Chapter 1241: Chapter 760_2
The swarming cockroaches became larger, which was a bit terrifying, but their range was too small. The countless cockroaches, despite their numbers, couldn’t change the situation. They charged in flying, crashing into things, only to end up dizzy.
These were just some ordinary demons, yet to transform their shape, but they already had demon cores!
The higher-ups inside the building realized these cockroaches were useless, became anxious, and started casting spells, attempting to use earth spells to break through the array with earth.
Among this group of demons, there were those using fire spells. However, some of their kind feared fire, like the cockroaches. The venom these cockroaches spewed, under normal circumstances, would also be a great disaster!
This was originally part of the Eastern Demon King’s plan, using the first batch, second batch, and third batch of different insects, intending to have these insects consume people’s crops or plants!
To plague this island’s ordinary people or cultivators with a terrifying insect disaster!
Then these creatures would fly to various kingdoms, using different species to destroy them!
However, before they had even implemented this plan on the small island, the Eastern Demon King acted on his own with his followers, ended up captured and annihilated!
These followers didn’t even know, following the original plan, which, although good, would it be successfully carried out?
Like the Eastern Demon before, they were detected by humans, resulting in an array trapping them in this passage. No matter how many plans they had, they were useless!
Su Chang’an and the others did not relent. The arrays they deployed required continuous reinforcement, though the materials of those array plates could automatically absorb energy for reinforcement!
However, the spiritual energy on this small island wasn’t very strong, and the plates were voraciously absorbing. If these demons kept crashing into them, they would eventually break!
Su Chang’an and the team split into three groups. Each group was formed around one magical treasure, with the women forming another three, a communication patrol team.
More than a dozen women, except for the newly cultivated ones, joined the women’s teams, working in three shifts!
This allowed for teamwork in tasks!
The men also divided into three groups, these groups further divided into three shifts!
As men, they were assigned the main tasks, reinforcing each array, supervising, and checking the island for more demons.
They also feared these demons becoming sealed, then ordinary people or other demons realizing something was off, leading to an attack from the outside.
They were confident in waiting for more official cultivators to arrive, and had relayed the information from the Eastern Demon King’s mind to the authorities and relay points across the country!
Let them investigate, the demons at those relay points must be caught, whether human or demon, leaving none behind!
They didn’t need to deal with those matters, as long as they guarded and supervised here, ensuring the passage wasn’t opened, they would have contributed greatly!
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin weren’t in the same group, but they were in the same shift. The two brothers collaborated in both information and tasks, always working together!
Even though they weren’t of the same surname, they had known each other for years, working seamlessly together!
“Luo Yaxuan, didn’t expect you’d encounter such a situation on the way home, you’re pretty lucky, hehe!”
Lai Jianlin hadn’t had time to joke with Luo Yaxuan earlier. After the brothers’ situation eased, they started to chat leisurely!
Luo Yaxuan felt a bit helpless about his trouble-attracting nature, raised an eyebrow, disagreeing with his brother’s words:
“I am indeed lucky, detecting the other side, allowing us to be alerted, and preventing ordinary people from being suddenly injured. Our cultivation world wouldn’t face unforeseen disasters, containing this disaster within a range, I feel lucky, hehe, brother, you’re not wrong.”
Lai Jianlin’s earlier comment about luck was actually a jab, implying, Brother, how are you always so unlucky?
Going out and encountering incidents!
Out of all outings, why are you so unlucky?
“Luo Yaxuan, you intended to bring your girlfriend home, why not wait for your brother? If it weren’t for me quickly bringing her back, you’d be in big trouble, brother!”
Luo Yaxuan smiled helplessly: “Brother, if you can bring your girlfriend to visit family, why can’t I bring mine home, where’s the wrong in that?”
Lai Jianlin raised an eyebrow: “You’re right, the wrong was with the Eastern Demon King, he really is blind!”
Among the girls, only Ding Ling was not doing tasks with the others, because her family’s abilities weren’t strong, she had to protect them!
But they were all inside her magical treasure, while she didn’t do tasks, she would oversee her family cultivating, always keeping an eye on others doing tasks!
The Ding Family, having witnessed the battles these days, found it different from hunting prey in the past. These demons and beasts were much weaker than the prey they usually hunted!
They were fortunate their previous encounters were with ordinary beasts. Perhaps their residence lacked spiritual energy; otherwise, they wouldn’t have survived so luckily!
Having seen the capabilities of the powerful, they became more focused on pursuit, working harder on cultivation!
In their spare time, they would watch videos, seeing those strong demons, wondering if their country had them, worrying about their future!
Worrying was useless, their abilities weren’t strong, avoiding dragging behind was good enough!
Liu Jiaojiao paired with her mother, patrolling together, sharing a magical treasure, flying across the sky, stopping occasionally, needing only to watch videos!
“Mother, how long do we have to carry out these tasks? I thought we could join Senior Brother’s family, coming here, who knows how long we’ll be staying?”
Xiao Xiang understood her daughter’s thoughts. Her heart was with her Senior Brother, disliking tasking with her mother, unable to stay by her Senior Brother’s side all the time!
“You silly girl, all things must be weighed for importance, being with Mother, do you find it burdensome?”
Liu Jiaojiao’s thoughts were seen through by her mother. Embarrassed, she pouted: “Mother, how could I find being with you annoying? When Mother only sees Father for a while a day, doesn’t Mother miss Father?”
Xiao Xiang smiled at her daughter, knowing some words couldn’t be said to her. After all, sweet words between couples weren’t for the younger generation: “We’re an old couple, life is so long, how could we cling to the joy of a mere moment?”
“Grown-ups speak so profoundly, I don’t quite understand, but I believe following one’s heart is best, closing off for several months or days is annoying, if it’s hundreds of years, all youth would vanish!”
Liu Jiaojiao’s remark was met with a playful smack on her head from her mother!
The mother and daughter’s playful banter made time pass quickly, their time was leisurely, responsible for three meals, including Luo Yaxuan’s meals for the family of three!
Among the women’s team, through drawing lots, Tang Yanqing and Lin Daiyu somehow ended up in the same group, the two opposing women destined to bicker!
Besides bickering, perhaps they might even argue over a man!
The Dugu brothers became the male protagonist in their conversations, having no time to deal with the two women vying for his attention!
He joined the other men for tasks, having a partner, only seeing those two enamored girls once a day, as if relieved, feeling he had more time for his own matters!
Having Jin Cancan did not stop him from striving; a man not trying is deemed useless!
Among the men in their crew, his abilities weren’t the highest, Su Chang’an was superior!
In his own view, his romantic encounters were more impressive than Su Chang’an’s!
All the men there found it strange how someone as exceptional as Su Chang’an hadn’t won the affection of women?
Was he too wooden-headed, or did others lack vision?
He once asked Su Chang’an, only witnessing Su Chang’an’s gentle smile, and was left disappointed by the response:
“A man prioritizes his career, women may be companions but aren’t a necessity. If it’s for love, fine. For reproduction, I think it’s best to wait, wait for someone I adore wholeheartedly, or someone we mutually love!”
