Chapter 577: Life of Nine Deaths

Lin Zhangqing listened to this arrangement and couldn't help but glance at Song Junxue, knowing that she must have had some guesses about his strength! No, Song Junxue must have already confirmed his strength through some clues; otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen the most difficult target for him! One had to know that the farthest and the nearest were separated by a distance of one or two hundred zhang; if one's strength was insufficient, even one more zhang would be a heavenly chasm! Let alone one or two hundred zhang!

Song Junxue should have almost known his strength, which was why she had such an arrangement! But now that everyone had shared adversity, they had a bit of friendship, and Lin Zhangqing also wanted them to have a sliver of survival! So, he didn't want to be too calculating and didn't refuse, which was considered tacitly agreeing to Song Junxue's arrangement! Although the remaining four people didn't understand why Song Junxue would arrange for Lin Zhangqing, who had the lowest cultivation, to complete the most difficult target.

But seeing that he didn't voice any opposition, they didn't consider so much, and by now.

The remaining cultivators had no mood to care about others, and soon they assigned the other four Wood Tooth Crystals one by one! Song Junxue also directly said to Lin Zhangqing: "The one farthest to the left belongs to you, and the one on the right belongs to me!"

Lin Zhangqing glanced at her and nodded, which was considered agreeing!

After all six people had clarified their targets and completed their preparations in the shortest time.

Song Junxue gave the signal, and all six people rushed out together.

He didn't know the means of others, but the moment Lin Zhangqing rushed out, he activated several defensive spiritual artifacts again.

He controlled a premium flying sword under his feet, and also brought out the Wind-Thunder Wings he had just obtained! Then he directly used the Wind-Thunder Escape! With a low thunderous sound of "Boom!", he was wrapped in a layer of thunder light, along with his sword, and rushed toward the leftmost Wood Tooth Crystal!

The distance of more than three hundred zhang was covered in an instant, but this process wasn't simple! More than three thousand Second-Tier army ants were mobilized by the ant queen to block the path between them and the giant spirit plant! One could imagine how dense it was; the number of Second-Tier army ants that bumped into him just over these few hundred zhang was at least forty or fifty.

Fortunately, he had enough defensive spiritual artifacts, and the Second-Tier army ants' innate spell, Shadow Arrow, happened to be restrained by the thunder-attribute shield! So his situation was still okay, and he rushed through smoothly, but a large pile of Second-Tier army ants followed behind!

However, others weren't so lucky; Lin Zhangqing had heard screams one after another just now!

After he picked the Wood Tooth Crystal he was responsible for with a jade box, he took advantage of the busy time to take a look, only to find that the scene had already undergone huge changes.

In just this short while, except for him, only Song Junxue and another Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator remained.

The remaining three, including Ye Chuji, had already disappeared! Needless to say, their only outcome was falling to the ground and being gnawed clean by the First-Tier army ants below! And now the situation was very unfavorable; besides Song Junxue approaching her target, the other cultivator with Great Perfection cultivation was also struggling to support himself!

However, Lin Zhangqing didn't think highly of him, because the defensive light shield on his body was already crumbling! He didn't see him activate any new defensive spiritual artifacts, so he shouldn't be able to hold on for much longer!

But now Lin Zhangqing couldn't help him; time was precious, so he directly rushed toward the Wood Tooth Crystal closest to him!

By the time the second Wood Tooth Crystal was in hand, he happened to hear a scream! Lin Zhangqing knew that person was definitely finished! However, he took a glance and found that the target that person was responsible for had also disappeared! It looked like it had been picked by him!

However, now that the person had fallen, it was a pity for a precious Fourth-Tier treasure!

Lin Zhangqing had also searched through the spirit plant master inheritance in his hands during his spare time the past two days.

He hadn't found any records about it, or anything else similar! But Lin Zhangqing had just collected two, and he already had a rough guess about the function of the Wood Tooth Crystal!

Because this thing contained pure wood-attribute spiritual power, and the life aura was truly too vigorous! He was very familiar with this aura; he had sensed it on that Third-Tier Dragon Blood Fruit at the recent auction!

So he initially inferred that for wood-attribute cultivators, this thing should be able to play an auxiliary role in breaking through levels!

But the most important function should still be increasing lifespan, and the increased lifespan was estimated to be quite a lot! Otherwise, Ouyang Zhongjing wouldn't have spent so much effort, excluding so many difficulties and obstacles, to get his hands on the Wood Tooth Crystal! On the other side, Song Junxue had finally collected her target, but her situation didn't look good either!

Now there were only two Wood Tooth Crystals left on the giant spirit plant, but the ant queen must have deeply realized the crisis, so it went completely crazy! It desperately drove the Second-Tier army ants to charge at the two of them! In fact, at this moment, Lin Zhangqing really hoped that the Second-Tier Shock-Spirit Cicadas could play a role.

Unfortunately, when facing this kind of large-scale group creature, especially this kind of creature controlled by a leader, they had a certain ability.

That was, they could unite the massive number of weak spiritual senses within the group, controlled uniformly by the ant queen, to resist spiritual attacks.

After all, for an ant queen to control all the army ants, one could imagine how powerful its own spiritual power was.

Coupled with it uniting the power of its own group, spiritual attacks definitely wouldn't have much effect on them.

Moreover, he only had a total of one hundred-plus Shock-Spirit Cicadas in his hand, which simply couldn't beat the army ants with such an exaggerated number.

So he had always kept the Shock-Spirit Cicadas from being released! However, at this moment, both of them knew that this was the most critical moment, and success or failure depended on this one move! So they were very conscious, each responsible for one target; at this time, attacking the army ants had no meaning at all! So both of them were hard-headed against the attacks of the Second-Tier army ants, continuously activating new defensive spiritual artifacts, just to get all the Wood Tooth Crystals down! Anyway, from rushing out until now, Lin Zhangqing had already damaged five Upper-Grade defensive spiritual artifacts! This was still the result of him intermittently activating the thunder shield; otherwise, the consumption would definitely be even greater!

But no matter how difficult it was, Lin Zhangqing finally made it through and successfully picked the third Wood Tooth Crystal into the jade box!
