Chapter 44 Protection
That was a mountain of flesh.
A living mountain, five hundred meters high, made up of countless flesh, shells, tentacles, and compound eyes.
Its lower part is deeply rooted in the seabed, like a huge network of tree roots, drawing on the planet's last geothermal energy.
Its upper part was bloated and its countless ovipositors resembled gaping mouths, constantly spewing out insect eggs.
As soon as the insect eggs land, they hatch into new larvae.
Join the endless swarm of insects.
And at the very top of that mountain of flesh.
There is a huge main eye that emits a scarlet light.
It was half-closed.
It's like it's asleep.
It's as if it's looking down on the world that it has swallowed up.
Mother insect.
The source of this planet's nightmares.
The existence of a breeding order-level entity.
"this……"
Hoshino looked up.
My neck is sore.
Her mouth was wide enough to fit an apple.
How do we fight this?
Is this the kind of thing where the health bar is so big it covers the entire screen?
Even if I used all my strength, I probably wouldn't be able to trim its paws!
And those guards...
Around the mother insect.
Countless true hibernating insects were densely packed and swirling around.
That was a real "black and red cloud".
They form the first line of defense.
It is also the most deadly line of defense.
"Gulp."
Xingye swallowed hard.
"Um... Ms. Nguyen Mai."
"Are you sure this dosage of your... what... gene toxin is enough?"
"I think we'd probably need to get a shipment the size of a tanker truck, right?"
Dosage is not an issue.
Nguyen Mai looked at the enormous mother worm.
His brows furrowed slightly.
"The problem is... how do we get it in?"
"Its skin is covered with a high-intensity biofield."
"And those real stinging insects around..."
She pointed to the guards, who were as dense as clouds.
"As soon as we show our faces."
"That jammer will then become ineffective."
"Then……"
"We will be submerged."
As Nguyen Mai said.
While everyone was still shocked by the size of the mother insect.
That shielding device that was constantly emitting blue light.
It suddenly flickered twice.
zizi.
The light dimmed.
"Oh no!"
The messenger exclaimed in surprise.
"The reproductive energy concentration here is too high!"
"The signal jammer is overloaded!"
"We're going to riot..."
Snapped.
A soft sound.
The jammer was completely shut down.
That instant.
The atmosphere around them was originally quite "harmonious".
changed.
Countless pairs of compound eyes that were originally just wandering around.
They all turned around in unison.
He stared intently at these few "outcasts" who had suddenly appeared.
silence.
A brief silence.
then.
"hiss--!!!"
A deafening roar echoed through the deep sea.
That was the battle cry of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of true hibernating insects at the same time.
The once peaceful sea of insects.
Boiling.
Countless insects swarmed like sharks that had smelled blood.
They surged wildly towards the crowd.
"Prepare for battle!"
Dan Heng shouted loudly.
The Cloud-Striking Spear instantly appeared in his hand.
A blue dragon shadow hovered at the tip of the spear.
"There's no time to make a plan!"
Xing threw away the useless jammer in his hand.
He pulled out the Flame Spear.
Golden flames ignited in the deep sea, illuminating the hideous insect faces around them.
Listen up!
"Star shouted."
"This thing is too big; we can't push it as a group!"
"We must disperse our firepower!"
"I'll distract the one on the left!"
"Teacher Danheng, the right side is yours now!"
"March... no, Sister Changyeyue, you're in charge of the area above!"
"Ms. Nguyen Mai, find an opportunity to break in!"
"What about Hoshino?"
On the seventh day of the third month (the long night moon), open the parasol.
Several blood-red jellyfish appeared around, their tentacles flailing, instantly freezing the few stinging insects that lunged at them into ice sculptures.
"What about her fragile body, and that burden she's carrying?"
"I……"
Hoshi glanced at the messenger beside her, who was so frightened that he was almost curled up into a ball.
Then I looked around at the overwhelming swarms of insects.
She gritted her teeth.
Although it only has one hand.
Although my body is as weak as a sheet of paper.
Although I was terrified.
But she still managed to grab the messenger's hand.
He pulled it behind him.
"I'm watching it!"
"It's Hoshi!" Hoshi shouted.
"You guys go and fight the big one!"
"Leave this to me!"
"Is it for you?"
Xing turned around and glanced back.
His face was full of distrust.
"Are you sure? How many can you take on with one hand?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Hoshi waved his left hand.
A pale golden shield of light appeared around her and the messenger.
That is the power of "preservation".
Although faint.
But it remains strong.
"I'm a family bucket!"
Don't underestimate my inventory!
"Go quickly!"
"OK!"
Xing no longer hesitated.
She knew this was the only way.
If these guards aren't lured away, no one can get close to the mother insect.
"superior!"
boom!
Xing took the lead, his Flame Spear creating a fiery dragon as he charged into the dense swarm of insects on the left.
Dan Heng transformed into a streak of azure light and charged toward the right.
The long night moon drifted gracefully upwards, while red jellyfish, like the tentacles of death, reaped lives.
Nguyen Mai, like a ghost, searched for the mother insect's weakness amidst the chaos.
The once crowded little circle instantly emptied.
Only the star remains.
And that trembling messenger.
and also……
Directly in front of them was a group of real stinging insects that hadn't been lured away and were staring at them with drool in their eyes.
"squeak……"
The envoy looked at the dozen or so large creatures approaching.
Desperate.
"It's over..."
"We're doomed..."
"I knew it was time to go..."
"Shut up!"
Hoshi let out a low growl.
She stood before the messenger.
The empty right sleeve fluttered in the water.
But her back view.
At this moment.
Yet it appeared exceptionally tall.
"As long as I haven't fallen."
Hoshi raised his left hand.
A chaotic yet dangerous mass of destiny energy gathered in his palm.
"I won't let you die."
The voice just fell.
A real stinging insect pounced on it.
Its scythe-like forelimbs pierced straight into the chest of the star.
Come on!
Instead of retreating, the star advances.
She has no weapons.
Her only weapon is this body.
And those seventeen forces that were surging wildly within her body, ready to explode at any moment.
boom!
She clenched her left fist.
It slammed hard onto the insect's carapace.
The hardness enhanced by "preservation" and the destructive power bestowed by "destruction".
In addition, there is the infinite restorative power provided by "Abundance".
Click.
The insect's head was smashed open.
Green bodily fluid sprayed all over Hoshino's face.
"Pooh!"
She spat out the fishy taste in her mouth.
His eyes were as fierce as a wild beast's.
"Next!"
The messenger looked at the human blocking his way.
Watching her repel monsters several times her size time and time again with just one hand.
Watching her constantly acquire new wounds and see them heal.
Its compound eyes.
Something is flashing.
That is……
It had seen it in that dreamlike memory.
A light called "Guardian".
