Chapter 2196 The Demon Beast Army Displays Its Skills, and the spoils are in their grasp.
The Cicada's Song - A Timeless Melody!
This is a demonic beast capable of eradicating the cicadas and autumn dew.
Although each ancient cicada produces very little autumn dew.
However, when a large number of ancient cicadas gather together, the amount of cicadas and autumn dew that are eradicated must be astonishing.
Chen Xuan never expected that after he killed the Thunder Gathering Spirit Bird, a Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Cicada would come to snatch the Thunder Gathering Spirit Bird's essence blood.
"Hehe, it's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to me without any effort!"
Chen Xuan looked ecstatic.
Taking advantage of Wan Nian Han Chan's inattention, he swiftly pointed his finger in the air.
A barely perceptible mark of immortal power swiftly landed on the Ten Thousand Year Cold Cicada.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Xuan directly draped the concealing veil over his body.
After making sure that not a trace of his aura was being released, he stood quietly to the side, waiting for the ancient cicada to leave.
Squeak!
The cicada, which has been growing for thousands of years, flutters its transparent wings merrily.
It greedily absorbed the essence and blood from the Thunder Spirit Bird's body.
Only after it drank its fill did it stand up with its round belly.
It flapped its transparent wings and calmly shot off into the distance.
call!
The speed of the cicada in the eternal winter is not very fast.
However, it was completely transparent, and even Chen Xuan's divine sense could not accurately detect its whereabouts.
Chen Xuan could only track the Ten Thousand Year Cold Cicada by using the immortal power mark he left on it.
"Luckily, I had some backup plans. Otherwise, I probably would have lost track of this ancient cicada long ago!"
Chen Xuan looked very happy.
As he spoke, he casually made a gesture and silently collected the corpse of the Thunder Spirit Bird.
Although this Thunder Spirit Bird had a lot of its essence and blood absorbed by the Ten Thousand Year Cold Cicada.
Chen Xuan cut off another pair of its wings, but its corpse was still quite rare.
Even in its current form, if it were traded outside, it could bring Chen Xuan a considerable amount of mid-grade immortal stones.
"gone!"
Chen Xuan muttered something under his breath and followed the Ten Thousand Year Cold Cicada at a leisurely pace, shooting swiftly towards the depths of Thunder Origin Valley.
About an hour later, Chen Xuan noticed that the ancient cicada he had tampered with had finally slowed down.
"Could it be that we've already reached the lair of the Eternal Cicada?"
Chen Xuan looked surprised.
The Cicada's Song - A Timeless Melody!
This is an ancient spirit insect that has only appeared in ancient classics.
Chen Xuan only knew that the Ten Thousand Year Cicada was also a kind of monster that liked to live in groups.
Apart from that, he knew nothing about the habits of the Ten Thousand Year Cicada.
In order not to alert the enemy, Chen Xuan naturally dared not get too close.
Hiding in the shadows, he activated the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye and carefully surveyed his surroundings.
Once he confirmed that the Ten-Thousand-Year Cicada had indeed reached its lair, Chen Xuan made a silent move and approached the lair without making a sound.
After waiting for only the time it takes to eat a meal, Chen Xuan finally appeared in an enormous valley.
Here, terrifying power of lightning surged all around.
A terrifying chill swept out.
Upon closer inspection, he saw a huge cave only a hundred feet away from him, from which a violent, chilling aura, like white mist, rolled in from the depths of the cave.
From a distance, it looked like a phantom-shaped dragon rushing directly towards the outside of Leiyuan Valley.
"If I hadn't followed this ancient cicada here, I probably would never have found such a secluded place in my entire life!"
"Especially this cave that exudes a terrifying chill, it's incredibly eerie!"
"No wonder there are countless ancient cicadas here!"
Chen Xuan gazed at the distant cave emanating a chilling aura, and his expression instantly lit up with elation.
However, he did not rush directly into the cave at the moment.
Instead, after careful observation, they discovered that many of the ancient cicadas were going in and out of the cave entrance.
Once he confirmed that there were no other caves nearby emitting cold air, Chen Xuan instantly realized that the only exit from the Ten Thousand Year Cold Cicada's lair was right in front of him.
"If I completely seal this exit with the Big Dipper Formation, wouldn't that mean I'd have a chance to trap all these ancient cicadas inside?"
"Then, I'll use my army of demonic beasts to kill the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Frost Cicada. Wouldn't that allow me to obtain the Frost Cicada's Autumn Dew?"
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.
An undisguised look of excitement appeared on his face.
Taking this opportunity, he pointed his finger into the air.
Soon, the Big Dipper Array formation disc appeared in his hand.
"go with!"
Chen Xuan let out a low, furious shout.
Dozens of battle flags, under his control, nimbly disappeared into the soil.
In just a short while, Chen Xuan had successfully set up the Big Dipper Formation.
At this moment, Chen Xuan no longer hesitated.
hum!
With a flick of his finger, hundreds of mid-grade immortal stones were directly added to the array plate.
Soon, terrifying beams of light from the array flags that had sunk into the ground shot into the sky.
Before long, a huge protective array of light formed at the entrance of the cave.
It completely enveloped the entire cave entrance.
At this moment, all the ancient cicadas that had been entering and leaving the cave were blocked.
It continuously spewed out bursts of dense, cold air towards the light screen of the Big Dipper Array.
Unfortunately, this cold air posed no threat to the Big Dipper formation.
It couldn't even make the light barrier of the Big Dipper array sway slightly.
Upon seeing this, a mocking smile appeared on Chen Xuan's lips.
"They're nothing but a bunch of early-stage Celestial Immortals, ancient cicadas. Since that's the case, then I won't hold back!"
The instant he spoke, Chen Xuan's mind stirred, and the swarm of gold-devouring insects and the army of iron-tailed scorpions appeared almost simultaneously.
Soon, Chen Xie and Chen Chong also appeared.
"I've met the master!"
The two demonic beasts bowed respectfully to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan nodded and pointed to a cave not far away, saying, "Inside there is a group of ten-thousand-year-old cicadas. You two will command the demon beast army to hunt them down."
"Yes!"
Chen Xie and Chen Chong agreed in unison.
Soon, the two of them each commanded their respective swarms of gold-eating insects and their army of iron-tailed scorpions, and quietly made their way towards the distant cave.
The overall cultivation level of the Gold-Eating Insect Swarm was significantly higher than that of the Iron-Tailed Scorpion Army.
Moreover, their defensive and offensive capabilities surpass those of the Irontail Scorpion army.
Therefore, the gold-devouring insect swarm was now fully engaged in the main attack.
As for the Irontail Scorpion army, Chen Scorpion did not allow them to launch a direct frontal attack.
Instead, it caused all ten thousand Iron-tailed Scorpions to burrow underground.
The plan was to have the Irontail Scorpion catch the Eternal Cold Cicadas off guard while they were being forced into retreat.
hum!
In the void, fifteen thousand gold-devouring insects suddenly launched an attack.
All the gold-devouring insects became incredibly frenzied and savage at this moment.
They flapped their wings incessantly, charging madly toward the Eternal Cold Cicada.
Although the cultivation level of these Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Cicadas is a whole realm higher than that of the Gold-Eating Insect Swarm.
Faced with the sneak attack of 15,000 gold-devouring insects, the ancient cicada at the cave entrance was completely thrown into disarray.
Like headless flies, they scurried around aimlessly.
Occasionally, a few sane insects would attempt to attack the Gold-Eating Insect Swarm, only to be overwhelmed and torn to shreds by the swarm.
The moment the two groups of spirit insects made contact, the Ten Thousand Year Cicada's side was thrown into complete chaos.
Soon, they suffered a series of defeats.
At that very moment, Iron-Tailed Scorpions, commanded by Chen Xie, suddenly launched a sneak attack from underground.
Those ancient cicadas that tried to escape back to their caves were caught off guard.
His body was pierced directly by the terrifyingly powerful tail hooks.
He was killed on the spot without even letting out a scream.
Chen Xuan, who was in the distance, naturally saw all of this clearly.
Seeing that the two armies of demonic beasts had completely gained the upper hand through surprise attack and numerical superiority, Chen Xuan was overjoyed.
"Haha, it seems that your training with the Gold-Eating Insect Swarm and the Iron-Tailed Scorpion has been very effective during this period."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to face these early-stage Celestial Immortals with such ease."
Chen Xie and Chen Chong were overjoyed.
"Thank you for your praise, Master. We will definitely continue to work hard in the future," Chen Chong said with a smile.
"Yes, Master, we certainly won't let you down. Although our Irontail Scorpion army is relatively weak overall, I believe that one day I will make its combat power terrifying," Chen Scorpion said.
"Well, I believe you!"
Chen Xuan nodded.
He then refrained from disturbing the two demonic beasts.
Despite Chen Chong and Chen Xie's command of the two demon beast armies, they continued to launch attacks.
After about half a cup of tea's time, almost all the ancient cicadas at the cave entrance were hunted down.
Looking at the corpses of the ancient cicadas scattered all over the ground, Chen Xuan did not waste any of them.
With a casual gesture, he collected them all, intending to feed them to the Gold-Eating Insect swarm.
"Let's go! Let's keep going in."
Chen Xuan waved his hand, and he and the two demonic beasts cautiously continued forward.
The deeper one goes into the cave, the thinner and thinner the power of the lightning attribute becomes.
However, the icy chill grew stronger and stronger.
Even when they reached a distance of several hundred feet, Chen Xuan clearly felt a terrifying chill coming towards him.
Even this mid-stage Celestial Immortal powerhouse felt extremely cold.
"The cold air here is so intense; it seems to be a perfect place for the millennia-old cicada to live!"
"Doesn't this mean that there's a high probability that cicadas and autumn dew exist here?"
Chen Xuan looked around as he walked.
The anticipation in my heart has reached its peak at this moment.
However, Chen Xie and Chen Chong dared not be careless.
Commanding the Iron-tailed Scorpion and the Gold-Eating Insect, they proceeded steadily and surely.
The goal is to kill all the Eternal Cold Cicadas that pass by.
As a result, the three of them slowed down considerably.
Just one day later, when all the ancient cicadas in the cave had been hunted down, Chen Xuan, Chen Xie, Chen Chong, along with the Gold-Eating Insects and the Iron-Tailed Scorpions, finally appeared in a natural hall at the deepest part of the cave.
It's bitterly cold here.
Even Chen Xuan had to cast a fire-attribute light shield on himself to resist the invasion of the surrounding cold air.
"The chill here is noticeably stronger than elsewhere. In that case, let's search the area; we should be able to find some 'Autumn Dew'!"
Chen Xuan was overjoyed.
He asked Chen Xie, Chen Chong, Chen Li, and Chen Quan to help him find the whereabouts of Han Chan Qiu Lu.
After only half a cup of tea's time, Chen Li's delighted voice suddenly rang in Chen Xuan's ears.
"Master, come quick! I've found the Cicada Autumn Dew!"
