Chapter 257 - 257: End of the Battle, Sudden Change!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

With Yang Qingyue’s assistance, the silent battle between the two sides seemed to be reaching a turning point.

The black torrent, seizing this opportunity, had countless black insects surging in that direction.

Only those on the outermost perimeter still maintained the integrity of the circle.

And so, the balance of the battle continued to tilt.

The black insects had an absolute advantage.

However, the battle continued in this manner for about another minute.

Suddenly, the red insects in the center ceased their attacks.

This meant they were no longer preparing to counterattack the surrounding black insects. Instead, they started devouring each other.

Not only that, as they devoured one another, their sizes began to grow larger.

In less than twenty minutes, ten creatures the size of hyenas appeared before everyone.

Facing these almost nail-sized insects, their existence was already terrifying.

These ten creatures didn’t hesitate; they charged towards a distant location.

They didn’t engage in a direct conflict with the large group of black insects.

Instead, they headed straight in one direction.

The direction of their charge was surprisingly towards the mountaintop.

Perhaps the people from Yun City knew that the mountaintop was where the old man and the others were located.

Or, it could be that the mountaintop was the most challenging direction to escape from.

Therefore, the insects besieging the mountaintop had the weakest defenses.

In this situation, it was clear that the opponent had broken through the defense in an instant.

Similar to how Sister Zhou had broken through their area earlier, they had torn open a gap.

Of course, the gap they tore open wasn’t for infestation but rather an attempt to escape.

Li Yidao, witnessing this scene, took a deep breath.

The talisman in his hand was ready for action.

However, the voice of the old man reached his ears at this moment. “Don’t be hasty. That position is deliberately left for those little fellows. It’s not the first time we’ve encountered them; it would be strange if we didn’t understand their abilities.”

Timing was everything.

Just as the old man’s calm voice fell, indeed, right in front of them, or when the ten enormous insects had just broken out of the encirclement, they suddenly stood still in place.

Then, their entire bodies burst open!

Out of the originally ten fused insects, only two remained in the end.

However, they were severely injured and certainly unable to continue the fight!

Witnessing this scene, Li Yidao was momentarily stunned!

The previous attack had originated from underground!

At this moment, more than twenty individuals from Yun City appeared, standing not far from the recent explosion site.

It was evident that they had been concealed underground just before.

They likely utilized the insects’ burrowing ability to hide in the shadows.

And now… they seized this opportunity to emerge!

Moreover… their hidden position was clearly intentional.

Otherwise, why would there be fewer personnel in their ambushing position?

All of this could already explain a lot.

Exhaling deeply, Li Yidao observed this operation with a sense of admiration.

It seemed that Yun City was indeed similar to what the old man had described.

No, actually!

It should be said that the old man hit the mark.

Their current actions demonstrated considerable intelligence.

Naturally, they had made many preparations; otherwise, the outcome of this battle would not have been possible!

But…

This was just the beginning, an attack under careful preparation.

In reality… the battle was not that simple!

For each resident of Yun City, the insects they raised were their lives.

When all the insects they raised were depleted, their lives would become exceptionally weak!

They might even face death directly!

so…

Yun City was currently experiencing significant consumption!

At least the situation was not as straightforward as it seemed!

The old man was now slowly walking towards the direction of the mountain.

As he walked, he said, “Qingyue, feel free to act when the time comes.”

“Little Zhou, if you encounter anyone needing treatment, provide the fastest healing, prioritize preserving lives.”

The old man had arranged tasks for Sister Zhou and Yang Qingyue separately. Even he himself had prepared to act at any moment.

But he told Yang Feng, “Don’t take action. Use your abilities sparingly. Save them for later. We will face more dangerous situations.”

“These creatures have experienced a significant decrease in intelligence after many years of dormancy. It should be fine now without the presence of a queen. The remaining task is just to clean up.”

Li Yidao, who had been eager to take action, hesitated for a moment and then slowed his pace.

Since he was not allowed to intervene, he decided to hold back.

He also realized that the red area was on its last legs, rapidly shrinking.

The black insect forces began employing tactics, no longer sacrificing themselves recklessly.

Any injured or weakened insects were pulled to the rear for recuperation, while fresh and energetic ones took their place at the forefront.

This combat strategy aimed to maximize their safety.

So, at this point, the situation became somewhat clearer.

Not only that, but Yang Qingyue continued to launch attacks incessantly.

Her targets were concentrated areas where the enemy was huddled.

The people from Yun City seemed to have noticed her ability!

Or perhaps, the Yun City people who had just descended from the mountain had conveyed Sister Zhou’s combat skills.

Seeing this, the people below, whenever they had the time or opportunity, would open their water flasks or pour river water from containers onto the ground.

In this scenario, Yang Qingyue’s attacks never ceased.

Moreover, her attacks played a truly decisive role.

The battle was gradually approaching its conclusion. Even Li Yidao relaxed.

It seemed things were not as bad as they initially appeared.

Thinking about this, Yang Feng couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.

He was thankful he had followed the old man’s advice.

Otherwise, he might be facing even greater danger right now.

Given their previous situation, it was impossible for them to bind all the insects together.

Even after witnessing the opponent’s fusion ability just now, Li Yidao contemplated, if the opponent truly fused together and attacked them, what other methods did he have besides using talismans?

Well, maybe he could just offer his head.

Then, he would rely on the Blade of Death, which may or may not activate!

That seemed to be the only option.

However, just when everyone thought the battle was about to end, when they believed victory was imminent, suddenly, the ground in front began to tremble continuously.

Then, a massive tentacle emerged from the ground! Seeing this tentacle, Li Yidao clearly felt the old man pause for a moment.

The situation seemed far from over!
