"Eaten!! In my prophecy, Shi Ying's Ginseng Baby will likely be eaten by a totem—it's in danger!! It's going to die!!" the Prophetic Owl shrieked in alarm.
This drew the surrounding Donghuang beastmasters, who all turned to look at it, and then their expressions turned grave in unison, their faces shifting.
Everyone knew the Prophetic Owl's prophecies were unreliable, but at this moment, judging by the present situation, the prophecy it had just spoken would very likely come true!
"It can't be," said Gao Xuan, Yin Huan, and the others, their expressions changing.
"Meow meow meow?" Teacher Ying, meanwhile, stared at the owl in astonishment. Wait—what was this old witch saying?
It had foreseen that Shi Ying's Ginseng Baby… would be eaten?
Hold on—didn't every successful prophecy of the future by the Prophetic Owl feed power back into itself??
Suddenly, the Gem Cat looked at the Prophetic Owl with a strange expression.
Just then.
Very quickly, the massive Starry Void Insect swarm gathered.
And faced with such a vast swarm of Starry Void Insects, Ryan and the other totem-nation challengers did not dare approach too closely.
After all, if the swarm took them for targets, that would be disastrous.
"Could that bastard be borrowing a knife to kill—using the Starry Void Insects against us?" At this, Ryan, the Rubber Divine Tree, thought of the possibility and felt both shock and fury.
This ought to have been their own stratagem.
Yet Shi Jin had seized the initiative first.
Still, using the Ginseng Baby itself to lure these Starry Void Insects—weren't Shi Jin and the others afraid of getting burned by the fire they had lit?
At once, led by five totem-rank Starry Void Insects, a vast multitude of the swarm had already gathered here.
But gazing at the source of the fragrance that had abruptly vanished, they grew violently agitated.
To the Starry Void Insects of this moment—bereft of reason, bereft of transcendent power—though they brimmed with raw strength, finding the Ginseng Baby, which had used the power of time and Earth Escape to conceal its aura, was still far too difficult.
So if used properly, this swarm of Starry Void Insects could indeed serve as a blade, clearing many difficulties for the Ginseng Baby.
But then again.
When one possessed the strength to annihilate everything oneself, borrowing a knife to kill seemed altogether unnecessary.
Just as all the Starry Void Insects were searching for the Ginseng Baby, it suddenly emerged from the earth once more.
On the ground, the Ginseng Baby condensed wings of light, slowly rose, and looked around.
And once again, it gave off a startling fragrance.
In an instant, the Starry Void Insects erupted into frenzy.
A Starry Void Insect a hundred meters tall, like a spider of catastrophe with dozens of dragon limbs, stamped the ground in frantic haste and moved toward the direction where the fragrance had appeared.
Behind it, a vast swarm of Starry Void Insects came pouring in pursuit.
"Eek!!" The Ginseng Baby transformed into wings of light and bolted, taking to the sky and exposing itself directly to the Starry Void Insects.
At the same time, it exposed itself to the Thunder Crown Rubber Divine Tree and the others as well.
"Don't fall for it!!!" Seeing this, the Origin Divine Tree and the rest all changed expressions.
"That Ginseng Baby is trying to use itself to make you tear each other apart—don't take the bait."
At this point, anyone with eyes could see that the Ginseng Baby was using itself as bait, luring the totem-rank Starry Void Insects toward the Rubber Divine Tree.
That Shi Jin, who had previously displayed invincible strength, would actually resort to such tactics left every faction astonished.
And yet, there was nothing they could do about it.
Without the power to crush everything in sight, this seemed to be the optimal strategy.
