Chapter 269: A Swordsman’s Trump Card?
Translator: 549690339
The White Devil Ants were scattered into several groups, carrying the holy statues into tunnels. These tunnels extended in all directions, and there were many branches. It was obvious that they had planned this for a long time.
Originally, with the Ancient Star Continent’s speed and reaction time, even if the White Devil Ants scattered and fled, he would still be able to catch up.
However, just as he was about to give chase, all kinds of densely packed demons suddenly rushed out of those passages.
Devil Rats, Devil Bats, Devil Bees…Countless low-level demonic creatures gathered into a black cloud and charged towards Gu Xing Zhou with a roar.
He didn’t know what message the ant queen had sent to these demons, but they were willing to risk their lives to attack the Eight Treasures Stronghold.
Box Novel.comGu Xing Zhou’s movement was obstructed. He roared and raised his palm, smashing a large number of demons into meat paste.
However, the number of demonic creatures that were charging at them was simply too great. Even though more than half of them were killed by the
Ancient Star Continent’s palm strike, many of them still managed to pass through the Ancient Star Continent’s blockade and rushed out of the cave like black clouds, sweeping up the sky!
These monsters had obviously been affected by the evolution energy of the mythical realm before, and almost all of them had the ability to fly. The monsters themselves looked strange, and it was normal for demon rats to have wings.
“Screech!”
Jinglan flapped his wings at the first moment, and the wind and thunder danced wildly. The powerful pressure that belonged only to the ruler of the sky instantly suppressed the black clouds. The demons had just rushed out of the cave, but before they could wreak havoc, they were already suppressed to the ground by Jinglan’s terrifying aura, trembling. Most of these demons were only at the level of One-star, and a few were at the level of Two-star. They were completely insignificant in front of Jinglan, who was half a step away from Five-star.
Seeing this, Gu Xing Zhou heaved a sigh of relief. After thanking Jing Lan hastily, he continued to pursue the White Devil Ants who had stolen the holy statue.
However, although the White Devil Ants were not as fast as the Ancient Star Continent, they were the ones who had dug out the underground passage, so they had the geographical advantage.
The Ancient Star Continent had only been delayed by the tide of demonic creatures for a moment before they lost track of the White Devil Ants. Some of the original passages had already collapsed or were blocked by the corpses of the demonic creatures.
A disgusting smell wafted into the air. Gu Xing Zhou frowned.
“It’s a little difficult to catch up…”
However, even though it was difficult to chase after him, Gu Xing Zhou did not hesitate. He transformed into a swan and began to search the passages one by one at high speed.
The Holy Idol must be recovered!
The dazzling colorful streams of light connected into one in the underground cave. Gu Xing Zhou was running at full speed.
The Sacred Mountain Tree also arrived late. It took root in the Eight Treasures Stronghold, and its dense roots pierced through the ground and accurately pierced into the bodies of the demons suppressed by the Jinglan aura.
The life essence of the demons was instantly extracted by the Sacred Mountain Tree. Then, dark red fruits grew rapidly on the branches at a visible speed. “Little Ruo, there are new fruits. Do you want to eat them?”
The Sacred Mountain Tree stretched out a branch towards Ji Ruo. There were already a dozen dark red fruits on it, and each fruit contained the essence of a demonic creature.
These fruits were connected in a bunch, each of them only the size of a thumb. They looked like grapes and emitted a strange sweet smell.
“Thank you, Grandpa Shenmu.” Ji Ruo plucked two blood-red grapes, ate one for himself, and fed one to Luo Qian.
“It’s sour and sweet. It’s delicious.”
The Sacred Mountain Tree laughed and said some terrifying words,”” Hehe, it’s good that you like it. This is my first time bearing this kind of fruit. I didn’t absorb demons in the past. I heard from those little demons that the fruit borne by demons doesn’t taste very good. It tastes worse…
However, after communicating with the human scholars, I tried to make some improvements. From the looks of it, the results seem to be quite good.”
As he spoke, the Sacred Mountain Tree controlled its branches and coiled them into a chair, lifting Ji Ruo up. Strings after strings of new fruits automatically moved in front of Ji Ruo, allowing him to taste them.
“Little Ruo, just stay here with grandpa. With grandpa here, those demons won’t be able to hurt you.”
“Thank you, Grandpa Shenmu.”
Ji Ruo had wanted to help, but the situation didn’t seem to require his help.
The number of monsters outside the border was far more than the number of monsters that rushed out of the Catacombs.
Only low-level demons charged out from the Catacombs, and beyond the border, there were more than just demons…
The number of demons in the beast tide could even be described as vast. Looking at it, the beast tide was really like a tidal wave, surging over. There were at least tens of thousands of demons.
The members of Spiced Spicy Hot Dumpling Group were still helping the villagers move. Without the assistance of the secret realm’s teleportation device, the teleportation gate was maintained by Gu Xing Zhou alone. Every time a villager was moved, a portion of Gu Xing Zhou’s strength would be consumed.
There were nearly a thousand villagers in the Eight Treasures Stronghold, not to mention the fact that Gu Xing Zhou had used the teleportation portal to pull over parts of Jinglan and Shenmu’s bodies…
Even the Ancient Star Continent would not be able to ignore the consumption of teleporting two existences close to five-star.
The size of the portal began to shrink rapidly. In the end, it could only allow two people to pass through at the same time. The size of the portal finally stopped changing. Maintaining a large portal was too exhausting.
The martial artists stationed outside the stockade were already waiting in formation. The number of beasts far exceeded them, but everyone’s expression was unusually determined, as if they had long been prepared to die.
Ji Ruo didn’t look at them. Instead, he ate the fruit while staring at the swordsman in the sky..
