Chapter 1584: Old Insect Reappears

Chen Ling seemed to have a kind of magic.

When he spoke, Wen Ruoshui's turbulent heart gradually calmed down... Even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out how to break this situation, but the moment Chen Ling spoke, he felt a sense of absolute security.

It was as if no matter how difficult the problem was, as long as Chen Ling was there, he could find a way to solve it.

Wen Ruoshui's chapped lips parted slightly, telling Chen Ling the current predicament in detail. The two consecutive failure experiences made Wu Tongyuan and Qi Muyun first shocked, then confused, and then lost in thought...

This sounded like an unsolvable situation. After all, no matter how strong Chen Ling was, he was only one person and couldn't take care of both sides.

"The time that disaster appeared was 55 seconds after you left..."

"It was too strong, so strong that the three of us combined didn't last 20 seconds in front of it... We were all caught by it. After it observed us briefly, it began to kill us."

"The first victim was Dr. Qi, who died at 3 minutes and 40 seconds... The second was Dr. Wu, who died at 4 minutes and 22 seconds..."

"And the time you successfully rescued Ji Xuan and rushed back was 4 minutes and 56 seconds..."

"That's all the data I can provide."

In fact, when Qi Muyun was the first to be killed by the disaster, Wen Ruoshui had thought about whether to restart directly, but after thinking for a moment, he gave up the idea... He wanted to delay as much time as possible before his life ended. Even if he could provide just one more piece of data for Chen Ling after the next restart, that delay was worth it.

After listening, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Ling. In this dilemma of only two choices, Chen Ling's decision was crucial...

And judging from Wen Ruoshui's current situation, there weren't many chances left for them to restart and try again.

After listening, Chen Ling thought for a moment and then chuckled:

"I thought it was some kind of desperate situation..."

"Leave it to me."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeve, as if throwing something from his hand. That thing instantly sank into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

Immediately after, Chen Ling stomped his feet hard on the ground again, his figure piercing through the earth like thunder, rushing straight toward the direction where Ji Xuan was now!

Chen Ling's movements were so fast that Wu Tongyuan and Qi Muyun, standing nearby, didn't even react before he disappeared without a trace... Wu Tongyuan looked in the direction he left, scratching his head blankly:

"Director Chen has a way already?"

"Who is Director Chen? That's someone even Old Lu is convinced by," Qi Muyun said unhurriedly. "If he says no problem, then there's definitely no problem."

Wen Ruoshui lowered his head, looking at the ground beneath him that had begun to vibrate gradually. Both the amplitude of the vibration and the expanding cracks were exactly the same as last time...

He knew that the terrifying disaster was coming again.

……

Chen Ling's figure sped across the Gray Realm earth.

Although Wen Ruoshui's statement just now was quite short and quick, it still wasted more than ten seconds. In other words, even if he rushed to Ji Xuan at full speed now, Ji Xuan would most likely be dead already.

However, ten seconds was not uncompensatable for Chen Ling!

Chen Ling rushed to the messy battlefield. Sure enough, those skeleton disasters were already eating Ji Xuan's corpse. Chen Ling took a step, and an invisible domain suddenly expanded!

—[Card]!!

Lines of "scripts" that happened here flashed before Chen Ling's eyes. He raised his fingertips and quickly modified them using Fate Weaving.

Time returned to more than ten seconds ago.

"Even if I die! I'll drag you all to the grave with me!!"

After Ji Xuan roared, he smashed through half of a disaster with the bone spur in his hand. Immediately after, the next disaster rushed toward him fiercely!

Ji Xuan's physical strength had reached its limit. He instinctively wanted to dodge, but his body wouldn't listen to him. Just as he closed his eyes and prepared to welcome death, his ankle suddenly twisted, and he fell backward in a strange posture. A sharp bone claw brushed past his shoulder, not hurting his heart, but leaving a bloodstain on the surface of his skin.

Ji Xuan was stunned, but didn't think much of it. After all, the two disasters on the other side were also rushing toward him at the same time.

But unexpectedly, the bodies of these two disasters were too massive. When they both approached Ji Xuan and wanted to bite his body directly, they collided with each other instead, allowing Ji Xuan to escape directly through the gaps in their bones.

Having dodged three consecutive death traps, Ji Xuan, who was stunned in place, couldn't help but exclaim:

"Heaven won't let me die! I really am the Son of Heaven!!"

"Hmph, Heaven's Mandate?"

Just as the three disasters were making a comeback, a cold snort sounded above him.

Immediately after, a red shadow like a meteor smashed through the body of one of the disasters, and a terrifying sense of oppression instantly shrouded the earth!!

……

At the same time.

The earth shattered rapidly under the absorption of the hideous tree roots. A willow branch easily flicked away the sonic-speed pebble thrown by Wu Tongyuan, and the other two willow branches bound Wu Tongyuan's feet from left and right, then hung him upside down into the sky.

"Why is this thing so hard???" Wu Tongyuan's terrified cry echoed in the air.

"Damn it, I just wanted to say these things were cute a moment ago!"

Wen Ruoshui, relying on his experience of dealing with this thing last time, was the one who persisted the longest despite having no combat ability. He flexibly avoided the encirclement of one willow branch after another, but a few seconds later, he was still netted by the overwhelming willow branches.

Wu Tongyuan was already scared out of his wits. He watched the eerie eyeballs on the tree trunks examining him and shouted in fear:

"What should we do???"

"Trust Director Chen!" Wen Ruoshui said weakly. "He won't leave us alone."

"But who else can..."

Whoosh—!!

As Wu Tongyuan's voice fell, a cold light suddenly flew back from the distance, directly cutting off the willow branches wrapped around his feet. After losing the restraint of the willow branches, Wu Tongyuan fell heavily back to the earth, screaming in pain.

The next moment, the willow branches wrapped around Qi Muyun and Wen Ruoshui were also cut open one after another.

Wen Ruoshui saw the appearance of that thing clearly. It was a boning knife with centipede legs on the handle. It seemed to have its own intelligence. After spinning in the air for half a circle, the blade pointed straight at the Tier 8 willow disaster.

The willow disaster saw its food being intercepted and seemed very angry. The eerie eyeballs looked at the boning knife as if sneering.

Even if the soul of this knife was a Tier 8 disaster during its lifetime, it was just an object now... How could a knife be its opponent?

However, as the boning knife vibrated slightly and emitted a sharp explosion...

The next second,

A toad the size of a mountain and a pitch-black, eerie gecko smashed onto the earth like two meteors!!

Thump thump—!!

Two suffocating Tier 8 auras raged suddenly!!
