Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 1079 - 471: Catching a Turtle in a JarโWho Is the Lord of Insects? (Part 2)
Their mouthparts opened and closed, emitting a buzzing sound that faintly harmonized with the music played by the Gu Gods.
In the valley, there echoed an ancient and mysterious hymn. ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐๐ป๐ผ๐ฏ๐๐.๐๐ผ๐บ
During the hymn, mysterious ancient runes appeared on the bodies of the Gu Gods, their aura growing several times stronger than before!
Zheng Fa seemed unsuccessful in his attack, and with a desire to retreat, he grabbed Zhangโs wrist, transforming into a long rainbow and flying towards the outside of the valley.
A cold smile appeared on the Gu Godโs face, as a giant butterfly flew out from its body. This butterfly, with wings thin as cicada wings, sparkled with silvery starlight. When it spread its wings, a starry sky appeared above the valley in an instant.
Zheng Faโs rainbow light flew straight into the nebula, as if encountering an obstacle, it was forced back down and helplessly landed on the ground.
"Finally found me." The Gu Godโs mocking voice echoed through the valley, "Why leave now?"
Zheng Faโs gaze fell on the strange and beautiful butterfly, seeming quite fearful.
"This is the good child I raised." The Gu God, proud of her butterfly, stroked its wings, "Her name is Sky Splitter Butterfly. With her here, no one can escape!"
Zheng Faโs face subtly turned ugly.
Outside the valley, those persistent Loose Cultivators, upon seeing this scene of entrapment, finally fell into despair. Some turned to flee, some resisted, and others knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the valley.
Zheng Fa and his companions fled desperately within the swarm.
They were surrounded by a circle of golden flames, blocking various attacks from the Gu insects.
These flames were powerful, but the Gu Godโs methods were even more cunning:
As the rainbow light flickered, Zheng Faโs body suddenly halted, revealing his form; his face shrouded in black mist, seemed poisoned.
The surrounding cultivators could all see the problem:
Zheng Faโs Escape Technique was strong, and the True Fire restrained the Gu insects, but Gu poison and insects were traditionally inseparable, and unbeknownst to him, the poison had already entered Zheng Faโs body.
Master Zhang seemed to notice this too, her expression calm, as a golden light from her spirit bamboo fell upon Zheng Fa.
The black mist on Zheng Faโs face suddenly dissolved.
"That spirit bamboo is truly magical..."
"What use is it?" Someone despairingly retorted, "Canโt escape, dead inevitably."
No one refuted, as it was an all too obvious fact.
This valley had become an insect nest, and despite their strong Divine Skills and powerful Magical Treasures, Zheng Fa and his companions would exhaust and die without escape.
Not to mention, the Gu God hadnโt even acted!
She stood atop the mountain, behind the Sky Splitter Butterfly, directing the insect swarm to attack Zheng Faโs group without personally engaging.
Her face displayed enjoyment in toying with her enemies.
However, the elderly leader of the resistance suddenly shouted, "Sheโs afraid!"
"Afraid?"
The crowd looked up, only to see an inexplicable dread on the Gu Godโs face.
This stirred hope among the Loose Cultivators, yet upon seeing Zheng Faโs worsening situation, their hopes were dashedโZheng Faโs group appeared increasingly desperate.
Navigating the swarm was increasingly challenging, and their faces grew paler.
Especially Zhang, who tirelessly used Qingjing Bamboo to treat the Gu poison for the three.
Though Qingjing Bamboo was potent, her Mana was limited, and her presence subtly receded.
No sign of overturning the odds was apparent; the Gu God seemed unworried.
She remained cautious, refraining from approaching, instead lightly waving her hand.
The Gu insects attacking Zheng Faโs group, moved as if commanded, recklessly charging towards them.
The Great Sun True Fire flared brighter beside Zheng Fa but couldnโt fend off the Gu insects.
Gu insects perished in the fire, falling from the sky, yet more surged forth.
The blazing Great Sun True Fire consumed both the insectsโ lives and Zheng Faโs Spiritual Power.
Yet the insects seemed endless.
On Zheng Faโs face, a daunting dark green mist spreadโhe was poisoned again!
But Zhang seemed absorbed, managing the insects before her with Qingjing Bamboo.
Everyone watched helplessly as the insect tide devoured the trio.
Their position became a black mound, engulfed by countless Gu insects.
The mound appeared like a grave, burying Zheng Fa, renowned prodigy of Xuanwei.
Even the Gu Godโs face couldnโt suppress a hint of joy.
Meanwhile, the Lu Clan were overjoyedโJiushan Sectโs offensive put tremendous pressure on Haori Mountain.
Seeing Zheng Faโs demise was a relief to them.
But contrary to their pleasure, the Loose Cultivators stared at the black mound, feeling darkness fall upon the earth as the Great Sun True Fire extinguished.
Gradually, even the insect swarm calmed.
The valley fell silent.
Until the Gu Godโs scream broke the despair:
"What have you done?"
The crowd was bewildered.
Why was the Gu God so agitated amidst victory?
Yet the Gu God ignored their confusion, her gaze fixed on the mound.
The mountain cracked open, and Zheng Faโs trio gracefully emerged.
Curiously, many insects previously eager to devour them, lined up beside them.
Steel Armored Beetles held shields ahead, Golden Arm Centipedes brandished swords behind, Illusion Butterflies adorned Zhangโs head, while Cold Frost Silkworms cast cold air, paving an ice-crystal road.
