The insects just kept coming. An army of demon leeches had already crawled onto Baxia’s body after some contact with Qiu Chi. They immediately headed toward the unprotected spots, as if they already knew where Baxia’s weak points were.

“Brother Fan, the Parasitic Steaming Locusts are circling above us!” Zhang Xiaohou pointed out.

More parasites had appeared from Qiu Chi’s body as Baxia kept knocking it away from the bridge. The parasites consisted of the demon leeches and the Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers. The parasitic grasshoppers were like flies circling a huge corpse, as they flew in groups around Qiu Chi.

They were different from the demon leeches that were continuously falling onto Baxia’s body. These parasitic grasshoppers would let the demon leeches scout the area ahead first. Whenever the demon leeches located a weak point, the parasitic grasshoppers would dive at the spot together, like they had picked up the scent of some rotting flesh!

As a matter of fact, these parasitic grasshoppers were the digestive system in Qiu Chi’s stomach. Humans normally relied on the gastric juices in their stomach to digest the food they ate, but Qiu Chi did not have gastric acid in its stomach. It relied on the heat of these Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers to melt the food. Qiu Chi would obtain the nutrients and energy it needed, and the rest was split among the burning locusts!

Therefore, these Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers were just as horrifying as the demon leeches. As parasitic creatures, their biggest strength was their ability to disintegrate everything, be it flesh, skin, bones, or other strange objects!

“I’ll deal with those in the sky. Can you two handle the demon leeches?” Mo Fan asked Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan.

“How are you going to fight those in the sky when you can’t fly?” Zhao Manyan had to ask.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take them all out regardless of their numbers!” Mo Fan declared.

As soon as Mo Fan finished his sentence, Baxia once again secured the upper hand in another exchange of brute force. It used the elbow of its front limbs and shattered the sharp bones on Qiu Chi’s back. The creature let out a painful cry as its black bones were broken to pieces. It was very likely that the bones connected to them inside its body had fractured too!

Qiu Chi was knocked further back. They were now over three kilometers away from the bridge. They no longer posed an immediate threat to the people being evacuated across the bridge.

Qiu Chi let out a furious roar. The Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers that were still looking for an opportunity to strike ran out of patience. They began diving at Baxia, carrying out a kamikaze attack with the special heat their bodies contained. They were using the same move as the demon leeches!

These Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers were the gastric juices in Qiu Chi’s body. If it was only one or two of them, they could not have left leave a single wound on Baxia’s body. However, when thousands of them were attacking the same spot, they could easily burn through Baxia’s skin!

Baxia’s body was mostly protected by his shell. He would normally block eighty percent of the damage when fighting a creature like Qiu Chi, but the Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers were like fleas to him. His shell was not so effective against them!

“Nice, I like it when they bundle up!” Mo Fan saw the Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers’ plan to carry out a suicide attack.

The flames of the Ardent Sunset erupted on his palms. He waited for the right moment!

“Old Zhao, I won’t hurt Baxia if I set his back on fire, right?” Mo Fan asked after he suddenly thought of something.
