trap
In order to capture the uninvited Insect King, Yu Sheng ordered the elite troops to enter the Mousse Forest. He originally wanted to leave fifty people as bodyguards for Caesar, but Caesar only kept five.
"The underground of Mousse Forest may already be swarming with mutant insects," Caesar said gloomily. "Bringing more people with you is a guarantee of your life. The Hongmen Feast isn't that easy to pull off. Do you think you're Liu Bang?"
"Pfft..." Yu Sheng listened carefully to the first part, but burst out laughing after hearing the second part. "Who is Liu Bang?"
Caesar tilted his head and frowned, "Isn't it Liu Bang? This is an allusion to your hometown."
"My name is Liu Bang, not Liu Bang!" Yu Sheng corrected with a smile, his nervousness about attending the Hongmen Banquet dissipating a lot. "Okay, I'll listen to you, but isn't five too few..."
"I'm here." Moss finally had the chance to emphasize his presence. He stepped forward and raised his hand to put it on Caesar's shoulder, but stopped a second before the touch. "Don't worry, I won't let Caesar get hurt."
Caesar glanced at Moss and didn't respond.
Yu Sheng selected five of his most powerful elite soldiers to protect Xi Ze.
At 7 p.m., Yu Sheng arrived at the gate of Mousse Forest on time. Duke Nanso was already waiting there.
Seeing Yu Sheng coming, he smiled like a gentleman, "General Yu Sheng, welcome to visit my guard training. I hope you can give me some advice after watching it. This is my guard captain." He introduced to Yu Sheng a man with muscles as developed as a hill.
The captain of the guard saluted Yu Sheng respectfully and said, "Your Excellency, General, Your Excellency, Duke, the training will begin soon. Would you please follow me to the training grounds now?"
"Let's go."
The captain of the guard invited Nan Suo and Yu Sheng to board a small flying car and drove all the way to the depths of the forest, from the relatively bustling Eighth and Seventh Surroundings to the sparsely populated Fourth and Third Surroundings, without stopping.
"The Duke has chosen a very special place for his guards." Yu Sheng looked at Nan Suo with a half-smile. "Could it be that training would be more effective if they were all together?"
Nan Suo said calmly, "It's quiet and the area is concentrated. My guards can stay undisturbed."
"The Duke is really attentive." Yu Sheng replied lightly, turned his head to look out the car window, and thought to himself, this is bullshit, I can see insect legs crawling everywhere outside!
"Ah!" The captain of the guard suddenly shouted, and the car braked suddenly with a sharp sound. Yu Sheng pretended to be panicked and grabbed the car door tightly, watching Nan Suo with the corner of his eyes. He saw Nan Suo shouting "What's going on" to the captain of the guard, then opened the car door and fell out of the car.
The captain of the guard grabbed Yu Sheng's legs. Yu Sheng, who was on guard, activated the protective shield and kicked the captain of the guard back.
Yu Sheng made a prompt decision and followed Nan Suo out of the car, rolling on the ground a few times to steady himself. However, the captain of the guard crashed into a pile of insects with his car. With a loud bang, the captain of the guard's legs were stuck on the driver's seat and blood was flowing. The insects who smelled the blood swarmed over him, and soon the captain of the guard was eaten to death with screams.
Yu Shengxin, who saw everything, felt even colder. He could even use the captain of the guard he promoted. This Nan Suo was really a ruthless person.
"Zerg! Why are there Zerg here?!" Nan Suo was horrified and retreated repeatedly, "General Yu Sheng, let's run away!"
"There's no one here, so how can you continue acting?" Yu Sheng said coldly, "You and your pet Lyle are a perfect match. Your acting is superb. It would be a shame if you didn't win the Interstellar Best Actor Award."
The look of shock on Nan Suo's face froze for a moment before he regained his composure, though the aftertaste of the previous second still lingered, a kind of forced smile. "General Yu Sheng is truly impatient."
"I'm not impatient." Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes. "But the Insect Emperor invited me all the way here, and then he's hiding. Isn't that unreasonable?"
"His Majesty the Insect King is busy." Nan Suo gave a sly smile, "Let his people entertain the general!" After saying that, Nan Suo's figure flashed and he rushed into the jungle. Yu Sheng's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but Nan Suo's figure had disappeared from his sight. As soon as Nan Suo left, the rustling sounds and flapping wings of the insect race suddenly rang out, surrounding Yu Sheng from all directions.
"Bang!" Yu Sheng fired a signal flare, and the fiery red signal flare suddenly lit up. The elite army that received the signal rushed out from behind the hidden trees and fought with the ferocious mutant insects.
The Insect King wasn't there? Did he go through all this trouble just to kill me? Impossible. My flesh and blood were an excellent tonic for him. How could he possibly give myself to these mutant insects?
Unless there's some other conspiracy...
Yu Sheng frowned and without hesitation, he summoned the silver dragon directly, killing the mutant insects and cutting down trees in an attempt to force Olewell out.
——Research Institute——
The five elite soldiers and Moss lined up in a row, and when they saw Caesar coming out of the research institute, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Moss stepped forward and grabbed Caesar's wrist as usual, "Go back and rest."
"How is Yu Sheng?" Xi Ze asked.
"I think a fight has broken out." Moss replied as he walked. "Don't worry, the elite army's combat power is no joke. Even if Yu Sheng can't capture the Insect King, he will definitely return intact."
"Yeah." Caesar responded and said nothing more.
Five elite soldiers, two on each side and one at the back, protected Caesar well. The location of the research institute was relatively remote. When passing by a remote construction room, Moss's steps suddenly paused. The next moment, he suddenly pressed Caesar into his arms, took out the photon gun from his waist with his right hand, and fired several shots into the room.
At the same time, several Zergs rushed out of the small house and were knocked down by Moss's shots. The five elite soldiers also drew their weapons and aimed at the small house.
A person slowly walked out of the shadows.
Moss's fingers clenched the gun, and he felt something was wrong.
"My delicacy, why are you surrounded by so many stinking humans?" A pair of strange and unique eyes met Caesar's. It was none other than the Insect King Oleville. "Come, come to me."
Why is the Insect King here?!
Caesar narrowed his eyes; they had fallen into his trap.
From the very beginning, the Insect King's target was not Yu Sheng, but Xize.
"You're just a bug, yet you're talking a lot of nonsense." Moss sneered disdainfully, "Come over here if you're brave enough. Are these the only mutant bugs you have?"
Olewell was enraged, his body suddenly stretched into a twisted length, and then flew straight towards Caesar. Five elite soldiers fired at the same time, but Olewell's body deformed instantly, avoiding all the bullets. One claw pierced through the shoulder of an elite soldier. The elite soldier groaned, enduring the severe pain, and grabbed Olewell's arm tightly with both hands, trying to buy time for the others.
Olewell grinned at the elite soldier, his mouth almost reaching his ears, a terrifying sight. The next moment, the elite soldier wailed and abruptly released his grip on Olewell's arm. Looking down, he saw that Olewell's "human" arm had transformed into a barbed insect leg, piercing the elite soldier's hand to a bloody mess.
"Don't fight hard, use the mecha!" Moss shouted, quickly summoned the mecha, and took Caesar into the cabin.
The remaining four elite soldiers also summoned their mechas and rushed forward together, attacking from all sides and cooperating closely to fight for their lives with Olewell. For a moment, Olewell was unable to break through the defense line and his movements were restricted.
Moss integrated his mental power into the control of the mecha and began to aim at Olewell. However, their fighting was too intense, and Olewell intentionally blocked the four elite soldiers in his weak spots, so he was reluctant to pull the trigger.
Amidst the tussle, a voice broke the silence, "Master, why did you bring Lyle here?"
Everyone paused for a moment, and with a "bang", Moss pulled the trigger and hit Olewell in the chest.
Oleville pressed his chest with his hands, blood oozing out from between his fingers. His face twisted, and he yelled at Nan Suo over there, "Get over here!"
Nan Suo tightened his grip on Lyle's hand and took a half step back in fear. He tilted his head to look at Lyle, who was trying to shrink behind him in panic, and made up his mind, "Baby, follow your master."
Lyle was stunned for a moment. He looked at his master, then turned back to look at the ferocious Olewell who was fighting with the elite soldiers not far away. His eyes were covered with mist. He nodded blankly, then shook his head desperately, "Master, Lyle won't go. Lyle is afraid..."
"Listen to the master, it'll only hurt for a moment." Nan Suo gripped Lyle's wrist tightly. "Master swears to heal you immediately in the treatment chamber. Don't you want to leave this damn place and continue living a life of wealth and luxury with the master?"
Lyle nodded with tears in his eyes and snuggled into Nan Suo's arms. "Master said it will only hurt for a little while. Lyle will listen to you."
"Be good." Nan Suo felt relieved and picked up Lyle horizontally. Lyle's arms were tightly wrapped around Nan Suo's neck. The master and pet slowly walked between the fighting people. Olewell was already at a disadvantage. The wound was getting bigger and bigger with his movements, and blood was pouring out continuously.
As Nan Suo took a step forward, Olewell's arm suddenly deformed and grabbed Lyle's shoulder. Lyle screamed and was dragged in front of Olewell. He stared at Olewell with wide eyes, his shoulder pierced by the barb, and red blood stained Olewell's claws.
"Master..." Lyle opened his mouth and subconsciously called for help from Nan Suo, but before he finished shouting the word "Master", his voice stopped abruptly.
Oleville bit off Lyle's neck.
After the dead silence, a roar of collapse broke out in the air, "You killed him! Why did you kill Lyle? Shameless! You clearly promised me that you would only take a bite of Lyle's flesh and blood each time! You clearly promised me that you would let me leave Mantu Star safely! I shouldn't have believed you from the beginning!" Nan Suo clenched his fists and shouted hysterically.
Olewell's face was covered in red blood, his body swelled up, and the wound on his chest healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. His eyes were bloodshot, and he exuded a terrifying aura from head to toe.
"You stinking human, still feigning innocence at a time like this." He gnawed at Lyle's body, chewing and swallowing even the bones. The scene was bloody. "Does it make sense to pretend to care for your little pet at this time? If you had to choose again, would you, as a good owner, give up your own interests to protect your pet?"
Oleville twisted his neck in disdain and said with a sinister grin, "Humans are the species that should least exist in the interstellar space."
At the moment of Lyle's death, Caesar was covered by Moss's eyes.
Moss ignored Caesar's struggles and buried Caesar in his arms. He suppressed the urge to vomit and said to Caesar, "Stay close to me and don't move."
We can’t wait any longer!
Moss knew that after eating Lyle, Orville was no match for them. However, Yu Sheng was trapped in the Moose Forest and couldn't get here anytime soon. This place was too remote, and the military academy patrols would only come once in a while. The only way out was to run! If they ran to a crowded place, members of the combat team would naturally know about it and come to their aid!
Caesar only felt darkness in front of his eyes. Moss's palm was very warm and a little sticky, which was Moss's sweat.
Just as Moss was about to drive the mecha to escape at full speed, Olewell, who had almost eaten up all of Lyle's entrails, grew larger and flashed over at a terrifying speed. One of his insect legs was raised high and stabbed fiercely at the position of the mecha cabin. The originally extremely strong mecha was actually penetrated and stabbed towards Caesar.
Moss's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously rushed over to push Caesar away. In an instant, the insect's legs pierced Moss's chest.
Moss opened his eyes wide, his expression even more ferocious than Olewell's. He took out his photon knife, used all his mental strength, and cut off Olewell's insect legs.
"Hiss—" Olewell groaned. Regenerating a broken leg was definitely not as easy as healing a wound. Fortunately, after he ate Lyle, his blood boiled, and strength continuously flowed into every cell and tissue in his body, allowing him to evolve and become stronger in pain.
Oleville's entire body was covered in blood, a mixture of blue and red, and the smell of blood filled the air. He grinned again and said to Moss, "Take care of this little pet in your arms. Don't worry, I won't waste it and eat it all in one gulp. I'll only take a little at a time and savor it slowly."
Caesar used all his strength to support Moss. He had experienced countless despairs in his life, and at this moment he was really panicked.
He looked at Oleville coldly and said, "Get away from me, bug."
Obviously, there was no benefit in angering Olewell, but for some reason, Caesar could not suppress his anger. His mental power surged out, but it was too thin and too sparse, and it all melted as soon as it touched Olewell.
Caesar's face was pale, but he held his head high like a proud swan.
"Tsk, what an interesting human being. It must be very interesting to keep him as a food reserve." Olewell narrowed his eyes and didn't waste any more time. He pinched Caesar's shoulders and wanted to throw Caesar onto his back and take him away.
"Bang--"
Gunfire rang out, and Olewell's arm was hit. Caesar fell to the ground, but he reacted extremely quickly, picked up the dying Moss, and fled at full speed. Olewell was about to catch up when his body was smashed apart by the silver dragon. The red silver dragon raised its head high, a ball of fire condensing in its mouth, aiming at Olewell. At the same time, the elite troops surrounded the place.
Oleville snorted, glanced at Caesar regretfully, then looked at the mecha cabin in the center of the Silver Dragon, with a strange obsession on his face.
The next moment, a fireball was launched from the silver dragon's mouth and exploded in the air. The flames illuminated the entire sky and shook the entire Muse Military Academy.
The smoke and dust cleared, and the location of the explosion was empty.
