CHAPTER 1645: CHAPTER 1645
Set out
Huala!
The stone beetle leader's screams clearly caused the surrounding stone beetles to become even more berserk.
With Hu Wentian at the lead, the defending army felt an immense pressure at this moment.
"Control them!"
Ning Yue's mind was more resolute than the others. He ignored the roars of the stone beetle leader and focused all of his attention on controlling it.
Fortunately, he had the help of the green branches from the sapling. Otherwise, Ning Yue wouldn't have been able to control the stone beetle leader by himself.
Puff!
As time passed, the stone beetle leader's condition became worse and worse.
In the end, as the stone beetle leader spat out a mouthful of red liquid, it became extremely weak.
Ning Yue seized this golden opportunity and forced a few more drops of his blood into the stone beetle's core.
Puchi!
After doing all this, Ning Yue spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He was now as weak as the stone beetle leader.
Rumble!
Just then, the stone beetle army broke through Hu Wentian and the rest's defensive line and rushed towards Ning Yue.
"Be careful!"
"Let's go!"
"Ning Yue, run!"
Hu Wentian, Xie Ze, and the rest exclaimed at the same time when they saw the stone beetle army charging towards Ning Yue.
Hearing Hu Wentian and the others' cries, Ning Yue weakly opened his eyes, opened his mouth, and shouted with all his strength, "Stone Beetle Leader, tell them to stop …"
After saying this, Ning Yue's entire body became limp, and he slumped to the ground.
Grrr!
Hearing Ning Yue's order, the Rock Beetle Leader flapped its wings unwillingly and let out a grumbling sound.
Whoosh!
As soon as the Stone Beetle Leader finished speaking, the Stone Beetles that were swarming towards them suddenly stopped and floated in the air, not daring to move forward.
"This …"
The sudden change caused Hu Wentian and Xie Ze to reveal looks of surprise. They had no idea what was going on.
"I know, Ning Yue is controlling the Rock Beetle Leader!"
Hu Wentian and Xie Ze were not stupid.
In just an instant, he had guessed a certain possibility.
Xie Ze and Hu Wentian looked at Ning Yue, then looked at the stone beetle leader floating in front of Ning Yue. They exchanged a glance and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Although they had pinned their hopes on Ning Yue, when Ning Yue really took control of the Rock Beetle Leader, they were still in disbelief.
The stone-beetle leader was a Peak Ninth Grade Earth Sovereign, while Ning Yue was only a First Grade Earth Sovereign.
Even though the stone beetle leader was under the control of a small formation, it was not easy to control it.
At the very least, Hu Wentian and Xie Ze did not have absolute confidence in controlling the stone beetle leader.
Defeating the stone beetle leader was not difficult, but controlling it was harder than ascending to the heavens!
How could Hu Wentian and Xie Ze not be shocked that Ning Yue could control the stone beetle leader?
"Don't just stand there. Hurry up and recuperate, then we'll head to the deepest part of the Saint Grade Yuan Crystal Vein!"
Ning Yue raised his hand with difficulty and said, "Rest for half an hour. We'll leave in half an hour."
When Hu Wentian and Xie Ze heard Ning Yue's words, they did not dare to delay and sat down to recuperate.
While Hu Wentian and Xie Ze were recuperating, Ning Yue started to communicate with the stone beetle leader.
Since he had controlled the stone beetle leader, he had to let it unleash its full potential.
Otherwise, Ning Yue would not mind letting the sapling temporarily control the stone beetle leader.
He believed that the sapling would not reject the stone beetle leader, given how much it liked the stone beetle leader.
"Tell me, why is the Stone Beetle Clan here?"
Ning Yue went straight to the point and asked without beating around the bush.
"Because inside this Saint Grade Yuan Crystal Vein, there is something that we, the stone beetle clan, want."
The stone beetle leader answered honestly.
It was now meat on the chopping block.
The stone beetle leader did not want to make an enemy out of Ning Yue.
At the very least, it would not make an enemy out of Ning Yue until it found a way to expel the blood essence from the beast core.
"What is it?" Ning Yue asked again.
"The thing you used to deal with me. In your human language, it should be called the World Tree." The stone beetle leader did not hide anything from Ning Yue.
"Looks like you did not lie to me." Ning Yue nodded and said, "How many stone beetles are there in the Saint Grade Yuan Crystal Vein?"
"One hundred thousand."
The stone beetle leader answered without hesitation.
"Hiss!"
Hearing this, Ning Yue could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Originally, Ning Yue thought that ten thousand stone beetles in the Saint Grade Yuan Crystal Vein would be good enough. Who would have thought that there would be as many as one hundred thousand!
One hundred thousand stone beetles, even if all of them were at the Manifestation Realm, could easily fight against a peak Sky Supreme martial artist!
"Later, I will take you to the depths of the Saint Grade Yuan Crystal Vein. If I am satisfied with your performance, I will give you a small branch of the World Tree." Ning Yue said after a moment of thought.
"What!"
However, Ning Yue's words made the sapling very unhappy.
In the sapling's mind, any branch of the World Tree was its personal property. Other people, no, other demonic beasts, should not even think about it!
"You'd better behave yourself." Ning Yue glared at the sapling, then grabbed the emerald branch and threw it into his storage ring.
Whether or not they could obtain the branch of the World Tree depended on the stone beetles.
With the stone beetles, Ning Yue's group would be the most advantageous contender for the branch of the World Tree.
Without the stone beetles, they were just cannon fodder.
Moreover, Ning Yue had a feeling that the Demonic Spirit Realm expert in the crystal coffin was not simple. Who knows, there might be a huge battle when they were fighting for the branch of the World Tree.
At this time, they had to rely on the stone beetle army!
"Wait and see."
Being thrown into the storage ring, the sapling was not angry. It only muttered, "How can it be that easy to obtain the branch of the World Tree? The stone beetle army is just cannon fodder at most."
Half an hour passed quickly.
After half an hour of rest, Hu Wentian and the ten Nine-Tailed Demon Foxes had already recovered to their peak state.
As for Xie Ze and Zhao Lin, they had also mostly recovered.
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his hand, Ning Yue's army marched forward.
Among them, Ning Yue ordered the stone beetle leader to lead a hundred stone beetles to open the path, while the rest of the stone beetles surrounded them, responsible for their safety.
Just like that, the stone beetles escorted Ning Yue, Hu Wentian, and the others to the deepest part of the saint grade crystal mine.
After setting off, Ning Yue finally understood the terror of the stone beetle army.
It was unknown if the stone beetle army was very angry, but wherever they passed, it was not an exaggeration to say that not even a blade of grass was left behind.
Whether it was the walls or the miners who were crushed to death, they were all devoured by the stone beetle army.
