Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 65 – Locust

Yang Junshan never thought that the locust locust was actually in the pomegranate forest, on top of the tallest pomegranate tree beside the Spirit Spring Cave!

When he finally confirmed that the giant locust in front of him was definitely a demonic insect king, Yang Junshan had the feeling that he had lifted a rock and smashed it on his own foot. He could only hope that everyone wouldn’t discover the existence of the Spirit Spring Cave when they entered the pomegranate forest.

Thinking till this point, Yang Junshan had no choice but to glance at Xu Jing who was at the side. Previously, she was the one who heard the unusual sound of giant locust flying in the air, which was why he brought the group of people here.

Aside from the already demonified Insect King who was a foot long, the rest of the giant locust s were actually around seven to eight inches long. They were almost twice as big as ordinary three-four inch long giant locust s.

These dozens of giant locust were jumping up and down in the pomegranate forest, or flying to and from the ground. However, they were always within a thirty meter radius from the giant locust’s body, protecting the locust.

“Kacha, kacha!”

Yang Junshan looked over when he heard the noise, and saw that the locust was actually nibbling on the huge red pomegranate that was on the pomegranate tree. It was not afraid of the pain from the pomegranate skin, and immediately splattered the juice that was on the seed along with the skin.

The giant pomegranate that was growing on the pomegranate tree was originally Yang Junshan’s plan to pick them for little sister to eat. These large pomegranates had suffered greatly from the nourishment of the spirit spring water and the juices already carried a trace of spirit energy, it was an extremely good taste, it was extremely beneficial for Yang Junxin who had not started cultivating, Yang Junshan himself was not willing to eat them, but now, he was letting a bug eat so happily!

He had to kill it!

Without waiting for Yang Junshan to express anything, Zhang Huzi who was at the side could not hold back anymore. He punched out with both of his fists: “Are you going to rush up and kill that guy right now?”

Everyone heard him and were too lazy to pay attention to him. Su Baozhang on the other hand had a good temper, he explained: “These guys can all fly, if you go up now, don’t even mention whether or not you are the opponent of a group of giant locust, if all of them fly away, where can we go to find you?”

Zhang Huzi knew that he had said something stupid, but he still stubbornly replied. “It’s just a nest of locusts, no matter how big it is.

However, Yang Junshan knew the strength of these giant locust, so he glanced at the locust which was still nibbling on the pomegranate fruit, and said while thinking: “I am confident that I can kill that insect king, but the death of the insect king will definitely cause the other giant locust to take revenge, and at that time, I’m afraid that everyone will need to work together to fend them off!”

Everyone nodded, but only Xu Jing suddenly said: “Brother Jun Shan, you seem to be very familiar with the giant locust group, this time our village can prepare for the invasion of the locust group one day ahead of the other villages, could it be that Village Head and Brother Jun Shan have seen this group of giant locust groups before?”

Yang Junshan nodded his head and said: “A few days ago when I brought Hu Niu to hunt on the Western Mountain, I had already seen and killed a giant locust. At that time, the giant locust was only three to four inches tall, but once it died, the surrounding grass and grasshoppers immediately exploded.

Yang Junshan knew that the Tuqiu Village had warned the giant locust of the disaster ahead of time and had unrestrainedly purchased the spiritual valley on the day before the giant locust arrived. Sooner or later, it would arouse the suspicions of others, and rather than hiding it, Yang Junshan might as well say it out loud and spread it to let others know.

As he spoke, Yang Junshan had already grasped the hard bow in his hand as he placed one of the rune arrows on top of it and said solemnly, “Get ready!”

The locust was unable to sense the danger that had unwittingly descended upon its head and continued to jump up and down the pomegranate tree, using its intuition to search for the pomegranate fruit that contained the most spirit energy. However, the Spirit Spring Cave not far away from the pomegranate tree was blocked by the Spirit Sealing Slate, which made the locust tree unable to detect it.

“Bang, whoosh!”

Two explosive sounds rang out, and when the locust noticed that something was wrong, the rune arrow had already arrived in front of it before the sound could be heard.

However, in a rush, the locust still reacted, a pair of wings as thin as cicada’s wings suddenly unfolded behind it, and the locust instantly soared into the sky, actually attempting to fly backwards in midair, while the two pairs of forelegs below its abdomen were folded in front of it, perfectly forming a defensive posture, whilair of powerful hind legs took advantage of the opportunity to kick out towards the rune arrow.

However, the Spirit Demon locust still underestimated the might of Yang Junshan’s Seven Stones Strong Bow and Rune Arrow. The Rune Arrow carried a strong bow force and directly broke apart the Spirit Demon locust’s rear legs, and the arrow suddenly exploded, shattering its chest and abdomen. At the same time, Yang Junshan could sense a faint Spirit Demon Qi suddenly emitting from the Spirit Demon locust’s body.

The locust fell from the sky, but the pair of wings were still trembling rapidly. A strange cry came from the heavily injured locust, causing the surrounding giant locust to explode.

He actually didn’t kill him!

Yang Junshan’s gaze darkened, the locust was obviously more tenacious than he expected.

Dozens of giant locusround him rushed towards them, while Yang Junshan placed the second rune arrow on the bow. He saw that after the Spirit Demon locust fell to the ground, its three pairs of legs were already shattered into pieces by the rune arrow, but he still barely managed to use his wings to dodge towards the back of the tree.

These dozens of giant locust guarding the locust swarm were extremely fast, and before Yang Junshan could shoot the second arrow, they had already pounced in front of everyone. Zhang Huzi was the first to shout out loud, he punched out fiercely, bringing a strong gust of wind, and smashed towards one of the giant locust that was flying towards him.

“Be careful of their wings and hind legs!”

Seeing Zhang Huzi being so stupid, Yang Junshan had no choice but to remind him, but that Zhang Huzi obviously knew how powerful his iron fists were, and did not take Yang Junshan’s warning to heart.

“Aiya!” Although the giant locust that was charging at him was smashed into meat paste by his punch, the back of his right hand was also cut open by one of the giant locust’s hind legs.

Although these giant locust guards were not a match for these youths, under the fearless charge, they put the five of them in a difficult position, especially the few tens of giant locust charging together, which often made them lose out.

Zhang Huzi’s cultivation was half of his iron fists, and after he completely refined the mid grade immortal spirit and broke through the spirit cavities in his body, his fists had already been refined to the same color as the black iron. However, if it was still able to cut through Blood Edge, there was no need to mention the others.

He had already killed six giant locust guards, but two bloody wounds had been made on his back. These wounds were caused by the wings of one of the giant locust guards, as well as his clothes being damaged, but unfortunately, Yang Junshan and the others did not manage to bring his beast skin clothes to the top of the mountain because it was too cumbersome, otherwise, he would be able to block the charge of the giant locust guards.

As for the wood knife in his hand, originally, Yang Junshan had wanted him to buy a hundred refined steel blade or longsword, but he said that he could only use wood blades smoothly, and insisted on making a hundred refined steel blade, which was considered a strange matter.

Xu Jing looked even more miserable now, but there were already more than seven to eight giant locust who had died under her hands, and there were not a single wound on her body. But compared to Su Baozhang and Zhang Huzi who were on a hard horse and had to fight against the giant locust, Xu Jing was not willing to let these disgusting things cut her own skin, especially when she was about to kill two giant locust in one fell swoop, she did not expect the third one to suddenly appear from the back of her head.

At this time, Xu Lei had performed exceptionally well, surrounding his with giant locushat were flying in her direction. As a result, there were already three to four bloody wounds on his body, and the number of giant locust that died in his hands also numbered four to five.

And after Zhang Huzi suffered a loss in the beginning, he became a lot more obedient after learning, but he was already very dazed in himself, even if he learned a little, he had a limit. Amongst the four of them, he had killed the most giant locust guards, almost ten of them, but they had also suffered the most, and their clothes were tattered beyond recognition.

However, the gap between the four of them and Yang Junshan was much more obvious. Yang Junshan was holding ontreasure sword, and under the continuous attacks of the giant locust, he was able to easily dodge the attacks of the giant locust guards, and at the same time, every time he stabbed out with his rune short sword, he was able to accurately hit one of the giant locust guards. Until now, there was not a single wound on Yang Junshan’s body, and the number of giant locust that fell around him had already exceeded 15.

“More than half of the giant locust’s guards have been killed. Brother Jun Shan, don’t let the insect king escape, otherwise we will lose everything!”

Although Xu Jing looked to be in a sorry state while dodging, her eyes were very cunning. The surrounding scenes were all in her eyes, and she naturally saw Yang Junshan’s calmness.

“Don’t worry, it won’t be able to escape. Didn’t you hear traces of Hu Niu?”

A ray of light flew out from the rune short sword in Yang Junshan’s hands, and at the same time, with a “Du” sound, it pierced a hole three inches deep intomegranate tree. Right at this time, a roar suddenly came from behind the pomegranate tree, it was unknown when Hu Niu, who had arrived at the back of the forest, suddenly pounced out of the grass, pressing down the locust that was trying to escape after getting heavily injured onto it.

“Be careful!”

Just then, Yang Junshan was startled, the moment Hu Niu grabbed onto the locust, two giant locust s suddenly jumped down from the trees on both sides, with their sharp rear legs they stabbed straight into Hu Niu’s eyes.

The rune short sword in Yang Junshan’s hand was thrown towards one of the giant locust, while he himself charged forward and struck the other giant locust. With a “chi la” sound, the clothes on Yang Junshan’s back were already torn apart by the giant locust’s wing spikes, and sparkling beads of blood immediately seeped out.
