Chapter 1413 The Great Fire Sea Technique
Long Ying, Mu Jiannan, An Lingyue, Li Shuying, and Bai Qing led their army northward and soon arrived at a vast grassland shrouded in purple mist.
"The purple mist here is noticeably denser."
As Long Ying spoke, she took out a golden compass.
The pointer on the dial vibrated violently, spun around several times, and then steadily pointed to a certain direction.
“The location is correct,” she said.
Since the Deep Blue system's map is now unusable, we can only use this red-quality magic compass to determine our location.
Mu Jiannan closed his eyes and concentrated, his divine sense spreading forward like a net.
However, her divine sense only managed to probe forward a few meters before encountering significant resistance, with a powerful sense of oppression enveloping her mental energy.
“The purple mist here is not only more disruptive, but also more toxic.” She slowly opened her eyes. “Moreover… I can sense the distinctive putrid stench of some ancient poisonous insects permeating the area. It seems my junior brother’s judgment was indeed accurate; those poisonous insects have indeed gathered here in large numbers.”
An Lingyue laughed from the side, "Second Senior Sister, when did your spiritual sense become so strong, you're a swordswoman who specializes in body training?"
Mu Jiannan smiled faintly: "After my junior brother helped me light up the constellation Ji, my divine sense became much stronger. Moreover, the power of Ji is inherently exceptionally sensitive to the aura of all things."
"Your Majesty!" A human general stepped forward, his voice tense, "The purple mist ahead is growing increasingly thick, and visibility is less than ten feet. Should we continue?"
Long Ying parted her red lips slightly, as if about to say something.
However, at that moment, everyone suddenly heard a strange sound.
"Rustling, rustling..."
A very faint sound suddenly seeped into my ears from all directions.
At first, it's like the wind blowing through grass; it's almost imperceptible unless you look closely.
But in an instant, the sound amplified and converged, transforming into a dense, chilling hiss!
"Squeak—squeak squeak—"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak—!!"
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak—!!!"
Li Shuying's expression changed drastically: "This is bad! What's going on here...?"
Bai Qing gripped the sword hilt tightly, her voice low: "It's a swarm of insects!"
The soldiers in the army also noticed the strange noise. In an instant, the sound of weapons being drawn rose one after another. Everyone looked around at the purple mist with vigilance.
Long Ying's gaze narrowed slightly.
She raised her right hand, palm up, and a crystal as red as pigeon's blood condensed from the void and floated up.
"Snapped!"
He clasped his hands together and chanted a mantra softly.
"Fifth-tier ability - Crystal Light Dispel!"
Just hear a "buzz" sound!
The suspended crystal suddenly burst forth with intense red light!
The light surged outwards like a tide, and wherever it passed, the purple mist melted and dissipated as if it were snow piled up under the blazing sun. In just a few breaths, the view within a radius of several hundred feet became clear.
An Lingyue exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty, I did not know you possessed such a skill."
"It can only temporarily dispel the purple mist." Before Long Ying could finish speaking, her gaze suddenly sharpened. "They're here!"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak—!"
The once tranquil grassland directly in front of us was suddenly engulfed by a black wave on the horizon!
It was a terrifying horde of insects, formed by countless swarming insect bodies, surging towards the army like a boiling sea of ink!
"It's an insect swarm!" the human general exclaimed.
"Form ranks—" Long Yingqing shouted, her voice echoing throughout the army, "Mage group, use Firestorm!"
"......yes!!"
The human legion responded and moved, their formations shifting with fluid grace.
The monks marched forward in neat rows, some with their hands forming mudras, others with their staffs raised high, their chanting blending into a deep and majestic harmony.
Human Mage: "Combined Soul Skill - Great Sea of Fire Technique!" x8308
In an instant, flames erupted from the palms, staff tips, and mouths of every mage!
The fiery flames of the superhuman, the fireballs of the mage, the fire talismans of the talisman master...
Eight thousand three hundred and eight streams of fire energy converged, merged, and expanded wildly in mid-air ahead, like rivers flowing into the sea!
“BOOM Boom Boom Boom!!!”
A fiery tsunami over a hundred feet high was born out of thin air! It was no ordinary fire, but a solidified crimson-gold raging wave, rolling with scorching air waves and dazzling light, crushing the insect swarm head-on with the force to destroy cities and mountains!
The swarm of insects collided violently with the wave of fire!
“Crackle!!!!”
The explosions were as dense as firecrackers on New Year's Eve, and the stench of burning insects instantly filled the air. Countless insect corpses curled up, carbonized, and disintegrated in the sea of fire, but the swarm of insects behind them continued to advance relentlessly, seemingly endless.
Long Ying's calm face was flushed crimson by the firelight, her eyes reflecting the raging flames.
Li Shuying's grip on the sword tightened slightly.
"Your Majesty, there are also some from other directions!"
Long Ying turned his head and saw that amidst the surging purple mist, writhing black outlines began to emerge from the left, right, and even behind them—they were completely surrounded!
Bai Qing suddenly lowered her head, her pupils shrinking sharply.
On the grass, the soil was being turned over by countless tiny insect legs, and densely packed microscopic poisonous insects, like black springs seeping from the ground, climbed up the boots and up the calves!
"There are insects underground too!"
"They'll pop out of the ground!"
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell throughout the army.
"Change formation." Long Ying's voice remained calm, clearly reaching everyone's ears, "Fire Tornado."
With Long Ying's command, the soldiers calmed down again, and the battle formation changed once more!
"Combined Attack Soul Skill - Flame Tornado Technique!" x8308
Thousands of mages chanted in unison, and the raging sea of fire that had been advancing suddenly rolled back, contracted, and reformed! The intense fire elements twisted and swirled in mid-air, condensing into four giant fire tornadoes that reached the sky and connected to the earth.
Each one was thousands of feet high and over a hundred feet in diameter, with crimson flames churning like a giant dragon twisting its body, and the temperature at its core was enough to melt iron and gold!
The tornado's base was close to the ground, instantly scorching the grass and cracking the soil. Poisonous insects hiding underground were uprooted and turned to ashes in the flames!
Four fire tornadoes swept out in four directions, engulfing the swarms of insects, the poisonous insects emerging from the ground, and even the vegetation of the entire grassland into a destructive vortex of fire!
Mu Jiannan surveyed the battlefield engulfed in flames, then looked at Long Ying.
Unexpectedly, after traveling among the myriad races for so long, the human army has become so powerful.
The army led by Long Ying was the Imperial Guard of Kyoto, an army exclusively for the Imperial Palace.
But the royal army she knew wasn't that strong...
Compared to the time when Long Hai was in power, their strength has increased by more than one level.
This young Empress Longying... truly possesses extraordinary abilities.
I'd heard rumors before that she had some kind of ambiguous relationship with her junior brother?
No wonder she's the woman my junior brother took a liking to...
"I never imagined that in less than ten years, the combat quality of the human army could improve so many times over." A detached female voice drifted over.
Long Ying narrowed her eyes.
In the distance, the mist slowly parted, and an elegant figure emerged gracefully.
She was a beautiful woman with seven-colored butterfly wings on her back. The wings were as thin as glass, and the patterns on them flowed with a dreamlike luster.
She was surrounded by a faint phosphorescent glow, her face exquisitely beautiful yet exuding an inhuman aloofness and coldness. With each gentle flutter of her butterfly wings, ripples of spiritual energy spread out, almost visible to the naked eye.
It is none other than the Zerg Empress, Dream Butterfly!
