Start a mysterious island

"Why are they rushing in that direction in such a hurry?"

With the danger temporarily lifted, Xiao Pingtian's pale face regained some color, and then he looked at the brain-eating insects that were leaving quickly, full of confusion.

"Could it be that the Insect King you mentioned is about to be born there, and they are rushing over to protect the Insect King?" Lin Li said.

"This... is very possible." Xiao Pingtian's slightly relaxed expression suddenly became serious again after hearing what Lin Li said.

After all, although he had never witnessed the horror of the Insect King with his own eyes, the tragedy of his hometown was still vivid in his mind after so many years.

"Let's go over and take a look?" Lin Li suggested as he looked at the brain-eating insects that were about to disappear.

"It's too dangerous." Xiao Pingtian shook his head, and then nodded again.

"What do you mean? Do you want to follow me and have a look?" Lin Li asked.

Xiao Pingtian said, "It's better to go over and take a look. The army outside the city probably doesn't know much about the situation here.

Although it is dangerous to follow him to take a look, if the situation of the Insect King can be known as soon as possible and then reported to the army outside, a lot of casualties can be reduced. "

Lin Li smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous."

"Your mentality is quite relaxed. Aren't you afraid of death?" Xiao Pingtian asked.

This doubt in his mind has been going on for a while. From the time he came out with Lin Li to now, he has never noticed that Lin Li looked panicked.

According to common sense, panic is a normal reaction when encountering such a dangerous thing. He has been acting calm, but it seems a bit special.

Lin Li replied with a smile, "Everyone is afraid of death, but I have always cherished my life, so I am also afraid of death."

Xiao Pingtian was surprised by Lin Li's outspokenness, because it was the first time he heard someone say so frankly that he was afraid of death.

However, during this period of contact, he did not feel any fear from Lin Li.

Xiao Pingtian was extremely frightened when those brain-eating insects with second-level strength approached just now, but Lin Li acted very calmly.

Comparing the two, the different reactions can be said to be worlds apart.

"You said you were afraid of death, but I didn't feel that you had any fear at all." Xiao Pingtian is also a cheerful person, and he directly expresses his thoughts.

Lin Li was about to say something else when an explosion suddenly sounded in the distance.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

After the earth-shaking big explosion suddenly appeared in the distance, it quickly spread to the surroundings. Creatures within several kilometers of the surrounding area could clearly hear the bursts of explosions.

"what happened?"

Lin Li and Xiao Pingtian's attention was attracted by the sudden explosion in the distance. Soon, they knew why the explosion occurred.

…………

"kill……!!!"

"Don't let go of any brain-eating insects in this town!!!"

The cry of death sounded after the explosion disappeared.

The army that got off the Yunding Flying Boat began to attack this lifeless town, entering the town through the breaches in the wall.

As soon as the heavily armed soldiers entered the town, they saw hundreds of brain-eating worms swarming towards them.

The cold-faced soldier was not afraid of the brain-eating insects and pulled the trigger of the crossbow in his hand.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The arrows shot out, instantly forming a large rain of arrows.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

Hundreds of brain-eating insects were instantly covered by the rain of arrows, and then fell to the ground after being struck by arrows.

"Roar……"

The brain-eating insect whose head was shot by an arrow fell to the ground, its body twisting continuously, and a terrible roar came from its mouth.

With vital parts destroyed, the brain-eating worm is forced to leave its host.

Bugs that were all white, only half the thickness of chopsticks, and more than one meter long emerged from the dead residents' noses.

"Disgusting."

When the cold-faced soldiers saw the brain-eating worm, they immediately felt nauseous, and some began to retching.

"Sizzling, sizzling, sizzling..."

The brain-eating insects are afraid of the sun and leave the bodies of dead residents. When exposed to the strong sunlight, their bodies begin to smoke.

"Roar……"

The shadow of death shrouded the brain-eating insects, and their screams were quite miserable.

Under the gaze of all the soldiers, the brain-eating insect irradiated by the sun turned into a puddle of mud.

"Next, please be careful, don't act alone." The soldier captain reminded his subordinates.

"Yes." The soldiers responded in unison, then divided into small teams and began to search this lifeless town.

"There is another group of brain-eating worms here." A soldier passed by the alley and saw a group of brain-eating worms moving far away, and shouted quickly.

"Tap, step, step..." Rapid footsteps sounded in various places, and within half a minute, a group of brain-eating insects moving in the distance were surrounded by many soldiers.

This kind of ordinary brain-eating insect has almost no room to fight back against heavily armed and well-trained soldiers.

So the ending can be imagined. After the bursts of miserable roars, there were many more brain-eating insect corpses on the ground that turned into a puddle of mud.

"This is too easy!"

"That's right! Isn't it said that brain-eating insects are difficult to deal with?"

After killing the brain-eating insects, two new recruits felt that this mission was too easy.

On the way to this town to eliminate brain-eating bugs, their boss repeatedly warned them to be careful of brain-eating bugs because they are very scary and difficult to deal with.

But the reality is very different from what the boss said, which makes many recruits think that the boss is exaggerating.

Two figures stood on the rooftop in the distance, taking in a panoramic view of the fighting happening around them.

"Lord Commander, something is wrong!" said the burly man.

"Yeah." Liu Yuancheng nodded, and he also noticed something was wrong.

This is not the first time he has led an army to eliminate brain-eating insects.

In the past, it took a lot of effort to eliminate all the brain-eating insects, and the entire process was extremely difficult.

Now that they have entered the lifeless town, the soldiers kill the brain-eating insects too easily. It can be said that there is no decent resistance. This anomaly can be detected by anyone with experience.

"You watch here, I'll go inside and take a look." Liu Yuancheng explained.

"Yes." The burly man clasped his hands in his fists. Next, he will take over Liu Yuancheng's command of the soldiers to fight.

"boom."

Liu Yuancheng hit the ground with both feet, and the tiles under his feet cracked. His body rose from the ground, stopped in mid-air, and then flew towards the depths of the town.

"I wonder if I can break through to the early stage of the third stage like the commander in ten years." The burly man looked at Liu Yuancheng who flew away, with envy in his eyes.

"Roar……"

There was a loud roar to the left front, and then there was the sound of a burst of arrows.

The burly man quickly looked away at Liu Yuancheng, then jumped up and jumped to the roof of another house.

He stayed to direct the battle. He had such an important responsibility and could not tolerate neglect.

…………

"The army outside the town is coming in, let's go!" Lin Li turned his head and looked to his side when he heard the shouts of killing coming from the distance.

Xiao Pingtian nodded, and then he quickly followed Lin Li, who left first.

The two people kept jumping on the roof. After a while, they saw that there were no more houses in front of them.

In the center of the town is a square with an area of ​​approximately several thousand square meters.

At this time, Lin Li and Xiao Pingtian, who were standing on the roof, saw many brain-eating insects gathering in the center of the square.

The powerful brain-eating insects they had seen before, emitting second-order psychic energy fluctuations, were now surrounding a huge cocoon.

"There really is an insect king." Xiao Pingtian looked at the huge cocoon in the distance and suddenly lost consciousness, muttering to himself involuntarily.

"Huh?" Lin Li suddenly felt a powerful spiritual energy wave behind him. He turned around and took a look, then reached out and patted Xiao Pingtian on the shoulder.

"It's too conspicuous to stay here. Let's go down and find a place to hide."

Xiao Pingtian nodded, and then he jumped off the roof with Lin Li and entered a nearby house.

All the residents of the town were killed, so no one was seen in the house.

Lin Li came to the window and found that the angle was wrong and he could not see the situation in the square in the distance.

"Crack."

There was a sound of things breaking, and Lin Li heard it and went over to see Xiao Pingtian chipping away at the wall with a dagger.

"This is a way." Lin Li saw what Xiao Pingtian was doing and naturally understood the other party's intention.

When he came to Xiao Pingtian, a hole the size of a fist had been cut in the wall.

Following the same example, Xiao Pingtian waved the dagger in his hand and opened another hole of the same size in the wall.

Afterwards, the two people used the holes in the wall to quietly observe the situation in the square in the distance.

"call……"

Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the plants around the square shook violently, and the leaves fell. Before they fell to the ground, they were blown up by the gust of wind, floating irregularly in the air.

"The cocoon is broken, and the insect king is about to be born." Xiao Pingtian looked solemnly at the cocoon emitting psychic fluctuations in the square in the distance.

"I wonder what the Insect King looks like." Lin Li said curiously.

The nervous Xiao Pingtian turned his head to glance at Lin Li and said, "You said you were afraid of death, but you are not afraid at all."

Lin Li said with a smile, "The army has already invaded the town. For the Insect King, we are not the ones that can pose a threat to it, so we are relatively safe."

After hearing these words, Xiao Pingtian thought for a moment, and it seemed that this was indeed the case, and then his nervousness was relieved.

"Roar……"

When the brain-eating insects in the square saw their cocoons broken, they immediately let out excited roars, seemingly cheering that their king was about to be born.

A white hand stretched out from the broken cocoon, and more than ten seconds later, another white hand stretched out from the broken cocoon.

Both hands began to use force to completely tear open the cocoon.

A man with a height of 1.8 meters, fair skin and handsome appearance appeared in the eyes of Lin Li and Xiao Pingtian.

"This is the Insect King?!!!"

"Well……"

Lin Li turned to look at Xiao Pingtian, "Why does the Insect King look like a human?"

Seeing this, Xiao Pingtian was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head.

"This is also the first time I've seen the Insect King. It looks like this, and I don't know what's going on."

"Roar……"

The Insect King was successfully born, and the brain-eating insects in the square cheered.

"Quiet." The human-looking insect king said, and the brain-eating insects in the square instantly closed their mouths.

"Damn, he can also speak human language." Lin Li had a shocked expression at this moment. This was the first time he had seen such a strange creature.

"No, it found us." Xiao Pingtian saw the human-looking Insect King looking towards the room and looking into his eyes. He was so frightened that his face instantly turned pale.

"It discovered us all at once. How did it do that?" Lin Li raised his hand and touched his chin.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go quickly." Xiao Pingtian shouted to Lin Li and tried to drag him away from this dangerous place.

The Insect King exudes second-order peak spiritual energy fluctuations. This is a powerful beast that Xiao Pingtian has never encountered before.

Once the opponent takes action, Xiao Pingtian feels that with the strength of him and Lin Li, there is no way to withstand the opponent's attack.

If you don't escape now, you won't have a chance to escape later.

Lin Li raised his hand to block Xiao Pingtian's stretched out hand and said calmly.

"Let's not go out now."

Xiao Pingtian said anxiously, "We have been discovered by the insect king. If we don't leave, it will be too late..."

Lin Li reminded, "Didn't you notice that there is a powerful spiritual energy wave not far from us at the moment?"

Xiao Pingtian was stunned for half a second when he heard this. Then he calmed down a little and launched a mental perception probe, and found that it was exactly what Lin Li said.

"So strong, this is...the spiritual energy wave at the beginning of the third stage?!!!"

Lin Li smiled and said, "This strong man should be the leader of the army."

Xiao Pingtian said in surprise, "It's great. With the Lord Commander taking action, the Insect King is dead."

Afterwards, the two people gathered in front of the hole in the wall again and looked towards the square in the distance.

"I didn't expect that the Insect King would be born here." A voice sounded in the air.

Facing a powerful enemy, the insect king in the square retracted his gaze from the house in the distance, raised his head and stared at the strong human standing in the sky, and spoke slowly.

"You guys react really quickly."

Liu Yuancheng's eyes were cold as he looked at the newly born Insect King. Without saying a word, he raised his hand, clenched his fingers into a fist, and punched fiercely in the air.

When the Insect King saw this, a sneer appeared on his face, and he also raised his hand and clenched his fingers into a fist.

"boom."

The two sides exchanged bombardments in the air, and the terrifying air waves collided and exploded immediately, affecting the brain-eating insects gathered in the square.

"Roar……"

The brain-eating worms that had awakened into alien beasts were not seriously affected by the impact, but the ordinary brain-eating worms were in dire straits, and they screamed in agony after being shocked.

"You don't have to guard me here anymore, go kill those intruders." The Insect King gave the order.

The brain-eating insects gathered in the square immediately dispersed in all directions, heading towards the location of the soldiers entering the town.

Liu Yuancheng did not take action to stop the brain-eating insects that were leaving quickly, because his first task now was to get rid of the most difficult insect king.

Pulling out the accompanying knife hanging from his waist, he mobilized the spiritual energy in his Dantian, and the sharp spiritual weapon sword instantly glowed with a light golden aura.

The powerful auras exuded by Liu Yuancheng and the Insect King collided with each other. The atmosphere at the scene became extremely solemn, and a battle was about to break out.
