139: Black-winged locust

In the chaos, dozens of Heaven Treading Alliance members with flying mounts soared into the sky, heading straight for the airship fleet.

However, before they could get close, various long-range attacks suddenly rained down.

Under the dense barrage, several riders instantly screamed and fell.

"Holy Light Shield!"

At the critical moment, a dazzling white light barrier unfurled in front of the Heaven Treading Alliance formation, protecting everyone within.

The incoming attacks landed on the light barrier, creating ripples, but unable to break through this defense.

"It's Great Expert Yaotian!"

"Great Expert Yaotian is awesome!"

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

Lin Xingyu and the others also noticed this "Great Expert Yaotian."

He wore shining golden armor, and even the griffon beneath him was dyed golden.

This appearance was particularly striking on the battlefield, to the point of being extremely showy.

"SS-Rank Spirit Seed?"

Lin Xingyu was slightly surprised when he saw Jin Yaotian's information.

It seemed the Heaven Treading Alliance truly had hidden talents; this was the second SS-Rank Spirit Seed he had discovered.

Jin Yaotian's spirit seed possessed Holy Light attributes and specialized in various support abilities.

At this moment, he was smugly enjoying everyone's praise, casually bestowing several buffs on his companions nearby.

"Let's go too!"

Seeing Jin Yaotian hogging all the limelight, Wang Ledian immediately grew anxious, leaping onto his Black Plume Eagle and charging forward.

How could he let others steal such a "spotlight" opportunity?

However, as soon as he charged up, Wang Ledian regretted it.

He used a saber and shield, and had no long-range attack capabilities.

The "Curse of Misfortune" was silent and invisible, so no one could see it.

How was he supposed to show off in front of everyone?

"Old Dian, learn a thing or two!"

Wang Chiyao also flew up, and seeing Wang Ledian's gloomy expression, she couldn't help but find it amusing.

She waved her hand, summoning a swarm of Explosion Bees that surged towards the enemy airships.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

A series of explosions erupted in the air, smoke billowing and obscuring half the sky.

"Wow, is she a Puppet Master? So many Puppets!"

"Controlling so many Puppets alone, that's like an entire army!"

The surrounding Heaven Treading Alliance members exclaimed in admiration.

Wang Chiyao smugly raised her chin at Wang Ledian, about to boast a bit, but then noticed that after the smoke cleared, the airships were completely unharmed.

Each airship had a translucent spirit energy shield that had blocked all the previous attacks.

"Tsk tsk, the Wanding Chamber of Commerce is truly rich and powerful!"

Seeing this, Lin Xingyu couldn't help but exclaim.

Protective shields were very expensive, yet the Wanding Chamber of Commerce had equipped every airship with a set.

"I refuse to believe it!"

Wang Chiyao immediately felt she couldn't back down, and instantly summoned more Explosion Bees, preparing to bombard the airships.

"Chi Yao, don't be in a hurry."

Lin Xingyu stopped her, pointing at the foremost airship and saying,

"Old Dian, hit that one with a Curse of Misfortune first!"

These shields usually had a defensive limit; as long as the instantaneous attack exceeded that limit, it could be broken.

He planned to concentrate their firepower and take down the airships one by one.

"Alright!"

Wang Ledian immediately acted, and the "Curse of Misfortune" silently enveloped that airship.

At the same time, Lin Xingyu also summoned his star ray shuttle, aiming it at the airship.

"Get ready, I'll count to three, and everyone attack together!"

...Under the concentrated fire of the crowd, the airship's shield instantly shattered.

Without the protection of its shield, the airship was quickly shot down.

Next was the next one... Lin Xingyu and the others were highly efficient, shooting down most of the airships in a short time.

Seeing this, the Heaven Treading Alliance members all showed shock.

"Holy crap, they did it so easily?"

"Suddenly I feel so useless..."

They had been besieging one airship, seemingly fighting fiercely, yet hadn't even managed to breach one.

Jin Yaotian watched as Lin Xingyu and the others stole the limelight, feeling very depressed.

His abilities were all support-based, with no offensive skills.

Just then, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound approaching from afar.

Looking up, he saw a dark "black cloud" appearing on the horizon, sweeping over like a tidal wave.

"Holy crap, what is that thing?"

"Oh no! It's Black-Winged Locusts! Run!"

Seeing this, everyone on the battlefield's faces changed drastically, and they abandoned their opponents, fleeing into the distance.

"Brother Yu, let's run!"

Wang Ledian shouted, urging his Black Plume Eagle to flee into the distance.

He had seen information about Black-Winged Locusts on the spirit net.

These were a type of locust-like exotic beast that fed on animal flesh and blood.

Their population was vast, countless.

If you encountered them, do not hesitate, flee immediately!

"Old Dian, why are you running? We have Inner Worlds!"

Lin Xingyu called out, then disappeared from his spot, returning to his Inner World.

"Haha, Old Dian, you're losing your head!"

Wang Chiyao laughed, then also disappeared.

"Ahem..."

Wang Ledian immediately realized that he had been too nervous just now and had forgotten about his Inner World.

Seeing the locust swarm about to arrive, he had a thought and also returned to his Inner World... "That was terrifying!"

Wang Ledian patted his chest, still feeling lingering fear.

At this moment, the locust swarm was chasing in the direction the crowd had fled; he wondered if they could escape this calamity?

"So many Black-Winged Locusts, what a waste!"

Wang Chiyao clicked her tongue.

The dense swarm of Black-Winged Locusts outside, if they were evolution fruits, how many would there be!

"Chi Yao, send the Explosion Bees to follow them!"

Lin Xingyu also had ideas about the Black-Winged Locusts.

He had seen data about Black-Winged Locusts on the spirit net.

Individual Black-Winged Locusts were very weak in combat, had an extremely low chance of dropping spirit crystals, and their bodies couldn't yield any valuable Materials.

For humans, this creature was almost useless.

However, their habitats contained treasures that many forces coveted.

More precisely, the soil in their habitats.

It was mixed with a large amount of Black-Winged Locust droppings, and after years of accumulation, gradually formed a type of spirit soil: black soil.

black soil could not only accelerate plant growth but also induce plant mutation.

This mutation was usually positive, often making plants more powerful.

Lin Xingyu planned to get some black soil and put it in his Inner World.

He wanted to let the treants root in it and see if he could cultivate new varieties of treants.

Even if he couldn't cultivate treants, it would be a good choice for cultivating other plants.

As long as it could mutate, it meant infinite possibilities!

He was not only interested in black soil but also didn't mind the Black-Winged Locust corpses.

These corpses might be useless to others, but not to them.

These were all evolution fruits!

"OK!"

Wang Chiyao released her Explosion Bees, following far behind the locust swarm.

Explosion Bees were Puppets, without flesh and blood, so the Black-Winged Locusts were not interested in them.

As long as they didn't provoke them, the other party wouldn't bother to attack...
