Soon, they arrived at the destination.
There were not many traces of a great battle. The two Divine Ocean Realm cultivators had fought in the air just now, so it was impossible to leave any traces.
They looked around but couldn't find Xiang Dongliu.
Judging from the battle just now and the short scream at the end, Xiang Dongliu had probably met with an accident. Now, they didn't know whether he was alive or not, and there was no trace of him. There was only one possibility.
Lu Ye stood at the edge of the fog cliff and looked down. Without much hesitation, he said, "I'll go down and look for him."
The environment of the fog cliff was treacherous. The thick fog not only blocked the detection of Divine Sense, but also mixed with a large amount of Magnetic Ore dust. The lower they went, the more their Spiritual Power would be suppressed.
If they really went down the fog cliff, it would be difficult for the cultivators to exert their power. It would be troublesome to come up.
However, it was not impossible to come up. They could always climb up.
"I'll go with you," Xiao Xinghe said.
Lu Ye nodded and was about to flash out when he suddenly stopped. He frowned and listened carefully.
"What's that sound?" Lin Yinxiu also noticed the abnormality. After all, her cultivation was the highest among the people present. It was just that she didn't have Divine Sense, so her perception was not as strong as Lu Ye's, so she discovered the clue later than him.
Soon, the others also noticed the movement.
There was a strange buzzing sound and rustling sounds coming from below the fog cliff, and it was getting closer and closer.
"Something's coming up!" Lu Ye shouted in a low voice. From these sounds, no matter what was coming up, there were very few of them!
"Go in!" Chen Yinxiu shouted and led the group forward. They only stopped when they were a thousand feet away and looked back.
The movement on the fog cliff was getting smaller and smaller, and the thick fog that shrouded the abyss also stopped rolling violently. Something the size of a human body flapped its wings and rushed out of the fog.
Under the bright moonlight, a strange-shaped figure vaguely appeared in everyone's eyes.
"Insect race!" the Yunhe cultivator exclaimed.
The thing that rushed out of the fog cliff was actually a mantis-shaped insect race.
None of the cultivators of the four states were familiar with that kind of thing. After all, there were often insect swarms under the green scale battlefield, and young cultivators had seen the scene of the insect race wreaking havoc.
However, the Zerg behind him was much smaller and weaker than the one Jiao Sili had seen in the Jade-Scale Battlefield. It was filled with an extremely ferocious aura.
That insectoid was at least as strong as Jiao Sili!
Everyone felt their scalps go numb.
Jiao Sili's Zerg was naturally not enough to make everyone lose their composure, but everyone knew that Zergs always moved alone.
They usually gathered in groups, forming a small army of insectoids. Since there were no insectoids, there was no insectoid nest.
Thinking of the commotion they had just heard, everyone felt their hair stand on end.
The thick fog continued to churn as insectoids surged out of the fog cliff. In the blink of an eye, the insectoids were everywhere.
These insectoids were all different in appearance. They were not shaped like mantises spreading their wings, nor were they shaped like hyenas or seven-limbed crawlers. They also wore a layer of extremely thick bone armor, and there were no sharp barbs on their shoulders. The moonlight flickered with a cold light, and they were not like centipedes, whose hundred legs danced, and were as swift as flying.
The first mantis insectoid to rush out of the fog had not discovered the Chen Clan and the others, and it flapped its wings and flew towards us.
A small number of insectoids of different appearances followed closely behind. The Yunhe cultivator's flying sword slashed out, and directly cut the insectoid in half. As the sword light wreaked havoc, even fewer insectoids fell halfway.
Feng Yuechan's technique was Break, and she cooperated with Jiao Sili to kill the enemy.
Even Yiyi, who had been hiding in Hu Po's body all this time, came out in a flash, and activated the power of her technique.
However, even though the two people and one spirit's techniques were ordinary, they were still unable to deal with the small number of insectoids that swarmed over.
In a short while, the insectoids had charged close to us.
The giant armor blocked our backs. The Chen Clan, Xiao Xinghe, and the Divine Ocean cultivators stood on the left and right. Sword light flashed, and insectoids fell one after another.
The Chen Clan's expression was solemn.
When I was in the Jade Scale Battlefield, I had experienced an insectoid tide, but the insectoids I encountered this time were much easier to deal with than the ones behind us. After all, they were things outside the Jiao Si Battlefield, and the strength they could unleash might be too weak.
However, these insectoids were all comparable to Lin Yinxiu. If they were few in number, it would be troublesome to deal with them, but if they were few in number, it would be a disaster.
The Chen Clan really did not understand why there were so few insectoids on the Fog Cliff.
Why were the insectoids not discovered in the future? The insectoids were highly intelligent, and they might have been hiding on the Fog Cliff all this time.
The Chen Clan recalled their mission. It was Nightingale who reported that there were no Ferocious Beasts here. Before we came, we had also killed a harmful spirit python, so we thought that the spirit python was the Ferocious Beast that Nightingale had discovered.
However, they thought that it was. They thought that what Nightingale had discovered was not the spirit python, but the signs of the insectoids surging in the Fog Cliff.
They did not have the time to think too much. The eight people and one spirit fought fiercely with the insectoids for a while, and the Chen Clan shouted, "Let's go!"
If we continued to stay, we would probably be surrounded by the insectoids. In that short period of time, although the number of insectoids that died in the hands of the Chen Clan was few, there was still a small army of insectoids in our field of vision.
The Chen Clan vaguely sensed that the insectoids that rushed out of the Fog Cliff did not have Lin Yinxiu, and there were no True Lake Realm cultivators …
They sensed that there were no insectoids comparable to Li Baxian, but it was fine!
I gave the order, and everyone immediately rushed into the sky, killing a bloody path through the encirclement of the young insectoids, and slowly escaped in a direction. The young insectoids in front of us chased closely, but they were all killed by Jiao Sili's flying sword.
"Divine Ocean Realm cultivators, send a message to the Law Division. Tell the head that there is no insectoid tide here. Also, the head of the Law Division, Xiang Dongliu, has been killed by a male cultivator with an identity. We know if he is alive or dead!"
"Yes!" The Divine Ocean Realm cultivators accepted the order and hurriedly responded.
"Senior Sister Feng, send a message to Pill Heart Sect and ask us to send people to eliminate the insectoids!"
In the area thousands of miles away, Pill Heart Sect was not the weakest sect. Now that the insectoid tide suddenly broke out, the sects and families had no way to deal with it. Even an eighth-rank clan like Jiao Si's was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of such an insectoid tide. Even if Team D4 did not eliminate Spirit Stream today, it would be difficult for them to survive.
Pill Heart Sect was the only sect we could not rely on. If we could not send people over in time, we might not have a chance to stop the insectoid tide from spreading.
Feng Yuechan hurriedly sent the message.
While speaking, the Chen Clan descended to somewhere above.
Outside that area was the backyard of Spirit Stream. Later, when Chen Lie led Jiao Si and the others to retreat from Spirit Stream, they passed by that area. According to Chen Lie, that area was where the people of Spirit Stream who did not have the talent to cultivate lived. There were a lot of people, about two to eight thousand of them.
Anyone in Spirit Stream who did not have the ability to cultivate was basically dead.
Only the mortals who had never cultivated were left. Now that the insectoid tide suddenly broke out, if those mortals were to pay attention to it, they would definitely have a chance to survive.
Although the Chen Clan had just fought a small battle with Spirit Stream and almost wiped out their entire clan, it was Jiao Si who started it first. And now, I know why Spirit Stream did this.
But to those mortals, the Chen Clan had a way to reason with them.
Flying to the backyard, the Chen Clan shouted in a low voice, "The insectoid tide has broken out. If you want to live, quickly find a place to hide. The deeper you hide, the better. Slowly, slowly!"
Back in the rear courtyard of the Spirit Stream Sect, there were many mortals who had never cultivated. Tonight, none of them were able to sleep well because there had been no more fighting in the main family. We all knew what had happened, and many of them were roused from their slumber. They gathered together to discuss the situation, hoping to find someone to go to the main family and check on the situation.
Before they could come to a conclusion, the Chen Clan's voice rang out from below.
Although these mortals had never cultivated, they were still from Spirit Stream, and knew a thing or two about the cultivation world. Naturally, they had heard about the insectoid tide.
The Chen Clan's voice was calm, and the Spirit Stream cultivators who had gathered together immediately panicked. Thankfully, there weren't any old men in charge, and they quickly scattered to find a place to hide.
The Chen Clan turned around and saw a dark cloud rising from the Foggy Cliff under the moonlight. The dark cloud was densely packed with the figures of the Insectoid Tribe. There were so many of them that they could not be counted.
I didn't linger. Before the Spirit Stream cultivators could react, I turned and flew away, pulling out some explosive flame spirit stones from my bag of holding.
Rumbling sounds were heard, accompanied by violent vibrations of the leaves.
A small number of insectoids were attracted, and they chased after me.
The insectoids were highly intelligent, but they were extremely sensitive to the vibrations of the leaves. The Chen Clan had noticed this back in the Jade-Scale Battlefield. Jiao Si didn't dare to let the insectoids linger in the backyard of Spirit Stream, so he had to use that method to attract their attention and lure them away.
As for whether or not there would be any side effects, Ling Xi and the other mortals would be the ones who would be able to survive at the very beginning.
I would do my best and leave the rest to fate.
"Captain, Minister, I want you to protect yourselves first," the Divine Sea cultivator suddenly said.
Of course Jiao Si knew he had to protect himself. However, given the current situation, I had to attract the insectoids' attention first.
"What is the Pill Heart Sect's response?" the Chen Clan asked.
Feng Yuechan hurriedly replied, "The Pill Heart Sect hasn't sent anyone yet."
"Good!" Chen Jia roared and continued to throw out Exploding Fire Spirit Rocks. The sound of explosions was accompanied by dense Lu Ye fluctuations. The Zergs in front of him were like a tidal wave that chased after him.
The Chen Clan could sense the weak auras of the young masters in the swarm, and knew that these insectoids were comparable to Jiao Sili.
"Gather and spread out!" The Chen Clan grabbed Hu Po from his shoulder and threw it to the giant beetle. Then, he turned and flew in another direction. A pair of fiery red wings spread out on his back, and his speed increased sharply.
"The Chen Clan!" Yiyi exclaimed.
"Let's go!" Xiao Xinghe shouted, and took the lead in another direction.
The rumbling sounds gradually faded away. A moment later, everyone turned around and saw that there were only a few insectoids chasing after us. However, Jiao Si's insectoids were endless. Their hearts couldn't help but rise to their throats.
