"Knock knock knock!"

Early in the morning, Luo Zheng was woken up by the sound of fierce war drums. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When I opened the door, I was immediately infected by the atmosphere in front of me.

The imperial army, a small team of 100 people, was leaving the city in batches in the drums of war.

Later, Lu Xiao found Luo Zheng, sorted out the team, and also received the task to go out of the city to hunt knife insects.

The front of Dragon Castle is hundreds of miles away, and it is the main battlefield where humans fight against sword insects.

Along the way, you can see the corpses of knives and insects everywhere, throwing them on both sides of the road, piled up as high as a hill.

Luo Zheng noticed that around the corpse mountain of those knife insects, there were still many people looking down for something, and from time to time they stabbed the corpses of the knife insects.

Those people turned out to be mortals without refining their bodies.

These mortals with no strength appeared in such a dangerous place, and just an ordinary knife insect could kill them.

Seeing this scene, Luo Zheng was puzzled: "Those civilians are incapacitated, risking their lives to walk out of Dragon Castle and wander outside, aren't they afraid of death?"

When Lu Xiao heard Luo Zheng's question, he immediately smiled and said: "Death, of course they are afraid of death, these guys are killed a lot by knife insects every year, and a few fish that slipped through the net rushed over two days ago, killing more than a dozen civilians." ”

"But what are they risking their lives to get out of the city for?" Luo Zheng asked puzzled.

When Lu Xiao heard this, he smiled and said, "This matter is still caused by your Qingyun Sect. ”

Seeing that Luo Zheng was puzzled, Meng Weijun explained: "Our Qingyun Sect counts the number of sword insects hunted, relying on the crystal nucleus on the chest of the knife insects. The crystal nucleus in the corpses of these knife insects in front of them has been dug up, but there are always fish that have slipped through the net, and these people are out to try their luck, hoping to find a crystal nucleus, and there are many people in Dragon Castle who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Zheng suddenly realized.

The crystal nucleus of twenty sword insects can be exchanged for one Qingyun Sect point, and one point is equal to two spars.

Although it is impossible for these civilians to exchange for spars, but to be able to exchange for those real money and silver that is like dung for warriors, it is enough for them to live a comfortable and prosperous life, no wonder they are willing to risk their lives and go out of Dragon Castle to find those fish that have slipped through the net.

In the midst of the lush rainforest, there is silence at the moment.

Every year, after the insect tide starts, all the other demon beasts either scatter or sneak underground, and like humans, those demon beasts are just as difficult to resist the insect tide army.

There was no sound around except for the sound of the trees swaying.

Luo Zheng and the others were becoming more and more cautious at the moment.

Knife insects are emerald green all over, good at camouflage and surprise attacks, and often inadvertently give humans a fatal blow.

At the moment when a bush was opened, two blades swung towards Luo Zheng's neck with a "boom".

Luo Zheng sneered, and the purple qi all over his body suddenly burst out, and he stubbornly pinched the blade of one of the blades with his hand.

With a "click", it was broken by Luo Zheng, and at the same time, his other fist smashed the head of the knife insect to pieces.

A knife insect suddenly appeared, and immediately raised everyone's vigilance to the highest, and they did not breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Luo Zheng solve it so neatly, and at the same time they all remembered the proverb: When you find a knife worm, there are actually at least two thousand knife worms behind it.

"Flutter!"

The woods in front of him seemed to come to life, and countless knife insects seemed to appear out of thin air, surrounding everyone.

"Kill!"

At this time, Luo Zheng had only this one thought in his heart.

In Luo Zheng's eyes, these knife insects are points, and they are the tickets to Purgatory Mountain.

After entering the Essence Refining Realm, Luo Zheng's control of the True Qi in his body rose to another level, although he couldn't release the True Qi like a half-step Innate or possess the True Yuan like the Innate Secret Realm. However, in the Essence Refining Realm, the control of true qi has reached a very mature state.

Purple qi overflowed from Luo Zheng's body like silk threads, and then turned into a surging fist force, smashing into the head of the knife insect.

"Give me death!"

Two knife insects flew from the left and right sides, and the sharp blades pointed directly at Luo Zheng's body.

Luo Zheng did not dodge or dodge, his fists were swung out at the same time, and the fist intent of the Rosewood Fist was exerted to the extreme by him.

"Poof!"

Two muffled sounds came, and the abdomen of the two knife insects was directly shattered by Luo Zheng, and the demon beast crystal nucleus hidden in their chests rolled down directly.

After killing these two knife insects, he didn't have time to pick up the crystal nucleus on the ground, and remembering the "whirring" wind on his back, Luo Zheng almost subconsciously lowered his head to avoid the attack of the knife insect, but turned around and swung a punch towards the abdomen of the knife insect.

"Rosewood is strong!"

The abdomen of the knife worm is their hardest place, and Luo Zheng has suffered before.

However, the "red sandalwood inch" has the effect of fighting cattle across the mountains, and the power of this punch directly penetrates the thick carapace of the knife insect's abdomen, and penetrates deep into the interior to cause damage.

"Puff ......"

With seven muffled sounds, the abdomen of this knife insect was exploded by Luo Zheng's surging fist power, and all its vitality was destroyed, and Shuai fell down again.

One by one, the knife insects rushed over, Luo Zheng was not afraid at all, and fought steadily.

Every time he threw a punch, a knife worm would fall in front of him, and in a short time, the corpses of those knife worms were piled up like a small mountain.

While fighting, Luo Zheng noticed that the others were also fighting desperately.

At this moment, Meng Weijun is holding a sword in his hand, and he is walking in a leisurely walk, whenever a knife insect approaches, his long sword is displayed, and a black and red sword light shoots away, and suddenly pierces a knife worm, worthy of being a master of the innate secret realm, and the sword condensed with true yuan is so sharp!

Yang Tai and Zhao Xuyong are also extremely fierce, these two people have extremely rich combat experience, they are not the first time to participate in the task of hunting knife insects, they are very familiar with the habits and weaknesses of knife insects, and every attack is the weakness of knife insects.

The Qinglan team was under the command of Lu Xiao, and they formed a formation to deal with the impact of the knife insects.

"Shield!"

"Gun stab!"

"Bow shot!"

Although the strength of those warriors in the Qinglan team was far inferior to the four people of the Qingyun Sect, they were not afraid of the impact of the sword insects under the command of Lu Xiao.

"Click!"

Another knife insect was tornized off its forelimbs by Luo Zheng's strong force, and then Luo Zheng's hand hit the head of the knife insect hard, and the fragile insect head was instantly ignited.

After killing this knife insect, there were no other living knife insects around Luo Zheng.

Meng Weijun and the others, as well as a few sporadic knife insects on Lu Xiao's side, were quickly eliminated by them.

Looking at the sword insects piled up like a hill in front of him, Luo Zheng roughly estimated that there were about sixty sword insects, so that he could obtain more than sixty demon beast crystal nuclei, and this was only three points.

The points of this Qingyun Sect are too difficult to earn, and he has worked hard for so long, and he can only exchange three points, Luo Zheng can only peel off the crystal nucleus of the demon beast while smiling bitterly.

After all, 100 points would require him to kill 20,000 knife insects!

There are only 20,000 knife insects, and with their own ability, it only takes half a month to complete this task and collect 100 points!

It took half a month of hard work to be able to meet his sister, and this price was not great! Not to mention that Luo Zheng was able to experience in battle and increase his strength!

Thinking of this, Luo Zheng worked harder to pull out the demon beast crystal nucleus from the body of the knife insect one by one.

After killing the first wave of knife insects, the group continued to advance along the outskirts of the jungle.

Along the way, Luo Zheng was very active in hunting knife insects, and the number of demon beast crystal nuclei also increased one by one.

"Another knife worm is coming!"

After these waves of hunting, Luo Zheng quickly became familiar with the habits and sounds of knife insects, but with the sound of the wind blowing in front of him, Luo Zheng could distinguish them.

Seeing the jungle not far away swaying, a large wave of knife insects swooped in on him.

But this wave of knife bugs is different.

In that wave of knife insects, there were dozens of purple knife insects.

"Knife Worm Leader!"

Seeing those sword insect leaders, Luo Zheng's eyes flashed slightly.

The leader of the knife insect is much more valuable than the knife worm, and each leader of the knife insect can exchange a little point, which is equivalent to killing twenty knife insects.

But relatively speaking, it is much more difficult to kill the leader of a knife insect than a knife insect.

"Be careful, those knife insect leaders are highly poisonous, don't be stabbed by the poisonous needles on their bodies!" Lu Xiao couldn't help but remind, in fact, except for Luo Zheng, everyone else knew a lot about knife insects, and this was tantamount to saying to Luo Zheng.

Each sword insect leader belongs to a fourth-level demon beast, and its strength is equivalent to that of a half-step innate cultivator, and this purple sword insect leader is highly poisonous all over his body, and his body is also covered with spikes, which is very difficult to deal with.

Hearing Lu Xiao's reminder, Luo Zheng's face did not show the slightest fear, but rushed forward first.

The purple sword insect leaders found Luo Zheng in the front, and they made a "squeaking" insect sound in mid-air, and these knife insect leaders were actually communicating with each other!

The biggest difference between the Knife Worm Boss and the ordinary Knife Worm is that they both have intelligence and can communicate.

Noticing that Luo Zheng rushed out alone, the leaders of the six or seven sword insects surrounded Luo Zheng in a fan shape after the exchange.

"Oh, Brother Luo Zheng, you are reckless, you are surrounded by the leader of the sword worms!" Lu Xiao shouted.

"Let's go and save him," Yang Tai and Zhao Xuyong said and were about to rush forward, after the battle, everyone also got to know each other a little, and they also became temporary combat partners with each other, of course they didn't want Luo Zheng to be strangled by those few knife and insect leaders.

Only Meng Weijun stood motionless, in his eyes, Luo Zheng was not such a reckless person, once he was really reckless, it was because he had the strength to deal with it.

So he didn't move, he wanted to see how Luo Zheng could deal with the six knife insect leaders at once.
