Otherworldly Desert Dust

Chapter 214 - 170: Mantis Blocking the Chariot

Millions of cubic meters of reservoir water surged, and the surrounding mountains were collapsing.

Amid the collapsing mountains and tsunamis, Wu Hen also found it hard to escape the fierce power and simply let himself be tossed around in the torrential mountain flood.

When the surrounding mountain scape had slightly calmed, Wu Hen then leaped out from the mountain flood.

Wu Hen looked around and saw the continuous mountains reduced to an apocalyptic scene, smashed to pieces, collapsed areas, and most importantly, the vast vegetation stripped bare, not a single intact tree.

Looking toward the direction of the city, all buildings were destroyed, tunnels and overpasses had also turned to dust.

Fortunately, he had hidden in this sparsely populated area at the first moment; had it swept through the populated cities, he couldn’t imagine the instant casualties reaching a hundred thousand!

Above the devastated forest, two Silver Winged Mantises pursued him.

Their cool, mountain horn-like faces slowly turned, and their blade-sharp, slender compound eyes scanned the chaotic mountain landscape like precise instruments.

Mantises are predators in the Insect World, often like silent dancers, silently approaching their noisy enemies.

Their vision is very special—it doesn’t just capture movement but seems able to sense the heat emitted from an enemy’s body...

Wu Hen initially wanted to hide in the chaotic forest to perform Breathing Control for a while to recover some Qi and Holy Breath, but the two Silver Winged Mantises followed his scent right to him, which astounded him!

"How did they find me?"

Logically, he was hidden in a collapsed mountain fissure with a lot of soil and rocks above his head.

Unless the two Silver Winged Mantises had x-ray vision, there was no way they could have found him hiding there!

"Swoosh!!"

"Swoosh!!"

Vacuum Blades!!

Two spiraling Vacuum Blades ferociously scraped towards his hiding place.

The mountain rocks were sliced open like tofu, and two long kilometers of cracks appeared on the already fragmented rock layer of the surface, caused by these two Vacuum Blades.

Wu Hen’s entire body tightened in fright.

Such terrifying Perception abilities, these two Alien Insects were too formidable, if things continued this way, wouldn’t he have to prematurely reveal his Divine Skills weapons??

They flapped their wings, having already broken the sound barrier, creating a misty aura around their silver wings, forming an exaggeratedly large cloud-like form around them.

Wu Hen observed from underneath the water.

The air here was sufficiently moist; this moisture actually provided some resistance to their high-frequency vibrating wings. Despite that cloud-like substance surrounding their silver wings, it actually added to the burden of their wings...

"If I could control this water vapor, dealing with them would be as easy as flipping my hand over."

Wu Hen hesitated, wondering whether to unleash the Bronze Evil Spear now, which would hurl thousands of cubic meters of water from the lake at them, ensuring the certain death of the two Silver Winged Mantises...

As if in tune with Wu Hen’s thoughts, the Bronze Evil Spear within his body suddenly shone with a faint light, followed by numerous inscriptions emerging densely on his arm. These ancient and mysterious inscriptions contained a strange summoning force, allowing Wu Hen to resonate with all the Water Spirits around him!

"So it is, are these inscriptions what agitated the rivers in the Scroll Realm?"

"Too bad, if you were a grab fork, I would easily claim the title of Water Army Commander!"

Without needing to summon the Bronze Evil Spear, Wu Hen could use its Divine Skills.

That should be enough to resolve the crisis at hand!

...

The two Silver Winged Mantises, like alien killing machines, still scanned for signs of life over the lake surface.

They were very patient; while Wu Hen hid in the water, they waited on the surface, ready to kill him the moment he surfaced.

Suddenly, a towering column of water erupted, and a person stood atop the rising water, resembling a dragon prince in the water.

His skin glistened with an ancient, dark glow, and the mysterious inscriptions radiating Dark Energy formed a vast Palm Domain, invisibly supporting the astonishing water volume of the mountain lake!

The entire mountain lake took on a long-plate shape, but the Palm Domain woven from inscriptions already completely controlled it.

The two Silver Winged Mantises were unable to perceive this power. Their bladelike eyes flickered, and their narrow mouths opened as if mocking prey that had delivered itself to death.

"An insect is still an insect, not realizing it’s about to die!"

"Ever heard of the saying, ’mantis trying to stop a chariot’?"

"Die for me!"

Wu Hen swung his arms, pulling the entire mountain lake with the inscriptions!

Suddenly, the extremely calm lake transformed into a Primordial Ancient Beast, and the lake suddenly burst forth, opening its devouring maw!
