Chapter 409

Western Area.

The originally silent lake

suddenly had ripples of water.

An undercurrent surged on the dark green lake surface,

as if some giant object was emerging from the depths.

As the water rippled, a massive object gradually revealed itself.

Lake water slid off its body like layers of water curtains.

The creature was huge; the ten-meter-tall trees on the lake shore were not even as high as its feet.

Standing in the center of the lake, it was like an island.

It had deep green skin all over and was wearing a tattered, old-fashioned suit.

Most shocking of all

was its mouth, which was so large it was almost unbelievable, its edges lined with sharp fangs that flashed with a cold light.

A dull, thick voice

rang out from its giant mouth:

"Is this the Lost Continent?"

"I wonder if those trash from the Titan race have eaten the human race clean."

"The human race is quite delicious."

"If they don't leave some for me,"

"I'll eat their so-called Titan Emperor!"

"Splash, splash, splash!"

The water surged as the giant creature walked toward the shore with a staggering gait.

The moment it stepped out of the lake,

the entire ground trembled slightly.

——Demigod race, River King, Tahm.

On the other side,

Southern Area.

In a dense forest,

a tree several meters tall suddenly appeared.

Compared to the giant trees around it that were dozens of meters tall, it looked particularly conspicuous.

The tree moved,

its trunk gradually dividing into two sections.

It walked a few steps with a strange gait,

its canopy tilted as it examined its surroundings with interest.

"Is this the Lost Continent?"

"I heard there are many insects here that like to consume tree trunks and make their homes in tree holes?"

"Ivern doesn't like it here; I don't like those insects."

After examining for a while,

Ivern inserted its two tree-trunk arms into the ground.

A flash of glowing green light flickered,

and the giant trees around it withered visibly to the naked eye.

Endless life energy poured into Ivern's body.

Ivern's main body also grew from its original few meters to dozens, then hundreds of meters,

turning into a towering giant tree!

Ivern is a marauder.

When it chopped down that mysterious Emperor Willow in the abyss,

the Emperor Willow's energy poured into its body,

turning it into a life form that seemed deeply affectionate toward nature.

In reality, it is still a marauder.

——Demigod race, Green Father, Ivern.

Just at this moment,

a 'rustling' sound came from ahead,

and the ground trembled faintly.

"Those insects that Ivern hates are here."

"And human professionals?"

"Ho, ho, ho!" Ivern let out a strange laugh. "Unwelcome guests!"

Soon,

a heroic young girl wearing silver armor,

holding a thin sword, with long flowing hair and a beautiful face,

appeared before Ivern

riding a giant insect.

Behind her

was a sky-filling insect army—

S-rank insect swarm, Tiger-Flame Insects!

The Tiger-Flame insect swarm kicked up a large amount of dust as it marched,

making the entire area murky and foul,

along with that nauseating, sour insect stench.

Even after cultivating this S-rank insect swarm for half a month,

the Kimchi Kingdom's professionals still couldn't adapt to this smell.

A young man in robes pinched his nose and had the insect he was riding run to the girl's side.

Facing the Valkyrie,

the adoration in the young man's eyes was undisguised.

"Miss Miss Jingxi, I told you long ago,"

"a mere Demigod race doesn't even need you to come over."

"We have been cultivating this S-rank Tiger-Flame insect swarm for half a month."

"During this time, I don't know how many A-rank insect swarms they've eaten."

"Dealing with one Demigod shouldn't be a piece of cake?"

Seeing the Valkyrie not speaking and just looking ahead,

the young man thought she was pondering his words,

so he continued:

"We all know how powerful the S-rank insect swarm is."

"Moreover, the Heavenly Dao told us to capture insect swarms to deal with the Demigod race; S-rank is the highest level, so it will definitely be no problem dealing with one Demigod!"

"Someone like Miss Miss Jingxi shouldn't come to a place like this; why don't you return to the stronghold first?"

"Shut up!"

Li Miss Jingxi said coldly and impatiently,

looking with a grave expression at the towering giant tree that had appeared abruptly ahead.

Since when was there such a tall tree here?

The Demigod race descended,

and the Heavenly Dao announced the point rankings.

Although the Kimchi Kingdom was third,

they were more than ten times behind the second-place Dragon Kingdom!

Killing Demigods can obtain a large amount of points.

Therefore,

the moment the Demigod race descended,

she brought all the Kimchi Kingdom's professionals and all the S-rank insect swarm forces to the south.

When developing the insect swarm,

she had been here more than once.

It was originally a lush and green area,

but now the vegetation and trees had all withered,

and in the very center,

a giant tree over a hundred meters tall had actually grown.

The work of the Demigod race?

Li Miss Jingxi slowly drew her thin sword.

The Valkyrie's title is 'Flash Sword';

together with Zhang Zhang Yucheng, she is known as one of the 'Two Sword Masters' of the Kimchi Kingdom!

As for whether Zhang Zhang Yucheng is a Dragon Kingdom person or a Kimchi Kingdom person,

does that even need to be considered?

Of course he is a Kimchi Kingdom person!

With the title Flash Sword, the Valkyrie's speed and lethality are both considered top-notch!

Being this close makes it easy to be accidentally injured!

The young man hurriedly had his insect retreat to the rear.

"Did Miss Miss Jingxi discover something?"

Li Miss Jingxi ignored him,

leaped up from the back of the giant insect,

and charged toward the giant tree.

"Whether it is or isn't,"

"a try will tell!"

"Swish!"

A golden light flashed, and the Valkyrie had already appeared beneath the giant tree.

"Ho, ho, ho!"

"What an impatient human."

Li Miss Jingxi froze in place.

The giant tree opened its eyes,

as if playing with her,

looking at her mockingly.

A tremendously powerful aura

swept out in an instant.

Li Miss Jingxi felt as if she were facing some prehistoric beast!

Demigod race?

Years of accumulated combat instinct

made Li Miss Jingxi not hesitate at all;

she tapped her feet lightly on the ground and retreated violently toward the rear.

Ivern didn't pursue.

The fun had only just begun;

there was no need to snuff out the toy so quickly.

Returning to the back of the giant insect,

Li Miss Jingxi gasped for air.

Just from that fleeting glimpse of aura perception,

she knew that the Demigod race creature before her was simply not an opponent she should be dealing with!

"Miss Miss Jingxi?"

The young man from just now hurriedly jumped to Li Miss Jingxi's side,

and was about to reach out to help her,

but was dodged by Li Miss Jingxi.

Li Miss Jingxi swept a cold glance at him,

and the young man retreated sheepishly.

Li Miss Jingxi didn't explain to him.

A poor wretch whose 'momentum' cultivation is not up to par,

and who can't even perceive the strength of the enemy—

such a person is best suited to be the vanguard!

Li Miss Jingxi tossed a pale yellow amber to the young man

and said indifferently:

"That giant tree is the Demigod race."

"Park Tae-jun, I am now handing over control of the insect swarm to you."

"You go deal with this Demigod."

Park Tae-jun caught the amber, his eyes flashing with wild joy.

This is a Demigod!

As long as he can kill it, that is endless honor.

Miss Miss Jingxi actually handed this honor to him personally—

could it be

that she actually admires me?

My God!
