195 Forward! (1/2)
Krune and Feifei were using a roundabout route, so it took them some time longer to arrived at the borders of the central region of the Dimensional Realm. So far, they had also fought a few demon beasts, but nothing that they couldn't deal with. If anything, they had it quite easy until now.
But it seemed like their luck went just this far. Finally, they poked a hornet's nest and were swarmed by a large number of three-horned beetles! Those beetles weren't strong individually, with just a few of then barely reaching the late stages of the Foundation Establishment and even less at the middle stage. But the number alone wasn't something that the two of them could deal with anytime soon.
”There are too many of them! If we get surrounded, things might get really complicated.”
Feifei used a wide range of fire attacks to keep delaying the swarm. In contrast, Krune targeted the higher cultivation ones with Tribulation Thunder Lines.
”Can you find the queen? As long as we deal with her, the swarm will disperse.”
Krune then asked.
”Do you know how she looks like?”
Feifei nodded.
”She isn't much different from the normal ones, but she should have red eyes instead of black ones. Also, her cultivation is most likely in the Core Formation Realm. Otherwise, she wouldn't be accepted by the other beetles and changed into a queen.”
Krune nodded and spread his Divine Sense. But there was a problem. Although Krune's Divine Sense was powerful due to his soul, there were still too many beetles. To make his Divine Sense pass through that mass of beetles and pinpoint a particular one in the middle of so many is very hard even for him.
”They are too packed, we need to get them to spread so that I can see better.”
Feifei nodded and then said.
”In that case, be ready to use some strong attacks in the points that I will tell you.”
Feifei couldn't use her Destiny Core to calculate the movements of so many beetles at the same time. However, she could still find the results that a few attacks would cause to the surroundings. That way, she focused on calculating where the attack would make the beetles spread the most. Of course, such a thing was also very hard to do since she was running and attacking at the same time.
After some time passed, Feifei started to sweat. Still, she kept trying to calculate the best positions. Krune decided that if things got out of control, he would immediately turn back to wisp form and charge out with Feifei using his Tribulation Lightning. Suddenly, Feifei's eyes lit up!
”Found it!”
Feifei then immediately sent the positions and time to Krune through a Divine Sense message. Krune nodded and waited for the moment that Feifei mentioned.
”Wait, wait... Now!”
All 13 blades shot in the directions predicted by Feifei and killed everything in the way. Once they arrived at the points selected by her, they all exploded into gigantic purple fireballs covered by purple lightning! Right after that, it seemed like a chain reaction happened, which made the beetles spread everywhere for a short while.
Feifei had selected those places because those explosions would momentarily cut the queen's connection with the swarm. That was the reason why the beetles went out of control for a short amount of time. But that was enough for Krune! With his Divine Sense power, he was finally able to pinpoint that specific red-eyed beetle. Sure enough, he could feel that that beetle was in the Core Formation Realm 2nd stage!
Krune showed a smile and said.
”Found you!”
The beetle queen obviously already had sentience. So the moment that Krune looked at her, she understood that things were not good. The queen tried to control the nearby beetles to create a living shield around her body, but that was too late!
From above, the power of the Tribulation Lightning was already gathered, just waiting for the order to come down.
”Heaven's Fall!”
