Chapter 460 The Insects Attack The City
“Woosh, woosh, woosh…”
Intense whistles from the strong wind were heard around the goshawk as the wind blew forward violently at an unimaginable speed. The goshawk had fully displayed its ultimate ability at this moment. It was true that spirit birds could not be mentioned on equal terms with walking beasts in terms of physical power but given enough time, they could transfer nature’s power through the Scale Secret Technique to trigger disastrous powers.
One of them was the Birds Formation, which was so sharp that even Multi-armed King Kong dared not resist it and retreated.
Although the goshawk did not have its helpers anymore, it still displayed an unmatched and forceful combat power.
Wherever the strong wind blew, the yellow clouds billowed as though the entire area was disrupted.
Without taking a break, the goshawk continued to flap its wings fiercely, causing the strong wind to become incredibly powerful as if it could crush everything.
Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched, and he looked deeply at Big Yellow. At this moment, the usually proud yellow dog shut its mouth without saying a word, but it looked like it was not resigned to the outcome.
It was also a spirit beast, but the goshawk was evidently more capable than it. If the two beasts were to exchange blows, the result would have been set already.
Big Yellow was not satisfied-it was not pleased at all! Nonetheless, whenever the big yellow dog felt like that, it would always bury the thought deep inside its heart to turn it into its motivation, and it would completely burst out one day when the timing was right.
Ou Yangming shook his head and sighed.
The big yellow dog had advanced into a spirit beast, whereas the goshawk was an experienced spirit beast because it had been one for years. If Big Yellow insisted on comparing itself with the goshawk and the king kong, it would be too tough for it.
Nevertheless, Big Yellow’s attitude was probably the exact reason it previously withstood the ferocious thunderbolts.
“Woosh…”
Another vigorous explosive sound from the strong wind was heard. This time, the goshawk let out a cheer.
“Master, I found the way out!”
“Quickly leave!” Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up.
The area was extremely weird. Even though their lives were not threatened due to the goshawk’s protection, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow would not mind leaving as soon as possible.
“Yes,” the goshawk responded loudly. It flapped its wings and turned into an electric light as it penetrated the yellow clouds and flew in its established direction.
Despite that, it was then when the little red bird, which was observing from a distance away, jumped and stared at its fireball, which it mustered using its magic power.
Through the flickering source of light, the yellow clouds and mist underwent an intriguing change as if something became imperceptible.
“That’s impossible! Is that a Supreme Insect’s aura? I must’ve been mistaken. How could one have the guts to descend to this world? Isn’t it afraid of the Heavenly Punishment?” The little bird hopped around fretfully and finally stomped its foot. “This won’t do, I must go to take a look!”
It opened its mouth and spat a red light, which suddenly exploded in mid-air and transformed into a door of flames.
This was also a power to control space. The activated door was filled with flames such that other creatures could not get through, and it could not transfer a humongous creature like Multi-armed King Kong. That said, the distance compressed by the door was far from what could be compared by ordinary interspatial doors, to the extent that the little bird could instantly go across several counties.
It was an almighty ability possessed by its race. The little bird flashed and went through the bright door of flames and arrived at a vast and empty land.
When it looked in front, it noticed yellows clouds with an odd aura lingering in the air.
The goshawk and Ou Yangming were amidst the yellow clouds and mist. While the little bird was concerned about their safety, it did not intend to help at all.
This was because it believed that Ou Yangming and the goshawk could easily break free. If the goshawk’s life could be threatened by two little insects, it would not be worth helping at all.
However, the little bird could not stand by idly anymore when a mysterious power rose from the clouds and mist.
If the power was real, not to mention Ou Yangming and the goshawk, even the little bird dared not be confident about escaping unscathed.
After some thought, the little red bird finally flapped its wings and zoomed into the clouds and mist.
If the situation inside was what it expected, it could only incite the mysterious power in its bloodline to seek help from the Almighty Beings from its clan.
Given that its clan members had always been the most protective ones, they would certainly show up regardless of the costs to eliminate the Venerable Insect.
With that, a red light entered the clouds and mist, but the little red bird was soon in misery because it realized that it lost its sense of direction.
Yes, after flying for a short while, it noticed that it did not know where it was anymore.
The little red bird shrieked furiously after some time, causing a fire to emerge from its body and burned endlessly. As the flame boiled, the little bird released a fearsome pressure, which could destroy Heaven and Earth. On top of that, a sinister look could be seen in its bright eyes.
Judging from how the clouds and mist could make the little bird lose its direction, they were definitely set up by a Venerable Insect.
‘The Insects have really gone through a lot of trouble and paid a huge price to transport the clouds and mist into this realm.
‘Hmph, but since I’m here, the Supreme Insect’s effort will all be in vain,’ the little bird thought.
The little bird’s intense flame continued to burn, causing the yellow clouds and mist to change color. It appeared as though they became the fire’s fuel, allowing the fire to burn brighter than before.
Subsequently, the little red bird gathered its energy as it was ready to face the Venerable Insect’s attack at any time. As long as it bullied the weak, a single attack would stimulate the unique bloodline in its body. By then, even if the little bird’s clan members were far in the other realm, they could sense the change here.
Following that, it would be the end of the Venerable Insect and its scheme.
Having said that, the little red bird could not help but become dubious as it burned its fire.
‘Why hasn’t the hidden Venerable Insect shown up yet?’
Outside Changlong City, two long lizards waited far away. They had four long limbs each, which was two more than a half-spirit beast.
They looked into the distance at the moment and had a grave look on their faces.
“It’s activated.”
“Yes, it’s activated.”
“We paid such a tremendous price to bring the poisonous miasma into this realm just so we can trap that fella. Isn’t it quite wasteful?”
“Hehe, as compared to what we’re about to do, this isn’t wasteful at all.”
“You’re right. After all, that fella’s so honorable that even the Venerable Ones dared not meet it face to face.
The two lizards looked at each other. When they thought about the little red bird, which was trapped in the yellow clouds and mist, they could not help but shudder with fear.
In actuality, the yellow clouds were only set up to capture Ou Yangming and the goshawk as bait; the one that lizards wanted to go against or trap was the little red bird. The poisonous miasma would not be able to trap the bird forever, but it could if the lizards were given enough time.
“They’re already out, aren’t they?”
“Yes, our kinds along the way have reported that they’re coming in our direction.” “Very well. This determines if we’ll make or break. If we succeed, the Venerable One will remember us for sure.”
“Hehe, boys, it’s time to come out. There are countless humans in the city so eat them to nourish the Insects. The Venerable One is invincible…”
A strange voice echoed outside the city. Consequently, the ground began to move as insects of different sizes surfaced and crawled toward the city.
Almost at the same time, the ground in some corners in the city loosened as some smaller and less threatening insects swarmed out to launch suicidal attacks at the people nearby.
Changlong City became chaotic in a split second; numerous screams and shouts filled the air as the people were plunged into extreme sufferings.
Several great ancestors atop the wall looked at each other anxiously.
Changlong County had always been the front line against the Beasts, but the threat from the Insects was very different.
In Huangsha and Yongxiang, even if there were innumerable insects outside the cities, various defensive methods were adopted in the cities. As such, not a single insect could enter the cities before they were attacked. On the contrary, there were already insects inside and outside Changlong City. While the insects inside the city were so weak that they were vulnerable, they were not against military powerhouses, but common folks.
“Look…”
Ni Jingshen suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted. When everybody looked, they noticed two massive figures over there. They were not as
gigantic as Multi-armed King Kong, but their builds were quite rare among the Insects.
“Spirit beasts,” Elder Universe uttered word by word.
Putting aside the insects’ builds, the immense pressures from them were enough to make the people feel hopeless.
“Two-there are two spirit beasts!” Ni Jingshen and the others turned pale, so much so that there was no redness on their faces.
“Why? Why did the Insects come to attack us? Why are there two spirit beasts?”
Everyone else exchanged glances and saw looks of despair from each other.
However, they did not know that the goshawk had carried Ou Yangming and Big Yellow away from the frightening yellow poisonous miasma.
Protected by the strong wind around the goshawk, the young fellow and the big yellow dog did not inhale any poison gas. The goshawk shrieked proudly, then it continued flying forward according to Ou Yangming’s instruction. Ou Yangming stood proudly on the goshawk’s back as he looked ahead. His heart somehow began to race as if something unimaginable was waiting for him…
