As the third round of attack broke out, the blood thorn insects that rushed over also took action. The gray-white branches in the sky protected the blood thorn insects while attacking Yang Qi and others.
Boom! Boom!
Countless gray-white branches and fierce attacks collided with each other, and immediately there was a series of earth-shaking noises, and the gray-white powder of that day vibrated.
Although there were many blood thorn worms rushing over, their hasty defense was still unable to withstand the full-scale outbreak of Yang Qi and others, and the remaining power once again engulfed the location of the second blood thorn worm.
After three rounds of attacks, Meng Xuan saw the blood thorn insects that had gathered together and were coming towards him. He immediately shouted, "Retreat!"
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Before Meng Xuan finished his words, Yang Qi and the others immediately retreated violently, preparing to evacuate. After all, there was still some gap between their strength and that of the blood thorn worms. If they confronted head-on, they would definitely be the ones who would suffer.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Although everyone had a good idea, as soon as they took action, the blood thorn insects that arrived took action, and the gray-white branches in the sky poured down madly towards Yang Qi and others.
Faced with the incoming attack, Yang Qi and others did not dare to be careless. They tried their best to resist the incoming attack while quickly retreating towards the depths of the blood-colored fog.
Boom! Boom!
Everyone fought and retreated, but the blood thorn worms were chasing them relentlessly, constantly attacking Yang Qi and his group. Unfortunately, the blood thorn worms were too slow. Apart from the initial attacks that could cause some trouble to Yang Qi and his group, once they had a little distance, the attacks of those blood thorn worms could no longer threaten Yang Qi and his group.
Relying on their speed advantage, Yang Qi and his team quickly distanced themselves from the blood thorn worms and left the battlefield, but the blood thorn worms were still chasing them closely from behind.
Wow~Wow~
After getting rid of the battlefield, everyone immediately stopped using the secret technique. After all, there are side effects to using the secret technique, and the longer the secret technique lasts, the more serious the side effects will be.
Now everyone has distanced themselves from the blood thorn worms. Even if the secret technique has some side effects that temporarily reduce their strength, as long as they are not entangled by the blood thorn worms, with their speed, the blood thorn worms will never be able to catch up with them. Naturally, there is no need to continue to maintain the secret technique.
Yang Qi looked into the depths of the blood-colored mist, looking at the looming strange tree shapes, frowning, and said in a deep voice, "These blood thorn insects are not giving up yet."
"Don't worry about them, they can't catch up with us anyway." He Chuan said indifferently.
Their goal had been achieved. They had killed two blood thorn worms and weakened their overall strength. Now that they had safely gotten rid of the blood thorn worms, they had no chance of catching up with them at their speed, so they naturally couldn't keep chasing them. Just like the blood thorn worms that chased Yang Qi and others, they chased them all the way, but after a while, they had no choice but to give up.
Hearing He Chuan's words, everyone nodded and continued to distance themselves from the blood-thorn insect swarm without slowing down. Soon, the shape of the strange tree could no longer be seen. However, everyone did not stop, but continued to retreat. After retreating for a distance, everyone sent out insect beasts to investigate along the retreat route.
Through the induction with the insect beast, Meng Xuan found that the blood thorn worms were no longer chasing him. A smile appeared on his face, and he slowly said, "The blood thorn worms are no longer chasing us."
The blood thorn worms were no longer chasing them, so they didn't need to retreat any further and could stay where they were to rest.
Meng Xuan glanced at everyone and asked in a deep voice, "How long will it take for the side effects of your secret technique to disappear?"
"Three days!"
"Five days!"
Upon hearing this, everyone did not hide anything and immediately told each other about their recovery period from the side effects, which took the longest five days.
Although everyone had used secret methods to deal with the blood thorn worms before, they were not desperate secret methods with serious side effects. In addition, the entire sneak attack only lasted for a few breaths, so the side effects would naturally not last too long.
Meng Xuan raised his eyebrows, looked at everyone and said, "The longest side effect is five days, so we will find an opportunity after five days to launch a second sneak attack."
After this was said, everyone nodded. It was impossible to carry out a sneak attack for the second time in a short period of time. After all, the blood thorn worms would definitely be on guard after the sneak attack. Taking advantage of the side effects, the blood thorn worms would relax their vigilance and prepare for the next sneak attack.
Yang Qi looked at Meng Xuan and said slowly, "So what should we do in the next five days?"
The side effects of the secret technique will only recover with the passage of time. Their consumption in the previous battle was actually not that great, and they will be able to recover soon. Can't they wait here for the side effects of the secret technique to heal for the remaining five days
When Meng Xuan heard Yang Qi's words, he smiled and said, "In the next five days, we have a lot to do."
Hearing this, Yang Qi and the other six changed their expressions. According to the original plan, they killed the blood thorn worms and then broke the formation. Now the plan to kill the blood thorn worms is in progress, and breaking the formation should be a matter of time later. But now Meng Xuan said that they still have a lot of things to do. How can they not be surprised
Seeing the changes in Yang Qi and the others' expressions, Meng Xuan knew what they were thinking, and quickly said, "In the next few days, the most urgent task is to find out whether there are only the two groups of blood thorn insects we encountered in the formation. If there are other groups of blood thorn insects, we have to find a way to deal with them."
Other bloodthorn worm swarms!
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Yang Qi and others couldn't help but become serious. Before they met Meng Xuan and others, there was a similar dividing formation that separated them.
Although the areas where the two sides were located became one after they destroyed the surface environment, does this mean that there were only two groups of blood thorn insects that they encountered in the formation
Obviously not!
They must investigate again, thoroughly investigate, to find out exactly how many groups of blood thorn worms there are in the formation, so that they can determine how many blood thorn worms they need to deal with.
"In addition to investigating other possible blood thorn worm groups, we also have to investigate the large formation. After all, after killing the blood thorn worms, we have to break the formation. Let's investigate it now and prepare for breaking the formation in the future." Meng Xuan spoke again.
Hearing Meng Xuan's words, everyone nodded. In the next few days, they were all in the recovery period and did not need to fight the blood thorn worms. Taking advantage of these few days to investigate the possible existence of blood thorn worms and the situation of the formation, and prepare for the next step, was undoubtedly the best arrangement.
"I hope there are no other blood thorn worm swarms, otherwise it will not be an easy task to deal with the blood thorn worms alone." Liu Qian said with emotion. (To be continued)
