However, when biting didn't work, they switched tactics and used their tails to sweep across.
Chen Fan remained indifferent.
If he were continuously attacked by the fifteen-meter-long Flying Centipede, his Undying Golden Body might truly have been unsustainable.
But these few creatures were far from being a threat.
Not far away, the three-headed Flying Centipede was slammed into the mud, its appearance extremely disheveled. Despite that, whether it was the fifteen meters long one or the two twelve-meter ones, none of them were significantly injured. Just as they were about to rise, a blood-red giant hand slammed down again.
"Boom!"
With this strike, the rear two Flying Centipedes spat out a mouthful of green blood, seemingly having sustained Internal Injury.
"Roar!"
The front Flying Centipede roared again.
Immediately, the three-headed Flying Centipede surrounding Chen Fan increased their attack frequency, clawing and biting at the golden Protective Shield.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, the golden Protective Shield showed no signs of damage.
At that moment, the third giant hand slammed down!
The rear two smaller Flying Centipedes' carapaces immediately cracked, their auras diminished significantly compared to before.
The front Flying Centipede, however, became even angrier, continuously roaring, as if saying: If you have the guts, let me get up, and see what happens!
At that moment, Chen Fan felt a wave of fear in his mind.
It was transmitted by the Flying Centipede he had controlled.
Seeing its companions' current state, it recalled its own previous ordeals.
Along with a plea.
It hoped Chen Fan would show mercy and not kill its companions.
"Don't worry."
Chen Fan comforted it: "I'm just teaching them a lesson, I won't kill them."
After speaking, he formed seals with his hands and his gaze fell on the two smaller Flying Centipedes in the rear.
Fortunately, he managed to control one outright.
The other responded more violently.
Chen Fan wasn't worried. Adjusting his angle, he struck the other two Flying Centipedes with another Giant Spirit Hand.
The rear one had its carapace broken, green blood seeping from various parts of its body, and was already severely injured. Another strike would surely kill it.
The front Flying Centipede was lightly injured but still roared at Chen Fan.
It was defiant.
Very defiant!
After another two strikes, it looked at Chen Fan with a hint of fear.
Compared to before, its carapace was already damaged, though not severely.
But it remembered how its companion was beaten into severe injuries bit by bit, just like it was now...
Its subordinates seemed to be making futile efforts from the beginning, unable to harm the opponent at all.
"Huh?"
Chen Fan keenly detected the fear in its eyes.
With a mindset of giving it a try, he used the Beast Taming Technique.
After all, if the opponent was beaten into severe injuries, recovery would take quite some time, and he urgently needed help. Minimizing injuries as much as possible was better.
Soon, he felt an additional presence in his mind, clearly the Flying Centipede before him.
It lay obediently on the ground, motionless.
The emotions transmitted were submission and fear.
Obviously, it was completely subdued.
"Good."
Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the three Flying Centipedes around him, still attacking him. He sent a thought over.
Within less than two seconds, the three Flying Centipedes stopped their movements, looking at the nearby Flying Centipede in shock and confusion.
They seemed to not understand. Wasn't this person their enemy? He had beaten their companion so badly, so why did they have to stop the attack now?
The nearby Flying Centipede roared, as if saying: If he orders you to stop, then stop. Why are you questioning it so much?
Chen Fan once again sent a thought over.
The larger Flying Centipede roared several times.
The three smaller ones became visibly agitated.
"Seems I'll have to resort to force."
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.
Just now, he had tried to have the larger Flying Centipede convince the three smaller ones to obediently let him control them.
But it looked like the three were unwilling.
There was no point in talking then.
After spending a bit more effort, the other three Flying Centipedes were also controlled.
In this way, only one remained.
Chen Fan wanted to go over since Elder Wang was being pursued and probably wouldn't hold out much longer, but the problem was, he had little True Essence left in his body.
Could he have to restore himself by meditating for one or two hours outside before coming back in?
He frowned, reminded of the saying that delays could lead to unforeseen changes.
Moreover, it was already very close to dawn.
Suddenly, a flash of insight came, and he looked at the few Flying Centipedes beside him.
After knowing Chen Fan's order, the Flying Centipedes showed reluctance.
What a joke, he wanted them to attack their long-time companion together; how could they do this? They just couldn't.
"Hmm?"
Chen Fan's expression turned cold.
The Beast Taming Technique was extremely overbearing.
If a demon beast was to be controlled, its life and death would be at the controller's whim.
Even if there was a significant power difference between the two, it didn't matter.
Of course, the controlled demon beast could still fight back desperately and perish together with the controller.
Chen Fan felt he was quite reasonable, but sometimes he had to show some resolve.
Like these Flying Centipedes, they needed to understand who their master was; otherwise, if they failed to obey, it was better to kill them for Experience Points.
Sure enough, after Chen Fan threatened them with death, the Flying Centipedes submitted.
After all, whether human or demon beast, given the chance to live, who would choose death?
They just harbored more dissatisfaction towards Chen Fan as their master.
"Relax."
Chen Fan felt their emotions and comforted them: "I'm not a bad person. Making you do this is just to stall that creature, not to kill it. If I don't do this, my elder will die. You're actually just the same; I don't want to hurt you. You attacked first, so I've reluctantly done this."
The Flying Centipedes' emotions indeed changed.
Dissatisfaction reduced significantly; guilt increased.
After thinking about it, they realized he was right.
They were lurking here specifically to attack these two people.
If they were attacked instead, they certainly wouldn't just sit still either.
Counter-attacking would be completely natural.
"Right?"
Chen Fan seized the opportunity: "If you were attacked and won, wouldn't you devour your enemies out of resentment? But me? I have the power to kill you, but I didn't do it, right?"
The Flying Centipedes immediately felt grateful.
Yes, if it were them, they would surely kill their enemies, just like they had torn apart and devoured those who tried to claim their territory before.
But this human in front of them didn't do so.
Moreover, he was reasoning with them.
He truly seemed like a good person.
"Okay, go ahead."
Chen Fan urged them. He feared that if he delayed further, Elder Wang might truly collapse.
The Flying Centipedes exchanged glances and flew towards the location of the other Flying Centipede.
Meanwhile, several kilometers away, Elder Wang's breathing was rapid, and his Elixir Power was being rapidly consumed.
A Flying Centipede was relentlessly chasing him, determined to kill the person ahead no matter what.
"At this rate, I might not hold out..."
Elder Wang glanced in Chen Fan's direction.
I wonder how things are going over there? Has Chen Fan successfully controlled the Flying Centipedes?
At that moment.
In the direction he was looking, several sharp whistling sounds pierced the air, and a large group of Flying Centipedes charged straight towards him.
"Damn!"
Elder Wang turned pale with shock.
