ground.

Some time ago.

The giant arm hid in the shadows, observing the circular plaza.

He saw Lu Ban approach the enemy's leader, talk to him for a few words, and suddenly took out a knife.

"Is he going to assassinate the enemy head-on?"

The giant was amazed at Lu Ban's courage.

"The other party looks like the leader of a big force. He must be very powerful. They are in great danger!"

Yan Xin sighed.

"Didn't he say he was going to negotiate?"

Only the old dreams reminded them of what Lu Ban had said to them before.

"Who negotiates with a knife... Ouch, why did he stab himself?"

The giant wrist asked in a low voice of surprise.

"It seemed fine. They both shook hands."

Yanxin took a look.

"How come they are eating? I want to eat too..."

"After finishing this order, we'll go back and have something delicious to eat."

"Do you think they will just ignore us?"

"Don't talk nonsense. We are together. They won't sell us out. Besides, if they really sold us out, they would have come to arrest us a long time ago."

"Oh, that's true."

"They went down."

"It's so quiet, there are not many people in the square."

"Perhaps the main wilderness hunters have gone underground."

"We have to work hard too."

"Wait, did you hear anything?"

Jiu Meng, who had been paying attention to the area behind the three people, suddenly spoke.

The three of them fell silent, only to hear some kind of slight buzzing sound in the dark and silent ruins.

The sound was like something sharp cutting through the sky and rushing forward.

Moreover, these sounds are continuous and do not seem to be emitted by a single object.

“Could it be…”

Before Giant Wrist could come to his senses, he saw dense raindrops falling from the sky.

No, those were not raindrops, but black arrows.

Or rather, it's something like a bone spur.

The sound of breaking through the air came from them.

In an instant, these bone spurs passed over the three people hiding in the shadows and fell directly onto the circular square.

Without any room for struggle or resistance, the wilderness hunters in the square became sieves.

Most of them were nailed to the ground, their heads, bodies, and limbs were pierced, and their faces did not even show shock.

Blood was flowing on the surface, and the crimson liquid seeped into the mineral layer rock, and the corpse was on it.

Rustle, rustle——

Giant Arm heard some hurried sounds. He looked back and saw countless creatures wriggling in the darkness.

"Is it the bugs in the ruins?"

He reacted immediately.

Previous explorations revealed that there were some bugs lurking here, but they did not approach them, so Giant Arm did not pay attention. Now think about it, there must be no such a few bugs in such a ruin. Such a complex terrain area would most likely become a nest of bugs. Now is the time for those bugs to return to their nests.

"We can't stay here anymore."

Yanxin stood up.

They saw that in the camp where another group of wilderness hunters were stationed, there seemed to be shadows swaying in the firelight.

Accompanied by a panicked noise, screams followed.

The three of them didn't care about each other's follow-up and packed up their things to go to the camel's location. However, when they came under the building, they saw a black swarm of insects swarming up.

Those insects were huge, half a person's height, with black bodies covered with thorns. Their huge pincers and mouthparts shone sharply under the starry sky. They were like a tide, destroying everything wherever they went.

The giant arm found that their way out had been blocked, and the only way left was towards the square.

"These bugs are surrounding us from the outside."

Jiu Meng said, then pointed to the square in the center of the city.

"Go that way. We'll go into the tunnel. We should be able to hide for a while."

They set off immediately, running towards the square as fast as they could.

When they arrived at the square, they passed by those hideous corpses and saw people fleeing in another direction.

The two teams were stunned for a moment, then ran towards the huge hole in the center of the square at the same time.

Behind him, the endless swarm of insects actually formed a wave several meters high. Anyone who was swept into it would be immediately shattered into pieces and become food for these insects.

The few of them didn't communicate much. Everyone knew that in the wilderness, in this situation, humans can only choose to cooperate. Infighting will only lead to faster death.

The giant wrist was the last one to enter the cave. His hands quickly swelled up, and he grabbed a stone and smashed it hard into the gap in the cave.

Boom——

After a roar, the world became quiet.

The few people who survived the disaster looked at each other, and finally, it was Jiu Meng who raised the question.

"Should we find a way out?"

He pointed to the only door that had been blown open.

…

"Should we clean up down here first?"

Lu Ban felt that it would be too brutal to just go down like this. Since someone like Xia who holds a powerful weapon is here, why not clean up the area with three rounds and grind these monsters to ashes first?

"really."

Xia nodded slightly.

"You guys step back a little."

She asked the others to step back, then raised her right hand again.

"You're going to cast that spell one by one to blow them all up?"

Lu Ban thought about it and realized that Xia’s spell speed was quite slow. If she continued to cast spells like this, it might take at least until the day after tomorrow.

"How could it be left until the day after tomorrow? It can be solved at noon tomorrow at the latest."

Xia denied Lu Ban's statement.

"But that's only the amount for one time. Don't you plow the land a few more times? How can one time be enough?"

Lu Ban said as a matter of course.

"You can use this spell infinitely, and it won't be depleted, so of course I'll use the most stable method!"

"One of you and I must have some misunderstanding of stability."

Xia said to Lu Ban seriously.

"You two stop arguing, let me do it."

Wumian said this and then came to the cave entrance. The crystals on his face began to spread. Originally only half of his face, it soon covered his neck, chest, and shoulders.

At the same time, Lu Ban felt that the temperature around him had dropped a lot.

He saw that starting from the place where the faceless hand touched, white frost solidified and spread, attacking the insect eggs at the bottom of the cave.

"Is it the ability to control temperature?"

Based on Lu Ban's knowledge of science fiction movies, this ability is extremely abnormal. For example, a man whose entire body can turn into ice can freeze time. However, Lu Ban is not sure about the upper and lower limits of Wasteland's ability, which is caused by disease.

Soon, the nest filled with insect eggs turned into a world of ice, and even the air exhaled by the people above them was covered with white mist.

"With your ability, you can transform this desert."

Lu Ban said this earnestly.

"Don't talk too much, it can only last for a while, let's go."

Wumian gave Lu Ban a white look and jumped down the pit.
