Chapter 928 - 664: Sinking Swamp (Part 2)
Corrosive Wind!
The cold and scorching winds, utterly opposite in nature, rushed through, unsettling the mist forming the Kirin Beast and nearly breaking it apart. The Ant Army guarding the Ant King shattered and burned.
Boundless Blade!
Touch of Origin Fire!
The giant mantis swung its forelimbs, paving the way with Metal System sharp edges, unleashing tentacle thunderfire, silver light shining, piercing vertically from the bottom through the Kirin Beast’s abdomen.
The thousand-meter Kirin Beast was cut in half.
A massive number of bodies fell to the ground.
Yet, the mist spread and instantly converged and restored.
The giant mantis hovered above the Kirin Beast, ceasing its attack.
The Ink Orchid was shocked, angry.
The ambush succeeded, successfully breaking through layers of defense, piercing the Kirin Beast, but failed to kill the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King.
—Flash Strike Ability!
—Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King also acquired Flash Strike ability through the Divine-Grade Fruit!
Moreover, combined with Wind and Water System abilities, created an even stronger mobility ability.
At the crucial moment, it teleported away from the fatal blow.
—Nightfall Ability!
When Ink Orchid used Soul-Setting ability to perceive again, it could no longer find the trace of Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King inside the Kirin Beast.
"It realized that I have some Soul System ability, capable of precisely locking its location."
Ink Orchid was seething with anger and rage.
Damn traitor!
Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King has already exhibited four abilities given by Divine-Grade Fruit.
And all of these are crucial powerful abilities.
Did the Insect Clan Warrior privately trade and circulate to end up in the claws of Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King?
It’s generally hard for the Insect Clan to gather these four Divine Grades, right?
Flame Spider Roving Merchant?
How many Flame Spider Roving Merchants can acquire four types of Divine-Grade Fruits? Getting just one is remarkable!
Not just one traitor? And none of them are insignificant insects.
"Or, it wouldn’t be the Snow Velvet Old Spider, would it? No wonder I always found it displeasing..."
Ink Orchid’s mind flashed but then rejected this guess.
If Snow Velvet were to leak information, Rainbow Island would have been destroyed by the Stone Hunt Blue Ant Army a long time ago, and Dragon Cypress’s King Cypress would have been snatched.
First, eliminate the possibility of the Snow Velvet Spider King.
Ink Orchid quickly composed itself, Super Brain rapidly working, analyzing the situation at hand.
—Soul-Setting ability is ineffective, unable to lock Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King’s precise location, coupled with its Flash Strike ability, attacking directly and executing is impossible.
—Then it can only be a battle of attrition, exhausting its Primordial Energy!
—Or perhaps draining its Soldier Ants?
—Or lure it into terrain advantageous to me?
Ink Orchid analyzed the advantages and disadvantages, formulated a set of tactics, shed Metal Primordial Energy, and the giant mantis vanished.
The Great Ink Orchid transformed into a solitary Wind System invisible form.
Ink Orchid glanced around, speechless.
The flying Insect Clan Warriors of Zhibai Continent hid far away, hovering and watching, not having the slightest intention to assist.
The Hawk Wasps Army also hovered a kilometer away from the battlefield, uncertain about what they were thinking.
"Didn’t they see me fail the execution?"
"What are they waiting for? Get in and help!"
Ink Orchid was quietly annoyed.
Inside the Kirin Beast, a furious roar of spiritual power and mind emerged, "Seven-Colored Orchid Mantis! Why do you intervene in the Southern Hemisphere’s war?"
"???"
Ink Orchid’s eyes brightened momentarily then dimmed, capturing the Ant King’s location, but the ant was cautious, losing perception before action could take place.
...
...
—What insect is that?
—Mantis?
—No kidding!
—Where did this terrifying mantis come from!
—Just now, did it break through the Kirin Beast?
—Seemingly aiming to kill the hidden Ant King inside but failed.
—Don’t panic, everyone! It’s our kind of insect~!
—That’s the Rainbow Island’s Mantis King Ink Orchid!
—Mantis King Ink Orchid is here to ambush Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King.
Insects watching the battle above and below were shocked again and again, minds filled with boundless awe.
The three, Purple, Green Heart, Color Steel, who had been hiding in the beehive for over four or five days, rushed out.
Color Steel flew rapidly towards Assistant King Yellow Thorn commanding the bee swarm from the rear.
"Yellow Thorn, don’t panic! It’s the Rainbow Island’s Mantis King Ink Orchid. Dragon Cypress Ant King had calculated it precisely that Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King would come to Wind Phoenix Mountain for revenge, thus secretly sent Mantis King Ink Orchid to ambush!"
"You knew this all along?"
"I just found out. That bastard Purple already knew, but it just told me now."
"Are you sure this is the infamous Mantis King Ink Orchid, who killed three Kirin Beasts and fifteen Sea Beasts?"
"Pretty much confirmed, isn’t that strong enough?"
"Strong... but... probably... this Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King is similarly more powerful than estimated!"
Yellow Thorn, who has been through hundreds of battles, keenly senses the situation.
Just now, the set of fierce attacks by Ink Orchid was clearly aimed at the Ant King; by common sense, the beheading should already have smoothly succeeded on the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King.
But it fell short.
Yellow Thorn also sensed that many abilities similar in nature to those shown by Ink Orchid were exhibited on the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King.
This phenomenon can only be explained by them having consumed the same Divine-Grade Fruits.
A traitor is providing Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King with Divine-Grade Fruits!
This Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King has also acquired many powerful abilities via Divine-Grade Fruits.
The thousand-meter Kirin Beast that was already indomitable, further augmented by the awakening of talents from Divine-Grade Fruits, abilities granted by Divine-Grade Fruits, its power has qualitatively transformed, becoming nearly invincible.
"Color Steel, notify Yellow Hemp, Yellow Leaf, Yellow Heart, Mantis King Ink Orchid originally planned to execute Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King swiftly and end the battle, but it failed. Next, it seems intent on using continuous attrition tactics against the enemy, let’s quickly organize the Hawk Wasps Army to harass and assist in battle."
"Green Heart! Notify all participating airborne insect kings, activate abilities based on the situation, erode the Kirin Beast’s Primordial Energy. Maintain a safety distance of one kilometer from Kirin Beast, keep flight altitude continuously above a hundred meters higher than Kirin Beast, this maximizes avoidance of injury from suddenly erupting abilities."
