# Chapter 753: Artificial Rain Cloud
Ye Zi's heart trembled violently, the nerves that had been taut for an entire month finally relaxing.
Her emotions completely collapsed, tears streaming uncontrollably!
How could she not recognize Jiangnan?
"Nan Shen? Heh heh~"
But as soon as she spoke a single word, she was choked by the blood rushing up her throat!
Jiangnan quickly stuffed a Vitality Ginseng into her mouth: "Don't talk, just focus on healing!"
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers repeatedly, and Void Black Holes erupted within the formation!
Terrifying suction force burst forth, and under Jiangnan's micro-control, all the Flying Silver Locusts that had charged into the formation were compressed into black pearls, without affecting the Explorers!
"Everyone, stand within 30 meters of me!"
At this moment, the emaciated, disheveled Explorers heard Jiangnan's roar, their eyes filled with excitement!
"Nan Shen! It's Nan Shen! Finally, he's here!"
"Traveling thousands of miles all the way from Huaxia to the Abyss, crossing six layers of Ling Xu to come rescue us?"
"We have a powerful motherland, the family hasn't abandoned us. They really came!"
All the Explorers were sobbing uncontrollably!
Nothing was more uplifting than seeing a fellow countryman while in a foreign land, at the moment of utter despair!
Everyone quickly gathered around. Jiangnan raised his hand and released a Spatial Barrier, forming a cage that enveloped everyone!
"Clang clang clang!"
Hundreds of Flying Silver Locusts crashed violently against the barrier, their powerful impact cracking the Spatial Barrier with countless fissures!
Facing such a beast tide, even Jiangnan couldn't hold out for long!
Just then, the ground suddenly collapsed, splitting open into a huge hole!
Ling Feng and several Diamonds rushed out, helping Jiangnan maintain the defensive perimeter!
Jiangnan's face turned pale: "Get them to retreat into the underground tunnel. I'll find a way to lure the locust tide away!"
Xiao Zhen, Wu Liang, and the others quickly helped Ye Zi and the rest descend.
But Ye Zi said anxiously, "Nan Shen, pull those locust corpses in!"
Ling Feng: "You go first. Who cares about that at a time like this?"
Ye Zi shook her head: "No! If we don't get the beast carcasses, someone will starve to death today!"
Jiangnan was stunned. What exactly was the situation in the shelter?
Starve to death?
But it was already too late. The locust corpses outside the barrier were devoured clean in seconds!
Jiangnan: "It's fine, I brought supplies! Retreat first!"
Only then did Ye Zi and the others withdraw underground. Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao's hearts trembled as they saw Ye Zi and the others' skeletal forms!
"Xiao Jiuwo!"
Xiao Jiuwo immediately leaped onto Jiangnan's shoulder!
"Brother Feng, you all retreat too!"
There were too many people in the shelter—the target was too big. If the beast tide wasn't lured away, the crisis couldn't be resolved!
Ling Feng said urgently, "Can you handle this alone? Take—"
But before Ling Feng could finish, Jiangnan teleported twice, directly reaching an altitude of six thousand meters!
Xiao Jiuwo grew larger and carried Jiangnan on its back!
Jiangnan pulled out two hundred jin of Detoxifying Small Soybeans from his Alternate Dimension!
Hoisting a large sack over each shoulder!
୧ᯅ(๐‾᷄ٹ‾᷅๐)ᯅ୨
"Want to eat? Then eat all you want!"
With that, he opened the mouth of the sack!
Countless soybeans poured down from the high altitude, raining down from the sky like soybean rain!
Countless Silver Locusts saw the food, their eyes gleaming brightly!
Even a small soybean was still a bean!
Instantly, countless Silver Locusts shot up into the sky like arrows, devouring every single soybean before they could even hit the ground!
Ling Feng, Wang Ba, and the others' faces turned white. Can you get any more ruthless?
What kind of scene is this going to be?
Self... free-flying?
Sss~
They quickly retreated underground, sealing the entrance!
Jiangnan finished emptying two sacks and pulled out two more: "Don't say a word, just follow me. If you want soybeans, we've got plenty!"
Xiao Jiuwo activated Celestial Walk, carrying Jiangnan at twice the speed of sound!
Meanwhile, Jiangnan frantically scattered soybeans!
·.`.`.`.ጿଘ(◍˃᷄～˂᷅)
·.`.`.
Behind them, countless Flying Silver Locusts狂追 the beans, successfully luring the locust swarm away!
Jiangnan looked helpless. He hadn't originally wanted to feed them beans, but without using food, there was no way to pull the swarm away!
Having eaten the Detoxifying Small Soybeans, these locusts should calm down a bit, right?
In a flash, he had fed them a thousand jin!
Yet the locust swarm kept chasing Xiao Jiuwo, flying endlessly. Jiangnan was utterly confused!
Why are they still chasing? Didn't the Small Soybeans cure their gluttony poison?
Wait...
The seventh layer had already been gnawed bare—there was nothing left to eat. Even if he fed the Small Soybeans to the starving beasts and detoxified them, it was useless!
With no food to eat, they would still have to eat people or each other!
Jiangnan covered his face. Is it really this hopeless?
Even Small Soybeans couldn't save the seventh layer?
Just then, the effect of the Small Soybeans kicked in. Tens of thousands of Flying Silver Locusts' stomachs began rumbling like thunder!
The combined sound was truly like thunderclaps!
"Rumble!"
The next moment, the entire swarm activated "eating frenzy" acceleration, emitting streams of white smoke from behind, forming a massive white cloud in the sky!
The locusts' speed suddenly surged, about to catch up with Xiao Jiuwo!
Jiangnan: !!!
"Xiao Jiuwo, fly faster! Otherwise, we'll be eaten down to the bone!"
ଘ(☍﹏⁰): "Master～ I'm already flying as hard as I can!"
Jiangnan had to use Teleportation in conjunction with Xiao Jiuwo's mad dash!
But even then, they couldn't outrun the locust swarm. They were going absolutely crazy!
Most could still control their direction, but those that couldn't shot around the sky like bottle rockets.
Not a few crashed into mountains or fell out of the sky!
Jiangnan said urgently, "They're faster than us because they're using eating frenzy acceleration. Maybe we should activate it too!"
Xiao Jiuwo shook its head wildly!
ଘ(◍°˃᷄﹏˂᷅): "No no no! Master, don't you love Xiao Jiuwo anymore?"
"I'll try harder, so please don't feed me Small Soybeans, okay?"
I'm having such a hard time!
But just then, the swarm's acceleration began to falter, and their speed slowed down!
Because that cloud... it started raining!
Jiangnan swallowed hard, then covered his face!
I knew this would happen! Can this seventh layer even be salvaged anymore?
But after this rain cloud fertilizes the land, new life should soon sprout, right?
In that case, I've actually done a good deed!
Comforting himself, Jiangnan immediately felt much better!
Now that the locust swarm was far enough away, Jiangnan quickly had Xiao Jiuwo shrink, then teleported away with her.
Without the supply of Small Soybeans, the rain cloud began aimlessly foraging, evenly spreading the rain of life to nourish the earth!
...
Meanwhile, Fito Danny and his group were also in a sorry state!
They traveled along nervously, giving a wide berth to several large beast groups they encountered!
But they still ran into a small beast group and had to expend great effort to escape!
By now, they had tracked back to the plain where Jiangnan had chatted with his family earlier!
Aivi pressed her hands to the ground, seemingly sensing something!
"Hmm～ Found it."
With a flick of her finger, a metal capsule shot up from underground!
Fito caught it in his hand, opened it to check, and a gradually vicious grin spread across his face!
"Good! Very good! Going to rescue the Huaxia exploration team? I'd love to see how many you can save!"
"Just how many deaths will it take to make your heart ache?"
Fito's mind was already forming a mature plan, and he couldn't wait to see the expression on Jiangnan's face at that moment!
It should be quite spectacular, right?
He pulled out a locator, which clearly showed the position of the underground shelter!
"Rumble!"
Danny was startled: "What's that thunder? Is it going to rain?"
Everyone looked toward the sound of thunder. In the distant sky, a huge white cloud was drifting toward them!
"Oh ho ho? Rain is good. Haven't had a shower in days. Perfect timing to wash up!"
"Yeah, right? Just fought off a beast swarm, all sweaty and smelly. What a timely rain!"
"And it's even a thunder shower! Hey, aren't rain clouds usually dark? Why is this one white?"
"This is a Ling Xu—anything can happen. Don't be so surprised. But that cloud is drifting pretty fast!"
As for Fito, he didn't bother with the so-called rain cloud. What's so interesting about rain?
He was still perfecting his plan!
Thunder rumbled, the sound of rain drew closer, and then it came pouring down!
Danny spread his arms, closed his eyes, and looked up, ready to welcome this timely rain and wash away all his fatigue!
In an instant, the rain cloud was right above them, and the rain of life poured down!
"Slap～"
A raindrop smacked right onto Danny's face!
Danny's body stiffened. This raindrop is a bit big!
The next moment, cries of alarm rose from the crowd!
"This isn't rain! Ahhh—Dodge! Get out of the way!"
"Oh my God, where did this rain cloud come from? Mom, the Ling Xu is too scary. I want to go home!"
"What rain cloud? It's a locust swarm! That's the white smoke they farted out!"
"It's Jiangnan! He definitely fed the locust swarm Small Soybeans!"
Fito was furious. I just finished my plan, haven't even implemented it yet, and you're already coming for me?
[From Fito's Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Danny's Resentment Value +1000!]
[From...]
Who would have guessed that cloud was a problem? They all thought it was rain! But who knew that rain cloud was Jiangnan's artificial creation?
At this moment, Sherry was hiding in a makeshift shelter built from dirt clods, hugging her head with empty eyes and a blank expression!
୧(๐≖_≖๐)୨...
I can't take it anymore. This team is cursed!
This world is just too terrifying!
[From Sherry's Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Sherry...]
...
Jiangnan teleported back to Baldy Mountain, looking puzzled!
Why are they frantically refreshing their Resentment Values again?
I haven't done anything bad, have I?
Fito and his group are so diligent now?
How strange!
