61: Cockroach Lord

The massive tornado was like a cutting machine.

Wherever it passed, the surrounding Cockroaches were sucked inside, dyeing the entire whirlwind black.

The whirlwind grew larger as it spun, and more and more Cockroaches were sucked in.

Five seconds later.

The whirlwind dissipated, and a rain of minced meat fell from the sky.

The Cockroaches further away were not afraid; instead, they swarmed over to devour the minced meat, quickly filling the void created by the tornado.

The slaughter continued.

experience points skyrocketed.

Although the experience points brought by each Cockroach were not much, the quantity was massive.

In less than an hour, Xu Le had already gained over 60 million experience points, leveling up twice in a row.

Reaching level 55.

The sea of Cockroaches was finally nearing exhaustion.

Zzzzz...

A terrifying sound rang out.

The volume was low, but it was extremely sharp, and the frequency was terrifyingly high, just like an electric motor.

It made one's scalp tingle.

The remaining Cockroaches finally stopped charging; one by one, they inexplicably turned blood-red, frantically flapping their wings, flying to the very center to form a sphere, and devouring each other.

Little Yellow Chicken led the Clones to spit ten large fireballs, which collided with the blood sphere and exploded.

A layer of Cockroaches on the periphery died, and before they could hit the ground, they were devoured by the remaining Cockroaches.

When ordinary small fireballs were spat again, the blood-colored Cockroaches only lost a little health, ignored it, and continued to devour each other.

Clearly, they had become stronger in the process!

Using Skills at this time was not only useless but would actually accelerate their transformation.

Little Silly Crows all squawked together, and all the Clones gathered to aggregate into a massive Nether Raven.

Time passed.

With all the blood-colored Cockroaches devouring each other, only one entirely red Cockroach Lord remained.

Zzzzz...

The Cockroach Lord roared excitedly, its two blood-colored antennae waving wildly in the air, as if sensing something.

Little Black Snake suddenly sprang up from the ground, shooting towards the Cockroach in the air.

Despair Strangulation!

However, at the critical moment, the Cockroach Lord flapped its wings and narrowly dodged the pounce.

Looking down at the Little Black Snake that had landed, the intent to mock was clear.

Little Black Snake flicked its tongue and sprang up again, but the Cockroach Lord dodged even more easily.

Mental Shock!

Previously, with the sky full of Cockroaches, saving this Skill was a waste.

Now, Xu Le slammed it directly onto the Cockroach Lord.

The Cockroach Lord's figure stiffened, and it was hit by six black shockwaves.

Then came the ordinary small fireball attacks.

One second later, the Cockroach Lord regained consciousness and nimbly dodged the attacks one after another.

Although it was hit occasionally, the effect was average.

Compared to its health bar, it could only be considered average.

Zzzzz...

The Cockroach Lord flapped its wings, and over thirty Cockroaches appeared.

This was its Skill—Summon Guards.

It could summon a wave of ordinary Cockroaches every 30 seconds, ranging from 30 to 50.

Ordinary Cockroaches did not have the strength of the Cockroach Lord; in less than two seconds, they were blasted into minced meat by the dense attacks.

The Cockroach Lord was not angry; instead, it pounced forward, devouring the minced meat one by one, and green numbers began to appear on its body—it was actually recovering health.

If the ordinary Cockroaches were not killed, there would be more and more of them; heaven knows if they would turn into a second Lord.

If they were killed, they would become blood potions for the Cockroach Lord, prolonging the time to kill it.

At this moment.

Little Silly Crow placed its two wings in front of itself, posing in prayer: "Oh God, please let your pet stop for a moment; I can control it."

An exceptionally clear thought drifted from Xu Le's heart; it was actually more useful than Mind Link.

Xu Le called for the four little ones to stop. (Little Peach Tree: Did I even do anything?)

Little Silly Crow suddenly let out a strange, long cry— "Ya~"

Spiritual Interrogation!

The sound wave rushed into the Cockroach Lord's ears, instantly hooking up its various good thoughts; good and evil intertwined, and it went heart and soul into deep thought, completely forgetting that it was in battle.

Little Black Snake finally seized the opportunity and used the "Elephant Swallowing" Skill to swallow the entire Cockroach Lord.

The Cockroach Lord instantly woke up, but it had already been swallowed into the belly and could only attack wildly.

- 623.

- 586.

- 600.

- 595.

+ 1830. (In Little Peach Tree's Spirit Domain, the health recovered by the Elephant Swallowing Skill cannot be tripled because it is essentially bloodsucking.)

Just after entering the snake's belly, the Cockroach Lord's attack speed was very fast; in one second, it could actually deal nearly 2400 points of damage.

This was thanks to its ability to negate 80% of damage, plus its abnormal Physical Body defense; otherwise, it would have been even worse.

However, every second, it could recover a full 1810 points of health, so it was completely unfazed.

Xu Le was still holding onto a "Life Recovery" Skill that he hadn't used, feeling completely unafraid.

20 seconds later.

A familiar sound rang out.

[Experience + 1628000]

Little Black Snake knew that the Cockroach Lord inside its body had died, and it retched wildly, spitting out the corpse that had been corroded by stomach acid.

Two pieces of equipment were spat out along with it.

[Weapon] Whirlwind Sword

[Quality] Epic

[Usage Conditions] contracted beast

[Equipment Attribute] Increases attack speed by 30%.

[Accessory] Whirlwind Antenna

[Quality] Epic

[Usage Conditions] contracted beast

[Equipment Attribute] Increases agility by 20%.

The two pieces of equipment were a set; when equipped together, they could grant 1% life steal.

Xu Le thought for a moment, went over the characteristics of his five contracted beasts in his mind, and without further hesitation, directly equipped the gear onto Little Silly Crow.

Little Silly Crow looked excited and placed its two wings on its chest: "Thanks to my God for the gift."

Xu Le heard Little Silly Crow's clear voice again and understood that this must be a special way of communication between a god and a believer; it could only be heard when Little Silly Crow was praying, but not at other times.

After Little Black Snake finished spitting, it thought about how it was able to bite... (retch), all thanks to Little Silly Crow, and its wariness of it was largely eliminated.

It crawled to its side, preparing to pat it with its tail to express gratitude, but what it saw was a pair of warlike eyes.

What's up? Want to fight?

Little Black Snake gave an awkward smile.

Time to go!

Except for the Cockroach Lord, there wasn't a single Cockroach corpse on the ground; they had all been eaten by their own kind.

Thinking of the Cockroaches' tenacious vitality, Xu Le directly had Little Yellow Chicken spit fireballs to burn the Cockroach Lord on the ground completely into ashes.

Mind Link dispersed.

There were a few scattered connection points.

They were actually Cockroaches that had hidden away.

It was unknown if they were afraid of the battle or if they were seeds specifically hiding, preparing for a comeback.

Xu Le dispatched Little Yellow Chicken and its Clones to go forward one by one, kill them all, and burn the corpses clean.

Little Yellow Chicken's eyes were filled with joy; the disappointment of not getting the equipment just now was swept away.

After Xu Le confirmed that the surroundings were completely clean, he continued moving forward.

...

Ten minutes later.

Two middle-aged men appeared at the place where Xu Le had burned the Cockroach Lord, pinched the dust on the ground, and took out instruments to start investigating the surroundings.

"This kid does things cleanly; he didn't miss a single one, good, good, good!"

"Hahaha, I, Sharp Blade, have gained another talent!"

The two spoke while recording, their mouths full of irrepressible smiles.

They didn't notice at all that their shadows were slightly strange, as if an invisible person was blocking some of the sunlight.
