Chapter 458 - He Never Changed (1/2)

‘Changlong County’s… Prefecture!’

Ou Yangming was dumbstruck for a second when Wu Hanning uttered those words.

Changlong County?

Did he hear her right? Had the Insects not been attacking Huangsha and Yongxia all this while?

In actuality, the Insects had always attacked Huangsha County for generations and would only move on to Yongxiang if Huangsha crumbled. Only if both counties had fallen, they would proceed to attack the other

Who knew, not only did the Insects give up attacking Huangsha this time, but they also besieged Yongxiang as a disguise. The enormous change and contrast caught everyone off guard, causing the people to be at a loss. Ou Yangming had unknowingly clenched his fists tightly. He closed his eyes and asked, “How’s the situation there?”

“I suppose it’s anything but rea.s.suring.” Wu Hanning was rather hesitant. She did not want to trigger Ou Yangming, but she dared not keep it a secret from him. “According to what I heard, a spirit insect had shown up once and attacked one of the walls. Luckily, the Supreme Great Ancestors in the city risked their lives and fought. Besides, the pieces of Skill Equipment that you made played a huge role in turning the tide, so the Insects didn’t get to destroy the city.”

“Heh, Changlong City and Yongxiang City are different. They’ve been facing a different enemy in the past generations. The city might be able to fend off walking beasts, but it might not be able to guard against the Insects!”

It was worth noting that the Beasts and the Insects attacked dissimilarly. Judging from the latter’s vicious tricks, the Humans would suffer great losses if they were not prepared.

Nonetheless, Wu Hanning noted coldly, “Brother Ou, you mustn’t forget that Changlong City has always been the Beasts’ territory. Even if the spirit insects appeared there, they can’t gather as much power as they can here.”

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned, but he was soon a little relieved. He nodded and thanked the princess, “Thank you.”

Following that, he turned and left.

Wu Hanning flashed and followed behind him. “Where are you going”

“I’ll go notify the others, then I’ll head back to the city first. I suppose the Insects changed their usual attack because of me, so I must settle this issue,” Ou Yangming responded without any hesitation.

“Brother Ou, I know you’re amazing, but you shouldn’t be so arrogant. You can’t make yourself responsible for something that didn’t happen because of you in the first place.” Wu Hanning scoffed.

Without stopping, Ou Yangming laughed and explained, “Your Highness, I’m only a little human, so I obviously can’t attract the spirit insects’ attention. However, with the king kong and goshawk by my side now, I’ve become more noticeable.”

Wu Hanning fell silent. Sure enough, Ou Yangming could not have caused the Insects to change, but he could now that he had the king kong and the goshawk.

Together they became a force that could overturn the Humans’ overall power.

Yongxiang City’s important figures were a.s.sembled after half an over. Apart from them, the powerhouses from the capital joined as well.

When Ou Yangming cut to the chase and told everyone the news, they looked at each other as if they had just seen a ghost.

The Insects were known for hiding in the dark, lurking around, and sneak attacks. In terms of combat power, the Beasts and the Insects could simply suppress them. Nevertheless, the Insects’ consciousness of the war had surpa.s.sed everyone’s expectations.

For a certain period, the people were dumbfounded by the absurdity as though their opponent had become a strange race.

Ou Yangming looked at the people and said, “Her Highness’s intelligence mustn’t be doubted at all. Moreover, judging from the Insects’ setup here and their tricks, I’m sure it’s true. I’ve decided to return to Changlong County with the goshawk first. As for Multi-armed King Kong, it’ll run back on its own and try to hurry back before the Insects launch their final attack. If the king kong goes back in time, we’ll have a high chance of victory.”

OV

Changlong County had always been the Beasts’ territory. If the king kong returned, it could definitely get rid of the Insects.

Despite that, in terms of speed for a long distance, n.o.body could be faster than the goshawk.

“Master Ou, it’ll be too risky for you to go alone. How about we hurry back to the city too? We might not be as formidable as your two spirit beasts, but we can at least help to stop the Insects,” Woo Lejia suggested.

He was being extremely humble. Honestly, the overall military power of 50 fully-armed Supreme Great Ancestors was certainly greater than what he claimed.

Even if they were up against a high-rank spirit beast like Multi-armed King Kong, they could pressure it as well.

While the Insects had spirit beasts too, they would have to pay a huge price to defeat so many human powerhouses. Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. “Brother Woo, I appreciate it, but you’ll be too slow.”

Woo Lejia was startled. He looked at Chen Yixian and the others, who were also speechless.

As compared to the goshawk, not to mention themselves, even Multi-armed King Kong was considered inferior.

They could tell that Ou Yangming had made up his mind, and he would not waver at all.

“Lil’ Ming, I’ll go back with you!” Ni Yinghong stood out and expressed, “I’m a part of Changlong County too, so I mustn’t sit by idly.”

“Elder Brother, me too!” Jiang Jiumei went around Qinmiao Daoren and walked toward Ou Yangming
