Chapter 17: Salvation
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the light in the cave was getting weaker and weaker.
An Lang didn't even dare to light a fire for fear of attracting the attention of the star beast.
Looking at the branches covering the cave, he was actually still very nervous. These branches were simply not enough to stop the star beast.
Because he kept looking at the cave entrance, Lan Xiu seemed to have noticed something. He faced the cave entrance and his ears moved slightly.
"Is Your Highness worried?"
An Lang smiled bitterly. "I'm not sure when the rescue team will arrive, and I don't know if I should take you and hide in the cave. If a star beast appears at the door now, we'll be caught in a trap."
"I'm not as powerful as a female insect. I'm just an ordinary... insect."
"If Xingzhi comes, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about me." Lan Xiu said softly, he was very understanding. "I'm injured and can't run very fast. I'm a burden. If I can buy time for Your Highness..."
He laughed.
——Then he would have a reason to convince himself to kill An Lang immediately.
——Immediately.
——Because Xingzhi is coming.
He had already wasted quite a bit of time in Anlang. Should he keep this variable?
However, in Anlang's view, that smile had another meaning.
He felt that Lan Xiu had been completely brainwashed by the Zerg society, and he actually thought it was a blessing to sacrifice his life for the male Zerg!
"Lan Xiu, I won't abandon you!" An Lang interrupted Lan Xiu. "I'm telling you this just to alert you. The 'Boundless' area is full of dangers. We can't let our guard down until we get out."
"Besides, you are not a burden to me."
An Lang's words were not false at all.
If he were alone in the 'Boundless' area, he would definitely be very scared.
He was very glad to have Lan Xiu by his side.
Human beings are very magical creatures. When there are weaker people around them who need their protection more, they will become stronger.
"If you weren't by my side, I would have been scared to death long ago." An Lang sighed.
"Is what your Highness said true?"
Lan Xiu turned his head first and looked at him straight.
The tip of his ear moved again, but unfortunately An Lang didn't notice anything.
Just as An Lang was about to answer, he heard a loud bang.
An Lang was startled and ran to the cave entrance.
Hidden behind the branches, he saw a vast expanse of white outside.
It was dark outside, and the bright white light was certainly not the sun.
Those star beasts!
They were like pieces of noodles spilled onto the ground, surging and moving forward.
An Lang took two steps back.
"It's Xing..."
An Lang reached out and covered Lan Xiu's mouth.
He didn't see the eyes of these star beasts, and Anlang guessed that they had no vision.
But their sense of smell must be outstanding, otherwise they wouldn't go so crazy when they smell Anlang's pheromones.
The star beast in front has appeared less than fifty meters away.
Once they find this cave, he and Lan Xiu will be finished!
"Let's go out."
An Lang said this with gestures, and because he didn't dare to speak out loud, he held Lan Xiu's face very close to him.
"I'll lead it to the left."
"You go right."
"Come back to pick you up."
Lan Xiu shook his head repeatedly.
"Be obedient." An Lang smiled and pinched Lan Xiu's face. "I have wings."
Lan Xiu knew he was lying. Anlang's wings were no longer under his control, otherwise he would not have fallen when picking the fruit.
But although it was the same lie, his mood was completely different.
He even wanted to tell An Lang that there was no need to run, as the rescue team was coming.
But he just wanted to see An Lang trying hard to save him.
An Lang had no idea what was going on in his mind. He pushed aside the branches covering the entrance to the cave and suddenly ran to the left.
The tapeworms quickly sensed his presence and rushed over, jumping and leaping.
An Lang had never run so fast before. He felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He ran desperately, but the star beasts were faster than him. One of them even jumped and sucked onto his leg!
The sudden resistance made An Lang fly out, and the tapeworms submerged him like a tide.
The mouthparts of a star beast were close at hand. It opened its tentacles like anemones, and the whole insect man stood up, with only its head hanging down like a drooping sunflower, almost hugging Anlang's face!
Because they were so close, An Lang realized that this guy was not without eyes!
It has more than a dozen eyes, all on its tentacles!!!
Fuck!!!
They looked at each other, and An Lang subconsciously closed his eyes.
a long time.
No pain at all.
An Lang hesitated and opened his eyes, only to see the ground covered with tapeworm corpses.
They kept exploding and bursting in front of Anlang's eyes, and the scene looked very much like Fruit Ninja.
Well, except that it needs to be mosaiced.
Immediately afterwards, An Lang saw the white-haired female insect fighting.
No!
This is not a battle, it is a one-sided fight.
The white-haired female insect floated in the air. As he moved his fingers in the air, the star beasts would be killed by the white lines that suddenly appeared.
If An Lang was a native insect, he would know that this was the externalization of mental power.
——A skill that only a few high-level female insects can master.
There are only a few in the entire empire who are as capable as the white-haired female insect.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
The cries of female insects continued to be heard in the distance, and An Lang saw several female soldiers in uniform running towards him at a rapid speed.
The white-haired female insect also stopped killing at this time.
He suddenly disappeared in mid-air and then appeared in front of An Lang.
The two were so close that their noses almost touched.
The white-haired female insect bent down, reached out to comb An Lang's messy hair, then picked up a strand and touched it as if sniffing. His white eyelashes were like feather fans, and his pink pupils were clearer than crystal.
"Your Highness's blood smells delicious."
Hearing this, An Lang's hairs stood on end.
This female insect is definitely a pervert!
Seeing the white-haired female insect trying to leave, An Lang grabbed her arm and asked, "What's your name, and what tribe are you from?"
"Orchid tribe." The white-haired female insect curved her eyes and looked at the place where the two of them touched. An Lang's gaze drooped down and he realized that this female insect was not wearing any clothes at all!
Silver-white hair wrapped around his torso, revealing the smooth lines of his muscles.
An Lang was startled and leaned back quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the white-haired female insect in front of him disappeared without a trace, leaving only the figures of Rayleigh and other female insects getting closer and closer.
——
Because something happened, An Lang was escorted back to the palace quickly by a group of female soldiers.
"Your Highness, the 'Boundless' area did not capture the image of the white-haired female insect you mentioned. The surveillance failed at a certain moment. We suspect that it was the rebels who wanted to rescue the locust tribe who did it." Zhong Tao reported to An Lang.
An Lang shook his head slightly: "He is from the Lan tribe."
Zhong Tao paused. "Based on his white hair and pink eyes, if he's a female mantis, he's very likely from the orchid tribe, but we can't rule out the possibility that he belongs to the butterfly tribe or the spider tribe."
"The Lan people have been suppressed in recent years, and there is indeed a possibility that they will join the rebels! They don't even think about what they have done!" Zhong Tao said angrily.
"But he didn't hurt me." He was confused by the behavior of the white-haired female insect. It would be effortless for him to kill her, but he didn't do it. Instead, he tried to save her.
But if he is a friendly party, why does he appear out of nowhere and appear in the 'Boundless' area where only criminals are present?
"Except for you, none of the other female soldiers have seen the white-haired female insect's appearance clearly. If we only rely on hair and eye color, it will be difficult to find him. Perhaps you can draw his appearance."
"Um……"
Three minutes later, Zhong Tao was holding a painting, speechless.
"Are these the tentacles of the worm star beast that is surrounding you?"
"No, this is his hair. His hair is very long, and I painted it with silver!"
Zhong Tao and An Lang exchanged a glance, and An Lang handed the painting to Lan Xiu, who was sitting quietly beside him. "Are my painting skills really that bad?"
Lan Xiu blinked and was silent for a while: "I didn't see his front."
So no comment.
An Lang sighed and was about to argue when he heard hurried and heavy footsteps.
"An Lang!"
Lindbergh strode in. He was still wearing an elegant robe, but he had no ornaments on and his belt didn't fit him well. It was obvious that he had come in a hurry.
"I'm fine." An Lang's heart softened, not wanting to make this serious cheap father worry.
However, his condition did not look very good. Because the male insect had just emerged from the cocoon and had a special physical condition, the treatment chamber could not be used before an expert conducted a detailed examination of Anlang.
So the several small bloodstains on his face and the bruises on his arms could not be healed. Fortunately, his wings had been retracted, otherwise it would have been inconvenient for him to put on clothes with the wings dragging.
