Chapter 377

We're just dealing with the Insect Mother.

We've been fighting for so long,

and no insect swarm has come from underground.

The insect race bred by the Dragon Kingdom

definitely doesn't have any swarms skilled in underground combat!

"If we don't kill the Insect Mother, we are the ones in real danger!"

Weiluote smiled and summarized.

"Following me is the most correct choice."

"That's right! Kill the Insect Mother!"

Everyone echoed passionately.

Just at this moment,

several figures suddenly shot off into the distance.

Who the hell is listening to your swindling!

I said it, if you want to go, go yourself!

The white girl led her country's professionals and ran wildly without looking back!

Weiluote's expression changed: "Stop them!"

He took a few professionals and hurriedly followed.

Everyone was a Border Trial contestant,

and even if their strength varied,

it wouldn't be by too much!

With their minds set on escaping,

Weiluote and the others couldn't catch up at all.

After chasing for hundreds of meters,

Weiluote and the others stopped,

looking with ugly expressions as their backs gradually disappeared.

"Trash! Idiots!"

"If they don't kill the Insect Mother, do they think they can survive just by running away!?"

What made Weiluote the angriest was that

he had always thought

that leading a professional team like Li Yao or the Sun God did was simple.

But these guys, who on the surface all listened to him,

only five people followed him!

Even if they caught up to the white girl and the others, they wouldn't be able to stop them!

In this way,

if Li Yao really came down,

his survival rate would drop significantly!

"Weiluote, forget it. Anyway, the main combat force is the insects; we just need to bring the swarm over there."

"These pieces of trash, even if they leave, it doesn't affect anything!"

Weiluote thought about it and agreed.

Li Yao coming down

was ultimately just a low-probability event.

The Dragon Kingdom didn't have insect swarms skilled in the underground,

so there was simply no need to worry!

"Alright, everyone, let's continue."

"Don't let some cowardly people disrupt our plans."

Everyone continued to follow behind the insect swarm.

The speed of this insect swarm moving underground wasn't very fast.

After half an hour,

they finally reached their destination.

"It's right above here." Weiluote took out a small beetle and said, "Wait a moment."

"I don't have the highest command authority over the swarm."

"I need to reconnect my consciousness."

Only a few powerful team captains

could be assigned a control beetle.

He had just stripped this one off the dead Lievsi,

so he wasn't the original owner.

Naturally, he couldn't easily control the swarm.

This was also why

he hadn't used the swarm to surround the white girl and the others earlier.

Time passed slowly.

The unique fishy stench of the insects, combined with the stuffiness of the underground,

made everyone become irritable.

After another few dozen minutes,

finally,

the insect swarm that had gone too far turned back,

and began digging a hole toward the top.

*Boom, boom, boom!

Thousands of insects were digging at once,

and they couldn't push the soil to the sides like they usually did,

so countless amounts of soil fell down.

The dozen or so professionals were covered in dirt.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

Weiluote spat out the dirt in his mouth.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, wait a little longer."

"At the very least, we need to confirm this location is accurate. Once we see the Insect Mother, we'll retreat immediately!"

Someone waved their hand, nonchalantly saying:

"Don't worry, we're already here, and we aren't softies like that bunch of trash!"

"The Dragon Kingdom has no monsters skilled in underground combat."

A knight-type professional covered in muscles even gave a sinister laugh:

"If you ask me, why don't we watch the Insect Mother get eaten, and by the way, look at the desperate expression on the Dragon Kingdom's chief?"

"Hahaha!"

Weiluote laughed loudly: "That would be something to enjoy."

Unlike the Turkey Nation professional,

he had seen Li Yao's summoned beasts with his own eyes

and knew how terrifying they were!

As long as he confirmed this was below the Insect Mother, he would retreat immediately.

These fearless guys...

This group of fearless fools.

Let's just watch from here.

It's a good way to stall for more time!

Just at this moment,

a reconnaissance-type professional suddenly had her expression change.

"Targets!"

"They are rushing toward our position at high speed!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at her.

Weiluote: "What's the number?"

The reconnaissance girl pressed her hands to the ground, her eyes tightly shut:

"They're moving too fast to sense, but I can confirm it's no more than a hundred."

"Damn it! Then why are you so excited?" the Turkey Nation knight cursed angrily.

Hearing this news just now,

he had truly been given a fright.

How could one not be afraid of an insect swarm that could kill Eagle Nation professionals?!

If there really were insects skilled in underground combat,

he would run faster than that previous bunch!

The reconnaissance girl said timidly: "But... but..."

The Turkey Nation knight impatiently interrupted:

"Don't 'but' me."

"A hundred of them isn't even enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of our million-strong swarm!"

"Tell us when it's over five hundred thousand or two hundred thousand."

Before he could finish speaking,

the reconnaissance girl couldn't take it anymore,

turned around, and ran for her life.

"What are you doing!?" everyone was shocked.

The girl didn't look back, screaming:

"Not even a hundred lord-level monsters! Even if they can't kill a million-strong swarm, finding us and killing us would be easy!"

"Damn!"

Everyone's faces changed drastically, and with almost no hesitation,

they all turned and ran.

Just at this moment,

the insect swarm above suddenly let out shrill hisses.

As they reached a depth of about a hundred meters underground,

a kind of unknown liquid began to seep down from the soil at an extremely fast speed.

This liquid

seemed as if it were alive,

and its seepage speed grew faster and faster.

When the liquid touched the insects,

it spread outward from the point of contact.

Corrosion.

The hard exoskeletons, under this liquid, were like cotton meeting water, rapidly dissolving and turning into blood!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The shrill hissing sounds were continuous.

This feeling of flesh and blood melting bit by bit

was much more painful than having one's head ripped off!

One insect was dissolved into blood,

then two,

ten,

a hundred,

a thousand, ten thousand!

All the insects digging the tunnel were dissolved into blood!

Sub-Liquid Demon Insects:

Level 80 lord-level monsters.

Their stats among lord-level monsters weren't top-tier, even being at the bottom,

and they didn't have many skills,

but they were the underground 'guards' of the Demon Insect race,

blocking any creature that dared to try and attack the Insect Mother from underground.

Even sixth-turn or seventh-turn professionals had to avoid their edge!

Let alone these thirty or forty-level insects.

In a few breaths,

tens of thousands of insects were dissolved into blood.

The blood, mixed with the highly toxic liquid,

poured down along the tunnel.

"Damn it! What is that!?" Weiluote turned back and saw a horrifying sight.

Wasn't it supposed to be a level 80 lord-level monster?

What was this pitch-black slime?

Having dissolved so much blood,

the transparent liquid had already turned pitch-black.

They watched helplessly as

the insects that touched the liquid

turned into part of the liquid within seconds.

"Run!"

Everyone's faces were filled with terror, wishing they could grease their feet and run.

*Splat!

The soil on both sides of the tunnel suddenly broke open.

An insect resembling a centipede

bit down on a professional's head.

Everyone felt their throats tighten.

【- (Critical Hit!)】

"Lord-level monster..."

The reconnaissance girl who had run first, because her agility wasn't high, ended up at the very back of the team.

Watching this centipede-like insect, its abdomen rolling,

"The head was eaten?"

The reconnaissance girl's face turned deathly pale.

Everyone who could come here was the top professional of their country,

a top talent.

There were two types of people:

one was similar to Ji Nie Yuan...

There are two types of people.

One type is similar to Ji Nie Yuan.
