Chapter 810: Vicious Beetle
Xiao Lin's face changed, and he opened his mouth without thinking. All nine purple thunder star shields flew out and turned into a huge shield in front of him.
Just as he did all this, the blood light had already shot onto the shield. Xiao Lin only felt a huge impact force coming from the purple thunder star shield, and his body was pushed back dozens of feet in an instant.
The front three sides of the purple thunder star shield were already dim, but Xiao Lin's purple thunder star shield was integrated with two rare materials, ice jade and burning gold. In terms of solidity and toughness, it has reached almost the extreme. Although the spiritual light on it was dispersed, the magic weapon itself was intact.
Xiao Lin also felt fortunate in his heart. If it were an ordinary magic weapon, it would probably have been destroyed at this moment.
"Boom."
Above the Red Blood Desert, the ground shook violently, and then a huge beetle crawled out of the desert. This beetle was in the shape of a gourd, covered with thorns all over its body, densely packed, wrapping its whole body inside, just like a hedgehog.
A pair of blood-red eyes were staring at Xiao Lin, emitting a blood-red light.
Xiao Lin was shocked. This beetle was not a demon beast, but rather a kind of demon insect. However, Xiao Lin had never heard of such a huge demon insect, let alone seen it.
The beetle glared at Xiao Lin, and the shell on its back suddenly moved to the sides, revealing four wings as thin as cicada wings. With a slight tremor, it actually emitted a large piece of blood-red spiritual light.
At the same time, a large piece of sand was also rolled up on the red blood desert under it.
"Swish." A ray of blood passed by, and the figure of the beetle had disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Lin's face condensed, and with a flash of black light on his body, he had already escaped a hundred feet away. As he expected, he had just moved away, and the huge beetle had already appeared in his previous position.
At this time, Xiao Lin also saw that under the beetle's head, there were two rows of saw teeth, emitting a pale light.
"Buzz." There was an eye between the beetle's eyebrows. This eye emitted a ball of white light in a circular shape, spreading out in waves, and radiated thousands of feet away in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Lin immediately heard a dense buzzing sound in his ears, and then his face changed. He opened his mouth without hesitation, and twenty-four Qingluan Ice Swords came out in a row, spreading around Xiao Lin, and then emitting a large piece of green sword light, covering the area within dozens of feet around Xiao Lin.
It turned out that a large piece of dark clouds was flying from all around the Red Blood Desert. These dark clouds turned out to be endless iron corpse insects, and Xiao Lin also noticed that hundreds of fist-sized iron corpse insects flew out from under the beetle's cicada wings.
"Imperial-level Great Perfection Iron Corpse Insects?" Xiao Lin was surprised. The iron corpse insects that flew out from under the beetle's cicada wings were all at the level of imperial-level Great Perfection, which made Xiao Lin feel extremely difficult.
Xiao Lin believed that he could still deal with this beetle in the transformation stage, but if he faced the overwhelming iron corpse worms, he would be unable to take care of both ends.
However, Xiao Lin was not panicked, after all, he still had a lot of trump cards.
After releasing hundreds of emperor-level iron corpse worms, the giant beetle was not idle. With the flapping of its four cicada wings, it pounced on Xiao Lin again, and this time it obviously learned its lesson and let countless iron corpse worms block the surrounding space.
In this way, even if Xiao Lin wanted to escape, he couldn't do it.
Xiao Lin saw countless iron corpse worms around him pounced on him, and with a thought, endless sword light appeared in a circle, shooting in all directions with Xiao Lin as the center.
Wherever he passed, countless iron corpse worms fell to the ground like raindrops.
Xiao Lin naturally didn't care about the large number of true iron corpse worms. Only the beetles and the hundreds of emperor-level iron corpse worms were his real threat.
However, the True Iron Corpse Bugs were almost endless. Xiao Lin saw a black mass of them, and he didn't know how many there were.
Xiao Lin also took the opportunity to perform the Magic Light Hundred-foot Flash again, escaped the hundred-foot opening, and avoided the attack of the beetle!
What surprised Xiao Lin was that the number of Iron Corpse Bugs was still increasing.
Xiao Lin also noticed that the hundreds of Emperor-level Great Perfection Iron Corpse Bugs made a harsh buzzing sound from their mouths, and with these buzzing sounds, the endless True Iron Corpse Bugs immediately rushed towards Xiao Lin like crazy.
The Qingluan Ice Sword around Xiao Lin emitted countless sword lights. Wherever it passed, a large number of True Iron Corpse Bugs were killed and fell on the desert. In a moment, the ground was covered with a thick layer of True Iron Corpse Bug corpses.
But the endless Iron Corpse Bugs still rushed towards Xiao Lin desperately.
And the huge beetle did not attack Xiao Lin again.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin's heart moved. He had guessed the purpose of this giant beetle. It wanted to use the endless true iron corpse insects to consume his mana, and even wanted to summon more true iron corpse insects through the hundreds of emperor-level iron corpse insects, so as to completely besiege him here.
In this way, even if he could resist it, after a long time, his mana would be exhausted, and then it could take action and reap Xiao Lin's life.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
With a slight movement of his mind, the star ring on his hand flashed, and then a ball of blue light emerged, and Xiao Lin also uttered an obscure spell.
The ball of blue light suddenly spread out and turned into a sky full of divine sand, which instantly covered a ten-mile radius. Wherever it passed, endless iron corpse insects fell like raindrops.
It was Xiao Lin's Sky Blue Divine Sand.
The Sky Blue Divine Sand itself contained a strong poison. Although the iron corpse worm was named after the word "corpse", it was not very toxic, so its resistance to the poison was also average.
All the true iron corpse worms that were covered by the blue light of the Sky Blue Divine Sand were killed immediately.
After offering the Sky Blue Divine Sand, a vacuum zone immediately appeared between Xiao Lin and the sky full of true iron corpse worms.
Xiao Lin showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, pointed at the giant beetle with one hand, and the twenty-four Qingluan Ice Swords immediately gathered together, condensed into a huge sword light, and shot towards the beetle in the air.
Seeing this, the beetle also took action at the same time. The shell on its forehead suddenly opened, revealing dozens of blood-red eyes. From each of these eyes, a blood light shot out, gathered together, and condensed into a huge blood-colored light column, which directly collided with Xiao Lin's Qingluan Ice Sword.
Xiao Lin saw that the spiritual light on the Qingluan Ice Sword immediately dimmed, and the sword body was stained with a lot of blood-colored viscous liquid.
"Contaminated magic weapon?" Xiao Lin was surprised, and his hands kept changing, and he shot pure magic power into the Qingluan Ice Sword in the air. The Qingluan Ice Sword trembled, and the blood-colored viscous liquid was immediately torn and shaken away by the sword energy emerging from the sword body.
But Xiao Lin did not dare to continue to attack the beetle with the Qingluan Ice Sword. Instead, with a thought, the twenty-four Qingluan Ice Swords all flew to its side.
Xiao Lin saw the blood-colored viscous liquid still stained on the sword body, and he didn't know what it was. It actually made Xiao Lin's Qingluan Ice Sword lose its spirituality, which also made Xiao Lin feel distressed.
With a wave of his sleeves, Xiao Lin took back all the twenty-four Qingluan Ice Swords, and then his eyes flashed with a cold light, and one palm had already slapped the beast ring on his waist.
"Buzz buzz buzz~~" A sharp buzzing sound came, and a large cloud of fire suddenly appeared around Xiao Lin. As soon as these fire clouds appeared, they turned into several huge rockets that were more than ten feet long, piercing the void and shooting towards the beetle.
The huge beetle was startled, and a sharp "squeak" sound came from its mouth. The hundreds of emperor-level iron corpse insects surrounding it grew larger, and each one was about a foot in size.
The two rows of serrated fangs also rubbed against each other and rushed towards the rockets.
But it was obvious that the beetle underestimated the soul-eating fire Gu raised by Xiao Lin. Several rockets flashed by, accompanied by a few shrill hisses, and several emperor-level iron corpse insects were pierced through the shells by the rockets. Almost in an instant, they were burned to ashes by the red lotus true fire on the rockets.
The countless blood-red eyes on the beetle's head showed a surprised expression, and did not care about the death of several emperor-level iron corpse insects at all, and made a sharp chirping sound from its mouth.
The remaining emperor-level iron corpse insects also made a rapid chirping sound. Countless iron corpse insects immediately gave up attacking Xiao Lin and turned to surround the rockets.
After shooting and killing several emperor-level iron corpse insects, the rockets also collapsed and gathered together to form a fire cloud.
There were two or three hundred emperor-level soul-devouring fire insects in the fire cloud, and thousands of true-level soul-devouring fire insects. These true-level soul-devouring fire insects, wrapped in the red lotus true fire emitted by the emperor-level soul-devouring fire insects, seemed to be injected with stimulants, their eyes began to turn red, and their fangs rubbed loudly.
The soul-devouring fire insects fearlessly killed into the iron corpse insect swarms in the sky. Wherever they passed, the iron corpse insects fell like raindrops again.
As for the soul-devouring fire insects, although some fell, the number was much less than that of the iron corpse insects.
Xiao Lin frowned slightly. Although the True Soul Devouring Fire Gu had an absolute advantage over the Iron Corpse Worms of the same realm, the number of Iron Corpse Worms was endless. If the fight continued, the tens of thousands of True Soul Devouring Fire Gu in Xiao Lin's beast ring would soon be consumed.
However, Xiao Lin also saw a surprising side. The nearly 300 Emperor Soul Devouring Fire Gu he released killed the True Soul Devouring Fire Gu as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
The Red Lotus True Fire emitted by these Emperor Soul Devouring Fire Gu seemed to be the nemesis of the Iron Corpse Worms. All the True Iron Corpse Worms covered by the Red Lotus True Fire did not die immediately, but seemed to be frozen, and their movements became extremely slow.
The Emperor Soul Devouring Fire Gu also began to devour the True Iron Corpse Worms without hesitation.
Xiao Lin originally wanted to take back the True Soul Devouring Fire Gu, but soon he saw a scene that surprised him. The True Soul Devouring Fire Gu he released was also devouring the Iron Corpse Worms.
However, after the True Soul Devouring Fire Gu devoured dozens of True Iron Corpse Worms, it would become lazy, looking like it was full and didn't want to move.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin's heart moved, and under the drive of his mind, a large number of True Soul Devouring Fire Gu that had already eaten their fill flew towards Xiao Lin and drilled into the beast ring on his waist.
Then Xiao Lin slapped the beast ring on his waist, and another large cloud of fire shot out.
The True Soul Devouring Fire Gu in Xiao Lin's beast ring has now cultivated a number of more than 100,000, and even the Emperor Soul Devouring Fire Gu has exceeded a thousand.
Seeing that the True Soul Devouring Fire Gu actually likes to devour Iron Corpse Worms, it naturally released tens of thousands of True Soul Devouring Fire Gu again without hesitation, and flew into the swarm of Iron Corpse Worms, and started a crazy fight and devouring.
The reason why Xiao Lin didn't release all the Soul Devouring Fire Gu at once was that he was worried that the beetle would see the clues. If the surrounding Iron Corpse Worms were driven away, then his idea would be in vain.
At this time, the nearly 300 soul-devouring fire insects released by Xiao Lin also carried the red lotus true fire all over the sky and fought with hundreds of emperor-level great perfection iron corpse insects.
The emperor-level great perfection iron corpse insects are naturally different from the true iron corpse insects. Even if they face the red lotus true fire, they can resist for a long time. They directly rushed into the red lotus true fire and fought with the emperor-level soul-devouring fire insects.
The emperor-level soul-devouring fire insects raised by Xiao Lin are uneven in terms of realm. Among the more than 1,000 emperor-level soul-devouring fire insects, about 100 are at the high-level realm of the emperor, about 300 are at the middle-level realm of the emperor, and the remaining 600 to 700 are at the initial level of the emperor.
The nearly 300 soul-devouring fire insects released by Xiao Lin are all at the initial level of the emperor, and their realm is several realms lower than that of the emperor-level great perfection iron corpse insects.
Even so, what surprised Xiao Lin was that nearly three hundred emperor-level initial-stage soul-devouring fire insects, relying on their numerical advantage, actually fought on equal terms with hundreds of emperor-level great-perfection iron corpse worms.
And as the fight continued, the emperor-level great-perfection iron corpse worms wrapped in red lotus true fire actually began to gradually fall behind.
Once the emperor-level great-perfection iron corpse worms showed signs of weakness, the rest of the emperor-level soul-devouring fire insects would immediately join in, tearing the emperor-level great-perfection iron corpse worms into three pieces in almost a moment, and then swallowing them up in big mouthfuls.
Even the iron corpse worms' extremely hard shells, under the fangs of the emperor-level soul-devouring fire insects, were quickly swallowed up like fragrant steamed buns.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin finally put down his worries. Although these emperor-level great-perfection iron corpse worms were slightly better than the emperor-level initial-stage soul-devouring fire insects he raised, they still couldn't resist two or three emperor-level initial-stage soul-devouring fire insects, and soon showed signs of weakness.
This situation startled the giant beetle, and the dozens of eyes on its head all emitted a horrified light.
The giant beetle finally couldn't hold back, and dozens of eyes flashed with dazzling blood light. These blood lights actually condensed together, and then with a "swoosh", a blood-colored light ball about the size of a foot shot towards Xiao Lin in the air.
Xiao Lin's mind drove the sky-wide sky-blue divine sand, constantly strangling the endless true-level iron corpse insects.
Seeing a huge blood-colored light ball shooting towards him, Xiao Lin pointed with one hand, and three huge purple fireballs with a diameter of about a foot appeared in front of him. The three purple fireballs followed one after another, like a string of beads, and headed towards the blood-colored light ball.
The two collided with each other in an instant, and the blood-colored flames immediately exploded, and a burning breath accompanied by a pungent bloody stench emanated.
