Chapter 257

Chu Yunsheng also saw the cloaked man’s reaction. So in order to cover up the energy moment, he quickly shouted in surprise, “lord fire messenger, I think I might have unlocked the module!”

The cloaked man was dazed by his shout, its first reaction was that it was not possible. Even if the people from the ice race also could not unlock the module in this short amount of time, let alone this human being.

But then again, it could not explain the energy moment it felt earlier. The only possibility was that it was the energy fluctuation caused by the module being unlocked.

‘This human is unreasonably lucky!’

The cloaked man snorted and speeded up waving its sword to kill the insects. It was more and more concerned about Chu Yunsheng, this human.

The completion of the third stage of Rong Yuan made Chu Yunsheng relieved. All he needed to do next was to find out what the rules of each functionality module were!

“Lord fire messenger, I felt the functionality modules, could you tell me the rules of using the modules now?” Chu Yunsheng shouted again.

The cloaked man did not answer this time, it was waving its sword rapidly to clear the insects in the swarm.

Chu Yunsheng was scared that the cloaked would refuse to tell him the methods, so he hopped on a green-shelled insect, pretending to escape again, “lord fire messenger, since you are not true to your word, I don’t think I will have future, so I am not staying here anymore!”

The cloaked man blocked a round of a swarm of insects’ charge and said coldly “Listen carefully, I only said it once…”

There was still a hope to get the method. Chu Yunsheng thought. Then he immediately interrupted the cloaked man, “Lord fire messenger, if you are sincere, I will definitely work for you, but if you are not, then I will leave immediately, I will test it while you say it, so please do not give me anything that is useless…”

The cloaked man was furious at the way Chu Yunsheng threatened him, even its words were filled with anger, “Fine, the method of transforming into flames is… The cloaking method is…”

The cloaked man was saying the method very quickly and Chu Yunsheng was trying to catch every single word it said. Although he could not test it, he just wanted to remember it all and try it in the future…

The energy inside Chu Yunsheng’s body had already settled down, and he was concentrating on remembering the methods the cloaked man said, so when the cloaked man finished, he actually remembered most of them. However, he still asked, “lord fire messenger, you were saying it too fast, I could not remember it all, can you repeat it one more time?”

The cloaked man sneered, it did not say anything but started to repeat the words immediately. It seemed like it had forgotten what it said earlier…

The reason why Chu Yunsheng asked the cloaked man to repeat it was that if the cloaked man was lying, then there would definitely be mistakes when it repeated the second time. No one was able to construct a perfect lie in such a short amount of time, even if it was an alien…

The way that the cloaked man repeated the methods for the second time was very strange. The content it was saying was almost the same. However, it was saying it very slowly. When Chu Yunsheng just heard half of it, a strange bright light suddenly burst out from the bottom of the tomb, along with a loud noise that seemed to be created by a powerful fire ability when it split open the third-dimensional space…

An intense heat instantly blew up, then a red shadow appeared in a cloud of flame as if it was a rapidly ascending rocket, all the insects and the tubes that were around it were blown away by the explosion.

The cloaked man was secretly gathering its energy earlier on. That was why it intentionally slowed down its talking speed. It wanted to distract Chu Yunsheng. When it gathered enough energy, it instantly released a massive area attack and successfully broke out of the swarm.

Two purple flame monsters instantly cast out their energy ripples at the cloaked man. However, the cloaked man ignored the attacks, charging straight at Chu Yunsheng.

Originally, Chu Yunsheng wanted to open the entrance of the tomb and let more insects in after the cloaked man finished. However, he did not expect that the cloaked man would attack before he did it. But luckily, his hand was holding an ice trap talisman all the time, so when the cloaked man charged towards him, he instantly activated the ice trap talisman.

The cloaked man was instantly frozen along with its ability.

“Crack…”

A huge ice trap was instantly formed and its massive body was falling downwards rapidly. However, when Chu Yunsheng took another look at the trap, there was nothing inside the trap!

His heart instantly sank. This was the first time he encountered something like this. How did he not trap the target!

In the next second, the cloaked man suddenly appeared from the side of the ice trap, it quickly shook off some ice pieces from its cloke and carried on charging towards Chu Yunsheng. At the same time, it shouted excitedly “T-A-L-I-S-M-A-N…” Chu Yunsheng could clearly feel the alien’s excitement from its shaking voice.

“Shit! ” Chu Yunsheng cursed.

He immediately ordered the green-shelled insect below him to fly away and tubes to slow down the cloaked man. He did not cast out the ice trap talisman again because he did not believe in luck.

The reason why he could freeze the last cloaked man was that there was another alien helping him, but this time, there was just himself here, not to mention that this cloaked man was much more powerful than the last one.

“Puff!”

The cloaked man cast out a huge flaming blade to cut off the incoming tubes. The flaming blade continuously flew towards Chu Yunsheng after it cut many tubes in half. Luckily, they were blocked by the cloak and Chu Yunsheng’s armour.

Chu Yunsheng knew that if he wanted to fight this alien, he needed to get more help, so he immediately ordered the green-shelled insect to speed up and the tomb to open the entrance. The swarm once again flocked in.

He was no longer worried if the cloaked man was going to run away, no matter the last cloaked man or the woman in the white dress, whoever saw the talisman would immediately lose their minds!

After being hit by the flaming blades 7 or 8 times, finally, a large number of green-shelled insects arrived and joined the fight.

The golden-shelled Insects and the red-shelled insects’ attack range was not far, so they could not assist Chu Yunsheng from the ground, but there were some long thin snake-like cannon insects constantly spitting out huge blazing fireballs upwards to help him.

The arrival of the green-shelled insects reduced a lot of pressure for Chu Yunsheng, but the cloaked man’s flaming blades still made him almost throw up blood. The intense heat and the blazing fire made his armour constantly emitting smoke. If it were not for the fact that he had armour, cloak and energy shield three layers of protection, he would’ve been killed already.

Chu Yunsheng took the opportunity while the cloaked man was busy killing the green-shelled insects and flew higher. At the same time, he once again cast out the second ice trap talisman.

“Crack!”

This time, the cloaked man was frozen with the green-shelled insects.

Chu Yunsheng knew that the ice trap talisman wouldn’t be able to trap the cloaked man for long, so he immediately cast out the sword fighting techniques, attempting to injure it before it broke out of the ice.

Compared to the sword Qi he cast out in the Jin Ling city, this time he used the First Sword Form – Broken Stab! Although he was not familiar with the sword form, he had no other choice.

In a split second, 18 sword Qi instantly appeared in front of Chu Yunsheng, while Chu Yunsheng quickly reciting the incantations of the first sword form, 18 sword Qi quickly merged together one by one, and each time they were merged together, he seemed to feel the rules or the principle of some sort of formation inside, and each time, the sword Qi would become brighter!

This was completely different than him “manually” merging all the sword Qi together, through the Qi blades, Chu Yunsheng could clearly feel that the merging blade contained some complicated rules and overwhelming energy.

“Bang!”

The ice trap was destroyed by the cloaked man.

At that moment, the sword blade that contained 18 sword Qi flew towards the cloaked man at a speed that was not visible to Chu Yunsheng’s eyes, it left with only a glowing trail behind.

The space around the cloaked man suddenly distorted, then a high-frequency noise appeared, it seemed like something was cracked.

“Impossible!” The cloaked shouted in shock, “how can a human’s attack break Xián Bo energy Shield?”

Chu Yunsheng was even more surprised that the cloaked man just stood there as if nothing had happened! There was not even a hole in its body!

But if he knew that his first attempt damaged 20% of the cloaked man’s Xuan Bo energy shield, he probably would not be as surprised as now.

Chu Yunsheng immediately flew away after the attack did not injure the cloaked man. At the same time, he ordered other green-shelled insects to surround the cloaked man again to maximize his advantages.

Until the cloaked man was surrounded again, Chu Yunsheng cast out the third ice trap talisman, and then the Sword Form the second time, but the cloaked man still was not injured…

The fourth time…

Not injured…

The fifth attack…

Not injured…

Finally, at the sixth time, the space around the cloaked man seemed to have suddenly collapsed. Its energy shield was completely shattered.

There were not many green-shelled insects left. So when the white beam-like sword Qi pierced through the cloaked man, the cloaked man’s flaming blade also hit the Chu Yunsheng’s armour.

“Puff!”

Chu Yunsheng once again felt the intense heat, and this time, he spat out blood. But when the blood just came out of his mouth, it instantly became a cloud of steam.

The green-shelled insect underneath him was already split into half by the attack, and there was a huge dent in the armour as well.

Compared to the cloaked man’s situation, Chu Yunsheng’s injury was nothing. The cloaked man had two defensive layers less than Chu Yunsheng. It only had a battle suit left. Despite the battle suit trying to stop the Qi blade, the Qi blade still made a bloody hole in the cloaked man’s body.

“How come… human… be powerful… to this extent!?” the cloaked man knelt down on the top-level of the tomb and murmured in pain, “Not… possible… Not… possi…”

At first, it was talking in Mandarin… but slowly Chu Yunsheng did not understand anything it said, but he also did not want to listen to it anymore. The cloaked man seemed to have lost its ability to fight, and Chu Yunsheng was not sure about what he wanted to do next.

He wanted to seal the cloaked man, but he did not dare to. Just sealing a baby Min, it almost killed him. He was lucky that he did not die last time. But it made him become an old man. If it happened one more time when he tried to seal this alien, then he would not have much life left to be absorbed by the talisman. He might even become a zombie.

So Chu Yunsheng was hesitant. But just when he was struggling to make a decision, Min, who was ordered to hide in the tomb, suddenly bounced out of nowhere. It bounced towards the cloaked man and inserted a transparent tube into the face of the cloaked man. It was constantly sending the request of sucking the cloaked man’s brain to Chu Yunsheng.

Chu Yunsheng had experienced this type of request before, it was at the time when Ren Sanbao and a few other skywalkers were killed by his green-shelled insects, and the green-shelled insects also sent out this type of request to him at that time.

At that time, he did not find out the reason why, and he was also scared to make more experiments, but now the situation seemed to be a little bit different.

‘Hmm… the alien’s should be fine, right? At least, it is not human… But…’ The request of Min also gave Chu Yunsheng a difficult question. However, just when Chu Yunsheng thought that it should be fine, “Min” immediately started to suck the brain out of the cloaked man without further permissions.

Chu Yunsheng was dazed for split second, then he started to observe the reaction of “Min”

Soon, the cloaked man was sucked dry. But Chu Yunsheng clearly felt that Min’s excitement did not reduce any.

Then he found out the reason why it was excited. Through the spiritual connection, Chu Yunsheng clearly felt that the mind of Min suddenly had many disorganized “information”. He did not understand them, neither did “Min”. It seemed like Min was not mature enough to decode the information. However, it still made Min very excited.

In that split second, Chu Yunsheng suddenly realised the real terror of the insect race. It was not just the horrifying breeding ability, what made them even scarier was that their Wisdom Unit, Min. It even had the ability to absorb other creature’s information and study it!

No wonder why those insects like to suck human’s brains!
