Early in the morning, Luo Zheng was awakened by the sound of fierce war drums.
When I opened the door and took a look, I was immediately infected by the atmosphere in front of me.
The Imperial Army, a small group of one hundred people, was leaving the city in batches amidst the drums of war.
Lu Xiao then found Luo Zheng, organized the team, and received the task to go out of the city to hunt the knife insects.
The hundreds of miles in front of Dragon Castle is the main battlefield where humans and knife insects fight.
Along the way, you can see knife insect corpses everywhere, thrown on both sides of the road, piled up as high as a hill.
Luo Zheng noticed that around the mountain of corpses of the knife insects, there were still many people looking down for something, and they would poke the corpses of the knife insects from time to time.
Those people turned out to be mortals who had not refined their bodies.
When these powerless mortals appear in such a dangerous place, just an ordinary knife insect can kill them.
Seeing this scene, Luo Zheng wondered: "Those civilians have no ability and risked their lives to walk out of the Dragon Castle and wander outside. Aren't they afraid of death?"
When Lu Xiao heard Luo Zheng's question, he immediately laughed and said: "Death? Of course they are afraid of death. These guys are killed a lot by knife bugs every year. In the past two days, a few fish that slipped through the net rushed over and killed ten of them."
Many civilians.”
"But risking their lives to leave the city, what are they doing for?" Luo Zheng asked in confusion.
After Lu Xiao heard this, he smiled and said: "This matter was caused by your Qingyun Sect."
Seeing Luo Zheng's confusion, Mengchang Jun explained: "Our Qingyun Sect counts the number of knife insects hunted based on the crystal core in the knife insect's chest. The crystal nuclei in the corpses of these knife insects in front of us have already been
They are poached by others, but there are always fish that slip through the net. These people just come out to try their luck, hoping to find a crystal core. There are many people in Dragon Castle who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it."
At this point, Luo Zheng suddenly realized.
The crystal cores of twenty knife insects can be exchanged for one Qingyun Sect point, and one point is equal to two cubic crystal stones.
Although it is impossible for these civilians to exchange for cubic crystal stones, they can exchange for real gold and silver that are like dung to warriors, which is enough for them to live a comfortable and prosperous life. No wonder they are willing to risk their lives to
Go out of Dragon Castle and look for those fish that have slipped through the net.
In the dense tropical rain forest, there is silence at the moment.
Every year after the insect tide begins, all other monsters either flee or dive underground. Just like humans, it is difficult for those monsters to resist the insect tide army.
There was no sound around except the sound of the swaying trees.
Luo Zheng and others are becoming more and more cautious at this moment.
The knife bug is emerald green in color and is good at camouflage and surprise attacks, often inflicting fatal blows to humans inadvertently.
At the moment when a bush was pushed aside, two blades swung rapidly towards Luo Zheng's neck.
Luo Zheng sneered, and the purple energy all over his body suddenly burst out, and he pinched the edge of one of the blades with his hand.
With a "click", it was broken by Luo Zheng, and at the same time, his other fist smashed the knife insect's head into pieces.
The sudden appearance of a knife bug immediately raised everyone's vigilance to the highest level. Seeing Luo Zheng solve it so neatly, they did not breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, they all remembered the proverb: When you find a knife bug
At that time, there were actually at least two thousand knife bugs behind it.
"Push!"
The woods ahead seemed to come alive, and countless knife insects seemed to appear out of thin air and surrounded everyone.
"kill!"
At this time, Luo Zheng only had this thought in his mind.
In Luo Zheng's eyes, these knife insects are points and tickets to Purgatory Mountain.
After entering the marrow refining realm, Luo Zheng's control of the true energy in the body has risen to another level. Although he cannot release the true energy like the half-step innate, or possess the true essence like the innate secret realm. But in the marrow refining realm,
The control of Qi has reached a very mature state.
Streams of purple energy overflowed from Luo Zheng's body like silk threads, and then turned into surging punches, hitting the sword insect's head hard.
"Die!"
Two knife bugs flew over from the left and right sides, their sharp blades pointed directly at Luo Zheng's body.
Luo Zheng did not dodge or evade, and punched out both fists at the same time, using the power of the Red Sandalwood Fist to its fullest.
"Puff!"
Two muffled sounds came over, and the abdomens of the two knife insects were directly blasted to pieces by Luo Zheng, and the monster crystal cores hidden in their chests rolled down directly.
After killing the two knife bugs, he had no time to pick up the crystal core on the ground. Thinking of the "whirring" wind behind him, Luo Zheng almost subconsciously lowered his head to avoid the knife bug's attack, but turned around and punched the knife bug's abdomen.
go.
"Red sandalwood is strong!"
The abdomen of knife insects is their hardest part, and Luo Zheng has suffered losses before.
However, "Red Sandalwood Cun Jin" has the effect of hitting a cow from across the mountain. The power of this punch directly penetrates the thick carapace on the abdomen of the knife insect and penetrates deep into the interior to cause damage.
"Puff puff puff puff..."
With seven muffled sounds, the abdomen of the knife insect was exploded by Luo Zheng's surging fist power, all life was wiped out, and Shuai fell to the ground.
The knife bugs rushed over one after another, Luo Zheng was not afraid at all, and fought steadily.
Every time he punched, a knife bug would fall in front of him. After a while, the corpses of those knife bugs were piled up like a hill.
While fighting, Luo Zheng noticed that others were also fighting desperately.
At this moment, Lord Mengchang was holding a sword and walking like a leisurely stroll in the courtyard. Whenever a sword insect approached, he stretched out his long sword and a black-red sword light shot out, immediately piercing the sword insect.
He is worthy of being a master of the innate secret realm. The sword light condensed with true essence is so sharp!
Yang Tai and Zhao Xuyong are also extremely ferocious. These two people have extremely rich practical experience. This is not the first time they have participated in the mission of hunting knife insects. They are very familiar with the habits and weaknesses of knife insects. Every attack is the weakness of knife insects.
.
Under the command of Lu Xiao, the Qinglan team formed a formation to respond to the attack of the knife insects.
"Shield!"
"bayonet!"
"Bow shoot!"
Although the strength of the nobles in Qinglan's team was far inferior to that of the four members of the Qingyun Sect, they were not afraid of the attack of the knife insects under Lu Xiao's command.
"Crack!"
Another knife insect had its forelimbs twisted off by Luo Zheng's powerful strength. Then Luo Zheng's hand pressed hard on the head of the knife insect, and the fragile insect head was instantly exploded.
After killing this knife insect, there were no other living knife insects around Luo Zheng.
Mengchangjun and others, as well as Lu Xiao, there were only a few scattered knife insects, and they were quickly eliminated by them.
Looking at the knife bugs piled up like a hill in front of him, Luo Zheng made a rough estimate. There were about sixty knife bugs. In this way, he could obtain more than sixty monster crystal cores, which was only three points.
.
The Qingyun Sect's points are too difficult to earn. After working hard for so long, he can only exchange for three points. Luo Zheng could only peel off the demonic beast's crystal core while smiling bitterly.
After all, one hundred points would require him to kill 20,000 knife bugs!
There are only 20,000 knife insects. With his own ability, he can complete this task in only half a month and collect 100 points!
It takes half a month of hard work to be able to see his sister. The price is not high! What's more, Luo Zhengcai can experience in battle and increase his strength!
Thinking of this, Luo Zheng worked harder to take out the monster crystal cores one by one from the body of the knife insect.
After killing the first wave of knife bugs, everyone continued to advance along the outer edge of the jungle.
Along the way, Luo Zheng was very active in hunting knife insects, and the number of monster crystal nuclei also increased one by one.
"Another knife bug is coming!"
After these waves of hunting, Luo Zheng also quickly became familiar with the habits and sounds of the knife insects, but Luo Zheng was able to tell them apart based on the sound of the wind blowing from the front.
I saw a sway in the jungle not far away, and a large wave of knife insects rushed towards me.
But this wave of knife bugs is different.
Among the waves of knife insects, there were actually dozens of purple knife insects.
"Leader of the Knife Insects!"
Seeing the knife insect leaders, Luo Zheng's eyes flashed slightly.
The knife insect leader is much more valuable than the knife insect. Each knife insect leader can be exchanged for one point, which is equivalent to killing twenty knife insects.
But relatively speaking, it is much more difficult to kill a knife insect leader than a knife insect.
"Everyone, be careful. Those sword bug leaders are highly poisonous. Don't be pricked by their poisonous needles!" Lu Xiao couldn't help but remind him. In fact, everyone except Luo Zheng knows the sword bugs very well. This is tantamount to saying
For Luo Zheng.
Each sword insect leader is a fourth-level monster, and its strength is equivalent to that of a half-step innate practitioner. Moreover, this purple sword insect leader is full of poison and is covered with spikes, making it very difficult to deal with.
After hearing Lu Xiao's reminder, Luo Zheng did not show the slightest fear on his face, but rushed forward immediately.
The purple sword insect leaders discovered Luo Zheng at the front. They made a "squeaking" insect sound in mid-air. These sword insect leaders were actually communicating with each other!
The biggest difference between knife insect leaders and ordinary knife insects is that they all have intelligence and can communicate.
Noticing Luo Zheng rushing out alone, six or seven knife insect leaders formed a fan shape and surrounded Luo Zheng after communicating.
"Oh, brother Luo Zheng, you are so reckless that you are surrounded by the leader of the knife insects!" Lu Xiao shouted.
"Let's go rescue him quickly," Yang Tai and Zhao Xuyong said and were about to rush forward. After the battle just now, everyone got to know each other a little bit and became temporary fighting partners. Of course they didn't want Luo Zheng to be killed by those few
The leaders of the knife bugs join forces to strangle.
Only Lord Mengchang stood motionless. From his perspective, Luo Zheng was not such a reckless person. Once he was really reckless, it was because he had the strength to deal with it.
So he didn't move. He wanted to see how Luo Zheng could deal with six knife insect leaders at once.
