Chapter 454: Chapter 260: Plasma Sacred Beetle (Larva)

Despite being a Guardian Beast Master, Zhong Ling could easily be killed by Jin Zhan.

However, the Gale Sky Flash Butterfly’s Exclusive Trait, Butterfly Seal Replacement, had already given Zhong Ling a way to save her life.

As long as Zhong Ling could master the use of this Exclusive Trait, she could even toy with opponents known for their speed in battle.

As Zhong Yi was thinking of Jin Zhan, in a distant world...

Jin Zhan, who was sprawled on a pile of gems and about to take a nap, let out a sneeze.

Jin Zhan glanced at the magnificent, enchanting scenery of his private valley, then sullenly grabbed two handfuls of the gem pile he was lying on.

Jin Zhan had sent Zhong Yi a friend request, but it hadn’t been accepted.

After Jin Zhan learned that Qiao Shuyu had taken second place, he specifically contacted her to ask what had happened in the Divine Wood Secret Realm after his elimination.

But Qiao Shuyu refused to say a word, showing him no deference at all.

And this was despite the fact that he and Qiao Shuyu had known each other for years!

Having his friend request ignored by Zhong Yi wasn’t the source of Jin Zhan’s frustration.

Jin Zhan received tons of friend requests every day; he never bothered to look through them one by one.

It’s just that, as a Zhenxing C Level Talent, when *he* added someone, their Soul Fighting Bracelet should have displayed a special notification.

Ever since he was young, Jin Zhan had held a high status within the Overlord Dragon Race because of his Bloodline.

He’d never even considered the possibility that someone would reject his friend request.

Jin Zhan just assumed Zhong Yi hadn’t seen it!

But when Jin Zhan spoke with Qiao Shuyu, he learned that not only had she and Zhong Yi become friends, they had also met in a reception room.

This made Jin Zhan utterly miserable!

Jin Zhan tried sending Zhong Yi another friend request, only to find that the message displayed wasn’t "waiting for approval."

Instead, it read, "Request sent successfully."

This meant that Zhong Yi had deleted his previous friend request.

Jin Zhan grabbed an orange-yellow gem larger than his own head and admired his handsome face in its reflection.

He muttered sullenly to himself, ’Am I really that unlikable?’

’Why hasn’t that little swindler added me yet?’

The miserable Jin Zhan flopped back onto his pile of gems, and before long, rhythmic snores echoed through the valley.

As Zhong Yi and his team continued to wipe out Wolf Insect Swarms within the Wolf Insect Secret Realm, their exploration progress steadily increased.

Zhong Yi was now certain that they had reached the central region of the Wolf Insect Secret Realm.

A thick, slippery Fungal Mat now covered the ground.

On this seemingly endless Fungal Mat, Wolf Insects could replenish their Energy and move faster.

But for Zhong Yi and his team, walking on the Fungal Mat was a different story; it became extremely viscous.

It drastically slowed their pace.

The fungal strains that composed the Fungal Mat were extremely adaptable.

If they were to get outside the Wolf Insect Secret Realm, they would rapidly multiply and devastate the local environment.

Zhong Yi had Sun Ya command Liaoyuan Cluster Fire to burn away the entire Fungal Mat.

The act of burning the Fungal Mat attracted even more Wolf Insects, forming a Wolf Insect Tide that numbered over ten thousand.

On their way to the core region of the Wolf Insect Secret Realm, Zhong Yi and his team had already fought countless battles.

Several of those had been Wolf Insect Tides of over 3,000.

However, the quality of the Wolf Insect Tides in the outer regions couldn’t compare to those in the core.

A Wolf Insect Tide in the outer regions was typically composed of tens or even hundreds of Wolf Insect Squads, with each squad consisting of one Elite Level Wolf Insect leading a few dozen regular ones.

The total number of Elite Wolf Insects in such a tide wouldn’t exceed 200.

But in this current Wolf Insect Tide of over ten thousand, the number of Elite Wolf Insects was definitely over 1,000.

Sun Ya and He Guoguo had never faced a scene like this before.

Even though the Bitter Anger Beast had already split into seven separate bodies, He Guoguo still felt a flicker of fear upon seeing a Wolf Insect Tide of this magnitude.

Shen Xuan and Zhong Ling, however, were more composed. They had experienced the battles within the Ice Cave Secret Realm, where the number of enemies in the Ice Storm Ape and Snowstorm Ape Community had exceeded 5,000.

Watching the menacing swarm approach, Zhong Ling spoke to Zhong Yi, her tone grave.

"Young Master, there are too many Wolf Insects. If we were in a narrow passage, I could have the undead Elite Wolf Insects hold the front line."

"Guoguo’s Bitter Anger Beast and Ah Xuan’s Rhombic Diamond Golem Ghost could handle defense, and with Xiaoya’s Deceit Beast providing damage, we could still hold them off."

"But in this open space, the Wolf Insects will engulf us instantly if they charge."

"I only have just over 300 undead Elite Level Wolf Insects under the control of my Reincarnation Nether Butterfly."

"Young Master, we need your help!"

After assessing the situation, Zhong Ling decisively asked Zhong Yi for help.

Zhong Ling hadn’t expected that burning the Fungal Mat would attract nearly every Elite Wolf Insect in the area.

Zhong Yi, however, knew exactly what would happen.

When he told Sun Ya to have Liaoyuan Cluster Fire burn the Fungal Mat, Zhong Yi had already anticipated this outcome.

The relationship between the Fungal Mat and the Wolf Insects was extremely intimate.

Once the Fungal Mat was damaged, the strains that comprised it would release a special scent.

This scent would summon the Wolf Insects to deal with the threat.

Zhong Yi had done this knowing full well what would happen; he wanted his team to experience the feeling of fighting against overwhelming odds.

Whether it was in the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm or the Secret Realms opened by the Wanyu Gambling Company...

...one would inevitably face difficult situations when fighting alone.

Only by experiencing combat in such dire straits could they learn to remain composed when facing them in the future.

Beyond that, Zhong Yi also wanted to test the Judgment Evil Lotus he had formed a Contract with.
