According to the records of beasts rankings in the Eastern Region, the ordinary blade locusts were considered level three monsters.
However, the difference between other beasts that were level three and the blade locusts was that blade locusts never appeared alone.
"If you come across a single blade locust, there are at least two thousand more behind that one!"
Although it was an exaggeration, it showed just how vast the numbers were, and so the saying spread throughout the south.
In the face of such vast numbers of blade locusts, refiners were afraid to deal with them, whether were half a step into the nature level or at nature level.
At present, disciples from the Cloud Sect had managed to kill a few hundred blade locusts, because each one had good strength.
Blade locust corpses were piled high around the wreckage, accumulating a body hill.
No matter how high the pile of dead blade locusts got, it seemed endless amounts were coming at the disciples!
"Aah!" came a sudden scream. It was a disciple rushing the blade locusts in a drastic move. Even if the others wanted to save him, it was too late. In an instant, a large group of locusts knocked him to the ground and were gnawing his limbs, until nothing remained and the blade locusts scattered.
As the other disciples watched this gnarly scene, a shiver went through each of them.
No one wanted to be the next to be ripped apart and eaten alive by these gruesome monsters.
Wave on wave of blade locusts came at them though, and once everyone's energy was sapped, they would die.
As the onslaught continued, the disciples felt their melancholy attitudes deepening within, and their attacks became weaker.
It was now that one of the disciples shouted, "Cheer up! No slacking now, it's not that bad! We should counterattack! If we roll over and let them break us, we'll all die right here!"
"Zing!" A purple energy arrow of life vitality was let loose, whizzing into the mass of blade locusts, and instantly thrusting through more than ten.
"Bam!" Blazing flames exploded, coloring a patch of sky red. The powerful fire incinerated dozens of blade locusts, leaving the charred stench death in the air.
It was the nature level refiners using their unique skills to fight.
The others in their ranks were significantly encouraged by this display of force, and were reinvigorated, beginning to battle with all their strength.
Rushing in and out among the horde of locusts, Zen used his power of Purple Light Fist. It was not all that powerful, yet, through the advantage of his body's strength, he killed eight blade locusts in a short time.
In the heat of the battle, there was a scream, "Alert, everyone! Incoming, blade locust officers!"
Zen looked up, along with all the others fighting for their lives. The sight of dozens of purple blade locusts among legions of green ordinary blade locusts was approaching them. The purple officers were almost twice the size of the ordinary ones. They appeared hideous and misshapen and covering the skin on their bodies were dense bony thorns.
'Are these purple monstrosities the blade locust officers?'
