My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 539

Chapter 538: Ignore it all!

After staying in Fengrao County for three days, Xu Changqing finally led Hu Bugui and the others away, quickly returning to the Shattered Moon Frost floating in the air.

Su Jinli, Miao Huayu, and Ling Chenye had no objections to this, since it was a task arranged by the Immortal Sect.

Now that it has been successfully completed, it is actually a cause for celebration.

Xu Changqing regained control of the Shattered Moon Frost and quickly steered it away at an extremely fast speed, following the route designated by the Immortal Sect.

Hu Bugui asked, “Do you think those two kids’ personalities will change?”

Zhao Ziyue picked up the conversation: “If I were Lin Xiaoman, I might not be able to resist the temptation.”

Hu Bugui smiled at this: “There is a difference between immortals and mortals. If it were us, we would probably be even more humble!”

However, to be fair, the excitement they felt right after leaving the Immortal Sect made them increasingly eager and even impatient for what would happen next.

As for Lu Wu and Yu Shi, these two remained expressionless, seemingly indifferent to everything.

They joined the team simply to meet the Immortal Sect’s requirement for team size; they weren’t particularly interested in the mission itself.

…

…

As time passed, the group flew completely out of the area of Fengrao County and even began to move away from the territory ruled by the Great Moon Dynasty.

Although the Tianyuan Realm is divided into five major domains—east, west, south, north, and center—they are not directly connected to each other; instead, they are separated by a vast buffer zone.

This buffer zone is called the “no-care” zone.

Here, evil practitioners, bad people, and villains often hide.

As soon as Xu Changqing and the others approached the area, they sensed more than five residual magical energy fluctuations through their divine sense, indicating that a battle had just taken place.

They’re either brothers one second and stabbing each other in the back for their own interests the next.

They either rely on their high level of cultivation to bully the weak, commit evil deeds, and rob them.

Of course, disciples from other cultivation sects also come here specifically to train, hone their skills in danger, and even seek opportunities.

In short, while the no-man’s-land is extremely dangerous, it also presents opportunities.

The further they went, the more desolate the scenery became.

The ground was either bare black stone or withered trees entwined with black vines.

When the wind blows through the cracks in the rocks, it carries a faint, fishy smell, like the smell of rotten leaves.

Sensing something was wrong, Ling Chenye transformed into a gust of wind and instantly flew out to investigate.

At first there were no problems, but after a while, thick fog appeared ahead.

The fog looked very unusual; it was actually green.

A faint buzzing sound could be heard.

Ling Chenye tried to touch it, but the next second, a chilling aura seeped into her body, as if trying to freeze her completely.

Even my skin started to itch inexplicably, as if ants were burrowing into my flesh; the feeling was indescribably eerie.

Ling Chenye quickly returned, and before she even stepped onto the deck of the Broken Moon Frost, she had already told him what she had just discovered: “There’s fog ahead, and something in the fog!”

Upon hearing this, everyone except Su Jinli and Yu Shi’s expressions changed.

You should know that although Ling Chenye likes to lie to people, or rather, tease others.

But at crucial moments, they never let us down. If they say there’s fog and something in the fog, then there’s definitely something there, and they would never cause trouble at that time.

Therefore, Xu Changqing and the others exchanged glances and became wary.

One by one, they released their divine sense and spiritual sense, constantly scanning their surroundings.

At first, nothing unusual was found, since they had not yet entered the area that Ling Chenye had previously scouted, and the outside was still a desolate scene of black rocks and withered vines.

However, after a while, as they approached the area that Ling Chenye had just scouted, they could see a thick green mist rising not far away without even needing their divine sense.

Normal fog moves silently and without a sound.

However, this green mist actually emitted a buzzing sound, as if it were resonating.

Having mastered the Secret Manual of Ten Thousand Insects, Xu Changqing immediately recognized it upon seeing and hearing it: “Everyone, this is not mist at all, but a swarm of insects!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Wu and Yu Shi, whose expressions had remained unchanged, simultaneously raised their eyebrows.

Even Su Jinli’s eyes now gleamed with an unfathomable light.

Ling Chenye suddenly realized, “No wonder I felt uncomfortable; it wasn’t fog after all.”

Hu Bugui hurriedly asked, “Old Xu, didn’t you switch to insect repair? What do we do now?”

Xu Changqing pondered, “If it’s an unclaimed swarm of insects, I can handle it in no time…”

However, before they could finish speaking, the green mist ahead, which was the swarm of insects, must have spotted them and swept towards them like a raging wave.

The green mist surged faster than expected, and within moments it was almost upon them.

After Xu Changqing’s reminder, everyone observed carefully and indeed saw the true form of the fog.

Each insect, smaller than a grain of rice, had a faint green sheen.

The wings flapped so fast that even people of their level could barely see them.

Even more terrifying, as the swarm of insects swept across the ground, the exposed black rocks were instantly covered with a layer of white frost.

In the blink of an eye, the fist-sized black stone shattered into dust with a “crack”.

Everything it touched froze and cracked at an extremely fast speed, eventually turning into a pile of ice shards and debris.

Xu Changqing’s pupils contracted slightly: “These are ice-eating worms.”

Ice-eating insects are a type of alien insect. When their numbers are small, they are not a threat. However, the sheer number of them before us clearly indicates that they have been artificially bred.

It takes many years of careful cultivation to reach its current scale.

Fortunately, everyone in the team reacted very quickly.

As the swarm of insects approached, Su Jinli flipped her wrist, and the red umbrella she always held suddenly unfolded. The umbrella surface turned sharply forward, and as the umbrella ribs rotated, crimson flames poured out like a waterfall, instantly forming a wall of fire.

火焰灼热，刚与虫群接触，便传来“滋滋”的灼烧声。

前排的冰蚀蛊虫在转瞬间被烧成黑灰，连带着周围的极寒气息都被驱散了几分。

“风来！”

灵晨夜见状，身形一晃来到红伞旁边，功法运转起来，调动金丹中的法力，两股带着呜呜声的强风从掌心释放而出，瞬间风助火势。

赤红火焰立马暴涨到数十丈，还催生出一条条火舌，它们朝着虫群深处舔去。

原本还在前涌的虫潮，竟被这道火墙，尤其这些角度刁钻的火舌，逼得开始后退。

胡不归眼前一亮：“还以为多厉害，没想到就这？”

赵子曰瞅了徐长青一眼，见对方没有露出喜悦的笑容，顿时惊疑不定地说：“难道还没完？”

徐长青认真道：“这群虫子，只是来试探咱们能力的炮灰罢了，真正恐怖的，还在后面呢！”
