The light produced in an instant was too strong, and in an instant, Xu Xin's eyes were filled with white light.
The wind pressure generated by the explosion made Xu Xin and Lou Feier, who were both in the jungle a hundred meters away, a little unsteady on their feet.
“嘤…” Coco buried her little head and curled up in Xu Xin’s arms.
"This explosion is too powerful!"
Although the two were not sure about the current situation, Lou Feier still sighed.
"… really."
Watching such a violent explosion from such a distance is really enough to make people exclaim in amazement.
The vision in his eyes gradually recovered, and the explosion once again produced smoke that rose like mushrooms, once again obscuring the location of the giant insect.
"What happened?" Xu Xin looked at the direction of the explosion nervously.
"No... I don't know, but..." Li Wenxi's nervous voice came from the watch, "That bug doesn't seem to be dead! I can vaguely see its body in the smoke!"
Xu Xin was observing through the gaps in the dense tree canopy in the jungle and could not see the entire picture, but Li Wenxi's position allowed him to.
"It...it's really not dead!" Beside her, Lou Fei'er's throat rolled and she said in horror, "I can still feel its pressure, and...it seems to be stronger! It...it won't be even angrier!"
"Hmm...?" Coco cried out in confusion.
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.
Every time the insects died, it was within his expectations.
He didn't think that this attack could kill the giant insect.
After all, even the Blood-Marked Troll, which was weaker than it, was only seriously injured after suffering the same blow. It did not lose its life, but only its head.
Not to mention its even stronger strength.
And, most importantly, it's a bug.
The vitality of insects should never be underestimated!
Even some ordinary insects on Earth can survive after being broken into several parts, and each part can even grow into an individual.
Insects have very strong vitality, much stronger than mammals that will die if their internal organs are damaged.
I'm afraid this giant insect is the same!
It might even have stronger vitality!
It just blew its head apart, which probably can't be considered a serious injury to it.
but…
He had no intention of killing the bug, just getting it to leave was enough.
I hope that after this attack, the giant insect will retreat.
Oh, right, mind reading!
All the insects around have been killed by the explosion. Now is a good time to read their minds!
He immediately started reading minds.
“… It hurts! It hurts so much!
”
A sharp scream immediately began to echo in his mind!
After all, he is not dead.
However, this voice did surprise him a little.
This insect is so huge, and its voice is very sharp.
“… Dangerous… Too dangerous…”
Its inner voice at this moment made Xu Xin raise his eyelids and feel happy.
This guy is starting to back down when he sees difficulty!
"Damn it... Why are the test subjects here so strong? This doesn't make sense... I shouldn't have come here..."
…
The smile on Xu Xin's face froze.
Are you talking about them, the experimental subjects
And the following sentence...
It turns out that this bug just arrived here recently and is the culprit for this insect swarm!
“… I want to go back. I don’t want to be here anymore… This is not what we agreed on!”
What did you agree on
Who did it agree with
The force that sent it here
But judging from the tone of its inner voice, it didn't seem to be controlled by the other party, but rather it seemed a bit like... it came to help
At this time, the thick smoke produced by the explosion had dissipated, and the survivors who had been observing the situation around them finally saw the situation clearly.
"Oh my god, the whole head of this bug was blown off!"
"Even that horrible mouth of its was blown away!"
"Hahaha, this thing is not far from death!"
"Fuck, this is too exciting! Why can't I contact other people now? I want to tell this to everyone in the world!"
"Wait...! This bug... This bug is still moving!"
"Its head! Its head is growing again!"
“Xu Xin, Xu Xin!” Li Wenxi’s voice was extremely anxious, almost crying. “The head of this insect seems to be growing! It… its head will grow back soon!”
Xu Xin couldn't see much from his angle, but from the angles of Li Wenxi and the other survivors, they could clearly see that the flesh and blood at the wound where the insect was broken by the explosion was wriggling and growing rapidly. It was likely that in a few minutes, the head that was blown off would grow back!
But this is the only killer weapon they have!
If this doesn't work, then we're completely powerless to resist!
"What?!" Lou Fei'er was already overwhelmed by the pressure of the giant insect. When she heard this, she almost collapsed. "Xu Xin, what should I do? What should I do?"
Even the Silver King under Xu Xin was very restless at this moment. If Xu Xin hadn't been riding on it, it would have turned around and ran away long ago.
"Don't panic, you two. It's okay."
Xu Xin's voice was very calm.
The good thing is that you can read minds, and you can perfectly control the enemy's psychology and the next move.
The level of this insect was indeed very high, and its voice was basically smooth, allowing Xu Xin to hear it easily.
For example, now.
"Going back... is too dangerous. The opponent's attack was just a tentative one, but it was so powerful..."
This bug is so cautious.
It believed that the first attack launched by the tree house on it must be a tentative attack, and it was impossible for it to use its full strength in the first attack.
If the enemy bombards it indiscriminately, it will be seriously injured and on the verge of death even if it doesn't die.
"This is too dangerous... I'm not the fighting type... I can't die here!"
The red light on the giant insect suddenly became brighter, and then its head that had been blown off began to grow and heal wildly.
Xu Xin's heart moved.
Not the fighting type
No wonder…
No wonder it has been staying in that huge pit, roaring and controlling the swarm of insects, but it hasn't moved at all.
It turns out that its own combat effectiveness is not that strong.
Indeed, even the bite just now towards him and Lou Feier was not very fast, and they were able to easily dodge it. It just bit a mouthful of dirt.
"Xu Xin! Is this really okay?!" Li Wenxi's anxious voice came again.
Although Xu Xin's calm tone just now made Li Wenxi and Lou Feier feel much more at ease, the current situation was really too scary!
It is obvious that the other party is completely angry!
"Don't worry, if I say it's okay, then it's okay." Xu Xin pursed his lips, almost unable to hold back the urge to laugh.
The giant insect's thoughts at this time were really funny.
"Don't hit me... Let me go! I'll take them with me when I recover! Don't hit me!"
This giant insect had terrifying blood patterns flashing on its body, and its flesh and blood were growing wildly, but it was actually thinking about these things in its heart...
But taking them with you
It said that it wanted to restore its head, or rather, restore its giant mouth. It sounded like... it wanted to use that giant mouth to make a sound and take the surrounding insect swarms away from here!
If that's true, then everyone is happy!
"Um... okay."
After hearing what Xu Xin said, Li Wenxi felt relieved, and then asked curiously: "So, how do you know there is no danger now?"
"Well, it's a secret." Xu Xin rubbed Coco in his arms, who was looking at the giant insect curiously, and said with a smile.
He still planned to keep some secrets to himself.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Li Wenxi, but the information will always get out for various reasons, even if she didn’t take the initiative.
A secret is only a secret if it is known only to yourself.
It's time for him to have some cards of his own.
"Secret... ? Well, okay!" Li Wenxi didn't ask any more questions. "Then I'll trust you. Is there anything else I can do?"
"Hmm..." Xu Xin smiled maliciously, "You control the purple-level super-heavy crossbow and aim at the giant insect."
"Ah? What do you mean?" Li Wenxi was a little confused. "We are out of ammunition. I only replenished one round before. You know how much material this thing consumes."
"Okay, it's not about having someone fire, just aim."
"Uh... okay, okay." Li Wenxi was confused and muttered, "Isn't this a provocation? Will there really be no problem?"
However, she did as Xu Xin said.
On the tree house, the huge heavy crossbow began to move again, aiming once again at the giant insect whose head had basically grown out and whose bloody mouth had begun to take shape.
“…!
Don't hit me! I'll be leaving soon!"
Sure enough, when the giant insect saw the heavy crossbow moving, it was so scared that it screamed in its heart, and even its huge body began to sway.
"Pfft..." Xu Xin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This giant insect...
Why does it feel a little cute
But those who don’t know its inner thoughts will not find it cute.
Li Wenxi was a little pale.
Because the red light on the giant insect became stronger and its recovery speed suddenly increased.
After a few seconds, the head was finally completely restored, but then the bloodstains on its body quickly dimmed.
Then, the giant insect opened its newly grown bloody mouth, looked up to the sky and let out a roar that shook the entire mountain and forest.
“——”
In the nearby jungle, the swarms of insects that were still rushing towards the campfire or gnawing on the trees immediately stopped their actions.
Then, suddenly, a swarm of insects emerged from the underground of the jungle!
It instantly enveloped the night sky!
The number of these insects far exceeds all the insect swarms I have seen before!
However, there are not many bugs appearing around Xu Xin's current location, probably because the previous wave of attacks consumed the bugs nearby.
“This… this…!” Li Wenxi had seen so many radical scenes that she was a little speechless.
It’s not that she doesn’t believe Xu Xin, but this kind of situation keeps happening one after another…
Even Xu Xin's expression changed.
This number is astonishing!
Behind him, Lou Feier, who had been silent all the time, suddenly grabbed Xu Xin tightly, her hands shaking constantly.
Keke, the timid little fellow, was not afraid at all and even climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder: "Ying!"
As long as the little guy Coco is not in a hurry, it’s okay.
Sure enough, the overwhelming swarm of insects did not attack the tree house, nor did they have any interest in Xu Xin and the others. Instead, they collectively flew and crawled towards the giant insect's location!
The speed is amazing!
"Ah..." Li Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief in the voice, "Fortunately they didn't attack us, otherwise..."
"I told you, just trust me." Xu Xin said with a smile.
"You, don't you have the ability to control the giant beast?" Li Wenxi asked doubtfully, "Otherwise, why did the other side retreat when they had such a big advantage? Did you control it?"
"Congratulations, you guessed wrong."
"… snort!"
At this time, the survivors in the tree house were also cheering.
"Fuck, this scene is too intense!"
"Is there any way to record this scene? I want to share it with survivors all over the world!"
"The insect swarm is retreating!"
"Too strong... Really too strong..."
“This is simply the safest place in the world!”
“And every day is exciting!”
Within a minute, all the insects that emerged from the ground flew and crawled into the pit.
As soon as the giant insect let out that roar, it immediately turned around and burrowed into the ground.
While drilling, it also made sounds of gnawing on soil and rocks. It was obvious that it was using its bloody mouth to swallow the soil to dig the hole!
This guy can't really be a worm...
It left a sentence at the end.
"Next time I come... I will bring a stronger army of insects! Otherwise..."
Then, Xu Xin couldn't hear anything.
The giant insect's distance was beyond the range of the mind's voice reading, and the voice in the mind stopped there.
This guy runs really fast.
It seems that although it is of a high level, its abilities do not seem to be reflected in combat.
Its ability should be to control the swarm of insects.
It seems that the direction of mutation of this giant insect is not physical, but mental like Qin Fu's, so it can control the group of insects by roaring.
But because the insects this time were all small insects, and they were all brainless insects that couldn't control themselves and wanted to rush into the fire when they saw it, its ability to control the group of insects seemed insignificant.
If, as it says, it brings a stronger swarm, for example...
A swarm of insects like the underground world.
That would be too powerful.
but…
Xu Xin couldn't help laughing again.
The insect's final words always gave him a feeling of "I will definitely come back".
It doesn't seem like a being that is controlled by itself.
Taking into account its huge size and its thoughts just now, Xu Xin also had a general idea of it.
This is a giant insect that has the blood of a giant beast and has also undergone blood pattern mutations.
The Blood Pattern Clan has not been able to control this kind of creature yet.
Otherwise, places like the Underworld Prison wouldn't exist.
Therefore, this giant insect was most likely here to help, just as he had just thought.
But when something like this happened, it thought its life was threatened, and naturally it would not sacrifice its life like other mutant creatures.
In addition, it has a mental power mutation, so its IQ must be much higher. The higher the IQ of a creature, the more it considers, so it will naturally run away.
This allowed them to easily resolve the issue.
"Is there anything funny..." Behind her, Lou Fei'er, who had been silent the whole time, complained, "You almost lost me..."
"…?" Xu Xin turned to look at her, "What do you mean? Didn't you think you were suppressed by a higher level just now?"
“… not quite the same.”
It wasn't that she didn't want to talk just now, but... she couldn't say anything at all.
Just now, when the giant insect's entire body glowed red, she actually felt that there was an inexplicable attraction to the giant insect, which made her subconsciously want to get closer.
But she held back.
Later, when the giant insect emitted a bright red light, she almost couldn't help herself.
She felt like she was also going to be controlled by that roar!
Fortunately, she held Xu Xin's arm tightly with one hand and pinched her thigh with the other hand, and she managed to hold it in.
Only after the giant insect retreated did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and utter those words.
"This is too scary!" Li Wenxi said in fear on the other end of the voice chat, "They were almost controlled! Xu Xin, you need to improve their mental strength quickly!"
"So that's how it is..." Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, then nodded, "It seems that we really need to speed up the process of improving your mental power. The amount of mental power potion will have to be increased in the future."
"Uh... I don't know if I can bear it..." Lou Feier said in a low voice.
"Okay, let's go over and take a look. Those three people should still be down there."
The two men immediately rode the Silver King to the edge of the giant pit and looked down.
"Yi—" Lou Feier let out a disgusted cry.
Below, there was a large area of soil that looked as if it had been plowed and was very soft.
This should be the place where the giant insect burrowed into the ground to escape.
but…
The swarm didn't seem to be able to fully keep up with the giant insect's speed.
This resulted in the huge pit below being filled with reptiles and flying insects.
Even the ruins and statues were crawling with insects.
This really makes it difficult to get into it.
What should I do
At this moment, Xu Xin's watch vibrated.
He raised his hand and saw that it was a message from Ji Chaoyang.
"Xu Xin, what's going on over there? Someone here saw the fire over there. Did anything happen?"
"Xue Fei's insect repellent has been prepared. It's quite effective. Come to me if you need it."
He was probably afraid that something might happen with Xu Xin, so he didn't dare to disturb him with voice.
but…
The insect repellent is ready!
This is just right!
