The insects just kept coming. An army of demon leeches had already crawled onto Baxia’s body after so contact with Qiu Chi. They imdiately headed toward the unprotected spots, as if they already knew where Baxia’s weak points were.
“Brother Fan, the Parasitic Steaming Locusts are circling above us!” Zhang Xiaohou pointed out.
More parasites had appeared from Qiu Chi’s body as Baxia kept knocking it away from the bridge. The parasites consisted of the demon leeches and the Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers. The parasitic grasshoppers were like flies circling a huge corpse, as they flew in groups around Qiu Chi.
They were different from the demon leeches that were continuously falling onto Baxia’s body. These parasitic grasshoppers would let the demon leeches scout the area ahead first. Whenever the demon leeches located a weak point, the parasitic grasshoppers would dive at the spot together, like they had picked up the scent of so rotting flesh!
As a matter of fact, these parasitic grasshoppers were the digestive system in Qiu Chi’s stomach. Humans normally relied on the gastric juices in their stomach to digest the food they ate, but Qiu Chi did not have gastric acid in its stomach. It relied on the heat of these Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers to lt the food. Qiu Chi would obtain the nutrients and energy it needed, and the rest was split among the burning locusts!
Therefore, these Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers were just as horrifying as the demon leeches. As parasitic creatures, their biggest strength was their ability to disintegrate everything, be it flesh, skin, bones, or other strange objects!
“I’ll deal with those in the sky. Can you two handle the demon leeches?” Mo Fan asked Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan.
“How are you going to fight those in the sky when you can’t fly?” Zhao Manyan had to ask.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take them all out regardless of their numbers!” Mo Fan declared.
As soon as Mo Fan finished his sentence, Baxia once again secured the upper hand in another exchange of brute force. It used the elbow of its front limbs and shattered the sharp bones on Qiu Chi’s back. The creature let out a painful cry as its black bones were broken to pieces. It was very likely that the bones connected to them inside its body had fractured too!
Qiu Chi was knocked further back. They were now over three kiloters away from the bridge. They no longer posed an imdiate threat to the people being evacuated across the bridge.
Qiu Chi let out a furious roar. The Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers that were still looking for an opportunity to strike ran out of patience. They began diving at Baxia, carrying out a kamikaze attack with the special heat their bodies contained. They were using the sa move as the demon leeches!
These Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers were the gastric juices in Qiu Chi’s body. If it was only one or two of them, they could not have left leave a single wound on Baxia’s body. However, when thousands of them were attacking the sa spot, they could easily burn through Baxia’s skin!
Baxia’s body was mostly protected by his shell. He would normally block eighty percent of the damage when fighting a creature like Qiu Chi, but the Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers were like fleas to him. His shell was not so effective against them!
“Nice, I like it when they bundle up!” Mo Fan saw the Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers’ plan to carry out a suicide attack.
The flas of the Ardent Sunset erupted on his palms. He waited for the right mont!
“Old Zhao, I won’t hurt Baxia if I set his back on fire, right?” Mo Fan asked after he suddenly thought of sothing.
“Your flas are no different from a heater pack on his skin. Just go ahead, he’s more worried about those corrosive parasites! Elental Magic won’t hurt him so easily,” Zhao Manyan said disdainfully.
“Great, I can use everything I have then!” Mo Fan grinned.
Fighting on Baxia’s back was better than fighting on the sea, since his Fire Elent was only weakened slightly here.
“Little Fla Belle, is the furnace ready?” Mo Fan asked.
“Ling!~” Little Fla Belle responded joyfully.
Little Fla Belle had learned how to refine her flas to make them purer and stronger after the battle against the Viscera Hunters.
If she could refine the Calamity Fire, she could do the sa thing to the Ardent Sunset too! Mo Fan had already told Little Fla Belle to prepare herself when he saw the Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers roaming around.
Little Fla Belle liked refining her flas, but she enjoyed seeing the destruction her flas could bring even more!
“Alright, let’s wait for them to co a little closer!” Mo Fan continued waiting for the right mont to strike.
The Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers’ wings were almost transparent, and their bodies were constantly emitting steam under high temperature. They looked like clusters of teorites as they dove together. The thick steam also acted as a protective layer around them!
“Lava Pond!”
Mo Fan lifted his hands. The refined Ardent Sunset erupted like a furnace in the shape of a hexagon. Inside it were thick flas that extended out like the tongue of an enormous burning frog. It reached into the sky and swept the brainless parasitic grasshoppers toward itself!
The Ardent Sunset had the ability to spread rapidly in tight clusters. Even the faintest spark could grow into a huge fire. The devouring flas continued to stack on top of one another, and the parasitic locusts in the sky were like dry grains. The flas burned them to ashes as they spread further and further among the locusts’ ranks.
The light of the flas flickered continuously across Baxia’s back. The creature purposely turned his head around and looked at Mo Fan.
“I understand! I hate mosquitos the most when it’s sumr too!” Mo Fan smiled when he saw Baxia looking at him.
Mo Fan had almost set a whole street on fire once while he was eliminating mosquitos, but these Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers were over a hundred tis deadlier than mosquitos. Mo Fan could imagine how terrible Baxia felt when he had fought Qiu Chi in the past!
The Ardent Sunset was godly against insects. The Parasitic Steam Locusts were extrely vulnerable when the flas of the Ardent Sunset continued to spread through them. Even though they were constantly releasing heat, the steam they released to attack their enemies and the temperature of the flas were two different things. They were extrely afraid of the flas that were spreading rapidly through their swarms.
A blue Soul Remnant floated toward the Loach Pendant around Mo Fan’s neck every ti a Parasitic Steam Locust died, and as a result, the Soul Remnants began pouring down from the sky like stars. Mo Fan was quite surprised when he noticed how great the quality of the Soul Remnants were. He only needed a few of them to refine them into a Soul Essence!
