Chapter 622: Chapter 400 Revived Insects

    “`

    Just at the moment the insect corpse was exposed to the air, Zi Liyuan keenly sensed that something was wrong.

    A fleeting wisp of dark energy quickly seeped into the insect corpse’s brain.

    The insect corpse, once frozen into a lump of ice, suddenly vibrated for a moment. If it weren’t for Zi Liyuan’s Spirit probing the area with his mind continuously scanning the map, he would have thought it was just an illusion.

    “Old Iron, back off!”

    With a powerful shout, Zi Liyuan immediately leaped back over a hundred meters.

    Old Iron wasn’t slow either, his powerful burst of strength not only kicked up a ten-meter-wide pit on the frozen ground but also managed to kick the frozen insect corpse away, using the recoil to launch himself toward Zi Liyuan, similarly covering over a hundred meters.

    A sharp “crack” rang out, especially clear in the silent eternal night.

    A “hiss” sound of insects echoed in the dark night.

    The insect corpse, just kicked away by Old Iron, instantly shattered the frost covering its body.

    The massive shell on its back opened up like two iron gates. Two pairs of transparent insect wings flapped furiously, swooping down like a high-speed fighter jet aiming at Zi Liyuan’s location.

    Six insect legs, like six sharp blades, swept toward Old Iron with a fierce cold gleam.

    Meanwhile, the insect, once only seven to eight meters long, swelled rapidly as it charged.

    Almost in an instant, it grew from seven to eight meters to twenty meters.

    Its power level also underwent a dramatic change.

    What was once a mere Third tier ordinary Boss strength was suddenly amplified to the Fourth tier LV100 peak Lord Boss level.

    With a “sizzling” sound, the insect’s six sharp legs sliced past Old Iron, sparks flying everywhere.

    Naturally, Old Iron wouldn’t be the one to suffer a loss.

    The fist spikes on his hands and the eight sharp spider claws on his back swung and stabbed wildly the moment the insect came close.

    The extremely sharp fist spikes easily pierced the insect’s shell, directly carving out two four or five-meter-long wounds on its abdomen.

    The eight sharp spider claws, in their frenzied stabbing, also easily penetrated the insect’s defenses, repeatedly jabbing in its abdomen, piercing dozens of fist-sized holes.

    With a “boom,” a Bone Wall erupted from the ground, blocking the insect’s path, crashing into it head-on.

    “Die!”

    The Bone Spear, almost a mere few feet away, shot into the insect’s open mouth, penetrating all the way through its head.

    Millions of blood-red damage numbers floated from above this insect’s head.

    The insect, just resurrected, instantly had its health bar emptied, falling to the ground and making several large craters.

    “Old Iron, cut off its legs and wings!”

    Even though he saw clearly the insect’s health bar empty, Zi Liyuan gave the order without hesitation.

    The pressure on his Spirit was unusually strong and didn’t disappear after killing the insect. Instead, it grew even more intense.

    Therefore, Zi Liyuan couldn’t be careless in his response.

    To be safe, it was best to dismember this insect directly. Even if revived by something, dealing with an incomplete corpse would be much easier.

    Old Iron leaped onto the insect’s corpse, his fist spikes decisively swinging down twice, slicing off the insect’s wings at the root.

    Then he jumped off the corpse and kicked it over, flipping it belly up.

    The fist spikes slashed again, cutting into the two robust and sturdy hind leg joints, slicing them three-quarters of the way through.

    With alternating blows, he slashed five times in a row, just barely managing to cut off the thickest pair of hind legs.

    Just as he was about to continue severing the mid legs, an insect leg lashed out like a whip, catching the unsuspecting Old Iron on the head.

    With a loud bang, Old Iron flew horizontally like a cannonball, directly collapsing a small hill more than ten meters away, buried under the shards of rock and permafrost.

    The insect, just killed by Zi Liyuan’s spearing bone, once again underwent a change, resurrecting once more!

    Even more perversely, it gained some sort of enhancement again.

    Previously only swelling to twenty meters, it now surged to a colossal forty meters in size!

    Its strength leaped from the previous Fourth tier LV100 peak Lord Boss level to the Fourth tier peak Epic Boss!

    However, the severed wings and limbs didn’t mutate along with the Boss.

    That is to say, the dismemberment task given by Zi Liyuan to Old Iron was effective.

    This Epic Boss insect had become disabled.

    Without wings, it couldn’t fly.

    Its six robust insect legs, with the thickest pair of hind legs severed, couldn’t support its now colossal body.

    Now, this Epic Boss insect, flipped over, lay flat on the ground, its belly and rear in contact with the earth, unable to lift itself.

    Walking relied on the remaining four insect legs, making control difficult. During movement, forget about swift action; it was as if it were drunk on counterfeit wine, stumbling and tripping, even rolling on the ground.

    “Damn it, what the hell is messing with us?”

    Zi Liyuan squinted, probing the insect Boss repeatedly with his Spirit, yet still not gaining any useful information.

    However, just as he was preparing to cast a spell to finish off the insect, an intense alarm rang in his mind. Without wavering, he tore and activated a Holy Shield Technique scroll.

    The golden Holy Light transformed into a massive eggshell, enveloping him inside.
