The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 99: Soul-devouring Insect Tide, Horrific Natural Disaster

Swish!
Lu Chen formed seals with his hands, and purple-gold flames suddenly rose up, turning into a flame shield that rose around the three of them, and then galloped across the vast dark red grassland.

Swish!
The flame shield advanced among countless dark red tornadoes, and its surface continued to dim. However, countless dark red strange insects also cried out strangely, and many of them spontaneously combusted. It was vaguely visible that countless purple-gold rays of light seeped out of their bodies, and then they turned into a pile of ashes.

"These bugs? Are they afraid of fire?"

Inside the flame shield, Cai Xiao observed for a moment and said with some surprise.

"Well, Soul Devouring Insects are indeed afraid of fire, but although flames can restrain them, it is difficult to completely eliminate them because they reproduce too quickly. If we can't eliminate them all at once, setting more fires will be useless."

"The Great Thousand World is fine. We can use the power of space to confine them within a certain space. The space barrier is strong enough for them to break through. If such a thing were to be placed in the lower planes, it would definitely be a world-destroying disaster."

Lu Chen recalled the record in the Insect Control Heart Sutra about the insect plague that almost destroyed the entire Gu world. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Soul-eating insect, ranked sixth on the list of strange insects in the Gu world.

Once it was born, it swept across the entire Western Desert, turning the prosperous area that ranked among the top three in the entire Gu world into a desert.

If it weren't for the fact that at that time there was a great master named Kongwen who was proficient in the power of space and brought the space Gu ranked third on the list of strange insects to perform the great magical power of sealing the sky and the earth to seal the entire Western Desert and cut off the spiritual energy, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Even so, after all the soul-eating insects were eliminated, the Western Desert became the most barren area in the Gu world, without a doubt.

Swish!
Lu Chen's hand seals remained unchanged, and purple-gold flames continued to burst out from his body, strengthening his defense, and he rushed forward at full speed.

And in the back, there was a constant stream of screams. It was unknown how many young and strong men were drowned by the sea of ​​insects and turned into bones.

However, at this time Lu Chen was unable to save them. Once surrounded by a sea of ​​insects, he would be exhausted to death sooner or later even if he had the protection of the Purple Extreme Luo Fire.

Whoosh!
At this full speed, half an hour later.

Lu Chen finally flew out of the red grassland and landed on a bare stone mountain. He turned around and saw a sea of ​​red fog rising in the red grassland, like a moving natural disaster.

However, in addition to them, there were some figures who escaped in a panic. These people, like Lu Chen, had cultivated spiritual power with fire attributes. With the help of this power, they broke out of the encirclement of the sea of ​​insects.

“It was a heavy loss of life.”

Lu Chen's face was solemn. There were at least a thousand strong men who appeared in this grassland just now, but at this time, there were probably less than a hundred people who escaped. This kind of casualty rate made even his scalp tingle.

"But it's rare to come across such a strange insect. It seems to be a mutated species bathed in the essence of dragon and phoenix blood. I'll catch a few to study them."

A gleam of light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, the spiritual power in his body surged, the purple-gold flames surged around him, and his big hand suddenly stretched out.

boom!
I saw a giant hand condensed from purple-gold flames suddenly condensed into shape in the air, emitting a terrifying temperature, and grabbed the dark red insect swarm fiercely!
Chi Chi!

A piece of the sea of ​​insects suddenly collapsed, and a big hand rushed into the sea of ​​insects. In an instant, the strange insects around it that were stained with purple-gold flames turned into ashes, and the sharp squeaking sounds continued to ring out.

Whoosh!
Lu Chen waved his sleeves, and a purple-gold light was retracted. A purple-gold flame ball flashed on his palm, and dozens of dark red strange insects could be vaguely seen inside the ball.

"Lu Chen, why are you catching these bugs?"

Lin Jing on the side asked curiously.

"If I can successfully tame this insect, it will be of great use to me. Soul-devouring insects reproduce very quickly and are easy to raise. I just need to feed them something containing spiritual energy and they will survive. They are perfect as cannon fodder."

Lu Chen looked at the dark red strange insects in the light ball, his eyes flashing with anticipation, and said with a smile. According to the records in the Insect Control Heart Sutra, the Soul Devouring Insect is simply the best type of soldier in the way of battle formations.

After all, for a battle formation master, the refinement of battle patterns depends on two points. One is the quantity and quality of the army, and the other is the strength of one's own will.

One's own thoughts are often closely related to one's own mental strength, and this improvement can only be achieved by oneself.

However, the quantity and quality of the army can be manipulated.

The Soul-Eating Insect is a poisonous insect that reproduces extremely quickly. As long as there is enough spiritual power, it can reproduce hundreds of thousands of catastrophic poisonous insects in a month. It is simply the best consumable material for the art of battle.

Although their own combat power is not good, if the number is sufficient, they can also condense a terrifying number of battle patterns.

Nine colors flowed in his eyes, and Lu Chen formed seals with his hands. Countless golden runes condensed in his hands and poured into the dark red strange insect in the light ball, and soon refined it successfully.

Then, Lu Chen waved his sleeves and collected these soul-devouring insects into the Supreme Sea. He said to the two women beside him: "Okay, I have subdued these soul-devouring insects. Let's go and find the Dragon and Phoenix Pool."

The two women nodded, and saw Cai Xiao snapping his fingers, and spiritual power surged, turning into a spiritual power map in front of them. It was the map obtained from the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion that recorded the five dragon and phoenix pools.

"We should be heading in this direction."

Cai Xiao pointed her slender jade finger at the lower left corner of the map, then she slowly moved upwards, pointing to the light spot closest to them on the map: "The Dragon and Phoenix Pond closest to us is here. We can fight for it first."

Lu Chen nodded without any hesitation. He shook the wings behind him, and the purple flame wings spread out, and he soared into the sky.

"Walk."

Lu Chen said softly, and then he took the lead to soar into the sky and flew towards the direction of the Dragon and Phoenix Pool.

Behind him, Cai Xiao and Lin Jing also flew into the sky and followed closely behind.

……

Swish!
Three streaks of light passed quickly across the vast land. Their speed was extremely fast, but they were silent as they passed by, obviously they were deliberately restraining their breath.

The three beams of light passed through thousands of feet in the blink of an eye, but after a moment they suddenly stopped, and with a flash of their figures, they landed on a mountain below and disappeared.

Shortly after they disappeared, there was a sudden earth-shaking tremor between the sky and the earth in front of them. Hundreds of huge blood-colored beasts flew by, each of them emitting spiritual fluctuations of the supreme realm, and their bodies were filled with a strong bloody smell.

"Another group of unknown beasts. When a whale falls, all things come to life. The blessings of the two supreme heavenly beings have created countless such strange beasts. It's truly terrifying..."

Lu Chen looked at the group of blood-red giant beasts flying over his head and said with some emotion.

Cai Xiao flicked her finger, releasing a spiritual map. After comparing their current location, she said calmly, "We're almost there. We should be there in just half a minute."

"Let's go then."

"I wonder what the guardian beast of the Dragon and Phoenix Pond is. I hope it's not too difficult."

Lu Chen smiled indifferently, then rushed into the sky and flew away into the distance.

Seeing this, the two women also turned into a stream of light and flew away into the distance.
