Chapter 117: Pursuit and Turning Point

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Yan tightened his limbs and used the fastest speed he had ever used in his life. He turned into a black shadow and quickly jumped up the rock wall.

Under the cliff behind him, the dense cries of insects overlapped and slowly turned into a deafening sound. It was like a funeral song that stimulated Lin Yan’s nerves.

His scalp was already cold, and the coldness ran straight to the soles of his feet. He tied the sculptures, saber arms, and other things to his body and flew out along the same path.

At least, this group of insect monsters was not as fast as him.

His feet moved quickly, and the surrounding poisonous fog was sometimes thick and sometimes faint. The tremors behind him seemed to be getting further and further away.

Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. The ground around him was filled with mud, dust, and dead leaves. Under the ground, there was an increasingly powerful tremor.

This feeling…

Without hesitation, Lin Yan crazily infused his blood energy into his legs. He raised his right leg high and suddenly stomped on the ground like a ten-thousand-pound hammer.

BANG!

The ground shook violently, and countless cracks instantly appeared on the ground. He stepped out of a huge pit, and there was a faint sound of “Hehehe”.

Lin Yan also leaped forward with the force of this step and darted out.

The ground behind him instantly split open, and more than ten bone spike tentacles suddenly stabbed out. Four to five insect monsters that looked like huge bronze squids suddenly crawled out. They opened their shells and transformed into mantis forms, letting out sharp cries as they chased after Lin Yan.

Lin Yan ran away. Thinking of the animal internal organs he had seen previously, his expression turned uglier.

He should have known that the insect monsters did not only exist in the abyss. These insect monsters were probably everywhere in this dense forest!

Now, they seemed to have been stimulated by something and surged out crazily. If he was pestered by them and attracted the insect tide behind, he would be dead!

Lin Yan was extremely fast. Although the insect monsters were agile, they were quickly left behind.

The poisonous fog began to thicken again. There were tall withered trees around him, and there were no signs of life.

Suddenly, a few thin gusts of wind blew.

“Where did this airflow come from… Above my head!”

Lin Yan’s expression suddenly turned sharp, and alarm bells rang all over his body. He stomped hard and forcefully pushed his body to the right.

In an instant, a sharp saber beam descended from the sky and brushed past his skin and hair!

A huge insect monster actually hid on the tree with its protective color and suddenly fell from the sky!

The insect monster missed the first attack. Its huge body pressed down like a spring and suddenly bounced up. It pounced at Lin Yan like a huge grasshopper.

Lin Yan’s feet did not stabilize, so he could only twist his body to dodge the two saber arms that were slashing at him. However, his body could not dodge and was thrown to the ground by the insect monster.

The sharp legs were like seven or eight iron hoops that firmly wrapped around Lin Yan’s body. A pungent smell of insects assaulted his nose.

Immediately after, its huge four-petal mouth opened, revealing its ferocious internal structure. It spat out incomparably smelly mucus and bit at Lin Yan’s head!

Lin Yan stretched out his hands and grabbed the insect monster’s chin, holding its head firmly.

The huge rough buns and insect head were close at hand. Four dark red compound eyes the size of eggs were stuck to the tip of his nose. Countless dense small eyes kept moving, looking extremely terrifying.

Lin Yan shouted and his blood energy surged violently, causing his palm to swell. With his huge brute force, he shouted and forcefully broke off a piece of its lower left mouth!

The insect monster immediately let out a miserable cry. Its mouthpart leaked out, and mucus sprayed out.

Lin Yan changed his strength and angrily kneed the insect monster’s lower abdomen, flipping its entire body over.

Lying on the ground, he could feel the ground tremble faintly. There were rustling sounds around him. More insect monsters were gathering!

Just as he was about to stand up, he realized that his body had staggered and four tentacles were wrapped around his feet!

Two saber beams appeared again and slashed at Lin Yan’s neck.

Clang! Clang!

At the critical moment, Lin Yan bent down and lowered his head. He used the two saber arms tied to his back to block the two saber beams.

Then, he reached out and pulled out the saber arm on his back. He slashed fiercely, and the four tentacles on his feet immediately broke.

The insect monster howled in pain, but its two saber arms were merciless. They continuously slashed down crazily, forming a thick saber storm that enveloped Lin Yan.

Lin Yan had also completely become ruthless. He waved the two saber arms in his hand with brute force. He had to end the battle quickly!

The two dense saber lights intertwined. In an instant, they collided countless times before suddenly stopping.

In the next moment, a slanted green blood line suddenly shot out of the insect monster’s head. The upper and lower parts of its head were tilted and slid down.

Lin Yan reached out and grabbed the Spirit Marrow that had appeared in the head again. He dragged the body that had been slashed into a blood gourd and fled.

His saber technique was far weaker than this insect monster. He relied on his advantage in strength and speed to exchange injuries and kill this insect monster.

However, this method was fine against one insect monster. If he was surrounded by a group of insect monsters, he would definitely die.

His footsteps were fast, and his wounds quickly healed. This gave Lin Yan confidence. As long as he was in the poisonous fog, it was impossible for him to die easily!

After running for a distance, the concentration of the surrounding poisonous fog seemed to be higher.

Lin Yan sniffed and thought of the previous two times. A bad feeling flashed across his eyes.

Indeed, five huge insect monsters suddenly darted out of the poisonous fog in front of him. Their compound eyes protruded and they surrounded Lin Yan with roars.

“It’s related to the concentration of the poisonous fog! These insect monsters like to appear in places with dense poisonous fog!”

Lin Yan changed directions and fled in another direction. At this moment, he couldn’t be bothered to return the way he came. The most important thing was to prevent himself from being surrounded by the insect monsters!

When the five insect monsters behind him saw Lin Yan fleeing, two of them suddenly crawled on the ground and aimed their heads in Lin Yan’s direction. They suddenly hissed sharply!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of explosions sounded.

Lin Yan’s eyes suddenly focused. Between the upper and lower bodies of the two insect monsters, the circle of black sarcomas that looked like prayer beads actually expanded and squirmed, shooting at him like cannonballs!

The sarcoma balls were extremely fast. When the two insects attacked together, there were more than 30 of them, but they were strangely not aimed at him. Instead, they were evenly distributed in the space around him!

Lin Yan’s heart sank, and his muscles tensed to the limit!

In the next moment, all the sarcoma balls around him exploded!

As the mucus splattered, a black shadow the size of a baby’s head crawled out of each ball. Their mouths widened as they pounced at Lin Yan!

Lin Yan’s breathing suddenly tightened. These black shadows were clearly miniature insect monsters!

Their flesh was white, and there was only a long tentacle behind them. There were no bone spikes, and their saber arms were not formed. There were seven to eight pairs of spider-like limbs and claws on their left and right. They were sharp and pitch-black, and they looked like facehuggers. They were extremely disgusting!

Lin Yan’s reaction was extremely fast. He immediately waved the saber arms in his hands into the wind and cut off more than half of the baby insect monsters. However, more than ten insect monsters pounced on him and used their tentacles to tightly bind his arms, waist, and legs. They clawed and bit with their mouths.

“Huh?”

An extremely strong heat surged out from all over his body. Compared to the blood energy produced by inhaling the poisonous fog, it was several times more.

The heat flow was too strong, so much so that just as these baby insect monsters bit open the wound, it immediately healed again.

Lin Yan instantly understood that this baby insect monster’s attack method was to inject poison into the enemy’s body through hooking claws and biting.

If it was an ordinary animal or human, no matter how big they were, even if they were at the Noble Realm, they would probably not be able to withstand such a large amount of poison and would not be able to move in a few seconds.

Unfortunately, they met Lin Yan…

As Lin Yan ran, he tore at the baby insect monster on his body. He ignored the adult insect monsters behind him and disappeared into the depths of the forest in the blink of an eye.

The adult insect monsters behind him seemed to be relaxed as they followed closely behind Lin Yan. However, after a while, they stopped and collided with each other, letting out surprised cries, as if they were puzzled. That guy was clearly poisoned, so why did he disappear?

As he fled, Lin Yan didn’t return the way he came. Instead, he specially chose a place where the poisonous fog was weak.

As expected, the number of insect monsters he encountered along the way immediately decreased.

Although he would still encounter them, he had never been suddenly attacked again. At least, he had discovered them from 100 feet away.

Although the insect monsters followed him all the way, Lin Yan was already fast. Furthermore, he had an endless supply of blood energy, so he was not afraid of prolonged consumption.

Just like that, he darted left and right, specially choosing the places where the poisonous fog was weak. From time to time, he would attract a few insect monsters to chase after him and shake them off. After two hours.

Lin Yan’s breathing suddenly cleared, and the heat in his body suddenly decreased. His vision suddenly widened.

“I’m out!”

In front of him was a rather open valley. The sky was clear, and the green mountains and rivers were separated from the poisonous fog behind him.

Lin Yan’s breathing suddenly relaxed, but he didn’t stop. He ran a hundred meters away before stopping and turning to stare at the poisonous fog behind him.

About half an hour ago, he encountered another seven to eight insect monsters from afar. They chased after him.

At this moment, he estimated that the seven to eight insect monsters had not been shaken off and would catch up to him.

Soon, Lin Yan heard a group of sharp cries. In the poisonous fog behind him, a few black shadows were faintly discernible. It was the group of insect monsters that had chased after him.

And yet…

“They didn’t come out?!”

Lin Yan’s eyes lit up. This group of seven to eight insect monsters actually stopped in the poisonous fog and did not come out!

“Are they not used to leaving the poisonous fog, or is it not suitable for them to survive outside the poisonous fog?”

Lin Yan reached out and pulled on his shoulder. The string of statues hanging on his back immediately fell. He held the two saber arms in his hand, and his eyes flickered.

The group of poisonous insects was still gathered at the entrance of the poisonous fog. They wandered left and right, but they did not come out.

“We’ll know what’s going on after giving it a try!”

Lin Yan did not forget that there was Spirit Marrow in this insect monster’s body!

As long as he had enough Spirit Marrow, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds. He could not miss this opportunity.

However, these insect monsters were really cunning. It was possible that it was their scheme. Lin Yan had suffered twice and no longer treated these insect monsters as ordinary wild beasts.

He turned around and immediately squatted down. He removed the rope from the statues and tied it to the saber arm.

Then, he carefully observed his surroundings and approached carefully at a moderate speed until he was about five meters away from the poisonous fog.

With his speed, as long as he was prepared and was not surrounded, the insect monsters could not sneak attack him.

“At this distance, it’s about time…”

In the poisonous fog, the insect monsters were faintly discernible, but they did not take a step out of the poisonous fog.

Lin Yan’s strength surged out violently. He turned around and swung his saber arm fiercely.

The saber arm immediately turned into a spinning flying blade that instantly tore through the air, stirring up a wave of churning air. As it blew away the poisonous fog, it shot towards several insect monsters!

The insect monsters were already prepared and nimbly dodged left and right. The saber arm flew past a few insect monsters, but it did not hit any of them.

However, Lin Yan’s eyes lit up as he removed the strength he had prepared.

Naturally, he did not expect to hit the insect monsters with that throw just now. However, after throwing out the saber, he lost his balance and used up his strength. If these insect monsters really wanted to ambush him, that moment just now would be the best opportunity for them to assassinate him!

However, these insect monsters did not move at all. Moreover, they deliberately dodged the range of the poisonous fog that was blown away.

These insect monsters were afraid of places without poisonous fog!
