Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 254 The Insect Attack

Just before Bu Liren's head hit the ground, he finally understood something.

It turns out that it wasn't a problem with his own plan, nor was it that the artifact given by Lord Mangus was ineffective.

Rather, the Cloud Cavalry Guard in front of us simply does not meet the requirements to transform into a demonic body!

He's only 14! How can we trigger his memories, make him unable to bear it, and ultimately transform him into a demonic being?

That artifact can speed up the transformation into the demonic form, but the prerequisite is that you can transform in the first place, right? How can you do it if you can't even transform?

He was extremely unwilling when his head hit the ground.

Damn it, we suffered because we lacked intelligence.

If there's a next time...

Before his fantasy could be completed, his consciousness gradually dissipated, turning him into a cold, lifeless corpse.

"Finally finished. I need to pick up General Tianji soon, so I have to hurry."

"But what exactly is the use of this thing? It doesn't look like an ordinary item."

Yanqing sheathed his sword and picked up the "Praise of Lofty Morality" to examine it carefully.

It seemed to be just an ordinary balance scale, nothing special, but its whole body was gleaming.

Yan Qing had no clue what to do. He looked up and saw Yun Li standing outside the alley.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Don't you know this is a restricted area? Get out of here right now," Yanqing immediately warned.

This place was sealed off as early as when the Star Core incident occurred, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter. Otherwise, the Bu Li people would not have been able to establish a base here.

“You must be Yanqing, right? I am Yunli. I was brought here by my grandfather, no, General Zhuyuan.” Yunli said.

"You are... one of General Zhuyuan's men?" Yanqing asked, somewhat surprised.

General Zhuyuan and his entourage had already checked into the Shence Mansion, so why are they here?

How did you end up here?

"The Yunqi Army just reported that Bu Li people have appeared here. You chased after them, and General Shence was worried, so he sent me to help you."

Yun Li made up an excuse.

She originally thought that the young man would be in trouble when he encountered the cunning Bu Liren, and she was even thinking of helping him out and showing off her skills in front of others. But she didn't expect that he would not only kill the man, but also kill the ambush.

"I see. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Yunli." Yanqing didn't seem to care much.

This is understandable, as his actions just now were indeed a bit impulsive, and the general was somewhat uneasy.

However, he also needed to prove to the general that he was capable of handling things on his own.

"Let's go. We'll notify the Cloud Cavalry to come and clean up the corpses. General Tianji will be here soon, and I need to get back quickly."

Yanqing wiped the blood off her face with a handkerchief and walked out of the alley.

“Oh, umm…” Yun Li looked at Yan Qing, momentarily lost in thought.

This young man is indeed quite skilled; if we were to spar...

Yun Li was simulating a battle in her mind when suddenly a dark object appeared on the wall, emitting a faint buzzing sound.

Yun Li instantly caught this detail. She immediately came to her senses; the dark movement was as big as a basketball.

Yan Qing was completely unaware that the dark thing was already lunging at his back.

"careful!"

Yun Li pulled Yan Qing with one hand and swung her greatsword with the other, using the sharp blade to cut the dark object in two, which then fell to the ground.

"What is this?" Yan Qing stared in shock at the thing on the ground that had been cut in two and was still trembling.

Could this also be a tactic used by Bu Liren to ambush someone?

"This thing looks like an insect." Yun Li slung her greatsword over her shoulder and stepped forward to examine it.

The basketball-sized creature was still moving around; it wasn't dead yet. You could see transparent wings, a hard shell, and a slender beak on its body.

It's obvious that this is an insect.

"Insects? How could there be such big insects on Luofu?" Yanqing immediately came over after hearing this.

After seeing that they were indeed insects, Yanqing was very puzzled.

That's impossible! He's been in Luofu for so many years and has never seen such a big bug.

"I've never seen such a big insect before, and its shell is very hard." Yun Li thought back carefully.

When she cut the insect, it wasn't as easy as she had imagined; in fact, it took a lot of effort.

After a short while, the insect stopped trembling and then died completely.

"I feel something is amiss. I think it's best to report this to the general from inside." Yanqing had already made up her mind.

Although he acted impulsively, he knew this was a serious matter and he had to report it to the general first.

"Okay, then let's..."

Before Yun Li could finish speaking, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out again nearby.

The sound was extremely irritating, like the flapping of wings, the rustling of tentacles, or even the rubbing of carapace.

Yun Li and Yan Qing immediately became alert, noticing that the manhole cover in the sewer was vibrating.

The next second, the manhole cover suddenly flew off, and countless insects crawled out of it, each as big as a basketball.

Their gazes all turned to Yun Li and Yan Qing, their eyes showing no wariness or fear, only the most primal desire to reproduce.

"Oh no, this is troublesome."

Yanqing immediately summoned six flying swords, which hovered around him.

Yun Li frowned slightly and raised the greatsword in her hand.

Even they wouldn't be able to handle such a large number of insects.

Before they could make a judgment, the insects had already swarmed out, attacking Yanqing and Yunli in dense swarms.

Seeing that things were not going well, Yanqing grabbed Yunli's hand and stepped onto the flying sword to ascend into the sky.

"I'll get you out of here first. You've already reported to the Shence Prefecture and asked the general to send people to rescue you."

"And you?" Yun Li looked up at Yan Qing above.

"Me? I'm a Cloud Cavalry Guard, of course I have to stop them."

After saying that, Yanqing was about to lead her away from the swarm of insects, but Yunli shook off his hand.

"Huh?"

"No need, I can fight too, don't underestimate me."

"If you want to report it, then go ahead. I'll stop them."

Yun Li gripped the greatsword with both hands, and her entire body emitted bursts of flames.
