Chapter 215 Wormhole
Half an hour later, the Bixue Sect's resident camp, which had regained a lot of popularity, suddenly became quiet. All the registered disciples and independent cultivators rushed to the Worm Valley ten miles away.
Although no one was left in the resident camp, there was no need to worry about it being occupied by the cultivators of Wanmo Ridge. Xiao Hui was still there. With him, any cultivator from Wanmo Ridge who dared to come would be sending himself to death.
What's more, the insect tide natural disaster swept across the entire Lingxi battlefield, and I'm afraid no sect would have the spare energy to make trouble at this time.
Ten miles away, in the Worm Valley, the battle had already broken out.
Compared with half an hour ago, the number of Zerg in the Worm Valley has increased. The biggest reason why the insect tide is called a natural disaster is that the reproduction and growth speed of the Zerg is too fast. As long as there is enough energy, they can turn into a Zerg army that destroys everything in a very short time.
So if you want to defeat the insect tide, the early stage is the key. As long as you can curb the number of Zerg and don't give them the opportunity to develop, it will be fine.
Seven hundred monks, formed into a hundred teams, led by their respective team leaders, scattered around the Worm Valley, killing Zergs, and advancing step by step towards the wormhole.
These crawling insects are not strong. Compared with the monks, most of them are only equivalent to the first or second level of Lingxi, and a few are equivalent to the third level. They are not big in size, unlike the Zergs that Lu Ye encountered in the Mirage Realm, many of which are about the same size as him.
The Zergs here are only as big as fists, and the big ones are only about the size of basins. In addition, their attack methods are simple, so it is not difficult to kill them.
The only difficulty is that there are too many of them. There are tens of thousands of insects crawling all over the valley, and the ground has been gnawed by them for several layers.
With the spiritual power surging, teams cleared the areas they were responsible for, killing Zergs one by one. The green blood soon spread all over the Worm Valley, filling the place with a pungent smell.
Unlike those teams that cleared out the Zerg layer by layer and advanced from the outside to the inside, Lu Ye went alone, one man and one sword, and directly carved a straight line in the Zerg army. Wherever he passed, there were insect corpses everywhere.
To deal with such enemies that were not big enough and there were many of them, the Panshan Sword in his hand could not play a big role. Even if he killed one by one, the number that could be killed was limited.
However, Lu Ye's means of killing enemies were not limited to the Panshan Sword. He could barely be regarded as a fake magic cultivator.
The Fire Phoenix Art and the Fire Dragon Art were performed alternately. The scorching spiritual power covered a large number of insects every time. Especially the Fire Dragon Art, as the second magic method attached to the Red Lotus Chongxiao Jue, which can only be practiced by the seventh level of cultivation, is several times greater than the Fire Phoenix Art in terms of power and coverage. Of course, the greater the power, the greater the consumption.
Comparing these two magic methods, Lu Ye is undoubtedly very satisfied with the Fire Dragon Art, because this magic method finally did not cause any moths.
Somehow, the Fire Phoenix Technique was turned into a Fire Quail by him, with a very strange shape.
The Fire Dragon Technique, however, looks very good. When it is performed, it seems that there is really a fire dragon flying, and even the dragon scales on the dragon's body can be vaguely seen.
The valley is not too big. Lu Ye killed to the front of the wormhole in a short while. He looked down. It was dark and he couldn't see the bottom at a glance. On the wall of the wormhole, there were still insects of different shapes climbing up, as if they sensed Lu Ye's vitality. Several insects jumped up and pounced on him. When the knife flashed, these insects were cut in half before they pounced on Lu Ye.
After a brief pause, Lu Ye jumped down. He was in mid-air, and insects pounced on him from all directions. His spiritual power was surging, and all the insects that pounced on him were shaken away.
Boom...
Lu Ye fell into the bottom of the pit. He looked up and estimated the depth. It was not too deep, about ten feet. It was good news.
There was a rustling sound of crawling beside my ears, and the tide of insects surrounded me from all directions.
Spiritual power began to surge, and Lu Ye did not stop, and went all the way to the depths. He held the Panshan Knife in one hand and raised the handle of the Panshan Knife in the other hand.
A little light on the handle shone in all directions.
This was because he had added the Sunlight Spiritual Pattern to the handle. The use of this spiritual pattern in battle was not too great, but it was just right to use it here.
In order to save spiritual power, Lu Ye did not dare to activate the power of the Sunlight too violently, and only let the light radiate to the extent that it could radiate a range of ten feet.
After an incense stick, Lu Ye's figure soared into the sky from the pit, and a pair of fiery red wings behind him attracted attention.
He flew over the Insect Valley and landed beside Hua Ci, his body covered with green blood.
Several casual cultivators who were only at the first level immediately stepped forward, fetched clean water, and washed his body.
Hua Ci did not participate in the battle. As the only medical practitioner in the garrison, she needed to treat the injured disciples here. However, the time was short and the fighting was not long, so basically no one was injured.
There were also more than a dozen people gathered on her side, ten of whom had too low cultivation, only the first level. It was easy to die if they participated in the battle with such cultivation, so they followed Hua Ci here as assistants.
The other few people were interested in developing in the direction of medical practice and learned medical skills from Hua Ci.
This is good. A sect must have different factions to develop, especially the medical faction. Although the overall strength of the Bixue Sect is relatively low, it is small but well-equipped, with all kinds of factions in the sect.
"Have you found it?" Hua Ci stepped forward, picked up a broken limb of an unknown insect from Lu Ye's head, and threw it aside.
Lu Ye shook his head.
"There are too many forks in it, I didn't dare to go too deep."
The reason why he went deep into the wormhole alone was to find a worm nest.
These Zergs are not rootless and sourceless. There is a Zerg nest deep in each wormhole. The Zerg nest is the source of these Zergs.
If you want to solve the Zerg tide, you must find the Zerg nest. Only by destroying the Zerg nest from the source can you eliminate the Zerg tide.
This information was obtained from Li Baxian.
The Zerg nest is deep underground and is protected by powerful Zerg. It is difficult for Lu Ye to accomplish it alone. Therefore, every time the Zerg tide comes, the major sects will go all out. Although they will not go all out like the Bixue Sect, they will also send a large number of people to determine the location of the Zerg nest first and then make plans.
Those sects have to deal with a Zerg tide every once in a while, so they are experienced and they know the underground terrain and topography. They know where there are forks and which forks lead to which direction.
On the other hand, this is the first time in decades that the Bixue Sect has enough manpower to deal with the Zerg tide. No one knows the underground terrain, and everything has to start from scratch.
So the top priority is to quickly clean up the Zerg Valley and investigate the underground situation.
The formation of the insect tide is a mystery, because every time the insect tide appears, it will be completely eliminated, but not long after, the insect tide will come back again.
Before each insect tide comes, there will be a kind of thunder falling from the sky, which can be said to be an extremely obvious sign.
The countless insects, and even the insect tide, seem to appear out of thin air.
So every time the time is about the same, once the Lingxi battlefield thunders and rains, the major sects will begin to be vigilant.
This is also the reason why Li Baxian will send a message to Lu Ye as soon as possible.
Soon, the first injured cultivator came. Although the strength of the insects in the insect valley is not high, there are too many of them, and it is inevitable to be injured in the battle.
Hua Ci treated him carefully, and while treating him, he also explained the medical theory to the disciples who wanted to take the path of medical cultivation.
Lu Ye did not make a move again. Although he killed those insects easily before, he did not get much merit. With his current strength, it is estimated that he would have to kill 20 to 30 insects to get a little merit.
Unlike those low-level cultivators, they get merit for every insect they kill. Although the number is not large, the accumulated benefits are very considerable.
The disciples of the Green Blood Sect do not have a suitable channel to earn merit at the moment, and the insect tide is an opportunity for them.
Anyway, with the current foundation of the Green Blood Sect, it is not difficult to clear the insects in the Insect Valley, so Lu Ye will not get involved in this matter.
After that, entering the wormhole is where Lu Ye needs to work.
The battle continued, and people kept coming in injured, and they had to rejoin the battle after being treated by Hua Ci.
Half a day later, the encirclement of the Green Blood Sect cultivators had been reduced by half, and the progress was very fast, because the Green Blood Sect was reducing the scope from the outside to the inside, so the further it went, the smoother the progress.
After another two hours, the insects in the Insect Valley were killed, and the disciples cheered.
The entire Insect Valley is now full of insect corpses, and the green blood flows like a river.
"Clean up the battlefield, and all teams will repair and recover. After three hours, follow me into the wormhole."
Lu Ye gave a command, and the disciples immediately took action. Several teams guarded the entrance of the wormhole, killing the insects that crawled out of the hole, and the rest went to collect the insect corpses.
The insect corpses can be sold to the Tianji Treasure House.
For the cultivators in the Jiuzhou cultivation world, the Tianji Treasure House is definitely a good place. No matter what you want, as long as you have enough merit, you can buy it from it. No matter what it is, you can sell it to the Tianji Treasure House. Of course, it is difficult to comment on the value.
For example, the insect corpses collected by the disciples at the moment may only have a little merit if you sell more than a dozen, but it is still a merit, which is better than nothing.
Three hours passed in a flash, and seven hundred cultivators gathered at the entrance of the cave, all of them were full of fighting spirit.
Lu Ye walked from behind with his hand on the handle of the knife, followed by Amber, and Yiyi rode on Amber, and the crowd took the initiative to separate a passage.
He walked to the cave entrance and jumped down in one step. Amber also jumped down with Yiyi without hesitation. The next one to jump down was Chen Yu, who was at the seventh level, and then the teams led by the sixth level monks.
There was a sound of fierce fighting below, accompanied by the hissing of the Zerg dying.
After a short moment, Chen Yu's voice came from below: "It's done!"
The teams waiting at the cave entrance fell down in an orderly manner. Teams gathered at the bottom of the cave, and then, led by their respective captains, they explored forward, and torches were lit...
