Not long after, Commander Du's team was attacked by the first wave of red-shelled insects. They had a lot of firepower, and there were nearly forty awakened warriors in the team. Only one ordinary soldier was killed, and a few of them were injured, but they didn't cause any more damage to the team.
However, Chu Yunsheng was lucky. Ten insects were enough for him to use more than one absorption talisman.
Along the way, there were only a few insects that appeared intermittently, so the speed of Commander Du's team was not fast. When it was 20 o 'clock, according to the map, they should have arrived at Kun city. What appeared in front of Chu Yunsheng's team was not just a concrete city, but a jungle made up of tall plants that they had never seen before.
The tall buildings were submerged under the cover of these plants, and thick vines with intertwined roots were everywhere, as if they had emerged from another space overnight.
Chu Yunsheng recognized this kind of tree, he had seen it before when he went to the bread factory. It was so tall that he couldn't see the top of it. It was a plant that had never appeared on Earth before.
The inside of the jungle was filled with green fog. It was a little bright, but it was very secluded. It was like a man-eating monster, waiting for people to come to it.
The military team hesitated for a while, but in the end, they still drove into the jungle and gradually disappeared into the fog.
Chu Yunsheng gritted his teeth and followed them carefully. Once they entered the jungle, they were surrounded by the green fog. But the green fog did not seem to be dangerous, and the energy shield talisman did not have any reaction. It was just a little confusing.
The noisy crowd was already far behind them. In this strange jungle, it seemed to be very quiet and ominous.
Some of the trees had branches that were emitting white light, and the branches were covered with dandelion-like glowing catkins. When the tanks passed by, the catkins would fly into the air.
On the other trees, there were some bright red strawberry-like fruits. Each of them was as big as a TV, and they were emitting a bright red light.
Looking at these things, Chu Yunsheng almost thought that he had arrived at the insect's nest!
The road had already been cut into thousands of gullies by the strange plants. Even a tank would have to crawl slowly, and the motorcycle was too loud, so it would be easily discovered by the military team in front of them. So Chu Yunsheng put it away and walked with Yao Xiang. Fortunately, the military team's speed was not fast, so they were still able to keep up.
The surrounding high-rise buildings were wrapped in thick vines. Some plants even extended out of the buildings, revealing branches of different colors. The whole scene looked like an ancient city that had been abandoned a thousand years ago.
The only thing that Chu Yunsheng was familiar with was the messy cars under the building and the dead bodies everywhere. Many of those bodies had empty heads, which meant that there must have been red-shelled insects here before, but they still hadn't found any.
Chu Yunsheng and Yao Xiang cautiously followed behind the military team. From time to time, they were worried that a red-shelled insect or some other strange monsters would jump out from their surroundings or above them.
People were most afraid of the unknown, especially during this period of time. Although Chu Yunsheng had seen a lot of scary scenes, he still held his breath, stuck close to the tree, and looked around vigilantly.
As the military convoy went deeper into the city, they would occasionally hear one or two blood-curdling screams coming from the depths of the city. It was hair-raising.
The road could no longer be seen clearly, and the military convoy had to take a detour. There were many huge uneven plants in front of them, making it impossible to pass through.
The military vehicles stopped in front of a hospital in the Age of Light. Chu Yunsheng didn't know if they needed to replenish their supplies or if they needed to send someone to check the road ahead.
Chu Yunsheng and Yao Xiang were sitting on a red, lotus-root-like plant that was exposed on the ground. They could even see some liquid flowing inside it.
Behind them was a real estate agency's shop. The words "China & Real Estate" could still be vaguely seen on the shop's front. There were a few pieces of recommendation papers that were pressed under several bright vines, and they were all praising the real estate market.
He secretly took out a cigarette and gave Yao Xiang a bottle of mineral water. He also kept the sword close to him. He didn't dare to be careless.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing scream came from the depths of the jungle. Chu Yunsheng signaled Yao Xiang to stay alert, while he stuck half of his head out and looked at the direction where the scream came from.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! " The soldiers all aimed their guns at the direction where the scream came from. No one knew what kind of monster would suddenly come out from the green fog!
Time passed second by second. Chu Yunsheng felt very strange. He didn't know if it was because of the quiet environment, but he seemed to be more nervous than before.
Two figures finally appeared in his field of vision. One was in front of the other. When they saw the army in front of them, they were excited like people who were dying of thirst, but suddenly saw a heavy downpour. They ran even faster!
But it was at this moment, a gray, flat, cloth-like thing jumped out from the green fog. It had one red eye, and it was as big as half a human. It caught up with the person at the back of the green fog. The "cloth" stretched out and wrapped around the person's head. The person's upper body was tightly bound by the "cloth". He screamed in pain. His body was lifted up by the "cloth", but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of it. Soon, his upper body turned into a puddle of blood, and his lower body fell to the ground.
Then, another two "cloth" like this one flew out from the green fog and jumped on the person at the front of the group. The soldiers started to shoot at the same time. The bullets were like raindrops pouring on the "cloth" and the person's body.
Chu Yunsheng's fingers shook, the cigarette butt fell to the ground. 'What the hell is this thing?' This kind of way of dying made one's heart tremble with fear!
But it seemed like this thing's defensive ability was not as strong as the red-shelled insects. In the rain of bullets, two of the "cloth" were finally pierced through and fell to the ground. Only one "cloth" managed to break through the dense area of bullets and jumped on the soldiers on the armored vehicles.
But before it could attack, a fire elemental warrior who had awakened his fire elemental energy on the armored vehicle had already burned it.
Before they could even take a breath, the sound of the bullets attracted more trouble. Inside the green fog, there were countless red eyes, and Chu Yunsheng heard Commander Du's shout, "retreat!"
The tank roared and turned left, the ice elemental warrior started to release the cold energy, and the fire elemental warrior stood on the roof of the vehicle, cooperating with the machine gunners.
While Chu Yunsheng was watching nervously, he suddenly felt Yao Xiang pulling his arm. He immediately jumped back and looked at the direction where Yao Xiang was pointing. What he saw made him gasp. At least four to five red eyes were staring at them.
He immediately raised Qian Bi sword, kicked the ground with both of his legs, and stabbed towards those "cloth". He needed to kill those "cloth" as fast as possible, he could not alert the group of "cloth" in front of him and the military vehicles.
The "cloth"'s defensive ability was not strong, Chu Yunsheng's sword easily pierced through it. The "cloth" tightly wrapped around Qian Bi sword and his forearm. Chu Yunsheng used Qian Bi sword's Yuan Qi to break the "cloth" in an instant.
The other "cloth" also followed him. The speed of the "cloth" was very fast. Chu Yunsheng was worried that he might alert the group of "cloth" in front of him and the military vehicles, so he didn't dare to dodge too much. He only managed to break two "cloth" in a row, but another one had already wrapped around his head. He immediately felt the energy shield's resistance. The "cloth" was releasing a strange mist that was corroding Chu Yunsheng's armor.
Chu Yunsheng felt a strong sense of suffocation. He was shocked. He grabbed the "cloth" and tried to pull it off, but he couldn't pull it off!
In desperation, Chu Yunsheng used Qian Bi sword to slice the "cloth"'s outer shell, and forcibly broke the monster's outer shell.
