Chapter 89 Rescued (Part One)
ording to the records of beasts rankings in the Eastern Region, the ordinary de locusts were
considered level three monsters.
However, the difference between other beasts that were level three and the de locusts was that
de locusts never appeared alone.
"If youe across a single de locust, there are at least two thousand more behind that one!"
Although it was an exaggeration, it showed just how vast the numbers were, and so the saying spread
throughout the south.
In the face of such vast numbers of de locusts, refiners were afraid to deal with them, whether were
half a step into the nature level or at nature level.
At present, disciples from the Cloud Sect had managed to kill a few hundred de locusts, because
each one had good strength.
de locust corpses were piled high around the wreckage, umting a body hill.
No matter how high the pile of dead de locusts got, it seemed endless amounts wereing at the
disciples!
"Aah!" came a sudden scream. It was a disciple rushing the de locusts in a drastic move. Even if the
others wanted to save him, it was toote. In an instant, arge group of locusts knocked him to the
ground and were gnawing his limbs, until nothing remained and the de locusts scattered.
As the other disciples watched this gnarly scene, a shiver went through each of them.
No one wanted to be the next to be ripped apart and eaten alive by these gruesome monsters.
Wave on wave of de locusts came at them though, and once everyone''s energy was sapped, they
would die.
As the onught continued, the disciples felt their mncholy attitudes deepening within, and their
attacks became weaker.
It was now that one of the disciples shouted, "Cheer up! No cking now, it''s not that bad! We should
counterattack! If we roll over and let them break us, we''ll all die right here!"
"Zing!" A purple energy arrow of life vitality was let loose, whizzing into the mass of de locusts, and
instantly thrusting through more than ten.
"Bam!" zing mes exploded, coloring a patch of sky red. The powerful fire incinerated dozens of
de locusts, leaving the charred stench death in the air.
It was the nature level refiners using their unique skills to fight.
The others in their ranks were significantly encouraged by this disy of force, and were reinvigorated,
beginning to battle with all their strength.
Rushing in and out among the horde of locusts, Zen used his power of Purple Light Fist. It was not all
that powerful, yet, through the advantage of his body''s strength, he killed eight de locusts in a short
time.
In the heat of the battle, there was a scream, "Alert, everyone! Iing, de locust officers!"
Zen looked up, along with all the others fighting for their lives. The sight of dozens of purple de
locusts among legions of green ordinary de locusts was approaching them. The purple officers were
almost twice the size of the ordinary ones. They appeared hideous and misshapen and covering the
skin on their bodies were dense bony thorns.
''Are these purple monstrosities the de locust officers?''
wondered Zen. It was said a de locust officer was far more potent than an ordinary de locust, and
here a few hundred were headed at them!
The ordinary de locusts were challenging enough to kill, let alone the stronger de locust officers.
The screeching de locust officers dove from high above in the sky, while more de locusts
surrounded the disciples.
Everyone felt an overwhelming feeling of gloom within, pondering, ''Are we going to die here today?''
Who could have foreseen this oue while boarding the giant flying chariot?
In fact, while de locust hunting was difficult, situations as dangerous like this, rarely happened.
From the jungle near them, a branch of burning bamboo came flying in at that moment, with a
"whoosh!"
Thick smoke billowed from the end of the bamboo impaled in the ground.
A strong scent of herb came from the smoke filling the air. Sniffing, Zen breathed it in.
Suddenly, more burning bamboos flew into the midst of the crowd.
Every bamboo was billowing with smoke from one end.
Soon, the air was filled with smoke.
Amazingly, the de locusts feared the smoke and spread their wings, taking off into the skies above
at sight of the burning bamboos. Circling the disciples below, the locusts remained above, not daring toRêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
descend on them.
The same thing happened with the de locust officers.
Although the smoke was making the disciples ufortable, they were able to bear it and were given
a reprieve from the locust attacks.
A ''swishing'' sound was hearding from the woods before arge number of serious looking men
appeared at the edge of trees, all dressed in uniforms, marching in unison, and each carrying bamboo
sticks on their backs.
"It''s the imperial army!"
whispered more than one of the disciples at the sight of the imperial army. The Cloud Sect disciples
visibly rxed.
The Burning Sky Empire would send a considerable number of the imperial army yearly to war the
Insect Aggression.
Compared with the Cloud Sect disciples, the imperial army had unified action and a good sense of
discipline. While the individual strength of an imperial soldier might not beparable to a single Cloud
Sect disciple, the unified power of the imperial army shouldn''t be underestimated.
The imperial army formed orderly rows, and then a young man with a crew cut stepped forward and
spoke earnestly, "I am Martin Lu, the centurion of the Green Haze Group! Disciples of the Cloud Sect,
listen carefully! If you want to live, follow us!"
After Martin Lu issued hismands, the Cloud Sect disciples stood there, staring at de locust
corpses piled high.
They came here to earn points, not for a holiday.
