Chapter 14 Crunch

"Over here!"

The clear voice echoed in the forest.

Seeing that Lan Xiu was about to die at the hands of insects, An Lang no longer cared about anything else. He swung down from the uneven branches, rolling and crawling on the ground for a few times.

He waved his arms hard, trying to attract the star beast's attention.

Xingzhi was originally more interested in male insects, and its attention was instantly attracted by Anlang who was jumping up and down.

The dark green eyes moved between the two of them for a moment. After determining that the female insect on the ground had completely lost its ability to move and posed no threat, Xingzhi decisively turned around and attacked Anlang.

It rushed forward with terrifying force like a giant truck. The beetle was so close that An Lang could even see its sharp fangs and the wound on its eye that had been cut off.

He rolled on the ground, hoping to make the beetle hit the tree trunk so as to delay some time before climbing up the tree. However, the Star Beast, which had been played around with a few times, had learned its lesson and suddenly braked, then used its big claws to pick up An Lang.

Before An Lang could exclaim, he saw his line of sight rising higher and higher. He saw the giant insect below extending its synapses again, and the green eyes on the synapses were fixed on him tightly.

After the parabola reached its apex, it began to fall back, and he was getting closer and closer to the star beast's constantly opening and closing mouthparts.

It’s over!

This thought flashed through An Lang's mind.

At the critical moment, he felt his body suddenly become lighter.

He turned around in panic, only to see a pair of huge wings suddenly spread out from his shoulders.

Help!

He has grown wings!

Oh my god!

An Lang flew up shakily, and the rustling sound of his wings made his scalp tingle, as if there were ten thousand flying insects following him.

But now is not the time to think about these things. An Lang gritted his teeth and flapped his wings desperately. His body had very limited control over this new part. He didn't dare to relax for a moment, for fear of falling and becoming a victim.

After raising his gaze, he saw Lan Xiu lying in a pool of blood.

No matter what! Save people first!

He flew towards Lan Xiu shakily, but fell to the ground again and again because of his lack of skill, and the Star Beast behind him was chasing him relentlessly. The most recent time, An Lang stepped on the Star Beast's injured eye to gain leverage to fly again.

Synapses are soft, rubbery, and squishy.

The star beast let out an angry and sharp howl.

An Lang's hair stood on end and he didn't even dare to lower his head.

Oh my god, if you’re not careful you’ll die a very ugly death.

"Lan Xiu!"

An Lang shouted loudly, he made a circle, led the Star Beast off its orbit, stretched out his hands, and dived suddenly.

The red-eyed female insect lying on the ground opened her eyes wide in shock. In a daze, she stretched out her hands blankly towards the sky.

He had never seen the wings of a male insect.

They trembled like newly sprouted flowers.

The lights hanging high above it shone on it, and as the angle changed, it reflected light that seemed blue, green, and gold. It was overwhelming, shrouding the female insect's red pupils, like a dream woven in midsummer.

The next moment, An Lang's arm passed through his armpit and both of them flew up suddenly.

Of course the enraged beetle refused to let go of the food in its mouth. It rushed around recklessly, knocking down large trees along the way.

An Lang kept feeling the wind brushing past his ears, and his shoulder blades ached. His fragile wings, which had just grown, could not bear the weight of two people. He felt that he was flying lower and lower, and he would fall to the ground after flapping his wings twice.

He couldn't find the hanging rope.

Once all the big trees in this area are knocked down or Anlang is exhausted, they will die here sooner or later!

"Go over there." Lan Xiu said hoarsely in his arms, "This is an A-level star beast, and the rope is broken."

"We still have a chance if we go to another partition area."

An Lang had no suspicion of him. The two of them were now in the same boat, and he had never thought that Lan Xiu would lie.

The blue partition wall suddenly melted after recognizing An Lang's admission qualifications, and Lan Xiu passed through smoothly as well.

The beetle's large claws pushed out along the light wall that had not yet closed, and hit An Lang's calf. An Lang was already at the end of his strength. He lost his balance in an instant, holding Lan Xiu and rolling on the ground twice before stopping.

"Fuck!"

Before An Lang could panic, he saw the blue wall of light growing again and actually melted the big claw!

The beetle struggled in severe pain, its mouthparts constantly opening and closing, and its single green eye darted wildly, filled with resentment.

An Lang got goose bumps at the first sight, and he inappropriately thought of the beetle in Kafka's work that had an apple embedded in its back.

The female insect in his arms vomited a mouthful of blood. An Lang didn't have time to look at it anymore. He quickly bent down to check on Lan Xiu's condition.

"Hey, Lan Xiu! Lan Xiu!"

Although there were no Star Beasts waiting at the light wall of this partition area, it did not mean that this partition area was safe. An Lang had to take him to find a place to wait for rescue.

But Lan Xiu's condition was terrible. His eyes were closed tightly, and blood was still gushing out of the bloody hole in his abdomen. The black insect armor attached to his right hand had disappeared, and his entire arm was twisted unnaturally, obviously broken.

An Lang couldn't wake Lan Xiu up, and he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that moving him would further aggravate his injuries.

Just then, he heard a very light chewing sound.

An Lang has always hated the sound of nails scratching on a blackboard.

He gets goose bumps whenever he hears that sound.

He once saw a saying that the sensitivity to this kind of sound comes from the need for human survival. It is actually an early warning mechanism - because it is very similar to the crunching sound made by wild animals gnawing on human bones.

But now, An Lang only felt that this voice made him shudder.

Crunch.

Crunch.

The voice was barely audible, but it touched Anlang's nerves precisely.

And he could feel the sound getting closer.

An Lang couldn't help but roll his Adam's apple.

The wings on his back were hit when he fell just now, and now they are a little powerless, let alone flying with two people.

He glanced at Lan Xiu lying on the ground and silently encouraged himself in his heart.

After An Lang tiptoed away, the female insect lying on the ground slowly opened her eyes.

His blood-red pupils turned light pink in an instant, and his expression was clear, not at all like someone who had woken up from a coma.

Lan Xiu's fingers slowly extended to the wound on the abdomen that was beginning to scab. After awakening, the female insects had excellent self-healing abilities, and injuries that could kill male insects were not worth mentioning to them.

Anlang Cofflin.

Lan Xiu slowly repeated the name in his heart. How come the wings that he never grew until his death in his previous life suddenly grew in this life?

He compared the male insect's two completely different personalities.

Perhaps it is a change brought about by a parallel universe.

But it doesn't matter.

Lan Xiu stood up, his skeleton suddenly stretched, and the rapidly growing bones and flesh tore open the wound that was about to heal again, and his fingers were also stained bright red.

How would he kill Ke Feilin this time?

He carelessly took off the clothes that were too small for him and let his long silver hair wrap around his whole body.

His bare feet landed lightly on the land sprouting new buds, his silver hair stretched to the ground, and he walked slowly, as if this was not the "endless" land filled with star beasts, but his garden.

A hidden insect camera crawls in the dense jungle, faithfully recording every move of the white-haired female insect.

"I almost forgot." Lan Xiu said softly.

The insect camera exploded with a "bang".

At the same time, Rayleigh, who was outside the light wall, received a call from the sub-female in the Colosseum: "Mr. Rayleigh, something terrible has happened! All the cameras in 'The Boundless' are broken!"

"What did you say?!"

"It's all broken! The existing footage is also damaged and can't be retrieved!" The staff member was scratching their heads anxiously. "Now we only know that His Highness went south! But we can't see which isolation zone he went to!"

"How did it break down?"

"I don't know. We suspect that the locusts are using their mental power to cut off the inside!" The sub-female said tremblingly. In the entire "Boundless" area, apart from His Highness and the unawakened female locust, there were only more than 20 locust rebels who were deployed three days ago.

If that's the case... then Your Highness!

No matter how excited the female insects outside were, it was so quiet on Anlang's side that even the sound of breathing could hardly be heard.

He had just followed the direction of the sound, just to see what kind of star beast it was, and then lead it away to another place - Lan Xiu was so injured that he really couldn't be moved. If the broken bones in his body pierced his internal organs, he would only die faster.

After he rested for a while, his wings could barely fly for a while, so he died slower.

Moreover, when he came down, Rayleigh said that the rescue team would arrive in an hour at most. They had just been fighting with the beetle for so long, he should be able to survive until the rescue team arrived!

It's just that his headset fell off when he was escaping, so he couldn't get in touch with Rayleigh.

Not long after walking, he saw a scattered shoe.
