Chapter 239

Its elimination was only a matter of time.

At this moment, its body was covered in Skeleton Warriors, dense and packed.

It constantly snatched the Skeleton Warriors off and devoured them, but the very next second, new Skeleton Warriors would fill the gaps.

The Soul-Eater Bug, which had always relied on numbers to win, was now at a disadvantage in terms of quantity.

The Soul-Eater Insect King roared in frustration, opened its massive maw, and a large number of Soul-Eater Bugs flew out.

"Heh!"

Lin Moyu smiled.

Just as the Soul-Eater Bugs flew out, they were met with a round of concentrated fire from the Skeleton Mages.

A large swath of Soul-Eater Bugs died.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Moyu immediately used Corpse Explosion.

For a moment, the sound of explosions rang out incessantly.

Corpse Explosion dealt massive damage to the Soul-Eater Insect King in an instant.

The Soul-Eater Insect King reacted extremely quickly, immediately sucking all the remaining corpses back in, not daring to release any more Soul-Eater Bugs.

It realized that doing so was just throwing its life away.

Its injuries were rapidly worsening, and the Soul-Eater Insect King was truly afraid.

If this continued, it would be dead within minutes.

It turned to flee, its wings, hidden beneath its skin, instantly spreading open.

"This is what I've been waiting for!"

The Lich General perfectly executed Lin Moyu's command.

The moment the wings appeared, the Skeleton Warriors behind it simultaneously unleashed their skills.

The Mages also instantly focused their fire on the wings.

A bright white light flashed on Lin Moyu's fingers.

Bone Fangs were fired off in rapid succession.

The wings were riddled with holes and snapped off upon impact.

The Soul-Eater Insect King, which had just taken flight, immediately crashed down amidst a shrill scream.

It fell to the ground, and more Skeleton Warriors swarmed up to hack at it with their blades.

Thinking of escaping? Not a chance.

Under the frenzied siege, its second form was dispelled.

It returned to its original insect-like appearance.

Its 36 giant legs swept about, and the barbs on its body flared out one after another.

The immense impact force made it impossible for the Skeleton Warriors to get close.

Yet, no matter how hard it tried, it could not break through the encirclement of the Skeleton Warriors.

It was even less capable of resisting the relentless attacks from the Skeleton Mages.

No matter how strong its vitality was, it had reached the end of the road.

It let out another scream, the sound incredibly shrill and mournful.

The hills exploded in unison, rumbling loudly.

The ground shook violently, and countless cracks appeared on the surface, causing the Skeleton Warriors to fall in one after another.

The Lich General reacted quickly, immediately recalling the fallen Skeleton Warriors.

A large crack also appeared beneath Lin Moyu's feet, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged it, otherwise, he would have fallen in too.

The Skeleton Mages could no longer maintain their attacks, swaying unsteadily.

Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and the Lich General quickly recalled all the skeletons.

Lin Moyu also recalled the Lich General.

"Is this its skill?"

Lin Moyu didn't understand.

Just after recalling the skeletons, the ground completely collapsed.

The entire area caved in, and Lin Moyu fell down along with it.

While falling, Lin Moyu stepped on a large rock, showing no signs of panic.

In the instant the ground collapsed, he saw a massive number of Soul-Eater Bugs.

He immediately understood that the area beneath these hills had long been hollowed out.

The Soul-Eater Insect King had simply ordered the Soul-Eater Bugs to completely undermine the ground.

The rumbling continued, and the hills kept collapsing.

One after another, the collapse spread rapidly.

The Ancient Battlefield was shaking because of this.

People in the distance also felt the tremors.

A human profession team was moving away; they had previously heard the Soul-Eater Insect King's cries and had started running into the distance.

They sensed the tremors in the earth.

"Why is there an earthquake?"

"Did you all hear that sound?"

"I think I heard the cry of a Soul-Eater Insect King, not the normal kind of cry, but more like a scream."

"Could someone be raiding the Soul-Eater Insect King? No one has gone to fight this BOSS for many years now."

"If they can really take it down, the soul crystal is a good item."

"Not just that, there's also the Soul-Eating Ring. Although it doesn't compare to BOSS jewelry, it can still be considered top-tier Platinum-grade jewelry."

"The items are good, but it's just too hard to kill!"

As the hills continued to collapse, the tremors grew stronger, and the affected area became larger and larger.

Lin Moyu had already landed, and before him lay a scene of ruins.

The Soul-Eater Insect King had fallen down with him, its massive body slamming heavily onto the ground.

It could originally fly, but unfortunately, its wings had been severed, and it had lost its ability to fly.

A large number of Soul-Eater Bugs rushed in from all directions, merging into its body to help it recover its injuries.

How could Lin Moyu possibly allow it to heal in peace?

Skill: Damage Curse!

Skill: Bone Fangs!

Both skills were unleashed in succession; the Soul-Eater Bugs were afflicted by the Curse, and the Bone Fangs followed, carrying a pale white light.

A large number of Soul-Eater Bugs were killed.

Immediately following that was Corpse Explosion!

The Soul-Eater Insect King was hit by the explosion again, and the injuries it had just started to recover worsened once more.

It let out a strange scream, not daring to let any more Soul-Eater Bugs near it.

The more Soul-Eater Bugs that came, the faster it would die.

It turned around and fled rapidly, screaming all the while.

— Please offer flowers —

"It actually fled!"

Seeing this, Lin Moyu pursued without hesitation.

The Soul-Eater Insect King's agility was too high; its speed far exceeded Lin Moyu's, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to get away.

Skill: Slow Curse!

A crimson light flashed, and the Soul-Eater Insect King immediately slowed down.

The range of the Slow Curse was as high as 6 kilometers, so it never managed to dodge it.

Having been hit by the Slow Curse, the Soul-Eater Insect King's speed was far inferior to Lin Moyu's.

No matter how hard it tried, it couldn't run fast.

As the distance between them closed, the Soul-Eater Insect King screamed incessantly.

One cry after another, as shrill and mournful as could be.

This was the first time Lin Moyu had ever seen a BOSS that knew how to flee for its life.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't be escaping this time.

The hills had completely collapsed, except for that one massive, hundred-meter-tall hill that still stood firm.

That was the Soul-Eater Insect King's lair, and it hadn't been hollowed out.

At this moment, the Soul-Eater Insect King was fleeing toward its lair.

Lin Moyu got closer and closer as he pursued.

The sense of fear in the Soul-Eater Insect King's cries became even more intense, one after another.

Releasing Skeleton Warriors to intercept it, the Soul-Eater Insect King swept its 36 insect legs in a frenzy, knocking the Skeleton Warriors back.

It ignored everything and continued to run.

Lin Moyu felt something was not quite right.

The Soul-Eater Insect King was fleeing in a single direction, as if there was something there.

…0

From afar, he saw the Soul-Eater Insect King's lair, that hundred-meter-tall hill.

The Soul-Eater Insect King was fleeing exactly toward there.

"There must be something there that can save its life."

"It's impossible to let it escape there."

Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and a Skeleton Warrior immediately picked him up and ran forward with him.

It quickly overtook the Soul-Eater Insect King, blocking its path.

But the Soul-Eater Insect King still ignored everything and rammed straight into him.

The Bone Armor glimmered, Lin Moyu didn't retreat a single step, but the Soul-Eater Insect King was knocked back.

It didn't understand why such a small guy as Lin Moyu could block it.

The Lich General appeared with its Undead Legion.

A dense mass of skeletons surrounded the Soul-Eater Insect King once again.

The Soul-Eater Insect King let out a desperate cry.

It knew that it no longer had any chance to escape.

Its wings had been severed, and it had lost the ability to fly.

It could not use Soul-Eater Bugs to recover its injuries.

Its soul-devouring skill was completely suppressed.

Upon encountering the Undead Legion, it had no power to fight back.

It jumped up with all its might, wanting to make one last effort to leap out of the encirclement.
