Chapter 374: Magic Stone Mine? Demonic Devouring Insects


Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations


“Is there really a Magic Stone Mine here? I don’t think it’s reliable…” Somewhere underground, as a purple-robed middle-aged man probed deeper into the ground, he became more hesitant.


Beside him, a gray-haired 50-year-old man interrupted him directly, “Cut the crap and search quickly.”


These two were the newly dispatched search reinforcements. The one who was hesitant was Heim, and the other was called Tim. They were respectively a level-6 and level-7 Great Archmage. The two of them had just become the retainers of the Nicholas family not long ago. This was the first time they had been sent out on a mission. By now, they had been searching for a day and had already dived thousands of kilometers underground, but they had not found anything.


Heim was not the type to keep his head down and do things. Seeing that there was no hope, he started to wonder. “Is Young Master Anthony’s prediction technique accurate? Has he really learned the secret technique of the Sky Fortune Academy?”


Tim used magical power to spread the soil. Just as he was about to reply, he was suddenly stunned and said in surprise, “Hmm?!”

!!

Heim asked curiously, “What happened?” As he spoke, he spread out his soul power to investigate carefully, but there was nothing unusual.


“A lot of energy seemed to have appeared just now, but I don’t think we can detect it now… Heim, let’s explore in that direction!”


The two of them had dived down obliquely for a long time, but they did not find anything. They were both very disappointed. Tim was very puzzled. “There is still no new discovery. Could it have been sensed wrongly?”


“Perhaps it was a random surge of energy…” Heim replied casually. He was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then he said in surprise,” There are energy fluctuations! ”


“Magical Stone Mine! We’ve really found the mine!” Tim was also overjoyed.


In their soul senses, a large amount of dense divine Qi energy suddenly appeared. It was not the convergence of ordinary natural energy. The fluctuations came from a vast Magic Stone Mine!


“Sha Sha Sha…”


Before they could be happy for a while, a strange sound was suddenly heard. The two of them were shocked, and they looked around warily with their backs facing each other. At this moment, countless tiny dots suddenly surged out from the soil and rocks around them, and they were squeezed together. The bodies of these tiny dots of insects emitted an inexplicable demonic aura. They looked like earthworms, and each of them was extremely weak, but there were countless of them squeezed tightly together! As far as the soul power of Heim and Tim could detect, the soil was filled with these earthworm demonic insects!


Heim exclaimed in surprise, “What are these?!”


Tim shouted, “Watch out!”


Before the two of them could take a closer look, the surrounding earthworm demonic insects surged toward them! They were clearly in the soil and gravel, but this group of insects was like a school of fish. In the blink of an eye, they had swum in front of them!


The two of them hurriedly exploded their magical power to build a barrier. The soil and rocks a hundred meters around them were all pushed away by the magical power. Countless insects collided with the magical barrier. The barrier only lasted for a moment before it suddenly shattered under their horrified gazes! The two of them were terrified. They built the barrier again and used magical attacks, wanting to strangle the rapidly approaching large wave of insects.


Buzz! Boom!


The magical attacks exploded in the soil and rocks with muffled sounds. All their magical powers attacked the swarm of insects, instantly strangling the countless earthworm demonic insects. However, in the next moment, their magical powers inexplicably disappeared! Even the magical barrier, which had been rebuilt, was broken down by the countless swarm of insects. Like a flood breaking through a dam, the swarm of insects surged toward the two of them!


Tim was horrified. “They can devour magical power!!”


“Watch out!!” Heim roared! They tried their best to explode their magical power, but the swarm of insects that surged over was too powerful. The magical attacks that erupted from the two of them were like loosened mud sinking into the sea. They were useless! A moment later, the two of them were both drowned by the swarm of earthworms!!


… .


“Eh?!” Dick, who was searching for the Magic Stone Mine, suddenly sensed two exceptionally intense waves of magical power in the distance and immediately rushed over.


At the same time, the others beside him had also sensed the abnormality and rushed there in unison. When they got closer, everyone sent a voice transmission in confusion, “What happened?”


“I’m not sure… That area, it should be Heim and Tim…”


“Could they have encountered magical beasts?”


“Their magical power aura… Oh no!!”


After just a few words, everyone could sense that the two waves of magical power, which had been surging violently earlier, had suddenly disappeared!


“Are they… dead?!”


Thinking of this, many people could not help being shocked! From a certain direction, Kadun looked at Leonard, who was of a higher level, and asked in surprise, “Have they been killed?!”


Leonard frowned and said solemnly, “Perhaps… be careful!!”


He was using his soul power to carefully probe into the distance when his expression suddenly changed drastically. He stopped in his tracks and hurriedly exploded his magical power, building an energy barrier beside them. Kadun stopped in shock. Just as he was about to ask, his expression suddenly changed drastically. This was because at some point, the surrounding soil and stones had been filled with countless earthworm demonic insects! In the next moment, the airtight cluster of demonic insects rushed out of the soil and stones and surged crazily toward them!


Buzz!


The swarm of insects, which had twisted like a flood, collided with Leonard’s magical barrier. The barrier let out a buzzing sound like waves hitting a rock. The magical energy barrier was like a rock that had been rapidly corroded and destroyed! Kadun was shocked and hurriedly erupted with magical power to attack the swarm of insects, but it was instantly corroded!


“This! What kind of demonic beast is this?!”


Leonard’s pupils constricted, and he replied in a low voice, “It’s the Demonic Devouring Insects!!”


“Demonic Devouring Insects?!” Kadun was stunned and shouted in horror, “Don’t the Demonic Devouring Insects only appear in the desert?! How can they be here!!”


—The Demonic Devouring Insects, also known as the Demonic Devouring Sandworms, usually appeared in the desert. Apart from the queen worm in the swarm, the ordinary Demonic Devouring Insects were extremely weak. They were only one level weaker, but the greater the number gathered, the more terrifying they became! And these demonic insects could devour… magical energy!!


Whether it was the divine Qi energy of the heavens and earth, the magical energy in a Mage’s body, or even magical power, as long as it was related to magical power, they would be able to devour it all. Wherever the Demonic Devouring Insects passed, the energy would be cut off, and everything would be annihilated!


It was rumored that this kind of demonic insects could survive in an extremely harsh natural environment. Even if it did not eat anything, it could still maintain a state of suspended animation for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. When the time came, as long as it could obtain magical energy, it could still be revived! Leonard had traveled extensively in the past and had once traveled to the desert, so he recognized it immediately.


He exploded the magical power in his body and explained as he blocked the swarm of insects, “It might not be unique to the desert. It’s also possible in other environments, but the probability of them appearing is very small. There are actually so many Demonic Devouring Insects in the depths of the Calamity Mountain Range. I’m afraid their queen worm is already at level-7. Retreat quickly!!”


As they spoke, the swarm of insects had already closed in to a hundred meters away from the two of them! Their magical attacks could naturally kill the Demonic Devouring Insects in front of them, but the swarm of insects was huge. If they could kill a group, could they kill countless more?


Moreover, when a very small number of the Demonic Devouring Insects were killed by magical power, the rest would devour the magical power even more crazily, causing the magical power to decrease greatly and rapidly. Even though Leonard was already a top Great Archmage, it was difficult for him to withstand the rapid consumption of such a huge amount of magical power. If they did not break through the encirclement of the insects quickly, they would die from exhaustion!


For instance, Heim and Tim earlier could not even last for a moment!
