Devouring Yuan Flying Ants / The Bug Witch's Rebellion

Lu Jun's expression turned solemn. He immediately opened the door and saw a huge, dark cloud covering the sky above the town, accompanied by a loud, buzzing sound that filled his ears.

"This is... Bug Tide!"

His gaze flickered, and he finally saw clearly what the thick, dark clouds in the distance were—they were countless, almost imperceptible, poisonous insects Demon Beast, forming an endless storm that devoured everything.

This was just the first wave; following closely behind, a multitude of brightly colored, multicolored 'clouds' surged wildly into the city. The types of Bug Gu were incredibly diverse, including bees, mantises, and tiny, imperceptible beings.

At first glance, it seemed far away, but in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of us, covering everything like a fog, permeating the dense buildings of the city and blurring the view.

"Hold your breath!"

Lu Jun immediately sensed something was wrong and hurriedly told the maid to pull him along. He then drew Star Track in his mind, intending to cast the fifth-level Water Shield and the high-level Water Glory Sky Curtain on the two of them, when suddenly he froze. His Water Element was sealed.

"Damn it," he cursed under his breath, immediately switching to Space Element magic. With a thought, silver ripples spread across the space, shimmering with light, and a distorted force field condensed, completely enveloping the two of them.

Mind Control - The Mind Force Field!

Snap, snap, snap...

The misty Bug Tide in the air was kept out, while the normal- Size Change poisonous insects continued to rush forward, frantically crashing into the surface of the Silver Light, only to be crushed to dust by the spatial vibrations.

Soon, the oval beam of light around Lu Jun was covered with a layer of dark black and bright red insect corpses. The floor of the wooden house was also covered with a dense pile of insects, like a thick layer of black mud, leaving no room to step, accompanied by a foul stench.

Upon witnessing this disgusting scene, his face turned pale, and the maid nearly vomited.

Lu Jun has some knowledge of insects, and is almost a standard member of the Poison Element. In the original work, even the Super Rank Mo Fan, Bug Witch in South America, was troubled by him. Mu Bai's Poison Element were unparalleled, and he raised a Dragon Blood Insect Lord.

Many poisonous insects possess bizarre and varied abilities, much like an alternative Summoning System. Without comprehensive defense, even gas filtering, one cannot be truly safe, making them virtually impossible to defend against.

He erected Space Force Field while looking around at the endless Bug Tide.

A series of screams filled the air. Lu Jun witnessed one living human after another being swarmed by the colorful Bug Tide. After they left, the places they had been in were empty, their flesh and bones completely devoured.

Furthermore, all kinds of magic, whether fire or ice, only work on certain poisonous insects. Before the magicians could rejoice, a large number of specially designed fire-resistant and cold-resistant Bug Gu attacked.

In this situation, Lu Jun was actually glad that the Space Element was so versatile, effectively keeping all the attackers at bay.

Unfortunately, his good fortune didn't last long. Before he could speak, his expression suddenly changed. He looked towards the edge of the town and saw a small, gray, Bug Tide silently sweeping across the city, collapsing and devouring buildings one by one, leaving nothing but empty land in their wake.

The Maid Xiao La, asked in a panic, "Lord Lu Jun, what should we do now?"

"This is terrifying; it must be an invasion of Demon Beast from the Amazon."

Lu Jun gasped, his heart filled with anxiety; he hadn't yet found a way back.

Chapter 330 Devouring Yuan Flying Ant

Buzz buzz buzz!

The gray Bug Tide devoured everything, engulfing all in its vastness. After entering the city, it split into small clusters and scattered in all directions.

A small patch of gray cloud drifted towards Lu Jun's area.

Many highly skilled Inca magicians stepped forward to try and stop the gray worms from wreaking havoc.

Sky Flame Funeral!

There was a high-level Fire Element mage with crimson eyes, whose body was engulfed in soaring green flames. The sky was filled with a dark, poisonous cloud-like green, and the thick sea of fire gathered to form a rosy spectacle of poisonous mist burning the sky.

Immediately afterwards, large swaths of flame, like a funeral procession of meteors streaking across the sky, fell densely and obliquely. Each drop of flame was equivalent to a nascent Fire Seed, and it was like a waterfall washing over that small patch of 'gray cloud'.

Just when everyone thought they could easily burn it to death, a horrifying scene unfolded: the vast, eerie green sea of fire, bordering a massive cloud of poisonous insects, visibly shrank instantly, and was devoured by the gray insects in the blink of an eye.

It can even devour magic!! And High-level Magic at that!!

Not a single spark remained in the void. If it weren't for the lingering high temperature, many other poisonous insects would have been caught in the blast and died, spontaneously combusting into ashes and falling to the ground. One would have thought no magic had been cast.

People cried out in alarm, "Oh no! It's Devouring Yuan Flying Ant, direct descendants of that Amazon Insect Emperor! Don't use ordinary magic; they are essentially creatures that devour magical energy and matter!"

Seeing this, Lu Jun's alarm bells rang. He had originally intended to use his Space Element, but upon hearing this, he had no choice but to give up. With the Killing Intent looming, he remembered the summoning method, gritted his teeth, and decided to try his best at the last minute.

His gaze was fixed on the tiny, dust-like Bug Gu, which were grayish-brown and looked exactly like winged termites.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jun closed his eyes and quickly sketched out the three-dimensional structure of the [Devouring Yuan Flying Ant] in his Spiritual World. The transparent color of the Mind Element Star River and the moon-white light of the Summoning System Star River complemented each other.

In an instant, behind him, a series of moon-white Star Chart formed a gate to heaven made of white jade and black seal script.

Level 1 Beast Tide Summoning!

The next moment, swarms of gray insects, about a hundred in total, poured out of the Gate of Beast Tide; they were none other than the Devouring Yuan Flying Ant.

Lu Jun's face lit up with a slight smile. Because the energy level of the poisonous insects was very low, they could overwhelm the enemy with sheer numbers. A single warrior unit could actually summon a whole nest of Servant-level flying ants. With hundreds of nests joining together, they were overwhelming and quite formidable.

Above his head, a gray cloud of Bug Tide, hundreds of feet in Size Change, surged and rolled endlessly, its bloodthirsty shrieks echoing through the air.

At the same time, Lu Jun's mind was connected with tens of thousands of Devouring Yuan Flying Ant. He discovered that their thinking was simple, all they did was "eat", "eat", "eat", and they were completely obedient to commands, just like his own limbs.

The second stage of the Spirit Carving Method lives up to its name. The image of the Demon Beast is imprinted on the mind and can be immediately fed back to the Gate of Beast Tide. There is no need for painstaking searching and capturing; it will automatically teleport out from that Summoning Plane.

Moreover, it's difficult for normal Summoning System to summon Bug Tide; most require additional training in Poison Element and patient study to master the methods. However, he omitted this prerequisite and could summon any kind of beast horde.

Buzz buzz buzz!

As Lu Jun thought of it, a hundred-foot-long gray cloud surged above his head, transforming into a colossal hand that blotted out the sky. With astonishing force, it grabbed at the swarms of Devouring Yuan Flying Ant in the distance, stirring up a wave of energy.

In mid-air, two gray Bug Tide collided, and the Devouring Yuan Flying Ant on both sides fought fiercely, like a dust rain falling, with insects falling one by one.

The battle quickly came to a conclusion. The Devouring Yuan Flying Ant Beast Tide Summoning resembled a well-trained army, dividing the enemy into sections and gradually encircling and annihilating them.

Seeing this, Lu Jun nodded in satisfaction. Space Element was sufficient for self-defense but insufficient for offense. The Bug Tide was too dense and too small, and most of the magic was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

A professional Poison Element spell would have been much easier to use, but fortunately, he had a rapidly improving Summoning System to deal with the situation temporarily.

He immediately sensed a warning and danger, and quickly scanned his surroundings.

Mind Ripple: Mental Detection!

He controlled the stars, his eyes gleaming with transparent light, and an imperceptible, invisible spiritual ripple spread outwards, precisely detecting each source of danger.

Hidden within the dense Bug Tide of ferocious, human-sized demonic insects were grotesque leaders, each half a person's height. Their bodies were a pale black, with thin, black cicada wings, as if shrouded in shadow. Their hard shells bore the imprint of a distorted, devilish face.

They approach silently, waiting for the opportune moment to strike and annihilate humanity.

"Hiss! Six Shadow Demon Insects, Commander-level venomous Demon Beast insects, best known for their stealthy assassinations."

Lu Jun's heart trembled as he recognized that this kind of Demon Beast often roamed the shadowy areas deep within the Amazon.

The trouble with Bug Gu lies in this: they are tiny and secretive, adept at swarm tactics, and when their population reaches a certain size, they can produce exceptional individuals, making them virtually omnipotent.

Just like now, when endless poisonous insects invade the city and roam every corner, it's impossible for a mage to kill them all.

Some poisonous insects always remain, accumulating and multiplying over time, eventually causing another insect plague. Alternatively, some Great Demon may have specially set up warning insects to secretly monitor humans and activate them to transmit information at crucial moments.

At this moment, Lu Jun's heroic performance was discovered by the swarm's leader, who was about to surround and kill him.

"Hmph! I was just worried that my Mind Element wouldn't have a chance to shine, and here it is, walking right into my doorstep."

Lu Jun snorted coldly, and behind him, transparent Star Chart appeared one after another, intertwining to form a dazzling transparent constellation. The pattern was mysterious, pierced by the vertical pupil in the center of his brain.

Then, eerie Ghost Shadow appeared in his eyes, a silver moon slowly rose between his brows, and a powerful Mental Power surged out, splitting into six, and suddenly burrowed into the depths of the pitch-black Bug Tide that blotted out the sky.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Suddenly, the massive body of the six-headed Heavenly Demon Insect Commander trembled, its compound eyes reflecting Lu Jun's face with a look of horror.

Lu Jun displayed his skills, managing to subdue six commanders in one go. His strength surpassed that of the Ghost Wife of the same rank. Even though the individual combat power of the poisonous insect Demon Beast was weaker than that of most Demon Beast, he was still terrifying.

The Mind Element Soul Control] is useless against the endless swarms of tiny insects, wasting magical energy, but it has a different meaning when used on powerful individuals.

This wasn't the end of it. Veins bulged on Lu Jun's temples, and his Intermediate Mind Element Mind Ripple underwent a transformation, accompanied by a surge of induced emotional fluctuations.

The colorful swarm of Bug Tide within a one-kilometer radius paused slightly, seemingly hesitant about whether to obey the command.

Hiss! The six controlled Shadow Demon Insects spoke at the right moment, their sharp roars forcing the Bug Tide to submit. They didn't have much thought; in the blink of an eye, the brightly colored clouds turned and rushed towards the Bug Tide in other areas, beginning to kill each other.

Led by six Shadow Demon Insects, and flanked by Devouring Yuan Flying Ant, the vast rebel insect army stirred up a local area.

Lu Jun, his body shimmering with silver light, hovered in mid-air, surrounded by a storm of swirling Bug Tide. With each step he took, a large number of insects died, making him appear like a supreme Bug Witch.

Chapter 331 The Bug Witch's Rebellion

Rumble!

In a chaotic Space-Time Town.

Lu Jun's gaze was sharp, one eye pure silver, the other transparent, unleashing both Space Element and Mind Element, while a surging Beast Tide Summoning to assist in the attack, surrounding him like a pair of gray cloud-like insect wings that blotted out the sky.

Boom! A burst of silver light erupted from the void, condensing into a giant hand that slammed into the air with a deafening roar, scattering a large number of black, poisonous insect corpses.

The Space Great Hand Seal spread out, and countless strands of silver light vibrated, stirring up a tidal wave of energy that shattered the thick Bug Tide inch by inch, sweeping outwards and creating a vacuum zone.

But before long, the relentless Bug Tide could not fill the void; they were inexhaustible and could not be eradicated. The sky was filled with colorful insects, and the smells and venom of various Bug Gu permeated the air.

Seeing this, Lu Jun breathed a slight sigh, realizing that he had consumed a lot of the Star River Magic Energy. Even though he had slaughtered many enemies, it was still a drop in the ocean against the Bug Tide.

This is a disaster on par with the future invasion of the Sea Demon Empire. Only high-level experts can turn the tide. This overwhelming Bug Tide is probably just the vanguard, using its flight ability to cross the Andes Mountains to test the waters.

Wherever they went, no one in the cities along the way could stop them.

Roar! Lu Jun's slaughter aroused the dissatisfaction of a monarch, and a roar that shook the heavens and earth resounded, vibrating the eardrums.

He stared in horror at the distant, towering ancient buildings, where a centipede monarch, resembling a dragon, lay prostrate. Its black-gold carapace was hard and indestructible, gleaming with a radiant sheen, and dragon patterns spread across its surface. Its four compound eyes, each a different color, shone brightly.

Overall, it doesn't resemble an ugly, weak insect, but rather a majestic and ferocious black dragon, with a massive and imposing body, hundreds of feet long, coiling around dozens of buildings, exuding arrogance.

"Insect Lord! Where are the elders of the Damn Elder Council? They're letting this supreme creature run rampant in the city!"

Lu Jun inwardly complained, feeling a strong sense of crisis. He quickly drew a spatial constellation, with 343 stars twinkling around him, intertwining to form a constellation. A silver magic circle unfolded beneath his feet, enveloping the maid who had been by his side.

Rumble!

Just as he completed the constellation in two seconds, one of the compound eyes of the domineering insect lord flashed, and a black and red pillar of light pierced through the void.

Just then, Lu Jun Teleportation, leaving only scattered silver dust behind him. As the black and red beam of light passed through, it rose high into the air and then continued to bombard the large buildings behind him with its remaining force.

A terrifying, intense energy surged forth, like a rising sun, leveling buildings within a radius of hundreds of meters, and the small wooden house was also reduced to dust.

The next second, Lu Jun's figure appeared seven or eight hundred meters away, still in shock as he watched everything. Fortunately, he had prepared magic in advance, otherwise he would have been annihilated by this attack, unless he risked the collapse of his three elements to forcibly awaken the Ancient King Armor Robe.

Beside him, the little maid La was almost scared to death. She couldn't even handle a large number of ordinary insect servants, let alone the monarch.

Lu Jun took a deep breath and felt the black dragon-like insect lord's attention firmly locked on him, which made his scalp tingle.

However, he did not regret participating in this matter. Admittedly, using the fourth-level Intermediate Level Mind Invisibility could reduce his own presence in the Bug Tide, thereby preserving his life and allowing him to stand by and watch, but that would undoubtedly be a cowardly act, betraying the kindness of the Inca civilization.

Seeing the black dragon-like centipede insect king reveal a contemptuous expression, intending to eliminate this hopping ant.

Suddenly, terrifying figures soared into the sky from the depths of the Space-Time Town. Elder Mina, the leader, angrily swept his gaze around and roared, "Elders, follow me to kill the enemy!"

The Super Rank mages all mobilized, and Elder Mina stood in front of Lu Jun, confronting the Black Dragon Insect Lord.

His expression was majestic and solemn, his aura vast and imposing. Every move he made unleashed unparalleled destructive power, and he effortlessly wielded various Super Rank spells, causing the Black Dragon Insect Lord to retreat in defeat.

In just a few breaths, the Insect King was severely injured, its body broken in two.

The battle between the monarch and the Super Rank- trained cultivator was too dangerous for Lu Jun to approach, so he grabbed his maid and pulled her far away.

Unfortunately, although the Super Rank mages stepped forward and effectively curbed the rampage of the Bug Tide, as the saying goes, the poisonous insects are tiny and spread everywhere, making them impossible to eradicate completely.

Even the most ordinary extraordinary poison can kill a mage's fragile body.

Seeing countless mages falling every moment, even after personally slaying the Insect King, Mina showed no joy. He roared, "Qazafi, when are you going to the Poison Department?!"

"Haha, old friend, don't be in such a hurry. There are countless poisonous insects; we must be prepared to deal with them."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint voice echoed from the depths of the Elder Council, followed by a mighty Bug Tide into the sky from the encampment, like a vast expanse of vibrant auspicious clouds.

About a dozen black-robed elders rode on a cloud of insects and took to the air. Each of them possessed an aura of being Super Rank, and their cultivation levels varied. The leader was an old man with an arrogant and unruly appearance.

He held a strange musical instrument in both hands, a unique Magic Tool made of bone, which he combined with supernatural Sound Element Supernatural Power to unleash its power.

Waaaaah!

Suddenly, a sound wave, resembling both a flute and a zither, with a slightly mournful tone, spread throughout the entire Space-Time Town. Instantly, the Bug Tide that blotted out the sky paused, and then poured down like a torrential rain.

The thick 'cloud layer' has visibly decreased, and its destructive power is astonishing.

Sound Element Magic System, and Qazafi, having studied poisonous insects for many years, knew that most insects rely on sound wave vibrations to transmit information.

By simply tuning the audio to a lethal frequency, the swarm can be easily driven to self-destruction.
