Chapter 1164 Helpless Compromise (Two Chapters in One)
The gorgeous sunset shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on the water.
Occasionally, you can see some fish swimming quickly in the water, causing ripples on the water.
After Lin Li entered the swamp, his flying speed immediately dropped.
He didn't know exactly where in the swamp the Xuanling grass grew. At present, he could only find the Xuanling grass through careful searches.
Once you fly too fast, you may accidentally miss the Xuanling Grass.
The fresh air made people feel refreshed. Lin Li was more than thirty meters away from the water, and his eyes swept across the water from time to time.
After flying for a while, a piece of land covering thousands of square meters appeared in front of us.
This piece of land is not large, and there are many trees growing on it. The thick trees cover the sky and the sun, and there are bushes under the trees.
Lin Li was about to head to the land ahead. More than 150 meters away from the land, a huge wave suddenly appeared in the calm water.
"Crash."
Although the huge waves were more than ten meters high, they could not reach Lin Li.
However, a slender figure emerged from the huge waves and flew towards Lin Li like a sharp arrow shot from a bow.
"Locusts?"
Lin Li reacted very quickly when faced with the sudden attack. He ducked and moved a long distance to the left, easily avoiding the sneak attack.
The creature that rushed out of the water looked like a locust. It was huge, about one and a half meters long. It was gray in color and had some sharp barbs on its feet.
The weird locust with such an ugly face looks very powerful, but it is not a strange beast.
"Roar..."
The locust's sneak attack failed, but it did not give up. It opened the wings on its back, fanned it quickly, turned a corner in mid-air, and continued to fly towards the target while roaring.
Lin Li frowned. The sun was about to set, and he had no time to tease the locust in front of him.
"Zi."
He raised a finger, and as the power was activated, silver-white thunder and lightning appeared out of thin air, surrounding Lin Li's finger.
"Roar...?"
The locust saw the silver-white lightning appearing on Lin Li's hand, and his eyes showed confusion. At this time, it didn't know what it meant, and it still pounced on its prey at an extremely fast speed.
"Zi."
Lin Li pointed his raised finger at the flying locusts, and the lightning surrounding his fingers immediately shot out, hitting the oncoming locusts in the blink of an eye.
"Boom."
The terrifying lethality of lightning is extremely astonishing. The moment it hits the locust, the powerful destructive power will blow the target into pieces.
The broken limbs flew around like a goddess scattering flowers, drawing parabolas in mid-air.
When it fell into the water and stirred up waves, it made a splashing sound.
If such a ferocious creature, which is not a strange beast, appears around a human city, ordinary people will become food in its mouth if they encounter it and are not careful.
Not long after entering the swamp, I encountered such a weird locust, and similar situations would only happen more and more.
Lin Li casually killed a strange locust. Just as he was about to move forward, the water below him suddenly changed.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
Loud splashing sounds came one after another, and waves were set off one after another.
Lin Li looked at the same scene in front of him with a surprised expression on his face.
"Roar..."
Strange locusts that looked similar appeared in mid-air and roared at Lin Li.
Obviously, the fighting just now attracted the attention of other locusts underwater, and at this time they all flew out of the water.
Lin Li didn't expect that there were so many locusts living in the small area of water beneath him. He glanced at them and found that the number was no less than three hundred.
A swarm of insects of this size can easily destroy a human village.
Even a small town would be in danger when faced with such a swarm of insects.
"Roar..."
Lin Li had angered the swarm by killing the locust earlier, and now the locusts roared and launched ferocious attacks on him.
The wings on the locust's back flapped rapidly, and the sound and roar intertwined, covering a large area in an instant.
Faced with such a large-scale attack, Lin Li had no idea of retreat.
"Crack."
He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
Small orange-red flames shot out from his fingertips, growing in the air in the wind, and instantly turned into fireballs with a diameter of more than one meter and about the size of a locust.
The temperature of the scene heated up at an extremely fast speed because of the dozens of fireballs created by Lin Li.
The attack of the insect swarm did not stop, they bypassed the fireball created by Lin Li.
"You don't think these fireballs of mine can't move, do you?"
Lin Li muttered to himself, and then he clasped his hands together, and the scattered fireballs quickly converged, forming a high wall of flames to protect him.
Some locusts had no time to brake and crashed into the wall of flames. They screamed in agony and then fell down covered in burnt black.
The slower-flying locusts saw the miserable condition of their companions and stopped quickly, then flew around Lin Li, trying to find a breakthrough.
"Stop flying around me. I'm almost knocked unconscious by you."
"Roar..." The swarm of insects flew around Lin Li for more than a dozen times, but found no gap that could be broken through. They suddenly became furious and roared with a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth.
"These guys don't seem to be planning to leave, so I have no choice but to eliminate them all." Lin Li stared at the insect swarm and waited for more than a minute. When he saw that the insect swarm was still surrounding them, he started to attack ruthlessly.
"Go."
As Lin Li raised his hand, under his control, the fireballs forming a high wall of flames immediately flew towards the surrounding insect swarms.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The fireball made a whistling sound as it flew. The unprepared insect swarm had no time to escape and was hit hard.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
When the fireball hits the locust, a violent explosion occurs.
If only a fireball exploded, it would not cause any damage to the insect swarm.
At this time, dozens of fireballs exploded almost at the same time, causing horrific destructive power.
A heat wave swept around, and the shock wave of the explosion affected the water surface, causing huge water waves.
When the dust settled, only a few locusts remained in the swarm, and all of them were injured.
The fireball explosion just now was so powerful that the surviving locusts suffered severe internal injuries. It is still unknown whether they will all survive in the end.
"Is my fireball explosion so powerful now?"
Lin Li himself was a little surprised by the damage caused by the simultaneous explosion of this wave of fireballs
This time, he has achieved a breakthrough in cultivation and his strength has greatly increased. He has not yet tried to attack with all his strength, and his understanding of his own combat power is somewhat vague.
"Roar..."
The few surviving locusts looked lonely. Logically speaking, after encountering such a huge setback, they should have been so frightened that they turned around and ran away. However, at this moment, the few surviving locusts did not turn around and run away, but still stared at Lin Li with courage and roared loudly.
"It doesn't look like you have any intelligence at all, why don't you run away?"
Lin Li thought as he raised his hand, preparing to kill the remaining locusts.
Then, just as he was about to take action, many spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly appeared on the land ahead.
Lin Li dealt with the insect swarm. Although the insect swarm was just an ordinary creature, he did not take it lightly. He kept using his mental awareness to keep alert to the surroundings.
At this moment, many large psychic energy fluctuations suddenly appeared on the land ahead. Lin Li noticed it immediately, and then raised his head to look.
Countless figures flew up from the land, and they were each larger locusts.
And these locusts are not ordinary creatures. They all exude spiritual energy fluctuations. The worst ones have early-stage spiritual energy fluctuations, and the strongest ones have high-stage spiritual energy fluctuations.
"That's it."
When Lin Li saw the locusts flying on the land, he suddenly had some guesses in his mind.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
There is a high probability that there are locust swarms nesting on the land. These ordinary locusts hiding in the water and suddenly appearing to launch a sneak attack on themselves should be the guards placed by the locust swarm outside.
Now these guards were killed by Lin Li, and the elite forces on the land were alerted. Now a huge army of locusts appeared to eliminate Lin Li, this hateful invading enemy.
"This time I really stung a worm's nest." Lin Li muttered to himself as he looked at the swarm of locusts flying quickly from a distance.
In normal times, Lin Li would choose to avoid the sharp attack temporarily, retreat while fighting, and consume the locust swarm.
But now that the sun was going to set soon, he had to hurry up, so he advanced instead of retreating and took the initiative to fly towards the incoming locust swarm.
"Roar..."
"Whoops..."
"Boom..."
A fierce battle was about to break out, and Lin Li fought against the locust swarm.
Terrible roars and explosions rang out above the water. A burnt smell appeared quickly, and the fresh air turned turbid.
The charred remains fell like raindrops and fell into the water, causing many small splashes.
Blessed are the fish in the water. At first, only some fish came to this place. As time went by, more and more fish came to the waters of the battlefield to enjoy the delicious food.
The battle is taking place in the air. Although it has some impact on the water surface, it has little impact. That's why so many fish dare to come here and eat the dead locust corpses.
The locust swarms are so numerous that it seems impossible to kill them all.
Lin Li had thought that since there were so many locusts, he could take this opportunity to collect the corpses of locusts and provide flesh and blood essence to the magical tree, thereby speeding up the acquisition of the superpower fruit.
However, after fighting the locust swarm for a while, he discovered that most of the members of the locust swarm were actually composed of ordinary locusts.
In addition, his fireball exploded the locust beast into pieces, and there were so many body parts flying around that he couldn't collect them, so he had to give up.
As time passed, the sun in the sky moved some distance towards the horizon, and the sky became a little darker.
Lin Li and the locust swarm were fighting each other, and neither side could do anything for the time being.
"I have killed so many locusts and I can still maintain such an offensive. These guys are really not afraid of death!"
Lin Li didn't know how many locusts he had eliminated. Whenever the number of insect swarms decreased, another wave of locusts would fly out on the land to replenish the number.
If it were any other creature who was going to die like this one after another, his mentality would have exploded long ago.
"Whoops."
Another fireball flew out from in front of Lin Li, destroying a large wave of locusts.
There was a huge gap in strength between the two sides. If Lin Li really wanted to settle things once and for all, he could launch a big wave and directly use his strongest strength to bomb the land in the distance.
But having just entered the swamp now, Lin Li considered looking for the Xuanling Grass. If he made too much noise, it would attract the attention of some powerful beasts in the swamp.
At that time, if he wanted to find the Xuanling grass safely, the difficulty would increase.
“It’s so annoying!”
"I really want to make a big wave..."
Lin Li muttered in his heart that he had spent a lot of time fighting against the locust swarms. If he was asked to retreat now, he would not be willing to do so, so he could only continue the current battle.
After a few more minutes, more and more fish gathered in the water below, and these fish enjoyed the meal.
If you want to say who is the biggest winner in this battle, it is these fish in the water.
Just when Lin Li thought that he would not be able to make the locust swarm that was not afraid of death retreat even when the sun went down, the locust swarm that launched a ferocious offensive suddenly stopped attacking.
Countless locusts retreated, and Lin Li thought they were afraid of being killed.
As a result, the locust swarm retreated several hundred meters and stopped, staring at Lin Li intently.
"What is this for?"
"Are you not going to take the initiative to attack and switch to a defensive posture?"
Lin Li raised his hand and touched his chin. He could understand the change of the locust swarm.
His offensive just now was not said to be ferocious, but it still consumed a lot of money on the locust swarm.
No matter how the locust swarm survives, the death of so many companions in such a short period of time is still a bit of a strain on the entire group.
There should be many creatures living in the swamp, all of which compete with each other.
If the locust swarm loses too much, and if competitors come looking for it, their home base on land may be taken away.
Just when Lin Li was thinking about the reason why the locust swarm stopped, a very powerful spiritual wave suddenly erupted on the land.
"Second level peak?"
The moment he sensed the fluctuations in spiritual energy, Lin Li had a surprised expression on his face.
He had been fighting the locusts for so long just now, but he had not seen the second-level peak locusts appear.
At this moment, the opponent was emitting psychic energy fluctuations, obviously trying to deal with this powerful enemy.
"Roar..."
A majestic beast roar sounded on the land, and the terrifying sound spread to all directions. Many flowers, plants and trees were affected and began to shake, making noisy rustling sounds.
Under Lin Li's gaze, a white figure flew up from where the psychic energy fluctuations appeared.
"This locust is actually white?"
"Compared with other locusts, they look pretty good..."
It was completely white and looked like a locust carved from a piece of white jade. It flew up from the land and flew to a location a hundred meters away from Lin Li at an extremely fast speed.
The white locust in front of me exuded second-level peak spiritual energy fluctuations. It was small, only one meter long, and looked very petite compared to other locusts.
"Roar..."
When the white locusts came to Lin Li, they did not attack immediately, and their screams were not loud, giving people a gentle feeling.
"What's going on?"
"What does the strange beast seem to be saying to me this time?"
Just as Lin Li was thinking about it, the white locust suddenly began to speak human words, full of compromise.
"Human, I don't want to be your enemy, please leave here."
