In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 616 Take action

Lu Yuan first glanced at the overwhelming number of borers outside the formation, then glanced at the bald Zhong Lian and the generals under his command, and then snorted coldly.

"Fellow Daoist, do you think we will be a burden to you?" Seeing this, Zhong Lian thought that Lu Yuan regarded them as a burden.

"Isn't it?" Lu Yuan still remained expressionless.

"If you think so, you are totally wrong." Zhong Lian shook his head and asked, "You are trapped in a sea of ​​​​worms, so you should also understand how difficult these borers are. Do you think you have any confidence in escaping?"

"I think I have a 70% to 80% chance of success. Otherwise, how could I find you so easily? So don't blame me for being ruthless. If I bring you along, I'm afraid I won't even have a 30% chance of success."

Zhong Lian's face changed slightly when he heard Lu Yuan claim that he was 70% to 80% sure, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a chuckle, "Fellow Daoist, you are a little too confident. The reason you were able to come here smoothly before was because most of the attention of this sea of ​​insects was attracted by us. Now that you are here too, it may not be so easy to get out easily."

"Those are all mid-level corn borers, and each of them has strength that is no less than that of an early-stage demon sect. In addition, this sea of ​​insects is completely controlled by them. In this way, I think you still have some confidence." Zhong Lian said, pointing to the dozen or so giant beetles surrounded by countless corn borers outside the formation.

"No less than the early stage of the Demon Sect?" After hearing this, Lu Yuan pretended to be unbelievable and looked over.

"If they weren't here, I believe I could have a chance of escaping from the sea of ​​insects even if I abandoned these men." Zhong Lian said as he puffed out his chest.

At this time, the giant beetles roared again, driving a large number of borers to rush towards the defensive light curtain of the formation.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Lian quickly ordered his men to retract the formation back to its original state to prevent excessive loss of their magic power.

"If it's really as you said, even if I join forces with you, I will just waste time here. What's the difference between that and waiting to die?" Lu Yuan looked at the surging borers, frowned slightly, and said with some embarrassment.

"As long as fellow Daoist is willing to join forces, it will not be difficult for us to escape from the sea of ​​insects." Zhong Lian said quickly when he saw that Lu Yuan's tone had softened.

"Oh, tell me about it." Lu Yuan was a little surprised.

"This exquisite Ruyi was given to me by the Elders of Shiyin City to save my life. It is a spiritual treasure that is no less than the Xuantian magic weapon. To be honest, with this treasure, we have been able to survive in this sea of ​​insects for several days.

I originally wanted to rely on this treasure to hold on until the reinforcements from Shiyin City come to rescue me, but now it seems a bit unrealistic, so I thought of inviting fellow Taoists to join forces.

In addition to the current defensive formation, this treasure also has a teleportation formation that can instantly teleport to a distance of a thousand miles. This insect sponge can only extend a hundred miles, so as long as the teleportation is activated, it will be easy for us to escape." Zhong Lian explained in detail.

"Since there is such a formation, why are you still trapped here?" Lu Yuan looked unconvinced.

"The problem lies with those dozen or so mid-level borers. We have tried to change the formation several times, but they interfered with us and we failed. Several of our men were even killed by the borers during the gap in changing the formation."

"But now that you have joined us, we only need to work together to hold back those mid-level borers, and then my men will take the opportunity to change the formation. After the teleportation formation is completed, we will return immediately and use the power of the formation to escape from the sea of ​​insects. Zhong Lian told Lu Yuan the whole plan in one breath, looking at him expectantly.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, his eyes moving back and forth between those mid-level borers and Zhong Lian.

"How many of those mid-level borers can you hold back?" After thinking for a while, Lu Yuan finally decided to help these demons escape.

"Four or five heads are no problem." Zhong Lian said without hesitation.

"From what you said, I have to stop the remaining majority of mid-level borers?" Lu Yuan vaguely heard the meaning of the bald man's words and asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, if you find it difficult, I can mobilize half of my men to deal with one or two of them together. But we have to wait until their mana recovers."

"No, there is no time to lose. Leave them all to me, and you will guard the formation nearby. As for your men, just let them concentrate on controlling the formation."

After saying that, Lu Yuan didn’t care whether Zhong Lian agreed or not. His figure blurred and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, there was a rumbling sound.

Suddenly, a billowing demonic energy surged out from the heads of those dozen or so giant corn borers, which was dozens of feet wide.

Before the borers could react, a ferocious demon shadow with three heads and six arms, more than ten feet tall, jumped out from the demon cloud. The six arms were either holding swords, or wielding magic spears, or directly swinging fists, attacking the giant borers below.

Even though the giant borer was extraordinary, how could it withstand the attack of Lu Yuan's Holy Demon Body? Under this terrifying power, two giant beetles exploded in an instant.

The other few that were nearby were also hit by the powerful energy, their armor cracked and flew backwards for a long distance.

The other few that were not affected no longer dared to act violently after being shocked like this. They turned around and dispersed, screaming continuously in their mouths, and then disappeared in the vast sea of ​​insects.

"The body of the Holy Demon!" When Zhong Lian first witnessed this scene, he was naturally surprised and delighted.

His men couldn't help but change their faces. After all, they had been fighting with those giant borers for a long time and knew very well how powerful they were.

And this "senior" actually killed two of them and severely injured several others with just a wave of his hand. It can be seen that his magical powers are beyond their imagination.

But soon, when Zhong Lian discovered that the giant borers that had not been killed disappeared, the nearby borers did not scatter, but continued to gather around. He immediately thought of something and shouted to his men:

"Not good, hurry up, change the formation!"

On the other side, Lu Yuan attacked again and again, killing several other severely injured giant beetles. Seeing that there were no other giant beetles nearby, he returned to the vicinity of the formation.

"Fellow Daoist, what you did just now was not appropriate. Didn't we agree to just hold them back?" Zhong Lian said helplessly.

"What do you mean? Are these bugs related to you?" Lu Yuan said unhappily when he heard it.

"Fellow Daoist, please stop joking at this time. Although you have killed half of them, there are still a few hiding. Now they are in the dark and we are in the light. When we change the formation later, we will inevitably be interfered by them in secret, and they may even summon high-level borers to deal with us." Zhong Lian said with a wry smile.
