Chapter 277: Chapter 251: Sub-Insect Human Ou Qiang
Zhao Yaqian immediately took action. Three Apostles attacked right away, especially the Shadow Devouring Demon with its eerie attacks targeting the vital spots of the Holy Helmet Beetle.
Although the Holy Helmet Beetle had been surrounded, it still emitted sharp, hissing screeches and continuously swung its tibial scythes, slashing out red blades to repel the Shadow Devouring Demon.
But the next moment, Blood Bone Ghoul and Shadow Armor Tyrant had already charged up, bombarding them.
Duan Jie arrived soon after, the Bone Claw Ox Demon and Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon also immediately launched their attacks.
Their sole purpose was to kill the Holy Helmet Beetle as quickly as possible.
However, the Holy Helmet Beetle was a creature like a battle machine, with a tough shell. They immediately assumed a defensive stance, using their hardest carapace to block the attacks of the Bone Claw Ox Demon, clanging loudly, but managed to stabilize their form.
Zhao Yaqian frowned, as the shadowy tentacles of the Shadow Devouring Demon continuously spread, attempting to bind the two Holy Helmet Beetles.
However, just then, heavy footsteps came, and the Giant Rock Ghoul with the monster Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon suddenly charged out of the fog, lunging at Duan Jie.
Not good!
Duan’s Jie’s expression changed, and he immediately controlled the Bone Claw Ox Demon and Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon to meet the attack. Four huge creatures collided, fists and claws swinging, banging loudly, as he could not get free for a moment.
Zhao Yaqian could only handle the Holy Helmet Beetle herself, binding one with shadowy tentacles and deploying three claws straight toward its head, aiming to secure a victory in one go.
The remaining Holy Helmet Beetle tried to come to the rescue, but the Blood Bone Ghoul and Shadow Armor Tyrant blocked its path and intertwined with it.
Zhao Yaqian gained the upper hand, as the Psychokinetic Blade formed, and together with the claws, she was about to finish off the immobilized Holy Helmet Beetle.
However, just then, a black shadow moved swiftly among the group of monsters, having already neared the center of the battle.
His black robe fell, showing an Insect Human appearance, blood-red eyes glowing with a cold light, and he suddenly sprang forward, shooting a green light column from his mouth device, aimed directly at Zhao Yaqian.
Zhao Yaqian was greatly alarmed, rapidly flinging her Psychokinetic Blade in return, colliding with the attack.
Light flared up, and the Psychokinetic Blade directly shattered. She took the chance to duck, and the attack missed her.
“Not a bad reaction,”
a cold voice came from Ou Qiang, Zhao Yaqian’s face had already turned ashen.
Only then did she sense that there were third-order monsters coming from the depths of the fog, another three Holy Helmet Beetles along with many Sub-Insect Humans, one similar to Ou Qiang, was also a Third Order.
The situation reversed instantly, with Duan Jie and Zhao Yaqian having five Third Order Apostles no doubt, along with the two of them making it seven Third Order fighters.
But the Sub-Insect Human side had already encircled them, with five Holy Helmet Beetles, two Third Order Monsters, and two Third Order Sub-Insect Humans, surrounded by countless monsters.
“Kill!”
Both acted simultaneously; to ensure success, Zhao Yaqian released almost all her telekinesis, attempting to immobilize the Sub-Insect Human, Ou Qiang.
Her gifted telekinesis abilities, though not as formidable as Bai Qilan’s and inclined more toward abilities like psychic blades, were not to be underestimated when fully activated.
The Shadow Devouring Demons, Shadow Armor Tyrants, and Bone Claw Ox Demons collectively struck at Ou Qiang, while the Blood Bone Ghoul and Duan Jie’s Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon advanced on the other Third Order Monsters, desperately blocking them.
“Hehehe”
Ou Qiang suddenly revealed a fierce smile, his segmented legs fiercely leaping nearly thirty feet from the spot; all attacks missed, even the preemptively launched psychokinetic power was nullified by a strong psychic force.
Zhao Yaqian’s face turned pale as Ou Qiang’s cold laughter rang out: “Did you think you were the only one with psychokinetic power?”
Ou Qiang also possessed psychokinetic power, a method transformed by the Mother Worm, acting as a relay station.
Without this ability, he would be unable to maneuver other Zerg monsters or affect other species’ monsters.
Though it was not his innate ability and more like a signal relay station, nullifying an attack once was enough.
“Boom!”
A missed attempt led the rear-guard Blood Bone Ghoul and Double-headed Gray Inferior Demon to sustain severe injuries from being surrounded; their bones fractured and their bodies covered with wounds cleaved by tibial sickles.
Although not dead, they were completely incapacitated.
As one fell and the other rose, Ou Qiang’s gaze grew sharp, and a shrieking sound again emerged from his throat; all Third Order Monsters surged around, encircling Zhao Yaqian and Duan Jie.
Now that their resources were depleted and their numbers reduced, it was time to take action.
“I’ll cover the rear; you run back.”
Duan Jie’s voice came, heavy with resolve, his body enveloped in purple energy as he fully entered the state of Spiritual Beast Transformation, ready for battle.
He was a warrior, unfit to lead the South City camp, his Talent useful only in battle, unlike Zhao Yaqian who was of greater use to the camp.
“Seek help from the people of Tree Domain and move quickly.”
As his words fell, he leapt off the Bone Claw Ox Demon and charged toward a Holy Helmet Beetle; the Angel Envoy followed closely, resolutely covering the retreat.
Zhao Yaqian felt a sinking sensation in her heart, but she couldn’t hesitate; she immediately turned and rushed toward the direction encircled by the Double-headed Gray Inferior Demons and the Giant Rock Ghouls, determined to break through there.
However, just then, her expression suddenly changed, displaying surprise, and she abruptly looked up, catching sight of a shadow sweeping across the sky.
Su Han had arrived.
