Chapter 940 The Terrifying Insect King (Two Chapters in One)
"Why are they rushing in that direction in such a hurry?"
With the danger temporarily lifted, Xiao Pingtian's pale face regained some color, and then he looked at the brain-eating insects that were leaving quickly, full of confusion.
"Could it be that the Insect King you mentioned is about to be born there, and they are rushing to protect the Insect King?" Lin Li said.
"This... is very possible." Xiao Pingtian's slightly relaxed expression suddenly became serious again after hearing what Lin Li said.
After all, although he had never witnessed the horror of the Insect King with his own eyes, the tragedy of his hometown was still vivid in his mind after so many years.
"Let's go over and take a look?" Lin Li suggested as he looked at the brain-eating insects that were about to disappear.
"It's too dangerous." Xiao Pingtian shook his head, and then nodded again.
"What do you mean? Do you want to follow me and have a look?" Lin Li asked.
Xiao Pingtian said, "It's better to go over and take a look. The army outside the city probably doesn't know much about the situation here.
Although it is dangerous to follow him to have a look, if the insect king's situation can be known as soon as possible and then reported to the army outside, a lot of casualties can be reduced. "
Lin Li smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous."
"Your mentality is quite relaxed. Aren't you afraid of death?" Xiao Pingtian asked.
This doubt in his heart has been going on for a while. From the time he came out with Lin Li to now, he has never noticed Lin Li showing any panic.
According to common sense, panic is a normal reaction when encountering such a dangerous thing. He has been acting calm, but it seems a bit special.
Lin Li replied with a smile, "Everyone is afraid of death, but I have always cherished my life, so I am also afraid of death."
Xiao Pingtian was surprised by Lin Li's outspokenness, because it was the first time he heard someone say so frankly that he was afraid of death.
However, during this period of contact, he did not feel any fear from Lin Li.
Xiao Pingtian was extremely frightened when those brain-eating insects with second-level strength approached just now, but Lin Li acted very calmly.
Comparing the two, the different reactions can be said to be worlds apart.
"You said you were afraid of death, but I didn't feel that you had any fear at all." Xiao Pingtian is also a cheerful person, and he directly expresses his thoughts.
Lin Li was about to say something else when an explosion suddenly came from the distance.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
After the earth-shaking big explosion suddenly appeared in the distance, it quickly spread to the surroundings. Creatures within several kilometers of the surrounding area could clearly hear the bursts of explosions.
"what happened?"
Lin Li and Xiao Pingtian's attention was completely attracted by the sudden explosion in the distance. Soon, they knew why the explosion occurred.
…………
"kill……!!!"
"Don't let go of any brain-eating insects in this town!!!"
The cry of death sounded after the explosion disappeared.
The army that got off the Yunding Flying Boat began to attack this lifeless town, entering the town through the breaches in the wall.
As soon as the heavily armed soldiers entered the town, they saw hundreds of brain-eating worms swarming towards them.
The cold-faced soldier was not afraid of the brain-eating insects and pulled the trigger of the crossbow in his hand.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The arrows shot out, instantly forming a large rain of arrows.
"Puff, puff, puff..."
Hundreds of brain-eating insects were instantly covered by arrows, and then fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.
"Roar……"
The brain-eating insect whose head was shot by an arrow fell to the ground, its body twisting continuously, and a terrible roar came from its mouth.
With vital parts destroyed, the brain-eating worm is forced to leave its host.
Bugs that were all white, only half the thickness of chopsticks, and more than one meter long emerged from the dead residents' noses.
"Disgusting."
When the cold-faced soldiers saw the brain-eating worm, they immediately felt nauseous, and some began to retching.
"Sizzling, sizzling, sizzling..."
The brain-eating insects are afraid of the sun and leave the bodies of dead residents. When exposed to the strong sunlight, their bodies begin to smoke.
"Roar……"
The shadow of death shrouded the brain-eating insects, and their screams were quite miserable.
Under the gaze of all the soldiers, the brain-eating insect irradiated by the sun turned into a puddle of mud.
"Next, please be careful, don't act alone." The soldier captain reminded his subordinates.
"Yes." The soldiers responded in unison, then divided into small teams and began to search this lifeless town.
"There is another group of brain-eating worms here." A soldier passed by the alley and saw a group of brain-eating worms moving far away, and shouted quickly.
"Tap, step, step..." Rapid footsteps sounded in various places, and within half a minute, a group of brain-eating insects moving in the distance were surrounded by many soldiers.
This kind of ordinary brain-eating insect has almost no room to fight back against heavily armed and well-trained soldiers.
So the ending can be imagined. After the bursts of miserable roars, there were many more brain-eating insect corpses on the ground that turned into a puddle of mud.
"This is too easy!"
"That's right! Didn't you say that brain-eating insects are difficult to deal with?"
After killing the brain-eating insects, two new recruits felt that this mission was too easy.
On the way to this town to eliminate brain-eating bugs, their boss repeatedly warned them to be careful of brain-eating bugs because they are very scary and difficult to deal with.
But the reality is very different from what the superiors said, which makes many recruits think that the superiors are exaggerating.
Two figures stand on the roof in the distance, and they can see the battle happening around them.
"Commander, something is wrong!" said the burly man.
"Yeah." Liu Yuancheng nodded, and he also found something wrong.
It is not the first time that he has led the army to eliminate brain-eating worms.
In the past, it took a lot of energy to eliminate all the brain-eating worms, and the whole process was very difficult.
Now that they have entered the lifeless town, the soldiers killed the brain-eating worms too easily. It can be said that there is no decent resistance. This abnormality can be noticed by anyone with experience.
"You watch here, I'll go inside and take a look." Liu Yuancheng explained.
"Yes." The burly man clasped his hands together, and next, he will take over Liu Yuancheng's command of the soldiers to fight.
"Bang."
Liu Yuancheng stepped on the ground with both feet, the tiles under his feet cracked, his body rose from the ground, stopped in mid-air, and then flew towards the depths of the town.
"I wonder if I can break through to the beginning of the third stage like the commander in ten years." The burly man looked at Liu Yuancheng who was flying away, with envy in his eyes.
"Roar..."
A loud roar appeared in the left front, followed by the sound of a burst of arrows.
The burly man quickly retracted his gaze from Liu Yuancheng, then jumped up and jumped onto the roof of another house.
He stayed to command the battle, and such an important responsibility could not be neglected.
…………
"The army outside the town is coming in, let's go!" Lin Li listened to the shouting and killing from a distance, turned his head and looked at his side.
Xiao Pingtian nodded, and then he quickly followed Lin Li who had left first.
The two kept jumping on the roof, and soon they saw that there were no more houses in front.
The central location of the town is a square, with an area of about several thousand square meters.
At this time, Lin Li and Xiao Pingtian, standing on the roof, saw many brain-eating insects gathered in the center of the square.
The powerful brain-eating worms that they had seen before, which were emitting second-level spiritual energy fluctuations, were now surrounding a huge cocoon.
"There really is a worm king." Xiao Pingtian looked at the huge cocoon in the distance and suddenly lost his mind, muttering to himself involuntarily.
"Huh?" Lin Li suddenly sensed the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations behind him. He turned around and took a look, then reached out and patted Xiao Pingtian on the shoulder.
"It's too conspicuous to stay here. Let's go down and find a place to hide."
Xiao Pingtian nodded, and then he followed Lin Li and jumped off the roof and entered a house next to it.
All the residents in the town were killed, so no one could be seen in the house.
Lin Li came to the window and found that the angle was wrong, and there was no way to see the situation in the square in the distance.
"Crack."
The sound of something breaking sounded, and Lin Li looked over and saw Xiao Pingtian chiseling the wall with a dagger.
"That's a way." Lin Li saw what Xiao Pingtian was doing, and naturally understood the other party's intention at once.
When he came to Xiao Pingtian, a fist-sized hole had been chiseled in the wall.
Following the same pattern, Xiao Pingtian waved the dagger in his hand and opened another hole of the same size in the wall.
Then, the two of them used the hole in the wall to quietly observe the situation in the square in the distance.
"Huh..."
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the plants around the square shook violently. The leaves fell, and before they fell to the ground, they were blown up by the wind and floated irregularly in the air.
"The cocoon is broken, and the insect king is about to be born." Xiao Pingtian looked solemnly at the cocoon emitting spiritual energy fluctuations in the square in the distance.
"I don't know what the insect king looks like." Lin Li said curiously.
The nervous Xiao Pingtian turned his head and glanced at Lin Li, and said, "You said you were afraid of death, but you are not afraid at all."
Lin Li smiled and said, "The army has already invaded the town. For the insect king, it is not us who can pose a threat to it, so we are still relatively safe."
After hearing this, Xiao Pingtian thought about it in his heart, and it seemed to be true, and then his nervous mood was relieved.
"Roar..."
The brain-eating worms in the square saw the cocoon break and immediately roared excitedly, as if cheering for the birth of their king.
A white hand stretched out from the broken cocoon, and more than ten seconds later, another white hand stretched out from the broken cocoon.
The two hands began to exert force and tore the cocoon completely open.
A man with a height of 1.8 meters, fair skin and handsome appearance appeared in the eyes of Lin Li and Xiao Pingtian.
"Is this the insect king?!!!"
"Uh..."
Lin Li turned his head and looked at Xiao Pingtian, "Why does the insect king look like a human?"
Xiao Pingtian was silent for a few seconds when he saw this situation, and then shook his head.
"This is the first time I have seen the insect king. It looks like this, and I don't know what's going on."
"Roar..."
The insect king was born successfully, and the brain-eating worms in the square cheered.
"Quiet." The human-like insect king said, and the brain-eating worms in the square instantly shut their mouths.
"Damn, he can speak human language." Lin Li was shocked at this moment. This was the first time he had seen such a strange creature.
"Oh no, it's discovered us." Xiao Pingtian saw the human-like Zerg King looking towards the house and staring at him, which scared him so much that his face turned pale instantly.
"How did it find us so quickly?" Lin Li raised his hand and touched his chin.
"What are you thinking? Let's go." Xiao Pingtian shouted to Lin Li, and was about to drag him away from this dangerous place.
The insect king exuded a second-level peak spiritual energy fluctuation. This was a powerful beast that Xiao Pingtian had never encountered before.
Once the other party took action, Xiao Pingtian felt that with his and Lin Li's strength, they could not resist the other party's attack at all.
If they didn't run away at this time, they would have no chance to escape later.
Lin Li raised his hand to block Xiao Pingtian's hand and said calmly.
"Let's not go out now."
Xiao Pingtian said anxiously, "We have been discovered by the insect king. It will be too late if we don't leave..."
Lin Li reminded, "Didn't you notice that there was a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation not far from us at this moment?"
Xiao Pingtian was stunned for half a second after hearing this, then he calmed down a little, started to sense and explore with his mental power, and found that it was just as Lin Li said.
"So strong, this is... the spiritual energy fluctuation of the initial stage of the third stage?!!!"
Lin Li laughed, "This strong man should be the commander of the army."
Xiao Pingtian said in surprise, "That's great, with this commander taking action, the insect king is dead."
Then, the two of them gathered in front of the hole in the wall again and looked at the square in the distance.
"I didn't expect that the insect king was born here." A voice sounded in the air.
Faced with a strong enemy, the insect king in the square retracted his gaze from the house in the distance, raised his head and looked at the human strong man standing in the air, and spoke slowly.
"You reacted really fast."
Liu Yuancheng looked at the insect king who had just been born not long ago with cold eyes. Without saying much, he raised his hand and clenched his fingers into a fist, and suddenly punched through the air.
Seeing this, the insect king showed a sneer on his face, and also raised his hand and clenched his fingers into a fist.
"Boom."
The two sides bombarded each other in the air, and the terrible air waves collided and exploded immediately, and the brain-eating insects gathered in the square were affected.
"Roar..."
The brain-eating worms that awakened into strange beasts were not seriously affected, but the ordinary brain-eating worms were in a terrible state, and they screamed in pain.
"You don't have to stay here to guard me, go and kill those invaders." The worm king gave an order.
The brain-eating worms gathered in the square immediately scattered around and rushed to the location of the soldiers entering the town.
Liu Yuancheng did not make a move to stop the brain-eating worms that left quickly, because his first priority now was to get rid of the most difficult worm king.
Drawing out the sword hanging on his waist, mobilizing the spiritual energy in his dantian to inject it, the sharp spiritual weapon long sword instantly emerged with a light golden spiritual light.
The powerful auras emanating from Liu Yuancheng and the worm king collided with each other, and the atmosphere on the scene became extremely solemn, and the battle was about to break out.
