Du Feng didn't know that he had been exposed and continued to move deeper into the Dark Forest. In the quiet forest, he was the only one walking quietly. A pair of vigilant eyes constantly scanned the dark areas in the surrounding trees. His hand tightly gripped the hilt of the Silver Dragon Sword, ready to deal with any sudden situation.
The deeper he went into the Dark Forest, the more he felt that something was wrong. It was too quiet, unbelievably quiet. It was as if all the people in the world had died, or all the animals and insects in the world had died. There were only trees here, not even weeds or wildflowers could be seen. The trees towered into the sky, their branches and leaves far from the ground, and he couldn't feel any signs of life.
It was too strange. There was no poisonous fog or soil here, so why was there no grass growing? Even more strange was that he couldn't hear birds after going deeper. The birds flew above the branches, so they couldn't be disturbed from below, could they?
Du Feng's footsteps became heavier and heavier, sweat trickling down his forehead. It flowed down his forehead to the corner of his eyes, and then seeped into his eyes, irritating his eyeballs. But he didn't care to wipe it at all. He pulled out the Silver Dragon Sword and gripped it tightly with both hands.
Rustle, rustle, rustle …
Listening carefully, Du Feng indeed heard the sound of the soil loosening, as if something was about to drill out. He floated in the air, keeping his feet off the ground to avoid being attacked from below.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
Poisonous scorpions the size of carrots drilled out of the ground and pounced at Du Feng as soon as they broke through the soil. They had amazing jumping ability, and their dark green bodies were hard to identify in the darkness.
Sword Aura Like Silk! Du Feng waved the Silver Dragon Sword, sending out sword threads that interweaved into a large sword net. Like a fisherman casting a net to catch a large number of fish and shrimp, this batch of poisonous scorpions were all covered by the sword net. The dark green hard shell resisted for a moment, but was cut by the sword aura. After a series of cracking sounds, they were all minced into pieces.
Puff, puff, puff …
The poisonous scorpions didn't seem to have low intelligence. They found that they couldn't hurt Du Feng by pouncing. They all drilled through the ground to the side of the tree, and then climbed up along the trunk. In a short while, thousands of poisonous scorpions occupied the nearby tree trunks.
Du Feng was surrounded by densely packed poisonous scorpions, which made his scalp go numb. It was said that a large number of ants could kill an elephant. He was now in such an awkward situation. Poisonous scorpions continued to crawl out from the ground. If this continued, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they wanted to.
F * ck! He had already gone through Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild. Could he possibly die to a bunch of seedlings?
"God of all beasts, listen to my summons. No one in the world dares to disobey. Beast Fusion!"
As soon as he recited the incantation, the Beast Fusion was completed. Following that, a net of electricity appeared around his body. Although it wasn't as thick as an electric arc, it was very dense. This was the Lightning Skill that he had obtained after devouring the Soaring Centipede. Since he had not mastered it yet, it was not very powerful.
The venomous insects seemed to have a natural fear of lightning. They did not attack immediately. Instead, they all stayed quietly, as if waiting for some order.
"Hiss! Hiss! "
A hissing sound came from afar. This hissing sound was like the opening of a water gate, opening the floodgates of the insect swarm. All the poisonous scorpions rushed at Du Feng, just like a waterfall rushing down from the sky.
"Crackle, crackle!"
A large number of poisonous scorpions came into contact with the electric net. Their bodies instantly lost moisture and became charred. However, the poisonous scorpions behind continued to rush forward without any regard for their lives, like brave warriors who were not afraid of death. The air was filled with the fragrance of meat, the smell of charred flesh, and the stench of evaporating poisonous gas.
Du Feng held his breath to prevent himself from breathing in the poisonous gas. He urged the electric net on his body to continuously increase the electricity. These poisonous scorpions surrounded him from all directions. If he did not have the electric net, he might not have been able to last long by relying on his True Energy Shield.
"Crackle, crackle … crackle, crackle …"
One after another, the poisonous scorpions died. Du Feng simply used them as good helpers to hone his skills. Under the attack of the scorpions, the electric net did not shrink. Instead, it continued to expand. The electric threads that were as thin as hair gradually turned into electric arcs that were as thick as a finger. No wonder Du Hao was so arrogant with his Thunder Control Technique. This thing was really useful.
Du Feng controlled his body to slowly rise. The poisonous scorpions also continued to climb up the tree trunk and then pounced to attack. He focused his eyes in the direction of the hissing sound. It was pitch black, and he still could not see anything.
Who was controlling these poisonous scorpions? According to animal instinct, they should have retreated long ago if they could not attack for a long time. Any life was afraid of death. They could not possibly be fearless all the time. Who was the manipulator behind the scenes? As the saying goes, to catch the bandits, first catch the ringleader. Du Feng had to catch the person behind this to end this meaningless battle.
There was a woman on a high branch. She frowned slightly, not understanding why Du Feng would do this. Even if he could use these poisonous scorpions to hone his combat skills, there would always be a time when his True Energy would be exhausted. Why did he not rush out and stay in place?
"Bang, bang, bang …"
At this moment, the poisonous scorpions exploded one after another without warning, and clouds of green poisonous gas spread in all directions. These guys saw that they could not hurt Du Feng, so they actually used this kind of self-mutilation method. No matter how dense the electric net was, it could not stop all the poisonous gas.
"Zla, zla …"
Ten thousand, twenty thousand … a hundred thousand. When the number of poisonous scorpions exploded reached a certain number, the green poisonous gas also reached a certain density. The electric net began to corrode, constantly emitting a sizzling sound. No matter how much True Energy Du Feng provided it, it could not be compared to the speed of the corrosion.
F * ck, I am invulnerable. What is there to be afraid of? Du Feng simply removed the electric net and let the poisonous gas cover his whole body. Once the electric net was removed, the first thing to suffer was his clothes. The long robes of the Qingyang Sect disciples bore the brunt of the corrosion and were cleanly corroded. Then, the top-grade mortal soft armor inside did not last long and was also corroded.
"How shameless!"
The woman hiding on a high branch saw the naked Du Feng and blushed slightly. She wanted to turn her head, but curiosity compelled her to continue watching. Aiya, he was already soaked in the poisonous gas. Would he die if this continued?
