If it is divided according to the level of demon beasts in the Eastern Regions, these ordinary sword insects should be counted as third-order demon beasts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the biggest difference between the sword insects and other third-order demon beasts was that they could never appear only one.

"When you find a knife worm, there are actually at least two thousand knife worms behind it!"

This sentence is widely circulated in the south, and although it is exaggerated, it is enough to prove the large number of knife insects.

In the face of such a huge number of sword insects, let alone a half-step innate cultivator, even if it is a powerhouse of the innate secret realm, it may be enough to deal with it.

At the moment, there are also a lot of disciples in the Qingyun Sect, and their strength is also very strong, and in just a moment, hundreds of sword insects have been killed.

The corpses of those knife insects were like a circular hill, slowly piling up around the falling flying chariots.

Although everyone killed a lot of knife insects, there were more and more knife insects besieging them, and this thing was simply endless!

"Ahh

Someone screamed, that is, one person was too radical and rushed into the encirclement of the knife insects, and the others wanted to save it, but it was too late, almost instantly, the person was wrapped in a large group of knife insects, frantically gnawing, and when those knife insects dispersed, the person had already been eaten by the knife insects, and there were no bones left.

Seeing this scene, many people's scalps were numb.

No one wants to be hungry for bugs.

But the knife insects in front of you are endless, but once everyone's strength is exhausted, they will still end up like this.

Everyone's hearts were gloomy, and their momentum was obviously low.

But at this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Everyone fights together, if you don't fight, you will die! If you fight, there is still a way to live!"

"Poof-" A small purple True Yuan arrow shot out, instantly piercing more than a dozen knife insects.

"Bang!" The violently burning flames exploded, instantly burning half of the sky, and the power of the real fire was extraordinary, instantly burning dozens of knife insects, and the air was full of the smell of burnt and roasted.

The powerhouses of the Innate Secret Realm began to exert their strength.

Seeing this, everyone was also deeply encouraged, and they also began to work hard.

Luo Zheng's figure is constantly shuttling among the knife insects, although the power of "Purple Sandalwood Fist" is not outstanding, but with his own strength and physical advantages, he also killed seven or eight knife insects in a short time.

In the midst of this fierce battle, someone screamed again.

"Knife Worm Leader!"

Luo Zheng and the others looked up, only to see that in the green, mixed with dozens of hundreds of purple knife insects, the leader of these knife insects was twice as large as ordinary knife insects, and his body was also covered with spikes, and his appearance was even more hideous and terrifying.

That's the Knife Worm Leader?

The strength of the leader of the knife insects is far stronger than that of ordinary knife insects, not to mention that there are hundreds of them!

These knife insects in front of him are already very difficult to deal with, and now they have to face these even more powerful knife insect leaders.

Those knife insect leaders swept down from the sky, letting out a piercing scream, and in addition, more knife insects continued to replenish themselves.

The hearts of the people were gloomy. Are you all going to die here today?

Who would have thought of such a consequence at the moment of boarding the giant flying chariot?

In fact, hunting knife insects, although it is quite a difficult thing, but this kind of thing rarely happens.

At this moment, in the jungle next to it, an object flew with a "whoosh" sound, and it was a piece of bamboo that had been ignited.

One end of the bamboo was on fire, and when it fell to the ground, smoke billowed from the other.

Luo Zheng sniffed and smelled that the smoke contained a strong smell of medicine.

Immediately after that, more bamboo was thrown in.

Each bamboo was set on fire, and smoke came out of the other end.

Soon, the scene was enveloped in smoke.

Strange to say, those knife insects seemed to be extremely afraid of these thick smokes, and when they found the smoke, they spread their wings and flew into the sky, constantly circling around, and did not dare to rush into the smoke.

This is true even for the more powerful Blade Worm leaders.

Although the smoke is also very uncomfortable for those who smoke it, it is still within the scope of patience, and at least it can finally rest for a while.

Then everyone saw that the forest shook for a while, and many people came out of it, all of whom were dressed in uniform clothes, each carrying a few bamboo knots behind him, with serious expressions and unified actions.

"Imperial Army!"

After many Qingyun Sect disciples saw these people, they all showed relaxed expressions on their faces, and they were finally saved.

The imperial army, that is, the soldiers of the empire, every year when the insect tide occurs, the imperial capital will also dispatch a considerable part of the imperial army to suppress the insect tide.

Compared with the disciples of the Qingyun Sect, the actions of these imperial armies are unified and the rules are strict, although the strength of the individual may not be comparable to the disciples of the Qingyun Sect, but the overall strength should not be underestimated.

After those imperial troops came out, they lined up neatly in a line, and out of the middle came a young man with a shaved plank, and the young man said with a serious face: "I am Lu Xiao, the centurion of the Qinglan team! The disciples of the Qingyun Sect listen well, if you want to live, follow us!"

When the disciples of the Qingyun Sect heard this, they didn't move their steps, but they all aimed their eyes at the piles of corpses of sword insects.

The disciples of the Qingyun Sect came all the way here, not for a vacation, they were there to earn points.

According to the regulations of Qingyun Sect, killing twenty sword insects will give you another point, and the corpses of these knife insects in front of them are all points in their eyes!

But the corpses of the knife insects were so large that it was impossible to drag them back, so the Qingyun Sect stipulated that only the demon beast crystal nucleus on the chest of the knife insect needed to be dug out.

Just now, everyone worked hard and worked hard for so long, and they always had to get some loot in their hands.

But as soon as these imperial troops came out, they let everyone leave with them, and of course some people were unhappy.

In fact, the relationship between the imperial army and the disciples of the Qingyun Sect has not been very harmonious, and they look at each other unpleasantly, and there have even been incidents of group fights.

Someone said to the Lu Xiao, "Can you wait......?

Lu Xiao snorted and said, "I know what you are going to do, but you have thought about it carefully, the army of our reconnaissance sword worms continues to gather in this direction, and the lives of our imperial army are more valuable than the lives of your Qingyun Sect disciples!

When the disciples of Qingyun Sect heard this, they had no choice, and if they were able to save themselves, it was already considered benevolent and righteous, as for their own points, what did they have to do?

So everyone could only follow behind this group of imperial troops.

There are a few powerhouses of the Innate Secret Realm, looking at the insect corpses all over the ground, it seems that they still want to stay and collect some crystal nuclei, with their strong strength, some of them still have a chance to break out alone, but they looked at the increasing number of knife insects in the sky, and finally shook their heads and gave up.

The average strength of this group of emperor troops is actually lower than that of the disciples of the Qingyun Sect, but they have a strange trick to deal with the insect tide.

Just like the bamboo knots they carry behind them, they should be specially made to resist the attack of knives and insects.

Every time they walked out of the road, they lit a bamboo joint, and as long as the smoke came out of the bamboo joint, the knives and insects did not dare to come down and attack the people, but could only hover over their heads.

The imperial army led the way in front without saying a word, but the disciples of the Qingyun Sect had to attack the sword insects in the sky from time to time, attacking those sword insects with sword qi or bows.

Those knife insects were relatively far away and difficult to hit, so whenever they knocked down one or two knife insects, some Qingyun Sect disciples would laugh......

Luo Zheng followed behind, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head.

There are many disciples of Qingyun Sect, although their strength is strong, maybe those soldiers in front of them are not opponents at all.

However, if the whole battle was to be fought, the disciples of the Qingyun Sect would probably be defeated with a single blow, and they would not be the opponents of the imperial army at all.

The discipline is so poor that maybe four or five people can barely cooperate, but when there are too many people, it becomes chaotic.

After advancing for half an hour, they finally walked out of this jungle, crossed a small river under the leadership of the imperial army, and then climbed a hillside, and a city appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"That's Dragon Castle, it's finally here!"

Some sharp-eyed inner disciples had already screamed.

The fortress in front of them was the Dragon Fort cultivated by the Empire, the fortress used to guard the southern frontier, which was the destination of their trip.

Dragon Castle is the most important pass in the south of the Burning Sky Empire, and further south is the endless rainforest.

Luo Zheng once read a book called "Chronicles of Strange Beasts", in which he recorded all the dangerous places in the Eastern Regions.

According to the book, the hundred miles of the tropical rainforest are still safe, and the demon beasts encountered are basically only about three levels, and if you go five hundred miles further, you can meet the fifth-level demon beasts. More than a thousand miles later, all kinds of seventh- and eighth-order high-level demon beasts appeared......

Further inside, there is a world that is difficult for humans to explore.

Every year, many demon beasts run out of the rainforest and break into the Burning Sky Empire for reasons that are not clear to humans.

The role of Dragon Castle is to defend against all kinds of monsters in the rainforest.

Among the many demon beasts, the most troublesome is the knife insect that Luo Zheng encountered before.

As a fortress, the Dragon Castle looks very simple from the outside, neither the city wall nor the moat are decorated, and the only ornament is a huge dragon head sculpture hanging on the head of the Dragon Castle wall.

The dragon head sculpture is all jet black, and its eyes reflect the oily color under the illumination of the light, and it shows its teeth and claws, exuding an incomparably domineering spirit.

Passing under the dragon head sculpture, all the disciples of the Qingyun Sect couldn't help but show a trace of awe.

When Luo Zheng passed by, he stayed for a while, staring at the eyes of this dragon head sculpture, and there was a trace of doubt in his heart.

Because Luo Zheng can feel the "meaning" of this dragon-shaped sculpture, that is, the coercion it exudes.
