Chapter 144: Insect Swarm Crisis
“Help!”
Those people stumbled outside, but behind them was a dense swarm of insects pouring out of the cave.
Fortunately, the hole was only as thick as an arm, so the swarm of insects appeared relatively slowly, but even though the insects had already appeared, they were already very scary.
Everyone was just about to take a break when they heard the loud shouts of these people. They turned around and saw a dense swarm of insects, and were immediately frightened.
"not good!"
“Run!”
Seeing more and more insects appearing and rushing towards them, everyone's faces suddenly changed with fear.
They didn't care about anything else and turned around and ran out of the cave.
"Get out of the way! Don't block the road!"
"Why? I'll go out first!"
“Get out of the way!”
For a moment, the entire cave was in chaos, and hundreds of people ran out of the cave. No matter how big the cave entrance was, it would be blocked by so many people rushing in at once.
However, after these people blocked the entrance of the cave, they did not retreat, nor did they let others leave. Instead, they continued to squeeze out desperately, hoping to use this method to get out.
"Stop squeezing, it hurts!"
"Help!"
“Let me out!”
Not only the prisoners, but also the yamen runners were frightened when they saw the swarm of insects emerging, and turned around and ran outside.
Some yamen runners were more responsible and did not forget the carriage when they escaped. They ran over to sign the horse.
Lu Lu!
As a result, the swarm of insects actually rushed towards the carriage, scaring the horse so much that it raised its head and whistled, screamed like crazy, and ran around.
But there was nowhere to run in the cave. The horse ran around and wanted to stop, but the inertia of the carriage behind it caused the horse to crash into the wall, and the unfortunate horse fell down.
Moreover, in an instant, the horse and the cart were overwhelmed by the swarm of insects and could no longer be seen.
"hiss!"
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but gasp, and felt even more fearful and desperate in their hearts.
They rushed outside even more frantically. Although they were blocked in front, they pushed forward desperately, trying to squeeze out a way out.
"Girl, sir, leave now!"
The Chen family's servants and guards looked very solemn as they escorted them outside.
"No, we can't get out like this!"
Chen Xue's face darkened. The entrance to the cave had long been blocked by the crowd. No one could get out at all. They would all be swallowed by the swarm of insects.
More importantly, even if they are not devoured by the swarm of insects, they will be trampled to death.
"Be quiet!"
Chen Xue took out the loudspeaker and shouted to everyone.
But Lord Chen jumped off the carriage and asked Chen Xue to give him a few torches. After lighting them, he rushed towards the swarm of insects without even looking back.
"Xiaoxue, take your mother away!"
"father!"
Chen Xue didn't expect her father to be so resolute. Her face changed immediately. She wanted to rush over and put her father into the space, but was stopped by her mother.
Her mother's face was also full of worry, but she wiped away her tears and said to Chen Xue, "Xiaoxue, continue to do what you want to do. Don't let this distract you."
Chen Xue was anxious and continued to shout through the megaphone, "Everyone calm down, or I'll get angry."
When the noisy crowd heard Chen Xue's voice, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on them, and they all sobered up a lot.
"Why are you all so crowded? Leave one by one or no one will be able to leave."
Chen Xue yelled angrily, "Leave the bugs to us. If you want to leave, just follow my instructions."
Everyone thought of the scene where Chen Xue got so angry that the sun disappeared, so they dared not disobey. Although they were afraid of being the last one to die, they were suddenly not afraid when they heard that Chen Xue would deal with the insect swarm.
Sure enough, leaving in an orderly manner is the fastest way to leave.
There were fewer and fewer people in the cave, and Chen Xue, seeing this, got off the carriage and said to the guards beside her, "Escort my mother away!"
"Xiaoxue, you..."
"Mom, I have a plan!" Chen Xue interrupted her mother, "If I don't go, Dad will be in danger."
Mother Chen was silent, but Xiaodie beside her also ran off the carriage and came to Chen Xue.
"What are you doing here? Leave now!"
Seeing this, Chen Xue immediately frowned and started scolding.
But Xiaodie was not afraid. "Miss, I am your maid. Although I know I can't help you much, I can help you resist when you are in danger."
"As long as I have this life, the girl will have an extra life!"
Xiaodie had a determined look on her face and followed Chen Xue closely.
Chen Xue was helpless. Although she was touched, she had no time to say anything else. She turned around and ran towards her father.
She was worried about her father's safety. She had seen with her own eyes how terrifying the swarm of insects was.
Each swarm of insects is as big as a fist and has a pair of huge pincers. They are pitch black and look very scary.
She had not run far when she saw her father, Xu Tian and others waving torches to drive away the swarm of insects.
She was relieved to see that her father was okay.
However, when she turned around, she saw the fragments of a carriage in front of the stone wall next to her. It was obviously the unlucky horse from before...
horse
Chen Xue was stunned!
The horse was overwhelmed by the swarm of insects but was not eaten. Instead, all the food in the carriage was eaten up.
“These worms don’t eat flesh and blood.”
She frowned and quickly summoned Xiaoqing over. However, as soon as Xiaoqing appeared, Chen Xue felt its desire.
Obviously, Xiaoqing seemed to be very eager for this kind of insect and seemed to think it was very delicious.
Chen Xue did not stop her.
Xiaoqing let out a long howl, and the swarms of insects suddenly dispersed, obviously very afraid of Xiaoqing's cry.
Snap!
Xiaoqing was very fast. He flew through the swarm of insects, grabbed several insects, and ate them all at once.
The swarm of insects seemed to have encountered their natural enemies. They scattered and fled in all directions, and were no longer as aggressive as before.
"Girl, be careful!"
Seeing a lone insect rushing towards Chen Xue, Xiaodie immediately rushed to Chen Xue and opened her arms to protect her.
Chen Xue was deeply moved. She took out a sleeve arrow and shot it at the insects. If it was against a swarm of insects, the sleeve arrow would be useless, but it would be useful against a single one.
"puff!"
Chen Xue killed the bug with one arrow and walked over curiously. It was the first time she had seen this kind of bug.
But think about it, this is a different world, and we can’t use the concepts of our previous life.
Just as she walked over, she was suddenly stunned, then showed a look of joy and reached out to touch the insect.
"Contribution value +100!"
Chen Xue was not too surprised that contribution points could be added. After all, things that had not been included in the system had contribution points.
It’s just that the contribution value of the first inclusion is high, while the contribution value of the second inclusion is generally only 1 point.
However, after Chen Xue killed several bugs that came running over, she suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a bug in the system.
No matter how many bugs she recovers, her contribution value will increase by 100 points.
Moreover, she also tried to recycle the living ones, and was able to gain 100 contribution points.
Not only that, these insects do not attack people and seem to have no interest in humans.
This discovery made Chen Xue's eyes light up. These hideous insects suddenly became cute.
She pulled out a fishing net and rushed towards the swarm.
This scene shocked Lord Chen, Xu Tian and others.
