Chapter 430: Striking from Afar
These monsters, just as the Twin-Ghost described, fused various characteristics of insects, animals, and humans; the mere sight of them made one's scalp tingle.
The incessant "buzzing" sound was the noise of their insect-like wings flapping in flight, while their mouths continuously emitted sharp, piercing "squeaking" sounds.
This cry sounded somewhat like the desperate scream of a living creature, and yet also like some unique method of communication; in any case, for ordinary people and even low-level ghosts, this scream was clearly lethal.
When these monsters discovered prey, they would erupt with an exceptionally sharp cry, subsequently drawing a large swarm of monsters to surge over and devour the target completely with absolute numbers and terrifying hunting methods.
Once the monsters were full, egg-shaped vesicles would appear on their bodies the very next moment; it would take less than half an incense stick of time for these vesicles to burst open, with one monster after another crawling out from within.
Subsequently, the desires of hunger, greed, and bloodthirst would drive them to seek more prey, constantly devouring, constantly multiplying and expanding, repeating the cycle until it finally formed this Blasphemous Calamity that made one feel despair just by looking at it!
At this moment, in front of this group of monsters, there were several seemingly powerful Divine Beings flying at high speed; in reality, their speed was far faster than those monsters, yet these fellows would stop from time to time to wait for a while.
Besides these people, the situation was the same in several other directions; not only were they acting as bait in the front, but they would even throw out some ghosts or Ghost Slaves as fodder for those monsters to devour.
The final destination of all the Divine Beings was undoubtedly the territory where Lin Feng was located, and these Divine Beings either belonged to the Five Old Mountains, were under the command of the Heavenly Matriarch, or were some factions that had joined later.
"Eat! Eat! Eat!"
To deal with these fellows, Lin Feng did not hesitate to let the Tanshi Gui begin its work; as the Tanshi Gui opened its mouth, a terrifying curse erupted instantly, and following the reinforcement of the Ten Thousand Curse Array, these curses descended immediately upon the Divine Beings who were guiding the monsters.
They had no realization at all that a terrifying curse had descended; some Divine Beings were still flying rapidly through the air, but the next moment, their bodies were as if bitten by invisible giant mouths, and their flesh and blood vanished just like that amidst their terrified, desperate screams.
It was not that they had not tried to resist or flee, but no matter what power they erupted with, it was to no avail; the lethal curse made them watch with their own eyes as their bodies were rapidly devoured bite by bite while they were extremely conscious.
Until finally, their heads were also completely devoured by the invisible curse; the entire process would absolutely not exceed a moment's time.
Moreover, the efficiency of the Tanshi Gui's actions was dozens of times stronger than the Calamity-Descending Evil Ghost; almost at the same time, all the Divine Beings responsible for guiding the monsters suffered the lethal curse.
Some had all their will wiped out by the curse in an instant, turning into unconscious bodies that were then swallowed by a giant opening in the sky; some had black ink marks emerge on their bodies, covering them until they finally turned completely into an avatar of the Tanshi Gui; others plunged headfirst into the giant mouth of an evil ghost and never came out again.
A moment later, the offerings Lin Feng had placed on the Ten Thousand Curse Array were consumed entirely, and the entire array stopped operating; however, correspondingly, a ghost head appeared beside the Tanshi Gui, spitting out quite a bit of Divine Being flesh and limb remains.
"Continue, find the mastermind behind this, and let them have a taste of how powerful we are!"
Seeing this Divine Being flesh and blood, Lin Feng did not hesitate to give the order again; merely wiping out some Divine Beings had no effect at all.
Very quickly, a large amount of offerings was placed on the altar again, and then the Ten Thousand Curse Array restarted; the Tanshi Gui also began to carefully search for the traces of that True Monarch of the Five Old Mountains or the Heavenly Matriarch.
This process clearly lasted longer, but it did not take too long before the offerings on the altar were suddenly consumed in an instant; subsequently, an extremely painful wail resounded throughout the Yinjian from the sky a thousand miles away.
This time, the Tanshi Gui successfully found the hidden Five Old Mountains and then erupted with its strongest curse attack, instantly causing the unprepared True Monarch Divine Being to suffer heavy injuries.
It was a pity that in just a single instant, the offerings on the altar were consumed; otherwise, in a situation of catching them off guard, it might have been possible to wipe the opponent out completely.
"Let's go, what comes next is the real trouble!"
Seeing the remaining Divine Being limbs and flesh in his hand, Lin Feng ultimately did not continue to attempt a third time; one or two strikes now must have already made them alert, and the effect of a third time would inevitably be greatly diminished.
Since that was the case, rather than wasting this Divine Being flesh and blood, it was better to keep it for other uses; moreover, the Tanshi Gui's use of the Ten Thousand Curse Array this time had clearly already broken even.
"Master, the manpower and supplies from the mines have basically all been withdrawn!"
At this time, the Tou Gui came before Lin Feng to speak to him about this matter, and then showed him the layout of the new Web.
"I have deployed shadows in the sky, on the ground, and underground; no matter where they fly from, they will suffer."
Speaking of this, the Tou Gui was quite confident; due to the special nature of the shadows, they could not only be distributed on the ground, but in the sky, underground, and in any corner.
"Well done; once those things enter this web, I will have another person come to assist you in dealing with these monsters."
Lin Feng nodded slightly, then his gaze looked toward the direction of the drill ground; not long after, a giant Ghost Gate slowly appeared on the drill ground, and as the Ghost Gate opened, a seven or eight-year-old girl walked in, looking around.
"Not bad, though it's far worse compared to Father's palace back in the day."
"Hmm, this is that array? I didn't expect these juniors to not be stupid, being able to think of this kind of method."
Clearly having the appearance of a young girl, yet the words that came out were unusually old-fashioned.
After the Girl of Year-Guarding entered the Yinjian military camp, her appearance of looking left and right was clearly like a curious child; it was a pity that this fellow seemed to be trying to maintain her persona, insisting on pretending to be indifferent or commenting in a high-and-mighty manner.
"Did the ancient era also have this kind of array?"
The Ghost Iron Statue then walked up to her and asked her casually.
"That is natural; certain forbidden lands are just like this, and suppression arrays are not considered rare."
Hearing the Ghost Iron Statue's words, the Girl of Year-Guarding remained the same, though there were indeed many things from the ancient era that Lin Feng did not know.
"Hmm, this is my territory in the Yinjian; the Blasphemous Calamity will arrive next, and at that time, I will arrange for manpower to dismember them; you only need to be able to burn them completely into ashes."
Lin Feng did not want to get to the bottom of it; after nodding, he began to explain the basic situation now to her.
"Rest assured, with me here, I guarantee those bugs won't be able to stir up any waves; however, don't blame me for not warning you, the real threat is not just those bugs!"
Speaking to this point, the Girl of Year-Guarding's eyes could not help but look outside the military camp; sometimes, the threats that can be seen cannot be counted as danger; what is terrifying is always the things that cannot be seen.
