Chapter 377: Alternative Wall-Walking

Due to the weak attacks of the Tsundere Turtle and Meila outside, the Insect King's injuries were not that serious. As a result, the frequency of its absorption of energy in the insect nest began to decrease.

This situation made Duan Ming feel that it was unreliable to passively rely on the energy circuit on the inner wall of the insect nest to find the energy source of the insect nest.

"Since these energy circuits can allow energy to flow, what if I input energy into them? Can it be easier to follow the clues?"

Thinking so, while the blocking insects were temporarily caught in a gap.

Duan Ming opened the inner wall of the insect nest with a sword, and then pressed it with one hand.

"I hope it works~"

In order to prevent his fire attribute energy from being incompatible with the energy circuit of the insect race, Duan Ming input pure energy into the circuit.

Although doing so consumes more energy, in order to find the energy source of the insect nest as soon as possible, Duan Ming could not care so much for a while.

Facts have proved that Duan Ming was right to do so. Duan Ming's energy entered the circuit smoothly and flowed in the opposite direction to the energy source of the insect nest.

Because the energy transmitted by each circuit is very small, Duan Ming did not consume too much energy by tracking the energy through reverse input.

After discovering this, Duan Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, there are still many bugs to be cleaned up next, and there may be strong Zerg guarding near the energy source.

If Duan Ming consumes too much energy because of looking for the energy source, it will be difficult to deal with the enemy at that time.

Just as Duan Ming was looking for the energy source, the bugs that came to stop Duan Ming also surged again.

Duan Ming saw this, just holding the sword in one hand, casually slashed a few flames, and then ignited and burned the bugs that came up.

Because of the distraction, Duan Ming's flames were not condensed as before to burn the bugs directly into ashes.

Most of the bugs died after being burned to death by the flames, leaving only charred corpses in place.

A large number of insect corpses were piled up within a radius of 5 meters from Duan Ming, forming a semicircular corpse wall composed of insect corpses.

Some insects wanted to retrieve the insect masters on the corpse wall, but they were burned to death by Duan Ming's flames as soon as they approached, and they added bricks and tiles to the corpse wall.

When the corpse wall was about to cover Duan Ming's head and bury Duan Ming alive, Duan Ming groaned and loosened his hand on the inner wall of the insect nest.

Recalling the situation he had just sensed, Duan Ming couldn't help but mutter: "There is indeed a strong man sitting there on the other side. I am afraid that my exploration just now has been discovered by the other party."

"It seems that I have to rush over as soon as possible."

Looking at the pile of insect corpses in front of him, Duan Ming held the sword with both hands and slashed with a more blazing flame than the previous analysis. Turn the insect corpses that made up the corpse wall into ashes.

Although this action seems to be unnecessary, Duan Ming, who has seen the role of the hatching blanket in the insect nest, knows that if these corpses are left alone, they will be recycled by the insects and become nutrients for the insect king.

After cleaning up the insect corpses, Duan Ming quickly rushed to the place where the energy source was.

The insects guarding the energy source of the insect nest seemed to have discovered this and immediately sent out a large number of insects to block them.

Facing these surging insects, Duan Ming resisted while recalling the topographic map of the insect nest explored through the energy circuit in his mind.

Soon, Duan Ming found a shortcut that could bypass the insect blockade and quickly reach the energy source of the insect nest.

Burning the insects on the ground into ashes with one sword, Duan Ming slashed at the corridor next to him.

The corridor was burned through by Duan Ming's high-temperature slash. Duan Ming kicked it up and kicked it through directly, thus entering another corridor.

Because Duan Ming suddenly changed the corridor, the insects that originally surrounded Duan Ming directly lost their function.

After a commotion, the insects began to gather in the corridor where Duan Ming's box was.

But who knew that they had not yet formed a scale that was enough to stop Duan Ming. Duan Ming, who was halfway there, slashed at his feet again. Breaking the ground, he directly entered the corridor below.

Seeing this, the insects rushed to the tunnel below.

Under Duan Ming's operation, the insects that were supposed to intercept Duan Ming in front had no choice but to chase Duan Ming from behind.

After mastering the general structure of the insect nest, he used the almost rogue "wall-penetrating technique". Duan Ming played the insects around while quickly approaching the energy source of the insect nest.

After a period of rampage through the wall, Duan Ming finally arrived at the place where the energy source of the insect nest was located.

After forcibly breaking through the last wall, Duan Ming came to a vast space.

Unlike Duan Ming's imagination of full of energy crystals, this huge hole was full of pools of green liquid.

Because Duan Ming came too suddenly, the insects here were obviously not ready to deal with Duan Ming.

I saw a few purple tool insects, carrying a few ordinary insects that looked very old into the energy pool.

Those old ordinary insects subconsciously wanted to resist, but were electrocuted by the purple tool insects with electric current.

With a splash, the old bugs fell into the energy pool and never came up again.

After seeing this, Duan Ming finally understood why the sea urchin worms cared so much about the S-level. And among the bugs that blocked him, why was there only one S-level one, the sea urchin worm?

If Duan Ming's perception was correct, the two bugs that were dragged into the energy pool should be S-level.

However, it seems that because they have lived for too long, they have declined to the level of quasi-S-level.

Looking at the color of the energy pool again, there is not a trace of purple in the emerald green.

Duan Ming suddenly had a guess: "Could it be that for so many years, the real support for the insect nest is the insects that survived the war."

"The energy source of the insect king is also the energy liquid transformed from the corpses of those insects."

"And those insects that can control lightning and thunder hatched in the secret realm cannot be absorbed by the insect king and the insect nest."

"This is also the reason why these energy pools are emerald green and do not contain a trace of thunder element energy."

"In order to recover from his injuries, the insect king probably threw a lot of protozoa into the energy pool. Even the mainstream thrown into the energy pool are those S-level or above insects."

"And this is the reason why there are not many S- and SS-level insects except the insect king coming out of the insect nest."

"The reason why the sea urchin worm cares so much about the S-level is probably because it is afraid of being thrown into the energy pool when it reaches the decline period."

After figuring everything out, Duan Ming turned his attention back to the energy pools in front of him.

Just when Duan Ming was about to try whether his flame could ignite it, a green energy beam stopped Duan Ming's action.

After narrowly avoiding the attack of the beam, Duan Ming turned his head to look in the direction of the attack. With just one glance, Duan Ming's face became extremely solemn.
