Chapter 259: Still Have to Act
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The opposing team had only a few members, around five or six individuals.
However, Li Yidao could discern that their strength was formidable.
Even before they approached, Li Yidao sensed an extremely cold and fierce aura emanating from them—a killing intent cultivated on the battlefield, a sign of absolute strength.
“Humph! If you hadn’t come, and Yun City encountered real issues, you would have been the next ones facing trouble!”
The old man’s words were icy, causing everyone to shift their gaze towards them.
The elders from Yun City looked furious, seeing these individuals as outright provocateurs.
Their usual relationship was indeed exceptionally terrible.
Otherwise, the current situation wouldn’t have arisen, and the people from Yun City wouldn’t adopt such a hostile attitude when encountering them. “Hehe, even the trash showed up. I wonder what role this trash can play.”
“That’s right, a bunch of bugs buried for who knows how many years, and they’re scared like this. In the end, they still need us to step in, right?” The few individuals noticed the anger in the eyes of Yun City’s people.
Their tone was mocking, and upon hearing their sarcasm, Li Yidao unconsciously furrowed his brow.
These guys didn’t seem like good people, huh?
Were they deliberately looking for trouble?
Upon hearing the mockery, the people from Yun City turned around, glaring at them.
Perhaps individually, they might not be a match, but with their numbers, the outcome of a fight was genuinely uncertain.
“What’s going on?”
“Take a look at what you’re all doing. Are you quarreling like fishwives? Or are you fighting over territory?”
“What should you be doing now?”
For the first time, the old man was angry!
Li Yidao observed the old man’s furious expression but remained silent.
“Enough talk. I’ll make the first move later! Yun City people, be responsible for encircling and dealing with the remaining bugs.”
“You guys, join me in the attack. If I sense any slacking off, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
“Hmph!”
The old man quickly formulated a plan.
He didn’t assign any tasks to Li Yidao and even ignored him completely.
Did the old man not know Li Yidao’s abilities? He did!
It’s just that, in the old man’s understanding, every time Li Yidao took action, it entailed tremendous consumption.
Therefore, if he could avoid having him join the fight now, he would.
Li Yidao didn’t speak up either.
Honestly, everything seemed fine in the current situation.
The old man’s arrangements were correct, and the giant bug hadn’t recovered yet.
Killing it directly was entirely possible.
So, for the time being, Li Yidao didn’t feel the need to overthink.
As time passed, the old man continued forward.
When they were about to get close, he sat cross-legged.
Three individuals from the later group also sat behind the old man.
The remaining two individuals conjured a long trident-like weapon out of thin air!
The entire weapon emitted a mesmerizing white light that even attracted the slow-moving giant insect’s attention.
With the old man’s shout, a dazzling light flashed in the giant insect’s area.
Various attacks landed directly on the creature—some were spikes emerging from the ground, others were lightning strikes from the sky, and there were even attacks with a milky-white glow. In short, a variety of unique attacks.
This time completely opened Li Yidao’s eyes!
The two individuals wielding weapons had already soared into the air with a jumping power comparable to Superman!
Squelch!
Squelch!
The sounds of weapons piercing through flesh echoed!
Both tridents directly stabbed into the creature’s body!
“Roar!” A thunderous roar erupted, proving that under the sudden attack from the old man and others, the opponent had suffered heavy injuries.
“Continue! It’s fully awakening now, and this is the moment when its defense is weakest!
All of you, join in!” The old man’s voice was deep but reached everyone’s ears, directing them to participate in the ongoing assault.
Suddenly, the black bugs that had been waiting in place moved again!
Naturally, some targeted the surviving red bugs.
However, the majority of them began crawling densely all over the giant insect’s body!
In the areas where the opponent was attacked, they crazily burrowed into the giant insect’s body, intending to devour it from the inside!
“Roar! Roar! Roar!” There was no hesitation as the giant insect kept howling!
But the attacks landing on it showed no sign of stopping!
Yang Feng didn’t know how the old man, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was attacking.
Still, he could clearly see that their assaults were effective!
Such attacks made the opponent suffer unbearable pain, struggling incessantly and roaring!
But, similarly, the Yun City people around them, one by one, fell weakly to the ground!
Clearly, the insects they controlled had suffered fatal damage!
They entered the enemy’s body with the insects, intending to cause some damage.
However, in the same vein, they would undoubtedly suffer some harm themselves.
In such a situation, they naturally faced the risk of weakness and injury.
The opponent was formidable—truly powerful!
Even after enduring such damage, Li Yidao could perceive that the enemy’s combat strength remained significant.
In reality, Li Yidao could now fully utilize talismans.
However, the old man remained silent, so he refrained from taking action.
If his assistance were needed, he believed the old man would speak up!
Thus, the attrition warfare continued.
The small red insects had mostly been eliminated.
The remaining few were forced into corners and continuously eradicated. It was evident that their destruction was only a matter of time.
As for the giant red insect, it still rampaged in a frenzied state.
Only one person wielding a trident remained, as the other had been accidentally sent flying by the opponent’s tentacles, and his fate was unknown.
“Splurt! ”
Suddenly, Li Yidao witnessed the old man and the others simultaneously spewing out fresh blood!
His heart sank. Without hesitation, without waiting for the old man’s orders, he directly threw a talisman!
With his remaining lifespan of less than ten thousand years, he knew that the damage from this talisman would not be fatal to the opponent.
However, at least it could buy some time, allowing the old man and the others to catch their breath..
