The Dao of the Primordial World

Chapter 40 - Variant Hornets

Ever since Li Yi arrived at the Violent Zone, he felt that the elements in the world were in disorder. The deeper he went, the more intense the feeling became. If the elemental energy of the natural elements in this space was like a calm sea surface, then it would be like a typhoon that was blowing wildly and restlessly.

The people walking in the front were the Nangong Family, the Liu Family, and more than ten Sword Gods from the Han Kingdom's Imperial Palace. A group of experts picked out by the Han Kingdom Imperial Family followed closely after them, followed by a few other people from other powers. The deeper they went, the bigger the crowd became.

Suddenly, the person at the front stopped abruptly, and rushed forward without knowing what was behind it. Li Yi knew that they must have found the corpses of the several hundred people who entered the forbidden area earlier.

"Huh?!"

The crowd that was crowded to the front couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

The ground in front of him had already been dyed bright red with blood, and piles of bones were piled up into the air. However, this was not enough to surprise everyone. What shocked everyone was that there was not a single drop of blood on the body of the deceased. It was obvious that the demonic beast had already devoured it. How long had it been?! Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

"Sigh!" What should come and go will come, and one must pay a price if they want to obtain power that is greater than their own. They must pay a painful price, and what they must pay is most likely their own life. " Li Yi sighed, looking at everyone with sympathy.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz!

Suddenly, the sound of insects came from the quiet forest. Everyone looked up and saw a group of dark clouds rolling down from the left, right, and in the distance. The dark clouds covered up the entire sky, and the noise in the air gradually increased.

Everyone stared blankly at this wondrous scene without making a single sound.

"This is bad!" Those are the mutated wasps, hurry up and retreat! " Someone shouted in shock.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A mutated wasp! "Hurry up and leave."

A few of the smaller groups all retreated, while the other large families, royal families, and other large groups quickly prepared their defenses.

Seeing that the mutated wasp was about to reach him, the mage began to chant.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" How come I can't cast magic anymore? "

"What's going on?" Another mage waved his wand anxiously.

The mages howled in a daze. Unable to release magic meant death. The leaders of the large families all thought to themselves, 'Idiot. The elemental energy in the restricted region is violent and unstable. How could I release magic? It would be difficult even for a Saint level expert to display his skills here.

In a flash, the black cloud formed by the mutated wasp came over. It was a wasp the size of a fist. It opened its two rows of bright teeth and attacked them.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Help!"

"Big brother, help me!"

"Captain …"

"Teacher, my thigh, ah!"

Screams resounded through the sky as dark clouds roiled and evaporated in the air. They were not the slightest bit pitied by the screams coming from below.

Several major powers formed a defensive perimeter as sword qi shot out. Each sword qi could take away hundreds of mutated wasps' lives, but it was unable to stop the wasp's attack. It was still better for martial artists to reach the second rank. They could already form a layer of protective zhen Qi. Under the attack of the wasps, those who were only second rank turned into a pile of bones.

"Quick, charge in!" It was the Great Elder of the Liu Family. He clearly intended to continue on like this because even a second rank expert would not be able to withstand it.

Everyone advanced under the pressure of the wasp. The leader of the group was a sword god from a few large families. It was only at this moment that the strength of the sword god was truly displayed. With each swing of the sword, the mutated wasps within a hundred meters all turned to dust.

Some of the smaller groups at the back also began to form a defensive formation as they slowly advanced. Everyone had frightened expressions on their faces as they watched their good friends get devoured by the wasps. They were filled with grief and indignation.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "Save me."

One of the Warriors tripped over a pile of bones beneath his feet. Before he could stand up, he was engulfed by the mutated wasps. The moment he screamed out, the mutated wasps all flew away, leaving behind a pile of bones. His companions watched this scene in grief, but no one came out to save him. Everyone knew that leaving the group meant death, and no one was willing to throw their lives away for nothing.

The people with the most nothing to do were the few people at the back of the group. The Sword Gods moved alone without any problems, forming a defensive barrier of gold and yellow all around them as they advanced while killing the wasps. Amongst them, the one who was the most relaxed was Li Yi. He was walking leisurely as usual, there was no true energy barrier around him at all. When the mutated wasps entered within a meter of him, they all silently turned into dust. The Sword God next to him was extremely shocked. Just what kind of strength was this, killing people without being noticed, when had such a person appeared on the continent? All of them were sighing in their hearts, there was a heaven above the heavens, and there were people beyond the heavens … … A few Sword God would occasionally look at Li Yi. Li Yi acted like he did not feel anything, as he leisurely walked with his hands behind his back, looking at the battle in front of him with cold eyes. The strong preys on the weak, if you don't kill me, I will eat you, the law of nature.

Suddenly, Li Yi realized that there were two familiar faces on his left side. One of them was the young man who had accompanied him to drink wine for ten days without saying a word, and the other was the middle-aged man who accompanied him there silently. The young man was only at the second stage, while the middle-aged man was also at the first stage. At this time, the two were already at the end of their tether. The middle-aged man was extremely caring towards the young man, and at all times, he would protect him when the young man was in danger.

Li Yi thought back to the time when the two of them were drinking wine together silently, and couldn't help but reveal a smile. Li Yi's figure flashed, leaving an afterimage behind him as he instantly arrived in front of the two people. The two who were fighting desperately suddenly realised that the surrounding mutated wasps had all turned into powder, causing the two of them to be startled. They then realised that there was a brawny man beside them, and understood that it was the person in front of them who helped them out. The two of them clasped their fists and said, "Thank you, Brother, for your kindness."

Li Yi smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing, there's no need to be like this. Furthermore, we used to be drinker, it's natural for us to help friends."

"drinker? Although I, Nie Kuang am a wine drinker and a friend, I seem to have never seen anyone before in my memories. " Nie Kuang asked doubtfully.

"No need to think too much, just remember that I'm one of your drinker. You will understand who I am in the future, if you don't mind, you can call me Big Brother!" Li Yi said to Nie Kuang, "Also, the two of you, stay within a two meters radius from me."

"Greetings, big brother!" Nie Kuang was obviously happy to meet his powerful brother. Only now did Nie Kuang realize that all the mutated wasps that were within two metres of his big brother had turned to dust soundlessly. He could not help but be shocked by his brother's strength.

The two of them followed Li Yi from the left and right. Although the mutated wasps lost their rationality due to the berserk energy, they became terrified upon seeing their comrades disappearing around them soundlessly. Wherever Li Yi went, the mutated wasps would avoid him as well. The two of them looked at each other in astonishment, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of person was this cheap big brother in front of them.

People who were not ordinary would definitely attract the attention of others wherever they went. Thus, when a few people noticed that the mutated wasps were avoiding Li Yi, they immediately moved closer to Li Yi and followed closely behind him. After a while, Li Yi had more and more people gathering around him. Li Yi could not help but laugh bitterly in his heart, he did not want to attract anyone's attention, but it seemed that it was impossible now, after this journey, he would think of a way to get rid of them!

As they screamed miserably, everyone stopped moving. Their faces were filled with fear and grief as they watched their loved ones being swallowed by the mutated wasp, not daring to save them. Most of them were in pain and self-blame while their resentment towards the mutated wasp had reached an unimaginable level, making full use of every ounce of their strength to kill more mutated wasps.

Hundreds of people had already gathered behind Li Yi, all of them were first or second stage experts from small organizations or mercenary groups. There were even some Sword Saint experts mixed in the middle, all of them silently followed Li Yi as the leader.

As the trees became rarer and rarer, the mutated wasps began to scatter in all directions. Everyone subconsciously let out a sigh of relief. When they reached the edge of the forest, there were only a few mutated wasps left. Perhaps the forest was their world. Those who survived all smiled, but there was also a hint of sadness in their smiles.

Li Yi used his mind to scan the place and found that most of the level two and below experts had died, and most of the level one or two experts had died, but the Sword Saint was not injured at all. Although the Sword Saint and the level one expert were only one level weaker, the difference was like heaven and earth, and they could not be compared with each other. Li Yi sighed in his heart, This was just the beginning, of the thousands of people, only five or six hundred remained.

Li Yi looked at the hundred odd people behind him, his heart becoming soft: "This is just the beginning, it will be even more dangerous inside, if you all want to leave, I can guarantee that you all can leave safely, and we can only have this one chance, those who want to leave, please stay. If you guys want to continue moving, I suggest that you all better join forces, and maybe we can ensure your safety for a while."

Many people's eyes wavered. Remembering how terrifying the mutated wasp was, they all revealed terrified expressions. Some of them hesitantly walked over to Li Yi and bowed deeply towards him, then headed inside. Li Yi sighed in his heart, the charm of money was really great.

Li Yi looked at the seventy to eighty people remaining, and said: "Disperse, leave some space."

After the group dispersed slightly, Li Yi used his hand hand techniques and started chanting one by one, after that everyone's body was covered in a transparent shield, everyone was shocked, what kind of ability was that, they had never heard of it before, even Nie Kuang felt that it was inconceivable.

Li Yi said to the rest. "This barrier can last for half an hour, it is enough for you to leave this place. Let's go!"

Everyone did not speak anymore, they knew that the stronger they were, the more they did not want others to know their secret, they all bowed to Li Yi and turned to leave.

After everyone left, Li Yi realized that there were still two more who had not moved. These two were very young, around twenty-four to twenty-five years old, both of them were experts of the second rank.

Li Yi looked at the two of them and asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"

The two of them walked to Li Yi, knelt down with a "plop" and said: "Senior, please accept me as your disciple."

Li Yi saw that the eyes of the two were clear and their faces were firm. He thought, "This is not a place to talk, if you really want to pay my respects, then go back first. Once this is over in Free City, I will look for you two. Right, tell me your names first. "

"I am Tang Jianping, a citizen of Song!" The person on the left wore a plain robe and had a face as sharp as a knife. His eyes shone as he respectfully replied.

"I am Zero Blade Jue from the Song Nation. We were originally good friends, and we are travelling together in search of martial arts." The person on the right was also dressed in a plain white robe and looked like a scholar.

Li Yi nodded his head, blade and sword, one cold and one hot, truly a perfect match,: "You guys go back to Free City first!"

"Yes, Master." The two of them kowtowed, turned around, and left.

Li Yi was startled, but he laughed in his heart, as expected, they were two determined people who did things decisively.

"Congratulations to big brother for accepting two excellent disciples." Nie Kuang said.

"The two of them are really not bad, they can be made into something!" Li Yi said, "Let's go, I will bring you all to enjoy the even more wonderful scenery ahead!"

Appreciate the scenery! Nie Kuang and Nie Kuang were stunned!
