The moment he crushed his teeth, Ding Meng felt that something was wrong. By the time he rushed over, it was already too late. Meng Fan's entire body had undergone a terrifying change. His skin was changing, fading, and withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was as if an adult had suddenly turned into an old man and then died of old age.
Five seconds. In just five seconds, Meng Fan had withered into a pile of skeletons. A gentle breeze blew past, and the skeletons immediately turned into dust. An extremely unpleasant stench filled the air.
Ding Meng decisively took a few steps back. He could already smell that it was highly toxic. Even he could feel the skin on his arm tightening and hurting.
This Meng Fan's teeth contained highly toxic poison. It seemed that he had been prepared. Once he was in a desperate situation, he would rather commit suicide than fall into the enemy's hands.
What kind of secret organization was this Black Handprint?
Even a battle general like this had such awareness, and he was also involved with the mo.
Ding Meng opened his palm and tried to absorb the Origin Energy stars in the air. Unfortunately, Meng Fan had died without leaving a trace of Origin Energy. It seemed that the highly toxic poison had also eroded his Origin Energy.
He turned around again and saw that the metal bridge was still growing. This time, Ding Meng didn't think too much. He flashed his Divine Light and stabbed it into the bridge. The Divine Light in his body continuously poured into the bridge, slowly purifying the energy of the Demons. He couldn't let the Demons' things spread to the super crystal.
A moment later, he turned around again. At this moment, the mountain wall at the end of the bridge exploded with a bang. A group of people filed in, led by Zhong Huazheng. However, the Starry Rainbow Group's armor was all gone. It was probably corroded by the monster in the main passage. Only three people were left in the team of more than twenty. He didn't know if they had died or returned. In any case, he couldn't sense their auras. He also didn't know where Liang Yi and Eisendale were.
As soon as they saw the super crystal, Zhong Huazheng and the other two's eyes widened.
"After working so hard for so many years, I finally see the true face of the mountain!" Zhong Huazheng's breathing was a little rapid.
At this moment, all of his attention was focused on the super crystal. He completely ignored Ding Meng's existence. He slowly walked onto the bridge. His expression was as if he had just seen a beautiful woman take off her clothes.
Ding Meng had already retracted his light thorns. He said calmly, "So what if I did?"
Only then did Zhong Huazheng realize that Ding Meng was blocking his way. He frowned and said, "I won't argue with you about what happened before. You can leave now. I won't make things difficult for you!"
"Make things difficult for me?" Ding Meng could not help but laugh. "Do you think you have the right to make things difficult for me?"
Zhong Huazheng glared at him and said, "This is the property of my Star Rainbow Group, how dare you interfere?"
Ding Meng was too lazy to argue. "Let me ask you, how did the monsters from the Devouring Realm come in?"
Zhong Huazheng sneered. "We've already killed the trash from the Devouring Realm. Do you think you're stronger than that monster?"
Ding Meng sighed. "If I'm not wrong, you were able to blast open the passage not because you really killed it, but because it needed you to open the passage. Your arrogance led the Devouring Realm's power to this place."
Zhong Huazheng said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ding Meng sighed. "You'd better pray for yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Huazheng's expression changed. The evil and strange aura from before appeared again. When he turned his head to look, he saw that the walls of the abyss were emitting green mucus. As expected, the Devouring Realm's monster had infiltrated here.
"What's going on?
Wasn't it already killed? "Zhong Huazheng was shocked.
"Hehehehehe!"
The creepy laughter resounded throughout the abyss. "Stupid and ignorant guy, if you didn't lead the way, I don't think I would have been able to find this place for the rest of my life."
Zhong Huazheng was enraged. "You bastard, how did you find us?"
The monster laughed. "Do you want to know why?
I'll let you die with an understanding. I've known about your plan for many years. I've been living in your people for a long time. Once you entered the core, I could naturally follow you in. "
The Devouring Realm's monster was able to live in the bodies of Battle Lords and Battle Saints without being detected. This monster was at least at the Sect Master level. That was an existence that instilled fear in countless Origin Ability users.
Zhong Huazheng suddenly felt a chill. He had always thought that this monster was at the Great Elder level. Who would have thought that he was so wrong? If this treasure was obtained by the Devouring Realm's monster, it would be an immeasurable disaster.
The monster seemed to know what he was thinking. It laughed strangely again. "Hahahahaha, this so-called New World Energy that you think of is useful to me. With it, I can create an army of billions and cultivate brand new Void Spirit Skates. The feast of a hundred years ago can be held again …"
This time, even Ding Meng was shocked. He had seen the Void Spirit Skates in the Devouring Realm. The reason why the Devouring Realm could not expand was because there were too few Void Spirit Skates and they could not be transported on a large scale. However, if the Void Spirit Skates could be mass-produced like the Federation's fleet, the Devouring Realm's army would be able to cross the Zeratul Star Field, and the Holy Grail Federation would be doomed.
Ding Meng was not some savior, nor did he care about the Federation's fate. However, this monster was right in front of him. It was indeed a rare and powerful enemy. He had to protect the super crystal no matter what.
Zhong Huazheng looked at the walls of the abyss that were constantly melting. He suddenly realized something. "You're fusing with this place?"
"Hahaha!"
The monster laughed proudly. "Kid, you have good eyes. Now you know what I'm capable of. Did you really think you could kill me in the passage just now?
Hahahaha, stupid. You're all in my stomach now. All of you have to die! "
As soon as it finished speaking, it started drizzling in the abyss. However, upon closer inspection, these cat-like raindrops were actually black venom. It was unknown if it was the venom that had corroded the armor earlier.
"Clang, clang, clang." Zhong Huazheng and the other two activated a golden source energy shield. With the shield's protection, they could naturally avoid coming into contact with the venom.
People at the Battle Sage level were naturally not afraid of the venom. However, if they had to use their energy to resist it, it would undoubtedly consume a lot of energy. The shield could only slow down their energy consumption.
Ding Meng also finally activated the fourth diamond-shaped origin point. The blood in his body flowed faster. At least the feeling of tightness when his skin came into contact with the venom was gone. He did not believe that the Devouring Realm's venom was stronger than the K virus in his body.
Although he was fine, Zhong Huazheng and the other two were in trouble. From the four walls of the abyss, a series of monsters flew out and pounced toward Zhong Huazheng and the other two.
"Let's have some fun with my disciples and grand-disciples!" The monster laughed sinisterly.
These monsters that flew out were actually mutated mosquitoes the size of a human. Their bodies were a mixture of red, yellow, and blue. However, the thorns on their faces were golden and longer than a human's arm. They looked terrifying.
Ding Meng's expression changed. "Ghost Mosquitoes!"
"What's that?"
Although Zhong Huazheng was strong, he had no experience dealing with Devouring Realm monsters. During the Devouring Realm War a hundred years ago, he was still in outer space and had not returned to the Federation. He had no idea how terrifying these things were.
However, Ding Meng knew that the Ghost Mosquitoes were not ordinary mutated monsters. They were cultivated in the high-level venom of the Strange Shadow Tree. They were the divine weapons in the hands of those old monsters.
Sure enough, as soon as the dozens of Ghost Mosquitoes flew out, they shot tri-colored poisonous arrows at Zhong Huazheng and the other two from afar. This scene was a bit like soldiers with photoelectric guns surrounding and suppressing them. The shields of Zhong Huazheng and the other two were smoking and shaking violently.
They could even shake the shields of Battle-Saints and Battle-Lords. Zhong Huazheng was secretly shocked. He gritted his teeth and said, "Kill them!"
The two subordinates in front were ice element people. One of them raised his hand and shot countless ice spears into the sky. The other directly formed a layer of ice with the power of Dark Ice to freeze the mosquitoes in the sky.
Zhong Huazheng, on the other hand, pushed out a fiery red stream with a diameter of over 30 meters with both palms, directly barbecuing the mosquito swarm in the sky with both ice and fire. These mosquitoes clearly could not withstand such a powerful bombardment, hissing as they turned into wisps of black smoke.
"Hmph, insignificant skill!" Zhong Huazheng sneered disdainfully.
Ding Meng sighed and said, "It's too early for you to be happy!"
"Eh?" Zhong Huazheng really wanted to ask why.
However, at this moment, the monster's voice rang out again, "You're this happy just because you're warming up with me?"
Zhong Huazheng felt nervous again. He had already seen clearly that there were more than thirty Ghost Mosquitoes flying out from the four walls. However, now, there were countless Ghost Mosquitoes floating out from all directions of the abyss. They covered the sky like dark clouds. There were at least tens of thousands of them.
The screeching of tens of thousands of Ghost Mosquitoes was so loud that everyone's ears were buzzing. This was really the sound of fire from hell.
Zhong Huazheng's face instantly turned pale. He was not afraid. He was a mid-level Battle-Saint. Facing such a large number of monsters, the enemy could easily exhaust him to death.
This was the reason why the Devouring World and the Frogman Kingdom could not be underestimated. The shocking number of monsters was enough to wipe out everything.
Zhong Huazheng turned his head and said, "Ding Meng, why don't we work together?"
At this time, Ding Meng seemed to be indifferent. He spread out his hands and said, "Isn't this the property of your Starry Rainbow Group?
I don't dare to interfere. You should protect your group's property. You should be aware of this, right? "
Hearing this, Zhong Huazheng almost vomited blood. This was a typical example of saying things that did not hurt one's back. Moreover, it was a sarcastic remark.
However, he did not dare to get angry at Ding Meng. He could only grit his teeth and say, "If I die, you won't be able to escape either."
"Is that so?"
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. "Then let's wait and see. Don't take any chances anymore. Take care of yourself!"
Following Ding Meng's gaze to the sky, Zhong Huazheng's expression was almost distorted. These tens of thousands of Ghost Mosquitoes were not disorderly. They were flying in an orderly manner in the sky. Moreover, many of the Ghost Mosquitoes' bodies had merged together to form a Phantom Ghost Mosquito that was as large as a building.
He was sure that his eyes were not playing tricks on him. This was really a Ghost Mosquito. Those who had not seen this scene before would not be able to understand the horrifying fear.
