Chapter 225: Insect Tide (I)

The team continued to move forward, going deeper into the cave. The cave was damp, but it did not prevent them from lighting torches, and the dark cave became brighter under the torches.

The rock wall was full of pits and some places were covered with mosses, green, blue, and purple, which were very beautiful. However, on the mosses, dark red stains could be seen from time to time, and a faint fishy smell filled the cave.

Seeing these dark red colors, the pedestrians felt a little heavier in their hearts, "These are the bloodstains left by the previous attacks of the three major sects."

At the beginning, the three major sects launched a massive attack and their hostility was too obvious, so they suffered a huge blow. However, this time, the team of only a few thousand people has only encountered a four-clawed fire python, and more than a dozen people were killed or injured.

Shi Yan walked beside Long Er, looking around. He remembered that there should be a small section of road nearby with holes all over the rock wall. Some holes were even connected to the road next door. Shi Yan planned to escape, so he couldn't just walk away in a swagger. It would be best to use the holes to escape.

"Brother Xu, what are you looking at? Is there something wrong?" Qian Da saw Shi Yan looking around and became suspicious, so he asked softly.

Shi Yan smiled and shook his head, "No, I'm just a little curious. After all, this is a dragon cave, but there's nothing special about it at the moment!"

"Isn't it? Dragon Cave, Dragon Cave, it is the place where dragons lived after all, how can it be so shabby?" Qian Da nodded.

Suddenly, Shi Yan's eyes lit up. There was a little reflection next to a rock in front of him. Wasn't that the reflection of moisture? As he got closer, the reflection area became larger and larger, and a small hole was revealed.

Shi Yan's heart jumped with joy. It seemed that they had reached the section full of holes. Shi Yan secretly tugged at Long Er's sleeve and whispered, "Get ready. Wait for my command and we'll go together."

Long Er nodded, "Okay."

Shi Yan and Long Er walked nonchalantly, and walked to the sides of the team. Due to the dim vision, everyone's attention was all on the front, so the two people's small movements did not attract others' attention. "Let's go!" Shi Yan pulled his hand, squatted, and disappeared on the spot. He was like a snake, quickly turning around the long hole and coming to the other side. Long Er followed, and the two returned to the passage they had left at the beginning.

Shi Yan smiled bitterly and patted his head, "If I had known I would have to come back, I would not have gone out."

Long Er looked at Shi Yan and smiled, saying, "Knowing in advance is priceless. If I had known in advance, many things wouldn't be that exciting. Life is exciting enough."

Shi Yan was stunned. He didn't expect Long Er to say such a thing. In his perception, Long Er has always been a shy girl next door, but after saying this, she seemed like a wise man.

However, what he said does make sense. Shi Yan smiled and said, "That's a very unique insight. It's enough for a person to live a wonderful life. If life is not exciting at all, then what's the point?"

The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

The two of them moved forward quickly and came to the ramp again. Ding-dong sounds came from the passage on the right. It seemed that the team was fighting with some creatures again.

But Shi Yan was surprised. This time, just like the last time, he didn't encounter any spirit beasts along the way. He asked Long Er about this question, but Long Er was a little flustered and his language organization was a little confusing, but generally speaking, he could still understand it. The general meaning was that we were lucky. The vision was dim, and Shi Yan didn't see Long Er's expression.

Shi Yan, "It seems that our luck is unusually good." Seeing that Shi Yan did not ask any further questions, Long Er put his hands on his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked around and asked Long Er, "Do you know which way to go next?"

Long Er calmed down, thought for a moment, and said, "It should be over there. When we came out before, there was a slope next to it. Let's go there and take a look first."

Shi Yan nodded and said, "Okay." Then they ran towards the slope together.

After walking for nearly half an hour, Shi Yan heard a buzzing and noisy sound in his ears. Not far to the right turn in front, Shi Yan and Long Er looked at each other. In the dim light, their eyes were like stars, shining brightly.

"Where there are dragon beard worms, you should stay closer to the mother worm!"

However, Shi Yan had never expected that there would be so many dragon beard worms. Everywhere he looked, there were dragon beard worms.

Looking at the dragon whisker worms that were like mountains and seas, Shi Yan felt a chill all over his body.

He imprinted the route into his notebook and gave it to the puppet pigeon, asking it to send it to Mo Chou. The pigeon flapped its wings and flew up, and the sound in the empty cave was like the sound of bangs.

The sound attracted the attention of the dragon beard insects, and they flew in groups, buzzing towards the source of the sound, which was the direction of the pigeon.

"Not good! If the pigeon is destroyed, then this trip will be in vain!" Shi Yan thought to himself. He suddenly released the flames to protect his body, sealing the entrance of the cave and stopping the dragon beard worms. However, there were too many dragon beard worms, and many of them flew straight through the flames.

"Xiao Kong, burn those guys!" Shi Yan shouted, and a glow appeared on his body. Xiao Kong flew out with a long stick in his hand and wearing golden armor. After receiving the order, nine fireballs spun around him, chasing the dragon beard worm. After a while, the dragon beard worm was either dead or injured, and the pigeon finally flew away.

The target was gone, the dragon whisker worm turned around and set its sights on Shi Yanlong'er and Xiaokong, and flew over with a squeaking sound.

Shi Yan took a deep breath, picked up Long Er, took Xiao Kong with him, spread his flaming wings, and flew to the opposite side.

Long Er's eyes had the same look, emitting a faint golden light, but when he looked at Shi Yan's serious expression, he shook his head, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they had returned to normal.

"Fly in that direction! There is a space rift there that can help us kill some of them!" Long Er shouted, pointing in a direction.

Shi Yan looked over there and saw a crack with a flashing white light. It was the only place in the entire space where there were no dragon beard worms. Shi Yan did not think about why there was a space crack here, because the situation was too urgent, and this was originally a domain gate crack, so he did not think much about it.

There were so many dragon beard worms that Shi Yan took the opportunity to adjust his direction and looked back. As a result, his forehead was immediately covered with cold sweat that even the strong wind could not dry it away.

After Shi Yan, who was spewing flames, a swarm of locusts like a tide almost blocked the entire field of vision. The blackness covered the eyes and there were nothing but bugs. The sound of collision and flapping wings made Shi Yan wonder if he would have tinnitus if he continued like this. Shi Yan took this opportunity to note down a few special positions, because he found that the dragon beard worms in those positions were obviously different. Their shells were more exaggerated, their bodies were larger, and there were faint runes on their wings. They looked like they were the leaders. The rest of the dragon beard worms followed behind them. If it weren't for Shi Yan's amazing eyesight and memory, he might not be able to tell the difference.

Shi Yan rushed towards the space crack. Xiao Kong was on Shi Yan's shoulder, constantly waving a long stick. The long stick formed a flaming stick in his hand. Sparks flew when he swung it, burning piece after piece of dragon beard worms.

Shi Yan did not notice that Xiao Kong's flame was a little different from usual. It turned out that Xiao Kong's forehead flame was red human fire. After upgrading and evolving, it was at most two-flavor true fire, far less powerful than the flame with a slight golden glow at this moment. The power of this golden flame was stronger than the three-flavor true fire, and it was close to Shi Yan's Golden Crow Fire. Not only the flame, but also Xiao Kong's body had a slight change. Two golden hairs appeared on his forehead, which were difficult to find among the white hair.

But at this moment Shi Yan has no time to observe Xiao Kong, life is at stake!

Flying towards the space crack, Shi Yan suddenly accelerated, his speed more than doubled. Seeing this, the dragon beard worms behind him also accelerated, their speed even faster than Shi Yan. The distance was getting smaller and smaller, and the dragon beard worms were getting closer and closer to Shi Yan!

Just ten meters away from the space crack, Shi Yan suddenly pulled his body upwards, turned at a right angle, and his body suddenly rose from the ground and went straight upwards.

It's so fast, everything happens in the blink of an eye.

The dragon whisker worms behind him had no idea of ​​Shi Yan's cunning, and they all crashed into the space crack. The space crack spewed out a large amount of space turbulence, which instantly crushed a large number of dragon whisker worms.

Shi Yan saw that his plan had worked, and smiled triumphantly, "Let you fight with me, Master Shi!"

However, although there were many dead dragon beard worms, they were just a drop in the ocean compared to this huge base number.

Shi Yan frowned. This was too dangerous. Although the dragon beard insect was stupid, it would not be fooled twice in the same place. It would be even more difficult to deal with it next time.

Shi Yan said to Xiao Kong as he flew, "Xiao Kong, protect Long Er."

Long Er sensed Shi Yan's thoughts and guessed what he was thinking, and looked at Shi Yan.

"What do you want to do? Don't do anything stupid. There are too many guys! Don't be reckless!" When Long Er saw that Shi Yan actually wanted to go up, he immediately stopped him.

"It's okay, I just want to see if my guess is right! Don't worry, I will catch up soon." Before he finished speaking, Shi Yan suddenly threw Xiaokong and Long'er towards the direction of the passage, while he himself put on a suit of armor and continued flying.

But when Shi Yan leaped up, his whole body was set on fire, and a set of armor was covered on his body. Then his body was instantly swallowed up by the earth dragon beard worm that was chasing him at high speed!

"Brother Shi! Brother Shi!" Long Er shouted, "Brother Shi..."

But he was no longer there. Xiaokong patted Long'er, pointed at himself, then pointed at the insect swarm, and his meaning was very clear, "I have a contract with him, I know exactly what his situation is, he is safe now."

Long Er understood Xiao Kong's actions and finally felt relieved.

Suddenly, one hand sprayed flames towards the sky, and his whole body fell with acceleration and hit the ground directly.

This was just the result of his swinging the sword once. Those dragon whisker worms were actually unable to make any effective attacks. If the worms at the back still wanted to attack, the worms at the front would just want to distance themselves and attack. Most of them were pushed to Shi Yan's front by the swarming worms at the back, and then chopped down by Shi Yan's sword.

Shi Yan's flying sword was accompanied by explosive flames and a burning effect. These two attack methods could instantly blast the rushing insects back. Then they rushed up again and were blasted away again. Blood and body fragments were mixed together in the sky, but they could not get close to Shi Yan's body at all. The invisible force field separated Shi Yan's body from those things.

However, after Shi Yan killed so many of them, he discovered that the dragon whisker worms that were chopped off were not actually dead!
