Chapter 225: Exploring the Astral Cave, Giant Abyssal Demon Worm! (Subscribe, monthly ticket!)
Hiss!
The star monster with an insect head and a snake body let out an unpleasant roar, raised its sharp insect limbs, and charged at the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers.
Without Lu Feng's orders, the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers went straight forward and fought with the insect-headed snake monster.
With blazing flames and heavy punches, the Fire Dragon Taoist soldier directly crushed the insect-headed snake monster.
Compared with the Fire Dragon Taoist Soldiers who were all first-level, the insect-headed snake monsters, whose overall strength was only equivalent to that of a high-level wizard apprentice, were as brittle as paper. Their proud bodies and insect limbs were quickly torn to pieces by the Fire Dragon Taoist Soldiers' sharp claws.
This action was like poking a monster's nest. A strange roar came from the depths of the dark cave. The Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers had just cleared out this wave of insect-headed snake monsters when the next wave followed. There were even other star monsters that came out from the other end of the cave and besieged Lu Feng and others together with the insect-headed snake monsters.
Fire dragon armor! Kill!
The Fire Dragon Dao soldiers were divided into two groups. The burning red divine fire on their bodies condensed into fire dragon armor that covered their bodies. Their momentum suddenly increased, like a solid wall of iron and steel, protecting Lu Feng and Novi in the team.
As the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers fought bravely, Lu Feng felt the malicious intent surrounding him from all directions, making him feel as if wherever he stood was enemy territory.
"Is this cave alive?" Lu Feng even had such a feeling.
After asking Novi, Novi observed the insect-headed snake monsters killed by the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers, trying to find some information from their shapes.
Novi had limited knowledge in his mind, and it took him a lot of effort to barely identify that these monsters were a kind of star monsters called Abyss Demon Worms, which mostly appeared in the star world by the sea and were said to be the followers of some sea monsters.
"Sir, maybe we have something big in this star world."
Novi observed the number of the abyss demon worms and said with a somewhat grim expression.
"Do these bugs have backers? Then I have to make some arrangements. It's better to fight on our own territory!"
Hearing that there are people behind these sea abyss monsters, Lu Feng looked at the insect monsters that continuously emerged from the depths of the cave, frowned slightly, and temporarily gave up the idea of continuing exploration.
Although Lu Feng is not afraid of fighting, he does not want to fall into meaningless danger.
After thinking for a while, a piece of jade-white root stretched out from Lu Feng's body. Lu Feng urged the new energy ancient tree seedling to separate a piece of root, which took root directly in the dark cave soil under his feet.
Under Novi's surprised gaze, a lush, vibrant tree suddenly emerged from beside Lu Feng, spreading a lush shade in the dark cave.
Before Novi could observe carefully,
A lush green light bloomed from the green tree beside Lu Feng, forming a life halo that spread out, covering the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the Abyss Demon Worms, as well as Lu Feng and the other man, and carved out a territory of their own in the dark and humid cave.
In an instant, the air in the dark and damp cave became fresh, and the damp, strange and smelly smell was completely purified by the green trees.
The flames on the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers enveloped in the emerald green light suddenly became several degrees brighter, and the claws that hammered the Abyss Demon Worms became even more powerful.
"What a great tree! My Lord is so great!"
Enshrouded in the light of the green tree, Novi felt a lot more comfortable. Appreciating the benefits of it, he praised it generously.
Lu Feng ignored Novi's flattery and looked towards the place where the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers were fighting with the Abyss Demon Worms.
The corpses of the Abyss Demon Worms were scattered all over the ground there. The Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers were busy fighting and couldn't deal with them. At this time, as soon as the energy-absorbing ancient tree branched out, its newly grown roots immediately rushed to the battlefield, drilled out of the cave's soil, and inserted tiny roots into the corpses of the Abyss Demon Worms.
In just a few breaths, the corpse of a huge sea abyss demon worm was completely devoured and absorbed by the offspring of the energy-absorbing ancient tree.
The swallowed energy is transported back to the branches of the ancient tree seedlings through the roots. Most of it is used to strengthen the branches of the ancient tree seedlings, and a small part is used to maintain the existence of the life halo and ensure the durability and endurance of the Fire Dragon Taoist Soldiers.
From the corpse of the abyss demon worm, the offshoots of the energy-absorbing ancient tree seedlings also absorbed a rich astral energy.
The Sea Abyss Demon Worm is at the level of a high-level wizard apprentice, and its strength is not weaker than that of ordinary people. There is a lot of star energy in his body, which is absorbed by the branches of the ancient tree seedlings, accumulated and sent into the Qingmu Spiritual Realm, and can also contribute to Lu Feng's creation of his own star realm.
As the young branches of the ancient trees emerged, the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers, blessed by the aura of life, fought more and more bravely.
The abyss demon insects that continuously emerged from the depths of the dark cave were killed one after another like wheat being cut, and their fallen corpses were fully utilized by the offspring of energy-absorbing ancient trees.
"What kind of star realm have we arrived in? Where do all these insect monsters come from?!"
Lu Feng saw that he had killed a lot of them, but still didn't see the tide of sea abyss demon insects stop, so he shook his head speechlessly.
If an ordinary wizard from the Western Regions had the misfortune to come here, he would definitely not be able to hold out for long under the siege of seemingly endless sea demon insects.
"Unfortunately, such an attack is useless to me! The insect swarm, haha, it's just that not enough insects are killed! As long as the killing speed is increased, no matter how many there are, they will not be enough to kill!" Lu Feng chuckled and said disdainfully.
Afterwards, he continued to recruit villagers from the Qingmu Spirit Realm.
The first group was the villagers who practiced the Wu Earth Mountain Treasure Seal magic. As soon as they came out, they activated their magic power, took tools and dug up the stone walls of the surrounding caves to expand the surrounding space.
The cave that Lu Feng entered was not very big. He could reach the top of the cave by jumping, and there was only enough space for three or four people to walk side by side on both sides.
Such a small space is not enough for Lu Feng to fully utilize the troops in his hands and speed up the killing of the sea abyss demon insects.
In addition to the villagers who expanded the cave space, there were also villagers who learned other earthly immortal techniques. They were summoned by Lu Feng from the Qingmu Spiritual Realm one after another to join the team that slaughtered the Abyss Demon Worms. The growing team continued to improve the efficiency of slaughtering the Abyss Demon Worms.
With the nourishment of the corpses of the abyss demon worms, the aura of the young branches of the ancient tree became stronger and stronger.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed, and the offshoots of the ancient tree saplings already had the power of a first-level wizard and once again developed a permanent halo.
Suppressing aura.
Halo is just a name Lu Feng gave to the power displayed by the branching of the ancient tree seedlings, for the convenience of description.
It is possible that the offshoots of the ancient tree seedlings absorbed more star energy and evolved the gains that Lu Feng needed based on his needs.
The suppression aura is specifically designed for star monsters. Any star monster that enters the aura range will be weakened by 30% as long as its strength is not greater than that of the ancient tree seedling. If its strength is stronger than that of the ancient tree seedling, the power of the suppression aura will decrease gradually.
The offshoots of the ancient tree seedlings have reached the first stage. The Abyss Demon Worm, which has only the strength of a high-level wizard's apprentice, is directly restrained by the suppression aura.
After suppressing the aura, Lu Feng's men's killing efficiency on the battlefield suddenly increased a lot.
At this time, after being transformed by the villagers of Qingmu Lingjing, the cave that Lu Feng had just entered had become a small battle fortress.
The villagers who practiced the Wu Earth Mountain Treasure Seal Art were the best at engineering projects. Moving soil and building cities were just a piece of cake for them. Even the caves in the star realm could not stop them from building cities.
The top of the cave was raised and the surrounding areas of the cave were dug out. The villagers smoothed the excavated soil and rocks and used them as bricks and stones to build a small fortress on the spot.
As the space expanded, Lu Feng released more villagers and his killing efficiency continued to increase.
As Lu Feng killed more and more sea abyss demon insects, he felt that the malice directed at him was growing stronger and stronger, like a volcano that had been accumulating for a long time and could erupt at any time.
"See how long you can endure!"
On the top of the small fortress, Lu Feng nonchalantly enjoyed the service of his maids and leisurely watched the battle between the villagers and the abyss demon insects.
After the space was expanded, the cold and damp atmosphere in the dark cave space dissipated a lot.
In the constant battles, the villagers under Lu Feng are also growing slowly. They were all outstanding talents that Lu Feng introduced to Qingmu Spiritual Realm from various places. It would be a waste of their talents to let them work in seclusion in the spiritual realm and practice with peace of mind while farming.
Now, in this unknown cave in the star realm, through high-intensity battles with the abyss demon worms, they put what they learned into practice, and their overall mental state was quietly changing, changing in the good direction that Lu Feng expected.
Seeing their growth, Lu Feng was very pleased.
As for the Novi Mage who was by his side at the beginning, his heart had already gone numb after seeing the fierce subordinates that Lu Feng kept sending out.
He had also rested in the village of Qingmu Lingjing before. How come he didn't realize that these seemingly ordinary villagers were so powerful!
After realizing this, Mage Novi immediately took an active part in the battle to kill the Abyss Demon Worms.
He planned to work hard to improve himself. As a Western Region wizard, he still practiced in the Ghost Castle's Mind Maze. Novi also had some means of dealing with and utilizing the monsters in the astral realm.
During these days, with Novi's efforts, his Ghost Castle Mental Maze was also rebuilt a little bit. Taking advantage of the strength of the Fire Dragon Taoist Soldiers, Novi also seized the opportunity to enslave several Abyss Demon Insects as his thugs.
It’s no wonder that the quality of the Abyss Demon Worms is really high. At least Novi feels that these Abyss Demon Worms are much stronger than the star monsters he enslaved before, and they are much more ferocious in combat.
Unfortunately, these Abyss Demon Worms have low intelligence and only basic fighting instincts, otherwise Novi would have to find a way to transform and upgrade the Abyss Demon Worms he enslaved into modern combat units that can operate steam-powered armor.
To Novi's regret, the battle to kill the Abyss Demon Worms has never stopped.
The sleepless nights lasted for three days and three nights.
After Lu Feng's sixth batch of Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers took over and appeared on the scene, the Abyss Demon Worms that swarmed out from the depths of the dark cave finally showed a sign of stopping. The existence behind the Abyss Demon Worms seemed to have noticed the heavy losses of its own Abyss Demon Worms and realized that something was wrong, so it weakened the offensive of the insect tide.
Sure enough, less than two hours after this slight change occurred, with a low and sharp hissing sound, the Abyss Demon Worm slowly retreated back into the dark cave, leaving behind a pile of corpses.
Seeing the insect tide retreat, the slightly tired villagers in Lu Feng's small fortress burst into cheers.
Although the sea abyss demon worms are easy to kill, the long battle still makes the villagers feel a little tired.
But the villagers didn't feel happy for long.
Boom!
The ground of the small fortress began to shake slightly, and under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, gravel suddenly began to fall from the ceiling of the cave.
A thick, tens-meter-long insect limb suddenly penetrated into the cave from the top of the cave, violently destroying the surrounding cave walls. The hard cave soil and rocks were as fragile as tofu in front of the insect limb, and it didn't take long for a big hole to be torn open by the insect limb.
Through the big hole dug by the insect limbs, a sea abyss demon insect with a body size expanded nearly a hundred times appeared in Lu Feng's sight.
"What a huge sea abyss demon worm!" Lu Feng exclaimed, and with a wave of his hand, he directly collected the villagers and fire dragon soldiers in the small fortress.
After killing the other person's followers, the big BOSS has appeared. It's time for Lu Feng to take action to defeat the BOSS.
He shrunk the branch of the ancient tree seedling, caught it in his hand and connected it to the energy-absorbing ancient tree seedling in the Qingmu Spiritual Realm. Suddenly, the small tree in Lu Feng's hand shone brightly.
Lu Feng soared into the sky, and in a few breaths he passed through the hole dug by the giant sea abyss demon worm and arrived in front of the giant sea abyss demon worm.
Roar!
Seeing Lu Feng appear, the giant sea abyss demon worm let out an unpleasant hissing sound, and swung its limbs in front of it, like two sharp swords cutting through the sky, slashing towards Lu Feng.
There was no intention of using courtesy before force or greeting at all.
For the low-IQ star monsters, encountering the enemy is just a word.
Dry!
Before the insect limbs arrived, they had already rolled up a fierce gale that blew towards Lu Feng. Lu Feng went with the wind, and the five-colored canopy condensed by the five elements of spiritual veins above his head eliminated the damage caused by the gale. At the same time, he flew in the wind and nimbly avoided the insect limbs waving by the sea abyss demon insect.
At the same time, the small tree in Lu Feng's hand shone brightly, the suppression aura was activated, and a ray of emerald green light fell directly on the giant sea abyss demon worm.
After the branches of the ancient tree seedling were reconnected with Lu Feng's ancient tree seedling, Lu Feng activated the suppression aura, which greatly increased its power. It fell on the giant sea abyss demon worm and directly reduced the aura of the sea abyss demon worm by 30%.
Although the giant sea abyss demon worm is powerful, its strength is still not greater than the ancient tree seedling that Lu Feng raised in the Qingmu Spirit Realm.
If the young ancient tree that he had fed with good food and drink was surpassed by this random giant abyss demon worm, Lu Feng would cry to death.
The giant sea demon worm sensed the weakness of his body and became furious. He launched another attack. This time, he did not use his limb cannon to kill the mosquito. Instead, he retracted his abdomen and spewed out a large amount of black poisonous mist.
The highly toxic mist was incredibly corrosive. Even the soil and rocks in the cave turned into a pool of dirty water when they came into contact with the poisonous mist. Even the suppression halo activated by Lu Feng had a tendency to weaken its emerald green glow under the corrosion of the poisonous mist.
"Such a strong poison!"
Lu Feng was amazed at the poisonous mist of the Abyss Demon Worm. He waved his hand and a hole appeared in his hand. A suction force came from the hole.
Under the influence of this suction force, all the poisonous mist that was sprayed towards Lu Feng was absorbed by Lu Feng into the Qingmu Spiritual Realm and accumulated in a damaged small spiritual realm, waiting to be processed later.
