Chapter 281 Energy-Eating Locusts—The Nemesis of Evil Spirits

The soldier who rushed to the front was the first to be knocked down. His eyes blurred and his whole body lost balance. He fell on his back with a bang, and his heart immediately felt a sharp pain! He was shocked and punched the head of the swift insect. The hideous head exploded like a watermelon, and the corpse lay powerlessly on him.

The soldier pushed the corpse away, and the pain in his chest came like a tide. He slapped the ground with one hand, and his whole body immediately bounced upwards. But at this moment, two swift insects suddenly drilled out from the ground under him, one bit his arm, and the other bit his waist, and actually pulled his body back to the ground after it bounced into the air!

"Roar!" The pain in his body could not stop the ominous feeling in his heart. The warrior shook his whole body, causing the two swift insects to retreat a step. He took the opportunity to stand up again, but a swift insect suddenly fell from the sky and pressed on him again. Countless swift insects drilled out from the ground around him, and more than a dozen swift insects surrounded him...

The swift insects drilled out of the ground from a hundred meters in front of the hydralisk and spread all the way to the feet of the sprinting demon warriors. To the demon warriors, it seemed as if the entire ground was covered with insects. Ants bite elephants to death. Seeing that the situation was not good, the demon warriors flew frantically towards the sky, hoping to avoid the demons crawling out of the ground, but the hydralisks that they had forgotten for a short time had no intention of sparing them. They flew into the air and became the best targets for the hydralisks. The hydralisks liked to hit moving targets the most, thinking that such attacks would give them a sense of accomplishment!

About a thousand soldiers landed, and more than a hundred of them were knocked down by ground thorn crawlers before they approached the hydralisks, and more than two hundred were swallowed by swift worms. The remaining six hundred rushed to throw knives in the air, and more than a hundred were shot and exploded by the hydralisks!

As the thousand soldiers landed on the ground, the battle in the air began. The blade-armed dragons and the demon warriors in the front row fought back and forth, and it was very lively. The blades became insects, and the demon spells drew straight lines and arcs in the sky.

The combat effectiveness of the demon warriors was far higher than that of the fighting insect swarms. In addition, the insect swarms launched a charge in a dense formation. Often, with one skill, more than a dozen or even dozens of blade-armed dragons or flying snakes would fall from the sky.

Although the attacks fired by the insect swarms were as dense as raindrops, due to their low attack power, they did not cause much damage to the demon warriors who specialized in cooperating and coordinating defense.

The demon warriors were also shocked by the miraculous effect of the range attack. They all took out their best range spells, offensive and weakening. The whole sky suddenly became dark clouds. A large number of ghosts and resentful souls flew out of the dark clouds with a whistle, passing through the bodies of the insects, taking their lives and returning to the clouds.

The bodies of the knife-armed dragons in the sky fell like raindrops.

Taking this opportunity, the warriors in the sky actually launched an attack on the insect swarm on the ground, as if to help their fellow disciples on the ground. Unfortunately, the ground was far less vast than the sky. Their spells whistled from the sky, and the swift insects could dodge in time. Even if they could not dodge in time, they could sneak into the ground. This move often had a miraculous effect and could resist many spell attacks.

However, the demon warriors in the sky did not have too much time to be rampant. Just as the dark wind and dark clouds helped each other to do evil, huge flying insects separated from the team of the knife-armed dragon and the flying snake. In fact, the knife-armed dragon and the flying snake were already big, but compared with this big guy, they still felt a little bit dwarfed.

In the cognition of life in Huangquan Continent, the size and strength of creatures are in direct proportion, so these behemoths attracted the eyes of many warriors as soon as they appeared.

And the combat effectiveness of these big guys did not disappoint them.

These big guys are like a beehive. Locusts as big as wolfhounds keep flying out of their bodies, and soon they form a scale, completely covering their bodies. What is strange is that wherever these locusts pass, the dark power and spells they release disappear without a trace.

"What kind of monsters are these? Are they devouring my dark heaven?"

"Why is it endless? How many monsters are we going to face?"

"God of Heaven, be careful, these swarms of locusts can devour our spells!"

A soldier's shout attracted everyone's attention. Under his reminder, many people immediately noticed that the locusts that emerged from the behemoth were actually happily devouring the energy around them. The performance of a locust may not be conspicuous, but hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of locusts gathered together. Wherever they passed, they were like erasers, ruthlessly clearing all the graffiti of spells in the sky!

However, this is not the most terrifying thing. For those spell casters, spell resistance is not a mysterious and rare thing. In fact, many demon cultivators will practice some spell neutralization and spell cracking against immortal cultivators, but the real terrifying thing is that these locusts devoured the power of the caster and split their bodies into two, becoming two heads!

Then, two heads became four heads, and four heads became eight heads!

Throughout the sky, the number of locusts increased exponentially due to the attacks of the demon cultivators, so much so that the space occupied by the Blade-Arm Dragon and the Flying Snake was filled with locusts!

"Stop casting spells, damn it, stop casting spells!" A demon warrior of Zhang Lao's level was so frightened when he saw this scene. Before the locusts attacked the demon warriors, no one knew how strong they were. However, ants can kill elephants. If they really encountered a migrating ant colony, the elephant would only end up with a white bone in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, even if the elder did not give an order, many demon warriors tacitly stopped casting large-scale spells. The sky suddenly became bleak all day long, and only two or three thousand demon warriors were left to carry out physical attacks with their magic weapons.

The Zerg likes this effect too much!

Although there are many sects in the immortal and demon civilization that specialize in physical cultivation and aim to make the flesh holy, most of them still like to rely on immortal power or magic energy to attack. The demons who do not use magic energy are no different from tigers with teeth pulled out - although the tiger can still tear the prey with its claws, its combat effectiveness has definitely dropped by more than half!

The Zerg will not show mercy just because their fighting power has dropped! The Hydralisks emerged from the ground, raised their heads and started the cruelest revenge with sharp thorns one after another. The Blade Arm Dragon and the Flying Snake also swooped down from the locusts and rushed into the demon warriors. This time they learned their lesson and attacked in a scattered manner, causing the demon warriors to immediately fall into the quagmire.

Because of special reasons at home, I haven't finished writing recently, and there are not many manuscripts left. So I can only write 4,000 words a day for the past three or four days. At most, I will resume the normal update of 6,000 words in four days. Thank you for your support. The Swiftworm will work hard to update and give you a wonderful story!
