Chapter 378: The Gale Wind Island Attacked Out of the Blue
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the beginning, the feedback of intention from the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects were extremely violent. It had even wanted to use the opportunity when Dick was communicating with it to attack Dick’s soul, but Dick was already prepared. The queen worm’s attack missed. Although he had said “surrender or die”, Dick did not plan to hold back against the enemy, nor did he secretly inform others. He still forced the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects into a desperate situation.
Gradually, the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects became weaker, and the combat condition of Dick and the others, who were attacking it, became worse. If they continued to be in a stalemate with this queen worm, the good opportunity to occupy the mine would be delayed, and they were continually getting drained…
Dick was a little disappointed. If he could not subdue it, he would have to kill it…
Just as he was thinking about whether he should just kill it, the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects suddenly wavered! “Eh? There’s hope!” Dick was slightly happy and he persuaded the queen worm again to surrender.
The slight waver earlier was not an illusion. The resistance of the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects had weakened, and it seemed to be a little hesitant. Dick tried to persuade the enemy to surrender as he calculated the losses of his side. He wondered if the other party was stalling for time to find an opportunity to escape or counterattack, or if it really had the intention to surrender. The two sides continued to fight…
Just when Dick felt that the possibility of subduing the queen worm was becoming increasingly higher, his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly looked up to the left, his eyes filled with surprise!
“Hiss!” At the same time, the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects let out a sharp cry filled with fear. All the magical power in its body exploded, and the insect body, which had been tightly entangled by the nine-headed golden python earlier, suddenly started to crack, as if it was using its final trump card to flee for its life. “Clang!” Just as the queen worm was splitting up, a sonorous sword cry suddenly sounded from top to bottom. Before the group of Great Archmagi could react, they watched helplessly as the blue-black sword light broke through the soil and stones and struck the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects!
It was a top-grade sacred weapon!! The person using this sword was at least a level-4 Divine Mage!! The flying sword’s attack had come suddenly, catching everyone off guard. The queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects had used its ultimate means of escape, but it had already been exhausted to the point of weakness. It simply could not be faster than the secretly poised attack!
The queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects had only split in half, and its huge insect body was sliced into pieces by the blue-black sword aura! Such brutal slicing was naturally different from the automatic splitting of the queen worm. The life force of the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects was instantly severed! The sudden appearance of a third party on the battlefield shocked and confused everyone. The group of Great Archmagi looked up, and two of them had exceptionally strange expressions. One was Zoro, who was frowning, and the other was Dick, who had a dark expression.
What the hell was going on? Did they intend to grab the benefits after having watched from the sidelines?! Soon, a group of people landed in this empty underground space. There were more than ten of them, and their levels were all above the Great Archmage realm. The silver-haired old man at the front of the group was a Divine Mage!
When Harris saw the old man in the lead, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately sent a secret voice transmission, “I have seen the person in the lead before. He is one of the elders of the Gale Wind Island, a level-5 Divine Mage, Senior Feng Da!”
A Divine Mage from the Gale Wind Island! Upon hearing this, the hearts of the clansmen and retainers of the Nicholas family clan turned slightly cold. This Gale Wind Island was not only one of the four large factions of the Sebastian Kingdom, but it also had an old feud with the Nicholas family! Ten years ago, after the mystic realm of the Red Rose Sea had been shattered, when Dick and the others had just escaped from the encirclement of nearly a hundred Great Archmagi, they were instantly targeted by the Venerable Wind Punisher from the Gale Wind Island, who said, “Hand over the treasures or die.” Later on, Venerable Wind Punisher was killed by Corsia from the Divine Mountain Immortal Island, and she even said, “I’ll kill and you die.”
Although this Divine Mage from the Gale Wind Island had not died directly under the hands of the Nicholas family, he had died indirectly. It was obvious without thinking that these two factions would not get along well. In the past ten years, with the exception of the Gale Wind Island, the Nicholas family had come into contact with the rest of the four large factions of the Sebastian Kingdom. Now that the people from the Gale Wind Island had appeared in the middle of the Magic Stone Mine at the nest of the Demonic Devouring Insects, it was impossible that they were just passing by!
After Feng Da and the others had broken through the soil and stones, they landed directly above the nest of the Demonic Devouring Insects, higher than where the Nicholas family were at. Among the dozen or so people, some sized up the people below, and some could not help but be happy and excited when they saw the Magic Stone Mine. Zoro’s expression was solemn as he took the initiative to say, “Thank you all for your help.”
Everyone on the Gale Wind Island looked at him. Feng Da, who was at the front, smiled and said, “You’re welcome. Our Gale Wind Island has always wanted to exterminate the Demonic Devouring Insects. We didn’t expect you to help us today. We should be the ones to take the initiative to thank you.” When these words came out, the two sides were immediately confrontational.
The expressions of the Nicholas family members were ugly. Zoro frowned and asked, “Senior Feng Da, what are you trying to say?”
Feng Da said calmly, “The Gale Wind Island had long discovered this Magic Stone Mine, but we did not have the time to mine it. We are very surprised that all of you from the Nicholas family could find this place today. However, this place… belongs to our Gale Wind Island.”
Zoro frowned deeply, and the veins on his forehead twitched ferociously. The group of Great Archmagi behind him stared angrily at the person above them and almost cursed out loud. “This bastard is too shameless!!”
No one was blind. This person had come from the Gale Wind Island and would return to it. He clearly wanted to snatch this Magic Stone Mine! It was one thing to snatch it, but he had intentionally come to snatch it from them at the last minute! “Damn, he is so disgusting!”
“Has the Gale Wind Island already explored this place? When I came down with our team, there were no other traces except for the traces of the Demonic Devouring Insects!” Zoro pulled a long face. “Senior Feng Da, are you kidding us?”
“Since you insist on probing, I’ll be direct.” A cold light rose in Feng Da’s eyes as he said coldly, “This Magic Stone Mine already belongs to the Gale Wind Island. Everyone from the Nicholas family… please go back.”
“Damn! What the hell?!”
“We were clearly the first to find this mine!”
“We have been searching this area for months, but we have not seen anyone from the Gale Wind Island!”
“How shameless. He’s lying through his teeth… This is too disgusting!”
“We have worked so hard to eliminate the Demonic Devouring Insects, why should we give up this Magic Stone Mine?!”
“This is too much! This is too much!!”
Everyone had put in so much effort and waited till the fruits were finally ripe. In the end, someone who had just appeared wanted to snatch away the fruits of their labor. Who could tolerate this? Even though the person who had spoken was a Divine Mage, those with a bad temper could not suppress the anger in their heart… and kept shouting. Even so, there was a world of difference between the Divine Mage realm and the Great Archmage realm. Therefore, when Feng Da swept his cold gaze around, the noisy crowd below instantly fell silent like ducks whose throats had been grabbed.
A Great Archmage could not resist against the pressure of a Divine Mage. Being stared at coldly by Zoro, Feng Da did not care. He made his decision calmly. “Those who had helped the Gale Wind Island destroy the nest of the Demonic Devouring Insects, my Gale Wind Island will naturally send you good gifts. Please go back.” This time, not only did he emphasize the words ‘go back’, there was also a hint of an icy threat!
