Chapter 599: Chapter 585: Total Sacrifice
The influence of the insect tide spreads around.
If this is a disaster, then Su Tan’s camp is the most severely affected area, while the surrounding hundred miles, including the Gorge Gate, are just radiation zones, causing some killings, but only within an understandable range.
Moreover...
From the current situation, this disaster brings not only death.
Just like Zhang Ye, if not threatened by the Tumor Insect, he would not have surpassed himself at the last moment and broken through to a realm he previously didn’t dare to imagine.
Awakening needs a huge amount of energy. Some people suppress energy awakening due to physical reasons. Although their bodies are different, they don’t show obvious awakening characteristics. Only under immense energy or pressure can they break through limits and become true professionals!
In moments of despair, people’s body and mind undergo drastic changes. If unable to bear it, there is only a dead end. No, even keeping a whole corpse is a luxury when attacked by insects. The common fate is being ripped open and swallowed alive.
But those who withstand this pressure find the true meaning of power in despair, suddenly transforming from ordinary people into professionals, ascending in one leap!
At this moment, if someone looks down at the Gorge Gate from above, they would see dozens, even hundreds of light beams of different colors appearing in various corners of the city. These people underwent bodily mutations due to pressure, creating such a shocking spectacle in this short period of time!
...............
Su Tan was originally filled with terror, feeling that all his foundations would disappear in this disaster, yet Chen Feng’s participation caused a fundamental reversal of the battlefield!
"Little Tan, who would’ve thought Chen Feng would have so many talents under his command? We really miscalculated this time, not expecting his power to be so terrifying!"
Hong Mian stood by, gazing at the astounding battle before them, her voice slightly trembling.
"Indeed, no one expected him to withstand the insect attack singlehandedly. This kind of power is beyond my comparability." Having consumed too much energy in previous defenses, Su Tan could only retreat to the second line for a brief rest with Chen Feng holding the front.
Just now, the massive Yama Centipede appeared, intimidating many. It was like the insect flames were overwhelming, and the thick stench and blood smell emanating from its body penetrated the hearts, delivering the strongest deterrence to the surrounding crowd!
Yet this giant creature couldn’t stir any waves in front of Chen Feng, killed within moments, even the corpse severed in two, lying miserably aside.
And at that time, beside Chen Feng were two stunning women, one carrying a bow, with a captivating face and movements that ensnare people’s souls, captivating not only men but even women with their beauty.
Elwin gained the favor of Rose, and advancing in rank changed her aura, showcasing the Dark Elf’s prowess. Unlike those tree spirits sitting on treasures yet failing to utilize them, the Dark Elves maximized the value of their appearance!
If a beauty contest were held in the Abyss, surely the Dark Elves would feature among the top three races.
Rose is an Evil God who’s ruthless in achieving her goals. Look at the rebels; they end up as ugly Demon Hunting Spiders or Wax Melting Demons, with no bottom line or mercy, naturally maximizing the Dark Elf’s beauty.
With rank advancement, Dark Elves can gain a sliver of divinity from Rose through prayers. Compared to true divinity, this sliver is only one-thousandth but can alter one’s aura, adding a layer of mystery!
And Elwin, being a Priest, gained ten times the divinity of ordinary Dark Elves after advancing to Golden Tier, reaching one percent divinity, which endowed her with a rich mysterious aura, drawing countless eyes.
Yet such a formidable figure, possessing allure even women can’t ignore, willingly serves Chen Feng, capturing Su Tan’s attention.
Moreover, not only this mysterious woman, but also beside her, there’s a character resembling Ah Fei. But the power difference is stark; if Ah Fei is a star on the horizon, the other is a moon hanging at the highest point!
It’s like the light of a candle can’t compete with the sun and the moon!
At this moment, Su Tan realized his disparity with Chen Feng. If the opponent wants to annex him, no need to act personally—just these two subordinates could completely overthrow his painstakingly built force!
Candlelight? Sun and Moon?
Su Tan’s face showed some bitterness, isn’t this exactly the gap between him and Chen Feng?
Who would’ve thought that the giant of the Gorge Gate would fall to such a state? During the same period, Shi Xiong and others had been killed, and the cunning Lin Tianxiu willingly became a slave, slaughtering his confidants to demonstrate loyalty. Now Su Tan finally understood his attitude before was merely overestimating his own abilities.
It’s unexpected that within such a short time, the power of the Gorge Gate dwindled to this extent, with no force to resist!
The arrival of the Insect Realm made Su Tan recognize reality: this world holds too many accidents. Even if given one year or ten years for development, encountering this insect plague would still lead to complete destruction of all construction. At this moment, Su Tan’s pride shattered instantly like white paper in the face of calamity!
Su Tan was also a Golden Tier expert with incredibly terrifying calculation abilities. Within seconds, countless plans surfaced in her mind, and she finally realized that in such chaotic circumstances, only by relying on a powerful figure could she have a chance of survival. Her expression was resolute, and she was already prepared to pledge allegiance to Chen Feng after surviving this disaster, gaining the ability to live in this world!
"Hoo... Hoo..."
As time went on, the battlefield situation changed again. The crowd had just breathed a sigh of relief after the killing of the Fiend Centipede when suddenly, three insects with supreme presence arrived before everyone!
Boom!
Immense power appeared on the battlefield, the three insects stood in a ’product’ formation. Even though there were only three, they possessed an imposing encirclement force.
"Goo... Goo loo loo..."
Ah Fei stood pale-faced to the side, her strength nearly exhausted from defending the camp. As she gasped for breath, the air above her head began to churn like rippling water. The next moment, a huge translucent wasp appeared, its steel needle-like tail shimmering with a cold gleam, poised to pierce Ah Fei’s skull!
Soul-Devouring Bee!
This was an anomalous species; its tail needle was extremely sharp, with a special effect of [ignoring defense]. What does this imply? At full force, no material can defend against it!
Su Tan’s eyes widened, panic spreading across her face. Others derisively called the opponent a dog slave, but she always regarded Ah Fei as a sister. At that moment, she let out a long howl, disregarding her physical discomfort, ready to charge forward to rescue Ah Fei, but the distance between them was too great, even if she accelerated, she was helpless!
Just as Ah Fei was about to perish, a flash of cyan light streaked by. The sound of wind and thunder roared!
An arrow shot from the east, targeting the Soul-Devouring Bee attempting to ambush Ah Fei. The arrow carried supreme power, and the Soul-Devouring Bee seemingly sensed danger. Its body twisted, using its tail needle to confront the opponent. With a ’bang’, the thorny branch broke in response, indicating how much its tail had been fortified!
Su Tan collected herself, her face pale as she glanced at the Soul-Devouring Bee before turning towards Elwin, her face full of gratitude. Without Elwin, Ah Fei would surely have perished!
As a flying insect, the Soul-Devouring Bee possessed incredibly terrifying speed. After a failed attack, it vibrated its wings, shifting its target to Elwin, its insect eyes flickering with intense hatred. Not long ago, Elwin had killed the Fiend Centipede—new and old grudges ready to be settled!
The space quivered, and then, the Soul-Devouring Bee penetrated several dozen meters, instantly appearing in front of Elwin. Who could have thought this creature even had the ability to break through space!
The Soul-Devouring Bee raised its tail needle, aiming to stab at Elwin’s forehead.
The battlefield situation changed.
Elwin was stunned by everything in front of her; who would have thought she’d fall into such a predicament? Without time for thought, she gestured with her hand, instantly summoning a sticky-bodied Wax Melting Demon before her.
"Pfft!"
The Wax Melting Demon was hit by the Soul-Devouring Bee the moment it appeared. The tail needle carried deadly venom, and within a second, the Wax Melting Demon turned solid, its life breath instantly vanished!
Even though the Wax Melting Demon was at Silver Peak, it couldn’t survive the Soul-Devouring Bee’s attack. More terrifyingly, the demon’s body appeared in a rift, splitting in half directly. The Soul-Devouring Bee’s ability to ignore defense left Elwin with no time for preparation!
Despite Elwin being the priest of Rose, faced with such horrifying power, survival was impossible!
Elwin shuddered inexplicably, not expecting the Soul-Devouring Bee to be this fearsome, and her attempt to block it turned into a fatal disaster!
Just as the Soul-Devouring Bee’s sneak attack succeeded.
A golden flame suddenly descended, bringing infinite Flame Power upon the Soul-Devouring Bee’s head. That golden blaze was dazzling, and among the overlapping light and shadow was a terrifying monster wielding a longsword, with features completely unlike a human.
Demon descended, striking the Soul-Devouring Bee with one blow!
"Hiss hiss..."
The Soul-Devouring Bee emitted a terror-filled scream. It felt immense oppression and tried vibrating its wings to traverse space once more, but the longsword cut into its body first. As blood sprayed, it was vaporized by the flame, and the monster in the fire even took a greedy breath, seeming to relish the taste of death.
The monster ignored the Soul-Devouring Bee’s corpse, instead casting its gaze upon the remaining Golden Tier Insect Kings, its voice booming and saying resolutely: "The rift has just appeared; the descending High-tier Insects will inevitably have a limit. It seems you are all the Insect Kings. Four Golden Insect Kings plus hundreds of thousands of low-tier insects are more than enough for a Blood Sacrifice, so... all of you, die for me!"
