“This thing is hidden very cleverly. It is indeed in the pool, but it is not in the water or underground. It is in the air.
If you keep focusing your attention on the pool and underground, you will probably never find this place."
As Xu Le spoke, he walked to the left side of the center of the pool, which was below the seal.
Ai Li followed behind him, while Chi Xiao flew directly over and came to the side of the seal.
Through the refraction of light, Chi Xiao could barely see the faintly visible seal.
But even she didn't quite know how to open the seal and get the Hand of Light inside.
"This feeling is like being sealed in another dimension..."
"Your feeling is correct. We are actually in another dimension."
When it comes to exploring and understanding the alien space, Xu Le's level can be said to be stronger than Chi Xiao's.
After obtaining the power of Gu Yinduo, he has traveled to several different dimensional spaces.
Puppet's, Night Fury's, and Lightforged's.
Of course, there is also the realm of the mother tree, the ancient yellow spring land with many roots, and so on.
After these experiences, Xu Le naturally had a certain understanding and guess about the seal in front of him.
It was sealed in its own world.
A world forged by light.
"There should be a key or something like that in this place, but even if there isn't, it doesn't matter."
Xu Le's body also transformed into elements at this time and slowly floated up.
Coming in front of the seal, his finger turned into a point of light and he gently pointed and touched the seal.
Sudden!
A pair of eyes appeared from Xu Le's sight.
The strong feeling was like looking at him from the inside of his vision, which was a sense of gap that was difficult to describe.
"Well… "
He wanted to interrupt the light in his hand, but then found that he couldn't do it at all.
Some force was driving him to remove the seal...
This power... is Gu Yinduo!
“Guyinduo!”
"What?" Chi Xiao was stunned.
She glanced at Xu Le. At this moment, Xu Le was completely enveloped by the light source and there was nothing special about him.
Chi Xiao didn't think that there would be any problem with Xu Le. At least she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Xu Le yet.
But soon, Xu Le repeated it several times.
“There are many ancient sounds, there are many ancient sounds!”
The continuous repetition of ancient sounds made Chi Xiao realize that Xu Le might be in trouble.
"Xu Le? What's wrong with you?"
"Well… "
A huge amount of spiritual energy flowed out of Xu Le's body, and the level of the spiritual energy pool dropped slightly as a result.
This spiritual energy penetrated into the seal in front of him like an electric drill.
The power of light began to connect with each other, and the seal hidden in the air was gradually disintegrated.
A huge finger appeared in front of them.
"Light-cast arm!" Chi Xiao glanced at Xu Le who was still glowing.
Xu Le also stopped extracting energy. The light emanating from his body instantly dissipated, and he immediately fell from mid-air.
Ai Li's focus had always been on Xu Le, and he quickly caught him.
Chi Xiao also noticed that something was wrong with Xu Le and asked:
"You don't look well, what's wrong?"
Xu Le's face looked a little ugly. He had thought about the problem of light casting power, but he didn't expect that so much spiritual energy would be drained away.
This process is Gu Yinduo controlling the power of light casting.
And the Lightforge itself... has been recycled by the Ancient Sound Mother Tree.
At least some of it was recycled.
"It's not that we found this place, but it is waiting for us to open the seal..."
"Is it guiding us?"
"The bugs are coming."
Squeak!
A harsh and sharp sound came from all around, and it never stopped, but there was no specific location where it appeared.
Kaka~!
Suddenly, the solid wall of the pool beneath their feet made a crisp sound, and Xu Le and Ai Li jumped up immediately.
A piece of the insect's mouthparts bit through the burned ceramic wall and stretched out from the soil.
“We’re already here.”
Coo~coo~coo…
A long sound came from the east, and it felt like something was accumulating strength.
When this voice appeared, Chi Xiao's eyes suddenly became solemn, and he stared at the east without moving away.
There was fog all around, so even Chi Xiao and Xu Le couldn't be sure what was in the distance.
The feedback from Gu Yin's multi-perspective view was vague, and he could only feel that the other party was a very scary creature.
"Legend!" Chi Xiao said suddenly.
"Then it seems that only you can solve it." Xu Le said helplessly.
Legendary-level weirdness can only be solved by legends, so a nobody like him won’t try to get involved.
Chi Xiao nodded:
"It looks like it's the one that was hiding before. I have to deal with it. Be careful."
“No problem, but what about this lightforged arm
I really want this thing, but I also know that if I hold it now, I will instantly become a target for bugs.
So, you take it..."
Xu Le was very clear-headed, and the light-cast arm was a hot potato at this moment.
With his level, he can't hold this thing at all.
There is only one legendary target now, but if there is a second one.
One can hold Chi Xiao back, while the other can easily kill him instantly.
He couldn't put himself in such a dangerous situation. Taking the risk of taking the light-forged arm was not an option...
"Okay, I'll take this first."
Chi Xiao lifted his blindfold, and a vortex of blue light appeared, absorbing the light-forged arm in front of him.
This should be her alternate dimension.
Xu Le watched the light-cast arm disappear, and the feeling of regret in his heart became even stronger.
He knew that this was a side effect of the power of light casting, and he could only control it by himself.
"Aili, let's go."
"yes."
After Chi Xiao took away the light-forged arm, Xu Le and Ai Li quickly left.
He chose elemental flight, while Aerie followed behind him using Moonstep.
At this time, the area around the Danong Pond was already full of bugs, and it was definitely impossible to stay on the ground. It was too dangerous to fight the bugs on the ground.
I can only rely on my flying ability to keep a distance from these insects.
"Xu Le, the number of bugs is amazing."
"Well, it's really outrageous. The number of bugs hiding underground... is dozens or even hundreds of times greater than we imagined."
Only by flying in the air and looking at the ground can you feel the astonishing number of Zerg.
Xu Le didn't know what these insects ate to grow.
There are even more Zerg Lords at this time than during the previous Black Tide.
These bugs surrounded them and had already started fighting with some of Keen's regular superhumans.
Xu Le couldn’t understand. Even if the Zerg’s reproductive ability was very strong, the most basic energy intake should still be based on the law of conservation of energy, right
Any living thing that wants to reproduce needs to consume a lot of energy.
Energy can be many things, including energy crystals, the spirit of the red moon, ancient sound spiritual energy and other direct energies.
In addition to these direct energies, bioenergy can also be used as the most common energy supplement.
Food, plants, meat, these are the conventional ways to obtain energy.
But the question is, how much biological energy and resources are needed to raise so many insects
In just 2-3 days, so many insects can be reproduced.
The resources required are several times more than under normal circumstances.
Even pork...
"Wait, meat?"
Xu Le, who was flying in the air, suddenly stopped.
Ai Li, who was standing by, also stopped quickly and stopped on a building.
"What did you think of?"
"There is a place where there is really a lot of meat, and it is free, and no one wants it."
"Where?"
"The weird cleanup site of the Kuroshio."
After Xu Le said this, Ai Li understood.
"Yes, the number of monsters that died in the Black Tide was extremely astonishing. If the bugs got their hands on some of the monster corpses.
It can indeed reproduce in such large numbers in a short period of time."
"But there should be someone special to clean up strange corpses. It's the same in every city."
“Yes, it’s the same in every city, there will be people to clean it up.
The problem now is the person who is responsible for handling the strange corpses."
"… has it been infiltrated?" Ai Li already understood what Xu Le meant.
“The person who can handle all the strange corpses in the Black Tide has the decision-making power and blocks out other people who have doubts.
The power and strength among them are so high that it should be enough to reach the top of Tianrui Lifeng.
There are very few people like this, and their characteristics will be very obvious. If she can discuss it with Chi Xiao, she should be able to guess who this person is."
"Are we going to find Chi Xiao now?"
"No, legendary battles are too dangerous. It's easy to get killed if you go."
"And now?"
"Just follow the bugs and see where they go."
…
While Xu Le was following the bugs, Chi Xiao was also following the scent of the legendary Zerg and came out of the city.
Coo coo coo! ~
A strange sound, like the croaking of frogs.
Chi Xiao remembered that Xu Le's toad could make a similar sound, but the opponent's strength was obviously much stronger than that toad.
Even she has to be careful.
Gu!
There was a strange cry, followed by a beam of deep purple light.
The light beam was too fast, even Chi Xiao couldn't dodge it.
She clenched her right fist, and a shield made of a fusion of metal and fire appeared in her hand.
boom!
Chi Xiao took a step back and stood firmly in place.
The surrounding insects had all died in the aftermath of this attack, which made Chi Xiao feel a little uncomfortable because she originally wanted to burn these insects to death with a fire.
When she was little, she used the soles of her shoes to burn ants...
At this moment she was trying to recall her interesting childhood.
"The technique..."
Chi Xiao was just about to form a seal to attack, but his fingers suddenly stopped.
"This is?"
The purple energy beam just released by the opponent left a light green afterimage.
This afterimage lingers and is most obvious where he is defending.
At the beginning, Chi Xiao thought it was just residual energy and didn't pay much attention to it.
But if you look closely, you will find something strange about this afterimage.
The green marks became more and more obvious, with obvious lines and marks on them. These lines and marks were corroding the surrounding air.
To be more precise, it is corroding the surrounding space.
"That bug wants to tear the space here apart?"
Chi Xiao was about 70% sure of his judgment.
And she soon realized the key.
The insects were summoned by Gu Yinduo.
But the bug itself is not a harmonious creature. It is a race of Outer Gods, the Void Devourer.
After being summoned by the ancient Yinduo mother tree, these insects are definitely not without purpose.
They themselves have bad intentions.
After coming to this world, there is only one thing these Outer God Zerg will do.
eat.
Eat all the resisting creatures, then eat the plants here, and finally eat the entire Deep Blue.
This is the horror of the Outer Gods.
Maybe they are not the strongest individually, but they are definitely the most threatening of all creatures.
This green afterimage should be the space beacon they left behind.
Used to form space channels or summon more insects.
Coo! ~
While he was thinking, the second beam of light appeared.
This time, the experienced Chi Xiao did not block it completely, but used the shield he had just formed to block part of the energy.
It's not that she can't stop it, she just wants to test it.
Seeing the afterimage left behind, Chi Xiao said thoughtfully:
"Is that so? The collision of energies will leave afterimages.
Is it because my energy bears traces of this world? Its energy bears traces of their world, so the collision of the two leaves a mark? "
Chi Xiao didn't know whether his guess was correct.
However, under the current circumstances, it is best not to engage in energy collision with the other party.
Moreover, the two previous traces also need to be dealt with after the battle.
"We have to get close and catch it."
Flames ignited on Chi Xiao's body, and with a explosion, her body disappeared on the spot.
The Void Breather, which had been hiding in the fog, suddenly lost its target.
As a Zerg, it lacks the combat experience and coping methods of humans like Chi Xiao.
After losing Chi Xiao as its target, it began to look around.
At this moment, a ball of fire suddenly appeared, and the small figure actually stood on its nose, with one hand pressing on its right eyeball.
"Dragon's Fury."
boom!
Oh~
The Void Breather screamed as half of its face was shattered by the blow.
It looked like a massacre.
"Chi Xiao, let me help you."
"Jiutu?" Chi Xiao looked at the person who came with some confusion.
…
As for Xu Le, he was just following the bug in a very nonchalant manner.
Soon we followed the stream of insects and arrived at the Tianrui Lifeng Hero Monument.
As Xu Le looked down, the insects swarmed up the monument.
Although there are usually many people coming here to watch and worship, there are so many insects now that even the extraordinary people have to retreat.
The extraordinary people who could not fly were forced back by the Zerg, and most of them could only climb up the stairs to observe.
Only someone like Xu Le who can fly can observe the condition of the insects at close range.
"Their goal is so strange..."
“The monuments.”
"Why would bugs be interested in this kind of stone?"
"It can't be for food. It should be that there is something they need there, or something required by a higher will."
"The Lightforged body is here?"
"It should be, and it was sealed up by some special means, just like the one in the pool before."
As soon as Xu Le finished speaking, a familiar breath appeared at the end of his vision.
Darkness and the power of ashes come from the same source.
"Is it the fruit that was eaten?"
