Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 223: Sixth-Grade Beast Group vs. Chu Sheng’s Insect Race Army
Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Sixth-Grade Beast Group vs. Chu Sheng’s Insect Race Army
The Earth-Splitting Giant Elephant’s massive leg stopped a mere ten centimeters above Su Li and the others’ heads.
Everyone looked up, only to see…
At some point, tens of thousands of densely packed Spirit-Devouring Insect Beasts had appeared on the enormous leg.
Spirit-Devouring Worms were usually only of the First and Second Grades at most, but these particular insect beasts were emanating the aura of the Fourth-Grade!
Not only that,
they were also surrounded by a faint, colorful aura. This aura radiated with the power of several different Realms!
The power of a single Fourth-Grade Insect Beast was insignificant before the Earth-Splitting Giant Elephant.
But what about tens of thousands of Fourth-Grade Insect Beasts empowered by the Power Realm?
“ROAR—”
The Earth-Splitting Giant Elephant let out a piercing cry; its leg was actually being held up by the tens of thousands of Insect Beasts.
Just then, Chu Sheng appeared in front of Gu Yuexi.
“Hiss hiss…”
Gu Yuexi’s eyes widened.
“Are you saying… you handled it? You killed the entire beast group behind us?”
According to their plan, while Gu Yuexi intercepted the stream of beasts here, Chu Sheng was supposed to lead his Insect Beasts to slow down the tide from the rear, ideally diverting a portion of it elsewhere.
Then, they would figure out a way to divide and conquer, dealing with the beast tide in separate chunks.
But now, Chu Sheng was telling her he had already handled it?
He had already killed all of the hundred-plus Demon Beasts at the rear?
’We only agreed you’d delay them… How did this dead mosquito do it?!’
Even Gu Yuexi was shocked. She wouldn’t have been able to deal with such a large beast tide in such a short time. ’Even with the help of these Insect Beasts, it shouldn’t have been that simple, right?’
Meanwhile, Gu Yuexi’s shock was nothing compared to that of the others.
For Su Li and the dozens of other teachers and students, their shock was several times, perhaps even dozens of times, greater.
Were they shocked? No, they were utterly flabbergasted!!!
’A beast group? All killed?’
’Besides the twenty-some Demon Beasts here, there were at least a hundred more behind them!’
They were already having an extremely difficult time fending off just these twenty-odd Demon Beasts, yet the Divine Locust had killed all one hundred plus Demon Beasts at the rear in such a short time?
What did that even mean?
Just looking at that beast group had been enough to make them despair.
At that moment, there were no words to describe what Su Li and the others were feeling. They could only stare blankly at Chu Sheng’s smug expression.
“ROAR!!!”
The Earth-Splitting Giant Elephant’s furious cry rang out again, snapping everyone out of their shock.
Just then, Chu Sheng moved again. Piloting his New Roach Battle Treasure, he slammed upward! BOOM! The force of Chu Sheng’s ram wasn’t immense, but it seemed to provide the final sliver of power the tens of thousands of Insect Beasts were lacking.
With another trumpeting cry from the giant elephant, the Earth-Splitting Giant Elephant’s colossal body was actually lifted off the ground and sent toppling backward!
RUMBLE!
The entire ground trembled as the Earth-Splitting Giant Elephant fell, and for a moment, dust filled the sky.
…
「Twenty minutes earlier.」
After Gu Yuexi removed the camera from her chest, she began discussing the current situation with Chu Sheng.
Faced with such a massive beast tide, Gu Yuexi had no confidence in fending it off. Her plan was to act according to the situation while ensuring her own survival.
However, Chu Sheng shook his head, his eyes shining as he looked at the beast groups within the tide!
’Defend? No, I have to take the initiative and attack!’
’A beast group?’
’I have a beast group too!’
And so, Gu Yuexi watched as Chu Sheng, in the blink of an eye, summoned a full 32,000 Fourth-Grade Early Stage Spirit-Devouring Insect Beasts!
When she saw that their numbers had more than doubled and that they were now Fourth-Grade Realm Insect Beasts, Gu Yuexi was stunned. ’Aren’t this dead mosquito’s Insect Beasts only around the Peak of Second-Grade? How can he upgrade himself? His summoned beasts can upgrade too?’
’Is he not even trying to hide his hacks anymore?’
With the Insect Beasts, everything became much more manageable. Although the gap between the Fourth-Grade Realm and the Sixth-Grade Realm was enormous, it couldn’t stand up to sheer numbers.
Gu Yuexi also had a stroke of genius, adding several types of Realm Auras to the Insect Beasts, such as a Power Realm Aura to increase their strength, a Speed Realm Aura to increase their speed, an Earth Realm Aura to increase their Defense Power, and so on.
Soon, each of the more than thirty thousand Insect Beasts was shimmering with the power of a colorful aura, their combat strength multiplying several times over.
After all this was done, Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng split up according to their plan.
Gu Yuexi went to the Secret Realm Exit to intercept the beast tide, saving Su Li and the others in the process.
Meanwhile, Chu Sheng took his army of Insect Beasts and began to pull away some of the Demon Beasts from the tide, luring them away from the main group.
Originally, without the Realm buffs Gu Yuexi had applied to his army of Insect Beasts, Chu Sheng would have only been able to stall for time.
But there are no “what ifs.”
With the Realm buffs greatly enhancing their various abilities, the army of Insect Beasts significantly raised Chu Sheng’s operational ceiling, allowing him to deal with the Demon Beasts with much more freedom.
Chu Sheng went all out, coordinating with his Celestial Thunder Illusion, using Instant Teleportation, and leveraging the God’s Perspective of his Nether Vision to precisely control every single Insect Beast, pulling off one clutch kite after another.
The frenzied and mindless Demon Beasts were kited and picked off one by one by Chu Sheng, then recycled into Life Essence!
Although he lost some Insect Beasts in the process, his gains were far greater!
A single Sixth-Grade Demon Beast would yield around 6,000 to 7,000 Life Essence when recycled.
In the end, Chu Sheng eliminated a total of 98 Sixth-Grade Demon Beasts, reaping a massive 627,500 Life Essence.
Adding the 780,000 Life Essence he had obtained from recycling the Inner Cores he had “stolen” from Gu Yuexi’s Storage Ring earlier…
[Current Life Essence: 1,467,500]
Over one million four hundred thousand!
Chu Sheng was so happy his mouth nearly went crooked. He had originally planned to upgrade his Insect Beasts again, but he temporarily abandoned the idea because the Seventh-Grade Earth-Splitting Giant Elephant was heading toward Gu Yuexi, and he was worried she wouldn’t be able to hold on.
…
「At the Secret Realm Exit.」
Gu Yuexi once again raised her Divine Thought Cage, blocking the dust kicked up by the falling Earth-Splitting Giant Elephant, as well as the subsequent Demon Beast attacks.
Now, only the twenty or so Demon Beasts here remained, the most powerful of which was the Seventh-Grade Earth-Splitting Giant Elephant.
After falling, the Earth-Splitting Giant Elephant was swarmed by tens of thousands of Spirit-Devouring Worms. Nearly every inch of its skin was being viciously gnawed on by them. Normally, they wouldn’t be able to break its Defense, but under the effect of the Gold Realm Aura Gu Yuexi had applied, they were actually able to slowly devour the Earth-Splitting Giant Elephant’s Qi Blood!
Inside the Divine Thought Cage.
Gu Yuexi’s face was a little pale.
In just a few dozen minutes, she had already consumed a massive amount of Mental Power. If not for the few remaining Elixirs from the Elixir Academy and the three Soul-Clearing and Divine-Restoring Pills Chu Sheng had given her, she wouldn’t have been able to last this long.
“You dead mosquito, what are you still hiding in here for? Hurry up and take care of the remaining Demon Beasts!”
Since Chu Sheng had already summoned his Insect Beasts, Gu Yuexi was no longer afraid of being exposed and directly called him “mosquito.” Besides, from the expressions on Su Li and the others, she had already deduced that her and Chu Sheng’s identities had likely been revealed.
’But it doesn’t matter. I’ve hidden it for so long, it’s about time anyway,’ she thought.
Hearing this, Chu Sheng replied:
“Hiss hiss (How about giving me some of those Realm buffs too? The top-tier ones…)”
Gu Yuexi was speechless, but she still reached out with her other hand and tapped Chu Sheng’s body.
Instantly, a colorful Realm Aura appeared on Chu Sheng’s body as well! It was as if he had donned a suit of battle armor!
This aura was one Gu Yuexi applied directly to Chu Sheng’s main body.
Gu Yuexi had imbued Chu Sheng with Realm Power before, but that was just the singular Life Realm. This time, she applied several types at once!
Under the enhancement of various Perfection and even Great Perfection Level Realms, Chu Sheng immediately felt his combat power increase several-fold, even dozens of times over!
’Woohoo, this feels awesome!’
Chu Sheng immediately shot out of the Divine Thought Cage, transforming into a streak of dazzling, seven-colored light as he charged toward the remaining Demon Beasts…
