Everyone looked at each other. After a while, Xu Yan said, "The sect alarm … It's over. Without Uncle-Master Han's escort, we can't go out for the time being. Once the sect alarm is issued, no one can go in or out except the inner disciples …"
The first thing Guo Shier did was to check the trans-boundary talisman and found that it couldn't be used anymore. He immediately understood that the Fire Sect's large talisman array had been activated. Once the large talisman array was activated, the people inside it couldn't activate the talisman. Unless the large talisman array was shut down or destroyed, Guo Shier and the others couldn't use the trans-boundary talisman to escape.
Falconer asked, "What's wrong?" He noticed that Guo Shier's expression wasn't right.
Guo Shier smiled bitterly. "Nothing. I'm trapped here …"
Xu Yan smiled. "It's okay. We're in the inner sect of the Fire Sect. It's the safest place. No matter what danger we encounter, there will be inner disciples to take care of it as long as we don't run around." He continued, "Let's continue eating! Hehe, it's Uncle-Master Han's treat anyway. It'll be a pity if we don't eat. This is the top talisman food of the Fire Sect … "
Guo Shier was speechless. He didn't expect Xu Yan to be a foodie. However, he didn't object. In fact, he was also a foodie. He smiled. "Then let's continue … You can introduce the next talisman food."
Although the inner disciples of the Fire Sect had gone to gather, the market was not closed, so the second dish was served.
A large plate of stir-fried shells. This kind of shell was different from the ones Guo Shier had seen before. Xu Yan said, "Giraffe shells! Haha, good stuff. I didn't expect to see giraffe shells today. "
Guo Shier reached out and picked up a jet-black shell the size of a goose egg. It was covered with fine spikes and had an opening at the bottom. It looked very inconspicuous. He asked, "How do I eat this?"
Xu Yan said, "It's easy. See this opening? Suck out the meat and juice in one gulp. This thing grows in the magma lake and can absorb fire energy. It's not a threat, but it's not easy to catch. The magma lake requires at least the strength of a Master to go there, and it's very dangerous for a Master to go to a place with a magma lake. That's why Touluo Shells are relatively rare. "
Guo Shi 'er sucked hard at the gap of the Tuluo Shell, sucking a mass of soft meat and juice into his mouth. It was like inhaling a mass of fire, and the burning sensation rushed straight to his nose. Along with the heat, a fragrance spread. It was like a small pepper in his previous life. It was so hot that his tongue hurt, but it was very tasty.
They all ate happily. Guo Shi 'er was not satisfied, so he asked expectantly, "What's the next dish?"
At this time, the low-level professional walked in and said: "I'm very sorry, the restaurant is about to close."
The professional was surprised.
The Professionist smiled bitterly: "It can't be helped, the inner sect ordered the market to be closed …"
The professional smiled bitly.. Closing the market meant that a powerful enemy was invading, so all Professions had to be mobilized. "I don't know, but … I just received an order. We have to go to the assembly point. You have to go too."
The man said, "I don't know, but … I just received an order. We're all going to the assembly point. You have to go too. All professionals have a mission."
He couldn't refuse. "I don't know. But … I just received an order. We have to go to the assembly point. You have to go too." Xu Yan nodded. "Okay. Let's go together. Where is the assembly point?" He couldn't refuse. He understood this very well, so he didn't hesitate and immediately asked where to go.
Guo Shier didn't speak. He knew that he was alone and under the eaves, it was impossible for him to bargain with a large sect like the Fire Sect.
The professional said, "Please follow me."
Guo Shier asked, "What about the cost of the food?" He didn't want to be known as a freeloader.
The professional smiled. "It's been recorded. Elder Han is a regular here. You don't have to worry about the cost."
After leaving the restaurant, a large group of professionals had gathered at the entrance. They were all foreign professionals, not inner disciples. There was a big table at the entrance. Obviously, it was carried out from the restaurant. Several low-level inner disciples were registering their destination.
The crowd at the entrance was a little chaotic. Guo Shier learned some information from their discussions. He learned that the entire periphery of the fire sect had fallen, including Fire City. It was said that it was razed to the ground.
Xu Yan found a few acquaintances and learned about the situation. He came back and said, "It's a golden-shelled insect tide …"
Guo Shier was surprised. "A golden-shelled insect tide?"
Xu Yan said, "Yes, the specific situation is not very clear. But this time, the scale of the golden-shelled insect tide is super large. There have been several small golden-shelled insect tides in the past, but they were wiped out before they could enter the fire sect's territory. This time is different. When the news came, the golden-shelled insect tide was already coming. There was no time to stop it. Fortunately, a large defensive array was activated. Otherwise, they would have rushed into the inner sect."
A professional next to him said, "It seems that many people outside have not retreated. There are countless casualties."
Another professional said, "Strange. Why is there a bug tide at this time?"
Guo Shier asked, "At this time? Why is there no bug tide at this time? "
That person said, "Aren't you a professional from the Earthfire Continent? Then it's no wonder. Most bug tides are caused by a large number of volcanic eruptions. This is the period of calmness for volcanoes. The volcanoes of the Earthfire Continent have two alternating periods. One is the period of calmness, the other is the period of eruption. The interval is about a few decades. When the volcano erupts, all the people in the periphery have to retreat. "
Xu Yan said, "Yes. I didn't think that there would be such a large scale bug tide during the period of calmness."
Guo Shier looked up. In the sky, countless flying cars drew out white streaks. There were also a large number of signal talismans. Although they disappeared in a flash, because there were so many of them, he could still see them. An indescribable pressure surged in his heart.
Xu Yan said, "Guo Shi, your luck is really good. I also benefited from it … If we were still in Fire City …" He felt as if he had escaped from death. One had to know that once the bug tide attacked, even a Great Saint Master would find it difficult to escape. Those with fast reactions could use the talisman gate to escape, but those with slow reactions would be completely finished.
Luo Zhan asked, "Where will they send us?"
Xu Yan said, "I don't know. Just listen to the instructions. I feel that it is very strange. Even if it is a large scale bug tide, professionals can stop it. Why did they let the bug tide come near the defensive talisman formation? It is simply inconceivable. "
The surrounding professionals all agreed.
Soon, it was Guo Shier's turn to register. Taking out the identity talismans, a few low level inner disciples of the Fire School inspected them. One of them said politely, "Three Saint Masters and one Kuang Shi. Please come here to register." He took out four talismans and said, "These talismans can record the number of golden-shelled insects you killed. After the bug tide is over, you can use these talismans to receive your reward."
Another disciple said, "Any spoils of war obtained from the bug tide belong to the individual. There is no need to hand it over to the sect."
Guo Shier nodded to himself. As a large sect, they still had this bit of magnanimity. He asked, "Where do we go to register?"
A disciple said, "To the east … there is an address on the talismans. You can go there directly. You can also take a flying car. But … it is not far. It will only take ten minutes to fly there."
Xu Yan looked at the talismans and said, "I know that place. Let's go together."
There were seven or eight other professionals who also went to the same place as Guo Shier. Most of them were Kuang Shi, and there were one or two Saint Masters. The group followed Xu Yan and flew towards the destination.
After a while, they arrived at their destination. This was a small town. Xu Yan said, "It is here, Jinfang Town. It is one of the towns at the edge of the inner gate."
Guo Shier already saw a bright rune light. It was the light emitted by a large talisman formation. If he looked carefully, he could see that there were countless runes moving around, emitting a faint five-colored light. Because the distance was not close enough, he could only see a shadow. It was like the arcs of the northern lights in his previous life. It was very beautiful.
After entering the town, the horror of this bug tide could be seen. Countless people who escaped were crowded in the town waiting for arrangements. Among them, there were many injured people who were missing arms or legs. There were also many professionals who were also covered in scars. Groups of ordinary people were arranged to retreat to the inner gate.
There was a large number of tents outside the town, all prepared for the professionals. All the professionals who came to the town first went to check their talismans. Then, they formed small groups and were assigned tents, waiting for orders at any time. Many flying cars were parked outside the tents. Guo Shier glanced around and found that there were at least a few hundred of them.
Just Jinfang Town alone had gathered several thousand professionals. There was no lack of Peak Great Saint Masters among them. Guo Shier couldn't help but sigh. The sects of High Tier Continents were very deep. The host here was a Peak Great Saint Master. He led a dozen Primary and Intermediate Great Saint Masters and was nervously assigning tasks.
What Xu Yan and Guo Shier didn't expect was that Han Yan was also among them. Seeing them, Han Yan seemed very happy and said, "You guys can follow me."
It was good to have acquaintances. Guo Shier and Xu Yan immediately agreed. Although Han Yan was only a Primary Great Saint Master, his status was not low. With the identity of a disciplinary elder, he led a group of roughly three hundred people. Guo Shier, Xu Yan, and the other two became Han Yan's guards and messengers, assisting him in commanding the group.
After hastily forming teams, the professionals sat on the flying cars and flew to the edge of the defensive talisman array.
Sitting in the flying car, Guo Shier asked, "Elder Han, what's the situation this time? Can you tell us?" There were many professionals in the flying car who didn't understand the situation, so they all pricked up their ears to listen.
Han Yan sighed and said, "This insect swarm is man-made …"
Immediately, there was a wave of exclamations. Guo Shier asked, "Man-Made? Who is so powerful? To be able to cause such a large insect swarm? "
"A King Class Variant Golden Beetle!"
Guo Shier asked doubtfully, "King Class?"
Han Yan said, "This is what we call it here. A King Class is a Level 14 Mutation Talisman Insect! The scary thing is that this King Class Variant Golden Beetle attracted seven or eight Level 11 to Level 13 Variant Golden Beetles. They chased out the Golden Beetles living under the magma, forming a large insect swarm. It is said that … there are millions of Golden Beetles! They are of different levels. Some of them are Level 80 or Level 90 Golden Beetles. "
Everyone in the flying car took in a deep breath. Everyone's expression changed.
Guo Shier and Falconer looked at each other. The two of them understood at the same time. The person who caused the insect swarm was definitely Da Mo's disciple, the disciple wearing the red robe.
This time, they were in big trouble.
