Chapter 667: Ancient Insects Killing All Around
The next moment, the four-eyed old man took action!
“Dang!” The divine bell made a tremor, swinging slowly and passing through the woods and across the water, like a sharp echo floating from a very distant era.
Those who didn't have time to run away fell to the ground instantly, blood gushing out from their seven orifices like water.
The Zerg also began to become paralyzed in large numbers and began to flee underground using [Insect Escape].
Suddenly, a sharp whistle sound came from the ancient insect's abdomen, "Ding——" like the long chirping of a cricket.
The sound became longer and longer, one after another, weaving into a dense net that enveloped the entire sky.
The two sides confronted each other, and the momentum was rising.
One side is a "myth" that suddenly appeared, suspected to be from the Third Age. The other side is from the First Age, and has immortal-level equipment in hand.
If there has never been a real competition, it would be difficult for normal civilizations to tell which one is stronger and which one is weaker.
[You are showing off your power and it feels good to bully the younger generation, right? ]
[Ancient Insect... Charge!] The ancient insect didn't bother to talk nonsense with the other party, and kicked the ground with its six insect legs! "Boom!"
The entire plateau trembled, a small earthquake occurred in a local area, and dust was raised all over the sky.
Everyone's eyes blurred, and they saw a black shadow rushing out from the dust as fast as lightning, and the figure of the ancient insect flashed across their retinas.
Immediately afterwards, the sharp horns pushed forward!
The elder of the Linyuan clan couldn't help but change color, and at this moment he seemed to be pressed down by the earth. This was the field from the ancient insect, which controlled the terrifying power from the earth to restrain the enemy.
At this critical moment, he was unable to move! At this last critical moment, the four eyeballs suddenly burst into red light, and one of them exploded like a balloon! "Pop!"
The blood blocked the terrible scene and allowed the body to regain consciousness.
But it was not enough, because the thick black horns pushed up! The old man of the Yuan clan used all his strength and moved a small step to the side.
With a soft "puff" sound, the horns emitting black light pierced his flesh.
If it weren't for that small step he took earlier, his heart would have been completely destroyed!
A sharp pain came from my chest, "He actually dared to kill me!"
A contest without any suspense.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. The ancient insects were indeed powerful. If those innate mythological strongmen did not take action, it would be easy for them to bully ordinary tribesmen.
The ancient insect pierced its trophy high into the air, and its huge body seemed to be nailed to the sky.
Blood beads rolled down from the sky and blood rain began to fall.
The scene was extremely horrifying. Its entire body was covered in blood, like an ancient god of war.
[I told you, I only need one move to kill you!] The ancient insect proudly carried its flesh body and walked around the area.
This sentence is not only said to those ancient races, but also to the surrounding civilizations.
Lu Yuan quickly said, "Don't! Don't make a big fuss, otherwise the younger ones will be beaten to death and the older ones will be attracted."
The ancient insect immediately showed off: [Humph, I am the myth of insects, I don’t like killing. ]
[This time I will only take half of your body. Next time you see me, you must bow three times and kowtow nine times and take a detour.]
With a slight "crash" sound, the ancient race was torn into two halves, and the flesh and bones shattered on the ground.
These ancient races are indeed very resilient. Even with only half of their bodies left, they can still survive.
A group of subordinates hurriedly carried him into the flying boat.
Lu Yuan was struggling with whether he should snatch the immortal-level bell... It was an immortal-level bell that only appears once in a thousand years! "Forget it, since he has already saved his life, I won't steal it."
"Unless we completely fall out..."
【Children, let’s eat! 】
Lu Yuan was shocked: "Senior, give it to me, I want it!"
He quickly crawled out of the mud.
At this moment, the Greedy Demon looked like a Leviathan Zerg, crawling madly on the ground, with its two cockroach-like antennas fluttering in the wind.
He opened his bloody mouth and put the piece of meat into his mouth.
With just one bite, he swallowed this half body into the world of Qiankun.
Gu Chong showed an angry expression. This is my spoils of war! [How dare you take it all by yourself? That is my child's food! ]
But in a flash, he thought that this greedy demon was willing to be his child just for a bite of food, and he felt secretly happy.
[You guy, you didn't show up during the fight just now, but now you recognize me as your father, just for this bite of food? Well, it's not impossible, call me insect father. ]
Lu Yuan is controlling the Tree of Life in the Qiankun World to digest this body.
The Tree of Life turned into a carnivorous plant and secreted digestive juices, and the blood of the ancient race slowly merged into the world.
Even though the number was still a little less, it achieved a breakthrough from 0 to 1. Suddenly, the weather in the Qiankun world changed. A drizzle fell from the sky, and even the flowers and plants seemed to be stained with some blood and swayed in the breeze.
He was so excited that he almost laughed out loud: "Excuse me, senior, this corpse will be of great use to me."
"Damn, it smells so good. I should have chopped off his hands and feet earlier!"
…
But in the eyes of others, the scene was a little different.
How come there is a super-sized worm hiding underground that can eat such a large piece of meat in just one bite?!
These people were silent as a mouse, just standing in the sky in a daze, and even forgot to control the spacecraft.
The “grudge elder” who was torn in half was also stunned for two or three seconds, and then he couldn’t help but wail, half of his body was eaten! “Run! Let’s run!”
The flying boat of the Linyuan clan took off quickly and headed towards their own small world.
The Zerg army symbolically chased for a while, like a whirlwind, chasing for hundreds of kilometers before returning.
Gu Chong boasted to Lu Yuan: [I haven't made a move for a long time, do you really think I'm a sick bug? ]
[What ancient race is no more than this? How does my combat power compare to yours? ]
The guy's six long legs twitched a few times and he looked very proud.
Lu Yuan wanted to compliment him, but he didn't dare to hide such a big thing: "Senior, I may be stronger than you now... I will beat you if you can't beat me."
[Stronger than me? What a bullshit strong man, I can kill him in one move.] Although Gu Chong was very optimistic about Lu Yuan, he was a little unconvinced at the moment, and his tone was a little unhappy, [Don't brag, the greater the strength, the greater the responsibility.]
【The future is yours, but the present is mine. 】
"Ahem...Senior, I have now grown to a height of three thousand meters."
The size of the Greedy Demon is almost the same as that of the ancient insect, and with the [Steel] ability, it can indeed kill the opponent with one punch.
"I am even stronger than when I beat the snake man [ghost]."
Gu Chong became more and more unhappy, and thought that Lu Yuan was bragging more and more, and his six long legs stopped twitching.
Old Lu quickly changed his words: "...Of course, compared to my predecessors, I still have a lot of potential that has not been tapped."
[Hey, this is just a blood-sucking stink bug. Don't be proud even if you kill it with one punch. ]
Gu Chong was very proud. Wait, you, Lu Yuan, can fight ghosts now? Is that true? Lu Yuan said, "But as the master of the Immortal Palace, it is not convenient for me to take action in the ruins of Buzhou, so I was just watching. If the ghost finds me, the master of the Immortal Palace, and comes to kill me, I will be in big trouble."
The ancient insect immediately became a little timid. [Ghosts] were a taboo that could not be touched. It changed the subject: [Don’t underestimate the innate myths of the First Era...]
[The former Emperor of Heaven was also one of the innate myths. I am no match for him. ]
[These ancient races have a lot of history and must have innate myths.]
"Okay, I understand. If senior can't defeat the innate myth, I have to take action to suppress them even at the risk of my life." Lu Yuan became more and more excited. The ancient bloodline of half a corpse alone caused subtle changes in his world of Qiankun.
If we can get more...the world of Qiankun will undergo tremendous changes!
He finally understood the good intentions of his mother and Pangu Continent. This was a treasure sent to his doorstep!
If his reason hadn't told him that it was unrealistic to challenge all the ancient races single-handedly, he would have wanted to attack them right now!
Gu Chong looked around and saw the silent crowd trembling with fear, and some of them even wanted to escape.
[What should we do next? Now that the fight has been completed, what should we do with these onlookers? ]
"Senior, please don't say anything. Just let me speak."
[Don't lose my face.]
"Of course I know."
Lu Yuan imitated the ancient insect and made a deep voice: [Everyone! ]
[I am the myth of [Insect], born in the Third Era, a general under the command of Emperor Huangtian. In the Era War, I killed countless enemies, and was protected by the Heavenly Dao. I have been sleeping for several eras in the ruins of Buzhou.]
[The time has come for me to be reborn and spread the teachings of the Great Emperor of Heaven.]
[You can enter the temple in exchange for inheritance! ]
His voice was loud and spread in all directions like a wave.
The diplomats from various civilizations were all in great agitation. One second they looked like murderous gods, and the next second they suddenly became polite.
This made them a little confused.
But on second thought, how precious must the inheritance of Emperor Huangtian be?
Half a day later, the entire Buzhou Ruins was in an uproar. More and more civilizations heard about it and sent spaceships to gather towards the location of the ancient insect.
Even Green City, thousands of kilometers away, heard about it.
Even though Lao Mao and other high-ranking officials of the civilization were mentally prepared, they still felt that what the ancient insects had done was a bit exaggerated.
He almost killed an elder of the other clan when they met! Fortunately, he didn't really kill him, otherwise he would have really died and caused a world war! Especially when the old cat saw the fast crawling insect swallowing half of the flesh in one bite, the cat's face couldn't help but wrinkled into a ball, cursing in his heart: "Meow, this insect must be Lu Yuan, so crazy, and it was actually photographed..."
"Chairman, what if the Zerg and the Ancients really go to war?"
Several military commanders were worried: "Those Zerg are indeed strong, and the ancient Zerg's fighting power is also amazing, but if a fight really breaks out, two fists can't beat four hands. Should we provide support?"
"Don't be anxious." The old cat was silent for a moment. "Now they have a layer of 'Emperor of Heaven' on their bodies. Even the ancient races are not willing to start a war easily before they find out the bottom line."
"Besides, the ancient insect has the ability of [Insect Escape], so it is very easy to escape."
Someone else asked, "Why is that temple similar to the Temple of Greed in the North? Could it be that the owner of the Temple of Greed is Emperor Huangtian?"
The old cat secretly complained in his heart. Lu Yuan was not careful in his work and he had to help cover up for him. "Commander-in-chief Lu personally built a temple to imitate the [Temple of Greed]."
"He bought the divine skills from the North and put them there..."
People were pleasantly surprised: "How much money can Commander Lu make by reselling the divine skills?!"
In order to maintain Lu Yuan's reputation, Lao Mao could only say nonsense: "You can't make much money."
"Think about it, the divine skills in the Temple of Greed are already quite expensive. If we sell them at a higher price, fewer civilizations will want to buy them, and they might just rot in our hands."
"It would be good if we can sell it at cost price."
The old cat rolled his eyes, but humans could take their own things up and sell them.
If the trading volume is high, you can make a lot of money.
Everyone got excited: "But what should we sell? Can we put our most advanced technology products on it?"
"From antimatter bombs to high-energy lasers, they should all be best-sellers."
The old cat shook his head: "It's inappropriate. This temple is nominally the orthodoxy of the Emperor Huang Tian, but it is a relic from the Third Era. It doesn't have any high technology."
Suddenly, Master Craftsman Li Datie's eyes lit up: "Why not just sell "Field Industrialization" and related fields? This thing will definitely sell!"
"As long as we set a reasonable price, the transaction volume will not be small."
Everyone seemed to have a clear idea: "We can also sell Spiritual Word Runes!"
"That's the technology of a third-level civilization, or even a fourth-level civilization."
"It doesn't matter. All the Spiritual Word Runes that won't pose a threat to my city can be sold! In exchange for more civilization points!"
"What else?"
Another young man slapped his head and said, "Let's open up the trade channel in the North and sell all the materials of the major civilizations in the North. We should have accumulated a lot of snow wool, yak wool, and crystal winter grain, right?"
Even the old cat was shocked by this suggestion. Is it possible? Wouldn't this open up the trading platform between the Northern Territory and the Ruins of Buzhou? How much could humans earn even if they took a hand? !
…
After Lu Yuan heard the decision made by humans, he was horrified. In fact, he also wanted to spread "Field Industrialization" and it would not be a big problem for humans to participate in selling the finished products.
He had no objection to humans making a little money.
The establishment of the "Northern Border-Buzhou Ruins" trading platform was really unexpected.
"This idea is too epoch-making...but it is indeed very interesting."
"Can this function be completed?" asked the old cat anxiously.
Its fur stood up and its tail pointed to the sky. What a huge opportunity! In the cross-border trading market, the transaction volume may increase 10 times, which is equivalent to expanding from a regional enterprise to a global enterprise.
Humans’ control over trading platforms is equivalent to controlling an inexhaustible mountain of gold and silver.
"There's no problem on the technical level..." Lu Yuan spread his hands, "It's very convenient to transport supplies through the Immortal Palace, and the consumption is not much."
"But in the ruins of Buzhou, the host is an ancient race."
"You've made such a big deal. Even if you use the banner of the Emperor of Heaven, people will be jealous. Maybe the war will start early. We still have to wait until the Buzhou Festival is over before considering this matter. By then, we will have more reinforcements, such as the Kamebime, and those [Demons] who are taking risks."
"It won't make a difference for a year anyway."
"Just sell some fields and spiritual runes to make some money. Market makers will need a lot of funds in the future."
These words were reasonable. Even though the old cat was very anxious, he still endured it.
Gu Chong reminded him, "We agreed on 20% of the profits. Even if the humans join in, I still want 20%."
"You are responsible for Weimeng, but...you will get the money."
"By the way, why don't you sell a few of your ancient insect horns? They can grow back anyway."
The ancient insect's six legs trembled twice, and it was both moved and angry. This damn young man always came up with some weird ideas every day, which made people so unhappy.
…
Just like that, news of "the remains of the Great Emperor Huangtian" spread. This incident caused such a sensation that such a big gossip as "the ancient elder was stabbed in half by one blow" suddenly became a side story. Even the Buzhou Festival that was to be held a year later was temporarily overshadowed by the "remains of the Great Emperor Huangtian".
What legacy did the peak civilization of the Third Age leave behind? Can it allow people to soar to the sky? Even though those Zergs looked very scary, there were still brave civilizations that risked their lives to come before the ancient Zergs.
"Greetings, His Excellency the Myth of Insects! We are the White Horse Civilization, and have now developed to the third level of civilization. I wonder if we can obtain the inheritance of the Great Emperor?" The creatures in front of them looked like centaurs, with snow-white bodies and were quite beautiful.
"We are from the Xilijian civilization. Nice to meet you, Your Excellency. We are on our way to becoming a Level 4 civilization."
All these civilizations were respectful and gave enough face.
[Go in!] Gu Chong pretended to be indifferent, but he felt very disappointed. Why were most of these civilizations only level 3? Wouldn't their underground alliance have no leading advantage?
Thinking of this, it once again strengthened its determination to make money.
"I want to make money, I want to make money!"
However, Lu Yuan felt somewhat gloomy in his heart: "Most of the civilizations gathered in the ruins of Buzhou have some luck, which is above the average level... It seems that the first echelon of Pangu Continent is still at the third-level civilization stage."
The third-level civilization is actually not weak.
We have all the hydrogen bombs and other equipment, but it is wishful thinking to want to fight against the epoch-making disaster.
"Most civilizations are probably still in the safe zone..."
"It would take hundreds of years to go from a Level 3 civilization to a Level 4 civilization, even if resources are sufficient. If resources are insufficient... it could take an entire era."
"Short-lived era...how can we save it?"
Lu Yuan felt a sense of urgency when he thought of this.
But faced with the vast and confusing situation, he sometimes feels a little confused.
But soon, his eyes became firm: "I just need to do my own thing. People should know themselves. Pangu Continent needs all civilizations to save themselves, instead of relying on me!"
