One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Chapter 544: Chapter 449 Perfect Specimen, A King Descends from the Sky_2

“Gold-eating Insect Swarm.” Li Hongxiu answered, “The letter from the Princess said that there are more than one Gold-eating Insects comparable to the Destruction Level.”

“I’ve read some ancient records about Gold-eating Insects. With such a scale, it’s very likely that a King Insect will appear.”

Li Hongxiu’s expression became slightly solemn as she added.

“King Insect?”

It was Su Heng’s first time hearing this name.

It had never been mentioned by the Longevity King when he had talked with him before.

“It’s said that the King Insect’s body is huge and can continuously transform biomass into a swarm of insects, and can also collect resources from the battlefield for targeted evolution. In the records of some ancient lost races from the Immortal Longevity days, encountering a King Insect essentially signifies an apocalypse for a race, the sounding of the horn for their ultimate demise.”

“That sounds interesting…” Hearing Li Hongxiu’s words, Su Heng was instead somewhat excited.

The colossal size could provide Su Heng with a large amount of Attribute Points, and from Li Hongxiu’s description, the “King Insect” seemed to have considerable talent for flesh modification. Paired with Spirit Void Dao Wood, and Lilith, the Blood Queen, as a template, if he could acquire some useful resources from it, perhaps he could truly achieve a grand feat of massive gene enhancement.

And the in-depth study of human talents.

Is also instructive, like using another’s stone to polish one’s own gemstone, offering clear reference value for Su Heng’s own cultivation.

“I was originally thinking of taking this opportunity to negotiate terms with her, but now the situation has changed, and my original thoughts must be put aside for a while.”

Su Heng grinned, his face showing a greedy demeanor, “I have a premonition this will be an extraordinary Taotie feast.”

“Mhm.”

Li Hongxiu nodded.

She knew that Su Heng was very confident in his own strength.

Yet the records on the Gold-eating Insect Swarm still made her worry a great deal.

“Be careful on the way.” Li Hongxiu said.

“Haha.” Su Heng laughed freely and waved his hand at her.

Sizzle!

Under the blood-red sunset.

Li Hongxiu’s figure dissipated into specks of light.

Su Heng looked up at the sky, quickly discerned the direction, and with a sharp whistle, the walls beneath him collapsed with a boom, smoke billowing. Su Heng’s burly figure shot up into the sky like a rocket, leaving behind a straight vapor trail in the sky, vanishing in the blink of an eye on the edge of the sunset that had yet to cover.

…

…

…

On Wanyuan Plain, beneath a newly-constructed Bronze Fortress.

The Phoenix Spear and an exaggeratedly styled, massive Horse-slaying Saber fiercely collided, the two tremendous powers exploding with a roar as metal screamed and bones moaned. Ji Huaxi only felt a dark tidal wave of immense force surging toward her, her palms cracking open, the long spear almost flying out of her hands, and a noticeable dent appeared on the spear shaft.

Swoosh!

Using this force, she rapidly flew backwards.

The moment she landed, she sprung up like a rabbit, lowering her center of gravity, channeling the power of her entire body, turning into a blazing Phoenix bounding across the battlefield.

She violently flew forward, her spear tip covered in sticky flames stabbing toward Cardoze’s heart.

Faced with the Princess’s all-out strike.

Cardoze’s tumor-covered, hideous face squeezed out a sneer, “Too slow!”

Sizzle!

He reached out to grab.

Ignoring the flames covering the spear tip, amidst the sizzling sound of flesh searing.

He swung the long spear up, smashing it down.

Boom!

The ground violently trembled.

A meteor-like huge dent appeared on the battlefield, countless tiny stones defying gravity and hanging in the air.

Ji Huaxi coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood, her eyes rolling back white.

The sharp and piercing howl exploded by her ears like the roar of a hundred beasts. At the crucial moment, Ji Huaxi awkwardly rolled on the ground, yet the scorching blood still spurting from the Princess’s waist.

The exaggeratedly styled Horse-slaying Saber was stuck straight in the ground, its dark and heavy blade nearly splitting Ji Huaxi in half.

At the site of the wound.

A virulent poison from the Immortal Longevity was spreading.

Her Life Force had long been exhausted throughout the extended battles lasting dozens of days; her injuries were unable to heal, and the blood flowing out quickly turned into a mirrored pool of blood on the battlefield.

Ji Huaxi’s hair also spread out, stained by the blood, it looked like a Mandrake flower blooming in the wilderness.

“A bright flower at its most beautiful just as it’s about to be destroyed,” Cardoze’s horrible visage did not lack a poet’s sense of beauty while savoring the Princess’s blood. However, such sentiment was fleeting, soon replaced by ferocity in the next moment.

“That old man was the first, and you are my second trophy.”

Cardoze raised the Horse-slaying Saber high overhead, posturing for an executioner’s strike ready to decapitate the Princess.

At this moment, Ji Huaxi’s consciousness had sunk into haziness.

If it were her peak.

Opponents like Cardoze would be nothing to fear.

It’s just that the Gold-eating Insect Swarm, their numbers, were simply too exaggerated.

And in just a short period of tens of days, they had already evolved specifically to counter Earth Immortals’ Undying nature.

Like Cardoze, comparable to an ordinary Destruction Great Power Level Insect Swarm Lord, Ji Huaxi had already killed three in previous battles. The intense consumption of Spirit and Power, along with the hundreds of poisons wrapping her body, left her too weak now, running on fumes. Facing a Berserker like Cardoze, she was utterly powerless.
