Chapter 1724: Battle of Fierce Insects

"Blood-Transforming Butterflies! We have a chance."

Han Li was no longer as ignorant as when he first entered the Spirit Realm. Once he saw the appearance of these green butterflies, he gasped and immediately revealed a look of wild joy.

"It really is this fierce butterfly! Great. These butterflies and the Silver Tide Insects are natural enemies; once they meet, it is a fight to the death," Liu Shui'er also used a secret technique to see the true appearance of these green butterflies and was equally overjoyed.

"We indeed have a chance to escape. But we must be careful not to be caught in their battle. Otherwise, our lives will definitely be lost," Shi Kun also perked up.

"At a time like this, it is not easy for the three of us to stay together. Otherwise, the target is too large, and we might be targeted by both kinds of fierce insects. Anyway, we are only a short distance from the forbidden ruin, and we all know the map. It would be better to split up and flee. Two months later, we will gather at the ruin site," Han Li said calmly.

Hearing Han Li's words, the other two were stunned.

But Shi Kun reacted first and agreed decisively:

"Fellow Daoist Han's words make sense. At this time, the smaller the target, the easier it is to save our lives. Let's follow this plan; we will each rely on our own fate and save our lives first."

Liu Shui'er hesitated, but after weighing it several times, she finally gritted her teeth and nodded.

Thus, at this critical moment, the three of them only exchanged a few words via voice transmission and decided on the strategy of splitting up to flee.

At this moment, the green clouds in the distance had already flown nearby in an instant. Even without using divine abilities, one could clearly see the appearance of the green butterflies filling the sky with the naked eye.

These fierce butterflies changed their buzzing sound without a word, and nine-tenths of the green clouds rushed toward the silver tide behind, while a few other clusters headed straight for Han Li and the other thousands of beasts.

The silver tide behind, seeing this, did not show weakness. It also split into two, with the majority of the silver torrent rushing to meet the green clouds, while a few small silver streams continued to chase the beasts in front.

The beasts fleeing with Han Li and the others fell into chaos, but many of the more intelligent spirit beasts immediately realized that their chance to escape had arrived.

Immediately, under the wild roars of a few of the most powerful foreign beasts, all the beasts scattered, either turning into hurricanes or rolling away as demonic Qi, fleeing in all directions.

"Go!"

Han Li also gave a low shout without hesitation, and the sound of thunder rang out behind him as the Wind-Thunder Wings appeared.

With just one flap, he turned into a streak of cyan-white light and shot away.

At the same time they heard Han Li's words, Liu Shui'er and Shi Kun also accelerated their escape light without a word and rushed wildly in two other directions.

With the terrifying speed of Han Li's Wind-Thunder Wings, even among these thousands of foreign beasts, he was easily in the top three. After just a few flashes, he left the other beasts in the same direction far behind, and in the blink of an eye, he escaped to the end of the sky before pausing his light to look back.

The scene in his eyes made his heart turn cold.

He saw that the hundreds of foreign beasts behind that were not good at flying had been caught in the army of the two fierce insects because they were a bit slow.

As the green clouds and silver tide surged forward, these foreign beasts were swallowed without even a sound, disappearing into the sky without leaving even a shred of a corpse behind.

And just as the clusters of green clouds and silver tide were about to collide, the dense green butterflies suddenly paused in the void, then fanned their wings wildly at the opposite side.

Immediately, strands of strange green wind rolled out from the butterfly swarm, rushing aggressively into the silver tide.

"Squeak squeak" strange sounds rang out loudly.

Many winged flying insects, only a few inches in size but flashing with silver light, fell from the silver tide one after another.

Several clusters of green clouds rushed out, and with a roll, they swallowed all the falling silver insects, and after dispersing again, those fallen silver insects were gone.

Han Li's eyes flashed with blue light, seeing it clearly.

In the butterfly swarms that had swallowed the silver insects, many had spots of blood appearing on their bodies.

However, even though the poisonous wind emitted by the Blood-Transforming Butterflies was so powerful, there were simply too many silver flying insects, and many of the strong ones had a certain resistance to this poison.

As a result, after the poisonous wind passed, tens of thousands of silver insects still rushed into the butterfly swarm. At first, these Silver Tide Insects naturally went on a one-way trip, but as more and more silver insects rushed into the green clouds, the silver tide and green clouds finally collided completely.

Buzzing and squeaking sounds erupted simultaneously, and green butterflies and silver insects fell from the high sky like raindrops, only to be swallowed clean by the green clouds and silver tide surging from behind.

Clearly, the silver flying insects had a stronger swallowing ability than the green butterflies, but these fierce butterflies were all highly poisonous, and often a few wild flaps of their wings would make their opponents dizzy and lose their ability to resist.

But both were exceptionally ferocious, not caring about their own lives, and for a time, they were deadlocked.

As for the two kinds of fierce insects rushing toward the foreign beasts, once they saw the beasts fleeing in all directions, they also turned into countless small groups and scattered to chase them wildly.

These two kinds seemed to have a tacit understanding, never chasing the same prey.

Many foreign beasts couldn't escape far before being caught by the two insect swarms and had to fight desperately.

For a time, beast roars and insect chirps intertwined, and rumbling explosions were heard continuously.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and saw that Liu Shui'er and Shi Kun had also flown to a very far distance, but each was followed by a small stream of silver and a small cluster of green clouds.

However, he only had time to see this much. Because with a glance, he discovered that a stream of Silver Tide Insects was ignoring the other foreign beasts they had overtaken and was shooting straight in his direction.

This stream of silver insects numbered about a thousand.

Han Li took a deep breath, flapped his wings behind him again, and turned into a streak of light, shooting away again.

This time, Han Li flew for over half an hour in one breath before looking back again.

He saw that behind him, it was empty for a time, with no insect shadows to be seen.

But there was no joy on his face; instead, his brows furrowed slightly.

A few days ago, when he and Liu Shui'er were fleeing, it wasn't as if they hadn't used their maximum speed to shake off these fierce insects for a period of time, but these insects seemed to have some other strange divine abilities; as long as they slowed down their escape speed for a moment, they would definitely chase them down again like ghosts.

No matter what concealment secret techniques Shi Kun and the others used, they were all useless.

After Han Li's expression flickered for a while, he suddenly snorted coldly, and black light flashed on his body. A layer of black gauze appeared, and his figure vanished without a trace.

After concealing his figure, he floated forward slowly without haste.

But half an hour later, Han Li, who was flying slowly, suddenly sensed something, and his expression changed abruptly as he looked back.

A moment later, a buzzing sound came from the end of the sky.

A giant silver insect with a diameter of over ten feet suddenly appeared in the sky over there.

This giant insect just flapped its wings, emitting a sharp explosion, and with just one flash, it arrived a hundred feet away like a teleportation, shooting straight at Han Li's hiding place.

Han Li's expression changed, but he had already seen through the true form of this insect with his Clear Spirit Eyes.

It was actually a behemoth formed by the gathering of over a thousand silver flying insects.

Although he didn't know why even a divine treasure like the black gauze couldn't hide from these fierce insects and was tracked here, Han Li understood very well that if he didn't wipe out this small group of fierce insects, he wouldn't be able to leave safely.

However, the reason Silver Tide Insects were so terrifying, besides their hair-raising numbers, was that they were quite difficult to deal with individually.

Their bodies were not only exceptionally hard, capable of resisting the bombardment of ordinary treasures, but their pair of fangs that could bite through gold and iron, and their forelimbs that could easily tear through defensive treasures, were also terrifying, making people change color at the mention of them.

If one used ordinary treasures to deal with these silver fierce insects, it really wouldn't have much effect.

Thinking this, seeing that the giant insect was about to arrive, cold light flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he suddenly flicked his sleeve into the air.

Immediately, a similar buzzing sound rang out, and hundreds of golden flowers flew out from his sleeve. After circling once, they suddenly expanded in a flash of golden light, turning into giant beetles half a foot long.

They were shining with golden light; they were the mature Gold-Devouring Insects.

"Go!"

Han Li gave a low shout without thinking, his sleeve flicking rapidly toward the silver giant insect opposite him.

Immediately, hundreds of Gold-Devouring Insects let out a "buzz" and rushed toward the giant insect opposite.

The silver giant insect, which had been aggressive, trembled abruptly upon seeing these mature Gold-Devouring Insects. Then, it let out a shrill, sharp cry, turned around, and fled in a panic.

But since Han Li was willing to release so many Gold-Devouring Insects at once, he naturally intended to finish the battle quickly.

Almost at the same time, a thunderclap rang out behind him, and he vanished in a flash of cyan-white electric arcs.

The next moment, above the silver giant insect, cyan-white electric light flashed, and Han Li's figure appeared strangely. Without a word, he flipped his hand.

A black mountain grew from small to large and flew out, turning into a mountain peak over ten feet high that descended.

This treasure just spun around, and immediately a sheet of gray light rays rolled out from the bottom of the mountain peak, shrouding these silver flying insects underneath.

The giant insect, which had just moved its wings, trembled, and its figure became sluggish, trapped by the Magneto Divine Light for a moment.

A furious sharp cry rang out, and the giant insect's massive body suddenly flashed with silver light, shattering into pieces with a shake.

In just one breath, the giant insect reverted into over a thousand silver flying insects, which then swarmed in the same direction, swallowing the light rays blocking them in large gulps.

The surrounding Magneto Divine Light was actually thinning rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But Han Li, who was in the air, turned a blind eye to this, without a trace of worry on his face.

Because in this moment of obstruction, the hundreds of Gold-Devouring Insects had already shot over and arrived beneath the black mountain peak.
