The snow-capped peaks of Aoyun were endless, and the snow did not melt all year round. Every white peak pierced the sky. It was said that this was the closest place to the Supreme God. It was even said that the Supreme God had once descended from the sky was hidden here. Many beautiful and ancient myths were inextricably linked to this place. Some people had claimed to have seen the magnificent and huge palace shining with metallic luster here, but no one had ever been able to bring anything out of it alive to prove that they had indeed entered the slender palace that was said to be built between the two largest and highest peaks.
That was because this place was also a forbidden zone for life. Only those blue-haired noble knights, and those who were at the top among them, dared to enter this place. It was said that between those cloud-like snowy peaks, there were countless illusions and ghosts. Often, mysterious people or explosions would appear near them without any warning. They looked very panicked and frightened, as if they had stopped at the moment of death before falling into hell. They screamed and ran around the palace, their faces filled with despair and despair.
However, even those at the top did not dare to stay here for too long. If they did not return to the plain at the foot of the mountain for more than seven days, then what awaited them would be the death curse of the devil or the punishment of God. Their hair would fall off on the eighth day, their flesh and blood would decay into abscesses on the ninth day, and their bones would begin to rot on the thirteenth day …
No one could challenge the forbidden area of God, whether it was the blue-haired master or the black-haired slave. Even the most distinguished attendants and powerful deacons of the Temple did not dare to rashly enter the Aoyun Mountain Range. But there was a desperate man who had to approach this place with great panic, because behind him, there was no way to live, and there were masters chasing him everywhere.
In the wind and snow, Hull's body turned purple from the cold, and his limbs were stiff. Step by step, he crawled towards the top of the mountain. He didn't dare to stop, because if he did, he would never be able to stand up again. Only by constantly walking could he feel his own existence.
Hull thought that he should come here. The great and only Supreme God had summoned him, so he had to come here and then follow the arrangements of the Supreme God.
This was the only meaning of his life.
He was scared and nervous, so much so that he was scared to death. When he was halfway up the mountain, the legendary phantoms and phantoms appeared without warning. Although the screaming phantoms did not drag him into the land of the dead as the legend said, Hull was still very frightened and uneasy.
Because those ghosts or the undead had the same hair color as him — black! However, the clothes they wore were hundreds of times more gorgeous than those of the blue-haired noble masters. Even in those realistic and extremely terrifying explosions of the palace rooms, there were still a small number of the undead who escaped with those gorgeous clothes, but they were quickly drowned by another violent explosion …
Every time Hull saw their despairing and crumbling faces in the flames, he shuddered from head to toe, and if that were the land of the dead, he would rather die in the cold sea than suffer such torment and agony.
But he had no way to escape. Since the last time, the Supreme God had not appeared again, as if doubting his loyalty and faith, and was ready to give up on him. Therefore, in order to prove his loyalty and show his heart to the Supreme God piously, Hull came here, ready to regain the trust of the Supreme God at the cost of rotting his life.
Because he felt that the Supreme God was still calling him, especially when he reached the Aoyun Mountains. As soon as he put on the transparent semi-circular cover, there would be countless hurried and frightened roars coming from somewhere between the snowy peaks. He could not understand those voices and did not know what they were saying, but in any case, they could guide him forward.
After walking for a long time and climbing for a long time, exhausted, Hull felt that his soul was about to be frozen. In a trance, it seemed that even his hair was falling off and his flesh and bones were rotting. Then, behind the wind and snow and the illusion, he saw a magnificent and spectacular slender palace …
*****
The insect corpses under Chu Yunsheng's feet piled higher and higher, but there were still countless red-shelled insects launching waves of desperate attacks from the bottom of the corpses.
The twelve members of the Icefire Combat Squad and the eight ghost warriors surrounded him tightly, shrinking into an impenetrable inner circle. Again and again, they shot out flames and ice light, piercing through the rows of red-shelled insects that tried to get close to him, and sent them flying.
The space entrance was already under their feet, buried by the insect corpses, but Chu Yunsheng, who was standing at the top, was constantly paying attention to its movements with Yuan Qi fluctuations.
At this moment, the ice whirlwind talisman had become the most useful weapon. It was bombarded from Chu Yunsheng's hands one by one, triggering the rune law, forming a vortex of ice spikes outside the inner circle, piercing the densely packed red-shelled insects like hedgehogs, and then freezing them into insect-shaped ice sculptures of various shapes.
The red-shelled insects in the back ignored the death of their companions in the front, and quickly climbed up from their corpses again. The corrosive mucus that had been frozen by Chu Yunsheng's ice talisman began to corrode Chu Yunsheng's armor inch by inch.
They couldn't get any closer to the inner circle formed by Chu Yunsheng and the others. That was the death zone, the place where the corpses piled up. As long as they rushed there, the ruthless ice spikes and sharp sword qi would pierce them and kill them.
When the corpses piled up to the extent that they could no longer be piled up, when the insects in the outer circle were stacked up to a few stories high, Chu Yunsheng would throw out more than five fire scroll talismans in one breath, pushing them away with the violent fire elemental energy storm, completely destroying their attempt to bury Chu Yunsheng and the others in the pile of corpses.
On the periphery of the swarm, the main force of the fourth battle zone, with the awakeners as the vanguard, counterattacked step by step, clearing the surrounding red-shelled insects they encountered one by one. The first and seventh battle zones also launched attacks, harassing the two wings of the insect army.
The insects that gradually fell into the human's trap seemed to be unaware of this. They were still desperately attacking Chu Yunsheng, the "thorn in their side", as if they would not give up until they killed him.
But with the help of the Icefire team and the phantom warlord, Chu Yunsheng's pressure at the moment was not very great. Once upon a time, before he reached the third stage of Yuan Tian stage, he was able to take Edgar and break through the insect's base camp under the giant tombs. Now he was only one step away from the third stage. If it weren't for the insect's sudden invasion, he would have definitely broken through the third stage after three or four days of quiet cultivation. His various strengths were also extremely strong. The red-shelled insect army without elite combat insects could not pose a substantial threat in the face of his many offensive talismans and twelve sword qi.
This was the difference in the key realm. Even if there was a little difference, it was no longer something that could be offset by quantity. In Jin Ling City, a Purple Flame Demonic Bug could almost flatten the entire city. Thousands of hunters were helpless in the face of it. It was the same reason why.
But now, the situation was reversed. With the help of the cultivation technique and experience, Chu Yunsheng's strength had been soaring all the way. Sometimes, even he was worried about himself. The incident of using the growth spurt to fall into the path of evil cultivation had left a deep psychological shadow on him. The rapid increase in his cultivation level made him feel insecure and insecure.
But this time, he had been practicing step by step, without any opportunistic tricks. He didn't even dare to stay too long after fusing with the black-ridged insect to advance to Yuan Tian stage three. He was afraid that something would go wrong again.
Therefore, even if there were still three golden-shelled insects hiding underground, and it was difficult to kill them quickly with the twelve sword qi. Only the first sword strike could instantly kill them. But Chu Yunsheng still suppressed the intention of breaking through to the third stage immediately. Although he could indeed break through three or four days earlier, the risk of doing so was extremely great. It was even greater than the risk of facing three golden-shelled insects. Especially since this was a battlefield, he might die here. So it was better to leave it for three or four days later.
Time passed by little by little. After the red-shelled insects on the ground failed to break through, the three golden-shelled insects finally couldn't hold back anymore. After the earth shook violently, they drilled their huge heads out of the ground at the same time and spewed burning flames towards Chu Yunsheng and the others.
Although Chu Yunsheng had been guarding against them, the number of red-shelled insects was too many. The dense figures blocked their sight, and the chaotic fire elemental energy also disrupted the energy fluctuations. Not to mention other people, even Chu Yunsheng couldn't immediately notice that they had drilled their heads out of the crowd of red-shelled insects. Only when the fire dragon-like flames spewed out did he cast out six ice trap talismans at an extremely fast speed. Each golden-shelled insect had to suffer a heavy blow from two talismans.
But at this time, the burning flames could no longer be stopped. The three fire dragons melted together with the red-shelled insects that they passed by. They rushed towards the location where Chu Yunsheng and the others were, and finally gathered at one point. The rapidly rising temperature in the blink of an eye successfully killed an ice awakener, and seriously injured a member of the Icefire combat team and two ghost warlords.
"You guys start to attack with talismans, I will deal with them!"
Chu Yunsheng shouted, then kicked the ground with the tip of his foot and jumped high into the air with his sword. In one breath, he rushed into the swarm of red-shelled insects, using the icicle whirlwind talisman to open the way, pushing away the surrounding red-shelled insects layer by layer.
To kill a golden-shelled insect with twelve sword qi, he had to get close to its huge head, from the weakest part of its mouth to its abdomen, and strangled it from the inside. There was no other way. Even if the ice trap talisman trapped it, the other red-shelled insects would quickly melt it and rescue it. And if the glacier talisman couldn't kill it, it would immediately drill into the ground, and then drill out from other places to attack again. The Icefire combat team and the ghost warlords would suffer more casualties and serious injuries.
If it weren't for so many red-shelled insects, he wouldn't have chosen to rush into the swarm. With his current ability to control the sword qi, it was not difficult to accurately send twelve sword qi into the golden-shelled insect's tooth-shaped mouth from a long distance. But there were too many red-shelled insects. Not only would they block his attack route, but they would also take the initiative to block all the sword qi for the insects behind them. Therefore, in fact, his twelve sword qi never left the front row of the swarm's attack sequence!
The icicle wouldn't be able to trap the golden-shelled insect for too long. The red-shelled insects around him were all fire elemental creatures, and there were many of them. So he had to be fast. He had to insert the frost arrow into the golden-shelled insect's giant mouth before the ice melted.
"Stab!"
The first golden-shelled insect was killed by the sword qi from the inside. It twisted its body in pain and rolled up from the ground. Its huge body was twitching non-stop, killing many red-shelled insects that were much smaller than it. Chu Yunsheng didn't have the time to check its horrible death.
Chu Yunsheng didn't have the time to check its horrible death. He immediately turned around and rushed towards the second red-shelled insect. At this time, the golden-shelled insect's head had just melted out of the icicle. It opened its mouth and was about to spit out the second fire dragon. Chu Yunsheng, who was rushing towards the golden-shelled insect, cleared the surrounding red-shelled insects, and forcibly aimed the frost arrow at the golden-shelled insect's open mouth. Twelve sword Qi were sent into the flame, and then he immediately turned around and rushed towards the third and last red-shelled insect.
But that golden-shelled insect had already broken out of the ice trap. It opened its giant mouth, and the burning flame evaporated the air into white mist. Then it rushed to the top of the pile of corpses of the Icefire Combat Team and the ghost warlord. The ghost warlord that was injured before was killed on the spot, and the other two were also seriously injured. The other people were also injured to different degrees under the second fire dragon attack.
Chu Yunsheng, who was rushing over, did not give it a chance to spit out the third flame. Almost touching its head, he sent the twelve sword qi into its mouth, and then quickly jumped back, threw out a monster seal talisman that he had prepared, and hung it in the air, waiting for the moment before it died …
On the other side, the other team members were sealing healing talismans on the seriously injured team members, trying to save their lives that were rapidly fading away. In addition to the corrosive mucus and the fierce attack of the red-shelled insects, they had so far lost three people, six people were seriously injured, and only eleven people could still fight.
The casualty rate was close to half! But compared with the battle with Duo Neng race, they had obviously improved a lot. Of course, it was not in terms of strength, but in terms of cooperation and combat level. That time, a total of six people were killed!
However, the golden-shelled insect was already dead, so the insects could no longer fight back. The second group of insects that Chu Yunsheng had been worried about did not come. Maybe they were blocked by the black-ridged insects, or maybe they were not here. In short, they never appeared.
The battle lasted for a day and a night, and almost everyone was exhausted. The real advantage of the insects was revealed at this time. They did not know fatigue, did not know death, and could still launch wave after wave of continuous attacks.
But their number was getting smaller and smaller. Even if they had such a strong advantage, they could no longer form a huge impact force. With the help of Chu Yunsheng's offensive talismans and the coordination of the three battle zones, the reinforcements from Puxi City finally started the last stage of the battle to completely annihilate this wave of insects.
When the last red-shelled insect died in a wail, the entire fourth battle zone was already covered with dead bodies, layer upon layer, forming a sea of dead bodies. There were human bodies, and there were also insects. The sea of dead bodies was so dense that one couldn't see the end of it …
The troops that suffered heavy casualties had to temporarily withdraw from the fourth battle zone to rest, and the troops and laborers that were urgently transferred from other battle zones could only step on those bloody bodies and clean up the mess while vomiting.
Compared to more than half a month ago, when Chu Yunsheng used his sword to break the encirclement, this battle between humans and insects was even more terrifying. Because Chu Yunsheng's sword was too fast and too fierce. Many people didn't even have time to react before they were completely defeated. In addition to the extreme fear of Chu Yunsheng, they didn't have much time to feel the battle itself, or it could be said that they didn't have any suffering.
And this battle lasted for two days and one night, almost 72 hours. Death and bloody moments happened tragically every minute and every second. Although they won in the end, everyone felt as if they had died once. Especially the determination of the insects. Even if they had to die, they still had the determination to open a path for their companions behind them. Even if there was only one left, facing the "fierce" human beings that surrounded them, it didn't panic at all, and it didn't retreat at all. Instead, it chose to rush to the muzzle and die together with its companions! … All of these were shocking to the core.
Only Chu Yunsheng was sitting on the top of the pile of red-shelled insects' bodies, flipping the monster seal talisman in his hand, and smoking silently.
The tomb breeder that he was waiting for still didn't show up. It was probably because it wasn't sure that it was safe outside, so it chose another path, which made him slightly disappointed. If he could seal a primitive tomb breeder, with the land of Pudong, coupled with technological production methods, it would be enough for him to create a controllable and efficient slime war zone. However, these insect corpses that were scattered all over the ground could allow his strength to increase rapidly.
After smoking a cigarette, the fat division commander Liu Yimin hurriedly stepped on the sticky bodies, wiped the sweat that was forced out by the fire elemental energy, and said while panting, "Mr. Chu, the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield found a flying green-shelled insect that is not dead yet. I don't know if we should kill it or give it to the scientific research base?"
