185: The 5 million abnormal third-generation worms
Chen Fei was a little dazed. Shouldn't the Third-level Beasts be invading in force? Why were they hiding so far away now?
Ximen Lingyun explained, "Your Gu worms frantically slaughtered a million-strong vanguard in under a minute. That group of Third-level Beasts is completely terrified."
"Out of instinct, they don't dare approach the battlefield even by half a step."
Besides that reason, the Mianling Ghost Tree also recalled those Third-level Beasts.
It had realized that the five million Gu worms were like the natural nemesis of the Third-level Beasts.
Their skills were powerful, and their proficiency was extremely high.
In this state, no matter how many Third-level Beasts charged forward, it wouldn't be enough.
It was better to send them back to the Baiyue Mountain Range first and have them launch a surprise attack... from the shadows when needed!
The High Priest, the Arbiter, and the others were hiding and watching the show.
The High Priest clicked his tongue twice. "To think Baiyue City possesses such power. Cultivating five million Gu worms must have taken quite a bit of effort."
"Wait, these Gu worms look a bit familiar," The Watcher murmured.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. "Could these bugs be that Gu worm of Chen Fei's?"
As soon as he said this, the High Priest, the Arbiter, and the others snapped their heads toward The Watcher. "Are you sure?"
The Watcher narrowed his eyes. "Although they are somewhat different from before, their appearance is eighty percent similar."
"Aside from Chen Fei's Gu worm, I can't think of anyone else."
"Hiss~"
A chorus of gasps followed.
The Insect Master sighed with emotion. "This is getting a bit terrifying!"
"I'm ashamed. As a King-level Beast Tamer, the number of Gu worms I've accumulated isn't even as many as he has alone."
"Just how many Spirit Stones did he dump into this?"
"Moreover, the weakest of these Gu worms is at Level Four, Rank 1, which means the Mother Bug's strength must be at least Level Four, Rank 6 or higher."
"In that case, Chen Fei's strength isn't as simple as being a beginner Grandmaster Level Beast Tamer."
"He is likely already close to Grandmaster Level Rank 7, or even Rank 8."
To see a part and know the whole!
For those in the know, many things could be inferred just from Chen Fei's Third Generation Gu Worms.
"How long has it been since Chen Fei's Awakening?" The High Priest's voice carried a rare, faint tremor, but it was there.
"Exactly one year!"
No one had paid much attention until it was mentioned, and once it was said, everyone present was startled.
"From zero to high-rank Grandmaster Level in one year... isn't this speed a bit too fast?"
"It's more than just too fast; it's reached a level where even 'Prodigy' isn't enough to describe it. He definitely possesses some kind of supreme treasure."
"You mean he obtained the true Legacy of the Lingfu Secret Realm?"
"That's likely the only explanation."
At this moment, everyone had their own hidden thoughts.
Even the Lord, who was silently listening to their conversation, found his thoughts drifting far away.
Such talent and brilliance would be considered a minor Genius even within the Three Thousand Worlds.
He wasn't quite a Prodigy yet; after all, some beings were born at the King-level. How could he compare?
The Lord began to pay close attention to Chen Fei. This was someone who could slip out of control at any moment; he had to keep a close eye... On the other side!
The Mianling Ghost Tree organized another attack: "Four-winged Celestial Moth Beasts, Second Generation Black Slime Worms, step forward.
"You will deal with those five million Gu worms!"
Several thousand Four-winged Celestial Moth Beasts flew out and then hovered in mid-air.
Immediately after, the pustules on their bodies began to quiver, and tens of thousands of Small Moths flew out.
The strength of these moths was similar to that of Little Gu's Third Generation Gu Worms.
Although the number of Small Moths spawned by each Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast wasn't many, there were still several thousand.
When all the Small Moths spread out, their numbers reached a staggering six million, even exceeding the scale of Little Gu's Third-Generation Bugs.
Not only that, there were also over a thousand Second Generation Black Slime Worm Kings.
They directly used [Spore Diffusion], filling the entire space with countless spores of the Black Slime Worm, reaching an extreme level of horror.
If it weren't for Chen Fei's five million Gu worms holding the line, this wave alone would have been more than enough for Baiyue City to handle.
In his past life, only five minutes passed from the start of the Evil Beasts' attack to the city's fall.
It wasn't that Baiyue City's soldiers weren't capable, but that the Evil Beasts were too terrifying.
Now, Chen Fei was using bugs, and the Mianling Ghost Tree was also using bugs. It remained to be seen who would buckle first.
A massive siege battle had unexpectedly evolved into a confrontation between one man and one beast, which was quite bizarre.
However!
What happened next made even the Mianling Ghost Tree tremble.
These Third Generation Gu Worms uniformly used [Puppet Crystal] to control nine Puppets each.
Then, they had all these Puppets use [Crystal Reorganization], which, like the Black Slime Worm's [Spore Diffusion], caused them to disperse into countless crystal particles.
And the number of these crystal particles was actually even greater than the Black Slime Worm's spores.
Seeing this, even the Mianling Ghost Tree was somewhat stunned.
Wasn't this the Black Slime Worm King's specialty? How could the opposing Gu worms also do it? And in such an exaggerated quantity?
Meanwhile, Ximen Lingyun, Jiang Yiyi, and the others also felt a chill run down their spines... Chen Fei was too monstrous!
Five million Gu worms were one thing, but they could even disperse like that.
If they encountered such an opponent themselves, they wouldn't even know where to start.
It seemed like they could do nothing but wait for death.
Even if they tried to do something, it would be utterly futile.
They finally understood why Tuoba Zhiyuan had repeatedly emphasized that the Spirit Guards should take Chen Fei as their captain.
Now, they understood a little.
Ximen Lingyun naturally wanted to compete for the position of captain; his two months of special training hadn't been for nothing.
Seeing such a terrifying scene now, he was slowly abandoning that idea.
As for the Chen Qingyun couple and Cheng Jingjing, they all saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"Old Chen, your son's growth rate is truly frightening!"
In the beginning, Cheng Jingjing only valued Chen Fei's Aptitude and thought he would be a decent junior.
She simply never expected that one year later, this junior would have grown to a level that even she found terrifying.
If word of this got out, how many people would actually believe it!
Besides their bewilderment, the Chen Qingyun couple was mostly happy.
The stronger their son's power, the higher his chances of survival.
In these chaotic times, everything else was illusory; only strength was real.
Amidst everyone's astonishment, the crystal particles and the Black Slime Worm spores collided violently... The moment the crystal particles hit the spores, they self-detonated immediately, having no intention of lingering in battle.
After all, these spores were dangerous; even if just one drifted into the city, it would be extremely perilous.
"Bang bang bang..."
