Chapter 80 Before the Great Calamity
After the bronze door was closed, Xi'er and Bo Yiyan simultaneously set up an array.
They were the ones who broke the formation earlier, and they still clearly remember how the formation was set up.
The sound of insects pounding on the bronze door could already be heard, but neither of them backed down.
Half an hour later, they finally restored the formation completely, but the insects still couldn't gnaw through the bronze door.
The two sat on the ground, panting heavily, and then they saw Qu Minghao and Zhou Wu spying on them not far away.
It wasn't that they didn't want to run, but the paralyzing toxins left by the sharp thorns had taken effect, making them completely unable to move.
Seeing that the insects in the secret realm had not rushed out, the two of them looked at Xi'er, who was walking over, with fawning expressions.
"Grandma, we've all been through thick and thin together, please spare us!" Qu Minghao said.
"Live and die together? Hmph! You can even abandon your own companions in times of crisis. People like you don't deserve to live!" Xi'er said coldly.
“But we are at least Tongtian Realm cultivators. If those insects manage to escape, we should be able to hold them off for a while, right?” Zhou Wu said.
Xi'er discovered that this guy, who seemed honest and simple, was actually the most cunning one. It was after he spoke that the four of them joined forces to ambush her.
But upon closer reflection, what he said does seem to make some sense.
If they really faced those insects, these two could at least be cannon fodder and buy them a little time.
Xi'er had actually considered confronting those insects head-on, but there were just too many of them appearing all at once.
In addition, she had used up at least half of her spiritual power to kill Qu Minghao and the other three. If she ran out of spiritual power during the battle with the insects, she would be left with no choice but to wait for death.
She wasn't actually that afraid of dying, but she was really terrified of dying from being eaten by insects; just thinking about it gave her goosebumps.
"Xi'er, don't kill them yet. I have some questions for them," Bo Yi said.
"Qu Minghao, do you know who's in charge of Zhaixing City?" He turned and stared at Qu Minghao.
“Oh, then it must be the city lord!” Qu Minghao said.
“What about the master of Night Pool Palace? Doesn’t he have more power than the Lord of Star-Picking City?” Xi’er retorted.
"The master of Night Pool Palace is indeed the one with the most power in the entire Cloud Abyss, but he has never shown his face in public. Whenever something happens, it is always relayed by one of his chief stewards."
"So if anything happens in Zhaixing City, it will definitely be handled by the city's supervising official. The one from Yetan Palace certainly won't concern himself with such trivial matters," Zhou Wu said.
“A trivial matter? Haven’t you realized that what happened today is a major event for the entire Yunyuan Shangjing!”
Heaven knows how many more bugs will crawl out of the secret realm, and these bugs were temporarily kept inside the bronze gate.
But who among you can guarantee that they will definitely be stopped?
"Once they break through that gate, it's only a matter of time before they escape the formation. At that time, the entire continent may face a calamity," Bo Yiyan said solemnly.
He no longer had the mind to kill those two idiots. If his judgment was correct, this catastrophe would probably affect the entire Yunyuan Shangjing.
Moreover, if any of those insects are capable of breaking through spatial nodes, it means that they will not only harm Yunyuan Shangjing.
They might even travel to the Dust Continent, or even to the more distant Misty Heaven, the Flowing Star System, or even the entire universe.
At that time, it will be a catastrophe for all living beings.
He made this judgment because he had seen a record of the Zerg crisis in their history books in the Flowing Light Galaxy.
According to records, the last Zerg crisis occurred over 100,000 years ago.
That crisis nearly destroyed the entire universe, resulting in a regression of civilization, the swallowing of countless planets, and ultimately leaving only a few remote and cold planets.
Human civilization has taken a long time to gradually reappear.
Before this terrible crisis arrives, he must find the highest authority on the continent, warn him, and ask him to find a way to prevent this calamity.
It was rare for Xi'er to see Uncle Bo so serious, and she didn't doubt his words at all. So she said decisively, "Uncle Bo, if those insects are really that scary, then let's set off for Night Pool Palace now!"
