These strange insects were no threat to cultivators at all after losing their host.
Lu Ye lowered his head and looked at the insect in his hand. It was about the same size as the insect he found before. It looked like a cicada, but its body was golden as if it was made of gold.
"Insect King!" He whispered softly.
"What?" Zhou Hai frowned.
"This is the Insect King!"
The group of people was puzzled, especially the few Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivators. They had never heard of an Insect King before. They had been in the Cloud River Battlefield for so long and experienced many Sealed Worlds. They had also seen many insect races, but those insect races were a group of monsters that only knew how to destroy and kill. There had never been an Insect King.
"How do you know it's the Insect King?" Xia Qian Qian asked, puzzled.
"When I was parasitized just now, I felt something …" Lu Ye carefully recalled the feeling just now and said thoughtfully, "Kill it, and the crisis of the Realm of Beasts will be resolved!"
Hearing him say this, everyone was suddenly interested. Zhou Hai asked, "How do you know?"
Lu Ye sorted out the various information he received when he was parasitized and explained, "The other insect races are controlled by this Insect King. When it's dead, the other insect races are just decorations. Even if they are still parasitized in the bodies of Monster Beasts, they won't have any effect on the Monster Beasts …"
When he was parasitized, he felt many auras above, which were obviously the auras of the insects parasitizing the Monster Beasts.
There was also the direction of Two World City.
There were tens of millions of Life Marks, which were obviously the marks of the insect race.
When Hu Po was parasitized in Two World City,
He sensed the location of Black Tortoise Sect, which was the connection between him and the Insect King.
"In other words, after killing this Insect King, we don't have to deal with those Monster Beasts?" Shen Xiao Mao asked.
She was full of worry before.
Because even if they killed Niu Meng here, they would still have to face the Monster Beasts.
After going out, they still had to face the overwhelming number of Monster Beasts. In their current state, they didn't have much strength to fight, but if things were really as Lu Ye said.
Then they only needed to kill one Insect King.
The madness of the Monster Beasts outside could be eradicated.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know when we get back." Lu Ye said as he squeezed the golden Insect King.
The golden liquid that burst out was swept away by his scorching Spirit Energy.
It was instantly annihilated.
At the same time, on the surface of the Black Tortoise Sect, the demonic beasts that were roaring madly and wanting to attack the ground suddenly calmed down.
The scarlet color in his eyes quickly receded.
It was not only the Black Tortoise Sect that was like this.
It was the same for Two World City, which was on the verge of being breached.
The cultivators with faces full of despair were shocked to find that,
The Monstrous Beasts, who seemed to have some irreconcilable enmity with them a moment ago, actually retreated like the tide.
On the broken city walls, the surviving cultivators slowly gathered.
Looking at the huge group of beasts that was gradually disappearing into the distance, they enjoyed the joy of surviving a calamity.
No one knew why the demonic beasts suddenly retreated.
Only the cultivators of the Nine Regions had a vague guess.
Someone had solved the problem of the Realm of Beasts.
At this time,
Beneath the Black Tortoise Sect, everyone had already retreated from the sealed insect nest.
After Niu Meng died,
The hive withered, and a gap opened up in the sealed hive.
There was still poisonous fog left in the nest.
No one wanted to stay in there any longer.
However, he was unable to determine the situation of the demonic beasts on the ground.
Therefore, no one dared to casually go up.
They could only find a place to recuperate in the underground passage.
The poison had a great impact on the cultivators. Even though they had taken many antidote pills before, everyone was still sore and weak. Their limbs were weak, and their spiritual power could not be used.
In such a situation, they had to return to the Cloud River battlefield.
They had to find a medical cultivator to treat them. They had to rely on themselves.
It was difficult to clean up the poison that had invaded their bodies.
In the dim passage, Lu Ye swallowed a healing pill and slowly recuperated.
Yiyi had already been sent out to spy on the situation on the ground. If the situation was different from what he thought, then everyone would have to fight their way out.
This was undoubtedly something that no one wanted to face.
Looking at everyone's current state,
All of them were seriously injured. In addition, they were poisoned. They could not even use half of their usual strength.
In the silence, Pang Dahai suddenly chuckled. "Everyone, look at your battle merits!"
He had obviously discovered something and was in a rather good mood.
Hearing what he said, everyone hurriedly took out their identity nameplates to check.
Lu Ye also checked and was surprised to find that he had nearly thirty thousand battle merits!
Battle merits were distributed by Heaven's Secret, so there would not be any embezzlement or falsification. Lu Ye had relied on a large number of Spirit Arrays to kill many Monster Beasts and obtained a little more than three thousand battle merits. When he was defending Two World City, his battle merits increased to more than five thousand. Not only did he obtain battle merits from killing enemies, but he also obtained battle merits from maintaining the Thunder Roar Array.
And now, he had nearly thirty thousand battle merits! In other words, the trip to Black Turtle Sect had allowed him to obtain nearly twenty-five thousand battle merits. Most of them must have come from killing Fierce Niu with everyone, and some should have come from killing the Insect King.
Perhaps it was also because he had discovered the secret of the Insect Race here …
No matter what, for a Second-Order Cloud River Realm cultivator like Lu Ye, nearly thirty thousand battle merits was a huge harvest.
At Two World City's military supply office, the golden spirit lot was only worth sixteen thousand and two hundred battle merits. Lu Ye's battle merits were almost enough to exchange for two golden spirit lots!
He did not know how many battle merits the others had, but it should not be any worse than his. The few Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivators had all contributed greatly in the previous battle, especially Zhou Hai and Pang Dahai. Fierce Niu had died under Zhou Hai's flying sword, and Pang Dahai had contributed greatly when fighting Fierce Niu.
In this case, Fierce Niu was worth about a hundred to two hundred thousand battle merits. After killing him, Heaven's Secret distributed the battle merits according to everyone's contribution.
How bitter they had been when fighting Fierce Niu was now how happy they were now. In the darkness, everyone was beaming with joy.
However, when they set off, there were more than a dozen of them. Now, only seven or eight people were still alive. The battle with Fierce Niu was extremely dangerous. Half of the Weapon Cultivators died, and one Body Cultivator died. Even the female Ghost Cultivator did not escape.
Huge gains also meant tragic losses. In the life of a cultivator, they would always encounter difficult crises.
"Are we missing one person?" Pang Dahai suddenly asked.
Lu Ye looked around and counted the number of people. He found that one person was indeed missing. Taking a closer look, he found that the missing person was Lan Ziyi.
This surprised him. He did not seem to have left any traces, but this woman was very alert. He did not know when she left the group and hid.
After entering the Realm of Beasts Sealed World and cooperating with Lan Ziyi under Heaven's Secret World's arrangement, it was not a big deal. After all, it was Heaven's Secret World's arrangement. Moreover, Lan Ziyi's identity here was his maid, so Lu Ye had the advantage.
However, whether it was Lu Ye or Lan Ziyi, they both knew each other's background.
They belonged to two different camps. They had fought in the Spirit Stream Battlefield and had experienced each other's strength. If the opportunity was right, Lu Ye would not mind killing Lan Ziyi. He believed that Lan Ziyi had the same idea.
He had not revealed his intentions before because he did not have the right opportunity. He did not know which camp the rest of the team belonged to except for Pang Dahai. If he really did do it in front of others, he might not succeed.
This was a good opportunity. Lan Ziyi was heavily poisoned, and her strength was greatly reduced. Although Lu Ye was also heavily injured, he was in a much better state than Lan Ziyi.
As long as he found an opening, he was confident that he could kill this woman in one strike. At that time, even if someone wanted to interfere, Pang Dahai could help him block it for a moment.
However, unexpectedly, Lan Ziyi did not give him the chance.
He felt a little regretful, but he also admired this woman's decisiveness. She clearly knew that with her current state, it was not suitable for her to appear in front of Lu Ye.
Lan Ziyi's disappearance did not cause too much of a stir. Pang Dahai only asked and did not say anything else.
They were all old foxes in the Cloud River Battlefield. Lan Ziyi hiding at this time clearly meant that she was afraid of something. There was no need to say anything.
A message came from the battlefield imprint. Lu Ye checked it and found that it was from Yiyi.
It was confirmed that the demonic beasts on the ground of the Black Tortoise Sect had all dispersed. Yiyi purposely found a lone demonic beast nearby to observe. She found that the demonic beast had returned to normal.
"How can we leave this kind of secret realm?" Lu Ye asked.
Pang Dahai said, "Under normal circumstances, if all the problems are solved, there should be a Heaven's Secret Pillar at a certain location. In this secret realm, the Heaven's Secret Pillar should appear in the Two World City. As for where exactly it is, we still need to find it!"
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. "When we left the Two World City, we did not get permission from the City Lord. The City Lord said that if we dare to leave our post without permission, we will be traitors to the human race. We can forget about stepping into the Two World City for the rest of our lives."
Pang Dahai laughed. "So if we want to return to the Two World City, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome." He probably experienced this before, so he did not panic at all.
"But we can't not go back. The military supplies department is still in the Two World City." Lu Ye had a headache.
"That's okay. Your battle merits can be exchanged for any resources you want at the military supplies department in the Two World City. You can also bring them back to the Cloud River Battlefield."
"Hm? What do you mean? "
"Let's put it this way. Battle merits can only be obtained in some secret realms. It is of a higher level than merit points. Even if you don't use it in the secret realm, you can bring it back to any Heaven's Secret Pillar and connect it to the Heaven's Secret Treasure Vault. You can also use your battle merits to exchange for it. Let me remind you, things that can be exchanged for with battle merits may not be exchanged with merit points. For example, the various spiritual tokens. However, things that can be exchanged with merit points, can definitely be exchanged with battle merits. This is because whether it is battle merits or merit points, all resources come from the Heaven's Secret Treasure Vault.
Lu Ye understood. This was very convenient. It also made him feel more and more curious about the mysteries of heaven.
