C65 Locust

Yang Junshan never thought that the locust locust would be in the pomegranate forest, on top of the tallest pomegranate tree beside the Spirit Spring Cave!

When he finally confirmed that this giant locust which was almost a foot long was definitely a demon insect king, Yang Junshan had the feeling of lifting a rock and smashing his own foot, and he only hoped that everyone wouldn't notice the existence of the Spirit Spring Cave when they entered the pomegranate forest.

Thinking of this, Yang Junshan couldn't help but glance at Xu Jing. Previously, she had heard the sound of a giant locust swarm, which was why he had led everyone to follow the sound. In the end, they had found dozens of giant locusts in the pomegranate forest.

Apart from the transformed insect king, the rest of the giant locusts were about seven to eight inches in length. They were almost twice the size of ordinary giant locusts that were about three to four inches long.

These several dozen giant locusts were jumping up and down in the pomegranate forest, or flying and landing. However, they were always within a hundred feet of the giant locust's body, protecting it.

"Kacha, kacha!"

Yang Junshan looked over and saw the locust nibbling the huge red pomegranate on the pomegranate tree. It was not afraid of the bitterness of the pomegranate and directly splattered the sap on the seed.

The giant pomegranate on the pomegranate tree was originally prepared by Yang Junshan for his little sister to eat. Because these giant pomegranates were all nourished by the spirit spring underground, the juices already had a trace of spirit energy in them, and the taste was excellent. Yang Junshan couldn't bear to eat them even though he hadn't started cultivating yet.

He had to kill it!

Without waiting for Yang Junshan to respond, Zhang Huzi could no longer hold himself back. He raised his fists and eagerly asked, "Do you want to rush up and kill that bastard right now?"

Everyone heard him and were too lazy to respond. Su Bao Zhang had a good temper as he explained: "These guys can all fly, now that you've charged in, let's not talk about whether you're a match for this group of giant locusts. If these guys were to fly away, where can we find them?"

Zhang Huzi knew that he had said something stupid, but he still stubbornly said, "He's just a swarm of locusts. What's so amazing about that!"

Yang Junshan knew the strength of these locusts. He glanced at the locusts that were still nibbling on the pomegranate fruit, and said while thinking, "I am confident that I can kill that insect king, but once it dies, it will definitely arouse the wrath of other locusts. At that time, I'm afraid we will need everyone to fight against it together!"

Everyone nodded, but only Xu Jing suddenly opened her mouth and said: "Brother Jun Shan seems to be very familiar with the giant locust swarm." Everyone nodded, but only Xu Jing suddenly opened her mouth and said: "Brother Jun Shan seems to be very familiar with the giant locust swarm.

Yang Junshan nodded, and said: "A few days ago when I was hunting with Tigress on the western mountain, I saw a giant locust and killed it. At that time, that giant locust was only three to four inches in size, and once it died, all the ordinary locusts around it immediately exploded. If an ordinary giant locust was like that, then what would happen if we really killed the insect king?"

Yang Junshan knew that the Tuqiu Village had warned the locusts about the disaster ahead of time, and had tried to buy the Spirit Valley in the town the day before the locust swarm arrived, which would eventually arouse the suspicion of others. Instead of hiding this, Yang Junshan might as well say it in advance and spread it to others to dispel their suspicions.

While he was talking, Yang Junshan took out the Seven Stones Iron Dun Bow from his back and placed it on top of a rune arrow. He said in a deep voice, "Get ready!"

The locust was unable to sense the danger that had unwittingly descended upon its head and continued to jump up and down the pomegranate tree, using its intuition to search for the pomegranate fruit that contained the most spirit energy. However, the Spirit Spring Cave not far away from the pomegranate tree was blocked by the Spirit Sealing Slate, which made the locust tree unable to detect it.

"Bang, whoosh!"

Two explosive sounds rang out, and when the locust noticed that something was wrong, the rune arrow had already arrived in front of it before the sound could be heard.

However, in a rush, the locust still reacted, a pair of wings as thin as cicada's wings suddenly unfolded behind it, and the locust instantly soared into the sky, actually attempting to fly backwards in midair, while the two pairs of forelegs below its abdomen were folded in front of it, perfectly forming a defensive posture, while a pair of powerful hind legs took advantage of the opportunity to kick out towards the rune arrow.

However, the locust still underestimated the might of Yang Junshan's seven stone bow and rune arrow. The rune arrow with powerful bow power directly broke the locust's back legs, and the back of the arrow suddenly exploded, blowing its chest and abdomen to pieces. At the same time, Yang Junshan acutely sensed a faint demonic aura suddenly spread out from the locust's body.

The locust suddenly fell from the sky, but its wings were still rapidly trembling. A strange cry came from the heavily injured locust, and the surrounding locusts instantly exploded.

He actually didn't kill him!

Yang Junshan's eyes darkened. This locust was clearly more tenacious than he had expected.

Around them, dozens of giant locusts were already rushing towards them, while Yang Junshan placed the second rune arrow on the bowstring. After the locust fell to the ground, its three pairs of feet were already shattered by the rune arrows, but it barely managed to use its wings to flap its tattered body and hide behind the tree.

The ten giant locusts guarding the locusts were extremely fast, and before Yang Junshan could shoot his second arrow, they had already arrived in front of everyone. Zhang Huzi was the first to shout out loud and threw out a punch, which carried a strong wind as it flew towards one of the locusts.

"Be careful of their wings and hind legs!"

Seeing Zhang Huzi's silly look, Yang Junshan couldn't help but remind him. However, Zhang Huzi was confident in his iron fists and didn't take Yang Junshan's warning seriously.

"Aiya!" Zhang Huzi let out a strange cry and was at a disadvantage. Although the locust that was charging at him was smashed into meat paste by his punch, the locust's hind leg had cut a bloody line in the back of his right hand.

Although these giant locust guards were not a match for these teenagers, under the ferocious charge of charging without fear of death, the five of them were in a difficult position to defend, especially against dozens of giant locust guards charging together, which often made them lose.

Half of Zhang Huzi's cultivation was due to his iron fists. After he completely refined the mid quality immortal spirit and broke through the spiritual cavities in his body, his fists had been tempered to the same color as the black iron. Even so, he was still able to cut through Xue Leng Zi, let alone the others.

Su Bao Zhang brandished a new Hundred Refined Firewood Chopping knife, the blade edge of the knife flashed with light, he had already killed six of the Giant Locust Guards, but his back had two wounds, one of which was left behind by the wings of one of the guards, moreover, his clothes were also damaged, it was a pity that Yang Junshan and the others didn't bring his beast skin clothing to the Spirit Tian mountain, otherwise, he would have been able to block the charge of the Giant Locust Guards.

As for the machete in his hand, Yang Junshan had originally wanted him to buy a hundred refined steel sabers or a long sword. However, he said that he only had a machete, so he insisted on making one.

At this moment, Xu Jing looked even more miserable than before, but the number of giant locusts that had died at her hands was already more than seven or eight, and he didn't have a single wound on his body. But compared to Su Baozhang and Zhang Huzi's fierce battle with the giant locust, Xu Jing didn't want these disgusting things to cut his own skin, especially when she was killing two giant locusts in a single stroke.

At this time, Xu Lei's performance was very competent. From front to back, she circled around the giant locust that Xu Jing blocked for her. Because of this, three or four bloody wounds had been made on her body, and four or five giant locusts had died in his hands.

After Zhang Hu Zi suffered a loss in the beginning, he became a lot more obedient, but he was already a little dazed. Even if he learnt a little, he still had a limit, and of the four, he had killed the most guards, almost ten of them, but he had also suffered the most, and his clothes were tattered, if not for the fact that this fellow had trained his physique, he would have suffered a lot more injuries.

However, the gap between the four of them and Yang Junshan was much more obvious. Yang Junshan was holding a rune sword in his hand, and was leisurely swimming around the giant locust's front and back attacks, dodging the charge of the giant locust's guards every time it was in a critical situation. At the same time, every time he stabbed out with the rune short sword in his hand, he was able to accurately hit one of the giant locust guards, and up till now, there were not a single wound on Yang Junshan's body, while the number of giant locusts that had fallen around him was already more than fifteen.

"More than half of the giant locust guards have been wiped out. Brother Jun Shan, don't let that insect king escape or we will lose everything!"

Xu Jing might look like he dodged it, but his eyes were very cunning. He could see everything around his, and he could also see Yang Junshan's calmness.

"Don't worry, he won't be able to escape. Didn't you hear the tracks of Tigress?"

The rune dagger in Yang Junshan's hand shot out a beam of light, and at the same time, it pierced through a giant locust tree, leaving a three inch deep hole. Right at this time, a roar suddenly came from behind the pomegranate forest.

"Be careful!"

Yang Junshan was shocked. The moment the tigress grabbed the locust, two giant locusts suddenly jumped down from the trees on both sides, thrusting their sharp hind legs towards her eyes.

The rune dagger in Yang Junshan's hand was thrown towards one of the giant locusts, and he pounced forward, knocking the other locust into the air. With a 'chi la' sound, the clothes on Yang Junshan's back were cut by the thorns of the locust, and crystal blood started to seep out.

There was still the second update for the night, so he wouldn't be able to update three chapters today. He would have to make up for it tomorrow.
