Chapter 699 [698] Eye of Destruction

Three hours later.

Cheng Han's clone searched and found the second Destruction War Beetle.

This giant insect was longer than the first, and its strength was obviously much stronger.

When Cheng Han swept past from above, the surface of the black swamp was calm, and the Destruction War Beetle remained motionless, lurking underwater.

He instantly realized that the giant insect must have received a warning message from the Calamity Nest, which was why it behaved so cowardly.

This also showed that the insect swarm had a highly efficient communication network.

Cheng Han hovered in mid-air, supported by the wind, and muttered, "To defeat the insect race, we must crack their communication network."

Otherwise, facing an insect swarm army that was not afraid of death and had an astonishing reaction speed, what price would the Wan Hao people pay?

Cheng Han's eyes flickered, and he unhesitatingly listed the work of studying the communication network as the project with the highest priority.

However.

The giant insect did not attack.

So he forced it to attack.

Cheng Han's heart moved, and ripples instantly rippled around him.

Accompanied by the fluctuations of space power, his figure quickly disappeared.

The instant he completely disappeared.

More than a dozen real illusions appeared out of thin air in mid-air, sweeping from all directions towards the dark water below, where the Destruction War Beetle was hiding.

The giant insect immediately knew that its position had been locked by the enemy.

"Hiss!"

It let out a sharp hiss, and a large amount of black gas instantly emerged from its body, forming a shield that completely covered its huge body.

At the same time.

The Destruction War Beetle turned its head and fled into the distance.

Although this thing was nearly six hundred meters long, its moving speed was quite fast.

"Splash!"

Large black waves flew into the sky.

The tranquility of the swamp was completely broken.

Some of the illusions immediately began to pursue, and tried to surround the large insect from three directions: above, left, and right.

However.

The Destruction War Beetle only made a feint.

It suddenly turned its head and spewed out a sky full of black gas.

However.

This attack was completely within Cheng Han's expectations.

He understood better than anyone how ferocious and cunning the Destruction War Beetle was, how could it just flee without a fight?

Subsequently.

The pursuing illusions were hit by the black gas and disappeared into bubbles in an instant.

Near the giant insect's head, large ripples suddenly surged in mid-air, and several figures loomed within.

The Destruction War Beetle seemed to have been prepared for this, and it immediately spewed out a stream of black gas at the fastest speed, rapidly sweeping towards the figures.

However.

This was just Cheng Han's feint.

The ripples quickly converged, and the figures disappeared.

The black gas missed.

The Destruction War Beetle behaved very decisively, continuing to flee into the distance, and a very obscure wave surged within its body, seemingly transmitting a message.

Next.

Illusions appeared several times in succession.

The giant insect was dizzy from being tricked, and could only exhaustedly cope, wasting a lot of power in vain.

After fighting for more than ten seconds.

The Destruction War Beetle suddenly erupted.

It suddenly swung its long tail, striking towards an area in mid-air with lightning speed.

In this instant.

A figure emerged at that place.

It was Cheng Han.

His face was full of fear, with a feeling of impending disaster, as if "the enemy had seen through his true form, and this time he was finished."

The next moment.

An accident happened.

Mid-air suddenly flashed.

The giant insect's long tail shattered into sections.

Huge amounts of blood and bodily fluids spurted out like a fountain.

"Squeak!"

The giant insect let out an extremely painful scream.

The fear on Cheng Han's face immediately turned into a triumphant smile: "Idiot!"

He had long understood that the Destruction War Beetle's perception ability was very strong, it could not see through the real illusion in a short time, but it definitely could after a slightly longer time.

The process was as expected.

In the first half of the battle, the giant insect was indeed fleeing.

But in the second half, this treacherous insect was just deliberately acting.

Unfortunately, even the most cunning fox cannot outwit an excellent hunter.

Cheng Han used a trick, quietly laying down a space cutting net.

Under normal circumstances.

With the second-order Space Boundary Profound Seal, it would take a while to set up a cutting net.

More importantly, once this thing was set up, there was no way to move it at all, and one could only wait for the enemy to run into it themselves.

On the surface, it seemed that the practicality was not high.

But Cheng Han cleverly laid out a perfect trap, letting the giant insect fall for it and cripple itself.

At this time.

The Destruction War Beetle, seriously injured, had already lost its ability to resist.

"Boom!"

Only a loud bang was heard.

The giant insect's brain exploded.

At this instant.

Cheng Han clearly sensed that the obscure wave had reappeared.

He quickly did a deduction and muttered thoughtfully, "A bit interesting!"

In the halo.

The following picture appeared:

Only to see strange thin strings extending from a distant place, connecting to the giant insect's corpse.

It was vaguely visible.

Each thin string vibrated at a peculiar frequency.

"Buzz!"

This seemed to be transmitting some kind of message.

As the giant insect's vitality rapidly drained away, the thin strings broke one by one, and finally all disappeared.

Then.

The halo exploded.

Cheng Han collected the spoils of war, and his figure disappeared.

*

Six hours passed.

A large group of flying Calamity Insects, also known as Calamity Midges, swept past in groups, quickly turning into a cluster of small black dots.

After a while.

Ripples flashed in mid-air.

Cheng Han's figure showed a bit of outline.

He stared at the insect swarm and chuckled, "Even Calamity Midges have been spawned, it seems that the Calamity Nest is really anxious."

The environment of the Death Swamp Realm was very harsh, even flying insects were scarce, and creatures like birds did not exist at all.

Therefore, the Calamity Nest placed in this realm did not originally create Calamity Midges.

It was not until he successively slaughtered three Destruction War Beetles that this flying insect appeared.

Without a doubt.

The main purpose of the Calamity Nest spawning midges was to send these faster flying insects to search for the enemy's location.

Cheng Han then grumbled again: "To actually use these midges to lure me to attack, do they really think I'm a fool?"

He knew very well that these midges were not the same as ordinary midges.

Once he attacked them, the Calamity Nest would immediately sense his location, and then mobilize a huge insect swarm to besiege him.

However.

This was exactly what Cheng Han wanted.

The reason why he was hunting Destruction War Beetles everywhere was to make as much noise as possible, so that the Light Shuttle Divine General would notice the movement.

Ten minutes later.

A large group of midges broke their wings and fell from the sky.

In the sky.

A hazy figure dissipated into nothing.

Before long.

Thousands of insect swarms surrounded from all directions.

Among them, one midge was particularly large, with a length of more than one hundred meters.

Judging by the size of a flying insect, this was definitely a giant midge.

Not only that.

The aura emanating from it was also particularly deep and powerful.

Obviously.

The combat power of this giant midge would not be inferior to the Wan Hao race's Profound Overseer.

However.

The insect swarm searched a large area, but still found nothing.

At the same time.

Two thousand kilometers away.

The corners of Cheng Han's mouth curved up: "I am not only good at space secret techniques, but I am actually better at puppet secret techniques."

The figure that had just killed the midge was merely a temporary puppet.

His clone, relying on the strength of a Profound Master, could easily kill a Destruction War Beetle at the Profound Overseer level, so the puppet he created would naturally not find it more difficult to deal with midges than eating and drinking.

And after the mission was completed, the puppet would self-destruct, so the insect swarm would naturally not find even a single hair.

This was the benefit of being proficient in multiple Profound Seals, there was always a way to solve the problem.

In the following ten hours.

Cheng Han released one puppet after another, slaughtering insect swarms everywhere, and cumulatively killed more than eight thousand midges.

Of course.

The insect swarms in an area of tens of thousands of miles were disturbed.

An hour passed.

Cheng Han suddenly felt something, and his expression suddenly became serious.

This was a warning from the All-Knowing Eye.

Without thinking, he performed a deduction.

Stars appeared.

Halos flashed.

In the very center, layers of ripples surged, and then turned into a clear lens.

What was displayed on it was really hair-raising.

This was actually a giant eyeball.

No body.

Only an eyeball.

It was just suspended in mid-air, and there was no disturbance from any wind-type power.

The diameter of the giant eyeball reached an astonishing three hundred meters.

The most bizarre thing was that the pupil of the eyeball was also covered with a slightly smaller pupil.

In the smaller pupil, there was an even smaller pupil.

And so on.

Looping endlessly.

Cheng Han only glanced at it, and couldn't help but mutter: "Are you playing nesting dolls here!"

Just then.

The giant eyeball suddenly turned an angle, and the nesting doll eyeballs moved in unison, just in time to meet Cheng Han's gaze.

Cheng Han was shocked and quickly interrupted the deduction.

He smacked his lips, his expression extremely astonished: "This sensing ability is too keen, right?!"

Compared to the eight-hundred-meter-long Destruction War Beetle in the Dark Cave Realm, this giant eyeball was quicker to detect the peeping.

This was enough to show that this monster's sensing ability was even stronger.

Subsequently.

The All-Knowing Eye gave a piece of information, pointing out the name of the giant eyeball - Eye of Destruction.

Cheng Han grinned: "My previous guess was correct, insects prefixed with 'Destruction' are more powerful."

He immediately had another guess: "The core ability of the Eye of Destruction is probably aimed at illusions and other means.

"With eyeballs this big, eyesight certainly can't be bad!

"Speaking of which.

"There are more types of Calamity Insects than I imagined, no wonder they will become the Calamity of the Era."

Cheng Han thought for a moment and smiled: "The Calamity Nest spent a lot of time and effort to spawn the Eye of Destruction, just to restrain my real illusion, it can be considered painstaking."

Judging from the shape of this thing, it was obviously not very adapted to the environment of the Death Swamp Realm.

Even thinking with toes knew that this was also a powerful monster that was spawned urgently.

At this point.

Cheng Han decisively gave up the plan to continue causing trouble: "The Eye of Destruction should have the ability to find me, it's time to run away."

*

Thousands of kilometers away.

The huge Eye of Destruction, turning its equally huge pupils, locked onto a corner of the swamp below.

At that place.

There was actually a branch floating on the surface of the black water, its length was no more than a finger, looking very inconspicuous.

This thing seemed unremarkable, it was just one of the remains left by a certain tree monster.

At this time.

A gleam of light flashed in the pupils of the Eye of Destruction.

"Bang!"

A midge flying next to it suddenly exploded into a large cloud of blood mist.

The blood mist flowed in the air for a moment, condensing into a tentacle, which rapidly extended to the surface of the water and rolled up the branch.

In fact.

This was an item left behind after a puppet self-destructed.

Eye of Destruction, inspired by a game.

Speaking of which, 'Don't Starve' is really fun.

The next book in the plan is based on this game, and it has been conceived for a long time.
