Chapter 742 Snatching Food from the Insects!
Chapter 742 Snatching Food from the Insects!
Han Li watched helplessly as the huge crack spread across the light screen, and his heart sank.
He instinctively wanted to use his escape technique to flee the place, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shi Hao and the others still desperately picking divine fruits in the forest.
There are still several sacred trees there with fruit that haven't been picked yet.
If they retreat now, all the hard-won fruits of their labor will be wasted.
"Let's give it our all!"
Han Li gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes.
He formed hand seals, controlling the already broken Heavenly Demon Puppets, and charged towards the Black God Worm at the Heavenly God Realm without regard for anything else.
More than a hundred celestial demon puppets rushed towards the enormous creature, like moths to a flame.
"burst!"
Han Li let out a low shout, instantly detonating the self-destruct runes within all the Heavenly Demon Puppets.
"—Boom!!!"
A deafening roar instantly resounded throughout the entire Ten Fiends' lair.
Flames shot into the sky, instantly engulfing the Heavenly God Realm Black God Worm, as well as the countless ordinary Black God Worms surrounding it.
The shockwave from the explosion swept outwards, creating a huge crater in the ground.
Gravel flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.
Many black god insects were shaken off the sky by the shockwave, falling to the ground and convulsing to their deaths.
However, when the smoke cleared, Han Li's expression changed completely.
Because he discovered that the Black God Worm, which was at the Celestial God Realm, was completely unharmed in the explosion.
Not a single crack was left on its jet-black, shiny shell.
More than a hundred Heavenly Demon Puppets self-destructed simultaneously, their power enough to kill a True God Realm expert, yet they couldn't even break through its defenses.
"How...is this possible?"
Han Li's voice was trembling at this moment.
To make matters worse, the loud explosion attracted even more Black God Insects from the vicinity.
From another direction, a swarm of dark insects, like a black cloud, was surging towards them.
Among the swarm of insects was another enormous black shadow, exuding an aura of divine power no weaker than the first one.
Two Heavenly God Realm Black God Insects, along with tens of thousands of ordinary Black God Insects and Ghost Demons, this power was enough to crush a sect leader-level figure.
"Brother Shi Hao, let's go!"
Han Li turned around and shouted loudly at Shi Hao, his voice filled with an unprecedented fear.
At that moment, Shi Hao had just picked the last fruit from the divine tree.
He glanced back at the two Heavenly God Realm Black God Insects, then looked at the swarm of insects still surging in the distance, and quickly made a judgment in his mind.
He was confident that he could challenge opponents of higher levels, but facing two Heavenly God Realm enemies and countless Divine Fire Realm and True God Realm enemies at the same time would be suicidal.
"withdraw!"
Shi Hao made a quick decision and immediately gave everyone the order to retreat.
Then, he spread his Kunpeng wings and, in a burst of golden light, sped directly back in the direction he had come from.
Seeing this, Lin Dong, Luo Feng, and the others also used their escape techniques to run desperately behind Shi Hao.
"—Crack crack crack!!!"
Two Celestial God Realm Black God Insects commanded the swarm to begin the pursuit.
Although the speed of the ordinary Black God Insect is fast, it is still far inferior to the extreme speed of Shi Hao's Kunpeng.
But those two Heavenly God Realm Black God Insects were quite fast!
They flapped their wings, transforming into two streaks of black lightning, relentlessly pursuing Shi Hao and his group, drawing ever closer. "Oh no, they're catching up!"
Lin Dong glanced back and his expression changed drastically.
Shi Hao frantically flapped the wings of the Kunpeng to increase his speed once again.
However, he did not escape alone.
"Everyone hold hands, I'll take you all flying out!"
Shi Hao came to Lin Dong's side and grabbed Lin Dong's arm without hesitation, while Lin Dong also grabbed Han Li's hand.
Han Li was about to pull Qian Renxue away when he saw that Qian Renxue had already handed him the scabbard of the Angelic Holy Sword.
Han Li was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the sword sheath.
Meanwhile.
Qian Renxue also took Qingyi's hand, while Qingyi took Fengwu's hand beside her...
In this way, everyone pulled one person after another, forming a chain. Those who had cultivated the Kunpeng Technique, like Shi Hao, all revealed their Kunpeng wings.
The group simultaneously flapped the wings of the Kunpeng, propelling everyone into the sky. Their flight speed increased dramatically, gradually widening the distance between them and the Black God Worm behind them.
"Faster...faster!"
While keeping an eye on the situation behind him, Han Li gritted his teeth and urged them on.
Shi Hao exerted all his strength to activate the three streams of immortal energy, while the three thousand divine flames burned wildly within his body, providing him with a continuous source of power.
His body creaked under the strain of high-speed flight, as if it might fall apart at any moment.
Although the others also had Kunpeng Wings to accelerate their speed, his Kunpeng Technique was the most advanced among them, so he was exerting the most effort at this moment.
Fortunately, this high consumption did not last long.
After passing through that strange space, Shi Hao and the others finally rushed into the dense fog area at the entrance of the valley.
The black worms following closely behind seemed to be wary of the thick fog. They stopped at the exit, hovering and hissing at the cave entrance, not daring to cross the line.
Shi Hao led the group out of the cave and landed in the valley.
"Thump!"
The moment he landed, Shi Hao immediately let go, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
At this moment, Shi Hao's face was deathly pale, his spiritual power and immortal energy were almost exhausted, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"Brother Shi Hao, are you alright?"
Lin Dong stepped forward to help Shi Hao up and asked with concern.
Shi Hao waved his hand and said weakly, "I'm fine... I just need to rest for a bit."
Luo Feng glanced back at the cave entrance, where the two Heavenly God Realm Black God Insects were still blocking it, staring coldly at them with their blood-red compound eyes.
"They don't come out; there must be some kind of restriction here limiting their range of activity."
Han Li slumped to the ground, looking at his empty storage bag, wincing with heartache.
Two hundred Heavenly Demon Puppets—he had begged Xiao Yan for ages to create these life-saving trump cards, but he never expected them to be completely destroyed today.
However, now was not the time to dwell on gains and losses. He turned to Shi Hao and the others, asking expectantly, "Have you finished picking everything?"
Shi Hao nodded, stood up, and poured out all the divine fruits he had picked.
"We just finished picking the last one. The harvest was pretty good... It's just a pity we didn't uproot those divine trees too. If we could have uprooted them, that would have been even better..."
The others exchanged smiles, then poured out all the divine fruits they had picked, mixing them with Shi Hao's pile of divine fruits.
Looking at the ground piled high with divine fruits, Han Li's previously disappointed mood instantly improved significantly!
