I saw a group of foundation-building experts and martial arts disciples from Lingxian Palace who were not insect control masters, rushing into the secret realm one after another.
The insect controllers outside have no choice. They are all here, and they can only believe the words of these foundation building overhauls.
However, resisting the ghost fish is not as simple as imagined.
At this moment, the secret realm is very strange, and there are only about 2,000 insect controllers left, controlling about 20,000 spiritual insects. It seems like a lot, but the ghost fish schools are not vegetarians either.
I saw that each ghost fish was like a sharp knife, stabbing into the insect pile.
Some of them, as soon as they rushed out, were intercepted and killed by various spiritual insects on the way. The fish bones rushed over and the meat was gone.
Some of them were of a slightly higher grade, piercing all the way and biting through dozens of spiritual insects with their sharp teeth, only to be besieged to death by a large number of spiritual insects.
There are also some, such as the first-order high-grade ghost fish, which are like steel knives that can even cut into pieces nearly a hundred spiritual insects when inserted all the way.
For example, on Zhang Liang's side, several first-order high-grade ghost fish pierced through at the same time, trying to cross the sea of insects. They almost did it. Just when they were about to rush out of the sea of insects, a thousand first-level high-grade spiritual blood ants swarmed up, and their sharp teeth swept away, and only the bones of the first-level high-grade saury fish were left.
Zhang Liang put away the fish bones while observing the situation of others.
I saw a commotion about five hundred meters away from him. Zhang Liang saw a sizable ghost fish suddenly burst through the barrier of the sea of insects, and like lightning, it directly penetrated into a person's body.
Following a scream, several insect masters around them quickly controlled the spirit insects, surrounded the man, and even directly penetrated into the man's body to fight the ghost fish.
After a while, the man turned into a white skeleton, and the ghost fish in his body also turned into a fish bone.
Such situations are not rare.
It would appear once in a while, and even half a stick of incense later, a second-order ghost fish would appear near them.
The second-order ghost fish cannot compare to the first-order high-grade ghost fish in terms of body, speed, or bite force.
Zhang Liang saw this ghost fish crossing the sea of insects with his own eyes, then quickly passed the neck of an insect master, and at that moment, he bit hard.
In just this moment, a large piece of flesh and blood on the insect master's neck was torn apart. At that moment, the man was at a loss, knowing that there was no flesh in front of his neck and he could not hold back the blood.
But the desire to survive made him cover the wound with both hands. Everyone saw large swaths of blood mist emerging from the person's fingertips.
He couldn't speak, and could only look at the other insect masters around him in horror, as if he was waiting for someone to save him. However, this was destined to be fruitless. In this state of confusion and helplessness, this person lost consciousness and died on the spot.
The second-order ghost fish that broke through the sea of insects did not rush towards the secret realm, but tried to break into the crowd.
However, the moment he rushed over, many people had already hurriedly placed spiritual insects around them, some even prepared formations, some posted spiritual talismans, and some picked up spiritual swords.
I saw that the scene was chaotic for a while, and even the swords and talismans were unable to catch up. The talisman was bitten by the ghost fish, and in the blink of an eye, another person died.
This ghost fish came straight towards Zhang Liang and the others, and had already killed four insect masters along the way.
Fu Lan was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated to Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang cursed secretly, thinking Fu Lan, where is your trump card?
However, Fu Lan summoned a batch of small white swords, and then looked at Zhang Liang, as if he wanted Zhang Liang to help him.
In this situation, Zhang Liang had no choice but to push Fu Lan away.
I saw that at the moment when the ghost fish burst out, Zhang Liang raised his hand and seven or eight green snake nets immediately covered the ghost fish.
The ghost fish seemed to want to avoid it, but its desire was sudden, so he bumped into it all at once. However, the green snake net laid by Zhang Liang is also being damaged.
However, Fu Lan's planned attack had already been launched, and dozens of white sword shadows instantly sank into the body of the ghost fish. The latter also tried to resist and cut open the fishing net, but the range of movement and struggle was greatly reduced. Then, more than two thousand spirit-blooded ants swarmed up quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen second-order spirit-blooded ants had penetrated into the ghost fish's belly and gills.
After some thinking, the second-order ghost fish finally stopped moving.
Many people saw this scene from a distance and couldn't help but sigh. The second-order spiritual blood ants were really powerful. Otherwise, the second-order ghost fish would probably have to kill several people before it could be killed.
The ferocious beast was a ferocious beast after all. After forcing its way through the sea of insects and killing several people one after another, it suffered some counterattacks, so Zhang Liang had a chance.
It wasn't until the second-level ghost fish was killed that Luo Sanpang arrived slowly. He gestured to the two of them with his eyes, as if to say: "Brother Zhang, Miss Fu, are you okay?"
Zhang Liang was too lazy to pay attention to him.
At this moment, around Zhang Liang, many insect masters had already mobilized some spiritual insects to surround themselves.
There is no way, the impact of these ghost fish is too strong, as long as it is not blocked at the beginning, once they cross the insect sea, the result will be quite dangerous. upai.
Especially for those who encounter a school of ghost fish, the entire school of fish attacks together. Even if most of the insect controllers present can distract the control of the spiritual insects, once there are too many ghost fish attacking at the same time, they are really too late and can only Relying on the spontaneous attacks of spiritual insects.
In just one hour, at least 200 people were bitten to death by the ghost fish because of unskilled defensive tactics.
That's it, it's still a situation where everyone has some trump cards.
Of course, a lot of insect masters died, but ghost fish died even more. The Sea of Tens of Thousands of Insects is no joke. Almost as long as a living creature swims through it, it will turn into bones.
An hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
Zhang Liang's World Divine Mirror has been trembling slightly, which shows that the danger is far from over.
In particular, within three hours, nearly 500 insect masters had fallen.
This is something that can't be helped. It's not that everyone is not strong, but that in the face of this endless impact, someone will always make a mistake, or directly encounter a powerful ghost fish.
As the number of insect masters declined, the number of ghost fish did not seem to decrease much.
Outside the secret realm.
When everyone had been fighting fiercely for six hours, many people were actually mentally exhausted, because this kind of battle required them to be highly tense every minute. Moreover, controlling spiritual insects consumes some mental energy.
In this case, mistakes are frequent.
Therefore, at this point, there are only less than 1,200 insect masters left in the venue.
It seems that there are only six hours left before the so-called one-day appointment for foundation construction overhaul, but in fact, only those who resist here know that they are already somewhat unstoppable.
Even Zhang Liang is a little tired at the moment.
At this moment, the World Divine Mirror suddenly shook. Zhang Liang suddenly opened his eyes wide and became wary of all directions.
"Woo...ho...ah..."
Some strange and chaotic sounds suddenly came from the entrance to the secret realm behind everyone.
The sound traveled very far under the sea and was somewhat sharp. Everyone thought that some kind of war broke out in the secret realm, but the details of the secret realm could not be seen from the outside world.
However, just when the strange sound lasted for less than a hundred breaths, outside the secret realm, the number of ghost fish seemed to suddenly increase.
At that moment, Zhang Liang keenly discovered that the number of attacking ghost fish suddenly increased and became more and more numerous.
An hour later, hundreds of thousands of ghost fish around them seemed to have made an appointment and immediately launched a full-scale attack on the insect masters.
"Puff puff puff~"
"Kakaka!"
The sounds of impact and tearing were continuous and endless.
At this moment, sword energy, spiritual talismans, formations, and killing techniques were all dancing in the sky, and many insect masters had already started fighting fiercely.
Zhang Liang's expression changed. In just seven hours, he had lost more than 10,000 spiritual insects. Let's not talk about whether it can withstand it, just the consumption of these spiritual insects is extremely terrifying.
This means that in just a few hours, at least tens of millions of spiritual insects were killed here.
At this moment, a large number of other creatures that are not ghost fish have also been attracted, such as a large number of red crabs, which are quickly marching here. These creatures seemed to be attracted by the smell of spiritual insects here, and came to attack the sea of insects.
"ah!"
Someone could no longer control the spiritual insects, and his defense was penetrated by multiple ghost fish, which were hanging on his body and biting him.
Someone's protective formation shattered suddenly, and a ghost fish bit directly through his stomach and dug in.
Zhang Liang's body was surrounded by dozens of second-order spiritual insects and two thousand spiritual blood ants. At this moment, they were also reduced by 20%.
"Gululu~"
Just when Zhang Liang was thinking about what to do, he saw Fu Lan and Luo Sanpang rushing over, pointing to the other side of the insect sea.
Zhang Liang perceived that scene through the spirit insect's perspective, and at that moment, his expression finally changed suddenly. There were hundreds of thousands of ghost fish, densely packed, rushing towards them in groups.
The three of them looked at each other, their faces suddenly full of confusion, what are you doing? Why are there so many ghost fish?
"Run~"
Luo Sanpang took the lead and shouted loudly at the bottom of the sea, put away the spiritual blood ants that were protecting him, then stopped caring about the other spiritual insects and quickly turned around and ran away.
Zhang Liang was also moved. There was something wrong with the sound in the secret realm. It seemed to be summoning a school of ghost fish, which was very violent. He quickly put away the second-order spiritual insects and spiritual blood ants around him, turned around and ran towards the secret realm.
Are you kidding me? Hundreds of thousands of ghost fish charge together. Unless more than a thousand insect control masters gather the spiritual insects together and jointly resist, it will be possible.
However, now that the insect masters are scattered around the secret potholes, they can only form a thin sea of insects. How can they withstand such an impact?
Therefore, the hundreds of insect masters near Zhang Liang and the others all made the same decision at almost the same moment. Give up resistance and go to the secret realm. Only in this way can you keep a glimmer of hope.
As for the spiritual insects that have been laid out, naturally we don’t care about them, we can resist them as much as we can! There's nothing you can do if you can't resist them.
Zhang Liang and the others reacted very quickly and rushed into the secret realm in the first wave. Who cares about the mission at this time?
Some of the other insect masters immediately gave up their defense and rushed towards the secret realm. But some of them hesitated briefly because the ghost fish school did not appear in the direction of their defense. They speculated that these ghost fish would rush directly into the secret realm.
However, to their surprise, these ghost fish crossed the sea of insects in just a few dozen breaths, and then did not enter the secret realm. Instead, they rushed towards other insect masters madly.
At this moment, all the insect masters panicked.
In an instant, all the insect masters gave up their defenses and rushed towards the secret realm with all their might.
Hundreds of thousands of ghost fish have entered the siege, and their spiritual insects are still resisting the ghost fish and other beasts of the immortal sea that are attacking from outside, so that they can only rely on a few of the strongest spiritual insects to protect themselves.
But facing so many ghost fish, their protective spirit insects were completely insufficient.
Therefore, those insect control masters who hesitated just now and lost the opportunity rushed towards the secret realm like crazy.
At the same time, everyone was shocked, where was this mission for them? This is obviously asking them to die.
Many people were filled with anger because Yao Zhen had promised that the probability of death during the last exploration of the secret realm was about 30%.
Looking at it now, is this only 30%? If they don't run away now, none of them will survive, and ninety-nine percent of them will die here.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Under the water, there was a mysterious pothole. Zhang Liang and others were leading the way. When they passed through the dark curtain, they were shocked to find that they seemed to have broken through some kind of barrier, and the scene in front of them suddenly changed.
A large number of shimmering fluorescent deep-sea seaweed debris can be seen with the naked eye, which are the debris of the sea ghost algae. It is obvious that there has been a fierce battle here, and a large number of sea ghost algae were killed here.
Apart from these debris, the surroundings were very dark, and the turbid silt stirred up by the battle had not completely settled. They could vaguely feel that this was a very large place, at least they had not yet seen the bottom of the sea.
However, the turbid sand is nothing to the insect controller. The moment they entered the secret realm, they immediately activated the spiritual insects and spread out to investigate.
Zhang Liang saw the abnormal scene on the bottom of the sea from the perception of the second-order jade cockroach and the spiritual blood ant. There were a large number of squirming residual seaweed leaves there, squirming like worms at the moment, and some were even burrowing into the sand.
"Is this still seaweed?"
Zhang Liang's head was stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly heard someone's painful cry coming from the sea. When he followed the sound and looked around, he saw that the man was entangled in a large seaweed leaf. The seaweed clung to his body like tarsal maggots. Even though it had been shattered by his spiritual energy, the fine seaweed leaves were still trying to get into his body.
This person was quite courageous. He immediately let the spiritual insects bite the algae leaves all over his body. Although it would tear off a lot of flesh and blood all over his body, at least he could save his life.
As soon as everyone entered the secret realm, they saw this man being injured. They learned from the past and naturally became alert.
At that moment, everyone unanimously put amulets on themselves, and at the same time, summoned a large number of spiritual insects to devour all the seaweed leaves that appeared around them. No matter whether they were aggressive or not, they had to be eaten clean first.
Because they were worried that there would be ghost fish chasing after them quickly, everyone moved faster. When they confirmed that the most direct source of danger was the fragments of sea ghost algae, they quickly thought of countermeasures and quickly landed on the seabed. .
Everyone had a moment of leisure at this moment, and when they glanced around, they saw that the number of insect masters rushing down in the first wave was less than two hundred. Someone immediately made a gesture to let everyone go together.
Zhang Liang's face didn't look good. Entering the secret realm, the danger warning from the Divine World Mirror did not weaken at all, but quickly intensified. Especially when Zhang Liang is approaching the seabed, this reminder becomes stronger.
"Papa~"
Seeing Zhang Liang suddenly stop, Fu Lan quickly came to his side, patted him twice, expressed confusion, and seemed to ask: "Why did you stop?"
Luo Sanpang also stayed next to Zhang Liang. Besides Luo Sanpang, there were also a few people who did not land directly on the sea bed. No one was stupid, and suddenly someone reacted strangely, which was enough to put them on alert.
"咻咻咻~"
At this moment, suddenly, seven or eight people in succession were standing on the seabed. But the next moment, their whole people suddenly seemed to be entangled by some force. There seemed to be a hollow under their feet, and their whole people were suddenly pulled. Go down.
Seeing this scene, all the insect masters who were still on the sea bed quickly stood up.
However, there were dozens of people, just because their reaction was a little slower. As soon as they were two or three meters in the air, their feet were entangled by some kind of roots that suddenly stretched out from under the sea bed. The next moment, that person seemed to Those who had no resistance at all were dragged directly into the ground.
"Gudu!"
Everyone, including Zhang Liang, felt numb at the sight. The next moment, everyone quickly released the control spirit insects and burrowed underground not to kill the enemy, but to detect the danger.
Sure enough, the next moment, everyone discovered that there were many potholes under the sea bed.
You can't stay on the seabed, and you can't walk, so you have to find another way out. I saw countless spiritual insects swarming in all directions. But the terrain here is not small, and it will take some time to explore and understand it.
Just after everyone was in a stalemate here for dozens of breaths.
Suddenly, hundreds of people rushed behind them, and then many insect masters rushed into the secret realm like dumplings.
The people who rushed in were very panicked. They greeted Zhang Liang and others who were already here, and then pointed behind them, which probably meant that the ghost fish were coming.
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed. Upon seeing this, a male cultivator actually sacrificed a spiritual shrimp that Zhang Liang was particularly familiar with, which was the chasing shrimp.
I saw that the Spirit Chasing Shrimp quickly pointed out the direction, and the man immediately followed the Spirit Chasing Shrimp at full speed.
Seeing that the man moved, Zhang Liang immediately followed him.
The Spirit Chasing Shrimp is specially used to chase people. Most of the people they are chasing are Foundation Establishment Masters or disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace who came in before.
If we can rendezvous with a large army and have a foundation-building overhaul, it may really be easier to save our lives.
Otherwise, it would be much more dangerous for them to find a new route in this ancient secret realm.
Seeing someone leading the way, everyone seemed to be motivated and immediately followed them. Of course, they were accompanied by a large number of spiritual insects.
After the seabed incident just now, no one dares to be careless. It is important to know that every plant and tree here, even the soil, may have problems.
Fortunately, with the help of the Spirit Chasing Shrimp, everyone quickly followed what looked like a deep sea tunnel. Along the way, there are a lot of traces of battles, rubble has rolled down in many places, and broken algae leaves remain everywhere. It is obvious that someone has cleared this place. These algae leaves certainly did not pose a threat. Spiritual insects were probing the way and ate them when they encountered them.
Therefore, this journey can be considered very smooth.
In addition to the algae leaves, everyone saw many ancient corpses along the way. The corpses were as shriveled as mummies, their bodies were broken and scattered everywhere.
Along the way, Zhang Liang's face was serious, because the path chosen by the foundation-building overhaul seemed to be very dangerous! The danger warning of the World Divine Mirror is still strengthening.
At this time, Fu Lan swam over, let out a big mouthful of turbid air, and then took out a ball from the storage bag. These are bubble beads specially designed for long-term sea diving. If you take one, you don’t need to go to sea to take a breath, and you can stay at the bottom of the sea for an hour.
Fu Lan pointed at the bubble beads, then looked at Zhang Liang with doubtful eyes, as if asking: "Don't you use bubble beads?"
Zhang Liang stared blankly at Fu Lan, thinking, when will you still have time to care about this?
I saw Zhang Liang grab a handful of bubble beads from the storage bag, then looked at Fu Lan and waved his hand, indicating that I had eaten.
Luo Sanpang was not far away and his eyelids were twitching. He thought to himself, do you two think this is a trip? What are you talking about?
Everyone hesitated for a moment, and then people from behind started to use the secret method of water escape, catching up with everyone, making their team of insect masters more and more numerous, and now they have 800 people.
"Here comes the back."
Some of the newcomers took a deep breath and shouted, making everyone's hearts tremble.
What's coming?
Of course the ghost fish is here.
Everyone couldn't help but feel numb, why wasn't it over yet? Where did so many ghost fish come from?
However, now that the ghost fish are here, they can't do nothing. There are nearly 800 people here, which is quite a lot.
Just listen, someone shouted: "Each person releases a thousand spiritual insects every one kilometer."
After the person shouted, he immediately ate a bubble bead. He didn't say it several times because he didn't know how long the road was. Therefore, when everyone agrees not to release spiritual insects, this post-breaking move will be considered over.
In this long and narrow seabed channel, eight hundred thousand spiritual insects per wave are indeed very crowded. If there are not too many ghost fish chasing after them, they should be able to block them.
However, once the number of ghost fish chasing exceeds 100,000, it will be difficult to stop them. If it were just a wave of spiritual insects, it would definitely be unstoppable.
Therefore, this person’s method proposal is indeed good.
At this moment, no one is too precious, so taking out the spirit worms is equivalent to saving one's life. Those insect masters who have not been able to catch up so far have no hope, so these 800 people are the only insect masters left in Mishima.
After traveling for more than ten miles, Zhang Liang and the others only cast in five spiritual insects in total. By the sixth time, some people stopped casting one after another, and by the seventh time no one stopped casting.
After all, they all want to keep the spiritual insects to save their lives.
Before everyone could rush out of the long tunnel, they felt the rippling sea water and the aftermath of the battle ahead.
At that moment, everyone was happy. Although they were about to face another battle, at least it was a battle led by Foundation Establishment Overhaul and thousands of Lingxian Palace disciples who were good at fighting. The situation was better than if they just resisted without seeing any hope. Much more.
At this moment, Zhang Liang's swimming speed slowed down rapidly. This time he no longer needed the World Mirror. An inexplicable sense of crisis came over him.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Even if Zhang Liang's speed slowed down, the moment he rushed out of the undersea tunnel, he was not much slower than others, he just stood behind them.
"Hiss~"
"Gululu~"
When these insect masters rushed out, almost all of them were stunned. Everyone was dumbfounded because they had never seen such a big... tree on the bottom of the sea?
It was a giant tree that was three hundred meters high and nearly twice as wide as its height. But what grows on the branches of this tree is seaweed. There are also some branches with corpses hanging on them, numbering more than a thousand.
Some of them have become mummified corpses. I don’t know how long ago they were. There are also some who are obviously disciples of Lingxian Palace who have just hung up.
At this moment, the six major foundation building overhauls were fighting fiercely around this tree.
Yes, everyone read it correctly. The six major foundation building overhauls are fighting fiercely with the tree's body. The algae leaves are flying and the broad leaves are sweeping across, like dense blades.
As for those Lingxian Palace disciples, there were obviously thousands of people who came in, but now there were only about 600 left.
The targets of their battle were the mummies hanging on the trees.
In addition to fighting, Zhang Liang saw a tree hole in the upper trunk of the big tree, and an ancient corpse was sitting in the hole. In front of the ancient corpse's knees lay a dark long sword.
