Amidst the blood-red sky, the bugs looked like locusts, but when they swooped down, they looked like meteors. Each of them was like a meteor from outer space, burning with flame and the power of stars and moons as they swooped down crazily.
In fact, Zither Dragon Worms were actually star beasts, and they had the bodies of dragons and the heads of beasts. But, what puzzled Reverend Yun was that none of these Zither Dragon Worms had the same head, and each of them looked very strange. He had never seen them in the mortal realm or the Dragon Realm.
Putting aside the fact that the Zither Dragon Worm had blood stains all over its body, and that every time it waved its dragon claws, it could unleash the power of stars, and it only had one eye, which could shoot out a five-colored beam whenever it opened and closed its eyes. Just the fact that it could produce music when it opened its mouth was enough to give Reverend Yun a headache.
The music produced by each bug was different, and yet, the entire heaven and earth was filled with a war song that could frighten one's divine soul. Reverend Yun could not figure out whether it was the war song that attracted these bugs, or the war song that was triggered by them.
But, in any case, the threat posed by the attack of the zither dragon worms was obvious. Before those worms could even get close to him, Reverend Yun could already feel his blood vessels swelling and his heart bursting with killing intent. He could not help but urge his dragon force to soar into the sky and fight a life-and-death battle with the zither dragon worms. But, when he reached the place where his dragon force was, he was shocked to find that half of his dragon force had disappeared without him noticing, and his overall strength had been greatly reduced.
"These Zither Dragon Worms are too strange ~"
Reverend Yun was greatly shocked, and he began to think of a countermeasure.
"Fellow Daoist Yun!"
While Reverend Yun was pondering, Ao Sheng spoke, "Do you have time to accompany me to have a look at the situation of the battle?"
"Of course!"
Reverend Yun did not think too much about it. He controlled his body and flew up into the sky with Ao Sheng, while a few Dragon Guards surrounded him.
At the moment, the first bugs to fall had already stood together with some dragons who had flown up into the sky. The strange music and the roars of the dragons had begun to play like a tragic sonata.
"Fellow Daoist Yun!"
Ao Sheng stopped in midair, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "You haven't been to Black Lotus before, have you?"
"No!"
Reverend Yun nodded and said, "My previous trial was somewhere else."
"Then, do you know anything about Black Lotus?"
Ao Sheng asked again.
"Not really."
Reverend Yun had nothing to hide, so he answered, "Because the Zither Dragon Worm is too difficult to deal with, and the Black Tokens are not easy to find, so I didn't know much about it."
"Look around."
Ao Sheng reminded, "Let's listen to the music of the Zither Dragon Worm."
"Oh ~"
Reverend Yun squinted his eyes and watched for a brief moment, then pricked up his ears and listened carefully. "Nothing!" he said confusedly.
"Fellow Daoist Ji ~"
Ao Sheng smiled. "Do you know why I asked you to come with me?"
"I don't know."
Reverend Qin shook his head without thinking.
"Because you died together with Xiao Longshi in the mortal world ~"
Ao Sheng explained, "You led the Fortune Gate's disciples from the mortal world to fight against the World Destroying Ephemera."
"I understand ~"
Reverend Yun was enlightened. He looked at the Zither Dragon Worms and said, "These Zither Dragon Worms are somewhat similar to the World Destroying Ephemera. But, the problem is, we don't have many dragons, so we can't fight them in a formation!"
"The purpose of the other dragons is to devour the Piano Dragon Worm. They only know how to kill each other."
Ao Sheng smiled and said, "Is that why I'm here?"
"Hiss ~"
Reverend Yun took a deep breath and looked at Ao Sheng. This time, he finally understood what Ao Sheng meant. "You mean, other than improving your strength, you also want to train your troops? Or, you want to choose generals who can lead troops? "
"That's right ~"
Ao Sheng lowered his voice again and said, "Powerful dragons are everywhere, but generals who can lead troops are rare. I need dragon guards like Yan, Yun, and Ye, and even more so, I need generals like Xiao Longshi!"
"Oh, right."
Reverend Yun felt a sense of disgust when he heard the name Ye. He frowned and asked, "Where did Ye go?"
"I'm not sure ~"
How could Ao Sheng reveal that he had left his primordial spirit on Xiao Hua? He smiled and said, "He probably went to look for the python. Just ignore him, tell me … "
Although Ao Sheng did not reveal his secret, he still habitually used his perception and knew that Xiao Hua was outside the five lakes.
"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed ~"
Reverend Yun shook his head and said without thinking, "I don't know how to lead troops at all. As far as I know, Daoist Xiao can't do it either. He's too kind and not good at leading troops. Most of the battles in the mortal world were done by Fortune Gate's disciples."
"Daoist Yun, don't you know?"
Ao Sheng asked curiously, "Xiao Longshi is a famous general in the human world!"
"Bullshit ~"
Reverend Yun curled his lips and said, "Those were all done by his disciples. I know that."
"Sigh, what a pity ~"
Ao Sheng sighed and said, "I was thinking of inviting Xiao Longshi to Dragon Field to be our Dragon Field's Dragon Field again!"
"Daoist Xiao is also strange ~"
Reverend Yun smiled bitterly and said, "He's doing well in the Heavenly Court, but when he came to Dragon Field, he disappeared without a trace. I'm afraid he went too deep!"
"If there's any news about Xiao Longshi ~"
Ao Sheng said, "Daoist Yun, you must tell me. I miss him very much."
Boom boom boom ~
As they spoke, more dragons flew out from the five lakes and joined the battle.
"Daoist Yun ~"
Ao Sheng hurriedly asked, "Look at these dragons' formation …"
"Formation?"
Reverend Yun was stunned and asked curiously, "They don't know each other, so how can they form a formation?"
However, when Reverend Yun looked at them for a brief moment, he suddenly realized something. He glanced around again, and after a long while, he said, "I get it now. These... these five lakes and the surrounding mountain ranges are natural battle formations. As long as we, the dragons, fly up from here and engage in battle, we will become a battle formation."
"That's right ~"
Ao Sheng nodded and said, "That's why I asked you to take a look."
"Young Master Ao thinks too highly of me ~"
Reverend Yun smiled bitterly and said, "When I was in the mortal world, I followed Daoist Xiao to fight. I'm no different from those dragons who don't know battle formations …"
Clang clang clang ~ Clang clang clang ~
Before Reverend Yun could finish, an inexplicable melody suddenly rang out from the sky not far away. Although the melody was short, when it stopped in Ao Sheng's ears, his expression changed drastically!
Roar! Roar!
Along with the melody came the screams of the dragons. Reverend Yun hurriedly looked over and saw a Zither Dragon Worm several times larger than an ordinary Zither Dragon Worm biting a crimson dragon. The crimson dragon's body was trembling and unable to resist.
"Why is it so early?"
Ao Sheng exclaimed in a low voice.
"Young Master ~"
A Dragon Guard reminded, "Since the Zither Dragon Worm's melody changed so early, we can't wait any longer. It's better for us to act and escape as soon as possible."
"Let's wait a little longer ~"
Ao Sheng looked around and shook his head. "Most of those who can come to the Nianhu trial have a background. We can't stand out too much. Besides, don't worry, we've been through the 'marrow' trial. The marrow has a certain restraining effect on this Zither Dragon Worm. At least we can escape without a problem."
