Chapter 159: Mutated Insects

Leaving these words behind, Xiu Wu walked quickly towards the door. Seeing his anxious look, Zhu Lin quickly stood up and followed him out. Before walking out of the kitchen, Zhu Lin turned to look at Lu Qiu and said, "High God Lu Qiu, can you stay and take care of the children?"

Since Lu Qiu had just returned to his human form, he needed to rest to stabilize his body. He nodded and said, "No problem."

"Thank you."

After Zhu Lin thanked him, she quickly chased after Xiu Wu. The moment she left the villa, her expression changed when she saw the mutated insects crawling out of the soil.

Seeing that Xiu Wu had already begun to evacuate the ordinary people, Zhu Lin observed the whole situation calmly. After a while, she noticed something. She looked into the ice flower pendant, as if looking for something.

A few seconds later, she found what she was looking for and took it out of the ice flower pendant. Holding the small black branch in her left hand, Zhu Lin looked around and found that there was a supernatural being shooting fireballs at a group of mutated insects.

She ran quickly to the man and said, "Excuse me, please help me light this branch."

Hearing her clear and melodious voice, the man turned around and was stunned by her beauty. While the man was still staring at her, Zhu Lin saw another group of mutated insects crawling toward them and said, "Young Master, if you don’t want to be eaten by these mutated insects, please help me ignite this branch with your fire element ability."

The man suddenly came back to his senses when he heard her words. Seeing that the mutated insects were very close to him, he quickly summoned fire with his index finger and burned one end of the black branch. He tried for a few seconds, but still couldn’t ignite the branch.

The man was anxious and asked hurriedly: "What kind of branch is this? Why can’t my ability ignite it up?"

Seeing that they were already surrounded by mutated insects, Zhu Lin said calmly: "Don’t panic. Let’s clean up the mutated insects first."

After speaking, she took out a low grade fire element talisman. Holding the fire element talisman between her index and middle fingers, Zhu Lin said calmly: "Burn."

As soon as she finished speaking, a small red formation appeared in front of the talisman. The next second, blue flames burst out from the red formation, burning all the surrounding mutated insects into ashes. When the man was still stunned after seeing Zhu Lin summoning blue flames from a piece of paper, she looked around and spotted Tan Wei in the distance.

Zhu Lin continued to send spiritual energy to the fire element talisman while running towards Tan Wei. Along the way, she burned all mutated insects around her into ashes.

Tan Wei saw her running over and asked in surprise: "Xiao Lin? Why are you here?"

Zhu Lin showed him the black branch and said, "Help me ignite this branch with your fire element ability."

Tan Wei looked at the fire element talisman between her fingers that was still spitting blue flame and asked in confusion: "You have your own fire. Why do you need my fire?"

Zhu Lin shook her head and said, "The fire produced by this low grade fire element talisman is too weak to ignite this branch. Your ability has reached level four, and your fire should be strong enough to ignite this branch."

After hearing what she said, Tan Wei took the black branch from her palm, summoned a flame to light the branch, and asked at the same time: "What kind of branch is this that even your fire element talisman can’t burn?"

"This is a branch of the Phoenix Tree. The flames produced by this low grade fire element talisman cannot even heat it up." Zhu Lin said while roasting another group of mutated insects into ashes.

Tan Wei looked curiously at the five-centimeter-long black branch between his fingers while burning one end of the branch with fire. After a few minutes, he finally managed to ignite the brand. As a thin stream of smoke came from the end of that small branch of the Phoenix Tree, Tan Wei inhaled some of the smoke and felt refreshed.

The moment a thin smoke emerged from the end of the branch of the Phoenix Tree, the mutated insects froze in place. A second later, all the mutated insects rushed towards Tan Wei crazily. Tan Wei’s scalp went numb when he saw the scene in front of him.

Seeing the crazy mutated insects rushing towards the two of them, Zhu Lin took the branch of the Phoenix Tree from Tan Wei’s fingers, activated the Thousand Moon Steps technique, and ran away. When Tan Wei realized what she was doing, Zhu Lin had disappeared, and all he could see was a sea of mutated ​​insects pouring out of the resort area, chasing after her crazily.

With a small black branch of the Phoenix Tree in her left hand to lure the mutated insects, and a fire element talisman in her right hand to roast the mutated insects that were getting closer, Zhu Lin kept running towards S City. Twenty minutes later, she arrived at the suburbs of S city.

When she saw that the mutated insects were attacking supernatural beings instead of ordinary people, Zhu Lin already guessed that these mutated insects were attracted by the spiritual energy inside the bodies of the supernatural beings. Using the divine energy of this small piece of Phoenix Tree branch to lure the mutated insects, she can rid the soil beneath the resort area of all mutated insects at once.

Zhu Lin frowned slightly when she saw that there were more zombies in the suburbs of S City than the last time she came. She then jumped off the building while scanning the area that could be used to trap the mutated insects.
