Chapter 3002

Insect blood dripped along the tip of Checking Zhan Long Shan. The 【Soul Locking Lamp】 hanging at Su Xiao's waist was revealing a faint light because it had absorbed soul power. Although the light was not strong, it was barely enough to see the situation nearby.

Su Xiao walked in front, and Yueling was behind. The width of the tunnel was limited. If both of them attacked at the same time, they would only interfere with each other.

The location where Su Xiao is now is the marginal area of "Anlu." The map about this place had become invalid many years ago. Corrupted insects rarely attack each other unless they are hungry to an unbearable degree. The nature retained after corruption makes most insects drill holes randomly.

At the current stage, Su Xiao just needs to keep going down. First, he must reach the Black Nest. The Wolf Spider Queen is just below the Black Nest. This is not a secret, and many people outside know it.

The Wolf Spider Queen advocates opening the seal and fighting the Ancient God to the death. And opening the seal means that the Wolf Spider Queen will be the first to die, so she stays below the Black Nest. Only by killing her way through can one see her and take her life.

Zheng, Zheng, Zheng...

Pale blue blade light slashed by, and the corrupted insects rushing toward Su Xiao hissed and were slashed to pieces. Most of these corrupted insects were of the Ant race. After being corrupted, their appearance changed greatly, and their whole bodies grew uneven sharp thorns.

The blade edge cut through the shell, and Su Xiao only felt very little resistance. If Checking Zhan Long Shan could be inlaid with three Immortal-grade gems, the lethality would increase greatly, and then he would be more confident in dealing with that Ancient God.

Su Xiao ran quickly. The terrain of the underground passage was intricate, and corrupted enemies could rush out from any corner. After Su Xiao's perception circle was opened, although it only had a perception range of more than ten meters, it won by high perception sensitivity and would not be ambushed by enemies in the darkness.

The long knife in Su Xiao's hand slashed continuously, and insect blood splattered. There were more corrupted insects in the underground passage than imagined. Every time one rushed out, enemies hidden in the surrounding branch passages might surround Su Xiao.

After ten minutes of advancing, Su Xiao stopped. The pungent smell of insect blood spread around him, which was somewhat sour in the fishy smell.

He tore a wriggling worm from his sleeve and pinched its head with two fingers with a pop, and the juice splattered.

"Yueling."

"..."

It was silent behind him. Su Xiao turned around to look, and Yueling had already disappeared somewhere. He killed too fast and lost Yueling.

At the same time, in a certain passage, the blade gun pried open the head of a giant bee. Yueling kicked the giant bee's corpse away and ran forward quickly. The underground passage reached its end, and faint light shone from the front.

"Where is this? It looks a bit familiar."

Yueling looked at the large area of buildings ahead, and a single-car train drove past her. Seeing this scene, she was stunned.

"Not good!"

Yueling returned along the original path. Before long, she found a large number of insect corpses scattered on the ground. Following the large amount of insect blood on the ground, Yueling began to track Su Xiao.

The more she tracked, the more solemn Yueling's expression became. It might be because there were too many insect corpses blocking the way. These corpses were all shattered by blood energy, and the shells were nailed into the surrounding walls. Broken meat and fresh blood also covered them, which gave Yueling the feeling that she was walking in a flesh-and-blood tunnel.

Yueling ran at full speed. After running for more than ten minutes, the flesh-and-blood tunnel reached its end. A circular hole appeared on the ground ahead. The width of this hole was about two meters, straight down.

Yueling hugged the blade gun in her arms, crossed her arms, and jumped straight into the hole, starting to fall rapidly.

After falling for nearly a hundred meters, Yueling stepped on the "ground." With a crisp click, she crushed a piece of shell, and her lower body was submerged in an object that was slippery and had a disgusting temperature.

Yueling looked down. What reached her waist was not other things, but the corpses of various corrupted insects. Some corpses were cut into dozens of segments, and some were cut open from the abdomen, with smooth cut surfaces like mirrors.

Yueling thought she had fallen on a pile of corpses. She used the faint light of the light vines above to look around. The scene before her made her eyes widen and her pupils shrink rapidly.

At this time, the place where Yueling was located was an underground space of thousands of square meters. The top was covered with light vines, and below, it was covered with the corpses of various corrupted insects. It was not just one layer, but a pile of corpses half a meter deep at the edge, getting higher toward the center, eventually forming a huge pile of corpses.

"Yueling, not only is your brain not very smart, but you also have no sense of direction. Follow closely next time."

Baha detached from the different space, and Yueling only then came back to her senses.

"These... were all killed by you guys?!"

"No, it was killed by the boss himself. He is already on the eighth floor below."

"Uh~"

Yueling scratched her head. Before, she always thought she could fight Su Xiao to a draw. Now it seems that is not the case.

"How much further to the Black Nest?"

"Don't sleepwalk, this is the first floor of the Black Nest. Let's go."

Baha flew to the inner side of the first floor of the Black Nest, signaling Yueling to jump into the hole. Below the hole was the second floor of the Black Nest.

Yueling jumped down. After a few seconds of falling, she fell into the pile of corpses with a thud again. The second floor was even more tragic than the first.

The walls were covered with slash marks. A mantis over three meters tall stood above the pile of corpses in the center. Its two blade-foot forelimbs were behind its back, and the blade feet already had the texture of metal. Its four hind legs were in a kneeling position, and its head was slashed off.

Seeing this scene, Yueling imagined a picture: a man with red light in his eyes, holding a knife in one hand, stood on top of the pile of corpses, while the mantis warrior, who was seriously injured and knew he would lose, folded his blade feet, knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and welcomed the death of a warrior with the last bit of reason left.

Tick, tick~

The insect blood from the previous floor dripped down along the hole in the ceiling. Yueling calmed her mood and came to the hole leading to the third floor of the Black Nest, jumping into it.

Yueling fell for a few seconds. As soon as her feet touched the ground, a slippery feeling came from under her feet. If she hadn't been agile, she might have sat on the ground.

There were not many insect corpses on this floor, but they were all mantis warriors. Yueling was very curious about how these corrupted mantis warriors gathered here.

In fact, on each floor of the Black Tide, there are openable passages on both sides, which is someone deliberately setting up layers of obstacles here.

Yueling began to go down floor by floor. The fourth floor was also full of mantis warrior corpses, but there were more of them. The fifth floor was a type of wolf spider wrapped in a shell on its body surface. The body length of these wolf spiders was over four meters, and some areas were intertwined with spider silk. These spider silks were thinner than hair and extremely sharp.

Before long, Yueling fell to the seventh floor. There were no more insect corpses on the seventh floor, but a type of humanoid monster with an exoskeleton on its head and a pitch-black body. Some monsters had a pair of wings on their backs, and some monsters had blade arms of mantis warriors.

Yueling knew what this was. This was an insect warrior transformed after high corruption. The general form was similar, with an exoskeleton on the head, a pitch-black body, and an overall humanoid shape. The only difference was that they would retain the strongest attack or defense means.

A roaring sound came from below, and one could vaguely hear the hissing of insect warriors. Fighting was going on in the eighth floor of the Black Nest. Noticing this, Yueling quickly came to the hole. Just as she was about to jump down, she found that Bubu Wang and Baha were both nearby.

"Aren't you going to help?"

"Wang?"

"I don't want to die."

Hearing Baha's words, Yueling was angry in her heart. How could one be afraid of death in battle? She misjudged this bird.

"Then I'll go."

Yueling unhooked the blade gun behind her back and jumped down. A few seconds later, Yueling stepped on solid ground. At the moment of landing, she knew what Baha's "I don't want to die" meant. That was not being afraid of death, but being afraid of being killed by mistake.

Zheng!

Pale blue ring-shaped slash light spread, and insect warriors were slashed back, while more rushed toward the center regardless of their lives.

With a clatter, the blade gun in Yueling's hand was held horizontally in front of her. Fortunately, she reacted in time, but just as she was retreating with her feet plowing the ground, pale blue electric arcs exploded from the center, rushing wildly toward the surroundings. Not only that, the blade edge made of crystals formed a large piece of blade chain, which was spreading toward the surroundings.

"Blade Dao Knife · Super · Ring Break."

Zheng!

The crisp sound of slashing spread, and more than a dozen insect warriors who couldn't dodge in time were slashed into two halves. Even so, they still rushed toward the center with their upper bodies.

Just as the ring-shaped slash light ended, the surrounding blade chains began to close toward the center. Yueling, holding the blade gun, stood in the corner. She was stunned, unable to figure out why she had come down.
