Zhou Ruona immediately panicked.
She immediately explained, "This disaster was bound to happen; it has nothing to do with us. How could we have caused it?"
Yan Zi blinked, then pointed the knife at the person opposite her.
"Maybe it was you who touched these crystals that caused these insects to emerge uncontrollably."
The group of people around looked at each other, finding it difficult to refute this statement.
However, that's what they think too. Otherwise, why wouldn't the insect plague spread to other areas? Why did it just keep gushing out here like crazy, as if a hole had been opened up here?
Zhou Ruona suddenly realized this possibility and her face turned pale.
Seeing that her face had turned somewhat pale, Yan Zi had a rough idea of what was going on and asked directly, "Have you thought of something?"
Zhou Ruona gritted her teeth.
She scratched her hair in frustration, then voiced the possibilities she had just imagined.
"The second major disaster is definitely related to the system, but we may also have been affected. For example, the source of these insects may very well be us."
Yan Zi immediately seized on the key point: "Did you think of something?"
Zhou Ruona nodded.
He looked at the group of people behind him, among whom stood two men who looked very similar and appeared to be twins.
Yan Zi raised an eyebrow in confusion, not understanding what this meant.
The twins stepped forward together and then simultaneously pulled out their own panels.
Yan Zi: "???"
Seeing her wary look, Aurora immediately explained, "These are the twins in our team. Their skill is to summon creatures that disrupt the battlefield."
Summon creatures that disrupt the battlefield?
Yan Zi thought to herself, "He actually has such a special ability."
As soon as their character panels appeared, Yan Zi's eyes widened. [SS-Rank Talent: Summoning Creatures; Skill Description: Able to summon magical creatures from another world (unknown)]
Upon seeing the two panels, Yan Zi gasped in shock: "You guys are really bold, summoning right here. Aren't you afraid that these beasts will combine and wipe you out?"
The twins immediately explained, "We'll gather enough people to prevent any accidents. This time, we summoned an insect, but its level isn't higher than ours, and we killed it quickly."
"The reason we chose to summon these strange beasts from the chaotic battlefield to hunt them is to improve our talents and individual strength. Right now, most of the easy monsters are monopolized by the guilds, leaving us with nowhere to go..."
Yan Zi sighed.
Seeing that the crowd's morale had suddenly become somewhat low, she immediately clapped her hands:
"Take me to the source first, I want to see what's going on there!"
Without hesitation, the twins led them directly to the place where they were summoning the insects. As soon as they returned to that place, the twins' expressions darkened.
Yan Zi felt a sense of foreboding.
She instinctively took a few steps back, and the twins did the same.
Yan Zi: "Something doesn't feel right here. Are you sure we're here?"
The twins nodded immediately.
"We can sense that there seem to be many of those insects' kind here!"
Yan Zi: "Are you sure?"
Upon hearing this, the twins nodded immediately.
"That's the feeling, but we didn't summon that many bugs, we only summoned one..."
Yan Zi was somewhat skeptical, but the people standing next to her quickly explained, "What those two said is true, and their summoning power isn't that strong. They simply don't have the ability to summon a large number of creatures at once, otherwise our level progression wouldn't be so slow."
If it's really as he says, then why is the atmosphere here so chaotic?
It resembles a giant nest.
Yan Zi took a deep breath.
He took the air purifier out of his backpack and placed it on the ground. As soon as the air purifier hit the ground, it instantly displayed the surrounding data.
The twins looked surprised.
Zhou Ruona also looked anxious and uneasy, because just now, she had also sensed that something that was threatening her life was spreading everywhere.
This force came very suddenly, in bursts, somewhat like the attack pattern of that insect king.
Zhou Ruona hesitated for only three seconds, just as she was about to speak, when a powerful pressure suddenly enveloped her heart, tightly locking her vocal cords and preventing her from making a sound.
She was standing at the back, so no one knew about her change; everyone just peeked out to observe what was in front of them.
Zhou Ruona was filled with fear. It was that insect king. How come he wasn't dead?
She forced herself to calm down, but she was locked in place by that mental force and couldn't move at all.
She could only watch helplessly as she gradually retreated from the crowd, slowly wearing herself down until she finally emerged from the cave.
Yan Zi was at the front of the line, trying to adjust the air purifier. The air purifier took effect as soon as it hit the ground. The uncomfortable atmosphere around her gradually returned to normal, and the entire space returned to normal breathing.
She glanced around warily, the sudden oppressive feeling she had just experienced seemed quite unusual.
With the help of the purifier, the twins slowly located the position and then led Yan Zi to the corpse of the insect king they had killed.
Yan Zi immediately spotted the corpse, which emitted a strong stench that seemed to deter them from getting close, as if approaching it would taint them with its stench and leave them unable to escape.
Just as the twins were about to say not to get too close, Yan Zi stepped forward without hesitation and let her contracted beast check the condition of that thing.
The sharp thorns of the gourd pierced its body directly. After a puff of smoke dissipated, the spot was empty, not even a speck of dust had fallen.
The onlookers were all horrified, their faces filled with incomprehension.
They all turned their attention to the two twins standing in the center of the crowd.
The twins were also bewildered; they couldn't understand why the corpse had vanished without a trace.
Yan Zi directly questioned their client, Zhou Ruona.
She called out a few times, but no one responded. She suddenly turned around and searched the crowd, but still couldn't find anyone.
"Oh no, is that guy in trouble?"
The people surrounding them also panicked. Had their leader abandoned them?
In an instant, the surroundings became noisy.
Yan Zi narrowed her eyes in annoyance and interrupted directly.
"Does anyone have any of her frequently used items that I can use to pinpoint her location?"
