…
The insect king was not actually called "Insect King", nor was it called "King Insect". It was just a name that the survivors in the spore forest thought of it.
Chu Yunsheng didn't understand the complicated name that the insects in the creep area had for it. It was probably because of their long history.
He gave this "king" from the spore forest a new name – Green ripple insect.
Chu Yunsheng never got close to this mountain-like insect. Red-shelled insects were just "cannon fodder" in front of it.
Every time the green ripple swept across the battlefield, countless red beetles would be lifted up by the abundant wood elemental energy, and then fall down like raindrops. The number of casualties was countless.
In the past five or six weeks, the "comrades" that he was in had been repeatedly replenished by the green ripple insect. But just the number of people that died under the green ripple insect's attack alone accounted for more than half of the total number of casualties.
Chu Yunsheng had been pretending to fight it from afar. Even so, he had a broken leg once and a broken claw once. He had been defeated and injured twice.
However, the insects were not afraid of death. When they replenished and repaired themselves, they still loyally followed Min's order and continued to charge forward fearlessly.
The location where the green ripple insect appeared was actually very far away from Chu Yunsheng's team. Even if they didn't participate in the battle, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.
However, his "rigid" captain and his "comrades" were all excited as soon as they received the order. Even Dumb Insect, who was different from the others, was no exception.
Chu Yunsheng didn't want to go. He just wandered around in the same place, trying to avoid the attack. But he was pushed to the frontline by the swarm of insects …
On the pitch-black earth, the wind swept through every corner of the world, whistling.
The border between the spore forest that was full of vitality and the creep area that was full of death aura stretched for dozens of kilometers. Countless red-shelled insects were charging towards the spore forest like thousands of galloping horses.
This was supposed to be a local battle that could break out at any time, but with the accidental appearance of a Green Ripple Bug, it gradually and magically turned into a final battle on the battlefront that had been locked in a stalemate for a long time!
In the sky, on the ground, everywhere was filled with killing, screaming, and death … Attack!
Violent fireballs were hitting the ground like cannonballs, the raging fire was burning the forest one after another, and the sky was dyed red.
The battle of death had already begun, there was no longer a safe place.
For Chu Yunsheng, this kind of life and death battle came a little too early. He still hadn't figured out a way to improve his strength to protect himself.
However, it seemed like this world was never willing to stop and wait for him. No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't catch up with it.
He had to change his mind and follow his captain and Dumb Insect closely.
Every insect had its own unique aura, which was used to identify each other, and not from the almost identical outer shell.
Only insects could "smell" this kind of smell, and Chu Yunsheng was no exception. Right now, he was an insect. Relying on this unique smell, he did not dare to fall behind for even a second.
According to the iron law of the insect's survival, when they fought, they would first cooperate and protect their comrades, then the large group, and then the larger group.
Once they were separated, they would become isolated. Unless they were re-organized into another group, or if they met another group of insects that were also separated, they would have to face all kinds of dangers alone.
In fact, insects did not call each other "group". This was just Chu Yunsheng's own way of saying it. According to their language, it was very likely to be similar to the concept of "nest". It was very difficult for him to understand it, so he secretly changed it.
…
The group of insects was still moving forward. The flying green light arrows were released by some kind of strange insect. Once the red-shelled insects were hit by it, they would be poisoned on the spot. Soon, they would become powerless and die.
Chu Yunsheng was in an awkward situation. He was still not familiar with the insects' crawling habits, so he couldn't use the insects' maximum flexibility to dodge the attack.
The suffocation of death forced him to become a "sinister" insect that would betray its "comrades"!
Whenever he had nowhere to hide, he could only push out unprepared red-shelled insects to block the green light arrows for him.
Every second, Chu Yunsheng could feel that he was swaying on the edge of death. If he was even slightly careless, he would die!
Since the dark age of the catastrophe, even when he was still very weak in Shen Cheng city, he had never been in such a difficult situation. For the first time, he did not have the power to fight back.
He dodged another ten-meter-long green worm that looked like an earthworm. Suddenly, a shadow flashed across his red vision, and then he "flew" into the air.
"Help me!" Chu Yunsheng's reaction was still very fast. He immediately sent out a cry for help to Dumb Insect.
"Crack!"
In less than half a second, Dumb Insect jumped up, opened its two claws, and locked Chu Yunsheng's back blade legs.
Its lower body was then quickly held back by other "teammates."
A ladder was immediately stretched on the bloody battlefield.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng instantly calmed down. With a calmness that an ordinary red-shelled insect shouldn't have, he quickly observed his situation.
The thing that was pulling him up was a familiar ribbon-shaped flying insect. But this flying insect's target was not him, it was a "poor" golden-shelled insect. A small red-shelled insect like him was not enough to attract this giant insect's "interest".
The ribbon-shaped flying insect's big mouth was currently biting the golden-shelled insect. It did not have time to care about Chu Yunsheng, who was "accidentally" caught by its tentacles.
But the ribbon-shaped flying insect's flying ability was extremely strong. It was trying its best to shake its long body in the air. It was probably also afraid that if it was caught by those strange red-shelled insects for too long, it would attract a destructive attack from the enemies in the air.
The insect ladder was shaking along with its body, it was in danger. If Dumb Insect gave up even a little bit, Chu Yunsheng knew that he would definitely be dead.
He tried to pull the clamp down, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it. It was stuck!
Seeing that it was useless, Chu Yunsheng immediately gathered his remaining fire elemental energy and sprayed a corrosive mucus at the tentacle of the flying insect.
Time was of the essence, he had to race with the god of death!
"Hiss … hiss …"
Green smoke was coming out of the ribbon-shaped flying insect's tentacle. Chu Yunsheng was overjoyed. Ignoring the flying insect's angry screeching, he quickly tried to break free.
But unexpectedly, after the green smoke passed, although the tentacle of the flying insect was burnt black, it was still very strong. No matter how hard it tried, it could not break free.
Just when Chu Yunsheng was at his wits' end, in the sky, in his red vision, he saw an insect's shadow flying towards him.
At this moment, Chu Yunsheng wished that it was a green-shelled insect. Even if it was in its original form, it might be able to help.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished. When the shadow appeared in his field of vision, it was a triangular black insect that he had never seen before. It was attacking the swarm of red-shelled insects with lightning-fast attacks.
It was clear that it was not a friend or a foe!
This valiant insect directly attacked Chu Yunsheng and Dumb Insect below the ribbon-shaped flying insect. It was filled with a murderous aura.
It's speed was too fast!
Chu Yunsheng had never seen such a speed. Whether it was aliens or all the insects he had seen, none of them were even one-tenth as fast as it.
Even if he put on his armor and cloak, he still wouldn't be able to compete with it!
It was like a bolt of lightning that pierced through the sky!
Its appearance caused a commotion in the swarm of insects below Chu Yunsheng. Except for his teammates and the captain that he hated, many other insects had already given up on trying to save him.
Dumb Insect also saw the ghastly child that was rushing towards it. However, it didn't even loosen its grip on Chu Yunsheng.
Instead, it screeched loudly and used all of its strength to pull Chu Yunsheng down.
Suddenly, Chu Yunsheng felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart. He was actually touched by the insect!
Perhaps it was not his time to die. When the ghastly child was rushing towards him and Dumb Insect, a group of green-shelled insects that had just withdrawn from another aerial battle bravely rushed towards it.
Massacre! It was a complete bloody massacre!
Whether it was the original form of green-shelled insects, or the type-2 green-shelled insects, or even the type-3 green-shelled insects that Chu Yunsheng had seen for the first time, they were all invincible in front of the ghastly child.
Before Chu Yunsheng could figure out how the ghastly child attacked, the pieces of green-shelled insects that were flying all over the sky had already bloomed like a bloody mist. The ghastly child was in the middle of it.
Perhaps this group of green-shelled insects did not attack him for the sake of a few red-shelled insects, but they used their deaths to buy Chu Yunsheng the most precious thing – time!
At that moment, Chu Yunsheng no longer hesitated. He opened his sharp mouth and fiercely bit down on his left pincer …
Cut off one of his arms!
Chu Yunsheng had never thought that he would be forced into a desperate situation where he had to use self-mutilation to escape.
Mucus spurted out …
Chu Yunsheng was like a kite with a broken string …
Run!
Run as far as you can!
That thing was too terrifying!
As soon as Chu Yunsheng landed on the ground, he immediately urged his "captain" to take everyone away, even if it was the battlefield in front of him!
Without a pincer, Chu Yunsheng's body was even more unbalanced. He was almost crawling and rolling along with the swarm of insects to the front of the battlefield.
They didn't go far before a series of light explosions came from behind them. Many innocent insects were killed and injured. One of the blade-like legs even landed on Chu Yunsheng's head with bloody mucus.
…
In front of them was the "front line" where the battle was the fiercest. Fireballs were raining down like raindrops, it did not distinguish between friend and foe. Even the ground was shaking.
The attack on the ground was not as bad as the one in the air. The insects in the creep area had an absolute advantage in numbers, and they were forcing the spore forest to retreat.
Raging fire, corrosion, and energy attacks were erasing all kinds of plants in the spore forest inch by inch.
The swarm of red-shelled insects was moving forward like a bulldozer.
Finally, a very fat but very large green ripple insect blocked the swarm of red-shelled insects, including Chu Yunsheng's squad.
