Chapter 1174 Eriocheir Japonica

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The noonday sun wantonly wasted its heat. The stone-covered Gobi was so hot that it could not stop. It was as if even the air was twisting, causing the scene in the distance to blur and distort.

At this moment, Chu Jun and Wei Sheng stood in the shadow of a wind-eroded sand dune and observed the distant king-class insect nest.

After a day of rest, Chu Jun's lightning spiritual energy had already recovered to its peak state. Wei Sheng's nose bone had clearly been connected, and he had regained his kind appearance of a fairy. To a king-level cultivator, this small injury was nothing.

"Fellow Daoist Han, isn't it too risky for the two of us to attack the king-level bug nest?" Wei Sheng said carefully.

Chu Jun said calmly, "Nearly half of this king-level bug nest has been destroyed. There are only 50,000 to 60,000 remaining bug soldiers. As long as you resist that bug king, the rest will be left to me and the two thousand troops."

Wei Sheng had personally witnessed Chu Jun destroy nearly 40,000 Insect Race cultivators with a single move, so he didn't feel that he was being arrogant at this moment. He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll try my best to hold that Insect King back."

Chu Jun patted him on the shoulder and laughed bitterly, "Do your best to exterminate this nest and give you 20% of its cores."

Wei Sheng cursed shamelessly. However, on second thought, 20% was not bad. There were still 50,000 to 60,000 arachnids in this nest. If all of them were to be exterminated, 20% of their income would be greater than what he had gained a few days ago.

Thinking of this, Wei Sheng's heart couldn't help but heat up. Although this kid surnamed Han was shameless, he had an enormous advantage that no one else had. He was a dual-element king. In terms of spiritual power, his total amount was equivalent to two kings. He could unscrupulously execute a powerful king-level large-scale killing spell, but he didn't have to worry about being too weak after surgery and falling into a dangerous situation.

After observing for a while, Chu Jun raised his chin and instructed, "Go make some noise and lure that bug king out."

Wei Sheng forcefully flew into the air above the bug nest and shouted angrily, "Dirty, lowly reptiles, quickly come out and die. Daolord Dao is here to challenge you!"

Chu Jun couldn't help but be speechless. You even shouted, are you here to fight?

Wei Sheng drank and waited for a moment, but in the end, only a saber gladiator poked its head out of the cave entrance and took a glance. Then, it retreated back as if nothing had happened. It was estimated that it had been harassed for the past two days, so it was too lazy to respond.

Wei Sheng awkwardly glanced in Chu Jun's direction and pulled out his whisk towards the ground.

With a loud boom, the ground was smashed down by the boundless Spiritual Energy, revealing a large number of worm paths beneath the ground.

Angry howls immediately came from the nest. Wei Sheng saw that it was effective and repeatedly waved his whisk, smashing craters into the ground of the nest.

This kind of house demolition had obviously angered the insects in the nest. In an instant, all sorts of insects poured out like flowing water. A huge saber roach struggled to jump up and slashed towards Wei Sheng with a slash of its saber.

Wei Sheng waved his whisk and shattered the saber roach, quickly raising its height.

The arachnids in the bug nest surged out like a flood. In the blink of an eye, the ground within a radius of more than ten kilometers was filled with crawls. They screamed frantically towards the sky, and all kinds of beams of light poured towards Wei Sheng, causing his hands to panic and his feet to become chaotic.

Since the first two traps had already killed all the flying arachnids in the nest, very few of them had rushed out. Even so, the tens of thousands of arachnids on the ground were still heavily bombarded by "artillery fire".

Wei Sheng persisted for two cups of tea, but he still didn't see Chu Jun take action. He couldn't help but be anxious in his heart, "Han Han, that bastard didn't escape on his own, did he?"

Right at this moment, a furious roar sounded from within the insect nest. A boundless evil energy suddenly emerged from underground, followed by a huge crack in the ground.

Two "giant scissors" stretched out from the crack, followed by a head the size of a small hill.

With a loud explosion, a huge monster soared into the sky. Its enormous body was completely exposed from the ground. It looked like a giant golden crab, but it was dragging a tail full of thorns.

Wei Sheng's expression changed drastically. This Insect King was actually a Golden Eriocheir Crab. Among the known Insect Kings, this Golden Eriocheir's combat strength was definitely ranked in the top ten. Even a late King level Insect King might not dare to provoke it.

The Golden Eriocheir Crab flew into the sky and transformed into a bald man in golden armor. He angrily scolded Wei Sheng, "Despicable human, you dare to take advantage of this king's absence to lure this king's insects to death. I originally wanted to settle the score with you, but I came here to seek death myself!"

As soon as the Golden Eriocheir Crab appeared, tens of thousands of arachnids roared into the sky excitedly, clearly cheering for the king.

Wei Sheng was worried. If he wasn't afraid of Chu Jun's Soul Transformation Curse, he would have already turned around and fled. He forcefully waved his scalp and sneered, "Cut the crap. This old man is here today to take your bug's life. Prepare to die!"

The Golden Eriocheir Crab spat out contemptuously and quickly transformed into an insect. The hundred-meter-long giant claw smashed down on Wei Sheng's head.

Wei Sheng did not dare to neglect it. He raised his spirits and began to fight the Golden Crab. The violent energy in an instant shook the earth and shook the mountains.

Wei Sheng was at least at the peak of the early King realm, but it was still enough to resist the golden claw for a period of time. According to Chu Jun's words, he fought while retreating, luring the Insect King out of the sky above the nest.

"Despicable human, is that all you have?" The more the Golden Eriocheir Crab fought, the more courageous it became. A pair of giant claws kicked heavily, causing Wei Sheng to be unable to retaliate.

Wei Sheng struggled to hold on, hoping that Chu Jun would act quickly.

"Die, human!" The Golden Eriocheir Crab let out a roar as two beams of destructive light shot towards Wei Sheng.

Wei Sheng's heart trembled. He quickly tossed out a cyan-colored disc-shaped magic treasure. The magic treasure rapidly swirled and enlarged, and a huge tornado formed. It actually brought two beams of destructive light flying obliquely towards both sides.

Chu Jun, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but curse the old rapist bone. Indeed, there were other magic treasures hidden within. This little azure disc definitely had a mid-grade eighth grade.

Seeing that Wei Sheng was helpless, the Golden Eriocheir Crab couldn't help but roar furiously. Its enormous body actually directly smashed into the whirlwind formed by the azure disc.

Wei Sheng exerted all his Spiritual Energy. The volume of the small azure disc increased tens of times, and it spun rapidly to form a massive tornado visible to the naked eye.

Boom! The Golden Eriocheir Crab crashed into the tornado. The tornado instantly spun rapidly. However, this fellow's defensive power was extraordinarily strong. It was actually not torn apart by the tornado. A vast amount of evil energy suddenly erupted. A crisp sound came and the tornado dissipated. However, the Golden Eriocheir Crab was also thrown away, crashing into the ground and creating a huge crater.

Wei Sheng waved his hand and recalled the small azure disc. He discovered that a small crack had appeared on the surface. He couldn't help but feel heartache. This grade eight middle-grade azure dragon disc was his most powerful magic treasure. Now, it was actually damaged.

Right at this moment, the originally blazing sun suddenly darkened the heavens and the earth. Sizzling, pale lightning exploded, and the heavens and the earth were overshadowed by Gang Sha's incomparable energy.

Chu Jun finally made his move. A terrifying electric net that covered more than ten kilometers was created out of thin air.

"Despicable human, you're courting death!" With a furious roar, the Golden Crab that had smashed into the ground leapt into the air. Evil energy surged out like lightning, pouncing towards Chu Jun in an attempt to interrupt his casting.

Although Wei Sheng was extremely dissatisfied with Chu Jun's delay, he knew that if he did not stop the Golden Eriocheir Crab from wasting all his efforts, he could not regret the Azure Dragon Disk and threw it at the Golden Eriocheir Crab.

"Ao!" With a heaven-shaking dragon roar, the Azure Dragon Butterfly shot out a dragon shadow, forming a massive tornado.

The Golden Eriocheir Crab collided with the tornado, and the tornado immediately dissipated. The Golden Eriocheir Crab was also thrown away. With a thud of the Azure Dragon Plate, two more cracks appeared on its surface.

Zilahong …

Chu Jun's spell had also been completed. The Heaven-destroying and Earth-destroying power grid covered a dozen kilometers around the nest. The entire surface of the nest turned into scorched earth, and there were broken corpses everywhere. Only those who nimbly escaped back into the nest, and some who were powerful enough to survive this attack.

Although Wei Sheng had personally witnessed how terrifying Chu Jun's lightning magic was, he still felt extremely shocked when he saw it again.

After Chu Jun released [Catch All], he immediately released the Innate Divine Tree from the small world and planted it directly at the location of the bug nest. The roots of the Innate Divine Tree quickly occupied a radius of a thousand kilometers underground, killing the insects that were hiding underground. At the same time, he released the thousand soldiers from the small world to participate in the encirclement of the surviving insects on the ground.

Wei Sheng had personally tested the abnormal combat strength of the Innate Divine Tree and knew that this bug nest was completely finished. He also hurriedly released the Thousand Soldiers from the small world to participate in the battle.

There was no suspense in the ensuing battle. Under the joint efforts of Chu Jun and Wei Sheng, the Golden Eriocheir Crab had fought desperately for nearly two hours. In the end, it was defeated and killed. The two thousand-man squadrons over there had already wiped out all the remnants of the arachnid race. A king-level nest had been taken down without any danger.

Chu Jun retrieved the Divine Tree of Life and instructed Cloud Falcon to bring his men to clean up the battlefield. Wei Sheng tactfully recalled his troops and did not participate in the cleaning of the battlefield to prevent Chu Jun from saying that he was hiding bug cores.

It took about two hours for the battlefield to be cleaned up. Cloudfalcon happily ran over to report, "Lord Han, we have finished counting. We have obtained a total of 59,342 insect cores, including 12 Class 7, 133 Class 6, 2341 Class 5, 12,561 Class 4, and Class 3 …"

Chu Jun waved his hand and interrupted, "Give 20% of it to Fellow Daoist Wei!"

Wei Sheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. Although he had damaged an eighth-grade middle-grade magic treasure, this Han had kept his promise and had given him 20% of the harvest. This amount was quite considerable.

"This king-level bug core belongs to me. You can take five seventh-level bug cores. Fellow Daoist Wei, do you have any objections?" Chu Jun said.

The King Grade Insect Core was equivalent to 10 Grade 7 Insect Cores, plus the original 12 Grade 7 Insect Cores, that was 22. Wei Sheng only took a little more than 4 Cores according to the 20% calculation agreed upon. Chu Jun had already given him 5 Cores fairly, so Wei Sheng naturally had no objections.

"Lord Wei, count the casualties!"

At this moment, a soldier behind Wei Sheng walked over and reported coldly.

Chu Jun felt that this voice was very familiar, so he couldn't help but raise his head to look, and his entire body trembled in an instant.
