Chapter 969

A dark current surged on the dark green lake surface,

as if some giant object was emerging from the depths.

As the water rippled, a behemoth gradually revealed itself.

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

The creature was huge; the dozen-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.

Its whole body had dark green skin, and it was wearing a tattered, old-fashioned suit.

Most shocking of all

was its mouth, which was almost unimaginably large, its edges filled with sharp fangs flashing with cold light.

A dull, thick voice sounded from its giant mouth:

"Is this the Lost Continent?"

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

"The human race is quite delicious."

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

"I will eat their so-called Titan Emperor!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The water surged, and the giant creature took shambling steps, walking to the shore step by step.

The moment it stepped out of the lake,

the entire ground was shaking slightly.

——Demigod race, River King, Tahm.

On the other side,

southern region.

In a dense forest,

a tree several meters high suddenly appeared.

In front of the surrounding giant trees that were dozens of meters high, it looked particularly conspicuous.

The tree moved a bit,

its trunk gradually splitting into two sections.

It walked a few steps with a strange gait,

its crown tilted, looking around with interest.

"This is the Lost Continent?"

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

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

After looking around for a while,

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

A flash of glowing green light flickered,

and the surrounding giant trees visibly withered.

Endless life energy surged into Ivern's body.

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

turning into a towering giant tree!

Ivern was a marauder.

When it chopped down that mysterious Imperial Willow in the Abyss,

the Imperial Willow's energy surged into its body,

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

In reality, it was still a marauder.

——Demigod race, Green Father, Ivern.

Just then,

a 'rustling' sound came from ahead,

and the ground shook faintly.

"Those insects that Ivern hates are here."

"And human practitioners?"

"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-tier insect swarm, Tiger-Flame Insects!

The Tiger-Flame insect swarm kicked up large clouds of dust as they marched,

the entire area becoming foul with smoke and grime,

along with that nauseating, sour stench of the insect race.

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

the Kimchi Nation's practitioners still couldn't adapt to this smell.

A young man wearing robes held 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 Jingxi, I said it long ago."

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

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

"We don't know how many A-tier insect swarms they've eaten during this time."

"Dealing with one Demigod race should be easy, right?"

Seeing the Valkyrie not speaking and just looking ahead,

the young man thought she was pondering what he said,

so he continued:

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

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

"How can someone like Miss Jingxi come to a place like this? Why don't you return to the stronghold first?"

"Shut up!"

Li Jingxi said coldly and impatiently,

looking with a grave expression at the towering 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 Nation was third,

it was more than ten times behind the second-place Dragon Nation!

Killing the Demigod race could earn a large number of points.

Therefore,

the moment the Demigod race descended,

she brought all the Kimchi Nation's practitioners and all the S-tier insect swarm forces to the south.
