climbed up quickly on all fours.
That ball of flames was like a signal that activated the entire dead underground world!
The rising and falling hisses and the terrifying sound of insects became louder and louder. Countless faint black shadows shuttled and flashed from the poisonous fog below.
Lin Yan’s expression changed slightly. With the perception of the clones distributed in the poisonous fog, he seemed to feel that the entire underground world had come to life. There were also countless Corpse Buddha Cockroaches that crawled out of the underground waterway!
He could not help but speed up again and climb up the mountain rock.
Just as he reached the top of the cliff, he suddenly heard Liu Lanqing’s voice beside him. “Old Wu, Xiaopeng, Xiaohui, use your strength to shoot down the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches that have climbed up!”
Lin Yan looked over in surprise. At some point, Liu Lanqing had caught up and had already climbed up the rock wall faster than them. She was standing there.
Under the rock wall, dense Corpse Buddha Cockroaches surged out again and quickly climbed up the mountain wall. Soon, they approached the cliff.
However, the number did not seem to be as much as what Lin Yan had seen last time. It was not endless and was still within an acceptable range.
Wu Qinglei, Fan Xiaopeng, and Ning Xiaohui immediately began to swing their palms. Bolts of lightning, wind, and explosive forces shot out into the air. The power was extremely shocking as they attacked the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches that were close to the cliff.
The Corpse Buddha Cockroaches were huge, and their threat was comparable to that of the Tough Realm. However, under the force of the few Yellow Grade Noble Realm cultivators present, they could not resist at all. Anyone who was hit by the force would either have their abdomens broken or their saber arms cut off. Their shells would also cave in. They would be hammered to death by the huge force of the Noble Realm and fall down the cliff.
Fan Xiaopeng and Ning Xiaohui were a little restrained at first, but when they realized that the Corpse Buddha Cockroach was actually so weak under their strength, they immediately became excited. Their fists and palms were about to wave out as they wanted to kill the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches completely and avenge their previous humiliation.
At the same time that Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief, he couldn’t help but feel his heart ache. In this short period of time, the three of them had already shot down no less than 40 Corpse Buddha Cockroaches. If he took out all their Spirit Marrows, it would be enough to accumulate two to three more Enlightenment Spiritual Lights.
“I wonder if 1 can dig up some Spirit Marrows when I go down the cliff.”
Not long after, the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches stopped climbing along the cliff. They clearly sensed how difficult it was to deal with everyone.
Fan Xiaopeng was overjoyed and looked relieved. “Hahahaha, a group of insects. They’re afraid of us. They escaped!”
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows. The clones underground had sent a signal before. Many Corpse Buddha Cockroaches folded their bodies and burrowed underground!
A faint tremor came from the ground under his feet.
He said in a low voice, “They didn’t escape! The Corpse Buddha Cockroach is good at digging holes. They’re digging up from the ground!”
Liu Lanqing frowned slightly. “These animals actually know how to change their strategy? Go! Retreat a little! The few of you, pay attention. Don’t break your anti-poison suits!”
Everyone retreated in formation again, but their speed was not fast. They still wanted to test the quality of these Corpse Buddha Cockroaches.
After walking for a while, the five of them paused and suddenly jumped apart.
In the next moment, the ground suddenly cracked open, and three shuttle-shaped Corpse Buddha Cockroaches drilled out. The tentacles on their tails swayed as they spread their bodies and pounced at Ning Xiaohui and Fan Xiaopeng.
Although the two of them were shocked, they did not panic. They struck out with consecutive forces and shattered half of the bodies of the three Corpse Buddha Cockroaches in the air, causing pus and corpses to splatter.
Lin Yan took the opportunity to rush forward. With two whooshes, he accurately took out the Spirit Marrows from the three Corpse Buddha Cockroaches.
Fan Xiaopeng pursed his lips but ignored him.
Since he was already at the Noble Realm, this bit of Spirit Marrow was nothing to him.
Liu Lanqing frowned slightly. The Corpse Buddha Cockroach’s underground sneak attack posed no threat to them. However, the speed at which the Corpse Buddha Cockroach dug the hole was extremely fast. Although she deliberately slowed down, she was still a little surprised that the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches had dug here so quickly.
“Let’s keep walking!”
Soon, there was another tremor underground. Everyone dispersed again. This time, only two Corpse Buddha Cockroaches crawled out of the ground. One of them pounced at Liu Lanqing, while the other suddenly crawled on the ground and aimed its head at the others. It suddenly let out a sharp cry!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of explosions sounded.
Lin Yan instantly recalled that this was once a strange move used by the Corpse Buddha Cockroach. It was releasing the little bug monsters!
Lin Yan originally thought that after exploring for a month, Liu Lanqing and the others should know about the Corpse Buddha Cockroach’s strange killing move. He didn’t expect Fan Xiaopeng and Ning Xiaohui to be vigilant and confused, not knowing what the insect monster was doing.
There was no time to remind them. In the next moment, the black sarcoma balls that were like prayer beads between the upper and lower bodies of the insect monster instantly expanded and squirmed like cannonballs, shooting towards everyone!
In a moment of desperation, Lin Yan could only shout, “Avoid the encirclement!”
With the Noble Realm force to protect themselves, he was not worried that the few of them would be in danger.
However, the little bug monsters hatched from the sarcoma balls had sharp claws. Once the bug monsters pounced on them, their precious anti-poison suits would probably be torn apart!
Upon hearing his reminder, Ning Xiaohui and Wu Qinglei unleashed the speed of the Noble Realm and quickly retreated.
On the other hand, the fastest Fan Xiaopeng was not afraid at all. Relying on his agility, he swam between the balls and raised his hand to wave several forces, sending several balls blocking his way flying.
“You want to hit me with this bit of power…”
Before he could finish speaking, the sarcoma ball in the air behind him suddenly exploded. Twenty to thirty black shadows the size of a baby’s head opened their mouths and flicked at him.
“F*ck!”
Fan Xiaopeng was shocked. He could tell at a glance that these were miniature bug monsters. His figure was extremely agile. As he swayed, he almost left afterimages. At the same time, he threw out punches and palms, sending several bug monsters flying. He passed through the gaps of the bug monsters safely.
He let out a long sigh. “You’re so ugly, yet you still want to surround me?”
Suddenly, he heard Ning Xiaohui exclaim, “Fan Xiaopeng, behind you!”
Fan Xiaopeng was shocked. Under the stimulation of his force, he immediately felt that he had not dodged all of them just now. A small insect monster had climbed onto his back!
“Oh no, anti-poison suit…”
Fan Xiaopeng suddenly activated the force around his body. The little bug monster was directly crushed by his force, but it was too late. With a light tearing sound, the anti-poison suit was already torn.
Wu Qinglei casually struck out with his strength and killed the Corpse Buddha Cockroach. He hurriedly rushed behind Fan Xiaopeng with an ugly expression. “Xiaopeng, you’re too careless!”
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of trees shaking could be heard. Five to six Corpse Buddha Cockroaches quickly attacked everyone. They actually crouched down and prepared to fire!
Liu Lanqing waved her hand, and a huge scarlet flame wall burned high, blocking the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches outside.
“Let’s go first!”
Everyone did not stay any longer and sped away.
Behind them, nearly a hundred sarcoma balls shot over through the fire wall, but they were all lit up by the flames into fireballs. They burned to charcoal in midair and landed on the ground, as if it had rained fire..
