The insects appeared one after another and swept past them. The torches of the humans were extinguished one after another. Everywhere in the wilderness, there were only shrill screams.
Chu Yunsheng's night vision goggles had already been destroyed by the flaming bird, so he could only rely on his Yuan Qi to move the sword. Because of the darkness, he didn't know how many insects there were. He could only hear the screams coming from all directions.
"Bang!" Chu Yunsheng pulled the trigger, a large fireball appeared on the bodies of the red-shelled insects around him. It helped him identify the direction.
The fire elemental energy bullet's damage to the red-shelled insects was far less than his sword's energy shield. Most of the time, he only used the gun as a light source for a short period of time.
Not long ago, when the insects were rushing towards him, he used his fastest speed to make an energy shield talisman. He didn't even have time to make another talisman for Lan Chaoyin before he was drowned by the swarm of insects.
With Yuan Tian stage two's Qian Bi sword, coupled with the armor and the energy shield talisman, Chu Yunsheng believed that although he wouldn't be able to kill all the insects, he would still be able to get out of the encirclement with his speed.
However, the damage to the armor not only weakened his defense, but also weakened his running speed.
Fortunately, Qian Bi sword had absorbed the red-eyed monster's strange gas. Chu Yunsheng didn't even need to use any sword fighting skills, he could easily cut through the insects' layers of protection and kill them with one strike.
He didn't know how many red-shelled insects he had killed, and he didn't know how many times he had been attacked by red-shelled insects. All he knew was that even the flaming bird couldn't kill him, let alone these insects.
'I will definitely get out of here alive!' Chu Yunsheng's heart was as firm as a rock.
Chu Yunsheng slowly moved away from the red-shelled insects, but he was surrounded again and again. There were too many insects! There were so many of them that he was like a small boat in the middle of the ocean.
As time passed, the screams and cries of the people around him became less and less. In the end, Chu Yunsheng felt like he was the only one who was still fighting.
He was not afraid of being pinched by the red-shelled insects' claws, because he could use the sword to cut off their claws when he was pinched.
He was not afraid of being stabbed by the red-shelled insect's sharp legs. Although the heavy impact made his blood boil, he could still use the momentum to accelerate forward.
What he was most afraid of was a group of red-shelled insects surrounding him and spitting out endless corrosive mucus. If the armor was still intact, it would be fine. But now, with only the energy shield talisman's protection, it was already too late.
Every time he was surrounded, Chu Yunsheng had no choice but to use his sword fighting technique. When he was fighting against the meat worm, or even the flaming bird, Chu Yunsheng only used the sword fighting technique to kill the red-shelled insects. But now, Chu Yunsheng finally experienced the power of the sword fighting technique that was created by the senior practitioner in the ancient book.
Strangle! A frenzied strangulation! The sword shadows that were flying all over the sky were flashing with cold light, but it was very dazzling in the dark. Those carapaces that Chu Yunsheng had spent a lot of effort to cut through were all shattered into pieces in just a few seconds.
Every time the sword shadows passed by, the ground around Chu Yunsheng would be filled with the broken carapaces of the red-shelled insects. Not a single one of them was intact. It made the red-shelled insects behind him panic for a while before they dared to attack him again.
This was the real Qianjun!
Yuan Tian stage two, this was just the tip of the iceberg.
Since the second he stepped into Yuan Tian stage two, he couldn't stop to study his new ability. Time was running out, and he had to find a way to escape from this place.
If the energy shield talisman was a level-two or level-three talisman, his armor would have been upgraded to another level, or his sword fighting technique would have been upgraded to another level.
At this moment, Chu Yunsheng was rushing forward with the sword in his hand. The sword fighting technique consumed too much Yuan Qi, so he couldn't use it frequently. He still had to rely on the three sword styles of Qianjun sword.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a flare appeared a little further away from him. Chu Yunsheng was happy at first, it meant that the army was in front of him. Then he felt a chill down his spine. Under the illumination of the flare, he could almost see the swarm of insects all over the mountain. There were so many of them!
Chu Yunsheng was shocked by the swarm of insects. He was caught off guard and was stabbed by one of the red-shelled insect's legs. Although it didn't pierce through the energy shield talisman's protection, it still made him spit out a mouthful of blood. He was heavily pressed on the ground by the insect's legs. Then the insects around him immediately swarmed over, it seemed like they were going to drown him.
Chu Yunsheng was shocked. He quickly swung the sword to cut off the swarm's legs that were falling from the sky. His left hand pulled the trigger and injected a large amount of fire elemental energy into the gun. "Bang!" The gun hit an insect that was closest to him. With the help of the fire elemental energy, he jumped up into the air!
Chu Yunsheng was still in the air. There were countless insects below him. If he fell down again, he might not be able to climb back up again! He didn't dare to hesitate, he once again used the sword fighting technique. Six sword Qi dashed towards the ground and swept across the area, creating a small area where Chu Yunsheng landed.
The sword fighting technique consumed a lot of Yuan Qi, and Chu Yunsheng didn't have much time to replenish his Yuan Qi. If he was entangled again, it would be very dangerous! Therefore, as soon as he landed, he immediately rushed forward. He would kill any insects that stood in his way.
Soon, Chu Yunsheng encountered the first group of people who were still resisting the swarm. It was not the army that he was expecting. Instead, it was about twenty awakened warriors. They formed a circle and were trying their best to resist the swarm of red-shelled insects.
They were fighting and retreating at the same time. The swarm of red-shelled insects couldn't break through the encirclement, they could only slowly consume their energy.
At this time, fighting against the swarm of insects alone was a suicide mission. Just when Chu Yunsheng wanted to join them, he noticed that the ground suddenly started to shake. He quickly killed two red-shelled insects that were blocking his way, and then moved away from the ground.
The ground was shaking more and more violently. Under the illumination of the fire elemental energy released by the fire elemental warriors, a huge insect head that was as big as a bus crawled out of the ground. Its neck was as big as its head, and there were sections of golden carapace on its body. It was shining brightly under the fire!
The sudden appearance of the giant monster caught those awakened warriors off guard. Two of them were instantly killed by the red-shelled insects!
The giant golden-shelled insect that crawled out of the ground raised its head and screeched loudly. Then it spat out a long tongue of flame towards those awakened warriors. The flame instantly engulfed all the awakened warriors. Even the red-shelled insects that didn't have time to dodge the flame were burned into ashes.
The flame was like a fire dragon. Although it was not as pure as the flaming bird's flame, its power was almost the same. The two people that were closest to it were instantly burned into ashes. The rest of the awakened warriors behind them were all caught in the fire and screamed in pain.
Chu Yunsheng was shocked! At this moment, he didn't dare to join them. While the golden-shelled insect and the rest of the awakened warriors were fighting, he quickly killed all the red-shelled insects that were blocking his way.
Gunshots! Gunshots!
Chu Yunsheng desperately ran towards the place where the gunshots were coming from. Along the way, he killed many insects.
Time was passing by. The power of his Qian Bi sword was getting weaker and weaker. His Yuan Qi was also decreasing rapidly. Chu Yunsheng knew that once he used up all his Yuan Qi, he would be killed by the insects.
Originally, he could kill a red-shelled insect with one slash, but now he needed two slashes, or even three slashes. He was getting weaker and weaker!
The blood on his face was mixed with the insect's mucus. He didn't have time to wipe it off, so he couldn't even open his eyes.
The gunshots in front of him were getting clearer and stronger. 'The army should be there.' Chu Yunsheng kept encouraging himself. 'I'm almost there!'
Under the light of the gunshots, Chu Yunsheng could vaguely recognize that it was a small village. There were rows of farmhouses.
Relying on this glimmer of hope, Chu Yunsheng tried his best to get close to the village. He was too tired at the moment. Since the fog city was destroyed by the nine fog cores, he had been fighting non-stop. If everyone had potential, then he would have exhausted all of it by now.
He couldn't hold on any longer. His consciousness started to blur. He could only swing the sword in his hand mechanically.
Chu Yunsheng could even hear the soldiers' hoarse roars. It was very close. But even though it was only a short distance, he felt that it was even farther than the distance between Shen Cheng city and Kun city.
The closer he got to those gunshots, the denser the insects became. When Chu Yunsheng entered the village, he knew that he couldn't get through. Those insects had already surrounded him, one after another. There was no gap for him to get through!
He was exhausted. He couldn't move forward, nor could he move back.
The only thing he could do was to break into a three-storey farmhouse closest to him. He killed a red-shelled insect at the door.
The flashes of the army's guns lit up the room. Chu Yunsheng didn't care if there were more insects chasing after him. Using the flashes of light, he climbed up to the second floor. Using the last of his strength, he slashed the broken stairs with his sword. But he couldn't stand it anymore. He sat down on the ground and gasped for air.
He had already used up all the absorption talismans, and his armor was completely broken. Even the combat armor talisman had been destroyed. Fortunately, most of the insects were attracted by the gunshots from the army, so they didn't chase him up the stairs.
Chu Yunsheng struggled to move to the window. He wiped off the blood on his face. When he looked outside, he couldn't help but laugh. The army that he had high hopes for was just a group of soldiers that were gathered on the roof of a building. They were surrounded by a large number of heavy weapons. Chu Yunsheng guessed that the main force of Du Qishan's division had already retreated a long time ago.
At this time, these soldiers were almost at the end of their rope.
"Captain, we ran out of bullets!"
"Me too!"
"We also ran out of rockets!"
…
The ground floor was filled with red-shelled insects' bodies. The living insects stepped on the bodies of their own kind and swarmed up the stairs. There was no way for the soldiers to survive.
Under the captain's desperate call, only a dozen soldiers were left. Some of them were crying, some of them were laughing.
"Boom!"
The ground was shaking. These soldiers ignited all the explosives under their bodies. They died together with the insects on the roof!
