Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 631 - 459: Doomsday Desert, Space Crack_2

Lu Lin gave a command, and everyone nodded silently; no one questioned Lu Lin's arrangements.

Lu Lin landed the flying boat and made arrangements for forming a camp, waiting for the drumming Ming Jin group to arrive and assist.

It was amidst the rising smoke that Li Yuan finally arrived before Lu Lin.

The moment he appeared in front of Lu Lin, he looked somewhat bedraggled. The previously smooth and neat golden armor bore numerous cracks at the stomach and legs, and Lu Lin even spotted traces of acid corrosion on the armor.

This was somewhat unbelievable.

Lu Lin had previously learned that, while Li Yuan's golden armor wasn't very hard, its protective capability for the Star Core Period was adequate enough. But now, it was so worn and torn.

This guy might not be trying to complain about poverty to Lu Lin.

"Brother Lu Lin, sorry I'm late, damn it, I ran into a bunch of big bugs on the road, really wasn't pleasant."

Li Yuan complained aloud, heard by many human martial artists, yet none seemed curious about his words; everything concerning the team was left to Lu Lin's decisions, and all they needed to do was follow his orders.

"What kind of insects left Brother Li Yuan so bedraggled? Want me to help vent some anger for you?"

Lu Lin casually said, yet felt an involuntary chill within.

Li Yuan's ability had reached the Star Core Peak, yet even in golden armor he ended up in such a state; if Lu Lin and his team proceeded, they might face danger too.

"Ah, say no more, it was a pack of Furry-mouthed Insects, I was just passing over them, but happened upon two groups of Furry-mouthed Insects fighting, and got pulled down and beaten for it. If not for my luck, you might still be waiting for me."

"By the way, you probably don't know what Furry-mouthed Insects are, right? Let me tell you, they're really disgusting."

Li Yuan said, constructing a shape of a Furry-mouthed Insect in his hands using Star Power.

Entirely milky white, with a body proportion somewhat similar to the blue caterpillars common in summer, but around its mouth was a ring of short black velvet hair, reminiscent of a toilet brush.

"This thing?" Lu Lin asked incredulously.

"Hm? You don't believe it? Want me to take you there to see for yourself, forget it, let's not wait till later, let's deal with this pack of Furry-mouthed Insects now, since we need to fly over them later anyway, and if they're still there, we absolutely can't bypass them."

Saying this, Lu Lin completely disbelieved.

No matter how mighty these Furry-mouthed Insects are, can't I just bypass them? Or elevate my flying altitude so the insects can't reach, how is it absolutely impossible to go around them?

Naturally, Li Yuan noticed the doubt in Lu Lin's eyes, but said nothing further, grabbing Lu Lin's arm, "Come, I'll take you to see, then you'll know how terrifying those Furry-mouthed Insects truly are, something beyond imagination."

Lu Lin stood up and cautioned the three thousand martial artists not to wander off randomly, then formed a Spiritual Strength shield and followed Li Yuan to fly away.

"Brother Li Yuan, can't we teleport here? If we truly can't pass later, we could just teleport across."

Li Yuan shook his head, didn't provide much explanation, simply shook his head at Lu Lin saying, "You'll understand soon."

After flying a while, Lu Lin understood why Li Yuan didn't teleport.

Space fissures.

Space fissures everywhere.

Perpetually existing, momentarily passing, space fissures of varying sizes, releasing completely distinct auras, abruptly emerged before Lu Lin's eyes.

The nearby areas weren't vast in space fissure coverage, appearing somewhat sparse, barring the occasional sudden fissure, a bit of caution allows even Sixth and Seventh Level martial artists to pass safely.

But further away, seeing the densely packed, erratically shifting space fissures made Lu Lin involuntarily tense up.

Upon reaching the Titled King Realm, martial artists can teleport within the Exotic Battlefield, although without comprehensive understanding of space, Lu Lin felt sufficient. Yet he never expected to encounter such a terrifying space fissure barrier in the Doomsday Desert.

"So, Lu Lin, do you understand now why I said you can't go around it? Passing through this space fissure area is lethal unless you have impeccable luck today, entering means no coming out alive."

"Let's go, I'll still take you to see the pack of Furry-mouthed Insects."

Li Yuan spoke, and leapt flying, prompting Lu Lin to hurriedly catch up.

After flying a bit, Lu Lin noticed the desert ahead transform into a snow-white landscape like snowfall over the desert.

Getting somewhat closer, Lu Lin realized it wasn't snowfall at all, but white Furry-mouthed Insects writhing and battling upon the ground.

These Furry-mouthed Insects' appearance barely differed from Li Yuan's demonstration, yet the size...

Giving Li Yuan a glance, "Brother Li Yuan, you showed me a tiny Furry-mouthed Insect, but these are huge creatures?"

"Huge creatures?"

Li Yuan gazed at the over-three-meter-high and over-ten-meter-long Furry-mouthed Insects afar, puzzled at Lu Lin's words, and said, "These small things you call huge creatures?"

Now it was Lu Lin's turn to be stunned; each Furry-mouthed Insect resembled a Human Federation locomotive attached to a carriage, yet for such size, it's not considered big?

Li Yuan soon realized, Lu Lin's first encounter with creatures capable of devouring worlds made him largely unaware of their size and power, so he pulled Lu Lin aside for a brief explanation.

Furry-mouthed Insects were among the monsters, yet the weakest kind.

In the entire monster tribe, Furry-mouthed Insects served as food for countless monsters, existing at the lowest rung of the food chain.

Yet despite that, their Hu Wei Army's team barely managed to contend with such monsters.

Especially when Furry-mouthed Insect numbers rose, beyond swift escaping and sheer luck, almost nothing else worked.

Due to being at the bottom of the monster hierarchy, Furry-mouthed Insects generally appear in groups, fiercely gnawing, engulfing enemies or other insect groups, turning them into nourishment and food, enlarging themselves.

The stronger a Furry-mouthed Insect, the larger its size.

"Then Brother Li Yuan, how powerful is a group of three-meter-tall Furry-mouthed Insects?"

"Their strength roughly matches Star Core Period cultivators, though their combat isn't straightforward."

"Their strength lies not only in attack but, crucially, in survival capability."

"If a Furry-mouthed Insect is cut, it doesn't die but splits into two shorter, weaker insects. You keep cutting, they keep multiplying unless you locate and shatter their Core Crystal Nucleus, otherwise, they'll persist." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"This explains why Furry-mouthed Insects despite having no combat capabilities remain alive within the food chain's lowest rung."

Lu Lin hadn't anticipated such powerful life force from Furry-mouthed Insects, and instinctively retrieved his broken knife from the Storage Ring.

Li Yuan, surprised by the action, said, "Lu Lin, you're not contemplating attacking these Furry-mouthed Insects, right? Don't do anything foolish, there are at least tens of thousands of these insects, attacking one equals attacking ten thousand; even a deity couldn't save you then."

"I almost forgot to tell you, like all other monsters, Furry-mouthed Insects possess exceptional chewing, digesting, and devouring skills; worlds, humans, or your weapon can be easily consumed."

"Better return, wait several days for them to disperse, then we can pass smoothly."

Li Yuan was speaking, only to witness Lu Lin clutching the broken knife and charging forward.
