59: Goodbye Bloodthirsty Mosquito Swarm
The endless Yellow Sand looked calm, but concealed deadly danger.
After flying for a while!
"Brother Sheng, those Desert Worms seem to be hiding under the Yellow Sand. This is a bit troublesome," Lin Jin said.
And that was indeed the case.
"The three of you observe from the air. I'll drop to the ground and act as bait to attract the worms!" Even with his Transcendent Spirit Eye, Zhang Sheng couldn't see through the Yao Beasts hidden deep within the Yellow Sand.
"Brother Sheng, won't this be too dangerous? How about using my Summoned Beast as bait?" Leng Qinghe whispered.
Zhang Sheng had already considered this. "Your Summoned Beast is only in the Qi Sea Realm, and it is ultimately a Yao Beast. Its attractiveness to the worms is far less than that of a human."
The desire of the Secret Realm Yao Beasts to devour humans seemed to be engraved in their genes.
Zhang Sheng landed on the Yellow Sand, disabled his Breath Concealment Art, and released a powerful aura of blood-qi power.
This powerful blood-qi power emanating from a human was like a delicious delicacy.
"Here they come!"
The dense, turbid Spiritual Power was undoubtedly from a Divine Breath Realm being. It seemed that when faced with delicious food, Qi Sea Realm Yao Beasts were not qualified to compete with the Divine Breath Realm for a meal.
"Spirit Shield, rise!" Nine layers of Shields instantly appeared around Zhang Sheng.
A giant mouth, one meter in diameter and lined with Barbed Fangs, drilled out of the Yellow Sand five meters behind Zhang Sheng, followed by a body with two rows of symmetrical Insect Legs.
The body, over ten meters long, instantly wrapped around Zhang Sheng and the Shields surrounding him.
"Heh heh! Today, we're having barbecued Desert Worm!" Zhang Sheng sneered and snapped his fingers.
A giant Fireball manifested in the Void Realm, completely enveloping this Divine Breath Realm Desert Worm.
The worm cried out in pain and prepared to flee.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
"100,000 Volts!"
Several bolts of Lightning manifested in the Void Realm, striking the massive Desert Worm.
The three people in the air, having no time to be shocked by the Spell Zhang Sheng cast, immediately launched their own attacks.
Leng Qinghe summoned three Yao Beasts, each launching its Innate Spell to attack the worm.
Lin Jin Merged with his Spear, stabbing towards the worm's head, causing blood to spurt wildly.
Wang Yu, feeling pleased, cast a Fireball that hit the struggling worm. Like Zhang Sheng, he did not use Hand Seals.
However, the size and power of this Fireball were both inferior to Zhang Sheng's.
Zhang Sheng now understood the powerful aspect of Wang Yu's Talent: he could actually replicate other people's Spells.
He wasn't sure if it was due to her lack of Mental Energy or the limitations of her Talent's ability, but she couldn't perfectly replicate the Spell Zhang Sheng cast.
It was likely that many restrictions existed.
The Demon Insect was charred black all over, yet it wasn't easy to kill. Part of its tail was already sinking into the Yellow Sand.
Once it escaped, killing it again in the short term would be impossible. It would definitely heal its injuries beneath the Yellow Sand before reappearing. Perhaps by the time the Secret Realm reached 49 days, the Demon Insect might directly descend into the Current World.
Zhang Sheng continuously cast Electric Shock Spells, while simultaneously controlling four Flying Dagger to search for the worm's weak point.
Its coiled body wrapped around the Demon Insect's injured head, and its tail disappeared into the Yellow Sand.
"We can only burn it alive!"
Zhang Sheng couldn't think of a way to conserve Spiritual Power. "I still know too few Spells. I need to study more when I get back."
A Wood Prison Cage and an Electric Shock Spell manifested in the Void Realm, trapping the worm, followed by Fireball Technique after Fireball Technique.
Coupled with the continuous supplementary damage from the other three, the worm quickly stopped struggling, and a strange fragrance wafted from its charred corpse.
This time, what dropped was also a blue Jade Slip, which Zhang Sheng put into his backpack.
Whether it was the White Secret Realm or the Yellow Secret Realm, and now the Blue Secret Realm, killing powerful Yao Beasts in the early stages not only had an extremely high drop rate, but most of the drops were Cultivation Technique Jade Slips.
"Take the Spirit Milk Capsules. I still have some here!" Zhang Sheng distributed two Spirit Milk Capsules to each person again.
Everyone consumed a significant amount of Spiritual Power in this battle.
Before setting off, Zhang Sheng hadn't expected it to be a Yellow Sand Secret Realm. The worm Yao Beasts inside the Secret Realm were so troublesome that they couldn't use water or vegetation environments to conserve Spiritual Power.
"Brother Sheng, your capsules are really effective. I'm full after just one!" Wang Yu said excitedly.
"Let's go! We continue!"
Due to the environment, Zhang Sheng didn't know how many Divine Breath Realm Demon Insects were hidden beneath the Yellow Sand, but killing one was better than none.
In any case, Huaxia only promised to do their best; they did not guarantee the extermination of all Divine Breath Realm Yao Beasts.
The four of them repeated their trick and killed two more Divine Breath Realm Yao Beasts, but after that, they didn't find any for over two hours.
"Retreat!"
The voice of the Expedition Group Leader sounded in the headset.
The rest of the Expedition Group killed two Divine Breath Realm Yao Beasts in total. Including the three killed by Zhang Sheng's group of four, that made five in total. Even if there were some that slipped through the net, there wouldn't be many, which was considered fair to the Myanmar Military Government.
"Qing He, Wang Yu, Lin Jin, although Dean Hou said that the spoils from killing Divine Breath Realm creatures in the Secret Realm are entirely up to the Captain to distribute."
"Therefore, I'll be taking all three of these Jade Slips!"
At the same time, three Jade Bottles containing Medicinal Pills flew towards the three people under the control of Zhang Sheng's Object Manipulation Art.
The three quickly accepted them. Lin Jin laughed, "Brother Sheng, we all saw it. You could have killed the Yao Beast even without us. You're being too polite."
"Wow! qi gathering pill! This is a supreme-grade qi gathering pill!" Wang Yu had already poured out a Medicinal Pill and said excitedly, "I've only seen Xue'er refine a supreme-grade qi gathering pill once. Brother Sheng, you are truly amazing!"
All three were deeply shocked, not expecting Zhang Sheng's Alchemy skill to be even higher than Zhao Xue's.
"These nine supreme-grade qi gathering pills are compensation for the Jade Slips, enough for you to advance one layer in your Cultivation Realm."
"Of course, if you need more, I can help you refine them when I have time," Zhang Sheng said calmly.
"Um, Brother Sheng, could you refine some spirit food pills for me? Little Gold and Little Leopard need them." Leng Qinghe said timidly, feeling a bit embarrassed. The Low Grade spirit food pills she bought earlier had already been eaten.
"Sure!" Refining a few batches of spirit food pills wouldn't take long, and Zhang Sheng needed them for his own Cultivation too.
"Brother Sheng, I love you to death!" Wang Yu nearly jumped onto Zhang Sheng.
"Let's go! The Leader is already rushing us," Lin Jin quickly said.
The team gradually gathered, but three people were missing.
However, the moment everyone walked out of the Secret Realm, a pungent smell of blood rushed towards them!
"Prepare for battle!" the Leader roared.
The sky was a sheet of crimson, and the Secret Realm entrance was covered in Desiccated Corpses whose blood had been sucked dry!
It was a swarm of Bloodthirsty Demon Mosquitoes!
"Spirit Shield, activate!"
A layer of Shields simultaneously appeared on the four of them, blocking the sharp proboscises of countless Mosquito Beasts!
The advantage of Instant Spell Casting was immediately apparent!
"Fly high into the sky!" Zhang Sheng shouted.
The three quickly formed Hand Seals and cast Spells, but the others were not so lucky and were caught in a chaotic battle.
Although these Mosquito Beasts were only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, their numbers reached tens of thousands!
"100,000 Volts!"
Zhang Sheng instantly cast the Electric Shock Spell, rescuing the other group members. The Mosquito Beasts hit by the electric shock instantly turned into ash.
With a chance to breathe, the Battle Formation was finally able to unfold.
