After working together to kill a Crypt Lord, before Ye Zan and the others could take a breath, a dozen more Crypt Lords emerged from the ground of Wushou City, each with similar strength as before. In other words, these dozen Crypt Lords are equivalent to a dozen Yuanshen-level opponents, and relying on their strong defense, it is difficult for ordinary Yuanshen to kill them quickly.
However, looking at these newly emerged crypt lords, Ye Zan discovered another problem.
These crypt lords are the same size as the previous one, and when they emerge from the ground, the crypt left on the ground is also about the same size. However, the size of these crypts is still much smaller than the ones that Ye Zan and the others first saw, which were as big as a football field.
Then it may be possible to guess that those crypts the size of football fields were not dug out by the joint efforts of the crypt lords in front of them. Does it mean that there is probably a larger underground lord underground in this city of futile death
In other words, judging from the fact that the Crypt Lord that was killed before was made up of countless small insects, it is very likely that this larger Crypt Lord is the real Crypt Lord. Just like the previous Crypt Lord released countless small insects to attack Ye Zan and others, these Crypt Lords that just appeared are just using similar methods.
Of course, regardless of whether it was a clone or the original body, the dozen or so Crypt Lords that appeared now were enough to give Ye Zan and the others a headache. True Lord Qinghong and the others dispersed immediately and each faced a Crypt Lord, and they all used all their strength without holding back. But even so, even True Lord Qinghong and Li Luan, the two most powerful Yuan Shen masters, found it difficult to kill their opponents for a while, let alone the others.
True Lord Qinghong deployed the Infinite Sword Realm and enveloped a Crypt Lord in the Tao Realm, but was unable to crush his opponent like before. This crypt lord, relying on its extremely hard carapace and the endless sword light that was constantly cutting down, could still launch counterattacks against True Lord Qinghong from time to time.
Wen Hua, He Yuan and Huan Zhen, the three True Lords of Yuanshen, did not go one-on-one with the Crypt Lords. Instead, the three of them formed a three-talent formation that they had used before, and worked together to block the three Crypt Lords. However, with the strength of the three of them, being able to do this is already considered the limit, and it is almost impossible to kill the opponent.
On the other side of Li Luan, the Domain of Sinful Bones has also been launched. The huge skeletal Shura emerged from the Tao realm and started wrestling with the crypt lord who was shrouded in the Tao realm. Skeleton Shura grabbed the crypt lord's horn with one bone claw, and clenched his fist with the other bone claw to hit the crypt lord continuously. Every blow caused flying insects to scatter on the crypt lord's body. Not to be outdone, the crypt lord waved his huge sickle-shaped forearm and slashed at the skeletal Shura, causing bone fragments to fly.
But this time, facing an opponent like the Crypt Lord, the Dao domain of the Lin siblings seemed a little weak. You must know that these crypt lords are not individuals, but are made up of endless insects. It is not easy to confuse them. Although it is said that the Dao realm of the Lin family siblings is not only confusing people's minds, but also has its own unique Dao laws. But without the effect of confusing the mind, it will undoubtedly have a big impact on the overall power of the Tao realm.
In other words, for the Lin siblings' realm, opponents like the Crypt Lord are somewhat their nemesis.
What's more, the cultivation level of the Lin family siblings is not the true Yuan Shen realm, but relies on the external Yuan Shen energy supply equipment to possess the Yuan Shen level mana. When the Dao domain cannot exert its full power, the combat power that the two siblings can exert is probably only a little stronger than those parallel souls.
Therefore, the Lin family siblings could only combine their efforts to be able to compete with this Crypt Lord.
On the other side, most of Su Ying Zhenjun's strength was based on charm. Facing such an opponent, he was quite unable to do anything. He could only fight with Qi Qianjun against a Crypt Lord. And although Qi Qianjun is a peerless genius, after all, he is only at the Nascent Soul realm, and has not comprehended any Tao realm. Naturally, it is also difficult for him to fight against the crypt lord alone.
Although the four great demon kings have undergone genetic modulation, this is to increase the upper limit of their strength improvement, which does not mean that their strength will increase greatly as soon as they come out. However, the four of them are not weak in strength, so they can each take on a Crypt Lord, but it is not easy to win.
Finally, there was little Loli left, who had put on the Yuan Shen Mecha again, surrounding a Crypt Lord and swinging the giant hammer in her hand from time to time. However, facing several Crypt Lords, it was difficult for the little Lolita to stare at one stably and could only constantly shuttle between various battlefields, looking for the right time to strike.
Seeing this situation, Ye Zan immediately took out the jade ball, and released more than a dozen Yuan Shen mechanical warriors from the jade ball. Although he captured a lot of parallel souls in the positive and negative Five Elements Formation, it was difficult to turn them all into mechanical warriors. Therefore, these are all the Yuan Shen Mechanical Warriors he has in hand so far, and he can only build one and then release one.
But to be honest, for opponents like the Crypt Lord, the Yuan Shen Mechanical Warrior can only play a certain role in containing them. The carapace of those Crypt Lords is too hard, and the attack power of the Yuan Shen Mechanical Warriors is difficult to break through. No matter how many there are, it will have no effect.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, think of a solution quickly! If this continues, I'm afraid we will be buried here!" Seeing that the current battle situation was not optimistic, Zhenjun Wenhua shouted anxiously.
The words of Wenhua Zhenjun seem to be a bit exaggerated, but it depends on the angle from which they are said. Even though strong men like True Lord Qinghong and Li Luan could not kill their opponents quickly, they were far from being killed. The Lin family siblings, as well as Qi Qianjun and Xiao Loli, are all very close to Ye Zan, and Ye Zan will definitely not see them in danger.
However, although the three of them, True Lord Wenhua, had given the true spirit to Ye Zan, their relationship with Ye Zan was not that good. Therefore, what the three of them fear most is that if the war situation gets really bad, maybe Ye Zan and the others will simply give up on the three of them. After all, the three of them followed here and knew from the beginning that they and others were positioned as cannon fodder in Ye Zan's team.
Hearing Zhenjun Wenhua's cry, Ye Zan couldn't help but frown slightly, and knew what the other party was worried about. However, he did not waste time to explain, but said loudly: "Everyone, please hold on for a moment, and I will come as soon as I leave."
After saying this, a beam of light shot out from the jade ball and enveloped Ye Zan, who was hanging in the air, leading Ye Zan into the space of the jade ball.
Ye Zan certainly did not run away from the battlefield. After entering the Jade Ball Space, he immediately came to the Research Center of the Jade Ball Space. In front of a testing equipment, Ye Zan opened his clenched fists and revealed several small flying insects in his palms. These little flying insects came from those crypt lords. They were caught by True Lord Qinghong when he crushed the crypt lord before.
Just now outside, Ye Zan had seen the scene of everyone fighting against the crypt lords, and also used the eye of true knowledge to check the weaknesses of the crypt lords. Originally, what he wanted was to find the weaknesses of the crypt lords, and then he could guide everyone to kill those crypt lords one by one. However, the Eye of True Knowledge met its nemesis this time. It found no obvious weakness that could be exploited in the Crypt Lord composed of infinite insects.
After all, those bugs gather to form the Crypt Lord. In fact, each bug is an independent individual, and there is no so-called center or core. The only way to get rid of these little bugs is to blast them away with a force that exceeds the opponent's endurance limit just like how we dealt with the Crypt Lord before. But the problem is that everyone on Ye Zan's side is held back by their respective opponents, and now it is difficult to concentrate their efforts as before.
Therefore, Ye Zan thought of technological means, not high-power weapons, but some biological and genetic means.
To put it bluntly, Ye Zan wants to make pesticides.
You must know that the biggest characteristic of technology, or the purpose of technological development, is to use small efforts to accomplish big things. A heavy object cannot be lifted by human strength, so there are levers, pulleys and other labor-saving transportation methods. Later, people only need to press a button to lift hundreds or thousands of tons of weight. This is the power of technology.
These crypt lords are made up of endless small insects and have very strong defense power. Now, since it is difficult to break through this defense with strength, let's directly target the individual bugs and give them a wave of biochemical attacks.
Designing targeted viruses or chemical drugs based on the characteristics of a certain gene is not a big deal in the technological world. During the Great Interstellar Migration, humans used this method more than once to completely exterminate "harmful organisms" on the colonized planets. As for the ecological balance of the colonized planet, that is not a consideration for humans. After all, if humans want to survive, they can only compete with other creatures for living space.
What Ye Zan needs to do now is to create a drug that can effectively kill this small insect based on its genes.
The reason why Ye Zan did this was that there was probably a more powerful crypt lord in the crypt the size of a football field. Instead of relying on strength to destroy those crypt lords one by one now, it is better to make preparations in advance to avoid losing time in the future.
While Ye Zan was studying the genes of small insects in the Jade Ball space, the battle outside the Jade Ball was also continuing. Moreover, the entire battle situation is indeed what Zhenjun Ru Wenhua is worried about, and is constantly developing in an unfavorable direction. Although several strong men on Ye Zan's side have the ability to suppress the Crypt Lord one-on-one, it is difficult to really get such an opportunity. After all, this requires the strength of other companions.
Therefore, in just ten minutes, the situation on the battlefield has changed dramatically. Everyone on Ye Zan's side, whether it was True Lord Qinghong, Li Luan, or the four great demon kings, had to give up their respective opponents and join forces to resist the siege of many crypt lords. Moreover, some of the weaker ones, such as Zhenjun Wenhua, the Lin family siblings and Qi Qianjun, also had some glory.
At this moment, the jade ball in the sky shot down a beam of light again, and Ye Zan finally appeared in front of everyone again. Fortunately, everyone focused on the position of the jade ball for defense, so that after Ye Zan came out of the jade ball, he would not be besieged by the crypt lords.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, if you have any means, use it as soon as possible. I can't hold on for long!" Seeing Ye Zan come out of the jade ball, Wenhua Zhenjun felt as if he had seen a savior. He turned to Ye Zan without caring about his image. Zan shouted.
Ye Zan glanced at everyone and saw that although everyone was wearing some paint on their bodies, overall they were not seriously injured, let alone attrition, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. Hearing the cry of True Lord Wenhua, Ye Zan stopped wasting time and immediately said to everyone: "Fellow Taoists, please hold your breath!"
Although everyone around them didn't know what Ye Zan was going to do, since Ye Zan had clearly reminded him, no one wanted to try the consequences of disobedience. So, while everyone was holding their breath as instructed, Ye Zan also took out a honeycomb launcher from the Qiankun Ring and pressed the launch button.
Suddenly, a large number of micro missiles poured out of the hive like a swarm of bees, flying in all directions around them. These micro missiles all have intelligent control chips, so they do not fly in a straight line like bullets, but can fly in a direction under control and explode at a fixed point. Therefore, while some missiles flew towards the front, more missiles drew arcs in the air, flying towards the left, right and behind Ye Zan and others.
"Boom boom boom!"
The roar was instantly heard, but the explosion of the missile was not very dazzling, but clouds of light blue smoke were raised after the explosion. The smoke, under the impact of the explosion, quickly spread to the surroundings, seeming to seal the space around Ye Zan and others, and also submerged the figures of more than a dozen Crypt Lords in the blue mist.
Ye Zan just fired a wave, put away the hive launcher, then stretched out his palm to push forward, and a force field surrounded everyone inside. Everyone could clearly see that there seemed to be a transparent wall around them, blocking out all the spreading blue mist, without even a trace penetrating in.
"Okay, fellow Taoists, there is no need to hold your breath." Ye Zan said to everyone.
"Brother Xian, did you use any poison?" Qinghong Zhenjun looked at the rolling blue mist outside and asked Ye Zan with some curiosity.
"That's right, Brother Dao Dao and you guys were outside trying to buy me time just now. I prepared some medicine for this bug in the Jade Ball Space. Now I just need to wait for the medicine to take effect." Ye Zan made no secret of it. He explained to Zhenjun Qinghong and others.
