1382 The Mysterious Fragmen (1/2)
Chapter 1382 - The Mysterious Fragment
”The Locustmoth Race!?” Xin Wuheng's face twisted.
The Locustmoth Race was the 10th ranked race among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races - a forbidden race that was the ancestor of all insect races of the Fan Universe. It was known as the Ancestor of All Insects!
In terms of fighting power, the Locustmoth Race could not compare to the 9th ranked Destruction Dragon Race, but in terms of sheer terror, it definitely exceeded the Destruction Dragon Race.
In a sea of insects, there was only one true member of the Locustmoth Race; the Locustmoth Mother. As the Ancestor of All Insects, this race gave birth to countless other insects. These descendants had extremely thin bloodlines, and though they could not compare to the true Locustmoth Race, they still had various strange abilities.
Some descendants were capable of devouring metal and easily overturning a complex of buildings. Others could swallow ice or fire, some were incredibly sturdy, others so tiny that they were almost invisible to the naked eye, and some of them could devour souls. These descendants were called ”Moth Larvae,” and they formed the terrifying insect sea army.
There was definitely one member of the Locustmoth Race inside this sea of insects - the legendary Locustmoth Mother.
Bzzzzz!
The uncountable Moth Larvae surged toward the Giant God Race members in vast waves. These small insects were all pitch-black, their shells were covered in bizarre patterns, and their mouths were round and circled with countless teeth. They seemed repulsive and dreadful.
”Let's go! The Locustmoth Race shows extreme hostility to all other races!” Ancient God Resplendence immediately said.
There was a rumor in the Chixing Zone that a God Lord, when exploring some ruins, had unintentionally offended the Locustmoth Race. Afterward, a sea of insects had chased that God Lord for a thousand years before finally devouring them.
Everyone immediately prepared to retreat. Just as expected, when the sea of insects saw the group, it immediately began to exude enormous killing intent.
Buzz! Bzzz!
At this moment, a soul ripple pulsed out from the center of the insect sea. A moment later, the insect sea divided in two. One part continued forward while the other part chased after the Giant God Race team.
”Not good! We've caught their attention!” Ancient God Sundermount was flabbergasted.
Bzzzzz!
The dense and dreadful sea of insects, seething with killing intent, charged at the Giant God Race team. ”Annihilating Flower Palm!” Ancient God Resplendence thrust out a palm.
Boom!
A palm of Wind energy sliced into the sea of insects but quickly vanished.
”An individual insect doesn't have a very high level of cultivation, but when they're joined together, they have the strange ability to decay and rot!” Zhao Feng had observed the scene just now through his left eye.
The majority of these insects ranged from Rank One to Rank Four, but they were able to block an attack from someone many ranks above their own, a Rank Nine Ancient God. This was because the insects had formidable defenses and small sizes, so each of them individually took less damage.
Ancient God Resplendence's palm was shared between several million insects, causing it to be blocked. Even if there were losses, they would be insignificant for this insect sea.
The top ten ancient races really aren't simple! Zhao Feng internally sighed.
Meow!
At this moment, the little thieving cat emerged from the interspatial dimension and meowed at the insect sea. At this moment, its aura changed from a complicated mixture of energies to a single one.
If one sensed carefully, one would find that the bloodline energy exuded by the little thieving cat was extremely similar to the energy exuded by the insect sea.
Bzzzzz!
The insect sea attacking the Giant God Race team instantly stopped in confusion. The part of the insect sea that was heading off into the distance also stopped. Not long afterward, a slightly larger insect with violet-gold patterns on its back emerged from the countless insects.
When this insect emerged, even the Giant God Race members felt their blood tremble as they sensed that immense and boundless pressure. It was as if this small mother insect was a vast and ancient mountain.
Zhao Feng also sensed a ripple from the Origin of his God's Spiritual Eye, and he was rather astounded.
”The mother insect!” The Giant God Race members were all surprised.
Only this insect with violet-gold patterns was a true member of the Locustmoth Race. The rest of the insects were its descendants and slaves.
Meow!
The little thieving cat began to communicate with the mother insect. The little thieving cat was explaining that they were not enemies and meant no harm. In addition, it asked why the mother insect was in such a hurry.
When the insect sea discovered Zhao Feng and the others, it should have attacked with the entire swarm, but it divided into two, with the mother insect leading one batch away. There had to be a reason for this.
Buzz!
The mother insect let out a sharp buzz. The insect sea that was pursuing Zhao Feng and the others immediately withdrew. Soon after, that dreadful insect sea flew away.
”This... Brother Cat, what did you do just now that made the insect sea stop attacking us?” Ancient God Sundermount had an amazed look on his face, and he was filled with admiration for the little thieving cat
Meow!
The little thieving cat began to gesture, conveying that this insect sea was headed toward a major treasure ground of this dimension.
This explanation had everyone shocked. With the power of that insect sea, even two half-step God Lords would only be able to flee. And how could any sort of treasure ground that tempted this insect sea contain anything ordinary?
But those insects were clearly still rather hostile to them. If they followed, they might provoke the insect sea. Moreover, if they followed, they would essentially be competing for treasure with the insect sea, and making an enemy of this dreadful insect sea was an extremely irrational decision. Afterward, they would be endlessly pursued by it.
Meow!
The little thieving cat began to gesture again. Its meaning was that this mother insect did not have a very high cultivation level. It was roughly around peak Rank Nine. With Xin Wuheng's cultivation and the farsight ability of Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye, they could follow the insect sea and still not be discovered. When the time came, they could act according to the situation.
