Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank

559 Spirit-Absorbing Bugs

The Crystal Canopy looked weaker than before, which meant that it was not unbreakable. However, once it was exhausted, the entire Crystal Canopy might break. At that time, the Bug race could march in and kill everyone.

The fireflies in the cloud were still attacking.

However, the foreign races realized they could not let these bugs get close. So they attacked with all their might, and the fireflies were intercepted. Their bodies exploded and turned into flames in the sky. Many other bugs also fell to the ground like raindrops.

“These bugs can’t be wasted. They are incredibly vigorous, and there are so many of them. So we should break them down and refine them to replenish the Tower of Stars!”

A thought suddenly flashed in Li Xiang’s mind. Then, the Tower of Stars turned into a faint stream of light and disappeared, drilling into the ground.

Soon, the piles of corpses on the battlefield began to disappear without a trace. And no matter how many corpses there were previously, they were now gone.

Of course, the bug corpses on the ground did not seem to have changed much, so no one paid any attention to them.

However, these bugs had already been absorbed and refined into the rawest energy to replenish the Tower of Stars.

The bug corpses were rich in energy and coupled with the vast number, the Tower of Stars was able to replenish its energy.

Although the Tower of Stars had already reached Rank 6 of the divine realm, the energy required to level up was tremendous. Only by seizing every opportunity to replenish, plunder, and devour more energy would it be able to accumulate and expand continuously.

With the replenishment of the sea of corpses, the space in the tower was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although the pace was not fast, it did not stop.

“Country Lord, new bugs have appeared!”

Alice reminded him, and Li Xiang immediately looked over.

Looking around, he could see that a type of transparent flying bug had appeared in the bug cloud in the sky.

These bugs had wings like dragonflies, but their bodies were slender and soft like blood-sucking bugs. They twisted in the air and looked highly terrifying.

The bugs were light and numerous and charged into the Crystal Canopy in the blink of an eye.

“What kind of bug is this?”

“No matter what kind of bugs they are, kill them all as long as they are close to the sky!”

“Quick, use spells to bombard them. It’s best if it’s an area-of-effect spell. These bugs are too minor, so it’s tough to attack them with arrows!”

With the appearance of a new species of bugs, the foreign races on the city wall were on high alert.

The fireflies they had never seen had caused them a lot of trouble. They had almost destroyed the entire Crystal Canopy. But, now that there were new bugs, their fear immediately peaked.

The foreign race warriors were very decisive. One after another, talismans and magic spells flew out from the sky, meeting these flying bugs.

A ball of flame enveloped a dozen of these strange flying bugs, but strangely, they were not burned to ashes but shrank at a rate visible to the naked eye. The transparent and colorless flying bug turned fiery red in the blink of an eye.

Some bugs that were hit by the frost power directly absorbed the frost power and turned into frost-colored bugs. Similarly, the ones hit by the wind blades turned into green bugs.

“Something’s not right. These bugs can absorb all kinds of energy and then use it themselves! So these bugs will use our attacks to attack the Crystal Canopy!”

“These bugs are so f*cking terrifying. Whether it’s ice or fire, it can devour everything.”

“If these bugs can absorb energy, could they also absorb the energy of the Crystal Canopy? If that’s the case, I’m afraid the canopy won’t be able to hold on for long!”

The foreign races were not stupid. They immediately realized how terrifying these bugs were. But, while they were shocked, they also revealed looks of fear.

“Shoot with arrows!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The arrows instantly shot out, and the bugs exploded when they were hit.

However, these bugs were tinier than fireflies and faster. They slithered in the air like snakes and were extremely difficult to aim at. So the arrow rain was not a significant threat.

The bugs rushed to the Crystal Canopy and pounced on it without hesitation.

The strange bugs began to absorb the energy in the sky as if they were absorbing blood. Their transparent bodies immediately began to turn jade white.

The entire Crystal Canopy immediately began to thin and weaken.

“Kill!”

Werewolves leaped into the air and slashed at the strange bugs in the sky.

With one slash, the strange bugs were cut in half.

“These bugs can devour the energy of magic techniques, but they can’t resist the direct damage of weapons. Their bodies are very fragile. So everyone, use your weapons and arrows to attack!”

Seeing this, many members of the foreign races did not hesitate and started using their weapons to deal with these bugs.

Arrows fell like rain, killing the strange bugs in the sky.

“Nothing is perfect in this world. These strange bugs are already very powerful. They can absorb energy and can’t be killed by magic. However, they are restrained by swords and weapons and can’t resist physical attacks.”

Li Xiang secretly sighed.

The bug race had an endless variety of species, and they seemed to be able to evolve an infinite number of bugs.

Information on the species of this bug was displayed under Li Xiang’s Probing skill.

[ Spirit-absorbing Bug ]

[ Race: Bug race ]

[ Quality: Excellence ]

[ Description: It can absorb and store a small amount of energy. It is immune to energy attacks. When the stored energy reaches its limit, it will explode on its own and cause energy damage to the surrounding area. Physical attacks have double the destruction level. ]

The amount of energy that the spirit-absorbing bug could absorb was not unlimited. Once it reached its limit, it would explode. Although its power was not as strong as a firefly’s, it could still cause damage to an area within a five-meter radius.

“They can absorb energy, but they’re afraid of physical attacks. However, there are too many of them. Even if the foreign races react, they won’t be able to save the Crystal Canopy,” said Alice.

There were many spirit-absorbing bugs, probably hundreds of thousands of them. Once they pounced on the sky, they began to devour and drink the energy in the atmosphere. Even if the foreign races kept killing the spirit-absorbing bugs, they would not be able to kill all of them in one go.

Therefore, the Crystal Canopy was in a precarious situation. If it could not hold on, defending Boulder City would not be easy.

The Crystal Canopy’s breach was a foregone conclusion in such a situation.

These spirit-absorbing bugs were lying on the canopy. They were not attacking it at all. Instead, they were absorbing the energy within the canopy. When the power was exhausted, the canopy’s defensive capabilities would be significantly weakened. It would not be able to defend against the bug race.
