Chapter 572 Ancient Devouring Insects!
"Gentlemen, I need to constantly expend my battle qi to clear the path ahead. It would be reasonable for you to offer me some compensation, wouldn't it?"
Lin Fan didn't rush in, but instead spoke with a smile.
Since the four members of the ancient clan were considered his own people, Lin Fan naturally felt embarrassed to accept payment. However, he was unwilling to work for free for other ancient clans.
“No problem, this request is reasonable! I am Leo of the Thunder Clan, and this is my younger brother, Reno.”
"Elder Mang Tianchi specifically instructed me to learn more from Brother Lin Fan during this trip to the Heavenly Tomb, and I hope that I can give him some pointers in the future!"
As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, a loud laugh came from the crowd, and two strong, ox-like figures stepped out. They were over two meters tall, and their bare upper bodies were covered in muscles that bulged like small mountains. Silver-white electric sparks flashed on their dark skin from time to time, making a sound that made people's scalps tingle.
As the young man named Leo finished laughing, he flicked his wrist, and three crystals containing powerful energy shot towards Lin Fan.
"The core of the Nine-Star Dou Zun energy body?"
"Then I will accept the honor without hesitation. I will certainly have the opportunity to spar with Brother Leo!"
Lin Fan smiled and returned the greeting with a fist salute. Because of the Mang Tian Chi, he had a lot of goodwill towards the Lei Clan.
"Haha, no problem at all!"
Leo laughed heartily, then stood next to Lin Fan with Renault.
"You all had better make a decision quickly, otherwise it will be too late to leave when the spatial storm comes."
Seeing the hesitant crowd, Lin Fan smiled and said.
"Never mind, here you go!"
The others looked extremely grim. Even for them, encountering a nine-star Dou Zun level energy body was extremely difficult. Even if they did encounter one, it would take a lot of time and effort to defeat it. They were really unwilling to give it to Lin Fan like this!
But there's nothing they can do; they don't have the strength to break through the energy crystal layer. Even the best things are only good if you're alive to enjoy them!
One by one, everyone stepped forward to pay the toll, until only one person remained, none other than Lin Fan's mortal enemy, Xiao Yan!
Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his expression extremely grim!
Among the eight ancient clans present, the weakest among them were all at the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Zun, while he was the only one who was a One-Star Dou Zun, and he had only just broken through!
Even with Yao Lao's help, his progress in the Heavenly Tomb was extremely difficult. The strongest energy body he collected was only a three-star Dou Zun, and he absorbed it immediately without leaving any residue!
"Forget about it, you don't have anything useful to me anyway. Just come along, I'll just consider it as bringing a free dog."
Lin Fan immediately saw through Xiao Yan's dilemma, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
"Haha, this guy is really funny. Isn't coming here to his death with the strength of a mere one-star Dou Zun?"
"The Xiao family was once so glorious, but now they've fallen to such a state. If I were you, I would have crawled into a hole in the ground long ago!"
Many onlookers looked at him with disdain and uttered merciless sneers. "You!"
An endless rage rose within Xiao Yan, and he almost ground his teeth to powder!
"Calm down! Let him say whatever he wants. Only after entering the third level will you be able to meet the Xiao family ancestor and have a chance to surpass him!"
Just as Xiao Yan was about to lash out, he heard Yao Lao's low shout in his mind.
He used all his strength to suppress his anger and stood silently to the side.
"Congratulations, Master, you have gained 3 Villain Points."
The voice in his mind made Lin Fan's smile even brighter. Compared to those energy bodies, villain points were more precious, and suppressing and humiliating Xiao Yan was something Lin Fan was very willing to do. The pleasure he felt was indescribable!
"Let's go!"
As the spatial storm drew near, Lin Fan did not linger. Intense, high-temperature flames formed in his palm and gradually expanded, forming a huge fireball that slowly rolled forward, rapidly melting all the energy crystals that came into contact with it!
He kept pushing forward like a tunnel boring machine, but after a while, Lin Fan's expression became serious because he found that the melted parts were gradually recovering, and the repair speed was getting faster and faster!
"This...it's actually an ancient Devouring Insect! This is troublesome!"
Besides Lin Fan, everyone else also realized that something was wrong, and Gu Qingyang's voice was filled with undisguised despair!
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and summoned his Sharingan, causing the scene before him to change dramatically!
It turns out that those translucent energy crystal layers were actually made up of extremely tiny insects!
"Damn it, how did I end up with these things!"
Lin Fan couldn't help but curse. These insects were extremely magical. Although they were not strong individually, their large numbers made up for it. They could devour any form of energy and convert it into energy crystals, similar to how silkworms eat mulberry leaves and spin silk!
Although the strange fire is extremely domineering, it is also a type of energy. Although many ancient devouring insects were killed under the high temperature, the surviving ones absorbed the energy and multiplied rapidly. If this continues, they will be trapped here sooner or later!
"My darling, lend me your Red Lotus Karmic Fire!"
"it is good!"
Huo Zhi nodded solemnly, and crimson flames rose from her palm, directly transmitting energy into Lin Fan's body.
The fireball, originally a fusion of four different flames, became five, and its temperature and power increased dramatically, causing the energy crystal layer in front to melt at an accelerated rate!
At this moment, Lin Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief. After capturing the Fire Child, he also developed an affinity with the Red Lotus Karmic Flame. Although he could not completely control it like the other four different flames, he could still control it for a short period of time!
However, as time went on, Lin Fan's slightly relaxed heart tightened again, because he led the team forward for dozens of kilometers, but the energy crystal layer seemed to be endless and had no end in sight!
"Brother Lin Fan, let me help you!"
At this moment, Xun'er in the Divine Might Space let out a low cry, her eyes turned crimson gold, and a vast flame energy surged from her body. It was the ancient clan's inherited flame, the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, ranked fourth on the Strange Flame Ranking!
This kind of strange fire is extremely domineering, capable of burning battle qi and energy into nothingness. However, precisely because of this, it is very difficult to control. Even Xun'er has not been able to perfectly control it yet!
However, Lin Fan couldn't care less about that now. He could only concentrate all his soul power and control the domineering Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame to merge into the five different flames!
Boom boom!
Deep, muffled explosions echoed continuously from within the fireball. Controlling the fusion of six different flames was an immense burden for Lin Fan, but he could only grit his teeth and persevere. If any mistake occurred and the flames exploded, everyone would be reduced to ashes!
Fortunately, there is always a way out. Just as the fireball became more and more violent, the resistance in front of them suddenly decreased, and the monotonous energy crystal layers in front of them disappeared. The group finally stepped into the third level of the Heavenly Tomb!
