Chapter 12: Loot
“Ahhhhhhhhh—”
An Lang closed his eyes. The light wall recognized the pass on his body and suddenly opened a small hole to swallow him in.
However, the branches were far less obedient than the bare wall. As he fell, they crackled and whipped him, and he quickly protected his eyes.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Can you hear me?" Rayleigh's words came through the headset.
"I heard it! Drive a hundred meters north!" An Lang answered quickly. He was holding a telescopic button in his hand. He squinted his eyes and took a look. There was still some room for the rope to be extended.
That should be enough!
After receiving the order, Rayleigh continued to drive north.
It was already dark outside, but inside the "Boundless" area with the lights on, it was as bright as day.
After An Lang, who was suspended in the air, finally adapted to the light, he couldn't help but gasp, because the star beast was so huge.
Just now, when he was falling, he had to close his eyes because of the strong wind, and only looked twice occasionally. However, the altitude was still high at that time, and the trees on this side were particularly huge. With the wrong reference, he did not feel how terrifying this star beast was.
Now that it has fallen, I realize that this beetle is as heavy as a giant pickup truck. Its front claws alone are more than five meters long. If you are pinched by it, you will be cut in half!
This beetle broke many trees of this generation, and it didn't take Anlang long to find the female beetle hiding under the leaves.
"Go northwest!" An Lang grabbed the telescopic button with one hand and reached down with the other to hold the female insect's hand. "Here! Give me your hand!"
As the hovercraft drove, he moved forward quickly, but the rope was swaying in the wind and he couldn't control the direction well.
However, the female insect did not run towards him. When it saw him falling from the sky, there was a moment of shock on its blood-stained face, but it quickly disappeared.
He rolled on the ground and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
An Lang didn't understand what was going on, but he felt the hairs on his back stand on end. He suddenly pressed the retract button and retracted his feet at the same time. He saw the huge beetle brush past his feet and crash into the tree in front of him, breaking it.
Oh my god!!!
Anlang almost screamed.
However, the beetle quickly changed direction. It was not accurate to call it a beetle. In fact, it looked different from any other beetle on Earth. An Lang looked at it vigilantly, and saw its green eyes on the synapses shaking rapidly, and then suddenly locked onto him.
What Zhong Tao once said suddenly flashed through his mind.
"The pheromones emitted by male insects are not only fatally attractive to female insects, but also to star beasts. Their pheromones can also awaken the spiritual sea of star beasts, giving them wisdom."
Oh my god, Anlang’s heart was pounding. In the eyes of that star beast, was he a supply package dropped from the sky? ! !
Damn!!!
Look at the star beast's eyes. It clearly wants to lick my ass!
"Your Highness? What's wrong?" Rayleigh's voice sounded in his ears.
An Lang wiped his face with his hand and said, "Nothing, just drive west!"
He yelled at the red-eyed female insect on the ground, "Run west, I'll pick you up there!"
The red-eyed female insect really ran westward.
When An Lang came down just now, he was worried whether the female insect would still believe what he said. After all, the original body was the culprit who caused him to fall into the Infinite Zone.
Fortunately, when life and death were at stake, Lan Xiu knew what was more important.
An Lang let go of all the ropes and bent down to reach the female insect's outstretched left hand.
Thirty meters.
Twenty meters.
Ten meters.
Almost there!
However, the telescopic button made a clicking sound.
It’s finally here!
Not long enough!
That was enough just now!
An Lang immediately understood that because the light wall was curved, the partition they were in was higher towards the southwest and lower towards the northeast! Rayleigh couldn't fly completely close to the light wall; he had to leave some distance between them. The originally perfect length was no longer enough.
"There is not enough rope, we have to run to the northeast!" An Lang shouted loudly, but the beetle was guarding there, its big claws fluttering, making a buzzing sound, and supporting its upper body. When An Lang looked over, he could even see the gastropods moving constantly on its abdomen.
It's so terrifying that it makes people feel sick to their stomachs.
"I'll climb the tree!" replied the female insect below.
The trees here are very tall, and An Lang is hanging in the middle of the tree at this moment. If this female insect can climb up, then they still have a chance!
However, Lan Xiu's strength was exhausted. After he struggled to climb a few meters, his left hand could no longer support his body. He slid down half a step. An Lang took a breath and saw him embed his broken right hand into the branches to stabilize his body.
His right hand was bent so badly that An Lang felt the pain just watching from above.
But the Star Beast did not give them time to breathe. It rushed over, no longer choosing a direction as before, but rushing forward recklessly, knocking down all the surrounding trees.
It actually knew their intentions! It was going to knock down all the trees here so that the female insects below could no longer climb up!
But it broke so many trees that it was covered up for a moment.
An Lang didn't have time to marvel at the wisdom of Xingzhi. He quickly ordered Rayleigh to head northeast again.
"Go over there, quick!"
The female insect didn't hesitate and jumped down from the tree without hesitation. An Lang heard a cracking sound from his shoulder, and his right hand covered with black armor drooped completely.
Sure enough, the further he went northeast, the closer he got to the ground.
The rope swung back and forth in the wind, and their fingertips touched several times.
Just as An Lang held the female insect's left hand, a tree that had just been broken by the star beast broke apart due to the vibration caused by the star beast's constant struggle, and the bark that was finally connected together broke off and fell down.
Unexpectedly, its branches happened to hook Anlang's rope, and Anlang was pulled down violently.
There was a loud "bang".
An Lang fell to the ground, but he didn't have time to care about his injuries, but suddenly looked up.
Rayleigh!
It was the sound of Rayleigh's hovercar hitting the wall of light!
Oops!!!
"Rayleigh!" An Lang shouted.
After the crackling sound of electricity, Rayleigh's voice rang out: "Your Highness, I'm fine! Is the rope compressed? Now the hovercraft is stuck on the light wall and can't move!"
The rope was indeed crushed by the tree. An Lang crawled over and tried to untie the rope wrapped around the tree, but he found that the trunk of the rope was very thick. Not to mention that he only had a dagger, even if he had a saw, he didn't know how long it would take to cut it!
The star beast's big claws waved more happily.
The red-eyed female insect also rushed over, wanting to untie the rope with An Lang.
An Lang decisively unfastened the safety buckle around his waist. He glanced at the female insect's right arm, which drooped at its side. The remaining hard armor on it glowed ominously with a black light. "I'll distract it. You cut the rope and go up."
Rayleigh had assured him that the rope was so strong that even a dagger would take a long time to cut through it.
I just don’t know how long it will take for Lan Xiu’s hand blade, which has not completely reverted to its ancestral form, to cut it open!
The female insect stared at An Lang with her blood-red eyes, as if she wanted to see through him.
So far, he has been completely confused by the male insect's behavior.
"And you?"
The rope is only this long. If one end is cut, it will no longer be able to reach the ground in this separated area. If An Lang goes to lure away the star beast, he will have no time to come back.
"I have access rights. I can pass through the dividing wall to another area." An Lang said. He couldn't be so unlucky as to encounter other star beasts as soon as he passed by.
Although this female insect does not have a pass and cannot get out of the light wall, she will not be killed by the star beast even if she is hung in mid-air, and she can always wait for rescue.
He said as he ran towards the dividing wall.
"The buzzing sound it just made was to summon the Star Beast."
The female insect's voice was carried by the wind to An Lang's ears. Before his brain could analyze the meaning of the words, he saw a horrifying scene -
Countless star beasts with bared fangs and claws were clinging to the blue dividing wall. They were drooling with fishy saliva and paddling their front claws, leaving countless green ripples on the wall of light.
Waiting for Anlang to approach.
