Chapter 304: Devil Crocodile Beetle

Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem

After the runic spears displayed their formidable might, the eight Nine Devil Parasite Cannons which had been established at the rear of the mountain a long ago also roared to life.

Bang, bang, bang, bang…

After that, eight continuous heavy sounds echoed from the accurately bombarded group of seventy-something bandits. The next instant, a thick green gas liquid spread around the bandits.

A blood curdling echoed in Li Yunmu's ears.

The eight Nine Devil Parasite Cannons didn't attack using ordinary artillery shells, but used different sorts of parasite beetle eggs.

Each of these parasite beetle eggs was as large as a football ball. When they exploded among the group of bandits, a large number of densely packed parasite beetles and thick green liquid appeared.

As long as a bandit got infected by this green liquid, the parasite beetles would crawl up their body from head to toe in no time. Afterwards, those parasite beetles would rip apart the person's skin and enter their flesh.

One after another, blood curdling screams of the miserable people entered the ears of the descenders. The parasite beetles were quickly entering their victims' flesh and began laying eggs. Soon, the parasite beetles began to breed using the flesh of the bandits as their nest.

Countless batches of newly born parasite beetles then crawled out of the dead bodies, their numbers reaching several tens of thousands.

Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbstruck.

This was everyone's first time seeing the offensive power of the Nine Devil Parasite Cannon. No wonder it was ranked second among the ten great forbidden weapons. These parasite cannons would be way too hazardous in a large scale war.

In a blink of an eye, the bandits of the Nine Dragon Cave were completely wiped out, and several tens of thousands of newly born parasite beetles covered their bodies. Even those bandits who hadn't died yet were eaten by the tens of thousands of parasite beetles in less than a few minutes, leaving behind only a pile of bones.

"What kind of fiendish insect is this…?

A hint of fear flashed on Zhao Mei's face, and other descenders also looked at Zhan Wuyan with slight concern.

Zhan Wuya had had an ulterior motive for taking out the Nine Devil Parasite Cannons at this time. He wanted to display the terrifying methods of War God Temple to his fellow descenders to intimidate them.

By this time, Liujia Village's hunting squad together with Liu Qingshi and Liu Quan had managed to react with fear filled hearts.

This sort of unprecedentedly terrifying method had completely frightened these natives.

"Capture them."

A shining treasure bead appeared in Zhan Wuya's hands. One after other, several rays of green-colored light shot out from the treasure bead, which seemed to have control over the newly born parasite beetles.

Due to his orders, the bandits from the hunting squad of Liujia Village followed their companions. The numerous parasite beetles began crawling over their bodies, and even Liu Quan who was the eighth head was turned into a pile of bones after being eaten.

Ruyan Lanzhi wrinkled her brows and couldn't resist saying, "This is too cruel."

Zhan Wuya remain unmoved and coldly said, "Cruel? If I hadn't used this method, then how could we have quickly settled this group of bandits and stopped them from calling for any reinforcements."

The only person left alive was Liu Qingshi, who was surrounded by the group of parasite beetles. Zhan Wuya walked forward in large strides and subdued him.

"Alright, more than half of the forces of the Nine Dragon Cave have been vanquished. Now is the best time for us to capture the transfer channel."

No one had expected that the eight Nine Devil Parasite Cannons would turn out to be so terrifying. They had thought it would be a terrifying battle, but now it was quickly settled by the group of parasite beetles.

At this time, Man Tian and the others appeared from behind them, revealing that they had already dealt with the troublesome matters.

"Yes, we have dealt with the elderly, women, and children as well. Let's go now."

"You killed them?" Hai Yue asked with a slight frown.

Man Tian seemed to care about Hai Yue's feelings and hurriedly replied, "No, they're just unconscious. They won't awaken until we reach the Nine Dragon Cave."

After this, everyone swiftly departed to kill their way through the Nine Dragon Cave.

By this time, Li Yunmu had obtained sufficient information about the Nine Devil Parasite Cannon from the data gathered by the system. When he quickly glanced through it, he took in a deep breath.

Nine Devil Parasite Cannon had nine types of parasite beetles. Just now, Zhan Wuya had used only one type of parasite beetle, Crocodile Beetle, and nothing more. Apart from this, there were still eight types of devil beetles left and each of them was just as terrifying. Each kind had its respective strength and unique ability.

The parasite beetles had one common characteristic which was that they feasted upon flesh and blood. As long as they had sufficient supply of flesh, they would breed continuously.

The rate of breeding would depend upon the parasite beetle's quality. On the basis of quality, the parasite beetles were divided into Worker Beetle, Soldier Beetle, King Beetle, Emperor Beetle, and Mother Beetle.

The higher quality parasite beetles were shot from the cannons, the more they would breed.

For example, the highest quality of parasite beetle, Mother Beetle, could breed five times as long as the supply of flesh was ensured. The beetle numbers would then expand greatly, and they would quickly attain the terrifying amount of ten billion parasite beetles!

Just one Mother Beetle shot from Nine Devil Parasite Cannon could cause millions of casualties on a battlefield without any major energy consumption.

This was the reason why the Nine Devil Parasite Beetle Cannon was rated as the second most deadly forbidden weapon. It was exceptionally terrifying.

Fortunately, the humans currently didn't possess the ability to control Mother Beetles; otherwise, it would have been a total catastrophe.

The parasite beetles used by Zhan Wuya were the lowest Worker Beetles who could breed only once. The parasite insects which appeared after breeding would also be Worker Beetles. Each of them was the size of a fist and their life was extremely short; they could only exist for five minutes.

Sure enough, before a lot of time passed, the tens of thousands of crocodile beetles under the control of Zhan Wuya died. But even so, all the descenders understood well that the War God Temple had prepared terrifying reserves for Zhan Wuya and Ji Wuxin.

At this time, Ji Wuxin appeared at Li Yunmu's side and softly said, "Do you now understand the meaning of the words I spoke previously? You still have the time to reconsider your decision regarding joining my War God Temple."

"They aren't able to harm me, regardless of how numerous they are. Unless they can get past my defense, they are useless."

Although Li Yunmu was quite startled by the offensive power of Nine Devil Parasite Cannon, he couldn't be that easily intimidated by the other party.

"Although asking me to enter War God Temple isn't impossible, the action loses meaning if you're the only one asking. All this talk then is just nonsense."

Li Yunmu smiled faintly, starling Ji Wuxin. It couldn't be denied that Li Yunmu's one sentence was ruthless. In one move, he had directly struck at the sore point in Ji Wuxin's heart.

He could clearly see that regardless of whether it was Zhan Wuya or Ji Wuxin, neither of them completely represented War God Temple. They instead acted as restrictions on each other, carefully engineered by War God Temple.

Thus, Zhan Wuya was the restriction who brought anxiety to Ji Wuxin's heart. As long as he existed, she couldn't act as she pleased and couldn't obtain complete grasp of all the resources of the War God Temple.

It was the same for Zhan Wuya as well. Ji Wuxin was a restriction placed upon him by War God Temple.

"Don't worry, there will be a day when you will see that I'm the only representative of War God Temple."

At the instant Zhan Wuya turned around, Ji Wuxin quickly withdrew her gaze and moved away from Li Yunmu's side after dropping her sentence.
