109: Blizzard
On the battlefield!
As both sides approached their attack range, they stopped their mount spirit insects in unison, with only the combat spirit insects continuing to charge forward, tearing into each other in the center!
Zhong Wuyan stood on the back of her Crystal Scorpion, a chilling aura rising from her body. Her fighting style was different from other Gu Masters. She needed to gather the power of frost and then control it to fight!
In Wang Xiao's view, Zhong Wuyan's fighting style was like a frost mage from a previous life's online game, her attacks resembling ice-based spells!
She was a mage!
But she needed time to gather the power of frost, so if you were to face Zhong Wuyan, you had to use your strongest power to attack fiercely from the start, defeat her protective spirit insects, and interrupt her frost gathering process.
Otherwise, once she gathered a large amount of frost, her combat power would simply explode!
Zhong Wuyan stopped to gather frost, leaving only Wang Xiao and Yan Ruoyun to face the Blazing Fire team's five members!
Wang Xiao had already discussed tactics with Yan Ruoyun, and he called out, "Ruoyun!"
Yan Ruoyun immediately responded, "Understood!"
Her fingers danced, like a butterfly gracefully fluttering!
In the blink of an eye, a large number of spirit insects appeared around them: rhinoceros beetles, diamond ants, jade snakes, and other scorpions, centipedes, toads, and so on, were everywhere, and there were many of each type of spirit insect!
Looking ahead, Wang Xiao had more than a dozen rhinoceros beetles and more than a dozen diamond ants in front of him.
This was an illusion cast by Yan Ruoyun with her natal Gu, the "Phoenix Tail Mirage Butterfly." It looked spectacular, but it was all fake.
Wang Xiao pointed his hand forward: "Kill!"
Then these spirit insect illusions attacked the Blazing Fire team's five members together!
The captain of the Blazing Fire team, Tao Jun, remained calm in the face of danger and calmly commanded:
"This is an illusion! Don't panic, everyone!"
"Focus on defense and intercept the illusions!"
"Once we take down this wave of illusions, we'll focus our fire on Zhong Wuyan. We can't let her gather too much frost power, or we won't be able to fight!"
"Understood, boss!"
The other team members responded!
The Phoenix Tail Mirage Butterfly controlled light and shadow, creating spirit insect illusions that were so magical that they could move and make sounds, making it impossible to distinguish between real and fake!
The Blazing Fire team, facing countless spirit insects rushing towards them, didn't know which ones were real and which ones were fake, creating a great deal of psychological pressure!
"Swoosh!"
A rhinoceros beetle launched a charge at Tao Jun, and he directed a spirit insect to meet it!
The two spirit insects collided, but the rhinoceros beetle instantly shattered into a ball of light and disappeared!
It was a fake rhinoceros beetle!
Immediately afterward, rhinoceros beetles attacked one after another, and Tao Jun was suddenly overwhelmed!
Wang Xiao scanned with the system and knew that the person on the far right of the Blazing Fire team was the weakest.
He immediately transmitted his voice to Yan Ruoyun: "Let's take down the person on the far right first!"
"Understood!"
Yan Ruoyun immediately manipulated the illusions, partly to interfere with the other four, and partly to attack the Blazing Fire team member on the far right.
The person on the far right of the Blazing Fire team was named Huang Tao. He didn't get a chance to play in the previous match, and the Blazing Fire team lost, so Wang Xiao still didn't know his name.
Huang Tao released all of his spirit insects, shattering illusion after illusion. He found that all the attacks on him were illusions, and he relaxed a little!
Suddenly, a diamond ant rushed to Huang Tao's side, but he wasn't worried because it might also be an illusion.
Even if this diamond ant was real, he was riding a spirit insect, and he had two layers of protection. If he was attacked, other spirit insects could rescue him in time.
The diamond ant suddenly exerted force, and slammed into Huang Tao's mount spirit insect!
This diamond ant was not an illusion!
As everyone knew, diamond ants were incredibly strong. This collision was very powerful, and Huang Tao was immediately shaken, falling from his mount!
The diamond ant charged at Huang Tao, but was blocked by Huang Tao's mount spirit insect!
Huang Tao got up from the ground, and just as he breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, a rhinoceros beetle charged from more than ten meters away, leaving a long afterimage!
With a "bang!"
Huang Tao was knocked over by the rhinoceros beetle again!
This rhinoceros beetle was also the real deal!
Fortunately, Huang Tao had two layers of protection. The rhinoceros beetle knocked off one layer of shield, and he still had a layer of armor!
But his spirit insects were all restrained, and the rhinoceros beetle waved its long horn, knocking Huang Tao away again, shattering the armor on his body!
After Huang Tao landed, he immediately summoned spirit insects to rescue him through mental power.
But it was too late. A small emerald green snake had been waiting for him, and immediately bit him on the ankle.
After the emerald green snake bit him, it turned its head and left. At the same time, the rhinoceros beetle and diamond ant also broke free from their opponents and attacked the other four members of the Blazing Fire team!
Huang Tao was puzzled, why did they just let me go?
Suddenly, he felt his body getting harder and harder. He looked down and saw his body slowly turning into an emerald green statue from the bottom up!
At this moment, the giant stone bullfrog stretched out its tongue, crossed a distance of more than ten meters, and rolled away the jade statue Huang Tao had become, swallowing it directly into its stomach!
Tao Jun and the others only noticed that Huang Tao had been captured, but it was too late to rescue him!
The giant stone bullfrog swallowed someone and immediately retreated, jumping to the wall behind, spitting out Huang Tao again, adding another humanoid jade statue to the spider web!
The Blazing Fire team lost a head first!
At this time, the other four members of Blazing Fire were dealing with the overwhelming spirit insect illusions.
Each of these illusions had to be stopped, but hitting them turned them into air, wasting their strength in vain!
But they couldn't let any of them go, otherwise the ones attacking might be real spirit insects!
At this moment, a gust of cold wind enveloped the battlefield!
Zhong Wuyan's cold voice sounded: "Blizzard!"
Wang Xiao suddenly shivered, and saw a blizzard, mixed with hail and ice cones, smashing towards the Blazing Fire team's location!
The people and spirit insects of the Blazing Fire team were miserably battered by the blizzard, but correspondingly, the illusions painstakingly created by Yan Ruoyun were also smashed to nothing!
Not only were the illusions smashed, but Wang Xiao and Yan Ruoyun's spirit insects were also badly damaged!
This was truly, killing ten thousand enemies, but losing eight thousand of your own!
Wang Xiao and Yan Ruoyun quickly recalled their spirit insects.
Wang Xiao shouted: "Zhong Wuyan, you're hurting friendly forces!"
Zhong Wuyan still said coldly: "I did it on purpose!"
Hearing Zhong Wuyan's words, Wang Xiao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood: "Damn, this is the first time I've met someone more unreasonable than me!"
