Wang Lan's eyes widened instantly as he watched the broken tree in front of him tremble violently, emitting strange "cooing" sounds. He quickly turned around and shouted to Ding Taishun and the others, "Go! Go now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the broken tree sprang up. Wang Lan turned his head at the sound and saw six legs extending from the broken tree. Four of them were long and thin, while the other two were thick and strong. Then, the six legs moved, and the broken tree turned around.
Wang Lan's pupils contracted instantly.
He finally saw clearly that this was not a broken tree at all, but a locust that was nearly four meters long!
When Ding Taishun and the others, who had been resting against the locusts, saw what the locusts looked like, they immediately felt their scalps tingle, their whole bodies trembled, and even their breathing became extremely difficult.
"Coo coo coo coo..."
The locusts squawked and straightened up, reaching a height of two meters, which made Ding Taishun and the others feel a chill run down their spines. They supported each other to prevent their legs from giving way and collapsing to the ground.
The locust swayed its body, observing the different species before it. The four people and the locust stared at each other for a moment, then suddenly the locust shuddered, as if it were about to attack them.
Just then, the group heard a gunshot ring out behind them, followed by a streak of heat that swept past them. Wang Lan reacted the fastest, recognizing the heat as a spinning cannonball that landed precisely on the locust's head.
"boom!"
The locusts were instantly blasted to pieces by the shell, leaving no trace of their bodies, with their blood splattering out in all directions.
Wang Lan raised an eyebrow and subconsciously held her breath.
Then the locusts' blood splattered all over him.
"Holy crap!"
Wang Lan quickly rubbed her face and turned around, cursing.
The other three were clearly still in shock, remaining unmoved as the locusts' blood dripped from their bodies.
Wang Lan walked while gagging, her face contorted in a grimace. Zhang Jian, suppressing his laughter and nausea, covered his nose and mouth and handed Wang Lan a few sheets of paper in a serious manner.
Wang Lan took the paper, paused, and spat.
"What can you do with this little bit of paper!"
Even so, he still wiped his face.
Li Shuo walked over and said, "Haha, these locusts look fierce, but they're actually quite vulnerable!"
After saying that, he leaned closer to Wang Lan and smelled it, then said, "Hey, you know what, this locust blood doesn't have much of a smell! If it were like millipede blood, we'd be in for a world of trouble."
“Don’t let your guard down,” the Holy Envoy said, rising to his feet. “One or two locusts are nothing, but if a large number of locusts appear, we will be in danger. You must know that before the anomaly occurred, the destructive power of locust plagues was enormous, a disaster that humans simply could not withstand!”
“Then you should say less,” Li Shuo said. “Many things come to pass the faster the more you talk about them.”
After Li Shuo finished speaking, he burst into laughter.
But he had only been laughing for a short while when Wang Lan immediately made a shushing gesture at him.
Upon seeing this, Li Shuo immediately stopped talking, his face stiffening.
Because he heard some faint, strange sounds coming from afar.
It was buzzing like flies.
It looks like a mosquito.
Wang Lan frowned and looked around. Ding Taishun and the others quickly regained their senses and adjusted their mindset. They stood next to Wang Lan and raised their guns to aim.
Wang Lan suddenly turned her head to look behind Sha Si and the others.
Suddenly, a huge cloud of smoke rose from the white mist, but upon closer inspection, it seemed less like smoke and more like a large shadow.
However, when Wang Lan saw it clearly, his expression immediately changed.
It was a huge swarm of locusts!
The largest locust was nearly five meters long, while the smallest was more than one meter long. The swarm of locusts jumped or flew, moving forward side by side. When they were exposed to the public eye, a series of "cooing" sounds rang out.
Everyone was terrified and immediately took off running.
Li Shuo shouted, "Damn it! It's all that Holy Son's fault, that damned jinx!"
After saying that, he fired several more shots at the swarm of locusts.
The shells exploded, setting the bamboo forest ablaze, and the leading locust swarm was blasted to pieces. However, this did not affect the progress of the locust swarm; instead, it gave everyone a false impression.
The locust army seems to be attacking even more fiercely!
Li Shuo's face turned green. To lighten his load, he quickly put away his spear and turned it into a long staff. He picked up the sauce and ran, cursing as he ran, "Damn it, if I encounter these kinds of gregarious monsters in the future, I have to run fast. I can't fight them at all. If I kill one, I'll anger the whole group!"
"Exactly!" Zhang Jian was also terrified, his face turning deathly pale. "These monsters are much more united than humans!"
Wang Lan led the way, clearing a path for the others, with Ding Taishun and the others following on either side, constantly looking around to check for any suspicious activity.
Nan Chen was responsible for covering the rear. He was agile and charged forward, wielding two daggers and cutting down all the bamboo around him. The bamboo fell down in an instant. Nan Chen thought that this would slightly hinder the locust army, but he did not expect that it would help the locusts.
The bamboo fell into the locusts' midst and was quickly devoured by them, leaving not even a single bamboo leaf.
"Yes, yes!"
Li Shuo glanced back and saw a bamboo stalk being eaten by the locusts. He quickly said, "Come on, Nan Chen, once you've fed them, they won't eat us anymore!"
Upon hearing this, a flash of killing intent crossed Nan Chen's eyes. He stepped forward, abandoning his futile efforts, and followed the others, staring at Li Shuo as he said, "You fatso, if you have the guts to talk nonsense, then go and do it!"
"careful!"
At this moment, Wang Lan suddenly shouted and flashed, using the Flash skill to instantly teleport from the front to the back, and then pulled Nan Chen to the side.
Just where Nan Chen had been standing, the ground suddenly bulged up, and a huge earthworm burst out of the ground. Its viscous fluid covered its pale purple body, and it wriggled, emitting an earthy smell.
"Walk!"
Wang Lan pulled Nan Chen backward, while the earthworm was born at the wrong time. Before its body had fully emerged from the soil, it was overwhelmed by the locust army and then devoured completely.
The group ran forward with all their might, trying to shake off the locusts that were relentlessly pursuing them. At this moment, they unleashed astonishing endurance and speed.
But suddenly, a strange shadow appeared in front of them.
Zhang Jian was already at the front, and he was the first to see the shadowy area, which turned out to be countless fist-sized midges. He immediately shouted to the people behind him to report the situation.
But then they discovered that two mantises, each taller than a person, had jumped down from the bamboo. The mantises were entirely green and had blended into the bamboo.
At this moment, Wang Lan and Nan Chen are fighting against it.
This bamboo forest is simply the most dangerous place in this mysterious forest!
However, the terror is intensifying.
As it grew darker.
After their vision was severely obstructed...
