Douluo: Be the King from the Town of Soul Street

"Is this the reason why these bugs have become so obedient?"

Glancing back inadvertently, Cao Yanbing discovered that the insects began to stir up a bit from the moment he leaned on the blood-red chrysalis.

Especially the big guys at the front, their bodies no longer crawled and became gradually upright.

Just in case, Cao Yanbing did not dare to touch it with his hands. Instead, he found a branch from the side and poked the opponent tentatively a few times.

To the naked eye, the outer skin of the chrysalis has become very thin, almost transparent, and there seems to be a small black shadow moving inside.

But when Cao Yanbing stabbed it with a branch, it gave him an extremely hard touch, as if he had stabbed it on a stone.

Slightly bending down, Cao Yanbing observed the insect chrysalis at close range.

The almost transparent outer skin and the densely packed bright red blood vessels were in sharp contrast. Coupled with the blurry little black shadow in the chrysalis, for some reason, this thing gave him the feeling of an embryo.

click~

A small cracking sound suddenly sounded, and Cao Yanbing instantly tensed up his nerves and distanced himself.

"Is the stuff inside going to come out?"

Cao Yanbing's eyes were fixed on the pupa.

Click, click, click...

The sound of shattering became louder and louder, and red cracks began to spread throughout the chrysalis, as if the contents inside were about to break out of the shell.

Not only Cao Yanbing, but even the high-level bugs surrounding him not far behind him began to become nervous. They kept hesitating forward, wanting to squeeze over to have a look, but they were wary of something and kept spinning in circles.

"Lord, be careful."

Xu Huang, who was on alert in the high-level insect swarm, saw that the giant insects around him began to move strangely, and hurriedly got into a fighting posture, while reminding Cao Yanbing in the distance.

"It seems nothing is wrong."

Hearing the shout, Cao Yanbing turned around subconsciously and waved his left hand towards Xu Huang.

"careful!"

Seeing Cao Yanbing's appearance, Xu Huang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the next moment, he screamed out in surprise as if he had seen something extremely dangerous.

The moment Cao Yanbing saw Xu Huang's expression, an ominous premonition suddenly came into his mind.

His hand speed was faster than his reaction, almost without hesitation, he dropped the branch in his hand, and then turned his head.

The blood vessels on the chrysalis seemed to come alive, quickly spreading to the branches, and attached to Cao Yanbing's fingers at an extremely fast speed.

Although Cao Yanbing's reaction was quick, it was still a second too late. One of the dense blood vessels had already touched his fingertips.

"What the hell!"

The blood vessel that was suddenly touched was like a needle piercing Cao Yanbing's fingertips.

Severe pain came, and Cao Yanbing instantly activated the hellfire to wrap his arm, and at the same time directly burned out all the blood vessels.

Just when he was about to burn the chrysalis directly, he suddenly noticed a substantial murderous intention coming from all directions.

Silently withdrawing the flames, Cao Yanbing stopped Xu Huang who was about to attack with his eyes, and coughed dryly: "Ahem, why did this place suddenly get cold? Let's light a fire to keep warm."

After hearing this, the insects that were preparing to riot calmed down and continued to crawl.

"Really are."

Cao Yanbing looked at the wound on his finger. Although the wound was not big, it was very deep.

He glanced at the swarm of insects that reacted very strongly, and then at the insect chrysalis full of cracks, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

"This thing seems to have intelligence. Could it be that the guy inside is the mother of these swarms of insects?"

As soon as this idea appeared, Cao Yanbing shook his head: "It's unlikely. If the insect mother is such a weakling, how can she rule such a huge insect swarm?"

Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the shadow area under the tree next to him. There seemed to be something reflecting light there.

"Pond?"

If he hadn't released the flames, and the firelight would have reflected on the thing through the poisonous mist, I'm afraid Cao Yanbing wouldn't have been able to notice it.

After taking a look at the chrysalis that seemed to be still hatching, Cao Yanbing walked around and came to the reflective object.

The strong smell of blood hit his face, and with the help of the firelight at his fingertips, Cao Yanbing discovered that there was a large pool of fresh blood in front of him.

Because the ground was full of remains left by the calcined body of the human-faced spider, the blood could not soak into the ground at all, and could only appear as a pool of water on the ground.

The firelight reflected the surroundings, and the blood spread from a swollen sac that had not been completely burned but had already split.

What made Cao Yanbing's pupils shrink suddenly was the appearance of a pair of blood-stained footprints next to the big tree.

The footprints were clearly human.

"Human? That thing is not dead?"

Seeing this scene, Cao Yanbing was in a daze, and he instantly recalled the half-human, half-insect figure in his mind.

It seems that the human-faced spider is the guy who merged with the poisonous mist to transform.

Until now, Cao Yanbing didn't know whether it was a human occupying an insect's body, or an insect occupying a human's body.

Cao Yanbing suddenly remembered that this guy seemed to have been talking nonsense before, saying that if he didn't kill him, he would be a heretic or something.

pagan?

Cao Yanbing curled his lips in disdain. If it were the former, it would be a bit evil for humans to occupy the body of an insect.

Gazing across the bloody footprints stretching deep into the forest, Cao Yanbing shook his head and did not choose to catch up and take a closer look.

For him, a defeated general will always be a defeated general, even if he is allowed to survive.

cough.

In fact, it's just because his current power is less than half. To be on the safe side, it's better not to catch up. It's better to wait until his power is restored.

Cao Yanbing's caution finally saved his life.

When he returned to the chrysalis, he did not notice that in the trees not far away, a group of black figures flashed away and disappeared deep into the forest.

The insect swarm is still in commotion, and the change lies in the cracked insect chrysalis.

"This thing seems to be breaking out of its shell." Standing next to the insect chrysalis, feeling the increasingly powerful aura fluctuations of this thing, Cao Yanbing suddenly found that he was feeling a little hopeful.

He didn't know why he had this illusion, maybe it was because this little thing sucked his blood.

"click~"

The surface of the chrysalis began to crack and fall off, revealing a dark, wriggling mass inside. The mass seemed to sense something and actually moved slowly outward.

"Be careful." Zhang Liao couldn't help but remind him.

"Ah."

Cao Yanbing subconsciously picked up the branches on the ground and was on high alert.

"Bang~"

With a final crisp sound, the chrysalis collapsed completely, and the thing inside crawled out.

Different from the large linear worm that Cao Yanbing and others expected, what crawled out from the chrysalis was a dark-looking monster with two horns on its head and ferocious spikes all over its body. insect.
