Chapter 15: The Swamp Monster

readx;

The monster insects were the size of a fist, looking somewhat like a beetle of the human world, covered in a dark red carapace, and had a three-inch brown needle-like straw around its mouth. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoLong Xiaoyao has read about this strange insect, it is called the red beetle, and it absorbs the energy of other creatures to survive.

Not only is the red beetle extremely defensive, but its straw-shaped mouthparts are sharp and contain toxins, which can paralyze prey that pierced by its mouthparts. According to records, the mouthparts of the tenth-level red beetle can even pose a threat to the immortal treasure, plus it can also spit venom to corrode the magic weapon, making it one of the most difficult poisonous insects to deal with in the swamp area.

However, this red beetle is a low-level poisonous insect and cannot break through the tenth-level limit. There were more than a thousand of these red beetles that Long Xiaoyao encountered, most of them were level 8 or 9, but there were also more than a dozen of them that had reached level 10, if there was no mistake in the record, even the Dharma cultivators of the Taichu Realm would feel tricky when they encountered these red beetles.

The Golden Snake and the Little Fox are now only level 3, and the battle can't help at all, and the huge gap in level is by no means something that can be made up by bloodline quality. The golden snake can help the dragon get away with it, but it can suck out venom for him when he is poisoned. The Spirit Devouring Insect is now at the peak level of the tenth level, but it can be used. It's just that the number of red beetles is huge, and 36 soul eaters are really difficult to play a big role.

If Long Xiaoyao is still in possession of those inherited supernatural powers, of course, he can use sonic attacks and stun supernatural powers to deal with a large number of enemies, especially the low-level demon beasts with low spiritual intelligence. But now that he has lost those supernatural powers, he can only try it with the Zhou Tian Sword Formation. For a large number of red beetles, the effect of other single artifacts is minimal.

In the face of the huge number of red beetles, Long Xiaoyao was still cautious and first summoned the Thunder Spirit Cover and the Yin and Yang Five Elements Thunder Ball, forming a defensive line composed of thunder and lightning outside his body. No matter how strong the defense is, as long as it belongs to the poisonous insect monster, it will inevitably be restrained by thunder and lightning, even if it is an ice poisonous insect, although it has the ability to resist lightning, but the toxin will still be restrained and destroyed by lightning.

Immediately after, Long Xiaoyao sacrificed the Zhou Tian Sword, and the Zhou Tian Sword Array instantly appeared around him, and the sword array enveloped the ten-meter space centered on him. Zhou Tian's sword array could have easily controlled the range of a hundred meters in diameter, but the more concentrated the sword array's range, the stronger it naturally became. The Red Beetle has a strong defense, and if the attack power of the sword array is reduced due to dispersion, he is worried that he will not be able to kill and injure those Red Beetles.

The coercion of Zhou Tian's sword array immediately made it difficult for the red beetles that entered the range of the sword array to move as if they were stuck in a muddy pond, and the fierce gang qi crisscrossed and fell on those red beetles. When the qi falls on the red beetle, immediately shoot down those strange insects.

However, the bodies of the red beetles were barely damaged, and most of them flapped their wings again halfway through the fall, and only a few of them fell into the stagnant water below. As soon as the beetle fell into the water, several strange insects in the water immediately swam to the red beetle and seemed to use it as food.

However, the red beetle is also unceremonious, directly stabbing the approaching insects with its mouthparts, sucking the energy in the bodies of those insects. The red beetle seems to have the upper hand compared to the hard body and sharp mouthparts of the insects, while the body of the insects is very soft. However, they are not good at water, and it is difficult for them to last in the water, and when they fall into the water, they encounter the combined attack of multiple enemies, and in the end, it is the insects in the water who win.

Long Xiaoyao was also very depressed at this time, almost none of those red beetles died under the attack of the sword array, and the injured ones were only low-level beetles below level 9, and none of them were fatally injured;

However, Long Xiaoyao was only trying to attack just now, and at this time, seeing that the red beetle could withstand the attack of Gang Qi, he immediately controlled the sword formation to turn into a fighting star and move the sword momentum, and the attack power of the sword array suddenly soared. Moreover, he saw that the red beetle had a strong defense, so he immediately changed his strategy and locked Gang Qi's attack target on the red beetle's wings.

Although the red beetle is covered by a carapace and protected, its wings are as thin as cicada wings like the beetles of the human world, but their wings are very tough and strong. However, the wings of the red beetle are still difficult to resist the Gang Qi, and the Gang Qi that Long Xiaoyao is now controlling has reached the top Gang Qi realm, and the attack power is by no means weaker than the blow of the immortal treasure, and the wings of the beetle are still powerless to resist.

Long Yaoyao's strategy achieved great results, a large number of red beetle wings were pierced by the Gang Qi hole and fell into the stagnant water below, which immediately attracted more insects in the water, and those strange insects hiding in the soil below also drilled out one after another and joined the army competing for food. The strange insects in the stagnant water suddenly fought for each other, and the stagnant water also became turbid under the agitation of the strange insects.

In the blink of an eye, the number of red beetles in the air was reduced by half, and the remaining red beetles were only struggling to support. Under the pressure of the sword array, the flight of those red beetles was restricted, and it was already difficult to move, as many as 365 fierce Gang Qi staggered vertically and horizontally, not to mention that those red beetles could dodge, and their wings were severely damaged by Gang Qi and lost their ability to fly.

The spirit of the red beetle is almost zero, although Long Xiaoyao's body is completely shrouded by the Zhou Tian Sword Array, but the other red beetles outside the Zhou Tian Sword Array rushed into the sword array like moths to the fire, and the red beetles in the sword array rushed towards Long Xiaoyao desperately. Although the space within the sword array had almost solidified, those tenth-level red beetles could still move forward with difficulty.

However, there was already a defensive line composed of thunder and lightning waiting outside Long Xiaoyao's body, although the Immortal Treasure Thunder Spirit Cover was no longer considered a top-notch magic weapon in the Immortal Realm, but the tenth-level red beetle was also not a high-level existence, and even, in the Immortal Realm, the demon beasts that could not break through the tenth-level limit were called low-level demon beasts.

Although the mouthparts of the red beetle are sharp, the strongest of the mouthparts is the paralyzing venom secreted. Although the paralyzing venom is not as lethal as the toxins of most poisonous insects, it is highly corrosive and paralyzing, and the corrosiveness can make it easier for the mouthparts to pierce the opponent's body, even if it is a hard scale or magic weapon, it will be corroded by the venom, making the mouthparts of the red beetle an indestructible weapon.

A succession of seven tenth-level red beetles and more than thirty ninth-level red beetles tore through the solidified space of the sword formation, and flew in front of the thunder and lightning defense line outside Long Xiaoyao's body. However, the red beetles seem to be very afraid of thunder and lightning, and do not dare to directly attack the lightning defense line with their mouthparts, but each spits out a burst of venom and shoots it towards the lightning defense line.
