Chapter 506: Strange Grunting Liu Jie did not falter in the attack. He pressed on and commanded the 200 Plasma Caterpillars to also join in the wreck of self-explosions. When he was done, Liu Jie put the survival of the 46 Platinum Blade Worms out of his mind. He shifted his attention to the thousands of Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects crawling out of the quicksand that were charging toward the 25 Diamond Blade Worms. Liu Jie knew that regardless of the regenerative abilities of the 47 Platinum Blade Worms, it was impossible for them to have survived the previous attack. Lin Yuan had already activated the Source Sand to coat every Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect with a thin layer of gravel. The thin layer of gravel enabled Lin Yuan to create extremely durable ferromanganese. The ferromanganese’s strength lowered the Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects’ speed, but it did not affect Liu Jie’s Battle Strategy 4. Liu Jie’s Battle Strategy 4 was not impacted by the individual insect species, for it treated every insect species produced by the Insect Queen as explosive collateral stock. Using art was the way to fight using explosives! Liu Jie totally looked like a terrorist! But, this fighting style fit the current situation to a tee. On the battlefield, everything occurred in split seconds. Now, any and all methods should be used to stop the Diamond Blade Worms’ advance. If the Diamond Blade Worms closed in on them, Lin Yuan and his team would lose their lives, much less be able to prevent the dimensional rift’s evolution. A section of the Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects charged at the 25 Diamond Blade Worms from the ground. The remaining section of the Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects was transported underground by Lin Yuan. These Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects, which were meant to be exploded, were delivered directly under the Blade Worms. Liu Jie ordered the Hurricane Owlet Moths to call upon hurricanes, so the gale force could impede the Blade Worms’ strength. The strong winds kicked up sand, which allowed Lin Yuan to control the Hurricane Owlet Moths. A large number of ferromanganese chain blades appeared amongst the flying sand. The ferromanganese chain blades sailed toward the Blade Worms, which would have instantly torn them to shreds. Due to the savage winds, the 250 Blade Worms had already slowed by at least 30%. Most of the insect species were in position. Liu Jie glanced at the 150 Shield Ladybugs in front of the Lava Dragon Lizard and gnashed his teeth. He ordered the Shield Ladybugs to spread the wings under their armor and fly toward the Blade Worms. Zhou Luo, who had been maintaining the shields, shouted, “Lava Dragon Lizard, use Elemental Release!” The lava-shielded Shield Ladybugs expanded with energy in an instant, setting the shields alight with raging fires. The Hurricane Owlet Moths stopped creating hurricanes and instead shot down from the air toward the Blade Worms. Explosions from above and below erupted in all directions. A wave of energy was redirected into the Insect Queen’s body, and its body, which had transformed into an insect base, was awash with a glowing green exterior of energy. This was how the Insect Queen looked when its energy capacity had reached the maximum. At this point, the insect army created by Liu Jie and Lin Yuan was almost all gone. Other than Lin Yuan’s Extreme Token, everyone had utilized all the power they had access to without holding anything back. Lin Yuan suddenly thought about the effects of the exclusive skill the Lava Dragon Lizard used. The exclusive skill Elemental Release allowed the Lava Dragon Lizard to release fire-elemental energy from its new head. It could significantly increase the damage of explosions. When Lin Yuan was recruiting the white-clothed followers, he had concentrated on Freezing Cold’s contracted feys at Purchase With No Loss store. Lin Yuan had only done a brief scan of Zhou Luo’s feys, so he had not noticed their abilities and exclusive skills. The Iron Bone Tearing Lizard’s abilities and exclusive skills changed considerably when it evolved to the Lava Dragon Lizard. Lin Yuan used Morbius’ True Data to check on the Lava Dragon Lizard he was riding on. [Fey Name]: Lava Dragon Lizard [Fey Species]: Iguanidae/Huge Iguana [Fey Grade]: Diamond (1/10) [Fey Type]: Earth/Fire [Fey Quality]: Fantasy I Abilities: [Strong Head Lizard Hit]: Strengthens the head and concentrates all the body’s strength to the head to strike. [Shield Tail Parry]: Strengthens the skin of the tail to turn it into a shield. Used to parry attacks. [Lizard Roar]: Uses neighing to increase the body’s blood circulation to direct blood to the lizard skin and raise its defensive ability. [Thick Shield]: Apply a double layer of thick shields to a select target. The floating double layer of shields can slow oncoming damage. [Lava Strong Shield]: Combine the body’s earth-elemental and fire-elemental energy into lava and set up a single layer of lava imbued shielding on numerous targets. [Shield Regeneration]: Broken shields are fixed using the body’s energy. As long as the body still has energy and the shield is not attacked by fire elements, the shield will be immediately recovered. Exclusive Skill: [Unbreakable Iron Bones]: Before receiving an attack, the defensive ability is raised before the fighting ability is utilized until the life is ended. [Elemental Release]: The body’s elemental energy is released onto the surface of any shield so as to increase the shield’s innate elemental properties. After looking through, if Lin Yuan was going to appraise the Lava Dragon Lizard, he would deem it as barely average. Its defensive ability was far from being as versatile and comprehensive as Shi Xu’s Silent Thunder Armored Crocodile. Moreover, Normal, Epic, and Bronze grade abilities would be especially effective on the Lava Dragon Lizard, which greatly depressed the Lava Dragon Lizard’s capabilities as a defense-type fey. However, Lin Yuan felt Unbreakable Iron Bones was special. Liu Jie, who was next to Lin Yuan, had already instructed the Insect Queen to change into the insect base and was continuously producing insect armies so as to slow down the depletion during battle. The smoke from the explosions still had not dissipated. Surprisingly, at that moment, a strange grunting resounded amid the dulled explosion sounds.
