Chapter 856: 856

The fortunate thing was, although his hand had pressed the button, it seemed the button had grown rusty from not being used for so long . It got stuck and didn’t immediately activate .

“Get back!” Yue Xiaoqian pulled on Long Chen’s other hand, pulling him away . Long Chen was embarrassed, not knowing what he had done .

“I sensed what is inside just now . Perhaps we won’t be able to obtain the peak grade Heavenly Source Extract!” said Yue Xiaoqian . “Close your eyes . I’ll transmit what I sensed . ”

Yue Xiaoqian pressed two fingers on Long Chen’s forehead . A scene appeared in his mind . At first, it was indistinct, but it gradually became clearer .

He saw a long and narrow passage that was filled completely with black insects . Each insect was five feet long and completely black . They had eight legs and two hooks at the front that shone with a cold light .

“Corpse Devouring Insects?! How could they grow this big?” Long Chen might not be claustrophobic, but seeing this many insects filling the passage, he felt a chill .

The entire passage was overflowing with them all the way to the end . In fact, it was impossible to see the end . At the same time as he was shocked by this scene, he was also shocked by Yue Xiaoqian’s abilities . This stone gate and the wall had formations that made it so even his powerful soul energy was unable to sense what was beyond it .

“These are not the outside world’s ordinary Corpse Devouring Insects . They are Gadfly-Ants, an ancient variant of the Corpse Devouring Insects . They live underground all their lives, absorbing the Death Qi in the air as food . Without corpses to eat, they will enter a hibernation state and still not die . In theory, they can live forever . They don’t have ranks as they are not classified as Magical Beasts . They are simply one of the world’s strange creatures . The poison on their hooks is extremely corrosive, and even seventh rank Magical Beasts, if they aren’t heavily armored beasts, would not be able to stop the corrosion . This channel is almost thirty miles long and three hundred miles high . I don’t know if it’s because they were given too much time that they reproduced, but the entire channel is filled with them . If we opened the door, we would have been drowned by them,” said Yue Xiaoqian .

These Gadfly-Ant Corpse Devouring Insects were too difficult to deal with . Even in the ancient era, they were extremely famous for their terror . They were the nightmare of countless cultivators, as no one wanted to provoke them .

Long Chen couldn’t help sighing . If only he had a completely sealed armor like Guo Ran’s . According to Yue Xiaoqian, the offensive power of these insects far surpassed sixth rank Magical Beasts . A single sting could be fatal .

“Then how about this: I’ll think of some way to draw them away,” said Long Chen .

“How?”

“I’ll dig a hole here and then open the door, bringing the insect army in . Then you go in and take the treasure,” said Long Chen . He could only go with such a clumsy method .

If the Earth Flame was not in slumber, he could use it to attack . These insects definitely wouldn’t be able to defend against that . But Huo Long was still digesting the immense energy from the other Earth Flame . As for thunderforce, it wasn’t very effective against these insects .

“Will that really work? These insects are extremely fast . They can fly,” said Yue Xiaoqian .

“Don’t worry, I’m confident in my speed . ” Long Chen looked around . Suddenly, he flew on top of the huge statue’s head . He was looking around for a good spot for Yue Xiaoqian to hide .

But once he was on the statue’s head, he saw a good recess in it . That recess was the notch in the helmet . If she hid here, then unless the insects flew above the statue’s head, they wouldn’t be able to sense her . It was an excellent hiding spot .

“Xiaoqian, I’ll do my best to draw out all the insects while you hide here . ”

“Are you sure this will work? I feel like it’s very risky,” said Yue Xiaoqian . Those insects were just too powerful .

Long Chen smiled . Yue Xiaoqian was still the same Yue Xiaoqian . She was incredibly learned, but her actual experience was pitifully low . She was still a novice .

Since he had already thought things through, Long Chen didn’t hesitate any longer . He spread his divine sense, and at the entrance, he slashed his sword above .

BOOM! Sword Qi destroyed the roof . The outside world was revealed .

Although the Xiao tribe had marked this place, they hadn’t come here . In other words, this was an abandoned trial .

It was fortunate they hadn’t come here, as if they had, they would find that this wasn’t a trial, but a deathtrap . Long Chen slashed his sword several times, creating a large opening that made it convenient for them if they needed to run . The channel needed to be wide enough so that even if the mass of insects appeared, they could still get out .

He had just prepared this when he suddenly frowned . He sensed something .

He sent a message to Yue Xiaoqian, telling her not to move and to just wait there . He flew above ground and stealthily looked around . Sensing the direction, he rushed off .

This feeling was strange and was also familiar to him . He thought he was sensing someone he was friends with . But when he crossed a mountain, he saw a figure that made him stunned .

“Huang Junmo!”

This person was precisely the Bloodkill Hall’s number one expert . He was looking at a map in his hand, looking for something .

“Hehe, I’ve got it!” Long Chen stealthily crept back, spreading some medicinal powders to change the look of the ground . It quickly began to change color, and according to a normal inspection, it would look like it had been thousands of years since anyone had come here .

He then took out Flying Rainbow . A ray of light soared into the sky and then returned .

He had just been about to add some more elements into the mixture when he sensed Huang Junmo moving . Although he couldn’t see him, that familiar feeling was growing closer .

That feeling came from Huang Junmo’s sword . Back when he had stabbed Long Chen, his sword had been dyed by his blood . For some unknown reason, he was extremely sensitive to his own blood . He had actually been able to sense Huang Junmo because of it .

This was destiny . How could Long Chen let this opportunity slip by? He shut all his pores and once more scattered medicinal powders, erasing the leftover odor in the air .

He couldn’t leave behind any clues . A peak assassin like Huang Junmo would immediately see through the slightest mistake .

After completing this, Long Chen returned to the underground plaza . On the way, he continuously sprinkled medicinal powders, concealing his and Yue Xiaoqian’s auras .

“Xiaoqian, close your pores . Don’t release the slightest aura . Follow my lead; we’ve run into a precious person . ”

He repeatedly warned her to keep herself completely concealed . Then he asked the Eastern Wasteland Bell, “Senior, help me out . It’s just a little thing . ”

“What is it?”

“Hehe, it really is just an insignificant matter for you . ”

Huang Junmo flew underground . Just now, he had seen a flicker of light coming from here . Although he hadn’t seen it clearly, he had still flown over .

As soon as he arrived, he had seen the underground cave and carefully entered . He constantly looked around, also paying attention to the footprints on the ground .

Long Chen laughed sinisterly . It was fortunate he had come prepared and hidden all the markings . Even if there were signs that people had come, they seemed extremely old . There were no clues .

“The Immortal Dao is transcendental, while all living things have mundane troubles; destiny exists in the mortal world, and priceless treasures belong only to the fated . ”

Huang Junmo had just entered the plaza when an ancient voice reverberated throughout the room . It possessed a shocking weight to it, as if each word was the ringing of a monastery temple’s bell, shaking people’s hearts . It was like the teachings of gods, something no one would dare to disrespect .

These words came from Long Chen’s mouth . However, the Eastern Wasteland Bell was adding some special effects . Even Yue Xiaoqian was stunned . She didn’t understand what was going on . The two of them were hiding in the recess at the head of the statue .

Long Chen was enveloped by some sort of holy light, making him look like a god . He was reciting some thought-provoking and profound Buddhist allegories .

“Little fellow, you really are talented . Such nonsense words are spouted from your mouth without the slightest hesitation . ” Even the Eastern Wasteland Bell had to admire this ability of his .

“Hehe, it’s all thanks to senior’s cooperation . Work with me until the end,” laughed Long Chen .

“Who’s there?!” shouted Huang Junmo, his sword already in his hand .

“This lord is the Great Spirit God’s subordinate, the seventh divine general, Huyou Niyadenidaye!” said Long Chen .

Huang Junmo’s heart shook . He stared at the huge statue, not saying a word . He was somewhat unable to believe that this statue in front of him was alive .

But after his initial disbelief, he heard the divine charm and Immortal Dao within that voice . There was no way a human could make such a sound .

“Disciple is Huang Junmo . Greetings, senior Huyou… Niyadenidaye . Please forgive me for my previous offense . ” Huang Junmo bowed . This divine name Long Chen had come up with was too awkward-sounding . If it weren’t for Huang Junmo’s great memory, there would have been no way for him to repeat it .

“You’re not kneeling in front of this lord? You must be insincere and disrespectful . You have no destiny with my treasure . Even if you are… Enpuda’s disciple, the rules can’t be broken . ”

Originally, Long Chen realized he was about to make a slip of the tongue and say he was from the Bloodkill Hall . But he suddenly realized his mistake and stopped . Luckily, the Eastern Wasteland Bell had taken his place to speak .

Hearing the name Enpuda, Huang Junmo was shocked . That name could not be randomly spoken . Other than the Bloodkill Hall’s higher-ups, no one knew that name . Even he had only earned the qualifications to hear it half a month ago .

Huang Junmo immediately knelt on the ground, prostrating himself . “Disciple was rude! Please forgive me!”

忽悠逆丫德泥达椰=Huyou Niyadenidaye . This name is a homonym for 忽悠你丫的你大爷 . 忽悠=trick/dupe . 你丫的 and 你大爷 are curses . You can just treat them as ‘fuck you’ . On a curse scale, they rank middling .
