Chapter 777 - 133: Bloodhound
The number of these insects is too large, several times more than expected. At a glance, they appear densely packed, and in the far distance, more insects are rushing over.
Therefore.
A large-scale destructive method must be used to clear these insects. Once they fall into a stalemate, they are bound to be at a disadvantage.
"I need some time to construct this magic. You need to hold off these insects and prevent them from interrupting me!"
Mi shouted loudly.
Casting such a large-scale destructive magic requires a considerable amount of guidance time.
Earlier.
In the museum, she was able to construct magic at such a fast speed because of the divine spirit’s assistance behind her, otherwise, it would have taken longer.
"No problem."
Su Changxing took a few steps forward, stood in front of Mi, radiating a faint golden light all around.
A massive golden Ancient Buddha formed behind him, becoming larger as it gradually solidified.
meters, 10 meters, 15 meters, 20 meters...
Faith has an unimaginably strong amplification on the "Ancient Buddha in the Heart" ability, directly magnifying its power several times.
A 20 to 30 meter tall, eight-headed, thirty-six-armed golden Ancient Buddha appeared behind Su Changxing.
Each hand held a different weapon: knife, sword, umbrella, fish, bottle, lotus shell, knot, banner, wheel, eye, wood...
Each face displayed a different expression: joy, sadness, anger, awakening, amazement, admiration, yet all had one common trait: sacred, dignified, and compassionate.
The massive golden palm slapped towards the insects, crushing them into meat paste like swatting mosquitoes.
Su Changxing stood inside the body of the golden Ancient Buddha, using it to evade the black poison that rained down, while simultaneously carrying a sniper rifle to shoot at the swarming insects.
The giant Buddha bore the majority of the poison while also collapsing quickly.
Su Changxing tried his best to maintain the form of the giant Buddha, but as more and more insects approached, the rate of collapse increased.
Finally.
With the sound of shattering glass, the Ancient Buddha disintegrated under the black poison’s erosion, turning into a myriad of light spots and gradually disappearing.
The crawling insect swarms on the ground, upon witnessing the collapse of the Ancient Buddha, became more fervent and once again gathered into a formidable insect tide surging forward aggressively.
Du Jin summoned a stream of black fire, weaving through the ruins.
The first to rush over were some flea-like insects, with four robust legs and a dark red shell.
Their movement speed was extremely fast, mere indistinct shadows running across the ruins, even having a chance to dodge Su Changxing’s bullets.
However.
They seemed weak against fire, easily penetrated by Du’an’s stream of fire, breaking their defenses.
Despite their numbers, one managed to reach Du’an, cutting a bloody wound across his chest with a swift hand blade.
The next moment.
More insects rushed over, and Du’an felt overwhelmed. The speed of these insects was too fast, making retreat impossible, forcing him to face them head-on.
At this time.
Kelsey hurried over from behind, with a thrusting sword wrapped around a pink tentacle, slashing over and penetrating through an insect’s head at the mouthpart.
The tentacle withdrew the thrusting sword and flung it toward another red-skinned insect nearby.
Kelsey controlled the thrusting sword with the tentacle, significantly increasing its speed and power, and with extraordinary flexibility, each part of the tentacle could perform search, transform direction, and a substantial amplification of ability.
This time, the thrusting sword did not pierce the insect’s body as intended but was blocked by the insect’s blade-like hand, producing a crisp metallic sound.
Kelsey felt slightly surprised, realizing these insects were more formidable than imagined, possessing considerable adaptability and tremendous power and speed.
The two red-skinned insects attacked him from left and right continuously, with the crimson sword being reblocked repeatedly by the hand blades.
The tentacle bore visible scars from the insects’ claws, with one cut nearly severing the tentacle in half, making it almost break completely.
He was overwhelmed by two of the most ordinary low-sequence insects of the Titan Insect Race, unable to catch his breath.
Gunshots were heard from the front.
Bam bam.
The two red-skinned insects in front of him had their heads blown up one after another, with green blood splattering on his face, body, and hands, carrying a pungent stench.
[Titan Insect Race—Bloodhound: Tier Five, low-sequence combat-type Titan Insect Race, not inherently intelligent but can execute complex combat commands.
Super Speed: Has exceptional straight-line running speed, able to quickly cut through battlefields.
Thick Shell: Can fully defend against medium and below-level physical and energy attacks.
Combat Machine: Each Bloodhound possesses extensive combat experience and exceptional combat talent, being a combination of excellent genes from many races, able to self-grow rapidly in combat.
Growth: Although it’s a low sequence insect race, it has increased growth potential, capable of continuously mutating in battle, growing into a high sequence insect race.]
Su Changxing also noticed that these bloodhounds bore some resemblance to the bloodhounds he had seen on Blue Star, but only somewhat.
They should have similar genetic compositions in their bodies, but the differences are significant.
One is a low-level Titan Insect Race, the other is a low sequence among the high-level Titan Insect Race.
Previously, what he saw on Blue Star did not truly count as Titan Insect Race, but rather some differentiated forms.
However, once these differentiated forms come into contact with the mother insect, they quickly evolve into genuine Titan Insect Race.
Just as the Ancient Buddha’s Golden Body had just collapsed, Mi’s magic was also mostly completed in construction.
The tide of purple energy flowed backward in space, continuously vibrating.
Dozens of charging bloodhounds fell to the ground, with countless cracks appearing on their dark red shells, oozing dark green blood.
The range of the dark purple tide grew wider and wider, undulating among the ruins, billowing in the sky, making rolling thunderous sounds, and the gathered insects died one by one under the crushing tide.
The dark purple tide expanded at an extreme speed, from the inside out, lasting more than ten seconds, overturning the surrounding environment as if it were the end of the world.
A dead silence.
Mi sat cross-legged on the ground, panting heavily, face pale, eyes filled with blood threads.
Constructing this magic took a great toll on him, even the body of a Titan Human couldn’t bear it.
The surroundings were still ruins, but with a different appearance than before, everything seemed to have been ground by gravity, with numerous insect corpses entangled within.
Not a single insect survived this terrifying magic.
Seeing this, Su Changxing also took a gasp of cold breath, still greatly underestimating Mi’s strength.
If this magic’s target had been him, he might not have been able to escape.
Mi’s face revealed a cold expression, looking at the ground covered with insect corpses, saying, "Mere insects dare to jump around everywhere."
The Titan Humans and the Titan Insect Race have always been hostile species, having engaged in numerous small and large wars since their inception.
Back then, they cooperated with other Order Races to drive the Titan Insect Race to the Marginal World.
The Marginal World is a dark world, those places abandoned by Order life, there’s the Abyss, the Undead Realm, there’s the Mu Realm.
No one knows exactly how vast the world really is, or how many worlds there are, not even the Titan Humans fully know.
"Amazing!"
Kelsey walked over, full of amazement as he said to Mi, "Such magic is probably close to the realm of divine beings!"
He had never seen real divine beings, nor witnessed the means of divine beings, even for high-level players, divine beings remain a distant concept.
Mi shook her head: "How could it be possible, what I used was just a forbidden magic borrowed from the twilight of life, true divine beings are much stronger, a thousandfold, ten thousandfold, millionfold!"
"Those are unimaginable existences, even their state of existence is a mystery!"
Previously, she had glimpsed just the tip of the iceberg of divine beings, merely overshadowed by their shadow, nearly driving her insane.
The gap between them is indescribable, or rather, it’s impossible to compare, not on the same level.
Mi supported herself with one hand on her knee, struggling to stand up from the ground, her massive body shaking:
"We’d better leave here first, the number of those insects is likely not limited to this, it would be better to temporarily avoid them."
Her joints creaked, as if aging, exuding an old aura.
This magic consumed a massive amount of life force, including lifespan.
This is irreplaceable.
Titan Humans have long lifespans, but she had already lived for so many years, not much lifespan left.
Su Changxing looked around, analyzing: "Most of these insects come from one direction, that place is likely where their mother insect is located, if we go another direction, we should be able to avoid them."
"If they don’t relentlessly pursue us."
Mi nodded: "No problem, take a look at the situation here, these insects were likely left here from that war, left to guard this place."
They did not linger, leaving immediately, these insects truly terrifying, any ordinary insect can reach Tier Five strength.
While walking, Mi recalled the previous scene, saying: "We only encountered low sequence insects, no special insects, or individuals with relatively strong power."
"Their mother insect is probably already dead, so there’s no way for them to transform, and the environment here can’t give birth to new mother insects."
"The Titan Insect Race is ultimately a race comparable to and even surpassing the Titan Humans, if any high sequence insect race appeared, we would all be doomed!"
Listening to Mi’s words, Su Changxing pondered and said: "Then what meaning is there in leaving these insects behind?"
"Looking at it this way, the war that occurred in the Ninth Dimension not only destroyed the Ninth Dimension but also heavily damaged the Titan Insect Race"
"It might have been a mutually damaging war."
