Chapter 408
408 – Astral Spatial Silkworms
In the meteorite belt around the celestial body, there were countless meteorites of all sizes.
All of a sudden, a meteorite split open, and a silkworm-like astral insect with a pair of transparent insect wings flew out. The insect had no eyes, ears, or nose, it just had sharp, beast-like teeth.
When the strange astral insect flew out, a spatial force enveloped it, and it disappear in an instant.
Suddenly, the space in front of Azal twisted, and the strange astral insect flew out and pounced at Azal’s head in an instant.
The speed of the astral insect was fast to the extreme. Caught off guard, Azal just had time to issue a bellow. He surged with demonic qi, and the muscles of his head tensed up. Even a level-3 secret treasure may not be able to penetrate his head’s defenses.
The astral insect’s mouthpiece whirled wildly and stabbed at Azal’s head. In the blink of an eye it broke through Azal’s defenses and drilled into his skull.
Azal was bleeding from his facial orifices in an instant, and he issued a roar of fear and pain: “Help! Help me!!”
“Astral insect!” Pohana, Cell, Yang Feng, and Tycon were attracted by Azal’s previous howl. When they saw the astral insect pierce Azal’s head, their faces fell.
Without saying a word, Yang Feng blurred into motion, and quickly flew to the star magic vessel. Countless giant strength bees chased after him and flew into the beehive in his hand.
Pohana also rushed towards the star magic vessel without hesitation.
Cell hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth and performed Blink successively, and his figure flashed continuously, flying towards Azal.
Crack! Crack! The sound of meteorites shattering echoed, and silkworm-like astral insects flew out, and then disappeared.
The space next to Cell twisted, and a large number of astral insects flew out, shooting towards him.
Cell’s countenance changed dramatically, then he roared, his muscles tensed up, and he suddenly erupted with quasi-demon monarch rank fluctuations of power. His claws shot out and swept towards the astral insects in a storm of after images.
Cell’s claws, who was a ghost demon expert, were extremely sharp. Even Starry Sky Warlock rank experts would have their flesh lacerated and bones broken when struck by them.
Even human Starry Sky Warlock rank experts wouldn’t be willing to fight at close quarters with a ghost demon expert like Cell. Otherwise, once Cell got close, there was a possibility of death.
Shrouded by the claw after images, the astral insects burst into pieces, and black mucus splashed towards Cell.
That black mucus contained a very strange force. As soon as it landed on the demonic qi protecting Cell, it put the demonic qi out, and then landed on him.
As soon as the black mucus landed on him, Cell raised his head and issued a shrill scream, and his face contorted from the unbearable pain. Black gas surged, and his movement slowed down greatly.
Taking advantage of the moment Cell’s movement slowed down, a large number of astral insects passed through his defenses, pounced on him, and devoured him in big mouthfuls.
Within a dozen breaths of time, Cell was covered by a dense swarm of astral insects, giving off a hair-raising feeling to anyone who’d laid eyes on him.
“Retreat!” Yang Feng and Pohana have just flown into the star magic vessel, when the star magic vessel lit up with black light, and suddenly turned into a beam of black light fleeing towards the distance.
Chilling chewing sounds echoed inside the meteorite belt.
Yang Feng took a deep look at Tycon with a strange gleam in his eyes. If he had been a little slower, he would have been abandoned.
Pohana glanced at Tycon, and a peculiar glint flashed past her pretty eyes.
Tycon looked back, and his face changed dramatically. He shouted: “Shit, the astral spatial silkworms have caught up!! You two, use spatial interference spells!”
Astral spatial silkworms were the fearsome astral insects that devoured Cell and Azal. They were born with the power to control space, and adult astral spatial silkworms possessed junior demon commander rank strength. Moreover, they were social creatures. Once surrounded by them, then even Starry Sky Warlocks would find it hard to escape death.
Behind the star magic vessel, a dense spatial silkworm swarm appeared and disappeared as it crossed space and chased after the three.
Her pretty face slightly pale, Pohana silently recited an incantation, pointed to the back, and cast the level-4 spell Spatial Interference.
Strange spatial ripples suddenly spread in the back.
The space behind them twisted for a moment, and then restored its tranquility. The astral spatial silkworms were unable to use their innate spatial ability amid the distorted and chaotic spatial fluctuations, unable to continue their chase.
Yang Feng also silently recited an incantation, and, alternating with Pohana, cast Spatial Interference to block the spatial ability of the astral spatial silkworms.
An hour later, the star magic vessel broke away from the pursuit of the astral spatial silkworms.
Tycon shot Pohana an indifferent look and said: “Take it out!”
A blank look on her face, Pohana handed one-third of the astral stones to Tycon.
Tycon was in charge of controlling the star magic vessel, and one-third of the resources collected by the others were to be handed to him, this was the arrangement of this team.
Tycon took a deep look at Yang Feng and frowned slightly. He didn’t ask Yang Feng for astral stones.
Suddenly, the surrounding space distorted, a big hole appeared, and a 100-meter-long, luxurious star magic vessel far superior to the one Tycon and company rode emerged.
On the star magic vessel, there stood a very handsome human demon man with a horn on his head. The human demon man was surrounded by a dozen human demon beauties. Every person atop the star magic vessel exuded demon commander rank aura, while the handsome human demon man even more so exuded quasi-demon monarch aura.
As soon as Tycon saw the handsome human demon man, his face turned pale, and he uttered in a trembling voice: “Heart-eating Junior Demon Monarch!”
Pohana’s pretty face also turned pale, and she shivered.
Yang Feng frowned slightly. After a quick search through Demon Monarch Sly Wolf’s memories, a dignified look surged inside his eyes.
The Heart-eating Junior Demon Monarch was a human demon expert. Although he possessed quasi-demon monarch rank cultivation base, but his fighting strength was comparable to some demon monarch rank experts. Moreover, he was cruel and bloodthirsty. He liked to eat the hearts of experts. Even among demons, he was an abominable and extremely ferocious character.
The Heart-eating Junior Demon Monarch raised his eyebrows, and he shot a glance full of interest at Yang Feng and his party and showed a cruel smile: “Oh! You ants know my name! Good, I’m in a good mood today. Give me all your secret treasures and resources, and I’ll be merciful and let you live.”
Tycon spoke coldly, a gloomy expression on his face: “Don’t believe a single word he says. Those who do end up dead.”
The Heart-eating Junior Demon Monarch smiled malevolently, stared at Pohana like a snake eyeing a mouse, and said coldly: “Ha-ha, that’s right! All the men who believed me are dead. However, I have been always gentle to women! The woman over there, if you don’t want to die, come join me! Otherwise, I’ll cook you alive first!”
Her pretty face blanched, Pohana shivered slightly, a wavering look on her face. She wasn’t chaste to begin with, and had no scruples with becoming his woman. But she worried that the Heart-eating Junior Demon Monarch would go back on his words and kill her.
An expression of ridicule on his face, the Heart-eating Junior Demon Monarch looked over with a strange intoxication in his eyes.
Yang Feng quietly retreated by a few steps.
Tycon’s countenance changed, and he barked: “Pohana, have you forgotten our hundreds-of-years-long friendship?”
Pohana’s face changed and her eyes flashed with decisiveness, then she stepped forward and said in a loud voice: “Heart-eating Junior Demon Monarch, don’t try to drive a wedge between us! I will never betray my companions!”
Tycon’s eyes flashed with a peculiar gleam, and he released a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Pohana’s figure retreated briskly, and a sharp claw 30 centimeters long popped out on her right clawed hand. Carrying fearsome demonic qi, swift as a clap of thunder, her claw thrust into Tycon’s chest and scooped out his heart.
After her attack succeeded, Pohana blurred into motion and flew towards the Heart-eating Junior Demon Monarch’s star magic vessel.
“Why…!!!” As a demon commander, Tycoon’s life force surpassed that of humans by dozens of times. After his heart was dug out by Pohana, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he bled from his facial orifices. He roared a single word.
Pohana revealed a fascinating smile, a look of ridicule in her pretty eyes: “Because I want to live! Tycoon, you fool!! How could I defy the Heart-eating Junior Demon Monarch because of you? Are you out of your mind? And you even believed me?”
Eyes filled with anger, Tycoon trembled slightly and fell on the floor. He died with his eyes opened wide.
“Nicely done!” With a grin, the Heart-eating Junior Demon Monarch extended his hand and exuded tremendous attractive force, pulling Pohana to his side. He tore her clothes, and his hand went on to knead her body.
Pohana blushed. Her eyes limpid like water, she released a charming aura, and said coquettishly: “This is what you ought to do.”
