The Days of Being Forced to Become the Savior of a Cultivation Civilization

Squeak!

Zhiyue quickly dodged, avoiding the beetle's first attack, but the sounds of mouthparts biting and elytra trembling came from all directions.

He retreated again and again until he reached the courtyard, where a large number of black and red beetles swarmed out and began to bite at Zhiyue.

With a flash of light, a rock spike pierced the fragile abdomen of the crimson beetle, which twitched twice and died.

The other beetles did not stop at all and continued to attack Yue Zhi.

Zhiyue summoned a rock spear and swept it horizontally, splitting a large number of beetles in half. Thick, dark red blood splattered all over the ground, emitting a foul odor.

It's not just the physical stench, but also the instinctive aversion to the tragedy that drives people away.

At the same time, Kano and his companion emerged from another direction, fighting and retreating as they approached Zhiyue.

"Where did these damned bugs come from?!"

With agile movements and a bright red light flashing in his eyes, Cano kicked the beetle on the head, and the beetle immediately burst into flames.

Although these beetles lacked intelligence, they knew to stay away from danger and immediately moved away to prevent the fire from spreading.

"Tch, looks like he's not that stupid."

"Kano complained."

Xuan Ning clenched his fists, adopted a fighting stance, and quickly scanned the surrounding swarm of insects with his eyes.

She had only come to visit Kano and never expected this to happen; she hadn't brought her own weapons.

The three of them huddled together, back to back, forming a stable triangle that covered all directions.

Boom!

The sound of surging waves came from the inner zone.

As if water were falling from the sky, a large amount of spring water passed over the heads of the travelers, gushing out of the gate of the inner area and rushing towards the swarm of insects.

Just now, Yingzi returned to the inner area and took out all fifteen cubic meters of spring water from the Dixin Spring.

"I want to see if this Cleansing Spring can truly cleanse away all sorrow."

Beware of flooding!

He spread his five fingers, and the spring water flowed in an arc towards the swarm of insects.

The effects were evident.

After the insect swarm came into contact with the spring water, a large amount of dark red aura emanated from their bodies, which then dissolved in the spring water and was completely wiped away.

They seemed to regain a sliver of reason, raising their forelegs, and Zhiyue and the others could see confusion in their complex eyes.

Kano was puzzled, but a chill ran down his spine, and his fire spells went out.

"It, they, could it be, is it...?"

Zhiyue swallowed hard.

"That's right, they are all followers of the Cangmu Cult, and they are all transformed humans."

-

Hong Lan's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He saw countless Cangmu Cult followers curled up on the ground, their flesh torn and mangled, completely unrecognizable.

With a thud, an eyeball fell to the ground, but the person's flesh and blood wriggled and melted the eyeball back into the flesh.

Boom!

A huge figure crashed down from the sky.

That was Mulingar, a gigantic creature with a translucent azure body.

After being modified by humans, it was originally a biological train south of the hot spring town, but now it has lost its mind and is indiscriminately attacking the life around it.

Honglan dodged, waving her paper fan, and the wind blades accurately struck its already degenerated little eyeballs, which howled in pain.

"This is really troublesome. How can even this have an impact?"

The train was simply too big, and it took Honglan a lot of time and effort to handle it.

Mulingar began to wriggle and suddenly vomited out the train equipment inside his body, a row of seats almost hitting Honglan's head.

What's worse, there are a total of ten such trains.

Boom!

Other Mulingars are slowly emerging from underground at the station.

The skin of the believer's flesh began to harden and solidify, resembling the exoskeleton of an insect.

Then came the tentacles, six legs, and compound eyes.

One by one, people transformed into beetles appeared before Hong Lan's eyes, causing his mind to tremble and his soul to be greatly shocked.

He let out a breath and smiled with relief.

Dodging another blow from Mulingar, he looked around but didn't hear Chang Yun's voice, so he left.

He sneered:

"Alright. The Azure Mother Cult, right? The Azure Goddess, right?"

His eyes sharpened, he untied his headscarf and tossed it aside, took off the white silk hanging around his neck, and clutched it tightly in his palm:

"Then today, I will purge the heretics from the continent of Pangde!"

-

Kano: "There are so many bugs! Where are all the security guards?"

Yingzi: "I've searched. They're all below the Foundation Establishment Realm, all inside maintaining order. Coming out would just be suicide."

Indeed, many of these insects were transformed from non-rebellious individuals, and their physical strength was at the level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. How much more so those transformed from rebellious individuals?

Zhiyue: "Let's deal with that fire-breathing one first; it's a fire-path rebel!"

Yingzi reacted quickly, manipulating the water flow to smash a group of beetles to pieces.

Xuan Ning shook his flaming fist, his face grave.

"These bugs are really tough."

The fire of the Refining Yuan Realm is still too weak. The beetle whose elytra she struck with her straight punch only had a faint scorch mark left on it.

She had to strike their vulnerable bellies precisely to kill them instantly, whereas the other three little monsters could take them down one by one, or three in a row, or at the very least, one of them could entangle ten.

……

After some time, as the rock spear pierced the abdomen of the last beetle, everyone finally had some peace and quiet.

"Phew, finally cleaned up."

Kano tossed his fiery red hair and let out a sigh from the depths of his soul.

Xuan Ning patted her shoulder approvingly:

"Kano, I'm glad you didn't hesitate to attack them just because they were human."

Kano rolled his eyes:

"What? You talk like you're my boss."

Xuan Ning:

"I'm not your boss, your father is."

Zhiyue also breathed a sigh of relief:

"We can't let our guard down. Let's go out and see what's going on outside."

While everyone was fighting the swarm of insects, a constant rumbling sound could be heard outside.

When the four of them left the hall, the entrance to the hot spring village was already covered with half-dead insect corpses and a large number of broken iron tree branches, with no chance of resurrection.

With a soft thud, the last head of Mulingar was severed by a white ribbon and slammed to the ground like a soft, bouncy candy, syrup spilling all over the floor.

A man stood on an enlarged paper fan, his long hair reaching his waist, one hand behind his back, the other calling back the white silk.

He turned around abruptly, looking down at the four people with a cold and cruel gaze.

However, upon seeing the newcomer, the coldness in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by weariness.

The paper fan shrank, and Honglan fell back to the ground. A gust of wind blew by, and the white silk and turban automatically returned to their places.

He unfolded the paper fan again, fanned himself slightly, and sighed:

"It seems there are a few of you inside who are fighting alongside me."

Zhiyue nodded:

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Honglan. The swarms of insects in the courtyard have all been cleared out, and most of the passengers are safe and sound in the inner area."

Honglan nodded:

"I'm a little tired, but it's alright. It's just that I used up a lot of reverse energy. This power will offset the reverse energy."

The swarms of insects outside, including those in Mulingar, have all been dealt with. Even the mutated iron trees no longer have the ability to revive.

Yingzi silently picked up a piece of ironwood branch, her emerald eyes brightening as she examined it. Then she looked up at the withered corpses of the travelers around her, and shook her head.

"As expected. This isn't an ironwood tree at all; it's a modified eucalyptus tree."

Honglan also picked one up, but couldn't figure out what it was:

"If that's the case, then it makes sense."

He recalled the woman from the Shao Group, who, as one of the shareholders of Wenquan Township, had not followed the proper procedures but had instead made a deal with the manager, Li Yuhuan, to plant a large number of cycads there.

I initially thought it was a business tactic, but now it seems these flies have been plotting here for quite some time.

"Hmph, go back and discuss this with the boss. This Shao Group is completely lawless."
