Chapter 344: Ambush
The mouth was still squirming around, trying to absorb the energy from the sand and churning them into her own power.
Qin Feng’s Hell Magma turned those sands into mouth-burning medicines instead.
Sssssss...
It was the sound made by the Golden Sand Worm Queen that had been scorched.
Ouuuuuu!!
The Golden Sand Worm Queen was screeching in pain.
Qin Feng covered his ears with his consciousness energy.
The other aptitude users who were weaker than Qin Feng felt as if their brains had been shaken.
But the swarms of Golden Sand Worms did not stop their frenzied attacks against these people.
“Cover it with cannon rounds, hit the queen’s weak points!”
Hu Liang continued giving the order to attack. The gunslingers who were standing from a distance began to attack in a frantic manner.
Lin Shi once again found his use. On his shoulder was a huge barrel aiming straight at the Golden Sand Worm Queen.
A translucent cannon round hit the giant mouth of the queen.
Boom!
It produced a deep rumble that made them feel as if a huge energy was unleashed.
The attack had severely wounded the queen.
However, the attack knocked the queen away from the hell magma.
The huge creature rolled around and fell to the ground.
The aptitude users were manic.
The Golden Sand Worm Queen was previously covered by innumerable insectoids. Only Qin Feng and Bai Li could step into their territory like nobody’s business.
Now that the queen had been knocked back a few hundred meters, there were visibly fewer insectoids around her.
Lei Chang stepped on one of the golden sandworms. He raised his long sword that was covered in lightning.
“Lightning sword!”
“Kill!”
A glow appeared on his sword as he slashed against the queen’s body.
However, at that moment, the Golden Sand Worm Queen’s feet began to turn around. The queen was now back on her feet.
Clang!
The queen’s jade-white carapace turned into sharp blades that pierced toward Lei Chang.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Lei Chang’s internal hard qi was rippled by the attack. Before Lei Chang could land the attack, he was knocked back!
Screech!
The Golden Sand Worm Queen sounded a long whistle. The numerous golden sandworm around her crawled into her abdomen. A bone-crushing sound followed soon after.
The Golden Sand Worm Queen quickly recovered from her ails.
The queen healed herself by consuming the rest of the golden sandworms.
“Steady lads, don’t rush in without a plan!” yelled Hu Liang.
Lei Chang turned pale. Was he referring to him?
At that moment, the insectoids began their frenzied rush to protect the queen, forcing the humans into retreat.
They might all be D-tiered aptitude users, but the number of insectoids was far too enormous.
Boom!
Qin Feng took his time in pursuing the Golden Sand Worm. A fiery glow appeared from his sword as he severed the heads of the surrounding golden sandworms.
“Hellfire Carpet!”
Qin Feng charged into the middle like a lone ship in the middle of a sea of worms. A ship that was struggling but unsinkable.
The fire was spreading.
After going through seven to eight days of battle, the hellfire carpet’s true potential had been unshackled by Qin Feng.
As soon as Qin Feng raised his hand, a huge flame that covered the earth consumed up to a hundred meters in range.
All the insectoids that were within the range screeched out in pain. They were burnt into ashes by the flame.
The wings of the peacock carried Qin Feng forward.
At that moment, only Qin Feng dared to enter deep into the insectoid territory.
He covered a hundred meters in a flash.
“Hell magma!”
A pool of magma appeared once again underneath the Golden Sand Worm Queen.
Beneath the Queen’s feet, a golden light appeared to shield the magma.
“Magma pillar!”
Qin Feng’s consciousness energy pierced through the golden shield. By manipulating the fire-elemental runes, the magma pillar delivered a violent blow against its target.
The Queen once again lost her balance.
On the other side, Lin Shi was ecstatically pushing the trigger on his energy cannon. He was sending rounds to the Golden Sand Worm Queen as well.
Screech!
The Golden Sand Word Queen made a somersault to dodge the rounds. It would not be easy to hit her again.
Qin Feng did not give her time to recover. Magma pools appeared incessantly underneath the Golden Sand Worm Queen’s feet.
Although they were not causing large damage to her, at least the magma pools prevented the Queen from absorbing the ground’s energy.
Soon after, Qin Feng sheathed his Verdant Emperor Saber.
The Queen had exceptional defensive points, she might even be immune to runic attacks. Perhaps physical attacks might do the trick?
Qin Feng’s speed exploded in a moment.
“Dragon Steps!”
“Dragon Slam!”
Qin Feng raised his hand. A 3-meter long dragon claw that was infused with heavy internal qi mauled onto the Queen’s carapace.
Clack!
A large tear appeared on the jade-like carapace.
Jackpot!
Qin Feng quickly blinked onto the Queen.
“Asteroid Assimilation! Negate!”
In a blink of a second, an enormous surge of internal energy expanded Qin Feng’s physical energy by the multiples.
Bam!
One punch and the Golden Sand Worm Queen’s outer carapace became fragmented.
Bam!
Another punch.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Qin Feng was delivering blows after blows on top of the Golden Sand Worm Queen. The whistling sound produced by the internal energy was deafening.
The Golden Sand Worm Queen turned her carapace into sharp blades to stab Qin Feng. However, they were all blocked by Qin Feng’s internal hard qi.
Qin Feng’s blows were hitting her weak spots!
Screech!
The Golden Sand Worm Queen could not break free from Qin Feng.
Suddenly, a flash of golden light appeared.
The Queen’s body rapidly became smaller.
“Oh no! The Queen’s escaping!” Hu Liang roared in anger.
It was common knowledge that beast emperor-level creatures could shapeshift. When a large beast emperor is in fear, it could shrink itself to a size that is virtually undetectable. It was their unbeatable advantage.
They cannot let the beast emperor escape at this moment!
Qin Feng held on to the beast emperor as best as he could. But right at that moment, a cannon round barreled toward him!
It was Lin Shi!
The cannon round was lethal. If it could wound the Golden Sand Worm Queen, it could naturally wound Qin Feng as well.
Qin Feng sternly twitched his eyes.
“Turn!”
His high mental strength had directly interrupted Lin Shi’s control of the cannon round.
The round turned toward another direction and self-destructed.
The blast took out the golden sandworms on the ground.
Lin Shi’s face turned pale.
The cannon round was very costly. It was meant to be used against beast emperor-level creatures.
Qin Feng diverted his cannon rounds to hit the average golden sandworms is akin to firing artillery shells at mosquitoes.
“Damn!” Lin Shi was furious. He passed on a message with his consciousness energy. “Don’t let the Queen escape! Quickly, go for the beast emperor crystal core!”
Lin Shi was obviously trying to interrupt Qin Feng’s effort by directing everyone toward him.
The other aptitude users were stunned for a while. Moments later, their eyes lit up.
The fact that they could be at their level was not because of their impulsive natures. Nor it was because they only knew how to take orders.
But when the prize is on the line, the aptitude users were tempted to spring into action.
“Charge!”
“Kill!”
The crowd was screaming. Gradually, blood filled their eyes. Their sight was set upon Qin Feng’s location.
After all, the beast emperor only attacked Qin Feng!
Qin Feng grinned.
The Queen was hiding in the shadows, waiting for her turn to massacre the crowd. These people thought the Queen was like a sheep to the slaughter, they’ve even made Qin Feng their enemy!
How laughable!
