He focused all his attention on the five soul-controlling insect bodies, and the defense around Ye Li was handed over to Niu Shan and others.
He simply activated the Wind Ring and rushed towards the soul-controlling insect body at the fastest speed, and two soul-exploding talismans appeared in his hands.
Without hesitation, Ye Li began to release two gray ripples from his hands, covering the monster with the soul insect body.
He moved quickly. He had to take advantage of the time when these soul-controlling insects could not react and launch his attack on them.
In just a few breaths, three soul-controlling insects were already confused and frozen in place by Ye Li's soul-blasting talisman.
Although the remaining two also discovered Ye Li's intention and prepared to escape, Ye Li, who had been fully prepared, would not give them any chance at all.
With a sudden force of his feet, Ye Li rushed out of the team and rushed into the group of monsters at the fastest speed.
Fortunately, most of the monsters around him at this moment were unable to move because they had lost control of their soul-controlling insect bodies. In addition, Niu Shan and others followed closely behind him, constantly defending against attacks for him, so he could launch the attack with peace of mind.
Soon, the last two soul-controlling insects were unable to escape the attack of the soul-exploding talisman due to Ye Li's rapid approach. When Ye Li almost exhausted his spiritual power, they finally entered a state of soul confusion.
Ye Li endured the severe pain in his head and began to release two heavy golden sun fingers in succession.
The condensed flames passed through the group of monsters and shot into the heads of three monsters, directly killing the soul-controlling insect bodies attached to the back of the monsters' heads.
The remaining two soul-controlling insect bodies were completely turned into powder under the deliberate attack of Niu Shan and others.
With the death of the five soul-controlling insects, the surrounding army of monsters that could originally easily defend against the attacks of everyone began to gradually collapse.
The death of five soul-controlling insects took away the power of forty monsters.
After waking up, these monsters, also due to extreme exhaustion in their souls, had no will to fight at all. They immediately abandoned their other monster companions and turned around to flee.
Of the sixty or so monsters that existed before, only twenty or so were left in an instant, and their combat effectiveness plummeted to the bottom.
Ye Li, who was unable to fight anymore, retreated to the safest area of the team under the protection of everyone. Mu Tianzhi had already given him a pill to restore his spiritual power in advance.
He also swallowed the pill at this time and began to wait for the recovery of his spiritual power. Relying on the acceleration of the Wind Light Ring and physical strength, Ye Li kept moving with the team. Although he had almost no defensive ability, he was still able to barely protect himself by dodging.
The most important thing is that the remaining twenty or so monsters can no longer pose a threat to everyone. With the team basically safe, they continue to attack the remaining monsters while starting to destroy the dam.
Soon, a huge gap was opened on the side of the dam facing the valley.
The heavy water that had been stored began to rush out through the gap and flow back into the Jiaolong Pool. The water level in the dam gradually dropped and the crisis was gradually resolved.
The remaining twenty or so monsters originally wanted to risk their lives to break through the dam and release the water into the valley, which would more or less kill a number of humans.
But Niu Shan and his men did not give these monsters any chance. With the concerted efforts of more than fifty people, they pinned all the monsters down on the spot.
After fighting for almost half an hour, all the monsters were finally killed, even though they tried their best to protect the soul-controlling insect bodies.
Otherwise, if everyone prioritizes getting rid of the soul-controlling insect body, the battle will end earlier.
However, this also made everyone realize one thing. If they cannot solve the problem of the soul-controlling insects in one go, it will not be easy to kill them by trickery after they are prepared.
After the last monster fell, everyone in the team cheered and a look of relief appeared on their faces.
After all, what they just did saved almost all the core troops.
If they hadn't appeared in time, plus the more than half an hour just now, the water level here would basically have reached the height of the cliff.
If the monsters destroyed the dam at this time, the rushing flood would instantly pour into the entire valley, and there would definitely not be many guards who could survive.
After a short rest and recovering their spiritual energy and consciousness, everyone planned to go into the valley to look for the main force.
However, they didn't expect that as soon as they got up, they saw a large group of hundreds of people running towards them in the valley.
Everyone who saw all this immediately said to themselves, "That was a close call." If they had arrived a little later, they would probably not have been able to prevent this disaster.
The main force of the guard army on the opposite side also saw the people who were resting here, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
Because in their opinion, they should be the fastest group, so how could there be anyone else in the Jiaolong Pool ahead
Niu Shan had already stood up and led everyone to meet the main force.
When an old man who was leading the main force saw Niu Shan and others, he looked a little puzzled and asked first: "Niu Shan, Youqi, why are you here?"
When Niu Shan heard the old man's question, he bowed his head and said, "To answer the commander-in-chief, we took a shortcut here just to stop the monsters' conspiracy..."
Niu Shan then reported everything that had happened before, including their speculation that the soul-controlling insects were building a dam and preparing to flood the valley.
After listening to Niu Shan’s report, the old man and the others around them all showed expressions of extreme shock.
The old man grabbed Niu Shan's shoulder and said, "Niu Shan, you said that the monsters here are all controlled by soul-controlling insects
No wonder... No wonder their fighting power has become so strong, and they are so cunning.
We originally thought that this valley was a gap that the monsters accidentally revealed, and they had no time to tighten the encirclement.
But we didn't expect that this was actually a trap they set for us, just to lure us in so that they could kill us together.
They actually know how to use water traps to kill people. The intelligence of these soul-controlling insects is probably no less than that of humans.
Also, Niu Shan, you just said that these soul-controlling insect mothers can continuously lay eggs to make up for the loss of their offspring and continue to control the monsters' attacks. Are you sure?"
Niu Shan glanced at Ye Li next to him and said, "General Commander, this is what Brother Ye Li told us.
Thanks to his knowledge of soul-controlling insects, we were able to rescue all of us along the way. I was even able to figure out the dam trap here thanks to Ye Li's reminder.
I have great trust in what he says.”
