Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 438

Ou Yangming looked at the two-legged lizard and sensed the faint pressure released by it. The insect powerhouse had an extremely remarkable combat power. In terms of oppression only, it was not inferior to Big Yellow at all. Needless to say, the actual combat result would be a different story. However, the insect was now lying in Multi-armed King Kong's hand and half of its body was almost smashed into bits.

Any other living creature would have died right away from suffering such a serious injury, but the insect was so stubborn that it was unwilling to take its last breath.

Ou Yangming questioned, “King Kong, why are you keeping it alive?”

“Master, this fella is still valuable.” Multi-armed King Kong waved its thick arm and glanced at the goshawk. “The Birds and the Insects are natural enemies, so I suppose it can pry an insect's mind.”

Everyone else including Jiang Jiumei became alert.

Although Jiang Jiumei was directly involved in the war, she knew nothing about the Insects' plan. If the goshawk had such an ability, it would be incredibly helpful toward the Humans.

The goshawk scoffed madly. “King Kong, since you know I have that ability, why did you steal my prey?”

“If I hadn't attacked, are you sure you can catch this fella?” King Kong sneered. It shook its arm proudly, causing the two-legged lizard to jiggle in its hand.

“Hmph, if it wasn't because of you, I could've used a sudden attack on it. What makes you think I can't catch it?” The goshawk was furious.

“You have to use a sudden attack on a tiny lizard? Hehe, you're supposed to hunt openly as I did!” King Kong laughed out loud.

The goshawk was so infuriated that its eyes kept twitching. It decided to ignore the scoundrel in the end, so it turned and said to Ou Yangming, “Master, let me try.” Ou Yangming asked in a deep voice, “How do you plan to do it?”

“The Birds have a secret technique. Once we devour an insect's brain, we'll be able to read part of its memories,” the goshawk answered without any hesitation and added after a pause, “But the secret technique is only effective against insects with wisdom. Besides, the more intelligent the insect, the more we can read.”

“King Kong, give it to it.” Ou Yangming nodded.

Multi-armed King Kong thought highly of itself whenever it faced the goshawk, but it was obedient toward Ou Yangming and dared not disobey him.

As the giant beast lifted its arm to toss the half-dead two-legged lizard into the air, the goshawk flapped its wings to pick it up with its mouth. Following that, the bird shook its head hard and used its sharp claws to rip off the lizard's head.

Wu Hanning and the other young ladies could not help but furrow their eyebrows upon seeing the gory scene, but they neither stopped it nor looked away.

The tragedy in Feiya City had affected them so much that they became immune to these situations. Moreover, they knew more people would die if the disaster was not stopped.

Even for the sake of the entire human race, they must not take pity on the creatures at all.

Subsequently, the goshawk swallowed the lizard's head without any hesitation. It squinted its eyes to express the tastiness of its food.

Ou Yangming turned to look at the beheaded two-legged lizard, which had been casually thrown to the side by the goshawk.

Even without its head, the lizard's body was not completely dead yet as it could still squirm its body. Given that half of its body was crushed, and it had lost its head, anyone could tell that it would die for sure. Nonetheless, the lizard struggled hard before its death. If a human Supreme Great Ancestor was right next to it at this moment, it would likely make that person perish together with it. The Insects' survival spirit was truly unbelievable.

Perhaps their combat power was the lowest among the Four Great Racial Groups, but they were likely the strongest in terms of survival ability.

The goshawk clacked its mouth, which was clear that it was satisfied with how its food tasted.

After some time, it suddenly widened its eyes in shock and stopped flapping its wings from the excitement.

Ou Yangming and the others tensed up. They knew very well how fearsome the goshawk was.

While it submitted itself to Ou Yangming and was not a match for Multi-armed King Kong, it would end up in a deadlock with the king kong if it fought from the sky.

The fact that the goshawk had such an exaggerated expression on its face meant that it did not stumble upon good news. Sure enough, there was a fierce look in the goshawk's eyes as it reported to Ou Yangming, “Master, I have terrible news.”

“What is it?” Ou Yangming asked in a deep voice.

“The Insects are scheming something, and they've sent plenty of their kinds here.”

Ou Yangming's face changed. “How many spirit beasts did they send?”.

Spirit beasts were not easy to deal with. Taking Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk as examples, a spirit beast from any of the races would be tough opponents.

The young fellow would be confident if there was only one of two of them, but if the number of spirit beasts became too much to handle, even he would feel helpless.

Perhaps the hidden Almighty Being was the only one that could resolve everything.

“One.”

“Oh, I see… What? What did you say?” Ou Yangming was stunned, and he asked in confusion.

“They only sent one spirit beast. They can't send more than one spirit beast or the delivery will likely fail,” the goshawk responded.

Ou Yangming took a deep breath and questioned, “Since there's only one spirit beast, why… Oh, I get it now, they sent some non-spirit-beasts.”

The other people glanced at Multi-armed King Kong and recalled the three majestic yet savage Earthly Dragon Beasts, which were killed by Ou Yangming in the end. The three great-ancestor-level beasts were not spirit beasts, but their enormous builds allowed them to be almost as mighty as a spirit beast. Since the Beasts could send non-spirit-beasts here, why could the Insects not do the same?

Furthermore, judging from the goshawk's grave expression, the others figured that the number of insects was beyond one's imagination. Indeed, the goshawk continued, “They brought nearly 100 half-spirit beasts, which even share the same bloodline.”

Zuoqiu Hongyuan could not help but remark, “The same bloodline? How lavish! I'm afraid the illusion clone you killed outside Feiya City isn't the only one.”

The Insects had exceptionally peculiar techniques, and it was not easy to form an illusion clone; it could only be done if a slightly inferior insect from the same bloodline provided its body.

In particular, the process was more difficult in this realm.

This was why after hearing about the news, they all knew the Insects were scheming something

Nevertheless, the goshawk shook its head and commented, “It's not so simple.”

“Hmph, given that the Insects brought so many of their kind from the same bloodline, they must be plotting something big.” Multi-armed King Kong had a vicious look in its eyes too. “It looks like they're planning to deliver messages to the upper realm!” By sacrificing the lives of their kind from the same bloodline, the Insects could achieve unimaginable things.

For instance, the formation of illusion clones and the ability to send information to the upper realm. Even though they required sacrifices, this was normal for the Insects.

Ou Yangming asked with a frown, “Is it difficult to convey messages to the upper realm?”

From what he remembered, not to mention the imperial family's secret realm, even the dominant aristocratic families in the eight counties could do that too.

Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk looked at each other and smiled bitterly. “Master, every race is adept in different things. The Humans are experts in the transformation of nature and the development of the environment, but the Insects are skilled in communications.”

Wu Hanning and the others instantly smiled. Ou Yangming should be proud that the two humongous creatures would reveal everything honestly to a human like him.

Ou Yangming nodded and raised another question, “Goshawk, judging from the grave look on your face, have they communicated with the upper realm already?”

“Yes. Master, your existence has been made known to the d.a.m.n bosses from the Insects in the upper realm. I'm afraid they'll send more representatives here!”

Multi-armed King Kong straightened its body lazily, but its eyes looked so fierce that two light beams seemed to be shot out from them. “Hmph, those d.a.m.n little insects! I'll tread on every one of them, and I won't let them hurt Master at all.”

The goshawk uttered coldly, “King Kong, stop boasting. The little insects are my food, so I should be the one getting rid of them.”

Seeing as the two spirit beasts confronted each other without attacking one another, Ou Yangming could not help but laugh.

This was because he sensed their sincerity. As long as they were around, he would not be harmed regardless of the number of insects.

'What if the two of them can't even protect themselves?'

Ou Yangming shook his head to get rid of the horrifying thought. If even the two spirit beasts were killed, who or what in this realm could resist the Insects?

Multi-armed King Kong grabbed the lizard on the ground and tossed it into its mouth as though it was sweet. “Master, don't worry. There's an interspatial disorder now, but they can't send too many spirit beasts here because this world's power will repel them.” It waved all of its arms and struck its chest, causing loud thuds to be heard. “I'll definitely protect you!”

The goshawk a.s.sured the young fellow as well. “Master, don't worry, I'll protect you too!” “Hmph, other than escaping, what else can you do?”

“You bulky thing! Apart from eating, what else can you do?”

Big Yellow looked at the king kong then at the goshawk before it barked, “Woof…”
