Chapter 323 The Person Who Discharges Electricity and the Bird That Eats Electricity
With a thought, the chang spear in his hand was instantly covered by the electric arc that Lei Xiu had suddenly unleashed, and the spearhead emitted a blinding flash of electricity.
With the added advantage of his talent, Lei Xiu's movements became even more fluid. The insects, which were already somewhat powerless to resist, were now being cut down like melons and vegetables in his hands.
Even when chopping vegetables, such continuous swinging would tire anyone. Insects are not feared for their individual fighting strength, but for their sheer numbers and well-trained collective coordination, which is what makes other creatures tremble in fear.
The saying "Many ants can kill an elephant" is not just a saying.
As an old adversary of the insects, Lei Xiu certainly wouldn't let his guard down. With each swing of his chang spear, no insect remained unscathed in its wake. The buzzing of the spear, coupled with flashes of purple lightning, had become a nightmare for this wave of insects in the Endless Abyss.
After clearing the area in front of him, Lei Xiu had also completed his power-gathering. His black wings spread open, and the strange eye patterns on the wings resembled the eyes of death, staring intently at the prey below, as if he could kill the insect with a flick of his finger.
Furthermore, Lei Xiu's aura grew stronger, and the swarming Zerg were so intimidated by him that they stopped in their tracks, not daring to make a move.
Undeterred by the insect's apparent weakness, Lei Xiu twisted his wrist, wielding the chang spear with great force, and raised his body slightly to allow the attack to have a wider reach.
Sensing that Lei Xiu's next attack was not simple, the insects no longer sat idly by. Instead of retreating, they were aroused and some of them spread their carapaces and spread their fragile wings to fly into the sky, trying to confront Lei Xiu. Most of them rushed towards Le Zhi, who was guarding the fur ball.
They haven't forgotten that Lezhi is targeting their precious food.
Even if death is inevitable, I must deal with Rakuchi before I die.
Lei Xiu certainly wouldn't let them succeed. Before the insects could even reach the fur ball, Lei Xiu's attack had already landed.
The waving spearhead continuously emitted electric current, which struck the insects. Their supposedly hard shells were useless against the current, and were instantly pierced through, giving off a smell of roasted meat.
Before the electric attack had dissipated, another strike followed immediately. Moreover, the previous electric currents did not dissipate but instead interconnected, forming an electric grid. In order to form an encirclement, the insects inevitably had to gather together, making it easier for Lei Xiu to attack. This move was an inspiration he had gained while traveling.
The electric grid attack was more powerful than Lei Xiu had imagined. The insects were stunned by the electric shocks, and almost none of them survived unscathed. It was common for them to be electrocuted into charred remains.
Faced with this irresistible and unpredictable attack, the insects finally felt fear, something they rarely experienced.
The sharp clatter of their mandibles echoed, and the once orderly ranks descended into chaos. But it was all in vain; no matter how they struggled, they could not escape the inescapable net laid by Lei Xiu.
Even the insects that had escaped into the air beforehand couldn't escape their fate. Generating electricity out of thin air was Lei Xiu's specialty, and the closer they got to him, the clearer their target became.
As a result, the insects in the air also suffered a great misfortune. Not only were their bodies charred by electricity, but when they fell, they also caused secondary damage to their own kind, making them even more despised.
Lei Xiu single-handedly eliminated most of the insects that had swarmed up nearby.
He didn't intend to let the remaining insects go either; letting a tiger return to the mountain is not a good habit.
At this moment, the clouds in the sky were attracted by the electric current released by Lei Xiu, and had already formed a certain size above his head. Having played with rain clouds in Zixiao Ridge since childhood, Lei Xiu was not afraid of anything unless he encountered a cloud layer of the size he had encountered before.
He turned the gun around and pointed it straight at the sky. A narrow sliver of electricity disappeared into the clouds as a catalyst. Soon, layers of electric light appeared in the clouds. The catalyst that Lei Xiu had put in had taken effect, successfully drawing down a large amount of electricity for his use.
Using the chang gun as a medium, the thick electric current was like an obedient lump of clay, which Lei Xiu could mold and stretch at will before flinging it towards the swarm of insects.
A burst of purple light flashed across the sky, each flash taking the lives of countless insects. Wave after wave of insects were completely powerless to resist, suppressed by the electric current.
The furry ball, taking in all of this, subtly moved its throat. Although it was not within Lei Xiu's attack range, it vaguely felt a tingling sensation in its body.
Ancient memories began to attack it, and the furball inevitably recalled what the insect in front of it had experienced, just as it had experienced. However, back then, Lei Xiu did not kill it, but only wanted to settle the score with it.
A bug that had almost broken through the defense line was emitting black smoke and could not advance any further. The furry ball still had no chance to make a move.
Lezhi behind him seemed to have changed his posture, and it was unclear whether he was close to success. Maoqiu glanced at Lezhi for a moment, then turned his attention back to Leixiu.
To be fair, Lei Xiu is undeniably strong; there's no fault to be found in that regard. It's just that his aesthetic sense is a bit lacking…
As if it had eyes in the back of its head, when the furry ball dared to provoke Lei Xiu again, Lei Xiu finally decided to stop and sent a small branch of the electric grid spreading across the ground rushing towards the furry ball with lightning speed.
Before it even realized it, a tingling sensation from being struck by an electric current surged up from the soles of its feet, causing the massive, fortress-like body of the furball to twitch and tremble uncontrollably.
His gaze went unfocused for a moment, then quickly returned to its normal state.
"Chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp chirp~"
The furball protested angrily. It had only said a few words to him in private, and he hadn't even said them out loud. Why was he so vindictive? Petty and nitpicky.
From the cat's shriek, which showed how quickly it recovered, Lei Xiu knew that it had only been momentarily frightened by the electric current. He had controlled the force of his attack perfectly, so it wouldn't cause any real damage to the cat, but it was enough to teach it a lesson.
As for protests, well, let them shout whatever they want, they won't understand anyway.
The two of them used to compete in secret like this, always without Lezhi's knowledge. They had their share of victories and defeats. Every time Lei Xiu ambushed them, Maoqiu would make a fuss like this in secret. Lei Xiu had long since mastered the skill of ignoring it and could completely block out Maoqiu's cries.
Maoqiu knew that only Lezhi could understand its barks, but barking was its way of venting, and it would bark regardless of whether Leixiu could understand it or not.
The two, one human and one bird, were having so much fun that they were careful not to spread the battle to Lezhi, but they forgot that there was another new member who hadn't grown up yet.
The chicks perched on the furball's back were inevitably affected when the furball was attacked by the electric current. This attack was only a minor one for a furball, but it was a different story for the chicks.
After hearing a faint chirping sound from behind, Maoqiu finally remembered that it had a baby bird on its back.
Oh dear, I hope the fledgling bird doesn't turn into a roasted bird!
A chill ran down his spine, and cold sweat broke out on his skin covered by thick feathers. Forgetting about his attack on Lei Xiu, Maoqiu hurriedly turned to check on the chick's condition. The expected tragic scene of the chick dying did not appear. Instead, Maoqiu was greeted by a pair of black bean eyes that were blinking with satisfaction and excitement.
"Chirp chirp chirp~" What was that just now? The little one wants more.
What else?
The fur ball was dumbfounded.
Especially when it saw the newly grown feathers vaguely appearing on the wings of the fledgling bird amidst the surge of electricity, it had an extremely unreliable, but possibly true, guess in its mind.
This child actually ate lightning?
