Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 664 - The Lizards Formed A Nest

Chapter 664: The Lizards Formed A Nest

A whirlwind was stirred up as Big Yellow ran into the distance at lightning speed.
Although Ou Yangming was on its back, it did not notice it at all. Based on its strength at the moment, not to mention 1 Ou Yangming, even if there were 10 of him, it would not be bothered.
Nonetheless, 6 figures were pursuing them closely at the back. The pursuers did not relax at all as though they were maggots clinging to corpses.
Ou Yangming and Big Yellow looked at each other. They exchanged glances and made a decision.
In actuality, even when Ou Yangming planned everything, he didn’t expect everything to go so smoothly.
Once the 6 high-rank lizards sensed the auras that he and the big yellow dog left behind on purpose, they chased after them as if they had gone mad. Needless to say, they were only being so unrestrained because they thought they were confident about taking down Ou Yangming and Big Yellow. If the big lazy turtle showed up here too, they would have been more cautious.
Ou Yangming picked up some big branches while Big Yellow was running. He hung his outer shirt on them.
Following that, he moved slightly and slid to the ground like a ghost. After he put on his cloak without a sound and moved his limbs, he slipped off a distance away.
As for Big Yellow, he continued to run swiftly as though it did not notice that the person on its back had been replaced with a fake one.
After a few breaths, the 6 high-rank lizards sped past. They locked on Big Yellow, which was ahead of them, and they simply ignored Ou Yangming, who was simply within their reach.
Ou Yangming grinned. Sure enough, Fat Antelopeʼs fur had a magical effect. After putting on a cloak that was made of its fur, his aura was fully hidden. Not to mention the lizards ran past him in a rush, even if they searched the area carefully with their mental conceptions, they could not have found anything.
Anything was possible in the world; mysterious things were everywhere.
As Big Yellow led the 6 high-rank lizards away, Ou Yangming grunted. Instead of idling by, he got up and went back where he came from.
After an hour, Ou Yangming finally stopped.
He looked in front and saw a lizardʼs nest. With middle-rank spirit lizards as the majority, there were over 100 of them including low-rank spirit beasts and half-spirit beasts.
These lizards were the followers of the 6 high-rank lizards, and they were the ones that did the odds and ends along the way.
When the 6 high-rank lizards spotted Ou Yangming—the human from the lower realm—they gave up everything and went all-out to pursue him. The other lizards dared not disperse, but they realized after running for some time that they became further from the high-rank lizards, hence the middle-rank lizards stopped and gathered the troop here to wait for the high-rank lizardsʼ return.
Nevertheless, they did not know that a fellow that was regarded as a devil to the Insects was already eyeing them.
Ou Yangming went around the nest somewhat intentionally to scan the lizards.
Lizards were not humans, after all. They practiced a hierarchy system, but they were not as strict as humans in terms of carrying out rules. In particular, without the high-rank lizards around, the other lizards became rather lazy. In fact, even the half-spirit beasts that were sent to patrol the area were dispirited and half-hearted.
Needless to say, even if they were fully focused, it would be wishful thinking for them to notice Ou Yangming.
When Ou Yangming released his spiritual world to explore the area, even the slightest change in the outside world was fed back to him.
Not to mention half-spirit beasts, even high-rank spirit beasts would not be able to find Ou Yangming.
Afterward, Ou Yangming went around the lizardʼs nest again but instead of spying on his enemies, he set up 6 formation boards in the area.
He was using everything he had, where he laid out all of his refinement outcomes during this period.
The high-rank lizards were the culprits that slaughtered the people from the towns, but this bunch of lizards was the one that executed everything. Ou Yangming would not let those high-rank lizards be, but he would also punish these accomplices heavily.
Taking lives for lives—this was the right thing to do.
Once the formation boards were in place, Ou Yangming activated his mental power without any hesitation.
He initiated 4 formation boards at the same time, where 3 of them were Illusion Formations, and one of them was a Poison Formation. The Illusion Formations’ main function was to lower the lizardsʼ awareness so that they would not realize right away if they were poisoned.
As for the formation board that the poisonous pillʼs spirit was attached to, it was the real killer. The spirit could poison and kill even high-rank spirit beasts, so when its poison spread, the lizards inside the formation had unknowingly been poisoned without being able to resist at all.
Ou Yangming sneered. He later retrieved his long Feather band and released the big lazy turtle.
Without the Illusion Formations, the big lazy turtleʼs appearance would not be a secret to the nest of lizards. When every lizard in the nest was in the Illusion Formations, their surroundings seemed peaceful to them, making them think that they were not in danger at all. Furthermore, they somehow felt lazy as if they had overworked themselves before this, to the extent that they might crumble if they relaxed.
Due to the Illusion Formations, they did not spot anything unusual at all.
Nearby, the lazy turtle opened its eyes. It was shocked after it scanned its surroundings, and it questioned the young fellow, “What’s going on? You found the lizardsʼ nest?”
Most insects lived in groups but when they became half-spirit beasts, they would start to live on their own. This was because there were always limited resources in an area. If a group of half-spirit beasts or even spirit beasts lived together, they would end up restricting each other.
Therefore, when the big lazy turtle saw so many spirit beasts and half-spirit beasts gathered, its first thought was that this was a big insect nest. ‘But where are their pillars? Why are the middle-rank spirit beasts the most powerful ones here?’
Ou Yangming grinned. “Lazy turtle, these lizards deserve to die, so I summoned you to catch them all in one go.”
The lazy turtle was dumbfounded. It responded after a moment of hesitation, “There are at least 100 lizards here, and most of them are spirit beasts, so how can we kill… Oh, you set up the Illusion Formations.” It pondered seriously then continued, “Master Ou, even with the Illusion Formations, we canʼt defeat them.”
After all, an army of 100 over half-spirit beasts led by more than 10 middle-rank lizards was a mighty force.
Putting aside the high-rank lazy turtle, even if Multi-armed King Kong was present, both parties would end up being injured.
Ou Yangming scoffed and asked, “The Illusion Formations alone wonʼt do the job, of course, but what if theyʼre all poisoned?”
The big lazy turtle fell silent for a while. When he recalled the queer poisonous pillʼs spirit, it finally sighed and commented, “Master Ou, if you kill all of them, youʼll become sworn enemies with Ghost-clawed Venerable One!”
Ou Yangming chuckled. “Sworn enemies? I’m not the one that wants to become sworn enemies with Ghost-clawed Venerable One; it’s the one thatʼs making things difficult for me!”
When the big lazy turtle sensed how determined Ou Yangming was, it knew he had made up his mind and would not change his decision.
It shook its head and replied to him, “Okay, since we’re going to attack them, we’ll wipe out all of them. Once we’re done, leave it to me to get rid of any traces.”
Ou Yangming turned to look at it in shock. He did not expect it to have such a trick up its sleeves.
He shook his wrist and attached a Concentric Knot on the lazy turtle, then he flashed and entered the Illusion Formations.
The big lazy turtle swayed its humongous body. Since it decided to make a move, it would not be merciful at all. Given that it was a high-rank spirit beast, it would be easy for it to go against the lizards here.
Ou Yangming and the big lazy turtle did not start a killing spree as soon as they entered the lizardʼs nest. Instead, they started from the periphery and took down the ones that were openly and covertly guarding the area. Their target was to get rid of all of them instead of alerting the others.
The young fellow prodded his spear quickly and pinned a half-spirit lizard to the ground. Following that, a saber-light flashed, and the lizard was slashed into pieces.
He was incredibly fast when he sneakily attacked and killed the half-spirit beasts. Those lizards, which were similar to gods of death to ordinary people, could not resist him at all.
However, Ou Yangming was not worth mentioning as compared to the overbearing turtle.
When the big fellow entered the Illusion Formations, it extended its long neck and widened its mouth to bite one of the half-spirit lizards. All of its sharp teeth pierced the lizardʼs body deeply, causing blood to cover the ground.
Lizard insects had remarkable life forces, but they could not withstand being destroyed like that. Without being able to make a sound at all, the half-spirit lizard became utterly dead.
The big lazy turtle seemed to be obsessed. Instead of shrinking its neck, it moved its head up and down like a nodding machine, by which it killed a lizard every time it moved.
This area was enveloped by the Illusion Formations, but the lazy turtleʼs overpowering act naturally alarmed the other lizards.
All at once, the lizards shrieked and attacked the big lazy turtle. Having said that, the turtleʼs defense was so formidable that it would be difficult for even high-rank lizards to harm it, let alone these useless lizards.
One after another, the lizards opened their mouths to bite and wielded their sharp claws, but they all failed to cause substantial harm to the turtle.
On the contrary, none of the lizards could evade the turtleʼs attacks.
Additionally, since Ou Yangming hid beside the lazy turtle and sneaked attacks from time to time, he also caused the lizards immense harm.
Despite that, when 100 over lizards joined hands, they were unusually potent too. Especially since about 10 of them were middle-rank lizards, when they calmed down and got into an orderly formation, they did not give the big lazy turtle and Ou Yangming chances anymore.
On top of that, the lizards started to spread the area and were vaguely surrounding them.
Who knew, it was then when Ou Yangming smirked and shouted, “Burst!”
