Fan Zhiteng and Uncle Gao were now completely silent. They were like ghosts lurking in the dark corners, quietly watching everything in front of them.
They could not help but wonder what the purpose of these spear hedgehogs was.
As the number of spear hedgehogs increased, Fan Zhiteng's entire spiritual space became more and more oppressive.
This meant that these Spear Hedgehogs had created some fatal pressure on his team.
"Everyone, look up to the sky!"
Fan Zhiteng had the ability to control minds. After the battle began, he connected with many people around him and added them to his mind.
The reason for doing this was naturally for communication.
And just when Fan Zhiteng's pressure was about to accumulate to the extreme, someone shouted in surprise. Everyone looked up to the sky at the same time. Sure enough, they saw a strong wind outside, sand and stones flying, and thick dark clouds rolling over and over, covering the entire sky at an extremely fast speed!
It should be known that when they first went into hiding and before the spear hedgehogs appeared, the surroundings were abnormally clear and there were no dark clouds at all.
In an instant, the originally sunny day of the Dragon Boat Festival turned into a dark and overcast day. The rolling dark clouds rolled crazily as if hiding thousands of ferocious demons baring their fangs and brandishing their claws …
Everyone felt abnormally suffocated and had difficulty breathing. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on their heads. Some of their bodies even trembled involuntarily.
Outside the window, the strong wind swirled up large swaths of yellow sand and the fallen leaves on the ground. The trees rustled under the strong wind, and even some small stones were blown away. From this, it could be seen that the power of this strong wind had reached a terrifying level.
And just when many people were shocked by what was going on, the ground suddenly began to shake. Then, countless terrifying rats ran out from it.
The smallest of these rats was the size of a hound, and the largest was the size of a calf. Moreover, they had extremely sharp teeth. When those teeth bit down, they could even cut steel into two.
The professionals in charge of hiding were all famous experts of order, but when they saw the densely packed rats crawling out from the ground, they still had a complicated feeling.
And at the top of a big tree, Wei Xun frowned as he looked at everything in front of him. The number of these rats was even more than he had imagined.
This was exactly the same as the destroyed stronghold from before.
What did this mean? The rat god that he had been chasing for months might be hiding in this deep pit.
According to the previous plan, once they saw these terrifying creatures, they would immediately attack. However, Wei Xun had obviously given up on the first option.
This was because these rats didn't seem to be attacking humans. To be precise, these rats didn't see any traces of humans at all. Instead, they focused all their attention on the hedgehogs.
Could it be that these rats had a grudge against the hedgehogs?
Both sides had agreed to fight today, and the humans had merely entered this place by mistake. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although he knew that these spear hedgehogs weren't kind beasts, compared to the Terror Rats, since they could choose to fight, Wei Xun naturally wouldn't attack them rashly.
He would give his opponent a quiet battle scene where no one would disturb him.
The most shocking thing was that it wasn't just rats that rushed out of the ground. There were also some extremely ugly insects.
These long insects had rings on their bodies. They looked a little like silkworms, but they were hundreds of times larger than silkworms. Each of them was a meter long, and their bodies were more than twenty centimeters in diameter. Coupled with their shiny green skin, at first glance, they looked like long winter melons!
They flapped their thin wings like bees, and their bodies suddenly contracted. "Puff! Puff!" They spat out turbid yellow water jets from their pointed mouthparts!
When these water jets hit the spear hedgehogs, thick black smoke immediately rose into the air. "Bzzt! Bzzt!" It was as intense as boiling oil. In the next second, the spear hedgehogs were dead.
In addition to these insects, there were some caterpillar-like creatures that were held in the arms of the Terror Rats.
If this was a peaceful era, the rats wouldn't do this when they walked on all fours. However, it was different now. The Terror Rats had completed their evolution and gained the ability to walk upright. Some of the Terror Rats relied on their legs to walk, and then their arms would hug the caterpillars. As they squeezed, the caterpillars would spit out a corrosive liquid that looked like flames.
Once the liquid sprayed on the spear hedgehogs, they couldn't resist at all. They fell to the ground and turned into a pool of blood.
The spear hedgehogs wouldn't just sit there and wait for death. Under the influence of this situation, they began to counterattack. They used the spears on their bodies to shoot at the insects.
One by one, the Terror Rats and insects were killed.
However, before the insect task force could fully appear, just as the spear hedgehogs were suppressing the insects' attack, a buzzing sound came from underground.
Beetles with large wings flew out. They were extremely fast. In just a moment, dozens of spear hedgehogs were decapitated by the beetles. They turned into corpses that fell to the ground.
When the heads fell, many of the beetles seemed to want to replenish their energy. They used their legs to hold the heads firmly. Then, they wriggled their mouths and chewed the heads like octopus balls. They ate until their mouths were full of scarlet blood.
Fan Zhiteng, who was on the tree, looked at everything in front of him in astonishment.
As an official member of the exploration team, Fan Zhiteng had encountered death before. However, it was his first time participating in an unimaginable battle of death like this.
The appearance of the rats and the insects together undoubtedly surprised everyone. Who would have thought that the rats would use some unknown method to enslave the insects to work for them?
As the surrounding area continued to develop, the number of insects had been decreasing. Of course, it was only limited to the area of Order. Because of Chen Feng's ruthlessness, after sacrificing countless lives, the insects had begun to retreat. They didn't want to be misunderstood by Order. They were afraid that they would be implicated for no reason.
However, unlike the surroundings of Order, in the outside world, the insects were always the overlords. Their reproductive ability was fast, and there were many races. Often, they could produce hundreds and thousands of offspring in about a year.
After all, humans would only give birth to a baby after ten months of pregnancy. However, the insects were different. They could produce more than a hundred eggs at a time.
In front of this number, the insects were undoubtedly a nightmare for other forces.
It was difficult to find insects in the surroundings of Order. That was because, from the beginning, Chen Feng had adopted the method of slaughtering the insects to exterminate them. No matter how terrifying the insects were, under the attack of countless people and professionals, they became weak existences.
Even a long time ago, Chen Feng advocated for people who lacked food to use insects as food to replenish their energy. In Order, there was indeed a mature food chain.
The terrifying insects in the outside world were made into delicious food in the hands of the people of Order. In other places, insects were even more dangerous than zombies and monsters combined.
It was unknown what kind of hatred these spear hedgehogs had with the Terror Rats. However, they were aggressive. Some of them even had the aura of a legendary being surging. It was obvious that they were prepared. However, what these hedgehogs didn't expect was that the Terror Rats had gathered so many insects. Compared to the Terror Rats that could only crawl on the ground, the insects' attack was undoubtedly more cunning.
These fellows danced in the air, opened their mouths, and spat out corrosive liquid onto their enemies. In just a single exchange, more than half of the Spear Hedgehogs were wiped out. Most of the Spear Hedgehogs were covered in bright red flesh. It was an indescribable pain and horror.
Some of the powerhouses from the Order Faction couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air when they saw this. All of this was simply beyond the imagination of some people.
Who would have thought that the situation would develop to this point?
In addition to fear, the people couldn't help but feel a little relieved. They didn't dare to imagine that if these spear hedgehogs didn't attack the Terror Rats first, they would be the ones facing the double attack of the Terror Rats and the insects.
It was undeniable that although these insects and Terror Rats were terrifying, they still couldn't do much to those legendary beings. However, what about those Gold-ranked professions?
Ants could kill an elephant if there were enough of them. Once the number of these insects accumulated to an extreme, it would obviously be a terrible influence on the humans.
Facing the constant harassment of the insects, the spear hedgehogs were obviously furious. Just when everyone thought that the spear hedgehogs would be defeated or even killed, a long howl sounded from the group of spear hedgehogs. Then, a hedgehog that looked like a giant elephant appeared.
Unlike the hedgehogs of the peaceful era, the other party's body was still dozens of times larger than the other members of the same race who were already mutated. The other party's entire body was shimmering with a golden light, as if it was plated with a layer of gold. Just a single glance at it was enough to blind one's eyes.
This hedgehog was obviously the king of the spear hedgehogs. A terrifying aura spread out like boiling magma. It was a kind of deja vu that could destroy everything around it at any time.
Wei Xun slowly narrowed his eyes. He felt a long-lost pressure from this hedgehog. The hedgehog was not an ordinary Gold-ranked being. It was a monster that was half a step away from being an epic being.
As time passed, a monster that was half a step away from being an epic being was born in the outside world!
When Wei Xun came, he was already prepared for the Rat God to be an enemy that was half a step away from being an epic being. However, he didn't expect that before he even saw the Rat God, a spear hedgehog blocking his way would be on the same level as him.
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.
"Everyone, hide your whereabouts. This is a critical period. Don't expose your identity!"
In just a moment, a whole set of combat plans had already appeared in Wei Xun's mind. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes and looked forward.
The terrifying murderous intent in his heart was completely suppressed, not allowing a trace of it to leak out.
Now, all he had to do was wait. He had to wait for the bugs and the hedgehogs to fight to the end. Then, the warriors of order would step into the battlefield and reap the lives of those bugs.
Wei Xun had just finished thinking.
"Rumble!"
The whole earth was trembling!
The wind that swept everything was mighty and surging. The suffocating feeling of destruction was like a burning meteorite crashing onto the earth!
"It's coming!"
A cold light flashed in Wei Xun's eyes.
"Yes, it's coming!"
Because of telepathy, Fan Zhiteng, who was on the side, bit his lip. His body was like a longbow, and he couldn't help but tense up.
At this moment, the previously relaxed professional undoubtedly began to feel nervous. Just when Fan Zhiteng found that he couldn't control his trembling, a broad and powerful hand suddenly pressed on his body.
Fan Zhiteng turned his head and saw Uncle Gao staring at him. Only then could he rely on telepathy to send a message, "What, are you afraid now?"
Fan Zhiteng originally wanted to refute, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Uncle Gao's eyes that seemed to see through everything. He then shook his head and said, "Yes."
He knew that he couldn't fool the other party.
"It's not embarrassing to be afraid."
Uncle Gao didn't laugh at him. Instead, he looked at everything in front of him and for the first time, relied on telepathy to say something to him.
"Although you've participated in some battles, perhaps this is the first time you've seen a victory of this level. But I'm different. I've seen it before."
"You know, I've followed order all the way. At that time, order was far from being as strong as it is now. We were just a group of newly promoted professionals. We weren't even familiar with our own strength. At that time, we really took one step at a time. If we took a wrong step, we could fall into the abyss and die at any time. "
"At that time, order still had many enemies, both internal and external. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but when I first saw the insect swarm, I was so scared that I peed my pants. I didn't dare to imagine how we would fight those insects flying over. I even thought that I would die, that I would be caught in the air by the insects and then torn into pieces to become their food."
"But in the end …"
Uncle Gao took a deep breath. His lips moved slightly, but his eyes flashed with an incomparably determined light.
"But in the end, I survived. From then on, I learned one thing. The insects aren't scary because they are destined to be no match for humans. After that, I began to believe in order and my teammates because I believed that as long as we can unite together, no matter how terrifying the insects are, they will never be a match for us."
"Little Fan, I know you're scared, but don't worry. You have me, other teammates, and Lord Wei Xun to protect us. We're a team. No matter what, don't forget that because your teammates are by your side, you will become stronger. Do you understand?"
Fan Zhiteng understood Uncle Gao's explanation. He was undoubtedly touched. It was as if he had only said a few words and Uncle Gao had interrupted him.
And now, in order to make him feel more relaxed, Uncle Gao had actually said so much to him despite the danger. If he was still as petty as he was now, how could he be worthy of Uncle Gao's care?
Thinking of this, Fan Zhiteng also took a small deep breath and then slowly exhaled. He realized that after the other party's guidance, his body really stopped trembling, and his vision could also be placed on the battlefield without being affected in any way.
And just when Fan Zhiteng had just calmed down, the giant spear hedgehog also began its attack. More and more of its subordinates were killed by the enemy. This caused the hedgehog to be extremely resentful.
It wanted to kill these guys in front of it. These ugly bugs and hateful rats. Today, no enemy could escape from its hands!
The ground shook violently, raising dust. The ground cracked, and spider webs spread out in all directions!
Many of the professionals lying on the trees were shaking violently. They could not even stand steadily. However, they did not dare to fall down now because everyone knew that once they fell, they would be trampled into a pile of meat paste in the next second.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the ground shattered, and a giant beetle with a dark orange glow drilled out of it. Its whole body was covered with sharp spikes like swords and spears. Its blue compound eyes exuded a cold light of death. There were three pairs of grayish-black large fangs at the corners of its mouth. Its forelimbs had evolved into two giant pincers. At a glance, one would think that it was a giant scorpion!
The spear hedgehog had a boss, and the bugs naturally had their own king. Feeling the terrifying attack, this giant pincer beetle no longer hid but directly appeared on the battlefield.
As soon as it appeared, its pair of blue compound eyes looked down at the giant spear hedgehog a hundred meters away. It slowly stretched out its three pairs of large wings and let out a sharp insect cry, causing the air to explode repeatedly!
This insect cry was the bugle call of the Zerg's attack!
Under the opponent's excitement, the bugs that were originally a little flustered because of the appearance of the giant spear hedgehog once again stabilized their formation. They no longer ran away but turned into terrifying slaughterers. Their compound eyes were filled with a scarlet color like that of wild beasts.
This gave people the feeling that these were not bugs that could be trampled to death at will in peacetime. They were simply the most terrifying beasts.
This was the charm of evolution. Under the transformation of unknown energy, the originally pitiful bugs had become slaughterers that dominated this world.
More and more bugs drilled out of the ground. Among them, there were some rare species of bugs, such as blood-traced centipedes and beetles. These bugs were rare in order, but there was a sea of them here. As for how many of them there were, even a telepathic like Fan Zhiteng could not calculate.
These bugs gathered together like a dam collapsing. Countless lands were destroyed. The originally fertile land was destroyed beyond recognition. Everywhere they passed, there was not a single inch of land that was still intact!
Dinofoots were mixed in with them. Their narrow eyes were also filled with ferocity. They seemed to be mocking the spear hedgehog for walking into their trap.
The giant spear beetle was ready to attack. It knew how terrifying the opponent was, but it also knew that if it wanted to live, this battle was inevitable. It had to fight!
