1653 The Yellow Castle in the Sky!
If only one person deleted their posts about Black, it would not attract attention.
However, too many people were deleting their Black-related posts.
Such a circumstance was noticed immediately and was instantly turned into a topic for a post that shot to the height of popularity.
More and more people sensed that something was wrong with the situation.
Lin Yuan had not expected Gao Feng to address him in such a way.
But he knew that Gao Feng had not done that intentionally, so he did not dwell on the matter. After all, he was going to remove his silver mask today.
Gao Feng looked at Lin Yuan apologetically. He knew that it would be best for him to keep silent at such a time. Anything he said now would be plucked out and overanalyzed by the audience.
Lin Yuan was about to speak when a dimensional rift suddenly opened above him and Gao Feng.
The clear sky darkened.
The dimensional rift was like a black and red scar that twisted and ripped itself apart in the sky.
Judging from the size of the dimensional rift, Lin Yuan instantly knew that it was pinnacle Class 1.
Since the hole opened in the sky and not on the ground, it meant that it was not a subterranean dimensional rift.
Given that there was no water pouring out of it, it could not be a water world dimensional rift either.
Normally, a dimensional rift had to stew for some time after its formation before it eventually spat out an insect tide.
However, this was not the case for the dimensional rift above Lin Yuan’s head.
It was as though this dimensional rift had swallowed 250 kilograms of crotons as it voraciously spewed out alien insects.
In the blink of an eye, an alien beast tide was formed.
This was not normal for an alien beast tide.
The settings of the testing ground on Star Web could be adjusted at will.
For example, the dimensional rift had opened suddenly and instantly spouted out alien beasts without giving anyone time to prepare. This made the dimensional rifts that were going to open next seem even more perilous.
As Gao Feng watched the scores of alien insects marching toward him, he did not summon any feys.
All he did was cast his gaze toward Lin Yuan.
The only fey Gao Feng had that had even the slightest of combat power was the Breeze Hibiscus.
However, the Breeze Hibiscus was a support-type fey and was useless against a sea of alien insects.
Once the alien insects locked onto a target, they would immediately turn feral and gobble up their target.
The alien insects were even known to be cannibalistic in times of extreme hunger. Thus, every lifeform that crossed their path was food that had to be consumed by hook or by crook.
Lin Yuan did not panic at all in the face of the charging alien insects.
He was like a general who was staying his ground despite thousands of troops closing in on him.
He knew that the Star Web users were curious about his feys, and he was not intentionally trying to be mysterious.
However, he had never encountered a strong enough opponent who could force him to summon his feys.
Lin Yuan had many options to take on the insect tide. For example, he could use the wings made of the Day and Night Spirit Silver and carry Gao Feng into the air.
But if he did that, he would lead the insect tide in whichever direction he flew off to.
In a way, he would be an external force that destroyed the test’s original flow.
This was extremely unfair to the other contestants. Thus, Lin Yuan decided against this course of action.
Lin Yuan also did not intend to summon Red Thorn.
Red Thorn had reached Platinum III/Fantasy V and was not a pinnacle six-winged fairy that was merely a whisper away from reaching eight wings.
Thus, it was the secret weapon Lin Yuan could not reveal under any normal circumstance.
If he summoned Red Thorn, the latter would be able to use the sea of flowers to take out the Class 5 abyss demons.
Class 5 abyss demons only appeared in Class 3 and above dimensional rifts.
If Red Thorn appeared, the testing ground with its continuously opening dimensional rifts would become a feast for it.
With this insect tide, Lin Yuan could only use one fey and one method.
This fight would not affect the insect tide’s original path.
Currently, the insect tide was less than 20 meters away from Lin Yuan and Gao Feng.
The audience on Star Web who saw this was screaming.
Only three to seven people out of 100 could be spirit qi professionals. This meant that most of the people on Star Web were regular people who were not spirit qi professionals.
These regular people had never seen an insect tide from this view.
Everyone W: The alien insects are terrifying! My husband is going to be eaten to death!
Fruit Kernel: This feeling is great! Why am I not a spirit qi professional? Why don’t I have any spirit qi professional talent?
Dawn Happiness: Black has been pissing me off for a long time. Has his brain suddenly rotted? Is he immobile or frozen with fear? Didn’t they say that Black used a sea of flowers to single-handedly take on an alien insect dimensional rift in Millstone Town? If he could do it, then why doesn’t he do the same now?
The alien insects were only getting closer to Black.
The alien insects at the front only needed to take a small leap, and they would be able to reach Black.
At that moment, the ground started to shake.
A gully made of flowing sand appeared between Black and the alien insects, drawing a clear boundary.
The alien insects at the front were all pushed back by the granules of sand.
In an instant, the ground turned into seething quicksand.
The insect tide of a pinnacle Class 1 dimensional rift was promptly halted.
This sight stunned everyone who chose Black’s perspective view.
All of them knew that Black had a sand-elemental source-type lifeform.
However, they did not expect that it could produce such an immense amount of sand.
Before the group could gasp in amazement, a castle rose out of the sand.
The granules stacked on top of each other, and the castle’s construction only became more exquisite with each passing moment.
It was as though something was building up the castle structure from the inside.
After the castle appeared, the sand stopped bubbling.
Only the quicksand beneath the castle continued to move until the castle was pushed into the sky.
If these alien insects tried to scale the castle, they would end up slipping into the quicksand beneath.
The quicksand rapidly solidified, and all lifeforms were promptly barricaded out.
A moment later, the insect tide that had failed to climb the castle of sand eventually gave up and dashed away.
The sight of the castle of sand and alien insects, or rather Lin Yuan’s method, caused the audience to lose their ability to think rationally.
