Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

197: The spirit gu suppresses the mortal gu, creating a maze!”Chuanwen, run!”

Chen Changsheng pulled Chuanwen and ran, but how could their speed match a swarm of flying Man-Killing Bees? Soon, the Man-Killing Bees, like a dark cloud, swarmed toward them!

”White Cloud Cover, open!”

Seeing that they couldn’t escape, Chen Chuanwen hurriedly activated the White Cloud Cover. However, his magic power had just been depleted; even though he had replenished some, forcing the use of the White Cloud Cover wouldn’t last long!

”Dad, what should we do? I can only hold out for fifteen minutes at most!”

As Chen Chuanwen funneled magic power into the White Cloud Cover, he spoke anxiously to Chen Changsheng. By now, he had also realized how difficult these Man-Killing Bees were to deal with!

The dense swarm of Man-Killing Bees surrounded them, occasionally thrusting their poisonous stingers. Every sting caused ripples to spread across the White Cloud Cover’s shield, and Chuanwen’s magic power was being consumed at an extreme rate.

”Once Man-Killing Bees lock onto a target, it’s a fight to the death. There’s no easy way out. Chuanwen, try to see if you can use your Magical Artifact to carve out a path to survival!”

Chen Changsheng was also somewhat flustered now. Who could have imagined that such a quiet peach forest would hide such a group of ferocious creatures!

He could only have Chen Chuanwen take a few shots and hope for the best!

”Okay, Dad, I’ll try!”

Hearing this, Chen Chuanwen nodded. He forcibly condensed his magic power and summoned the golden seal, enlarging it and smashing it toward the swarm!

Unfortunately, while the golden seal’s attack power was high, its speed was too low!

When the seal smashed down, most of the Man-Killing Bees flew away, and only a few were killed. With tens of thousands in the swarm, Chen Chuanwen would work himself to death before he could smash them all!

Moreover, after the golden seal landed, they quickly swarmed back together, consolidating the encirclement and leaving Chen Changsheng and his son no chance for a Breakthrough!

”Dad, it’s not working! Are we really going to fall here...”

Chen Chuanwen spoke with a face full of disappointment. At this moment, no matter how clever he was, he couldn’t calculate a chance for escape. If even someone as smart as him was at his wits’ end, what could Chen Changsheng do?

”Man proposes, but Heaven disposes...”

Chen Changsheng also let out a long sigh. He hadn’t expected that just as his path of cultivation was becoming smooth and about to take off, it would be cut short here!

Just as the two were in despair, the Ice Soul King Scorpion hidden in Chen Changsheng’s sleeve quietly crawled out. It climbed onto Chen Changsheng’s shoulder, waving its two pincers and letting out a faint cry!

”Cici...!”

The Ice Soul King Scorpion’s cry was very quiet, yet it caused the ”buzzing” sound of the Man-Killing Bees’ wings—which sounded like bellows outside—to suddenly pause!

Chen Changsheng very keenly noticed this detail. He turned to look at the Ice Soul King Scorpion, and a light suddenly burst from his eyes!

”Spirit Gu suppresses Mortal Gu! Right, mine is even a King Gu among Spirit Gu! Haha, Chuanwen, we’re saved!”

Chen Changsheng suddenly recalled the records in the ”Hundred Gu Manual” and let out a burst of laughter. He patted the shoulder of the dejected Chuanwen and shouted!

”The ’Hundred Gu Manual’ records that the world’s Gu insects are divided into five grades: Mortal, Spirit, Treasure, Origin, and Immortal. Higher-level Gu will exert pressure on lower-level Gu. This pressure will make lower-level Gu terrified, causing them to scatter automatically or even not dare to resist!”

”And the Ice Soul King Scorpion in my hand is precisely a Spirit Gu, while these Man-Killing Bees are merely Mortal insects. The Aura of the Ice Soul King Scorpion is enough to drive them away!”

”Furthermore, the Ice Soul King Scorpion is a King insect among Spirit Gu. Although it isn’t a bee-type King insect and cannot command the swarm, driving away these Man-Killing Bees is still very easy!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Chuanwen’s previously dim eyes instantly brightened. He quickly grabbed Chen Changsheng and said excitedly:

”Is that true? Dad, quickly have the Ice Soul King Scorpion drive them away!”

”Don’t worry, it’s coming right up!”

Chen Changsheng patted Chuanwen’s hand, then used his Divine Thought to communicate with the Ice Soul King Scorpion, sending it the thought to drive away the Man-Killing Bees.

Since Chen Changsheng had already Blood Refined the Ice Soul King Scorpion, it quickly sensed his intent.

Then, the Ice Soul King Scorpion waved its pincers and let out a series of insect cries toward the Man-Killing Bee swarm... ”Cici!!!”

A miraculous scene occurred. Upon hearing the Ice Soul King Scorpion’s cries, those aggressive Man-Killing Bees instantly became listless and then flew away in a chaotic mess.

”Haha, how lucky. If I hadn’t Blood Refined the Ice Soul King Scorpion, we really would have been dead this time!”

Chen Changsheng looked at the sky, which had returned to blue with white clouds, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Chuanwen with a smile.

”Yes, it was truly a close call. We father and son have truly walked through the gates of hell!”

Chen Chuanwen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke with lingering fear.

”Thank you, little baby. When we get back, I’ll treat you to deer blood!”

Chen Changsheng stroked the head of the Ice Soul King Scorpion and then carefully hid it back in his sleeve.

”Let’s go, Chuanwen. I see this peach forest is about to end. Let’s see what exactly is inside!”

Chen Changsheng gazed into the distance and could already see the mountain walls. It was evident they were nearing the end of the peach forest!

”Dad, I think we should forget it. We’ve already encountered two dangers just getting here. Who knows what other troubles lie ahead? Why don’t we go back first and plan further?”

Chen Chuanwen was cautious by nature. After experiencing two dangers, he was unwilling to take more risks and thus advised Chen Changsheng.

”Go back?”

Chen Changsheng frowned. He looked back at the peach blossom miasma filling the sky, then at the nearby peach forest, and said:

”Once we go back, the two clans will migrate over immediately. We won’t have another chance to deal with this peach forest. We’ve worked so hard to get here; we can’t give up halfway. Otherwise, it will leave a hidden danger that could threaten the Chen family at any time!”

”We can’t go back. We must press on and see exactly what is at the end!”

Chen Changsheng spoke with a firm tone. Then, he strode forward. Chen Chuanwen looked at his father walking ahead, shook his head helplessly, and gritted his teeth to follow!

Peach blossoms were still pervasive along the way, only the peach trees had grown a bit larger. Chen Changsheng and Chuanwen were cautious throughout the journey but didn’t encounter any danger!

”A few more miles and we’ll reach the end. It seems there really isn’t any danger here!”

Chen Changsheng looked at the surrounding peach blossoms and breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Chuanwen remained vigilant, frowning deeply as he said carefully:

”Dad, the more critical the moment, the less we can relax. Perhaps the danger is right here!”

Chen Changsheng nodded, and the two continued forward.

Thirty minutes, fifteen minutes, an hour... ”Something’s wrong, Chuanwen. We were only a few miles from the end, but we’ve been walking for an hour. Why is it still so far!”

Chen Changsheng cried out in surprise. Chen Chuanwen’s face also instantly darkened. They had been so focused on external dangers that they forgot to observe such an obvious change in their surroundings.

”Dad, let’s turn back!”

Chen Chuanwen immediately wanted to take Chen Changsheng away, but Chen Changsheng shook his head and said with a serious expression:

”We can’t go back. If I’m not mistaken, this is a Formation!”

”We must have entered an Illusion Array!”
