Chapter 803 - 803 Black Cloud of Insects
803 Black Cloud of Insects
“I wonder how many people are going to die in this battle! The last thing we wanted was war, but we could never escape from it. I hope that we can get through this safely and that more civilians will survive. This change came too quickly, and the people in the oasis didn’t have time to evacuate.”
A look of worry appeared in Hua Mulan’s eyes. However, there was nothing she could do at the moment. The only thing she could do was to prepare the army for battle. As long as they could win this battle, all losses would be reduced to a minimum. If they lost, everything would be over.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Just as everyone was panicking, the pitch-black clouds in the void seemed to be gradually dissipating. At the same time, there were already traces of light shining through. However, what followed was a terrifying sound of vibration. It seemed to be the sound of wings flapping at high speed.
“Insects, so many insects. The sky is filled with insects. These insects are flying towards the oasis.”
“Black insects, this is bad. A bug plague is about to happen. Quick, find a place to hide! These bugs are bad. They will definitely bring disaster.”
“This is bad. I heard that there was a type of terrifying bug in the desert called the Black Flesh-Eating Beetle. These bugs are very terrifying, and they can devour the flesh and blood of living creatures. They live in groups, and their numbers are astonishing. Legend has it that when they become powerful, they can even gnaw on the corpses of gods and devils.”
A series of exclamations rang out, causing countless people’s expressions to change.
A sea of black insects swarmed over from the void like a tide.
Countless civilians rushed into their homes and quickly closed their doors and windows. Some of them made their way into the tunnels they had dug. No one wanted to face those terrifying Black Flesh-Eating Beetles. According to the records, an adult would be devoured by a group of Black Flesh-Eating Beetles in less than a second, not even leaving a bone behind.
It was extremely brutal and terrifying.
Howl!
On the oasis, a golden vulture suddenly soared into the sky. However, it didn’t want to fight with the insects but to escape into the distance.
However, it couldn’t escape from this area in an instant. As soon as it flew up, it was surrounded by a dense group of Black Flesh-Eating Beetles. The vulture was also very powerful. A layer of golden flames appeared on its body and burned the Black Flesh-Eating Beetles. A large number of Black Flesh-Eating Beetles were burned to death on the spot, but these Black Flesh-Eating Beetles didn’t fear death at all. They pounced on the vulture and bit it, causing the vulture to let out a series of shrill screams.
In less than a breath’s time, it was completely submerged by the flesh-eating beetles. Even the golden flames could not be seen.
No one knew how many bugs were burned to death by the vulture, but they were sure that theBlack Flesh-Eating Beetles dispersed in a breath’s time, and the golden vulture had completely disappeared.
Many ferocious birds soared into the sky and fought with the insect swarm. A large number of insects were killed.
Wind blades cut through the void, flames burned in all directions, and all kinds of bloodline magical powers were executed by the ferocious beasts and birds.
However, the number of bugs killed was a drop in the ocean compared to the huge number in the sky. It was not worth mentioning. In the blink of an eye, they were submerged without even a splash.
“All soldiers, listen up. Use your talismans and flame talismans. Target the bugs in the void. Attack them with all your might.”
General Valley had already reacted.
Under the command, millions of talismans shot into the sky and turned into balls of blazing flames, bombarding the swarm. The flames merged together and formed a sea of fire. The scene was quite shocking. A dense number of insects were burned to death by the flames and fell from the sky. It was as dense as rain.
It was unknown how many of them died in an instant, but the ground was covered with a thick layer of insect carcasses in an instant.
Moreover, the flame talismans were still being released continuously.
One flame talisman was not scary, but the power produced by the explosion of a million flame talismans at the same time was very impressive.
The most terrifying thing about these bugs was their numbers, but under the flames, they could be burned to death in an instant.
The swarm of insects retreated and disappeared. Just like when they appeared, they appeared strangely and disappeared suddenly.
Under the bombardment of the talismans from General Valley, the swarm of insects did not cause much harm to the oasis. There were very few casualties, especially on the human side. With General Valley’s defense, the number of people who suffered could be counted on one hand.
“The signs of disaster have already begun, so it won’t end easily. I wonder what will come next!” Li Xiang looked at the sun that had reappeared in the sky and muttered to himself.
The dense cloud of insects was not scary. These insects were not strong. They were much weaker than the insects they encountered last time when they fought against the bug race.
If there were only a few of them, even a black iron transcendent realm cultivator could easily kill them.
However, the insect cloud could also fly at an extremely fast speed. It covered the sky and the earth, and it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. Those powerful fierce beasts and ferocious birds were devoured by the insect cloud, and not even their bones were left. Common transcendent cultivators would be helpless in this situation.
The only reason was that he couldn’t instantly kill these Black Flesh-Eating Beetles on a large scale.
This time, General Valley used the flame talismans to attack. Under the situation of a large number of flame talismans, the destructive power produced was without any blind spots, making the cloud of insects unable to escape at all. Large numbers of them died, which was the real reason why the insects retreated.
The High Priest must be having a heartache for the dead bugs! Knowing that the bugs were useless, they did not make unnecessary sacrifices and retreated on their own.
This was the power and terror of a group. If it wasn’t for the fact that there was an organization attacking at the same time, even if they threw out the same talismans, it would be impossible to destroy the insect cloud in one go.
“It’s terrifying. What should we do? This is a sign that the High Priest has awakened. Black clouds cover the sky, and those black clouds are insect clouds, which are the Black Flesh-Eating Beetles summoned by him. Legend had it that these Flesh-Eating Beetles were the most common ones. Above them were the Green Flesh-Eating Beetles that has bronze bodies. The Black Flesh-Eating Beetle was called the Black-Iron Flesh-Eating Beetle, while the Green Flesh-Eating Beetle was called the Bronze Flesh-Eating Beetle. Above them were the Silver Flesh-Eating Beetle, and the Golden Flesh-Eating Beetle. The Golden Flesh-Eating Beetle was also called the Saint Flesh-Eating Beetle. If it’s a Bronze Flesh-Eating Beetle, then our entire oasis will be destroyed and turn into nothing.”
“It’s too scary! I don’t want to stay here. I want to enter The Void Divine Gate. I want to go to the Kingdom of Dawn. That’s where paradise is. That’s the place where we humans should stay.”
“It’s just a sign, and it’s already so terrifying. Just how strong is the High Priest?”
Countless civilians walked out of their homes and looked at the densely packed carcasses on the ground. Their faces were pale and extremely ugly.
Many people started to rush towards The Void Divine Gate subconsciously, trying to see if they could enter it.
