Countless ant beasts crawled over the corpses of the hunter soldiers.
Each of them was the size of half a thumb, their eyes glowing green, brandishing sharp ant pincers.
Even more twisted was that among this swarm of beast ants, some were flying ants, which, like grasshoppers, vibrated their wings, leaping onto trees and into the sky.
Even the Divine Wind, already flying in the sky, was not spared, forced to dodge frantically in the air.
Noticing the peculiar scent on Divine Wind’s body, the flying ants, as if they had smelled honey, flapped their wings and all flew over, while the others diverted their attention, heading towards the tree where the Dark Crown Prince was hiding.
Including Hei San, none of the Dark Crown Prince’s subordinates escaped disaster; they were all devoured by the crazed beast ant swarm, reduced to stark white bones.
Several wind scythes slashed through the air; before the flying ants could get close, they were cut in half, but it was no use against the sheer number of flying ants.
A few flying ants, seizing the opportunity, alighted on the Wind Wings of the Divine Wind King.
"I’ve seen twisted, but never this twisted; what the hell are these things and where did they come from!" Divine Wind shouted frantically, the Magic Elements that formed his Wind Wings were being nibbled away bit by bit by these inconspicuous things.
That they could even devour Magic Elements was utterly shameless.
This forced Divine Wind to twist and turn in the air, like an awkward, cut-string kite.
"Just relying on us, we won’t last long. Judging by the trend of the beast ants, they seem to be aiming to attack Daoye Mountain Guard City. Among us, your movement technique is the fastest; you go back to Daoye Mountain first and inform the Hunter Soldier Branch and the Guard Team there," Yun Sheng, seeing the increasingly fierce beast ant tide, knew they couldn’t easily escape today.
Huangteng’s trio were still in the city, as well as Lin Yao’er and others; Yun Sheng couldn’t abandon them.
"No way, I can’t leave you behind," Divine Wind was also worried about the several companions from Xianju Country, but if he were to leave, Bloody Lolita would be left alone, not to mention the Dark Crown Prince, who was creepy and unpredictable, and might well stab them in the back.
Unconsciously, Divine Wind had come to consider Yun Sheng even more important than his own companions, and when he realized this, he himself was stunned.
Yun Sheng curled her lips; was her titled nickname, Bloody Lolita, just for fun?
Talking won’t prove it; let her actions speak instead.
She pointed to the Wind Wings on Divine Wind’s back, "That thing, can you make me a pair?"
Divine Wind’s facial muscles twitched.
If someone else had said this, Divine Wind might have sent a wind scythe slashing over, chopping him to bits, but since it was Yun Sheng who said it, he fell silent.
Heaven knows how precious Wind Wings are; aside from Sky Level mages, only the Elf Clan can possess magical wings.
In Yun Sheng’s tone, it was as if she was asking how many copper coins a kilo for those two cabbages.
Wind Wings are indeed condensed from Magic Elements, and Divine Wind naturally had a way to condense a pair for her too.
Divine Wind hesitated for a moment, then gathered a touch of pure Wind Element between his hands.
He placed his palms flat against Yun Sheng’s back, and a stream of cold and light Magic Elements flowed into Yun Sheng’s body.
Yun Sheng felt that the Wind Element Soul within her suddenly became lively.
Feeling the changes within Yun Sheng’s body, Divine Wind couldn’t help but look at her sideways.
He had originally thought that Yun Sheng was just a Fire Element magician, but judging from the current situation, she was a multi-element magician.
Yun Sheng felt much lighter, and slowly unfolding behind her back was a pair of Wind Wings as beautiful as butterfly wings.
Yun Sheng herself could use the Beginner Wind Element Levitation Technique; now with the Wind Wings, she was even more powerful.
She raised her Magic Wand, chanting fluently: "Fire Element, nothing can withstand, Fire Flame Continuous Explosion!"
The waving Magic Wand, her graceful body swaying with the wind, just like willow branches dancing in the spring breeze.
On the Mystery Bone Wand, a red soul stone was mingled with a misty aura of Wind Element.
This feeling, it was the breath of the Wind Elf!
Who would have thought that this little Lolita’s first soul stone had received the blessing of an Elf.
Such treatment for a human hasn’t appeared for many years; no wonder Divine Wind felt a sense of kinship upon first seeing her.
Divine Wind was taken aback, but then an even more jaw-dropping scene occurred.
From the Magic Wand, fierce balls of Flame Burst shot out like cannonballs.
"Boom boom boom," three intense Flame Bursts exploded on the ground in an instant.
Blazing flames erupted from the Flame Bursts, rolling out countless heatwaves, sweeping towards the Beast Ant Swarm.
The flames, as hot as a thousand degrees, instantly set the tiny Beast Ants ablaze, killing them and throwing the aggressive Ant Beasts into chaos.
Fire filled the sky, and as soon as the flames touched the wings of the Flying Ants, they instantly turned into bright fireflies.
Pressed by the flames, the vast majority of ants touched by fire were burnt to death, with only a lucky few burrowing into the ground.
Where countless Beast Ants had once swarmed, now lay a large crater turned to ashes.
The surging Beast Ants also smelled death and were so frightened by the terrifying killing power of the Flame Bursts that they stopped in their tracks.
But Yun Sheng was well aware that the deterrence of the Flame Burst was only temporary; once the fire weakened, the Beast Ants would surely make a comeback and continue advancing towards Daoye Mountain.
Insects and ants are most afraid of fire.
Yun Sheng’s Fire Element Flame Burst was extraordinarily powerful, just the natural enemy of these Ant Beasts.
If at this moment, her father Yun Canghai were here and could return to his peak condition, even if he could not repel this Beast Tide, he would still inflict devastating damage on the Beast Ants.
Regrettably, her cultivation was limited. After three consecutive Fire Flame Continuous Explosions, she had reached her limit; the Fire Magic Element within her was exhausted. She had to use the Meditation Water from the Beast Language Ring to rapidly replenish her magic, before she could launch the next round of Flame attacks.
Seeing this, Divine Wind knew Yun Sheng could suppress the situation temporarily. He folded his Wind Wings and landed under the tree where the Dark Crown Prince was, "Dugu Xiu, I entrust this person to you for now. If she suffers even the slightest injury, I will make you pay a bloody price."
When Divine Wind said these words, his face no longer held its usual playfulness. The dark green depths of his eyes were filled with unprecedented solemnity.
The Dark Crown Prince was also shaken by Yun Sheng’s Flame Burst and thought to himself that the girl’s strength was not weak. But what puzzled him was that the Magic Wand she had used only had one soul stone, which by rights should make her only a Magician.
Yet, both her Fire Flame Continuous Explosion and her chanting speed were more formidable than those of Great Magic Directors.
Who is she? Could she really be just an ordinary Hunter Soldier from Great Zhou?
The Dark Crown Prince snorted softly without responding.
Based on Divine Wind’s understanding of him, it was a reluctant agreement from the Dark Crown Prince.
Divine Wind did not linger; he transformed into a green streak and darted towards Daoye Mountain Guard City, like a meteor vanishing in the sky.
Half an hour had passed.
Yun Sheng had already consumed her ninth bottle of Meditation Water.
