“Shh, shah…”

There was a harsh friction sound, the sound of wind, the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air, and the low roar of the giant cocoon.

Surrounded by strange and terrifying sounds, the soldiers of the deceased team slowly opened their eyes.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a white spider web flying towards me.

"ah!"

The soldiers were immediately terrified, and the horrific experience before they fell into coma emerged in their minds. They had no time to react, and they only felt their hands and feet going numb and unable to move. They could only scream and watch the spider silk unfold and expand before their eyes!

“——clang!”

The cold light flashed, almost cutting through the space.

The spider silk was suddenly stopped, and large pieces of ice flowers condensed in an instant. The damp water vapor underground just created a suitable environment. Ice butterflies danced gracefully, and under their beautiful appearance was a chilling murderous intent.

With their obstruction, the spider silk was frozen again and shattered into ice chips!

At the same time, a bright white light lit up in front of the warriors. The huge shields protected them firmly behind them, extremely solid and seemed invulnerable.

Invisible light flickered in the air, like a pouring rain, silently wetting their bodies.

The soldiers soon found that they could move, and the pain of being eroded disappeared without a trace in an instant. Weakness, pain, despair... all negative emotions were like ice and snow melting under the faint light.

Strength returned to them, and with it, hope rekindled like a spark.

The girl's clear voice came from behind.

"I am Gu Qiongsheng, commander of the Dawn Legion. We are here to rescue you."

She smiled, her pretty face as beautiful as an angel, and her voice was like a spring breeze: "Is everyone okay? Don't be afraid, leave the rest to us."

The soldiers stared at them blankly, almost unable to speak, and could only nod vigorously.

Gu Qiongsheng was wearing a newly made uniform with the emblem of the Dawn Legion printed on his shoulder.

It was a rising sun from the horizon. Although only half of it was visible, its proud posture showed that nothing could stop it from breaking through the sea of ​​clouds, soaring into the sky, dispersing the clouds and haze that had long lingered above human heads, and bringing a brand new future to the world.

The regimental emblem fell into the eyes of the injured soldier, as if flashing a dazzling light, which made his heart tremble and his eyes red.

"Dawn," the soldier murmured, "No wonder it's called the Dawn Legion, it really is the Dawn..."

It was like a ray of light that split through the layers of despair and saved them from the hands of death.

Although they were in a dark underground cave, facing a huge monster that was a hundred times the size of a human, the moment they saw Gu Qiongsheng and the Shuguang team members, they inexplicably felt a strange warmth in their hearts.

That feeling is called "peace of mind".

After evacuating the wounded from the battlefield, Gu Qiongsheng asked Qin Yuan to take them to a safe area, while he turned around and stared calmly at the twisting cocoon.

Zhou Qing and Weng Wei were still resisting the spider silk, while Han Tianming stood in the corner with his eyes closed, holding his breath, apparently in a state of concentration.

A lavender glow emerged from her body, dotted with stars, like a misty fog, or like the hazy and distant fishing lights on the sea. As it fluttered, Han Tianming looked as if he was standing on a distant peak, transformed into a banished immortal under the moon.

This is the method Han Tianming learned when he became an apprentice. He manifested his spiritual power in the form of imagery and then concentrated it between his eyes.

——It is somewhat similar to the compression method that Gu Qiongsheng came up with.

However, the purpose of her compression is to explode more violently and to unleash more powerful power in a short moment.

Gu Qiongsheng stood beside the girl and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

"It will be ready soon," Han Tianming said, a confident smile on his lips. "Captain, just wait and see my upgraded version of the super-powerful pupil technique—right now, give me ten more seconds..."

"Okay, now!"

The voice as crisp as a silver bell floated over the cave, setting off endless echoes among the countless rugged rocks.

At the same time, Zhou Qing stretched out her fair and slender right hand and grabbed the air with force!

Countless ice butterflies fluttered around and returned to her palm, condensing into a huge black sickle again.

Not only the original giant sickle, the sickle was also constantly expanding, and the shadow quickly unfolded, like Kunpeng spreading its huge wings, casting a shadow that covered the sky and the sun.

Under the cover of the phantom, the huge size of the cocoon seemed insignificant.

Zhou Qing was surrounded by brilliant light.

The light was not pure white, but as bright as clouds, like the fiery red sunlight just emerging from the horizon in the early morning.

That was the power that Gu Qiongsheng attached to her - switching the first skill to the damage-increasing state and using the huge energy of Gu Qiongsheng's current A-level peak, Zhou Qing only felt the hot power pouring into her body at that moment, making her whole body full of vigorous energy!

Zhou Qing took a long breath.

Immediately, the shadow of the giant sickle danced, and the slender body wielded the largest and most powerful weapon, carrying a tremendous force, and swung it down towards the white cocoon!

The white cocoon made a strange squeaking sound, and its body suddenly shrank and then suddenly expanded.

Countless spider silks sprayed towards the giant sickle shadow!

The dense spider silk was like a torrential rain flowing back into the sky, forming a pale waterfall!

“Crack—”

Countless silk threads appeared.

Nearly transparent silk threads appeared in the shining light, covering the entire sky and earth, instantly suppressing all spider silk.

The corrosiveness of the spider silk was stimulated to the highest level. The moment the silk thread crossed the spider silk, Gu Qiongsheng almost heard the sound of wisps of steam like pouring sulfuric acid.

But what's the use?

The corrosiveness of spider worms is a natural enemy to psychic warriors, so isn't her purification ability a natural nemesis to spider worms?

The skill was unleashed, a flash of light appeared, and as the purification effect spread, the erosion of the spider silk instantly became ineffective!

There was only a moment's obstruction, and the shadow of the giant sickle cut down unstoppably.

Seeing the spider silk was ineffective, the giant cocoon let out another twisted scream. Its fat body was incredibly flexible, and it desperately jumped up from the ground, trying to avoid the attack.

The moment it jumped up, countless shields appeared around it.

Weng Wei also used all his strength. At this moment, he clenched his teeth, his eyes were wide open, and the only thing in his pupils were the shadows of the densely packed shields.

The little fat boy was screaming in his heart, thinking that this time he must not fall behind!

He had to let Gu Shen see his strength, otherwise he would not be able to face the shame of staying in the team!

Countless shields were closely connected, forming a huge, jade-clear film.

Immediately, it pressed down on the squirming cocoon with the force of a mountain!

"Bang!!"

The giant cocoon was caught off guard and was smashed to the ground by the shield, making a deafening roar.

The soil beneath it cracked, dust flew, and the stone walls trembled. At that moment, the earth shook and the entire cave seemed unable to withstand such force and was about to collapse.

But fortunately, at that moment, the edge of the black sickle finally fell on the giant cocoon.

Sparks flew, ice chips flew, and amid a series of sharp sounds louder than an electric drill, Zhou Qing scratched the giant cocoon with force, leaving a deep scar!

The cocoon shattered, revealing the murky, dark space within.

Zhou Qing took advantage of the victory and attacked. The black sickle changed from smashing to cutting, and it cut towards the tail of the cocoon along the torn incision, with sparks flying, cutting the broken edge into a long arc.

A strong wind blew, causing her ponytail to flutter behind her like a banner of victory.

Under the scythe's cutting, the giant white cocoon was like two fragile petals, slowly opening weakly to the sides.

Gu Qiongsheng shouted, "Han Tianming!"

Han Tianming's cheerful voice came from the corner: "I've been prepared for a long time, damn big bug, take my super pupil technique——"

Her eyes were filled with rich purple, and she was waiting for the monster in the white cocoon to reveal its figure, and then she would hypnotize it with the force of a deaf ear!

The white cocoon completely dispersed.

But the next second, Han Tianming's exclamation was heard.

“——Hey!”

“Eh???”

Immediately afterwards, several screams rang out from all directions of the cave.

The moment they saw the scene inside the white cocoon, Gu Qiongsheng, Zhou Qing, Han Tianming, and even Qin Yuan, who had been analyzing the battle situation on the side, could not help but show a brief daze on their faces.

Han Tianming failed to launch the attack he had prepared for a long time.

Zhou Qing's giant sickle dug deep into the solid soil.

The giant shield disappeared, and silk threads fell like rain, dropping to the ground along with the inactive spider silk.

And in the center of the giant cocoon...

There was nothing there.

…

"how so?"

Han Tianming couldn't believe what he saw. He turned around bewilderedly and looked at Gu Qiongsheng: "Captain, where is the bug?"

Weng Wei also covered his cheeks with his hands, rubbing his round face until it turned red, horror leaking out from between his fingers: "No, what's going on?"

"Have we just been punching the air?"

Gu Qiongsheng looked at the empty ground and frowned.

She was as surprised as anyone else, but she was the captain and couldn't appear too confused at this time, as it would disrupt the team's formation.

The broken cocoon was still lying on the ground, still in the state of being cut in two.

At this time, not only the spider silk, but also the spider itself had obviously lost its activity. The white cocoon layer quickly turned a dull gray and its shape shrank rapidly. After a while, it was only half its previous size.

...That shouldn't be the case.

Gu Qiongsheng racked his brains to think, if the other party did not wrap any life in the beginning, how could they face their attacks and respond flexibly?

Could it be that the cocoon itself has become a spirit and will die if it is torn open?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately dismissed it with a wry smile and a shake of her head - if even the cocoon could be transformed into life, then the vitality of the Zerg would be more than twice as strong. What was there for humans to resist? They could just lie down and wait for death.

However, another thing also emerged in Gu Qiongsheng's mind, reminding her.

When she expanded her gifted vision just now, she indeed did not find any soul bubbles inside the giant cocoon.

Previously, she thought that it was because the giant cocoon itself had the function of shielding mental power. After all, she could not observe those scattered small white cocoons at first.

But now…

Just as he was hesitating, Qin Yuan suddenly said, "Qiong Sheng, look at the center of the ground!"

Gu Qiongsheng looked in the direction of his finger, his gaze passing through a pile of rocks and burnt ashes, and fell on a black outline the size of a palm.

At that moment, her spirit tensed up and her pupils shrank suddenly.

She felt it.

The black outline, which was only the size of a palm in visual field, seemed like an endless dark area in the exploration of mental power.

It was like an extremely powerful vortex, emitting extremely terrifying power, and was continuously absorbing the remaining light and heat in the cave.

"What is that?" Gu Qiongsheng murmured, "A wormhole?"

Qin Yuan's expression was serious, and his voice was low: "I'm not sure, but it does look quite similar..."

"Perhaps the creature in the cocoon felt overwhelmed and escaped through it?"

The cave suddenly fell into silence.

The damp wind blew again, casting an endless shadow over everyone's heart.

Han Tianming's lips moved: "You can actually escape?"

Weng Wei's face was filled with horror: "This is what a wormhole looks like? It's ridiculous..."

Zhou Qing's expression also looked a little grim: "What if he escapes? Should we chase him?"

Gu Qiongsheng said nothing.

Her heart was also filled with doubts, but what she was thinking was - is she really no match for her opponent?

Things are definitely not that simple. The giant cocoon hidden deep underground by the Zerg is actually wrapped with something that can't withstand their full-strength attack?

If it were a weak youngster, there should be more Zerg soldiers guarding it. But even though they made such a big noise, the underground Zerg cave remained completely silent.

Countless complicated thoughts swirled around in her mind, making her scalp numb and her head almost turned into a mess. She instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put it into words.

But at this moment, they heard a rustling sound.

Gu Qiongsheng had just thought of the Zerg outside when they arrived.

Gu Qiongsheng expanded his gifted vision and immediately took a deep breath - there were too many of them, overwhelming colorful light spots, converging towards them like crazy, the number was several times more than what they had seen along the way!

Damn it!

Where do all these weird things come from?

simply……

A terrible thought flashed through Gu Qiongsheng's mind, and she was instantly terrified: it was as if the Zerg had been lurking for a long time, waiting for the moment when they tore open the giant cocoon, and then swarmed out to bury them deep underground.

Gu Qiongsheng gritted his teeth and said, "...We are surrounded by Zerg. There are too many of them. I'm afraid we can't break out."

Just as he finished speaking, the rustling sound of insect limbs rubbing against the ground reached the cave entrance, which was only a few dozen meters away from them.

The scarlet vertical pupils emitted a faint light, which fell into the eyes of the warriors from afar. They saw countless yellow lights lighting up in the darkness one after another, and each pair of lights was filled with murderous intent and a desire for blood and food, staring at them intently.
