Sersheen volunteered. Though she too was a little tired, she had little experience in battle and was much more relaxed than the others, so she offered to be first on watch, and no one objected. Everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Guo Shi 'er went upstairs and fell asleep immediately. With their physiques, it wouldn't be a problem for them not to sleep for a few months. However, their souls would be very tired. Being able to sleep was the best supplement, allowing their souls to get sufficient rest.
When Guo Shier woke up, it was already three days later. He felt refreshed and full of energy. All of his previous exhaustion had been swept away. He stretched, then got up and went downstairs, only to find that everyone was already sitting in the living room.
Li Ran smiled, "Shier, you really can sleep. Three days … Haha."
Guo Shier laughed, "I'm young, so I need sleep."
Mo Nier smiled faintly. Ku Mu twitched the corner of his mouth to show that he was smiling, but it was a little ugly. Qi Wuzhen curled his lips. Although Guo Shi 'er was not the oldest among them, he was still over a hundred years old. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was young.
"It's good that I can sleep. I only slept for half a day and I can't sleep anymore."
"I can't sleep either," Sershilin said. She moved to sit next to Guo Shier, "Let's eat something. We should be hungry."
Guo Shier nodded and took out the food. It was all cooked food that had been prepared in advance. He invited everyone to eat together. In this place, Guo Shier wasn't in the mood to cook rune food. He just ate some dry rations to fill his stomach.
…
What Li Ran and the others didn't know was that this insect-catching battle had been witnessed by some of the surviving experts of the various races. They were immediately shocked and knew that they were professionals from the Talisman Race. The news spread quickly. The Rune Race's status in the Sacrificial Star rose like crazy. They were already mysterious, but now they were viewed as people who couldn't be offended by the other races.
But this had nothing to do with Li Ran and the others. They went deeper into the Allheaven Ruins. Along the way, they saw flying cars and spaceships fleeing in panic. They were all people retreating from the ruins. The experts of the various races all received a warning. They knew that there was a strange insect that appeared in large groups. If they encountered it, they would definitely die. So everyone was fleeing.
Only Li Ran's team flew in the opposite direction. They couldn't wait to encounter another insect wave. Although each of them had caught a lot of insects, they needed more to use them as weapons. They flew quickly into the ruins. The insect swarm they were chasing was the insect swarm that had chased them at the beginning and then left halfway. Those insects were relatively weaker and could not adapt to a stable space.
Soon, they saw the marks left behind by the void worms on the ground. They were very obvious. The Void Worms were indeed monstrous. Wherever they passed, the ground would sink by a few meters, crisscrossing with tiny ravines. As for the plants and buildings on the ground, they would be swept clean, leaving nothing behind.
The void insects were really abnormal. Wherever they went, the ground would sink a few meters. There were small ravines everywhere. As for the plants and buildings on the ground, they were swept away. They didn't need to look for such obvious traces. They just followed the traces left on the ground. Cirlyn was very excited. She whispered something to Guo Shier. Monique was watching from the side with a smile. She had long known that Cirlyn was interested in her baby.
Guo Shier answered Sershilin's question indifferently. His attention was focused on the front. The insect tide could appear at any time, and he hoped that he could catch more void worms. He was different from others. He liked to collect. How could he let go of such a good thing? If he met a powerful opponent in the future, this would be a super weapon. If he released a group of void insects, no matter how powerful the opponent was, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Li Ran said, "More spaceships are coming …" Before he finished speaking, there was a faint explosion.
In the blink of an eye, the explosion became much louder. Then, dozens of spaceships rushed toward Li Ran and the others. In the distance, a group of void insects quickly chased after them. Those spaceships launched wave after wave of attacks. As they escaped, they attacked backward. But they didn't know that these attacks were useless against the void insects. Any attack that got close was instantly annihilated by the spatial cracks.
The only use of this kind of attack was to slightly slow down the void worm's flying speed. With this slight delay, their spaceship was able to escape to this place. However, the void insects behind them were very close. If they were delayed for a few seconds, they would be drowned by the insect wave. Li Ran said, "There aren't many of them. There are about 20,000 of them. Hehe, let's gather together and not split up. As for catching the insects, let's rely on our own abilities!"
With a long roar, Guo Shier and Sershilin were in the middle. Qi Wuzhen, Li Ran, Deadwood, Mo Nier, and Wang Dayang were outside. They formed a pentagram formation connected by purple chains. With Guo Shier's long roar, the whole team crashed head-on. The Soul Suppressing Cauldron released shockwaves that shook the surrounding void insects. This time, Guo Shier couldn't bear to use his soul to kill. He didn't want to kill the insects, but to catch them.
The mouth of the Soul Suppressing Cauldron rolled up a large white light and instantly dragged hundreds of void insects to the mouth. This time, no one rushed to seal the insects at the mouth of the cauldron. Instead, they were busy sealing the insects that flew over. Guo Shier continued to cast spells, and the void insects fell like raindrops into the Soul Suppressing Cauldron. After A Handsome Old Man's design, Guo Shier had a set of methods to catch insects.
The people on the dozens of spaceships suddenly found that the insect tide was in chaos. Some of them saw Li Ran and the others charging straight into the insect tide. They couldn't help but be shocked. There was such a way to court death? Then they found that there were no more insects chasing them. Out of curiosity, more than a dozen spaceships slowed down and activated their detection devices to scan the insect tide behind them. They couldn't believe that there were people in this world who could deal with these abnormal insects.
Suddenly, the insect tide scattered. The people on the spaceships could clearly see a group of rune light moving in the insect tide. Wherever the rune light passed, the void insects would be swept away. They didn't know what method those people used to be able to clean up the void insects. The spaceships immediately cheered, but they didn't dare to stay for long. They immediately left. They all knew that even if there were a few void insects left, they wouldn't be able to resist them. This was a troublesome place, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.
However, the news that a few experts of the Rune Race could deal with a group of insects spread as the spaceships left. The insects that terrified the experts of all races were actually restrained by the professionals of the Rune Race. This news, together with the news that Li Ran and the others had killed the insects, caused a huge sensation once again.
In less than ten minutes, except for a few void worms that escaped, the rest had been captured by everyone. With the help of the Soul Suppressing Cauldron, Guo Shier's harvest was greater than the others. He caught nearly 5,000 void insects in one go and put all of them into the Soul Suppressing Cauldron.
Everyone was very satisfied with this harvest and continued to fly forward. Along the way, they occasionally saw a few void insects, but they were sealed and collected.
Guo Shier said, "The insects we got this time are clearly weaker. They aren't as good as what we got at the exit of the ruins."
Sershilin said in a low voice, "There should be more powerful insects. As long as they can devour more people, they will become stronger. This period of time … is enough for them to hunt."
Guo Shier nodded and said, "Well, we still have to find the gathering place of the experts of all races. If there are insects there, they should be more powerful."
Li Ran asked, "Wang Dayang, do you know any other famous ruins?"
Wang Dayang thought for a moment and said, "I know a place, I don't know if the insects have gone there, but that place has always been a supply point and a gathering point. It has a strong defense, so most people know about it. Should we go there and have a look?"
Li Ran said, "Okay, let's go and take a look. Is it far from here?"
Wang Dayang said, "It's not very far. It will take about half a day. If we fly at full speed, it will be faster."
Half a day's journey sounded not far, but it would be impossible to reach it without a certain speed. However, with the team's current flying speed, they might be able to reach it in a few hours.
Li Ran said, "Let's go there! Wang Dayang, lead the way. "
Wang Dayang nodded and led the team in a different direction. They immediately flew at high speed. In an instant, they disappeared in the sky, leaving only a faint trace of clouds.
This was a comprehensive supply and logistics point. It was remodeled from a small city in the ruins. A large number of components of the mechanical race had been added to it. It was completely made of metal, and the main form of the construction was that of a fortress. It was a very large distribution center. There were a large number of people and relics of the Ancient Heavenly Spirit Race, as well as all kinds of materials from the outside world. Therefore, this was an important gathering place in the Allheaven Ruins. Most people who could enter Allheaven Ruins knew about this place. Even if they hadn't been here before, they had at least heard of it.
Li Ran's team's speed was extremely fast. Perhaps this was the aftereffect of being chased by the insect tide. They were used to flying at full speed, and it only took them two hours to reach the gathering place.
Seven gigantic fortresses were connected by bridges. Each fortress was equipped with heavy weapons. Among them, there were weapons left behind by the Automaton Race, as well as weapons left behind by the Ancient Heavenly Spiritual Race. The combination of the two could deal with the majority of experts. Of course, it was useless against Guo Shier and the others.
These seven giant fortresses formed a large open space. There were a large number of buildings inside. The outer walls were all made of metal. They were five meters thick and more than thirty meters tall. There were a large number of metal bunkers on top of them. There were also many guards defending them.
Guo Shier couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for the Void Worms in the ruins, ordinary experts wouldn't be able to shake these fortresses."
A few patrol cars quickly approached, and someone shouted, "Who are you people?"
