Chapter 218: Being Able to Fly Means Being Willful
So if the insect corpses are not collected, the insect nest can continuously devour the vitality and energy of the dead insects, and then hatch more insects.
This information came from Li Baxian. Before the war, Lu Ye specifically reminded him of this point. He must pay attention to collecting insect corpses. For this reason, each cultivator tampered with his storage bag to ensure that each team had several empty storage bags.
The strength of the insects in the insect nest is generally strong. There are many three- and four-layer ones, and there are also five- and six-layer ones. There are not too many seven-layer ones, so the Bixue Sect can barely cope with it for a while.
The Fire Dragon Technique was performed continuously. Lu Ye was almost urging this technique regardless of the loss, because only in this way can the insects be killed as soon as possible. The faster the enemy is killed, the better the situation will be.
With him blocking the way, the situation here quickly stabilized, but no one rushed forward, because no one knew how many dangers there were in the darkness.
But he, a seventh-level cultivator, was so ferocious in urging his spiritual power, and the Fire Dragon Technique would also burst out with fierce flames, which would bring another problem.
Less than thirty breaths after the battle began, Lu Ye felt a strong breath approaching rapidly in the darkness ahead, it was the eighth-level Zerg.
There was more than one coming, judging from the movement, it was initially inferred that there were at least three.
The number was not large. With Lu Ye's current cultivation strength, he had a chance to kill one instantly, and he could also kill the remaining two together with dozens of cultivators here.
However, just as he was planning this, Kong Niu shouted from a distance: "Danger!"
This was agreed long ago. Once the pressure in any position was too great, an alarm would be given immediately, and Lu Ye would rush over to help.
He deliberately arranged the cave entrance guarded by Kong Niu near himself, considering that Kong Niu was only a fifth-level cultivator, even if he was assigned enough people, he might not be able to stop the seventh-level Zerg.
Now this arrangement is indeed foresighted.
Lu Ye had no time to deal with the eight-layer insects that were about to jump out of the darkness. He had already spread a pair of wings behind him and soared into the air. At the same time, he held a knife in one hand and the scabbard of the Panshan Knife in the other. The dazzling light on the scabbard shone like a rising sun!
The strong light reflected the entire insect nest in detail. Lu Ye took this opportunity to sweep his eyes and his scalp suddenly numbed. It was dark before and he couldn't see the situation in the insect nest clearly. Now there was the light of the sunshine spirit pattern, which allowed him to see the situation of the entire insect nest.
The number of insects gathered in the entire insect nest exceeded his imagination. Moreover, the walls around the insect nest were also covered with insects of various shapes. Under the attraction of the spiritual power fluctuations, they were crawling towards the place where the monks gathered.
"Be careful of your heads!" He shouted, and at the same time paid attention to the eight-layer insects. If these eight-layer insects didn't follow, it would be troublesome.
Even if Hua Ci stayed there, he couldn't stop the killing of these eight-layer insects.
Fortunately, the Zerg have no reason and only know how to act according to instinct.
Thanks to the fourth brother, he provided a lot of useful information.
Lu Ye, who was holding a sun, undoubtedly became the target of the eight-layer Zerg. They crawled quickly on the ground, and many Zergs in front of them had no time to dodge and were cut into pieces by their sharp claws.
Not only that, several eight-layer Zerg were attracted to the center of the insect nest.
Six eight-layer Zerg! Such a lineup, if the outer sects don't go all out, they really can't take it down, because in the outer sects' garrisons, there are only a few seventh-layer realms, let alone the eighth-layer realm.
Generally speaking, only the garrison envoys or deputy envoys of the garrison will have the seventh-layer realm.
Flying in the air, Lu Ye blasted a fire dragon spell downwards, and the fire dragon with dragon scales faintly visible crashed into the insect swarm, instantly killing and injuring a large number of people.
After two fire dragons hit, the pressure on Kong Niu's side was greatly reduced.
"Fifth Brother!" Another shout rang out.
Lu Ye rushed in that direction.
The standard procedure for the outer sects to deal with the insect tide is to find the location of the insect nest, then block the hole, and continue to kill the insects. When the vitality and energy stored in the insect nest are exhausted, they will win.
Although this is a bit slow, it is safer. Even if there is an accident somewhere, it can be made up in time.
Lu Ye did not choose this. The Blue Blood Sect took the initiative to attack and let the monks under the sect open up a battlefield in the insect nest. The risk is high, but the efficiency is also high.
The reason why he chose to do this is because he has strong mobility and can provide support everywhere at any time.
It can be said that being able to fly is willful.
This is something that ordinary seventh-level realms cannot compare.
For a while, Lu Ye held up the sun, constantly urged the fire dragon technique, and led the six eighth-level insects to rush around in the insect nest, supporting everywhere, and the situation slowly stabilized.
Moreover, when the six eighth-level insects chased Lu Ye, they would also cause a lot of accidental injuries to their companions. Although the insect corpses killed by them could not be collected, they also invisibly reduced the pressure on the Blue Blood Sect.
After the situation stabilized, Lu Ye focused his attention on the eight-layer insects that were chasing him. These big guys must be dealt with quickly, otherwise they will become hidden dangers.
During the flight, Lu Ye sacrificed his handleless short knife, and the fiery red light began to shuttle, aiming at one of the eight-layer monsters, piercing its body, and bringing out a burst of green blood.
It must be said that the vitality of the eight-layer monster is still very tenacious. Lu Ye used the weapon to attack it seven or eight times before killing it.
The light flew back and was pinched by Lu Ye to replenish his spiritual power, and then he sacrificed it again.
Maintaining the flying wings and the sun-illuminating spiritual pattern, activating the fire dragon technique, and controlling the weapon to kill the enemy all consumed a lot of energy. In less than half a cup of tea, Lu Ye's spiritual power was consumed by nearly 70%, leaving only about 30%.
You should know that he is now in the seventh level, and his spiritual orifices have opened more than 100, and his spiritual power reserves are no longer what they used to be.
If he were in the fifth level, he would have run out of energy at this moment.
He was not panicked, and took out a jade bottle from the storage bag, opened the bottle mouth, and drank the contents in one gulp.
The taste was a bit strange, like fruit wine, and a bit bitter.
Breathing fruit wine.
The Breathing fruit brought back from the chess sea before was handed over to Shui Yuan for processing according to the instructions of the fourth senior brother.
The Breathing fruit pulp was supplemented by Shui Yuan with various precious medicinal materials and made into this kind of fruit wine. Under such processing, the effect of the Breathing fruit pulp can be fully exerted.
When Senior Sister Shui Yuan gave Lu Ye the Breathing Fruit Wine, she told him that with his seventh-level cultivation, a portion of Breathing Fruit Wine could restore 50% of his spiritual power within 30 breaths.
Unlike the powerful recovery effect of eating the flesh of the Breathing Fruit directly, the recovery time of Breathing Fruit Wine has become longer and the effect has also decreased.
But it wins in large quantities.
For example, the bottle that Lu Ye just drank was one portion, and Shui Yuan gave him and Hua Ci more than 30 portions respectively.
If there was no Breathing Fruit Wine as a base, Lu Ye would never be able to squander his spiritual power so recklessly. Squandering all the spiritual power in a short period of time would be courting death.
After the Breathing Fruit Wine entered his stomach, he immediately felt warm in his abdomen, and then the huge spiritual power filled his spiritual orifices with the circulation of the small Zhoutian. After 30 breaths, Lu Ye, who originally had only 30% of his spiritual power, became vigorous again.
He continued to support from all sides and took the opportunity to kill the eighth-level insects that were chasing him.
Half an hour later, the Zerg's offensive obviously weakened a lot. Even though the Zerg nest was still hatching new Zergs, it couldn't keep up with the speed of the monks' killing. The lines of the caves were completely stabilized, and there were only two Zergs of the eighth level following Lu Ye at this moment, one of which was still being tortured by the light of the imperial weapon.
As this Zerg of the eighth level fell, there was only one left chasing Lu Ye.
The sun that had been shining in all directions went out, and Lu Ye also landed in front of the cave where Kong Niu was. As soon as his front foot landed, the lone Zerg of the eighth level rushed over.
Lu Ye drew his sword, with the blessing of sharp spiritual patterns, the Panshan sword cut through the long legs of the Zerg from the side.
Green blood fell, the insects screamed, and the Zerg, which was as long as a person, fell to the ground. The black shell on its long legs could not block this sharp knife.
Almost at the same time it fell, Lu Ye had turned over and stabbed the Zerg's back with a long sword, penetrating its body.
The Zerg struggled, green blood sprayed everywhere.
Red light surged on the Panshan Knife, pulling a huge wound on its back and breaking it in half.
"Kill!" Kong Niu suddenly roared, and then, shouts of killing echoed from all parts of the insect nest.
An hour later, the monks at the nine cave entrances pushed inward at the same time, suppressing the range of activities of the remaining Zerg step by step.
Lu Ye wiped off the blood on the Panshan Knife, sheathed it, and exhaled lightly.
The overall situation has been decided! He didn't need to do anything more. The monks in the sect had few ways to gain merit, so Lu Ye naturally didn't need to compete with them.
"Sister Hua Ci, cheer up!" Ruan Lingyu's voice suddenly came from the side.
Lu Ye walked over and saw Hua Ci kneeling on the ground under the illumination of a nearby torch, with her long legs together, her calves open to the outside, and her eyes dull.
Ruan Lingyu was in front of her, shaking her shoulders.
"Are you injured?" Lu Ye asked nervously.
Ruan Lingyu shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
When the situation was tense just now, Hua Ci behaved as usual, leading her fellow apprentices to kill the enemy. Now that the situation was settled, she felt relieved and her heart was broken.
After confirming that Hua Ci was not injured, Lu Ye was relieved, squatted in front of her, and patted her shoulder: "You will get used to it slowly. The insect tide will not only happen once."
Hua Ci turned her eyes and looked at him steadily, her eyes full of despair...
"Accompany her, call me immediately if there is any situation." Lu Ye told Ruan Lingyu and turned back.
Although the situation is settled now, as long as the insect nest has not been completely wiped out, we cannot take it lightly. If a few people suddenly die at this time, it would be really unfair.
Moreover, if the information provided by the fourth brother is correct, there are at least two or three powerful guys in this insect nest! They may only be the eighth-level insect race, but they are more powerful than ordinary eighth-level insect races.
