The bug car arrived at the destination, Jing Xia stepped out of the car and stood at the battle site chosen by Pruno.
The soil on the wasteland looked even more blood-red as the sky darkened. The ground was covered with broken eggshells, which made a crunching sound when stepped on. Looking up, one could see a long and undulating barren mountain range in the distance.
No, it doesn’t seem to be a mountain.
Jing Xia narrowed his eyes and was about to use his mental power to probe into the distance, when Pruno beside him revealed the true form of the "mountain".
"Those are the blood-marked Zerg from previous generations."
His pupils constricted, and Jing Xia lowered his head to stop disturbing the sleeping Zerg. Thinking of the ground under his feet, his hair stood on end.
Where's the promised wasteland? Why is this a worm graveyard? And they're still fighting here. This is no less than dancing on your own ancestors' graves!
Pruno then added: "The egg shells on the ground are all bloodworm eggs that failed to hatch."
The further they went in, the more eggshells there were on the ground, and the expression on Jing Xia's face became heavier.
"Your tribe...is the hatching rate still so low?"
"There's nothing we can do. Food is limited, and so is the energy we can obtain. Some other Zerg even believe our race is cursed."
Pruno had a calm expression as he walked leisurely on the broken eggshells, telling Jingxia about the situation of their tribe.
Each insect in the Blood Pattern Clan is comparable to the elites of other clans. They are huge in size and have strong mental strength.
No one knew why the hatching rate of their group's eggs was decreasing while the hatching rate of eggs in other groups was increasing. In the past hundred years, only his was successfully born in the entire group.
However, none of the other adult blood-marked insects, not even his mother, came to raise the only larva with the strongest mental power, and they all regarded him as a monster.
It was only after Erfa, who had been away from home before he was born, returned to his homeland that he and his spouse adopted him and raised him.
The reason why Pruno was able to be born smoothly was that he broke out of the egg in the mother insect body ahead of time and ate other insect eggs one by one - that is, his brothers and sisters, and finally was born from the mother body as a larva after breaking out of the egg.
He is also the only child born to the Worm Queen.
But from then on, he coexisted with his brothers and sisters and broke away from his relatives.
Pruno raised his arm and gently stroked the closed eyes above. When the blood-marked Zerg were still eggs inside the mother's body, they had a spiritual connection with their compatriots.
Perhaps the insect mother can also feel the communication between them.
As a member of a cold-blooded tribe, he also didn't know what kind of emotions his insect mother felt after discovering the communication between him and other eggs. She felt that he devoured other spiritual bodies and then broke the eggs to devour other insect eggs.
After listening to Pruno's experience, Jing Xia felt a little sad.
You Zerg are really... beyond words.
Affectionate or heartless?
Jing Xia glanced to the side and saw a small piece of black and gray eggshell, which made him pause and his pupils tremble.
(a plant) He remembered what he had forgotten!
Jing Xia squatted down and hugged his furry head as if to escape, saying painfully: "Mumu is still in the dormitory!"
Pruno: Oo?
What is Mumu?
"Your little pet?"
"Yes or no……"
Jing Xia looked up at Pruno with a complicated expression, who was full of confusion. How should he explain?
Should I tell Pruno that the pet he mentioned is their Insect King?
Lowering his head and acting like an ostrich again, Jing Xia frantically thought about what he should do when he got back to appease that insect whose mind was smaller than a needle in its tail.
Pruno squatted down like Jing Xia and tilted his head to look at Jing Xia: "You don't want to fight with me anymore, do you?"
"No, come on!"
Jing Xia gathered his thoughts, stood up, and twisted the wrist guard on his hand.
He still has to fight. He hasn't practiced in real life for a long time.
When he looked up, the human-shaped Pruno had disappeared, leaving behind a huge worm with scarlet eyes all over its body.
"hiss"
The mouthparts at the top of the worm are ten times larger than Jing Xia's entire body and are filled with spiral sharp teeth. If you accidentally fall into them, you may end up dead in the worm's belly.
His body was covered with scarlet eyes, his gaze fixed on the black-haired boy who was several times smaller than him.
Faced with the crawling Zerg that was taller than himself, Jing Xia did not transform into the form of other bloodlines, but simply stared at them in human form, with a strong fighting spirit in his dark eyes.
Come and fight!
The long worm twisted its body and attacked Jing Xia. When it was about to get close, the figure in front of it flashed in the dust and disappeared.
The scarlet vertical pupils looked in all directions, and finally the eyes on the back spotted a falling figure above in the already dark night. The huge body did not slow down at all and nimbly dodged Jing Xia's punch at him.
The white fist smashed into the ground, eggshells and dust splashed up, and a large pit with spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground.
Jing Xia stood in the middle of the pit with a smile on his face. His eyes were darker than the night. He was dressed in black and had black hair. He looked like a messenger from the abyss, or a Shura who could take people's lives while chatting and laughing.
Pruno shook his body, and his vertical pupils blinked with a rustling sound, accompanied by a hissing sound. Waves of mental power surged towards Jing Xia, trying to trap him in the bliss woven by the owner of the voice.
Jing Xia's mental power also began to surge, scattering the ashes and remains around him. The mental power filled with fighting spirit almost formed a physical chain, attacking the huge and strange Zerg.
The real battle has just begun.
…………
The eggshells on the wasteland were blown away to an unknown place by the air currents caused by the battle between the two men. The blood-red ground was also full of potholes. In the largest pothole lay a Zerg with wounds all over its body and light red liquid flowing from its wounds. Only its heaving abdomen proved that it was still alive.
