"Since the Queen-level Insect Race hiding in the shadows won’t come out, let’s devise a plan to force it out."
Lu Zixun’s gaze fell on the tunneling insect, and an idea surfaced in his mind.
He stealthily approached the tunneling insect and took out the dagger from the System Space that he had won in a previous lottery.
A dagger capable of killing a grade-A existence should have no problem injuring a grade-C tunneling insect.
The tunneling insect, leisurely observing Xiong Kang entangled by three insects in the sky, showed a hint of disdain in its eyes.
Suddenly, the tunneling insect felt a jolt of pain as the fixed dagger sliced through its skin, causing blood to spill all over the ground.
"Ding—Detecting incoming Killing Intent Value +10000 from Wei Dong."
The moment the System Prompt Sound rang, Lu Zixun sensed a wave of Blood Energy sweep over him and immediately curled up, holding his breath and concentrating.
Unaware of his attacker, Wei Dong furrowed his brows and walked out from the group transporting the tunneling insect, checking its wounds.
Seeing Wei Dong, who noticed the wounds weren’t very severe, breathed a sigh of relief and covered the wound with his palm, Blood Energy surged and began healing the injury.
That feeling of being watched constantly hovered in Lu Zixun’s mind as he floated in the air, his thoughts about Wei Dong endlessly turning.
There was good news and bad news now.
The good news was that they had located the last Queen-level guarding the tunneling insect, just waiting for an opportunity when it was unguarded, or by diverting its attention using Xiong Kang to strike.
To uncover this hidden enemy, Lu Zixun’s risky strategy had undoubtedly stirred up trouble.
At this moment, Wei Dong must have been extremely vigilant.
Looking up at Xiong Kang in the sky, not sure whether he had become familiar with the Insect Clan’s tactics or something else.
Now, facing the frantic onslaught of three insects, Xiong Kang was able to parry and exchange blows evenly.
With Xiong Kang showing such capability, Lu Zixun felt he shouldn’t lag behind.
When he turned his head again, Wei Dong had once again vanished from sight. Lu Zixun, watching the tunneling insect, narrowed his eyes.
To kill a grade-C insect protected by Queen-level, it wasn’t necessary to kill Wei Dong; other measures could be taken.
In the air, Spiritual Energy and Blood Energy collided again, causing ripples in the sky.
At the same time, Lu Zixun silently seized a great opportunity.
Under the Invisibility Cloak, a very fine sword appeared in the pads of his paws.
The transparent and immaculate appearance of the little sword made it look exceptionally beautiful.
Yet within this beauty, it carried a massive aura of Spiritual Energy.
Upon closer inspection, the core of the little sword was composed of a flame.
Floating, Lu Zixun approached the head of the tunneling insect and raised his paw.
Spiritual Fire surged from the mark between his eyebrows, fiercely smashing toward the direction of Wei Dong.
The sudden appearance of Lu Zixun caused quite a stir.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Zixun sent the crystal-clear little sword into the mouthpiece of the tunneling insect.
Controlled by Magnetic Field Control, the levitation speed instantly peaked.
Seeing Lu Zixun floating upward, Xiong Kang unleashed a sweeping Sword Qi that pushed back the three insects and raced toward him with Sword Control to support Lu Zixun.
Glancing up gloomily at Lu Zixun, Wei Dong, who was smashed in the chest by Spiritual Fire and bleeding profusely, did not pursue Lu Zixun.
Instead, he turned and began to inspect the body of the tunneling insect.
Wei Dong had barely approached the tunneling insect when its ferocious, ugly face contorted in pain, and it began to roll violently.
The small sword Lu Zixun had prepared specifically for the tunneling insect exploded inside its body.
Covered in blood and flesh, Wei Dong clenched his fists in rage and howled at the sky, "Chase!"
At this moment, Lu Zixun, back on Xiong Kang’s shoulder, looked at his handiwork and nodded in satisfaction, "Kang Ning, do you think my move was cool?"
Half-heartedly responding, Xiong Kang quickly turned to flee.
Before Wei Dong finished speaking, the insects, as if on a suicide mission, rushed towards the flying sword.
Xiong Kang also saw dozens of the Insect Clan constructing a ladder, preparing to use their numbers to pull him down from the flying sword.
If he didn’t flee now and waited for the entire swarm to surround them, even with their extraordinary capabilities, Xiong Kang and Lu Zixun would face certain death today.
So, he sped toward Lingchuan City.
Glancing back inadvertently, Lu Zixun was stunned by the four red lights following closely behind.
Are these insects that fast?
As several of the Insect Clan drew closer, Lu Zixun thought for a moment, pulled out a Defensive Talisman from his storage, and slapped one on both himself and Xiong Kang.
Then, a dense array of Attack Talismans appeared on Lu Zixun’s paws.
Looking at the red lights behind him, he chuckled and threw the talismans toward them like they were worthless.
The exploding talismans decorated the sky with several red blossoms, as beautiful as celebratory fireworks.
The insect clan, their speed hindered by the talisman attack, looked at each other and then dispersed in all directions to continue the pursuit.
But they had underestimated the number of talismans Lu Zixun had.
Originally, Lin Siyin had given him a pile of talismans, stored and unused until today.
Seeing Xiong Kang about to enter the range of Lingchuan City, Wei Dong gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
As the four red lights suddenly increased speed, Lu Zixun, ready to use another talisman, realized an awkward problem—he had run out.
"Did I throw them too fiercely?"
Scratching his head with his paw, Lu Zixun sighed.
Dozens of ice cones floated behind Lu Zixun and suddenly lunged at the Insect Clan.
As Wei Dong roared, the ice cones flying midway suddenly exploded, turning into ice chips and falling to the ground.
"It can’t be helped."
Turning to look at Xiong Kang, Lu Zixun said, "They’re getting faster. How long until we reach Lingchuan City?"
Glancing behind him with the corner of his eye, Xiong Kang frowned, unsheathed seven flying swords, and launched an attack.
Briefly holding off the relentless pursuit of the Insect Clan, "We need at least five more minutes. Without Elder Wang’s Godspeed Talisman, those who can fly are all about the same speed."
Feeling the harsh wind coming from behind, and turning to look, Lu Zixun excitedly patted Xiong Kang’s shoulder, "Dodge, dodge! The blood-colored spear is coming."
Xiong Kang, also sensing the fierce killing intent, exerted force under his feet, and the Mother-child Flying Sword did a 360-degree spin in the air, allowing the Blood-colored Spear to pass over the sword’s spine.
Clutching tightly to Xiong Kang’s combat uniform with his paws, fearing being thrown off,
When he squinted, he saw red lines hovering around the flying sword, frowned, and shouted, "Burning·Fierce Flame!"
