Chapter 1913: Chapter 1912: Sinister and Ruthless
"Well done, Agula."
Feng Feifei watched the sudden turnaround by Agula, this annoying bug showing some usefulness at a critical moment.
Although they were in the same camp, Feng Feifei had never had a good impression of the Insect Master Tribe, because this group constantly needed to change hosts, and the stronger the host, the better. Only this way could the insect masters have formidable combat strength.
Don’t be fooled by the Demon Country being one nation; in daily life, the various tribes go their own way, often competing for resources. Unless it’s a matter of annihilation, the Candle Dragon Demon Emperor wouldn’t intervene.
And the tribes are allowed to act independently; after all, the Demon Country is in the Southernmost Land. Resources are not lacking, but they are not as abundant as in Ancestor Dragon City.
Moreover, the tribes themselves are wild and difficult to tame. There’s friction not only with outsiders but also within the tribe, which has fostered the demons’ fearless and warlike nature.
Although there is slaughter between tribes, those who lose in skill can only blame their own lack of strength. However, being targeted by the insect masters means not only death but also having one’s body parasitized and taken over.
Seeing your loved ones and friends become puppets of insect masters, that feeling would unsettle anyone.
Some insect masters deliberately provoke others, challenging them, knowing that winning doesn’t guarantee defeating the opponent, but losing would mean certain possession.
Overall, this Insect Master Tribe is disliked even within the Demon Country, especially by the pure-hearted Ice Phoenix Tribe, who detest the Insect Masters.
Not only them, but many others also scorn the people of the Insect Master Tribe. Perhaps Agula was aware of this, which is why he acted like a transparent presence, almost nonexistent on their journey.
Unexpectedly, his role turned out to be significant.
He parasitized the Earth Cave Demon Ape, using it to ambush those humans, a perfect strategy of dual gains, earning rare praise from Feng Feifei.
Ying tossed the Parasol Wood Box to Li Feng, but Agula, punched into pieces by the Earth Cave Demon Ape, transformed into a swarm of Gu Worms. Some attacked the Earth Cave Demon Ape, while others intercepted the Parasol Wood Box.
Li Feng, seeing the Parasol Wood Box about to be in hand, felt irritated. Thunder Flash leaped forward, while countless Gu Worms, like moths to a flame, rushed toward Li Feng.
These large Gu Worms, all with sinister faces and even poisonous, are the most terrifying tactics of the insect masters. These Gu Worms are all raised through generations and left as the Insect King.
Though they seem small, each has unique characteristics.
In the outside world, this swarm of Gu Worms is enough to cause a headache, but in the Vermilion Bird Holy Temple, where flames and elementals pervade, the air itself is filled with fiery cloud light.
This place is tailor-made for Li Feng, and although Li Feng was badly injured in the battle with Cang Ming, he wasn’t as severely hurt as expected. It’s just that the healing speed was slower than anticipated, but once Cang Ming was defeated, Li Feng began to rapidly heal.
Now, seeing the rushing swarm of Gu Worms, Li Feng coldly snorted, unleashing his Thunder Flame Domineering along with Hu Ben Fist. The domineering power stirred up a fire wave that instantly swallowed the incoming Gu Worms, making them rain down.
There’s a reason why the Fire Element is the nemesis of bugs.
Li Feng raised a fist and wiped out the swarming Gu Worms, looking at the Parasol Wood Box that had been forcibly dragged back by some Gu Worms. He punched out again, and under the sweeping fire waves, the worms carrying the box were exterminated, causing the box to fall. Li Feng flew forward to catch it.
But just then.
The insect master, having completed possession, roared a thunderous call, summoning the rest of the Earth Cave Demon Apes to attack Li Feng. Before grabbing the wood box, Li Feng was intercepted by an Earth Cave Demon Ape, which knocked the box flying.
Then a massive Iron Fist pounded over. Li Feng, his toe tapping, evaded with Thunder Flash. These Earth Cave Demon Apes each are equivalent to a Golden Core Realm, and their bodies are overlaid with a tough layer of volcanic lava, boasting tremendous defense.
Only a few places are weaknesses, like the eyes, mouth, and nose.
Li Feng flashed into the air, looking down at the dozens of Earth Cave Demon Apes below. He raised his hand and tossed out the Soul Extinguishing Needle.
The Soul Extinguishing Needle flashed cold gleams, piercing into one Earth Cave Demon Ape’s eye socket, instantly destroying its brain. The Candle Dragon Fire carried by the needle turned it into a brainless idiot, then drilled from the weak spot and aimed at the next ape.
Though the Soul Extinguishing Needle can swiftly kill the Earth Cave Demon Apes, it still takes a moment or two; after all, their heads are as hard as iron, impenetrable by the needle.
This was a delay, and meantime, the controlled Earth Demon Ape growled lowly, the Earth Cave Demon Apes ahead suddenly bending down. They cooperatively formed a human ladder, with the controlled Earth Demon Ape stepping on them to leap up.
The next second.
The fist inherited from the Earth Cave Demon Ape King pounded fiercely, its destructive Fist Power creating a wind surge targeting Li Feng.
Li Feng sneered coldly, dodging the punch with Thunder Flash, then looking at the Earth Cave Demon Ape’s head. The Blood God Claw morphed into a hand blade, stabbing into the ape’s eye socket.
His instantaneous speed could fight several hundred rounds with Cang Ming, and these Earth Cave Demon Apes weren’t known for speed, dare leap up to attack him.
Without the ground, the Earth Cave Demon Apes can’t fly; they can’t leverage midair. They are merely targets.
But just as Li Feng’s Blood God Claw pierced the ape’s eye, the ape suddenly opened its giant maw, countless Gu Worms forming an arrow shooting toward Li Feng.
Insect master Agula never expected the ape to do much to Li Feng. He saw Li Feng’s fight with Cang Ming thoroughly, knowing the ape couldn’t best him, even in large numbers.
Unless the Earth Cave Demon Ape King appeared in person.
Agula didn’t expect this punch to succeed; it was merely a method, a way to approach the opponent.
The moment the opponent showed arrogance, Agula revealed his killing move, sending a flood of Gu Worms charging toward Li Feng’s body.
After all, the claw wound on Li Feng’s chest wasn’t fully healed, and the blood was the best meal for Gu Worms.
This move indeed caught Li Feng off guard, but these Gu Worms wishing to enter Li Feng’s body were wishful thinking.
Before the Gu Worms could penetrate Li Feng’s body, his blood began to burn, the Burning Technique activated, Thunder Flame exploded.
Instantly, Li Feng was enveloped in a layer of flame, and around him, thunder light spread, arcs raging. Facing the double nemesis of Thunder Fire, many Gu Worms turned into charcoal.
The bulky Earth Cave Demon Ape crashed down, and Li Feng looked at the nearly incinerated Gu Worms, snorting coldly.
His gaze turned to the fallen Parasol Wood Box. Li Feng descended.
Yet at that moment, Ran Yue suddenly shouted, "Li Feng, watch out."
