Chapter 509 - 301: The Insect Race Army Mobilizes
"A little unicorn, if it really entered the domain of our Demon Race, catching it would be simple." The Dragon Scorpion King said mockingly, "We left a gate there back then."
"The Nine Netherworld Snake has been to the Ling Mountain."
The Tree Ancestor quickly understood, at such a level, if it were the methods of these Demon Kings like the Dragon Scorpion King, it couldn’t escape the eyes of the Tree Ancestor.
The only possibility was that the Nine Netherworld Snake had been there.
"Exactly." The Dragon Scorpion King laughed loudly, "So this Ling Mountain is already something within the grasp of our Demon Beasts."
After saying this, the Dragon Scorpion King waved his big hand and said, "Go."
As his words fell, the demon beast army behind him surged forward, terrifying the students to the point of turning pale with fear.
Yet, the Tree Ancestor remained as steady as a mountain, merely peeled its roots from the ground, then raised countless stakes in front of the demon beasts and students, firmly protecting them.
Seeing these stakes, the Dragon Scorpion King swung its tail forward forcefully and directly smashed the stakes to pieces.
However, after these stakes fell, they immediately regrew, and very quickly at that.
At this point, the Dragon Scorpion King coldly said, "Let me meet you."
After saying this, the Dragon Scorpion King leaped forward with force.
As soon as the Tree Ancestor and the Dragon Scorpion King engaged, the ground trembled, and naturally, those demon beasts dared not attack.
The students watched their battle with fear and trepidation, but then something surprising happened; they saw that in just two rounds, the Dragon Scorpion King was instantly suppressed, while the Tree Ancestor still appeared at ease.
"The Tree Ancestor is indeed powerful..."
The students were amazed.
The Dragon Scorpion King truly couldn’t hold on; after all, the Tree Ancestor’s level was higher than its own, and it was also older.
This was the opponent of its forebears back in the day.
"What are you waiting for."
The Dragon Scorpion King shouted towards the Ghost Hunting Wolf King, at which point the Ghost Hunting Wolf King ceased to watch and flew over directly.
In an instant, the Tree Ancestor was to face the battle against two Demon Kings.
Yet, the Tree Ancestor was horrifyingly proficient, so much so that when the third Great Demon joined the battle,
the balance finally tipped, and the Tree Ancestor began to feel the pressure, unable to counter three Demon Kings.
After all, it also needed to reserve strength to protect the students on the ground.
Seeing that they couldn’t take down the Tree Ancestor for the time being, the three Great Demons were quite surprised, but they knew where the Tree Ancestor’s weakness was.
The Dragon Scorpion King issued a command, and the demon beasts on the ground immediately rushed over.
Once the stakes were destroyed, a portion of the slower students was swallowed by the demon beast horde.
Among them were not only three Demon Kings but also a few other rather powerful Great Demons.
"I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die..."
The students, having never experienced such trials, could only despairingly scream when faced with life and death.
The Tree Ancestor fighting in the sky sensed their cries for help, but it was already overwhelmed and couldn’t spare any more power to help them.
Just as the Tree Ancestor frowned, suddenly the ground shook violently, and then there came the heart-rending cries of numerous demon beasts.
Looking over, they saw many demon beasts lying on the ground, rolling around desperately.
Many students were dumbfounded, then looked at what was appearing on the ground, and immediately cried out in panic, "Bugs, so many bugs...."
Indeed.
From the ground, from afar, a large number of bugs crawled out.
Tens of millions.
Hundreds of millions.
Even astonishingly more than a billion.
They swarmed forward like a sea of insects, but their target wasn’t the Human Race, but the Demon Race.
This scene bewildered the students.
Most of the insect race was categorized as demon beasts, why would these bugs come to save them.
Seeing this, the Dragon Scorpion King coldly shouted, "Insect King, what are you doing?"
The Tree Ancestor seemed thoughtful, clearly understanding everything.
With no response from the Insect King, just as the Dragon Scorpion King was about to get angry, a voice came from a distance.
"Dragon Scorpion King, why are you in such a hurry."
The Dragon Scorpion King turned to see Lin Chen sitting on the back of the Little Insect King, slowly flying over.
"Lin Chen?!"
At this moment, both the Dragon Scorpion King and the Ghost Hunting Wolf King turned pale upon seeing Lin Chen.
Their sons had encountered Lin Chen on the Celestial Realm Mountain, and the results were self-explanatory.
For them, this was an enmity as deep as the sea.
As Lin Chen landed, the Tree Ancestor also took the opportunity to withdraw, Lin Chen nodded towards the Tree Ancestor as he landed.
The Tree Ancestor looked at Lin Chen and said, "Do Yu Xiu and the others know?"
"I sent someone to notify them." Lin Chen replied.
The Tree Ancestor glanced at the Little Insect King and then looked at the vast number of bugs and said, "Can’t hold out much longer."
"Should I use that?" Lin Chen asked.
"It’s difficult."
The Tree Ancestor answered.
If Lin Chen used the Dragon Transformation Skill and cooperated with it, it might not be a problem to kill these three Demon Kings.
However, it wasn’t just the three Demon Kings here, there were also several other Demon Kings, along with over a dozen Great Demons.
This lineup was heavily goal-oriented, clearly determined to capture Ling Mountain.
For its firepower had already outstripped the firepower he encountered in South City back in the day.
"They don’t know your strength, you can wait for the right moment to act." The Tree Ancestor transmitted this to Lin Chen, then rose from the ground.
At this moment, the Dragon Scorpion King also said, "Don’t fear these bugs, they’re all useless, eliminate them with full force, take them down."
Upon hearing this, the demon beasts each utilized their skills, putting all efforts into extinguishing the bugs.
The Little Insect King stood with closed eyes beside Lin Chen, directing these bugs to join the battle.
But with every passing second, the dead bugs were calculated in tens of thousands.
Lin Chen also noticed that the Little Insect King’s breath was growing weaker and weaker.
Lin Chen raised his head, watching as the Tree Ancestor fought the three Demon Kings above, waiting for the moment when the Tree Ancestor would signal him.
.....
Ten minutes later, the demon beasts finally cleared most of the insect race.
The Dragon Scorpion King couldn’t wait to give the order, "Take them down."
The demon beasts pounced forward.
Realizing he couldn’t wait for the Tree Ancestor’s signal any longer, Lin Chen lightly clenched his hand, intending to trigger the mark of the Dragon Transformation Skill.
But unexpectedly, the mark became ineffective.
"What is going on?" Lin Chen was shocked.
Yet, with the demon beasts already closing in, Lin Chen felt utterly desperate; watching as a Great Demon came towards him, Xiaobai and the Big White Bear automatically appeared, attempting to block this attack for Lin Chen.
Just then, a tree root appeared, blocking the Great Demon’s attack.
Lin Chen turned to see, surprised to find it was the Spirit-Devouring Vine.
"You...." Lin Chen was flabbergasted.
The only reason they could charge in was that the Spirit-Devouring Vine opened the way inside the Spirit Academy.
And there were quite a few demon beasts in the Spirit Academy as well.
"Da da~~"
The Spirit-Devouring Vine gestured for Lin Chen to look at the sky.
Lin Chen looked up and saw a woman in blue standing above, accompanied by the Great Elder and others.
"It’s the Great Elder!"
"The Great Elder and the others have returned."
"We’re saved."
The students were about to burst into tears.
The sudden appearance of the Great Elder and the others also surprised the Dragon Scorpion King and the Demon Kings.
"Impossible, how did you escape the Illusion Realm." The Dragon Scorpion King looked at the Great Elder incredulously.
The Great Elder, however, looked at the devastated Spirit Academy and the dead students, unable to suppress the fury in his heart any longer:
"You better think about how to get out of this predicament yourselves."
