Chapter 60 The Key to All Insects (Part 3)
Yang Shu thought he was quite open-minded, but after watching all this, he felt that the relationship between Brother Xie and the goose was really unusual - they didn't look like a master and a pet at all, but more like a couple.
This... Brother Xie, is he having an animal-human relationship?
Yang Shu scratched his head, confusion written all over his honest face.
The boss’s hobby... is really unique.
He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just tightened his grip on the steering wheel, pretending to stare intently at the road ahead, and unconsciously leaned towards the window.
Xie Mian was surprised to find that after absorbing the insect stone, not only did the wounds on his body heal completely, but an unprecedented warm energy also surged in his body.
He lowered his head and stared at his palms. A bright green light flowed between his fingers, casting a soft light spot in the car.
"Wife? What are you daydreaming about?"
Goose Shifang suddenly put his face close and cackled.
The flat yellow goose beak almost touched Xie Mian's cheek. "Could it be that there is something wrong with that broken stone? Wuwu, please don't, honey, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xie Mian raised his hand to pinch his chattering mouth, and with his other hand he had already grabbed his wings.
The emerald energy flowed along the touching skin and feathers, instantly covering the wounds on E Shifang's body.
"Quack!" E Shifang suddenly leaned back, and the back of his head hit the car window with a "bang", causing Yang Shu in the driver's seat to glance nervously at the rearview mirror.
Xie Mian's face was cold as he increased the strength of his hands: "Don't move."
Wherever the energy passed, the hideous wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the energy flowed through every part of E Shifang's body, Xie Mian frowned, and a trace of worry appeared on his cold face - E Shifang's body was not as strong and healthy as it looked.
In addition to the wounds on the surface of his body caused by fighting, he seemed to have serious problems with his heart.
——There was no beating of the heart, nor the existence of insect stones.
After a human is transformed into an insect-follower, their heart will turn into insect stone.
However, E Shifang's heart was empty, with nothing in it.
Is it because he just acquired the healing insect power and is not yet proficient in controlling it?
Xie Mian, unconvinced, checked again, but nothing, still nothing - when the energy flowed through that location, it was like falling into a bottomless abyss.
"quack?"
What's wrong? Are you obsessed with Lao Gong's body?
Goose Shifang noticed Xie Mian's abnormality and deliberately bumped him with his wings.
Xie Mian ignored E Shifang's teasing and silently withdrew his energy. His knuckles turned slightly white from the excessive force.
"You...your worm stone..."
Xie Mian was just about to ask E Shifang when he suddenly felt a violent vibration coming from underground.
Boom——
The entire car was flipped over by a huge force, rolling several times on the road. The protective shield that E Shifang had been holding up was barely able to block the monsters attacking from all directions, but it could not prevent the attack from underground.
"Gah!"
Goose Shifang crashed into the roof of the car while rolling, and the light of the protective shield flashed violently. Before the three of them could climb out of the car, a cold light suddenly flashed -
Phew!
The sharp insect limbs cut through the car body like cutting paper.
At the critical moment, Xie Mian hugged E Shifang and rolled to avoid it, and the broken metal brushed against his back.
On the other side, Yang Shu roared angrily, and with great force, he directly lifted the deformed car body that was pressing on him away.
The metal debris drew an arc in the air—
In a flash, the ground suddenly exploded!
Xie Mian had just managed to steady himself while holding the goose when he immediately became aware of unusual movements underground.
He grabbed E Shifang's neck with one hand, took advantage of the momentum to retreat quickly, and summoned a cold white long knife with the other hand.
As he was being dragged, Goose Shifang once again cast out his protective shield, which crackled with purple electricity.
"Be careful underground!"
Xie Mian let out a low roar, holding his long sword in front of him, ready to attack at any time.
Amidst the flying dust, a man in gray protective clothing emerged from the ground.
The DNA spiral symbol on his chest was faintly visible in the dust, and a defiant and playful smile hung on his unmasked face - the left half was a human face, while the right half was covered with brown insect armor, and two tentacles swayed gently in front of his forehead.
"Wow~"
The man shook his insect-like right arm, with car body fragments still hanging on the limbs.
"I heard you sent Vortex A back empty-handed?"
He tilted his head, the half of his face covered in insect armor emitting a strange sheen. "Low-class bugs are low-class bugs. A few bastards can't solve them!"
“Ga ga ga!”
E Shifang suddenly laughed out loud when he heard this, and his eyes swept up and down, with undisguised sarcasm and contempt in his laughter.
"Quack, quack, quack, quack!"
Although I didn't understand what that fat goose was saying, it was definitely not something good.
The man's playful smile faded slightly, and a hint of anger rose on his face: "You're looking for death!"
As the man finished speaking, the ground around him exploded one after another.
Several similarly transformed insect followers emerged from the ground. Their antennae trembled slightly, their insect-like forelimbs gleaming coldly in the sunlight as they surrounded the three people.
"You curse so filthy!"
Xie Mian gave E Shifang a look and rushed forward with his knife.
The long sword drew a cold arc in the air, and wherever the blade passed, the limbs of the insect followers were broken.
He was swift, and every time he swung his sword, he accurately avoided the enemy's fatal counterattack. At the same time, healing insect energy circulated around his body, healing the damage to his companions.
The protective shield spread out by Goose Shifang's wings glowed with a faint purple light, repelling all the attacking insect-followers. There was a crackling sound of electricity, and smoke rose from the heads of the repelled insect-followers.
Yang Shu was not to be outdone. He gathered tremendous strength in his right fist and smashed the attacker's head with one punch.
Faced with the fighting power of Xie Mian and the other two, a fanatical light flashed in the man's eyes.
He twisted his neck, making a crackling sound as his joints dislocated. His slender fingers caressed the glass necklace around his neck with fascination, and his tongue slowly licked the sharp canine teeth.
"That's more like it..."
His voice trembled with excitement, and his legs suddenly burst through the fabric, transforming into insect limbs covered with brown shells.
The insect limbs and the long sword collided, sparks flying.
The man's attack rhythm was getting faster and faster, the insect limbs coming at him from all directions at strange angles. With each collision, the barbs on the insect limbs scraped against the blade with a sharp sound, and several times they almost hooked Xie Mian's slender wrist.
Green hair brushed against insect limbs.
The man suddenly lowered his body, his insect limbs carving deep grooves in the ground. "Can your knife... withstand this attack?"
The insect's limbs suddenly expanded, and a strange mucus oozed out of the cracks in its shell, piercing towards Xie Mian's vitals at a speed exceeding its previous speed.
"Even if he's dead, he can be revived, right? Hmm, Doctor?"
A pinhole camera suddenly lit up red light in the gap of the DNA spiral logo on the man's chest.
