Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

When Leonard and Kadun were attacked by the swarm of Demonic Devouring Insects, many other people in other places were also simultaneously attacked. Magical energy exploded, and soul power spread in all directions, shouting, “Help!”

This large cluster of countless Demonic Devouring Insects seemed to have appeared out of thin air, catching everyone off guard! Appearing out of thin air was another characteristic of the Demonic Devouring Insects apart from their ability to devour magical power. In addition to devouring magical power, they could also block their own magical aura. In a pseudo-sleeping state, they were no different from lifeless soil and stones. They could not be distinguished at all!

In other words, long before anyone had sensed it, they had stepped into the cluster of Demonic Devouring Insects and were surrounded by the Demonic Devouring Insects which were like soil and stones. Therefore, now that the cluster of Demonic Devouring Insects had launched an all-out attack, no one could react in time and they were immediately in danger!

“There are too many Demonic Devouring Insects! We can’t block them! We can’t break through!!”

As he exploded magical power to block the swarm of insects, Kadun used his soul power to search the surroundings. Then, he could not help but tremble, and great despair appeared in his eyes.

The swarm of Demonic Devouring Insects that had surrounded them seemed to be endless. At this moment, the magical barrier built by the two of them had already shrunk to a radius of ten meters. At this rate, in less than a minute, they would be drowned by the swarm of Demonic Devouring Insects! Leonard kept silent, his expression grave. He had also detected the dense swarm of insects that seemed endless. He was a little hesitant. Should he use the explosive magical power that would harm him…

As he was resisting the encirclement of the insects, Leonard’s soul power seemed to have detected something. An uncontrollable look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes!

Buzz!

With a buzzing sound, the scorching heat of a powerful Strange Sacred Flame spread throughout the entire underground area. A scorching sun suddenly lit up in the dark underground, suddenly turning into a large and powerful golden sea of flames! It was the Sun-Devouring Flame!!

The Sun-Devouring Flame could devour the scorching sun, and its power did not decrease at all in the pitch-black underground! The might of the golden Flames erupted, and a sea of flames swept out, the tongues of flames devoured. After it had surged, the soil and stones remained the same. The Demonic Devouring Insects, on the other hand, were instantly reduced to nothingness by the flames! In the golden sea of flames, a figure was rapidly approaching where Leonard and Kadun were.

The countless Demonic Devouring Insects could not devour the magical power in the Sun-Devouring Flame at all. This was because as soon as they touched the flames, they would be instantly incinerated by the golden sea of flames without even having the time to open their mouths. No matter how many of them there were, it was useless! Soon, Dick brought the golden flames to where Leonard and Kadun were and burned a huge opening on the wall of insects that was tightly wrapped around them.

Leonard and Kadun did not say anything. They flew directly to Dick and heaved a sigh of relief. Their lives had been saved.

Without further ado, the three of them flew forward. Dick controlled the vast Sun-Devouring Flame and continued forward. The Strange Sacred Flame displayed its might and burned countless Demonic Devouring Insects, saving everyone who was in danger one by one. As countless Demonic Devouring Insects appeared and were burned, Dick and the others gradually sensed something which made them happy. Deep underground, the extremely dense energy of magic stones was surging upward!

“We’ve found it!!”

“It’s the Magic Stone Mine!!”

“Those Demonic Devouring Insects must have blocked the magical energy of the magic stones, so we couldn’t find it!!”

Everyone was overjoyed. The Magic Stone Mine, which they had searched so hard to find, was actually below!! It was really as what the people in the east said, when one looked back at twilight, what one had been searching for was right here in the dim light. Dick was also very surprised. After Zoro and the others had arrived and gathered, he used the Sun-Devouring Flame to open the path, incinerating the endless Demonic Devouring Insects and charging down!

The further down they went, the more Demonic Devouring Insects they encountered. They all surged toward everyone from all directions like moths. Countless Demonic Devouring Insects surged toward the golden flames that were as bright as the sun, and then they were all completely burned in the sea of flames. As the endless Demonic Devouring Insects gathered to court death, the golden flames were like pulling in the net, rolling up the huge curtain formed by the convergence of countless Demonic Devouring Insects…

The Magic Stone Mine, which had originally been covered by the large net, gradually appeared within everyone’s perception range! It seemed that this huge Magic Stone Mine had been blocked by the endless swarm of Demonic Devouring Insects, which was why it was so difficult to find!!

These countless Demonic Devouring Insects were like parasites that had inhabited the Magic Stone Mine. They had absorbed the magical energy of the mine collectively to grow and become stronger. As such, they had formed such a huge and unparalleled tribe today. Dick and the others had come to find the Magic Stone Mine, and it was almost as if they were snatching magic stones from the Demonic Devouring Insects. Naturally, they were besieged and attacked by the endless swarm of insects.

When the Demonic Devouring Insects were migrating over to attack, some parts of the thick net had been exposed for a moment, so it had been detected. By now, when the huge net of insects had been lifted, the Magic Stone Mine that had been revealed seemed to be just a corner of an iceberg. Seeing this, everyone was already pleasantly surprised! To be able to nurture such a vast number of Demonic Devouring Insects, it meant that this Magic Stone Mine was far larger than what they had predicted!

“Strange… the Demonic Devouring Insects have started to retreat!”

“The center of the retreat must be the nest of the Demonic Devouring Insects!”

As everyone got closer and closer to the Magic Stone Mine, they suddenly discovered that the swarm of Demonic Devouring Insects, which had been surging over to court death, had actually started to retreat rapidly. Like a receding tide, they all retreated toward a certain area. As the endless swarm of insects retreated, a huge Magic Stone Mine gradually appeared in front of them…

“It’s actually so huge!”

“It’s bigger and better than the Magic Stone Mine obtained by the Carefree Sect a thousand years ago!”

“Do you want to pursue the group of Demonic Devouring Insects?”

“The area where they converge should be the center of this Magic Stone Mine.”

“The queen worm of this huge swarm should be in that nest. To eliminate the Demonic Devouring Insects completely, we must kill the queen worm!”

“Yes! If we want to dig for magic ores in the future, we have to deal with this huge group of Demonic Devouring Insects.”

“There’s no need to be so anxious to eliminate the Demonic Devouring Insects, right?”

“It’s good that we have found the Magic Stone Mine. We can take our time with the other issues.”

“…”

After some discussion, in the end, everyone looked at Dick and Zoro. It was not known what the leader was thinking…

Zoro thought for a moment and looked at the person beside him. “Dick, what do you think?”

Dick smiled gently. “I still have some magical power. Shall we go to the nest of the Demonic Devouring Insects to investigate? If it’s too difficult to resolve, we’ll retreat, take a break, and call for reinforcements.”

The Sun-Devouring Flame was very lethal to the swarm of Demonic Devouring Insects. He was also confident now. Even if he could not destroy the entire insect nest alone, he could ensure that their team would be able to retreat in time. When the time came, he would summon Ron. With the two Strange Sacred Flames working together, this large swarm of insects would not be a problem.

After hearing Dick’s words, Zoro nodded in agreement. “Alright, let’s go to the nest of the Demonic Devouring Insects to take a look!”

Then, a large group of people advanced in the direction the Demonic Devouring Insects were retreating to.
