The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"What kind of kung fu does Bai Poshan practice that allows him to summon so many underground beetles? If that's the case, once he gains the advantage of terrain, wouldn't no one be able to defeat him?"

Many people were puzzled. They had seen this kind of insect-summoning technique before, but this was the first time they had seen it so domineering in Baipo Mountain.

It would be impossible to summon so many insects without strong internal energy.

"Because Bai Poshan didn't use any true power at all; he only used the most primitive method."

Just then, a person shrouded in a cloak suddenly spoke up from the crowd.

Everyone who heard the sound turned to look.

"Brother, what do you mean by that?"

Many people had this question in their minds.

After a moment, the man slowly raised his head and said slowly, "It's very simple. Bai Poshan didn't use any real power to drive away the insects at all. The reason for this is simply that he has a scent on his hands that attracts these insects."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Bai Poshan again and, sure enough, they saw that apart from seemingly chanting incantations, Bai Poshan appeared to be completely relaxed, showing no signs of exertion and clearly not using any magical power.

"So, Bai Poshan was just bluffing us with his incantations! He was chanting to make us believe that these insects were summoned by his magic!"

Someone quickly realized something was wrong and immediately pointed out Bai Poshan's trick.

Upon hearing this, the others also joined in the cursing.

Hearing the murmurs in the crowd, Bai Poshan sneered. He looked at Fang Yun and said, "Kid, are you still going to keep struggling? I already warned you, this method is useless. These insects are endless. Can you kill so many of them?"

Since Bai Poshan had already been exposed, he simply stopped pretending and stood there, no longer chanting incantations.

"If you still want to wait until I run out of magic power, then give up. I can tell you clearly that I didn't use any real power at all."

Bai Poshan's face was full of smugness.

As for the insects, their replenishment speed was getting faster and faster. Although Fang Yun could cut off a large number of them with his sword each time, the speed at which these insects were pouring in made Fang Yun feel somewhat stretched.

"It won't be long before you can't hold on any longer."

· ········Requesting flowers· ····

Bai Poshan stared coldly at Fang Yun, toying with a small object in his hand, waiting for the scene where Fang Yun would be exhausted and possessed by insects.

As for the onlookers, they were also on tenterhooks, many wanting to see how Fang Yun would break the deadlock.

"Didn't he used to be able to create flames? He burned through such a large insect, so he should be more than capable of dealing with these small insects, right?"

"Yes, young master, hurry up and burn it with fire! If we keep cutting it with a knife, how long will it take?"

0 .... ...

In an instant, this sentiment was heard in many places, all expressing concern for Fang Yun's safety.

After all, they didn't have much affection for Bai Poshan.

They would prefer to have as few poisonous people as possible, like Bai Poshan.

Fang Yun heard these people's words. It wasn't that he didn't want to use fire, but being in mid-air made it almost impossible for him to catch his breath and adjust his internal energy. In that case, he couldn't quickly regulate his true energy to release the fire.

After all, to unleash such a pure flame, one needs to concentrate and focus one's energy for a period of time; otherwise, one cannot properly manage the flow of true energy within the body.

However, the onlookers, unaware of Fang Yun's situation, could only keep shouting incoherently.

At this moment, a knowledgeable person suddenly said, "That young master cannot adjust his internal energy in mid-air. We need to provide him with a place in the middle where he can borrow strength."

Upon hearing this, the others suddenly realized what was happening. They noticed a cart not far away, walked over, knocked a plank off it, and quickly threw it at Fang Yun's feet.

Chapter 758 Dilemma

"Thanks!"

When Fang Yun saw the thing coming, he leaped up and landed on the wooden plank.

Although it was just a light touch, for someone as agile as Fang Yun, such a small relay gave him a chance to catch his breath.

Conversely, if it were just an ordinary person, such a flying piece of wood would not be enough to provide any leverage; the person would likely fall to the ground along with the plank the moment they stepped on it.

Using this force, Fang Yun leaped into the air, then, in mid-air, he focused his mind and casually pointed to "043," and a thin line of fire shot out from his hand.

As expected, under such pure flames, the insects could not withstand the scorching heat at all, and almost instantly, they emitted a pungent burning sound.

Although the flames did not appear to be very strong, the ignition point at the center had reached a terrifying temperature.

However, these flames alone are far from enough to repel these insects.

After Fang Yun's flames burned away a batch of insects, the insects that followed almost instantly filled the spaces where the insects had just been burned to death.

These insects seemed to have been lured too far by what Bai Poshan was holding, and they rushed forward almost recklessly, regardless of life or death.

This would put immense pressure on Fangyun.

After all, flames cannot be created at will and require a large amount of true energy. If this continues, it will be almost impossible to succeed in dealing with these countless insects using only one's limited true energy.

Although the onlookers saw Fang Yun's predicament, they were all at a loss and couldn't think of any good way to help him. As a result, they all frowned and could only express their sympathy.

At that moment, someone shouted something.

"You idiots! You may not be able to make a fire, but don't you have alcohol? As long as you have ignition source, you can naturally expand the area of ​​the fire and burn a whole bunch of people!"

Upon hearing this, the others immediately understood. They all pulled out the gourds containing wine from their waists and, with a heavy heart, threw some bottles and jars of wine toward Fang Yun.

Fang Yun understood what these people meant. When the ignition materials were thrown over, the flames from his fingertips accurately struck them, and sure enough, a huge cloud of fire erupted.

The fiery cloud covered an area of ​​enormous size, instantly engulfing the swarm of insects within a diameter of several meters.

At that moment, Fang Yun saw for the first time that the ground beneath his feet had been cleared, revealing the bare ground underneath.

Fang Yun finally landed from the air and stood on the ground, panting heavily. But before he could take a few more breaths, the insects swarmed up again, forcing Fang Yun to lift himself up from the ground and return to mid-air.

"Young master, just head outside! Why worry about everything else? You'll only be able to stay inside if you don't take a chance."

Seeing that Fang Yun was unable to escape, many people also became resolute, thinking that since they had already fallen into such a predicament, there was no need to worry anymore, they should just charge straight ahead, since they would die anyway.

"Yeah, the worst that can happen is that we'll just die here, so what? It's better than dying a miserable death like this!"

The viewers were unanimous in their opinion that he should at least make a final push... Otherwise, relying solely on aerial somersaults might allow him to survive for a while, but the ultimate outcome would be exhaustion and death, a death that is even more unacceptable.

Fang Yun heard the voices of the crowd but remained unmoved; he naturally had his own plans.

If he only wanted to break out of this insect formation, he had some other ways, but they would be quite costly.

The reason Fang Yun has been lingering here is that he is considering whether there is a simpler and easier way.

Just then, he glanced back and saw Bai Poshan looking at him with a sly grin. He stood with his hands crossed, looking like he was watching a good show.

A plan suddenly flashed into Fang Yun's mind.

"You like to play, right? I'll play with you then!"

Fang Yun did not use the fire line to burn the insects again, but instead condensed another long fire line and shot it directly towards Bai Poshan at a distance of 1.4.

Bai Poshan was initially enjoying the show, as watching the enemy being tortured was quite satisfying.

But soon, Bai Poshan's smile vanished as he discovered that the rockets Fang Yun fired from such a great distance were incredibly powerful.

He was only a little slow to react, and the rocket grazed his right arm, instantly igniting the fabric and charring the skin there.

"You little rascal, you know how to use sneak attacks, huh?"

Chapter 759 Shifting the Blame East

Bai Poshan was so angry he jumped up and down, but he quickly calmed down and stared at Fang Yun with a sinister look on his face.

"Kid, what's the point of attacking me? I didn't summon these bugs with magic, so your efforts are just a waste."

Clearly, Bai Poshan thought Fang Yun's behavior was extremely foolish.

But Fang Yun didn't care and immediately launched another rocket.

Bai Poshan had no choice but to concentrate and barely dodge the arrow. The rocket in Fang Yun's hand was launched at an extremely fast speed and covered a wide area, so simply dodging it was not an easy task.

Soon, Bai Poshan was struggling to keep up, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

"Good lad, I'll play with you a little longer, let's see how long you can keep this up!"

Before Bai Poshan could react, several large holes had been burned into his body by the rocket, making him look quite disheveled.

However, he cannot go too far, otherwise, if the insects cannot smell the bait, they will naturally change direction.

Thus, Bai Poshan could only play this hunter game with Fang Yun, while on the other hand, he hoped that the insects could break through Fang Yun's defenses as soon as possible.

At that moment, Fang Yun suddenly fired three rockets, catching Bai Poshan off guard and causing him to fall to the ground.

Just then, a clinking sound was heard, and a small jar rolled out from Bai Poshan's sleeve.

Before Bai Poshan could pick it up, Fang Yun threw a hidden weapon, shattering the small porcelain bottle.

Unexpectedly, the contents of the porcelain bottle were a bright green liquid. When the bottle was shattered, the liquid inside sprayed out, much of it splashing onto Bai Poshan.

Bai Poshan hurriedly reached out to wipe the liquid away, but only managed to get some of it on his hands.

Seeing this, Fang Yun stopped using his sword to cut the insects and stopped burning them. Although the number of insects had increased to an extremely terrifying level, Fang Yun still relied on his short sword to move around in the air.

On the other side, these insects seemed to have also smelled the scent that Bai Poshan liked, and they turned around and ran towards Bai Poshan.

This secret sauce was specially prepared by him to lure these underground beetles. Now that it was splattered all over him, the insects naturally all rushed towards him.

The porcelain bottle originally had a suppressive effect, but releasing them all at once like this meant that even Bai Poshan couldn't control such a massive swarm of insects. It was like an overwhelming blizzard, leaving no one with any way to escape.

At this moment, Bai Poshan finally understood Fang Yun's intention. It turned out that it wasn't as simple as him planning his spellcasting; Fang Yun's true intention was to lure the swarm of insects towards him.
