179: Plague Moth

Northern Darkness finally couldn't hold back. It felt particularly stifled in the cabin. It had no feathers and couldn't fly, so it simply swam over and made its way to the island.

Seeing a large, featherless bird waddling over, all the Elves were dumbfounded.

What is this?

"This is Northern Darkness. It's an Eagle King. Unfortunately, when it crossed the Falling Star Sea, its feathers were burned off by Atomic Breath. It used to be very handsome..."

Han Huohuo knew Northern Darkness was thin-skinned, so he quickly explained the situation to the Elves.

Jingwei tilted her head, looking at Northern Darkness. She felt a pure bloodline of an ancient giant beast on Northern Darkness, which surprised her greatly.

Although Northern Darkness was completely featherless, it proudly held its head high, though its small eyes darted around, unable to hide its guilt.

It thought, 'They won't look down on me, will they? I'm so ugly?'

Just then, everyone heard a buzzing sound in the darkness.

The Elves made the bonfire brighter. In the pitch-black night, this bonfire became the last barrier of civilization. Terrifying Moths had already appeared in the air, spreading their wings, over a meter long, like large birds.

Their bodies were decayed and oozing thick fluid, looking extremely disgusting.

【Plague Moth】: Chaos creature, untamable, Tier 3.

【Combat Power】: Strength 12, Defense 10, Stamina 10, Intelligence 10.

【Special Skills】: Plague, infects plants and land, forming plague areas where other dark creatures can be born. Flight.

【Drop】: Unknown

【Chance Drop】: Unknown

Their attributes were average, but their numbers were vast. In the darkness, there was no telling how many Moths were swarming towards them.

"Help!"

Han Huohuo gave orders to everyone.

These little things had poor defense. Hua Mulan didn't need her great axe for armor penetration; as long as she carried it, the double attack speed effect would activate. She didn't necessarily have to fight with the great axe. Against these numerous small monsters, a flexible long spear was clearly more suitable.

Wielding her spear in a flurry, Hua Mulan charged directly forward.

Zheng He and Jack, one holding a greatsword and the other a rapier, also met the Moths, shielding the Elves.

The Elves were overjoyed. All Elves were ranged professions, either archers or Druids. Although these Moths weren't strong, once they got close, their sheer numbers would cause immense trouble for the Elves.

With Han Huohuo and a few others participating this time, several tank professions were invisibly added.

Then, a strange sight appeared on the battlefield: all the Moths bypassed Hua Mulan and Zheng He, rushing in a dense black mass towards Han Huohuo.

Damn it!

Han Huohuo cursed. He was a mage, but he had a taunting curse on him, making him as dazzling as the sun in the eyes of monsters.

They just chased after him to kill him.

Helplessly, he raised his Frost Blade and, with a wave, cast Freezing.

Freezing was an area attack, and its effect wasn't great against Moths flying everywhere. Vortex was even more useless.

Both of these skills were actually more suitable for naval combat.

The Elves rejoiced. The Elven archers' magic arrows and the Druids' magic missiles shone with green light in the air, like festive fireworks, beautifully blooming and mercilessly harvesting the lives of the Moths.

Han Huohuo, with a Holy Blood Potion hanging around his neck, wasn't too concerned about these Moths. The only thing that made Han Huohuo uncomfortable was how utterly disgusting these Moths were.

He didn't want to get any of their rotten fluid on him.

"Northern Darkness, don't be lazy, come help!"

Hearing his dad's call, Northern Darkness scurried over. Its fleshy wings, when spread, spanned over ten meters, fanning up a strong wind. These Moths couldn't control their bodies in the wind, wobbling in place.

Northern Darkness was the bane of these low-tier flying monsters. If Northern Darkness still had its feathers, these Moths wouldn't even be enough for it to fight alone.

Jingwei wielded her staff, and countless magic missiles flew into the sky together, tracking the enemies, instantly shooting down a dozen Moths.

Originally, the Elves could handle these Moths themselves, but with human help, it was naturally much easier.

However, Jingwei frowned. This time, there seemed to be more Moths than usual!

Northern Darkness flapped its wings, initially quite lively, but suddenly it cried out and ran back.

It chirped a warning to Han Huohuo.

Han Huohuo was startled. Of course, he understood Northern Darkness's meaning: a big monster was coming! It was very scary!

A strong wind came from the distant sea. A colossal creature was flying towards Sunset Island. Even though it was still in the darkness, its sound reached them first.

Jingwei was very anxious and quickly released a flare.

The flare lit up in the sky, dispelling the darkness over the sea. Everyone saw an incredibly massive Moth flying over, accompanied by a large number of smaller Moths.

Jingwei's expression became very grim. This was the Moth King!

All the Elves panicked. They had no confidence in fighting a terrifying Moth King, thinking, 'Is Sunset Island going to fall too?' They all felt despair.

That Moth King was even larger than Northern Darkness, scaring Northern Darkness into running back and hiding behind Han Huohuo.

【Plague Moth King】: Chaos creature, untamable, Tier 7.

【Combat Power】: Strength 240, Defense 60, Stamina 300, Intelligence 10.

【Special Skills】: Plague, infects plants and land, forming plague areas where other dark creatures can be born. Flight. Inspire, doubles the attributes of all nearby small Moths. Summon, randomly summons one hundred small Moths.

【Drop】: Unknown

【Chance Drop】: Unknown

Even Hua Mulan, Zheng He, and Jack retreated, clearly intimidated by this massive Moth.

Just as the Elves were about to tell Han Huohuo to retreat.

Han Huohuo suddenly roared, "Help me block the small Moths!"

Jingwei was stunned, not knowing why Han Huohuo said that, but she saw Hua Mulan, almost without thinking, immediately transform into three phantoms, standing in front of Han Huohuo. Spears rained down, piercing the small Moths that approached Han Huohuo.

The Elves quickly came to help, blocking the endless Moths from all directions for Han Huohuo.

A flash appeared in Han Huohuo's hand, and a massive Light Spear gradually formed in his grasp, emitting a dazzling glow.

The Moth King fiercely lunged forward.

The magic in Han Huohuo's hand, the Light Spear, gradually took shape. Like a thrown javelin, it was hurled out with immense force, a dazzling white light tearing through the night sky.

The white light was incredibly fast. The Moth King had just flown onto the beach when it was struck by the spear.

Boom!

With a loud bang, it exploded in the air, as expected, instantly killed! The power of a Tier 6 magic was indeed a boss killer.

Ding!

A Chaos gold coin fell from the air. The Moth King couldn't withstand the power of Han Huohuo's spear.

If it were a zombie king, it would likely have dodged or blocked it, but although the Moth King had stronger attacks, it lacked such evasion skills.

The Moth King died.

It died as light as a feather.

It scared everyone, and it scared all the dark creatures. Before long, all the Moths fled, clearly knowing that Sunset Island would not be conquered today.
