Obviously, the talisman formation could only be activated by melting the ice.
However, once the ice melted, the terrifying insect king would be released …
To Yang Tian, this was a problem that was almost impossible to solve.
Even if he used the talisman formation, he was not confident that he could kill a creature that could fight with a deity.
From the looks of it, Wu Lu would not allow Yang Tian to release the insect from the ice.
"What does the creatures in the Star Ocean have to do with me …" Yang Tian thought bitterly as he glanced at Wu Lu.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
After a while, Wu Lu was the first to move. He leaped onto the insect king's back, gathered all the strength in his body, and punched the ice with his fist.
"Bang!"
There was a loud sound. There was no mark on the ice, but Wu Lu was thrown into the air by the strong force. After tumbling a few times, he smashed onto the ground, almost crushing an egg.
Wu Lu stood up and shook his head helplessly.
Even with Wu Lu's strength, he could not break the ice and hurt the insect king. Yang Tian knew that he could not do that either.
However, if pure strength was not enough, he could try attacking the insect king's spiritual body.
Yang Tian took out Red Knife Fifteen and slashed at the insect king dozens of times.
Fifteen's blue knife Qi broke through the ice and entered the insect king's body. However, there was no reaction at all.
"If this insect is so powerful, who sealed it here?"
Huie Chanchan asked curiously when she saw that Wu Lu and Yang Tian's attacks were useless against the insect king.
Yang Tian and Beiya both shook their heads. Wu Lu did not say anything. Obviously, he did not know either.
The person who could freeze the insect here must be of an unimaginable level. Perhaps it was one of the strong people from the Realm of the Gods.
As time went by, a series of rustling sounds could be heard.
This was the sound of insects crawling around.
For some reason, Yang Tian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that voice.
He and Wu Lu could not hurt the insect king. Only by melting the ice could they see the talisman formation under the insect king's abdomen.
If Wu Lu was not here, Yang Tian would have asked the Little Blue Dragon to melt the ice and let the strange program read the talisman formation … It would not take too long. Perhaps they would have escaped before the insect king woke up.
Wu Lu would not allow Yang Tian to do that.
Now that a large number of insects had crawled in, the insect king would definitely be released by its cubs.
After hearing the rustling sound, Wu Lu's eyes were filled with helplessness.
Then, he immediately turned around and flashed to the entrance, trying to stop the insects from entering the low-temperature cave space.
Wu Lu took out his bone hammer-shaped weapon and fiercely smashed it on the entrance of the mountain crevice, causing a thunderous boom.
The smashed boulders quickly blocked the naturally formed rock crack.
But this was only temporary. There were many insects outside. It was only a matter of time before they entered.
After temporarily blocking the cave, Wu Lu did not leave. Instead, he turned around and looked at Yang Tian.
"Xiao Long, let's do it!"
Although he could not see Wu Lu's eyes, Yang Tian knew what Wu Lu meant. He said to the Little Blue Dragon.
The Little Blue Dragon transformed into a giant dragon and flew into the air. It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of hot dragon flames, enveloping the insect king in golden flames.
The temperature in the cave rose at an extremely fast speed.
The ice that froze the insect king had been added with some "stuff". Even under the high temperature of the dragon flames, the melting speed was very slow.
In the sizzling sound, the insect eggs nearby began to make a "ge ge ge" sound.
This was the sound of the larvae tearing at the shell. Soon, they would come out of the egg.
The insect king's head had not been unfrozen, but the surrounding insects had already come out of the shell.
Beiya used his heavy machete and cut the insects that had just come out of the shell into two.
Hui 'e Chanchan also got busy.
Hui 'e Chanchan, who had become stronger, raised her hands and flicked her two fingers. Invisible energy shot out from her fingertips and hit the insects that had just come out of the shell, causing green liquid to explode.
But there were simply too many insects. Beiya and Hui 'e Chanchan could not handle them all.
Strangely, the hatched insects did not attack Yang Tian and the others. Instead, they crawled towards the insect king.
Once the insects touched the Little Blue Dragon's dragon flames, they immediately turned into black powder.
Even so, they continued to pounce towards the hot dragon flames.
Seeing this, Yang Tian had an idea. He said to the Little Blue Dragon, "Xiao Long, wait."
The Little Blue Dragon immediately stopped spitting out dragon flames.
When the dragon flames dissipated, the insects crawled onto the ice layer that had frozen the insect king. Their bodies shook and turned into green flames.
This kind of green flame gave people a cold feeling, but it emitted a high temperature.
Although it could not be compared to the Little Blue Dragon's dragon flames, the speed at which the green flames melted the ice layer was much faster than the Little Blue Dragon's dragon flames.
Yang Tian stopped Beiya and Hui 'e Chanchan.
More and more insects gathered towards the insect king. After breaking through Wu Lu's seal, the insects that entered the cave also crawled towards the insect king.
It turned out that these insects were not chasing after Yang Tian and the others. They were here to save their king.
Wu Lu sighed and gave up on killing the larvae.
The ice layer around the insect king was quickly covered by the burning larvae.
The ice melted into water and quickly seeped into the ground.
The temperature in the cave became higher and higher. More and more insects were hatched.
In less than ten minutes, the temperature in the cave had risen above zero.
Yang Tian used Fifteen again to slash at the insect king.
At this time, the frozen insect king had begun to wake up. Yang Tian saw its legs tremble under the ice.
Fifteen's blue sword energy rushed into the ice layer again and entered the insect king's body.
Just like before, the sword energy was like a stone thrown into the sea. The insect king still did not react.
If it could really destroy the insect king's spirit, it would not be Yang Tian who would be excited, but Fifteen's sword …
After several slashes, Yang Tian gave up again.
Most of the insects in the cave had hatched. The ice layer around the insect king had completely disappeared. Yang Tian and the others began to slowly retreat away from the insect king.
