Chapter 258

He opened the jar, and from within that black opening, a crowd of little insects flew out .

Those flying insects were just the size of a housefly . They had a pair of translucent wings as well as an extremely sinister looking pincer on their mouths .

Decorative designs covered their bodies . Their pincers were covered in a faint green liquid that emitted an unpleasant stink that caused people to feel a chill .

“Corpse Devouring Insects!”

Tu Fang’s expression changed . He recognized those little things to be terrifying poisonous insects .

They were specialized in eating the flesh of corpses in order to grow . They reproduced shockingly quickly, and the speed at which they grew was especially chilling .

Their rate of growth depended on their feed . They weren’t picky about their food . Any corpse was alright with them, whether it was human or beast . The more rotted the corpse was, the more they liked it .

Due to being specialized in eating a corpse’s flesh, their pincers all contained an intense corpse poison . Normally, that poison would let them ingest rotting flesh easier .

But if a living person were to be bit by one, then even if it was a Tendon Transformation expert, they would still be unable to endure it . That kind of poison had no antidote .

As soon as you were bit by a Devouring Corpse Insect, their corpse poison would immediately enter your body . That poison was different from ordinary poisons . It didn’t target people’s nerves, nor did it target a person’s organs . Instead, it directly rotted your flesh .

Once you were bit, your body would immediately rot away, and in just a couple breaths, you would become a true rotting corpse .

When Corpse Devouring Insects didn’t have any rotting flesh to eat, they could just create their own rotting corpses from their poison . So their poison was exceptionally terrifying .

The most terrifying aspect of them was that although their bodies weren’t powerful, their pincers were as hard as steel and could easily cut open a person’s flesh .

If it was an ordinary Corpse Devouring Insect, Tu Fang wouldn’t be this worried . Tendon Transformation experts were more than capable of using the astral wind released by their weapons to crush them to pieces before they approached .

But the ones this Favored had just released were not ordinary . There were three different lines on their bodies, meaning they had advanced three times .

People who raised poisonous insects usually confined many of them all together, letting them ma.s.sacre each other . Within the thousands and thousands of insects, only one king would be born .

After killing enough of its fellows, that king poisonous insect would gain a faint line on top of it .

Then if thousands of one-line poisonous insects were confined again, letting them ma.s.sacre each other, the last poisonous insect remaining would have two lines .

As for this Favored’s insects, they had three lines . In other words, they were kings amongst kings amongst poisonous insects .

Not only were they defensively strong, but their attacking strength was even sharper . Furthermore, over ten thousand of those poisonous king insects had come out of his jar .

“Hahaha, brat, you’ve completely p.i.s.sed me off now . I’ll let you taste the terror of ten thousand poisonous insects biting your body!” That Favored crazily laughed . However, inside, he was incredibly pained . Those poisonous insects were incredibly precious to him .

His family had raised them for hundreds of years only to make such a limited stock . It was his most powerful trump card . It was because of this trump card that other Favored were extremely apprehensive towards him .

These poisonous insects’ major weakness was that it was extremely taxing to raise them . That was because once they reached their king level, they had essentially reached their peaks . And along with that, the toxicity in their bodies also reached a peak . Once they released their poison, it would require many years for that toxicity to replenish .

Most annoying of all, his Spiritual Strength wasn’t strong enough . He could only point out a target for them to attack . However, before they completely devoured that target, they would refuse to return . And so they would all just foolishly release all their toxicity as soon as they were released .

But there was also no way around that . Long Chen’s strength was too abnormal, and his saber was practically unblockable . Each slash of his saber was heavier than a mountain .

He could only resign himself to being unlucky . After he killed Long Chen, he would definitely receive a reward from Gui Yan . If that reward included a couple powerful corpses, he wouldn’t have lost out too badly .

“Die!” That Favored roared and crushed a seal . Those ten thousand Corpse Devouring Insects all flew straight towards Long Chen .

No matter how brave Long Chen felt himself to be, he still felt a chill in the face of this many sinister Corpse Devouring Insects .

He hastily retreated, but he suddenly felt his arms go numb . Because he hadn’t summoned his divine ring while using his heavy saber, he had overexerted his physical body, making his arms numb .

Hastily putting Devil Decapitator back into his spatial ring, Long Chen quickly retreated . The sky was now filled with Corpse Devouring Insects .

He punched out, releasing a powerful astral wind that collided with this Corpse Devouring Insect . Back when he had just advanced to the thirteenth Heavenstage of Blood Condensation, the wind of his fist had been more than capable of crus.h.i.+ng rock .

However, these little insects were only sent flying back for a moment before flying back as if nothing had happened .

Long Chen felt as if his fist had struck only cotton . He was unable to use any strength, and he could only retreat .

“Hahaha, it’s useless . My Corpse Devouring Insect Kings were chosen out of millions of ordinary Corpse Devouring Insects! Just wait for your death!” That Favored had been chased by Long Chen for a long time, so he was absolutely delighted to see the tables reversed .
