Gou Fugui had seen cloudy days when the sun was obscured by dark clouds, the darkness of the moon rising and setting, and even the endless rain that enveloped the earth and blocked out all the light, but none of those "gloomy" feelings could compare to the "moving, all-encompassing blackness" that he was seeing at this moment.
It was a living dark cloud, a black fog that could kill, a rain that could scrape flesh.
Although the dense forest blocked some of the locusts that came vibrating their wings and mouthparts, this blockage was only a temporary reprieve.
When the number of enemies becomes countless, there is little difference between ten thousand and one hundred thousand.
Gou Fugui could clearly sense the fear and tension of the wolf cubs huddled together with him, while the dozens of adult wolves that had tightly surrounded the cubs in the pack also showed an unprecedented level of solemnity.
Instinct tells the animals that they have encountered the most terrible killer, and that the extinction of their tribe may be imminent; they must fight to the death.
Can--
Instinct did not tell them how to fight in such a near-death situation.
Perhaps because of their enormous size and status as prey in nature, the cattle nearby were the first to be attacked by the locust swarm.
Almost the instant the locusts spotted the cattle, they swarmed towards them and began to frantically bite the giant cattle surrounding the outermost part.
Although each locust's mouthparts could only bite off a small piece of flesh from the giant bull, and such damage would normally be insignificant, when the entire giant bull was covered with countless large locusts, and those countless locusts bit down one bite after another, even a strong bull could not endure the tearing and ripping from the outside in, from the skin to the flesh and then to the bone, and let out a scream that made the listener tremble.
Normally, these giant bulls would swing their tails, jump on the spot, or even roll around on the ground to drive away these damned locusts.
But now they are protecting the young of the herd, they are guarding the future of the species. If they all disperse for their own sake, the calves that are weaker and less resilient than them may not last more than a few minutes before they are reduced to skeletons.
Even though the Bull Demon King, who possessed the core fragment, was leading the strongest bulls in the herd, frantically trying to keep the swarming locusts away with their horns, the screams of the dozen or so bulls on the outermost edge were still deafening.
Wolves weren't much better off than cattle.
Although the wolf pack's fur is thicker and denser than that of the cattle, and the wolf king, second-in-command, and third-in-command squads that hunt locusts are faster, without a sufficiently sturdy shelter, all their efforts are in vain. It's only a matter of time before the entire pack is devoured by locusts or most of them are killed.
At this point, Fugui the husky could no longer see what was happening outside.
On his head was a fleshy wall formed by the bodies of several giant wolves.
He could feel the giant wolves above him trembling in agony, and he could hear their pitiful howls when they could no longer bear it.
The sound and tremor seemed to press into his heart, and at that moment he suddenly felt sorrow for the non-human life in this world.
In this situation, humans can hide in stone houses or even metal houses that locusts can't chew through, while animals and plants that can't get help from outside can only rely on their own bodies to endure it.
That's nature.
This is the true cruelty of nature.
However, humans have never been content with being subservient to nature.
Life, having broken free from the shackles of wisdom, is equally unwilling to submit to "nature"!
The husky, who was being pinned under the giant wolves, suddenly heard the extreme roars of the Bull Demon King and the wolf leader, who could no longer bear it. Then, the herd of bulls and wolves, who had been enduring the husky's pain with their bodies, suddenly began to move.
"Awooo—"
"Moo—"
The two previously hostile groups quickly gathered together. The cubs were still protected at the innermost part of the pack, but the wolf pack and the cattle herd no longer stubbornly refused to move.
First were the remaining fifty-odd bison, some seriously injured and some slightly wounded, who were piled up like small mountains. They all looked at the lead bull, whose eyes were red with anger.
Enraged by being devoured and surrounded by swarms of locusts, the bull raised its front hooves high and then slammed them into the ground with tremendous force!
"Moo!"
Thump!
This was like a signal to start a war. The fifty-odd wild bulls that were looking at the Bull Demon King quickly raised their hooves high and slammed them down!
Thump!
Knock knock!
Thump thump thump!!
Dozens of bison, as large as small hills, trampled the earth wildly, as if they had created a dangerous earthquake with their own strength.
The terrifying, overwhelming force even vibrated the air, slowing down the flight and flapping speed of the locusts that were attacking them.
Fugui, the husky, peeked out from under the protection of the wolves and witnessed an incredibly shocking scene—
Dozens of huge bison gathered together and trampled the earth. In just three times, the solid ground was trampled into countless hooves that were almost half a meter deep.
Then, as the bison trampled, the deep craters from their hooves coalesced, creating a huge, deep crater!
Upon seeing the deep pit, the husky's face showed an expression of disbelief and shock. He roughly understood what the pack of cows and wolves were up to.
The cows have already dug the pits, but what about the wolves? How do they build their fortresses of life?
Soon the wolf king gave the husky the answer to wealth and honor—
The wolf king let out a howl that resounded through the heavens and earth, and then, like a sharp arrow carrying the wind, it slammed its huge and sharp claws into a giant tree that was nothing but a solid trunk.
Then, the tree whose bark had been eaten away by locusts, leaving only a pitted trunk, was knocked down by the wolf king with a single swipe of its paw!
Gou Fugui even felt as if he were seeing an illusion—as if there was a blue wind under the giant wolf's claws.
The wind did not disappear when the wolf king stopped; it continued to sweep through the entire wolf pack and the dense forest.
The injured and uninjured adult wolves all howled and charged towards the tree trunk that was closest to the giant pit.
Their claws and teeth aren't as terrifying as those of the wolf king, who can topple a giant tree with a single swipe. But if once isn't enough, there's a second time; if claws and teeth aren't enough, there's the impact of their bodies. As long as they can carve a gash in the giant tree and combine it with a sufficiently powerful impact, even the towering tree will have no choice but to fall.
The bison smashed a huge pit with their hooves, big enough for all the calves and a few adults to take refuge inside. The wolf pack dragged over a dozen giant tree trunks to cover the pit.
Thus, the "city fortress" that Gou Fugui believed could not possibly exist for non-humans was built in a very short time. It may not be as sophisticated and sturdy as human fortresses, but it was enough to amaze all the humans who witnessed it.
Next, the wolf pack and cattle cubs were driven into the pit, waiting for the wolf king to push the last giant log to completely close the huge pit.
Perhaps locusts could slip through the gaps in the canopy made of giant wood, but when the locusts are not in swarms, even wolf and dragon cubs can easily kill them.
When the third wolf tried to pull the husky Fugui and Xie Tianlang into the pit, the two "little bastards" refused to enter the safe area and instead pushed the third wolf into the pit, indicating that they would teach the locusts a lesson in its place.
Xie Tianlang could not transform back into human form at this time, but his rapidly growing body and speed allowed him to kill many ferocious locusts with a single leap.
Fugui the husky tried to mock the swarming locusts by making them seem less intelligent, but he discovered that these locusts seemed to have no intelligence at all, only knowing how to devour and gnaw at things frantically.
Then, Fugui, the husky who could easily handle a herd of running bulls and was not afraid of giant eagles in the sky, discovered that he had been gnawed bald by the locusts in less than a minute.
It's been gnawed all the way down!
"Aaaaaaahhhhh!! I'm going to wipe out your entire family!!!"
Fugui, a husky who was furious and extremely proud of his fur, completely lost his mind. He roared and jumped up, slapping his right paw against his left front paw. When the light symbolizing transformation lit up, under the expressionless gaze of the swarm of locusts surrounding him, he transformed from a husky with his fur gnawed to shreds into a screeching groundhog with his fur pockmarked and uneven, looking just like a bald patch.
Do you remember the mouse's skills?
A top-tier crowd control support that can confuse and confuse the enemy for three minutes with a single shout.
While the Wolf King and the Bull Demon King were still frantically and ineffectively killing locusts, they suddenly heard a terrifying scream coming from beside the giant pit behind them—
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!"
"Damn these pests, die! Aa ...
Although the sound wasn't particularly loud compared to the already evolved giant animals, and was almost drowned out by the overwhelming flapping of wings and gnawing sounds of the locusts, that one angry scream instantly changed the tense situation—
All the locusts in the vicinity that heard the call froze for nearly half a minute.
Originally, the screeching of the groundhog Fugui could indiscriminately confuse or stun any enemy who heard it for three minutes. However, the power of this skill was greatly weakened in the face of life forms that had grown to enormous size due to evolution. These giant, crazed, bloodthirsty, and flesh-eating locusts were only stunned and confused for thirty seconds.
But for the cows and wolves, that was enough. Although the cows and wolves would freeze for a moment when they heard the screams, at least they wouldn't fall from mid-air because they couldn't move.
The locusts that froze for thirty seconds upon hearing the sound would fall from the sky, and even if they regained their senses and tried to fly again, they were too much slower than the wolf pack and the cattle herd.
All it takes is for wolves and cows to run around, and a single cow hoof can crush dozens of insects to death.
At the same time, because there were enough locusts that heard the sound, they were able to clear a large area when they fell, giving the cattle and wolves a chance to catch their breath.
The Bull Demon King and the Wolf King, who had frantically trampled countless locusts to death, both turned to look at the bald groundhog that had appeared out of nowhere. Both their eyes, the bull's and the wolf's, showed expressions of confusion and bewilderment.
However, now was clearly not the time to worry about such things. After the Wolf King and the Bull Demon King howled at the same time, the remaining dozens of wounded bulls and wolves gathered in front of the safety pit, surrounded the strange groundhog, and began to coordinate with the groundhog's screaming attacks.
Whenever Fugui the groundhog screams in anger, the wolf and the cow will stomp on the locusts that have fallen to the ground after being attacked by the sonic waves.
While the wolf and the cow were killing the locusts, Fugui, the groundhog who had already transformed in public, regained his senses, and was ready to give up, took out a bottle of mineral water from his spatial pocket to moisten his throat, and then took out a megaphone to continue screaming at the sky.
The loudspeaker's scream was so powerful that it stunned the locusts that came to fill in for a full minute, and the area affected by the scream was also larger than before.
Of course, because the groundhog Fugui's scream was an indiscriminate screaming attack, the allies, the bulls and wolves, were also frozen for about half a minute.
Of course, the wolves, with their more agile limbs, still had an advantage over the cows—a cow's hooves could never cover its ears. But when the wolves saw the half-grown wolf cub lie down on the ground and extend its paws to press down on its pointed ears to block the screaming attack, all the wolves learned this method of self-defense.
The cows: ...
I'm so angry.
But the cows were still luckier than the locust army, which was quickly depleted in a short period of time.
The locust army originally relied on a swarming, densely packed attack method, where ants overwhelm and kill elephants. Even if a small number of locusts in an area died, the locusts following behind could quickly fill the gaps and then overwhelm and kill the enemy again.
But now, with the relentless screaming and paralysis attacks, it was clear that the locusts couldn't fill the safe zone guarded by the wolves and cattle. The constant deaths of too many locusts finally made this seemingly emotionless and fearless swarm sense danger, and they instinctively began to fly away.
Thus, amidst this overwhelming fear, this somewhat chaotic and peculiar scene unfolded: the colossal creature capable of devouring everything bypassed a small portion of the dense forest, until finally, the entire colossal creature flew away.
Meanwhile, the already wounded herd of cattle and wolves noticed this change. Finally, a few of the struggling buffalo and giant wolves gasped for breath and collapsed heavily to the ground.
They lay there, unable to move, with only the rise and fall of their chests and bellies proving that they were still barely clinging to life.
Fugui the groundhog was quickly thinking about what kind of medicine or food could help them quickly recover their strength and survive this life-or-death ordeal.
But at that moment his body suddenly stiffened. His heart pounding wildly like a drum and the tingling sensation on his scalp told him that extreme danger was approaching.
However, Fugui the groundhog's fatally timid nature prevents him from reacting and dodging as quickly as Fugui the husky or honey badger when he senses danger. He can only freeze in place, and is even too scared to scream.
He couldn't shout it out, but life could shout it out for him.
"Awoo!!"
"Moo—"
"Danger!!"
The wolf king, the bull, and Xie Langlang moved almost simultaneously, rushing out and pouncing on the groundhog Fugui from the front, left, and right.
Almost simultaneously, they each blocked the giant locusts that came from these three directions, each the size of a person, and which looked like winged "insect people" when they swooped down.
When these three enormous locust leaders, significantly larger than the entire swarm of locusts, appeared, Fugui, the groundhog who had been paralyzed with fear, finally understood why this swarm of locusts was so numerous and so terrifying—
Because each of these three giant locust leaders possessed one or even two fragments of the world's core within their bodies; after all, those crimson, jewel-like fragments embedded in their foreheads and chests were far too conspicuous.
This is a combination of three locust swarms.
These three locust swarms, now united as one, have used their sheer numbers to kill countless animals and plants along their path, ultimately acquiring four fragments of the world's core.
The fragments of the world's core further strengthened their population and made their individual strength even more formidable, to the point that this locust army was virtually invincible along its journey.
The three giant locust leaders were stopped by the Wolf King, the Bull Demon King, and Xie Tianlang, respectively.
However, neither Xie Tianlang nor the leaders of the two tribes were able to kill or even seriously injure the three giant locust leaders in one strike.
Obviously, Xie Tianlang would lead the Wolf King and the Bull Demon King in a three-on-three attack against the locust leaders. However, what made Gou Fugui uneasy was that, although the three locust leaders were not his opponents, he could clearly feel that those three pairs of black compound eyes were always coldly locking onto him.
Groundhog Fugui: "..."
Don't look at me like that!! If you look at me again, I'm going to scream!
The three locust leaders then stopped looking and began to act.
Despite their small size, the three-on-three flying and leaping locusts were completely outmatched.
Even the locust leader, whose forehead and chest were covered with crimson core fragments, suddenly sprayed green venom from its mouthparts during the entanglement. If the wolf king hadn't been fast enough and Xie Tianlang hadn't been quick enough, the green venom would have splashed into their eyes.
Because the Bull Demon King reacted a little slower, a large hole was corroded under his left eyelid.
At this moment, Fugui the groundhog had a slight thought, considering how to take advantage of the situation and shout at the three "locust men" to influence the battle. But at this moment, his heart skipped a beat again. When he subconsciously looked up, a huge dark brown shadow flashed past his eyes.
In that instant, Xie Tianlang discovered the danger hidden behind the three locust leaders and only had time to shout out.
He wanted to save the dazed groundhog Fugui even at the cost of serious injury, but before he could act, his heart-shaped ring shouted angrily:
"I don't need your help! You keep fighting!!"
"Damn it, you dare to mess with me like that! Do you really think I'm a weakling that you can just eat at will?!"
Amidst the furious shouts that went beyond rage, the timid, screaming groundhog's body rapidly elongated and changed shape, finally settling on an image of a stunningly beautiful young man draped in a bed sheet with long, rainbow-colored hair.
The young man knocked away the last dark brown locust female leader, whose forehead and chest had core fragments, with a single punch. The power of that punch made the many wolves and cows behind him widen their eyes and stretch their necks backward.
The female insect leader, who had been knocked away by him, hovered in the air, flapping her wings and letting out a confused and angry hiss at the young man.
"hiss--"
The young man, extremely angry, gave the female insect leader the middle finger: "Damn it, come and fight me head-on!!"
I'll beat you to a pulp, you insectoid monster, or I'll change my surname to yours!
The long-haired youth's domineering and arrogant manner was extremely tough, and he also looked very much like a victorious king.
only……
He would have been even more heroic and perfect if the sheet draped over his shoulders hadn't slowly fallen off at that moment, and if his iridescent hair hadn't been unkempt and patchy like it had been eaten by locusts, or even if there were small bald patches in some hidden places.
Xie Langlang's paw slipped: "Yuanyuan!! Hurry up and put the sheet back on!!!"
There are scalpers and perverts all around you staring at you!
Scalpers and perverts: WOW~
Although I don't know why it suddenly turned into a hateful human, it's still... kind of pretty.
hey-hey.
