Chapter 405: Chapter 404: Leading the Disaster Eastwards, A Bit Sweet

Just as the shadow moved swiftly, a dagger plunged viciously into it.

The Spiritual Fire flickering on the blade directly consumed the shadow.

After storing the Invisibility Cloak in the System Space, Lu Zixun appeared above the ashes.

Previously, Lu Zixun had wondered whether the shadow could detach itself and whether it had the ability to communicate information.

After burning the corpse to ashes, Lu Zixun still wasn’t at ease.

He purposefully left before returning cloaked in the Invisibility Cloak, and sure enough, he caught it.

There was still over a hundred kilometers to the Insect Nest from here, and given the advancement speed of the two teams, it would take at least three days to arrive.

However, if the Insect Race Heart was not produced by then, going there would be futile, and they might even end up surrounded.

Lu Zixun, perched in the Insect Tree, saw Tang Tianyu’s facial expression, which looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Why does Old Tang seem as if he has been parasitized?

Tang Tianyu smiled naively and scratched his head, "As long as it’s not a medium-sized Insect Tide, we’ll be able to handle it."

"Agreed."

Bing Xue Ning, taking small bites of her biscuit, nodded slightly, "The nights in the Insect Race territory are very dangerous, so be careful."

While eating compressed biscuits, Tang Tianyu and Bing Xue Ning discussed, "Our team will take the first half of the night, Ice Sister, your team will take the second half?"

The sky had already darkened.

Feeling the richer Blood Energy in Zone 14, Lu Zixun yawned; it seemed tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

It’s a pity that the people from both houses were too vigilant. After entering Zone 14, they buried their communication devices under the trees outside the city walls, otherwise, Lu Zixun would have gone to have a look.

Participating in the bug-killing competition was probably just a pretense; the people from both houses must have other motives.

Neither individuals nor teams from the two houses were visible on the leaderboard, not even in the top ten?

Thinking of the strengths of the participants from the two houses, Lu Zixun shook his head, his eyes gradually narrowing.

After studying the leaderboard for a while, Lu Zixun noticed something rather odd.

"Strange."

He could see that now Tang Tianyu’s team was comfortably in first place, with Bing Xue Ning’s team in second.

Nevertheless, the results were significant. Through the livestream, Lu Zixun could see that members of both teams had varying degrees of injuries, with those on the frontlines facing the most brutal confrontations.

As both teams delved deeper, they encountered increasingly formidable Insect Clan members; small Insect Tides were a common occurrence.

Approaching Bing Xue Ning’s team’s resting spot, Lu Zixun was contemplating whether to blend in when he suddenly thought of the overly enthusiastic Yao Meng.

Lu Zixun felt that rashly entering might put him at risk of being trampled.

After some thought, he decided to stealthily follow them.

Perhaps he could help Old Tang and his team rake in some points.

Unaware of what Bing Xue Ning was thinking, Lu Zixun took out a large mat from his storage talisman and laid down on it, ready to sleep.

As Lu Zixun dozed off, the surroundings suddenly grew quiet, and a Blood Energy Aura surged to the skies.

Lu Zixun opened his eyes, looking in a certain direction, "With this level of Blood Energy, it looks like there’s a team that’s been wiped out. There’s no signal flare in the sky; it must be Zhenfei’s people."

Originally indifferent, Lu Zixun heard rustling noises around him.

He looked down at the person on duty; currently, Chen Yue was dozing off.

"Never died before, huh..."

Lu Zixun muttered to himself as Spiritual Energy surged forth, bringing the temperature down to Zero Point.

"Fog Grass, why has it suddenly become so cold."

Wearing only a thin layer of clothing, Chen Yue was awoken by the cold, and he rubbed his body with confusion.

After opening his eyes and taking a look around, his expression suddenly froze.

In the forest, a pair of scarlet eyes flashed intermittently.

Their proximity was so near that if Chen Yue had woken up a few seconds later, he would likely have found himself under the claws of the insects.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yue shouted, "Enemy attack!"

A Spiritual Power Shield instantly appeared around the camp.

The Insects that pounced forward slammed hard against the Protective Shield, fell to the ground stunned for a moment, then got up and attacked the shield again.

But this time they were not successful, as lightning struck down, instantly turning them into charred remains.

Seeing an orderly counter-attack already underway in the camp, Lu Zixun smacked his lips, raised his hand to create a soundproof Protective Shield, and continued to sleep.

By the time Lu Zixun woke up again, he found that the two teams in the camp were still fending off the Insect Clan, and the Spiritual Power Shield had disappeared without a trace.

A medium-sized Insect Tide...

Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes; it seemed quite wrong to encounter a medium-sized Insect Tide in this place.

Wait a minute, Lu Zixun’s eyes narrowed again, the scent of blood he had sensed before was not from a team being wiped out.

It was Blood Attractant, a substance that could lure an Insect Tide.

Unexpectedly, someone had used this substance to bring about a medium-sized Insect Tide.

It seemed they intended to wipe out the two teams led by Tang Tianyu.

At this point, Tang Tianyu, who had been fighting for an unknown length of time, was now void of Spiritual Energy.

He went toe-to-toe with the Insect Clan, constantly sustaining injuries.

One could see Tang Tianyu’s team had essentially formed a large circle.

Protecting the team led by Bing Xue Ning within, waiting for them to recover their Spiritual Energy.

But this circle was shrinking under the Insect Clan’s fearless onslaught.

As the Insect Clan was about to break through the outer ring, just as Lu Zixun was about to take action, Bing Xue Ning woke up first, activated a Spiritual Power Shield to push back the Insect Clan, and Ice Spur pierced the bodies of the Insect Clan like an overwhelming storm.

"Yo, could this be what trust looks like?"

Now, with an ample supply of Spiritual Energy within Bing Xue Ning and prior experience, surviving the attack of a medium-sized Insect Tide shouldn’t be a problem.

However...

Lu Zixun looked into a patch of forest with a profound gaze, wondering when that one would make a move.

Reality is not a game, and there is no such enforced rule saying, for example, that the Insect Tide will recede when daylight comes.

From above, one could see that the medium-sized Insect Tide had closed in to form an encirclement, trapping both teams.

Tang Tianyu, whose hands were tender from fighting all night long, was finally breathing heavily.

Based on his many years of combat experience, he knew that if they did not find a way to break through the insects’ encirclement, they would eventually die there.

Before, a single strike was lethal.

As time passed, everyone’s face unconsciously showed signs of fatigue.

It now took two or even three strikes to kill an Insect Clan member.

Even for Lu Zixun, unless he used the Night Slayer Sword, upon seeing a medium-sized Insect Tide, he would turn and run. Anyone who stayed was a fool.

"Let me do it; if I use Ice Hell, we should be able to get out," said Bing Xue Ning, her hair disheveled.

Tang Tianyu directly rejected Bing Xue Ning’s suggestion, "No, using an S-grade Superpower Technique rashly when you’re an A-grade Spiritual Ability User, at best, you won’t be able to use your Spiritual Energy for a month; at worst... your Spiritual Energy Acupoint might be damaged."

Lu Zixun, who would occasionally strike out and kill a group of Queen-level Insect Race, watched the standoff between the two, and for some reason, found it a bit sweet.
