Chapter 460 - The Insects Attack The City (2/2)
‘The Insects have really gone through a lot of trouble and paid a huge price to transport the clouds and mist into this realm.
‘Hmph, but since I’m here, the Supreme Insect’s effort will all be in vain,’ the little bird thought.
The little bird’s intense flame continued to burn, causing the yellow clouds and mist to change color. It appeared as though they became the fire’s fuel, allowing the fire to burn brighter than before.
Subsequently, the little red bird gathered its energy as it was ready to face the Venerable Insect’s attack at any time. As long as it bullied the weak, a single attack would stimulate the unique bloodline in its body. By then, even if the little bird’s clan members were far in the other realm, they could sense the change here.
Following that, it would be the end of the Venerable Insect and its scheme.
Having said that, the little red bird could not help but become dubious as it burned its fire.
‘Why hasn’t the hidden Venerable Insect shown up yet?’
Outside Changlong City, two long lizards waited far away. They had four long limbs each, which was two more than a half-spirit beast.
They looked into the distance at the moment and had a grave look on their faces.
“It’s activated.”
“Yes, it’s activated.”
“We paid such a tremendous price to bring the poisonous miasma into this realm just so we can trap that fella. Isn’t it quite wasteful?”
“Hehe, as compared to what we’re about to do, this isn’t wasteful at all.”
“You’re right. After all, that fella’s so honorable that even the Venerable Ones dared not meet it face to face.
The two lizards looked at each other. When they thought about the little red bird, which was trapped in the yellow clouds and mist, they could not help but shudder with fear.
In actuality, the yellow clouds were only set up to capture Ou Yangming and the goshawk as bait; the one that lizards wanted to go against or trap was the little red bird. The poisonous miasma would not be able to trap the bird forever, but it could if the lizards were given enough time.
“They’re already out, aren’t they?”
“Yes, our kinds along the way have reported that they’re coming in our direction.” “Very well. This determines if we’ll make or break. If we succeed, the Venerable One will remember us for sure.”
“Hehe, boys, it’s time to come out. There are countless humans in the city so eat them to nourish the Insects. The Venerable One is invincible…”
A strange voice echoed outside the city. Consequently, the ground began to move as insects of different sizes surfaced and crawled toward the city.
Almost at the same time, the ground in some corners in the city loosened as some smaller and less threatening insects swarmed out to launch suicidal attacks at the people nearby.
Changlong City became chaotic in a split second; numerous screams and shouts filled the air as the people were plunged into extreme sufferings.
Several great ancestors atop the wall looked at each other anxiously.
Changlong County had always been the front line against the Beasts, but the threat from the Insects was very different.
In Huangsha and Yongxiang, even if there were innumerable insects outside the cities, various defensive methods were adopted in the cities. As such, not a single insect could enter the cities before they were attacked. On the contrary, there were already insects inside and outside Changlong City. While the insects inside the city were so weak that they were vulnerable, they were not against military powerhouses, but common folks.
“Look…”
Ni Jingshen suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted. When everybody looked, they noticed two ma.s.sive figures over there. They were not as
gigantic as Multi-armed King Kong, but their builds were quite rare among the Insects.
“Spirit beasts,” Elder Universe uttered word by word.
Putting aside the insects’ builds, the immense pressures from them were enough to make the people feel hopeless.
“Two-there are two spirit beasts!” Ni Jingshen and the others turned pale, so much so that there was no redness on their faces.
“Why? Why did the Insects come to attack us? Why are there two spirit beasts?”
Everyone else exchanged glances and saw looks of despair from each other.
However, they did not know that the goshawk had carried Ou Yangming and Big Yellow away from the frightening yellow poisonous miasma.
Protected by the strong wind around the goshawk, the young fellow and the big yellow dog did not inhale any poison gas. The goshawk shrieked proudly, then it continued flying forward according to Ou Yangming’s instruction. Ou Yangming stood proudly on the goshawk’s back as he looked ahead. His heart somehow began to race as if something unimaginable was waiting for him…
