Chapter 114
The team leader tentatively opened his eyes.
Right in front of him was the sharp forelimbs of the King Insect, facing the center of his vision.
Just a little bit more and this forelimb would have poked into his skull like pounding tofu pudding, easily destroying his nerves.
But now, it stayed where it was, and closer than him was a sword flashing with cold light.
The team leader glanced down and first saw the pattern engraved on the hilt, which was the name of his unconscious teammate.
Then came the hand holding the hilt, slender, soft, and with prominent joints.
An Zhi seemed to have grown a little taller. She held the sword in one hand and firmly grasped the other forelimb of the king insect with the other hand. Blood flowed down the barbs on the king insect's limbs and then gathered into a small pool of blood on the ground.
The wound on An Zhi's hand healed rapidly.
Little Etherland's voice sounded as cold as her elders'.
"Get lost."
The queen insect reluctantly retracted its limbs.
They are all juveniles, and it seems that it cannot defeat them.
An Zhi looked up and watched the king insect retreat to the top of the fighter plane.
This queen insect looks like an enlarged version of a spider, and also like an Alaskan king crab served on a lunch table.
At that time, Padre was standing by, digging out the crystal clear crab meat from the long crab legs and wrapping it in dumpling wrappers.
The Overlord looked pretty much like the ones she had seen on screen.
A huge black shell with protruding sharp hooks and barbs on it.
This queen was different from the one Amerys had brought back; it had longer, more numerous limbs and a small, round body.
One can't help but wonder how a body that only occupies one-tenth of the limbs can control so many limbs.
But this also helped An Zhi. With just one glance, she could feel the king insect core crystal, as bright as a ruby, beating in the center of the king insect's disc-like body.
Unfortunately, the Overlord is now slowly retreating back to the top of the fighter plane.
It built a black nest on it.
The king insect used the shadows of various pipes to hide most of its body in the shadows against the wall.
Eight of its limbs were either intertwined or deeply embedded, fixing it to the ceiling, while the remaining segments hung down along the wall, catching the unconscious prey below.
The two strongest forelimbs are used to deliver a fatal blow to prey.
It almost worked.
An Zhi gripped the side limb tightly with his five fingers, pushed his legs against the wall and exerted force together to pull out the side limb that pierced the team leader's body.
A familiar golden-green color surged in An Zhi's palm. She sprinkled it on the wound, and the big hole healed quickly.
“This, this is…”
The team leader was stunned.
An Zhi didn't know how to explain this and smiled shyly.
She had grown taller now, and an unfamiliar power was surging through her body.
Every cell in her body was clamoring for her to go out and have a fierce fight with the Overlord, dig out its Overlord Core Crystal and take it for herself.
An Zhi wasn't sure if this reaction was right.
In her vision, the king insect was about to turn into a pot of spicy Maoxuewang.
So hungry.
An Zhi swallowed this desire.
Her body was actually much more fragile than Amorys and Aiden's. She hadn't yet developed a strong physique, but she had been artificially raised to an age that didn't belong to her.
Mushroom was speaking very seriously:
[You are in great danger now. I don't know what's wrong with you. In any case, you must go back and get a checkup. Are you listening? Are you listening?]
An Zhi gave a very innocent and childish smile: "I'm hungry."
“So noisy.”
"Aren't you hungry?"
Gugu was silent for two seconds, and its mental perception also contained a large pot of delicious, bright red energy.
An Zhi could probably feel that her health was not very good.
How good can a container produced in a laboratory be?
This body has been burdened with a huge amount of mental energy for years, like a glass jar filled with too much candy.
After releasing his mental power, An Zhi felt much better.
It was as if something huge and heavy had temporarily left her back, making her steps on the ground become light and airy.
But now An Zhi is like a machine that has been carefully calculated, accurately dividing the mental power needed for maintenance and the mental power that will not cause himself to fall into chaos and be unable to bear it into two halves.
Most of them are wandering outside, with a faint tendency to flow into the distance.
A small half remains in the body to keep the container running.
Another part is eager to try forward.
It longs for the core crystal of the queen insect.
Or rather, it craves that energy.
【Gudong.】
In his consciousness, Gugu also swallowed his saliva.
But it didn't speak.
The Overlord also longs for them.
There is a stronger mutual attraction between An Zhi and the king insect.
Gugu had a bad feeling.
It was as if they were falling into some inevitable vortex planned by fate.
"do not be afraid."
An Zhi's soft voice comforted her softly.
An Zhi took a step forward.
The remaining blood in her palm rolled down her slender white fingers.
The blood beads were small, bright red balls that were quickly absorbed along the sword.
The Overlord popped its head out from the layered shadows above.
Its small eyes looked at the exceptionally delicious prey in front of it with ill intent.
The Overlord was in no hurry to attack.
It moved slowly downwards. The side limb that had just been severed was still aching, with a burning pain coming from the broken part.
Can the queen insect with weak pain nerves also feel pain?
Obviously, the king insect's brain, which is not much bigger than a walnut, cannot execute such complex thinking instructions.
It simply followed its instinct, carefully flicking its thick forelimbs with barbed tips into the pool of blood and scooping up a small round blood bead.
The king insect paused, as if identifying something.
An Zhi glanced at the position of the king insect.
It was lying at the door of the cabin of the small fighter jet. There was an armrest there. By pulling it open, one could enter the interior of the fighter jet.
The queen insect lying on it looked more like a spider hiding in the shadows, trying to catch its prey.
An Zhi took a step to the side and began to slowly recover his scattered mental energy.
The king insect's small eyes glanced cautiously in the direction of the humans.
She seemed to be distracted, and the sense of oppression around her was much less.
The queen insect's limbs are moving further and further downwards.
Stretch, stretch again——
The king insect couldn't help but open its mouthparts.
"Swish—"
The queen insect moved forward a little and had left the position where it had been staying.
The queen insect suddenly moved, its mouthparts extended from its body, directly lifting up the metal floor and the steel and concrete underneath, rolling them up, wrapping them up like treasures, and then sending them back.
It was back above the crisscrossing metal beams.
The position was slightly tilted, revealing an unknown white secretion hanging on it.
It looks bulging inside.
