Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 255 The Attacking Giant Insect

"Sigh, you really are..."

Yanqing looked at Yunli, who refused to leave, and sighed helplessly.

He drew the slender sword from his waist, walked to Yun Li's side, and stood beside her.

"Hmm? Why haven't you left yet?" Yun Li asked in confusion, her gaze still fixed on the swarm of insects ahead, not daring to relax for a moment.

"I am a member of the Luofu Cloud Cavalry's elite guards. How could an outsider be allowed to protect me?"

"If anyone should be protected, it's me who will protect you."

Six flying swords floated around Yan Qing, emitting a clear sword sound.

"I didn't expect you to have some courage." Yun Li smiled.

This boy didn't seem bad at all; he wasn't as arrogant and domineering as she had imagined.

After all, people who can be called child prodigies are usually very proud and complacent.

"I suggest we focus on them, because they've already started drooling."

Yanqing looked at the swarm of insects, which had now covered the entire street. Liquid was constantly secreted from their black beaks, dripping onto the ground with a "sizzling" sound.

“Their saliva seems to be corrosive,” Yun Li noticed.

"Well, it's possible that their blood is also corrosive."

Yan Qing glanced at the insect that Yun Li had just split in two. Its corpse was now surrounded by pits and holes, which must have been caused by corrosion.

"It seems this will be difficult to deal with." Yanqing's heart grew heavy.

There's nothing to be afraid of about this swarm of bugs; it just takes some time to clean them up.

However, if they are corrosive, they are not so easy to deal with.

"on!"

Yun Li was the first to leap up, wielding her greatsword as she charged directly into the swarm of insects.

"You were too impulsive!!"

Yanqing immediately became anxious and followed after him on his flying sword.

Yun Li walked barefoot, stepping on the insects' carapaces, constantly weaving through the swarm.

Because of her agility, the insects had no way to deal with her.

At that moment, Yun Li leaped high into the air, raising her greatsword toward the sky.

Instantly, the greatsword in her hand transformed into a giant sword tens of meters tall, surrounded by wisps of flame.

Yun Li narrowed her eyes and slammed the giant sword, which was burning with flames, down hard.

With a loud bang, a huge tremor was felt, followed by explosions and flames flying everywhere.

Countless insects died from the heavy blows and flames, and the swarm was instantly cleared out, creating a vacuum zone.

"Amazing..."

Yanqing, who arrived late, was shocked by what she saw.

It seems that this girl from the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship is no ordinary person either, as she can clear an area in the swarm of insects in an instant.

"Phew, I've taken care of part of it." Yun Li landed, stepping onto the scorched ground.

The flames had already burned the insect's corpse to ashes.

At this moment, the insect crawled over again, heading towards Yun Li in the center.

"Ten Thousand Swords, Heavenly Descent!"

Yanqing activated his sword technique, and instantly the six flying swords transformed into countless flying swords, frantically sweeping around. The insects that rushed in didn't even last a second before being shredded by the sword formation and turned into corpses.

"You've got some skills after all," Yun Li said with a slight smile as she looked at Yan Qing, who had landed on his flying sword.

“Of course, I am a Cloud Cavalry Valiant Guard,” Yan Qing said.

By this time, the two had almost completely wiped out the swarm of insects, leaving only a few scattered insects crawling around, seemingly looking for the right opportunity.

"It's almost done. These bugs are nothing special."

"That's really strange. How could there be insects on Luofu Mountain?" Yanqing pondered.

He had heard some rumors about the swarm, but he didn't know if these insects were related to the swarm in the rumors.

"Forget it, we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's report to the general first."

Yanqing pulled Yunli away from here.

But then, strange noises came from the sewer again.

With a "bang".

A giant insect, as tall as a person, burst through the sewer and flew in front of the two of them, flapping its wings.

It doesn't look much different from the insect we just saw, except it's bigger, its shell is darker and shinier, and it can fly.

“It seems it doesn’t really want us to leave,” Yun Li said to Yan Qing beside her.

"Kill it."

Yanqing beckoned with his finger, and the six flying swords quickly took flight, weaving around the giant insect.

“Zheng...”

In an instant, countless sword energies burst forth in all directions amidst the flashing of blades and the shadows of swords.

Despite the seemingly fierce attack, the giant worm at the center of the sword formation remained completely still.

The flying sword swept past, leaving only a shallow mark on its carapace.

"How is that possible?" Yanqing frowned.

His flying sword was arguably the sharpest, yet it proved largely ineffective against the giant insect's carapace.

Just how hard is this giant insect's carapace?

"Look at me."

Yun Li raised the greatsword, which transformed into a giant sword once more, and slashed down with all her might.

With a loud bang, flames erupted.

When the firelight disappeared, the giant insect reappeared, its body now bearing only some charred marks.

"It's so hard..." Yun Li swallowed.

Even her strongest attack failed to break through her defenses.

This is on a completely different level from those bugs we just saw.

"withdraw!"

Without much thought, Yanqing decisively pulled Yunli's hand and retreated.

But suddenly a familiar flapping sound rang out, and behind them, an identical giant insect appeared at some unknown time.

"This is bad..." Yanqing frowned, constantly thinking of a solution.

Fly away? No, those two bugs can fly too, and they're quite fast. It would be troublesome if they got into a crowded area.

Does this mean that we have no choice but to fight to the death?

Yanqing glanced at Yunli beside her.

No, even if it means my death, I have to get her out of here.

Having made his decision, Yanqing threw Yunli away, and at that moment a flying sword swiftly shot out.

Before Yun Li could react, the flying sword caught her and quickly flew upwards.

“You…” Yun Li finally realized what was happening as she watched the ground recede into the distance.

At this moment, the two giant insects on the ground saw this and one of them tried to fly away to chase after Yun Li, but was stopped by Yan Qing's flying sword.

"Your opponent is me."

Yan Qing stared intently at the two giant insects, while the remaining five flying swords circled around him.

"Heh, interesting." The person in the shadows watched this scene and couldn't help but smile, his two fox ears twitching slightly.
