Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2741

Appears

The burly man cried out, his entire body suddenly ablaze with flames. He was clearly a fire user. Previously, the sea was all water, leaving him with few uses for his abilities. So, here, he’d hoped to show off his prowess, but who knew this monstrous insect was so formidable?

He tore the withered arm off, but was a step too slow, and the strange insect had already burrowed into his body.

Terrified and horrified, he mobilized all his fire elemental energy, attempting to consume the insect with the scorching heat.

But to his horror, he quickly discovered that the raging flames were extinguishing at a visible speed.

He could sense a black hole within him, frantically devouring his fire energy. It was clearly the terrifying insect.

How could it be possible? Fire can destroy everything, so why can’t it even consume a tiny insect?

He didn’t get a chance to hear the answer. His wails grew fainter, and finally, his withered body could no longer support itself, collapsing to the ground.

“What the hell is that thing?” the old woman who had performed the sacrifice exclaimed in horror.

Alfred’s expression was solemn. “That’s a Soul Devourer. Legend has it that it can devour all spiritual energy, vital energy, magic power, true qi, and the like. He tried to incinerate him with fire, but those fire elements are merely food and tonic for the Soul Devourer, so naturally, they’re useless.”

Hearing this, everyone swallowed their saliva. Being able to devour all kinds of energy, wouldn’t that make them invincible?

Isabella also asked the same question: “Don’t these insects have weaknesses?”

“I suppose everything has weaknesses, but the Soul Devourer’s weaknesses are unknown because everyone who has encountered them has died.” Alfred continued to pull Isabella along.

Then, a tooth-crunching sound rang out.

BANG!

The burly man’s chest suddenly exploded, and a black beetle crawled out, followed by a dense swarm of smaller insects.

Seeing this scene, everyone’s scalp tingled. How could it have bred so many young in such a short time?

The Soul Devourer flapped its wings, and a series of piercing sounds echoed through the sky.

Similar noises echoed from the surrounding reefs, and soon, black beetles began crawling out from the crevices.

Seeing these craving-inducing images, Isabella nearly fainted.

The others, no longer daring to delay, also fled, wishing their parents hadn’t given them two more legs.

The noise seemed to completely alarm the soul-devouring insects, which spread their wings and flew towards the crowd.

Because they were too numerous, there was no escape, and soon one passenger was swarmed by the insects.

He was the man who had used the paper figurine to scout the way on the boat. Suddenly, a swarm of birds flew out around him, devouring the soul-devouring insects relentlessly.

Unfortunately, the insects were too numerous, and the next second, many more soul-devouring insects pounced on them.

The birds screamed, transformed into paper birds, and were devoured in the blink of an eye.

The person who cast the spell also screamed as they were overwhelmed by the soul-devouring insects.

Meanwhile, everyone reacted and rushed to help.

Although they’d heard from Alfred that these bugs devoured everything,

they still felt a bit reluctant to give it a try. The results were still disappointing. All manner of attacks were devoured by the bugs, and their companion was quickly sucked into a dried corpse.

Of course, they weren’t completely unsuccessful. They’d discovered that physical attacks were effective against the bugs.

These couldn’t be physical attacks like sword energy, but only direct hits from weapons like swords.

Unfortunately, the soul-devouring bugs were too numerous, and as their attacks increased, they even devoured their weapons.

Many cried out in pain as their weapons were damaged.

Zuan was thankful he hadn’t pulled out his Tai’a sword; if it had been damaged, Mi Li would have been left with nowhere to go.

He’d encountered similar soul-devouring bugs before, but none as powerful as this one.

The guests on board hailed from different worlds, their methods of attack varied, yet they were all devoured by the bugs.

At this moment, everyone stopped, their expressions solemn, as the Soul Devouring Insects blocked their path.

And not just in front of them, but on all sides, surrounding them in a small open space.

Everyone was displaying their unique skills, and Isabella was constantly reaching for magic weapons from her small bag. Unfortunately, these weapons were restrained by the Soul Devouring Insects, rendering them powerless.

Zuan’s heart sank. He still had a way to try, but he wasn’t sure.

Seeing the Soul Devouring Insects closing in, Tingxue said, “Let me do it,”

stepping forward and standing in front of the group.

The Soul Devouring Insects, as if feeling provoked, pounced on her in anger.

“Be careful!” Zuan instinctively felt a surge of worry, especially after witnessing several of his companions being sucked to a pulp.

Tingxue didn’t respond. With a clear, melodious sound, she unsheathed her sword.

The strike seemed to cleave the world, and a void appeared before her.

At that moment, everyone present was overcome by a sense of utter silence and despair, as if life had lost all meaning.

When they regained consciousness, they discovered that the terrifying soul-devouring insects had vanished without a trace.

“Where did they go?” Isabella asked, blinking in shock.

“They’ve been banished to the void,” Tingxue said calmly.

Everyone else looked at her in wonder. That wasn’t just any void; it felt more like chaos.

There was truly nothing there, nothing for the soul-devouring insects to devour.

The others looked at Tingxue in awe. Who could this woman be, capable of slicing through chaos with a single sword strike?

Yani instinctively clenched her fists, as if tempted to challenge her, but now, facing danger, she decided against it.

Tingxue walked ahead, and the other guests instinctively followed. With such a thick thigh to cling to, staying close to her felt safer.

Isabella still stayed beside Zuan and whispered, “Brother Zu, you are so amazing that you can know such a friend.”

Alfred: “…”

It is true that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. How can this be considered his advantage?

“I don’t know if she considers me a friend.” Zuan sighed. The other person was too cold, even colder than Yan Xuehen.

After the crisis just now, everyone was extremely vigilant. After walking for a while, Tingxue suddenly stopped. Yani frowned and said, “We seem to have been here before?”
