Chapter 163 A "Guest" from Another Region

Rong Yi ran very fast; she was indeed full of energy after eating.

Wei Yanqing's physique wasn't as strong as hers. After running for a while, she controlled her body to float and then turned her head to look at Rong Yi's excited expression.

"There are quite a few ferocious insects, and some even look like adults."

Rong Yi: "I would like to see a female insect, whose insect crystals are particularly... particularly good."

She actually wanted to say that it was very useful, but she wasn't sure if she had ever obtained the mother insect's insect crystals.

The two soon encountered a swarm of ferocious insects.

Compared to the swarm of ferocious insects that Jing Feiyang had previously "self-destructed" to bombard, the swarm in front of them was mostly composed of adult insects, with sub-insects making up a small portion.

Sub-insects are generally at the third or fourth level, adults are at least at the fifth level, and mothers are mostly at the sixth or seventh level. With their current strength, dealing with fifth-level insects is very easy.

The movement of the adult insects' enormous bodies causes the ground to tremble, and they are numerous.

The smallest of these adult carnivorous insects is the size of a bus, while the larger ones are about the size of a small building.

Rong Yi picked the largest one. Wei Yanqing controlled all the sub-insects, twisted their necks, and after completing the set, collected the insect crystals and began to absorb them.

The energy of the insect crystal is very pure, no wonder Rong Yi said that many forces like this stuff.

Using the claws extended by the ferocious insects, Rong Yi jumped onto the adult insects one by one. Knowing that there was delicious food on its back, the huge ferocious insect began to shake, trying to shake Rong Yi off.

The Blazing Blade plunged into the back of the Savage Insect. The hard shell, which even missiles struggled to penetrate, was easily pierced like tofu by the Blazing Blade's sharp blade. However, the shell was thick enough that it didn't pierce the flesh beneath.

But as the molten metal continued to release high temperatures, the giant worm quickly sensed something was wrong. Its body temperature rose sharply, and the flesh under its hard shell began to sizzle.

Hiss——

The adult insect began commanding the surrounding smaller insects to crawl onto its back and drag Rong Yi off.

Dozens of sub-insects quickly climbed onto the broad back of the adult insect. Rong Yi had already made many cuts on the back of the adult insect. When he saw the sub-insects climbing up, he immediately pulled out the Blazing Fusion Blade and cut off every single one of the sub-insects that jumped over with a single cut.

The adult worm had lost many of the sub-insect's limbs on its back. After dealing with these, Rong Yi, holding the Blazing Melt, ran quickly and jumped onto the adult worm's head, stabbing it hard. The adult worm hissed in pain, and the smell of burnt flesh filled the air.

Rong Yi pushed the dagger handle downwards, and the adult insect began to struggle violently.

She calmly followed the adult insect's struggling movements, drawing a cross-shaped wound on its head. Then, she reached in, pierced through the soft, sticky brain tissue, grabbed the insect crystal, severed the nerves around it, and pulled it out.

Once the adult insect loses its insect crystal, it loses its vitality and collapses to the ground.

Rong Yi shook the liquid off his hands; this fifth-order insect crystal had a beautiful pink color.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding ferocious insects swarmed forward...

Wei Yanqing held a fifth-tier insect crystal in one hand and used the other hand to control the insect corpses in his line of sight to pile them up and collect them.

After more than three hours of fighting, the swarm of ferocious insects finally realized that there were two tough obstacles in this area. After observing the situation and realizing that they had suffered too many losses and made no progress, they decided to take a detour. If they couldn't break through here, they would find another way.

The area, which had been cleared of cover by Jing Feiyang's blasting, was now piled high with countless insect corpses.

Rong Yi: "After being here for so long, I can finally loosen up my muscles and bones."

She admired the inland city's ability to quickly control the situation.

Wei Yanqing divided the insect corpses into two piles, collecting his own portion first. "Should we move forward, or wait for them to continue?"

Rong Yi accepted her share, put his hands on his hips and said, "Rest for a while. If you're still not here after you've rested, go check up ahead."

I've been playing non-stop for over three hours, I need to catch my breath.

The two set up chairs on the spot, as if this were not a dangerous border, but a resort beach.

"More than 40,000 fifth-order insect crystals, more than 80,000 fourth-order insect crystals. Come on, give me your hand."

Wei Yanqing reported on the insect crystals they had collected and gave Rong Yi her share.

Rong Yi gave half of the insect crystals he had acquired to the Gray Text System.

Suddenly, a roaring sound rang out in the sky. Looking up, they saw indigenous fighter jets. Several jets flew over their heads and then turned back a moment later.

Rong Yi: "Are you checking the situation here?"

Jing Feiyang's commotion was quite significant; she estimated that the driver had taken some time to return to the base.

"Probably," Wei Yanqing said. "Let's see if there's a signal."

He was worried that Jing Feiyang's explosion would affect the nearby signal towers.

Rong Yi glanced at his phone. "It's alright, there's some signal, but not much."

The signal, which should have been at full strength, is now barely holding on with just one bar, as if moving even slightly would cause it to drop completely.

Using this signal, the two checked some information online.

The first thing I saw was news of a coalition warplane being attacked by a salamander, accompanied by a picture of a winged salamander crawling on the warplane.

These things are so terrifying that the pilots inside naturally wouldn't parachute to safety; leaving the fighter jet would mean certain death. So they all chose to crash their fighter jets, perishing together with the few remaining ferocious insects.

“So there’s another type of ferocious insect,” Wei Yanqing said.

Rong Yi frowned and shook his head. "No, the Savage Insect race doesn't have wings by default. They evolved by expending energy, but only Savage Insects of unimportant classes need to do this."

The evolution of the ferocious insects is entirely focused on defense and self-strengthening, leaving very little room to evolve wings. However, they encounter many situations, hence this skill.

Wei Yanqing looked like he had just learned something new. "It's rare to see a creature that can conjure up a pair of wings on the spot."

Rong Yi thought to himself that it was indeed rare, but this group had a strong reproductive capacity and was not afraid of any dangerous environment.

“But they are obedient creatures. Only the female insects can make the males behave this way.” Rong Yi concluded that these fighter jets carrying out the orders must have passed through the area of ​​the female insects.

Wei Yanqing continued browsing the news and saw information about underground shelters.

"The shelters in Huaan City are already accepting people, but not many people are going in."

Another news item reported that many people in Hua'an City had left with their families, fearing that the ferocious insects would breach the border defenses.

The video showed chaos in the city, including some acts of vandalism and looting.

Rong Yi: "It depends on how the indigenous people resolve this. If we stay here, should we build a temporary hut?"

The swarms might not be completely eliminated before they leave this instance world, so they need to plan for a long-term defense.

Wei Yanqing stood up, pointed, and a movable house appeared. "Then this one I prepared can come in handy."

Rong Yi's eyes widened. "When did you prepare this? Does it have everything inside? Won't it easily blow away by the wind?"

The weather in the dungeon world was getting colder and colder, and she worried that a strong cold wind might blow the house away on its own.

"It won't be blown away, shall we go inside and take a look?"

Rong Yi suspected that his teammate was a treasure chest that had come to life, and that there was something he didn't have.
