Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 187 Escape

"boom!"

With a dull thud, the upper body, severed at the waist, crashed to the ground.

But the next moment.

From the broken end where the insects had flown, large black worms scattered out and landed on the ground with a series of chirping sounds.

Everyone present, including Bing and Ding, as well as Fox Tail, was taken aback.

However, the fox tail, which was on all fours with a long sword in its mouth, glared angrily and quickly realized what was happening.

She raised her long-fingered hands and swung them left and right, tearing all the insects around her to shreds.

Looking at the black-robed man lying on the ground, broken in two, she stuck her buttocks out high and let out a series of intimidating growls from her throat.

"Woo... Awooo!"

He growled as he slowly retreated, moving his limbs.

Compared to her quick wit, the other two were not so lucky.

After the insects fell to the ground, they quickly stretched out and rushed towards the two of them.

Furthermore, along the way, there were even more of the same gray insects on the ground and walls, attacking the two from all directions.

"Damn it! What are all these things?!"

"Ah!! These bugs are eating my flesh!!"

As the two came into contact, the sheer number of insects was enough to overwhelm them.

The magical weapons they held were thrown into disarray, and they could only attack haphazardly.

One insect after another was killed, but more insects swarmed up, climbing up the clothes and quickly engulfing most of the body.

The two could only tear at the ever-growing number of gray insects swarming over them while shouting for help.

Some of the black-clad henchmen who were nearby ran in and opened fire without hesitation upon seeing the scene.

But after killing a few insects, they too were submerged.

"Fox Tail!! Quick!! Help me!!!"

At this moment, one of them had already been knocked to the ground by the insects and was completely submerged; he was clearly beyond saving.

This made Yue Ding, who was struggling desperately, feel his soul go blank. He couldn't care about anything else and shouted for help to the pink-haired girl who had retreated to the corner of the room.

However, he was met with a crisp sound of shattering glass.

"boom!"

Under the astonished gazes of the other black-robed men who had arrived, and Yue Ding.

Landing on all fours, the fox with the sword in its mouth leaped forward and smashed through a nearby window without hesitation, escaping.

The movements were crisp and clean, without any hesitation or slackness.

Only now, feeling the increasingly painful bites from the insects, did Yue Ding realize what had happened.

"Fox Tail—!! Have you forgotten the patriarch's orders! Come back now!!"

However, the chirping soon stopped abruptly, and a swarm of insects surged in, engulfing all living things in the room…

Eyes raised.

At that moment, from the shadows on the roof of the building, a series of intermittent thumping sounds came, and the ground rose up and piled up.

Soon, a black-robed figure, exactly the same as the one who had just been cut in half at the waist, reappeared.

However, this time he was wearing a disgusting mask that looked like it was made of insects.

The ant, having reformed its form, watched the pink figure leap away among the buildings in the night, but did not give chase.

Instead, after the screams from the room below subsided, he turned his gaze to the people on the defensive line who were completely unaware of the gunfire.

A hoarse laugh, full of malice, emanated from within.

"...Heh heh heh, perfect timing, the Gu worms have been used up quite a bit lately..."

"...Then let's breed some more of you..."

As he spoke, his scaly hand with sharp nails pulled a small, porcelain-white bottle from his black robe.

It was covered with all sorts of winding and convoluted ancient Chinese characters.

Immediately, the ant's entire body sank back into the ground.

In an instant, the noisy gunfire on this bustling pedestrian street near the river abruptly stopped.

The next moment, screams of agony replaced the previous clamor.

However, under the cover of the torrential rain and thunder, everything quickly returned to calm.

...

at this time.

Another place.

"Dingling bell~"

A communicator rang, and Xuanwu, who was in the middle of a discussion, suddenly paused.

However, he still picked it up and took a look, discovering it was a message from the mission's public channel.

The initiator's profile picture is a chibi-style fox head.

This made him pause in surprise.

"A fox tail? What's this little girl up to now..."

Although I felt in my heart that the other party had probably come up with something again, acting on a whim.

But given the seriousness of the task at hand, I answered the call to avoid missing any important information.

Before he could ask anything, a series of urgent shouts came from within.

"Big guy!! There's a bad guy! Those three stubborn fools got eaten by bugs! Black robe! Token! Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

"???"

Hearing the string of incoherent words, Xuanwu was filled with questions.

His unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of the others around him.

Baihu was familiar with him and was the first to ask a question.

"Xuanwu, whose message is this?"

"If it's not important, let's wait a bit. The envoy is carrying the family head's orders, and we're waiting to receive them."

His tone carried a hint of urging.

After saying this, the white tiger, holding an umbrella, turned around and gave an apologetic smile to the black-robed envoy in front of him, who was about the same height as him after his transformation.

"Please forgive me, Special Envoy, but I am verifying your identity to ensure the mission goes smoothly."

In response to his apologetic gesture, the ant wearing the same mask simply chuckled hoarsely, his tone completely unconcerned.

"Hehe, it's nothing. You did a good job. Being meticulous and careful is always the right thing to do..."

As he spoke, he glanced discreetly at Xuanwu, who was constantly communicating with the communicator to the side.

Clearly, they hadn't noticed this side.

He then straightened his gaze, met the white tiger's questioning eyes, and slowly raised his hand.

"special envoy?"

Just then, he couldn't help but voice his doubts.

next moment.

"Wow!"

A gust of wind blew by.

Suddenly, a raindrop fell, hitting the hand holding the umbrella.

"Bah!"

"Ah!! How could this be?!"

Before the white tiger could react in pain, a torrential downpour began to pelt him.

In an instant, it felt like being hit by a dense layer of sulfuric acid; amidst the continuous corrosive sounds, excruciating burning pain spread throughout my body.

"what!!!"

"My umbrella? What?!"

He was caught off guard by the sudden pain and cried out in agony when he noticed that the specially made umbrella he was holding had somehow broken off.

This is not normal at all.

This umbrella was designed with combat in mind from the very beginning.

They are made of high-strength alloys that do not take weight into account, so they cannot be damaged by ordinary scratches or wind and rain.

However, he had no time to hesitate and could only quickly gather his thoughts and transform back into human form to avoid the rain continuing to scorch him.

As the body rapidly shrinks.

The pain all over my body had just subsided, and I hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Pfft!"

The next moment, I felt a sharp pain in my chest.

Staring blankly down, he saw a scaly hand piercing his chest and still twitching.

Despite his weakened state and the corrosive effects of the rain, he was powerless to lift his hand to grasp the sharp claw piercing his chest.

At this moment, Baihu felt as if he had been put back into his old, decaying body, with no strength or ability to resist.

All I could feel was life slipping away rapidly.

Finally, his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked up at the person who had attacked him.

"Special envoy?! You!... Ugh!"

Before he could ask the question, he suddenly vomited out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Then everything went black, and he collapsed to the ground, completely limp.

"How dare you?!"

At this moment, Xuanwu, who had noticed the commotion, immediately realized that something was wrong.

He took out a pebble, which instantly expanded and transformed into a giant rock.

With a whooshing sound, it smashed horizontally towards the person standing in front of the white tiger.

Just don't know why.

The black-robed man, who claimed to be a special envoy, did not dodge but instead took the blow head-on.

"boom--!"

Amidst the collision of exploding raindrops.

His body was instantly smashed and sent flying backward.

Xuanwu did not pursue, but quickly bent down and helped up the white tiger, whose upper body was covered in blood, to check the situation.

But the moment he reached out his finger, he shuddered, realizing the other person was already dead, lifeless. Xuanwu's eyes widened, his chest heaving violently.

There was anger at the death of a comrade, but even more so, there was the shame of being betrayed and the regret that the mission was about to be ruined.

Quickly compose yourself and stand up straight again.

Behind the mask, his eyes were filled with rage as he looked at the black-robed man slowly rising from the ground in the distance, without uttering a word.

In an instant, without warning.

With its bulging muscles bulging, its body, like a chariot carrying two rocks weighing several tons, swiftly and thunderously charged forward.

"You dare to lie to us?! Where did you get that token?! Where is Patriarch Yue?!"

They approached rapidly, shouting questions in a stern voice.

The ant, standing still, completely ignored the momentum of the other party's charge and made a nonchalant comment.

"Heh heh, quick reaction time! Much better than that brainless old man..."

Xuanwu, who rushed closer, was enraged to hear that the person who killed his companion was now arrogantly mocking him.

He raised the huge rock in his hand and brought it down with a whoosh, intending to smash the other person into a pulp.

However, the wind pressure was already making the other party's black robe flutter, but he still showed no sign of trying to dodge.

This made Xuanwu secretly more vigilant, to prevent the other party from having other strange methods.

The next instant, a giant rock, accompanied by wind and rain, approached.

Just then, the black-robed figure who had been standing still suddenly raised a hand and pointed at the rock that was already close to his face.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound followed.

In an instant, the seemingly indestructible rock shattered before Xuanwu's horrified eyes.

Among them, several disgusting, gray, and savory insects were also scattered.

Xuanwu felt his hand suddenly go empty; his seemingly certain strike instantly turned into an opening, and he couldn't stop in time.

"Pfft!"

The ant did not miss this opportunity and directly raised its hand to stab at the opponent's left chest.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Xuanwu gritted his teeth and desperately twisted his body.

The sharp claws missed the heart, but instead tore a long, bloody gash in the side of the shoulder, from which blood gushed out.

Fortunately, it wasn't fatal.

"Humph!"

Seeing the ants lunge at him again after his attack failed, Xuanwu grunted, clutched his wound, and retreated without lingering.

With a wave of his hand, ten small stones identical to those in his hand shot out.

"Boom boom boom!"

With a series of muffled thuds, the ten small stones instantly grew larger, took root, and merged with each other.

In a few breaths, a thick rock wall that partially surrounded him rose out of thin air.

Xuanwu then took out a small medicine bottle from his waist, sprinkled the powder on the wound to quickly stop the bleeding, and then sweat beaded on his forehead.

But he still forced himself to stay upright, holding the last giant rock in his hand, and looked around warily.

His eyes were filled with solemnity.

This is a last resort, but there's no other way.

Judging from that person's performance just now, his strength is no less than mine.

Now that he is injured, he is at a disadvantage whether he tries to outmaneuver the opponent or confront them head-on.

If you set up a defense in place and play the style you prefer, you might still have a chance of winning.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a rustling sound.

Without hesitation, he forcefully hurled the rock in his hand toward the source of the sound.

"boom!!"

"Paji~"

A dull thud.

Looking at the ground where it crashed, you could see that an insect that had been hit had been instantly squeezed and burst, spraying colorful juices everywhere.

Xuanwu was taken aback for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

"...You cunning little...uh!"

Before he could finish speaking, the thick rock wall behind him suddenly shattered with a cracking sound.

A dense swarm of insects erupted forth.

In an instant, it climbed up the tall figures that had their backs to them.

As it chews, strips of flesh are torn off.

Large clumps of blood were washed away by the torrential rain.

Already injured and exhausted from this all-out attack, Xuanwu was immediately overwhelmed by hundreds of insects.

The arm that finally managed to lift was quickly devoured within moments.

After the insects retreated, only a tall skeleton and some scattered, broken metal armor remained in the muddy water.

Meanwhile, the insects that had eaten their fill and were noticeably swollen began to rapidly pile up and squeeze each other.

Pieces of black cloth were stretched out.

However, due to their swollen size and excessive number, in the end, two identical, tall, thin insect-like figures draped in black robes stood out.

Their movements were synchronized; their gazes simultaneously shifted from the skeletons on the ground to the defensive line beside them, where gunfire was constantly erupting.

next moment.

Their bodies sank underground and disappeared.

soon.

The gunfire gradually subsided.

A scream suddenly erupted.

...

The camera pans.

at this time.

It's raining heavily.

Due to the evacuation of people, the streets were pitch black and deathly silent.

A pink figure darted quickly through the streets.

"Wait, wait, wait!! Why is it so quiet?! Big guy!! There's a bug! A huge one! I'm running!"

"I made the call, so this doesn't count as me running away without cause!!"

Seeing that there was no reply from the other end of the communicator for a long time, Foxtail stopped paying attention.

He simply tossed his hand aside and began running at full speed, increasing his speed even further.

As it accelerated, a pair of ears with pink tips and a tuft of crimson fluffy tail appeared out of nowhere.

With this long tail, almost as long as her body, she became even more agile.

As he ran, he leaped onto a low building and, with a few more jumps, headed towards a deserted factory area in the distance.

"So fast! So fast! So fast! Brother Yan!! I've come to join you!!!"

The shouts faded into the rain, and the figures gradually disappeared into the distance.

...

And now.

The last defense zone.

The abandoned factories that were once deserted and awaiting demolition are now unusually bustling.

A fully loaded oil tanker truck was now hurtling straight toward the center of the horde of corpses.

After crushing the zombies on the outside, it must have been damaged in some part, because it flipped over and plowed a large clearing in the horde of zombies.

"boom!"

With a sniper rifle blast, a specially designed bullet flew towards the canister.

next moment.

"boom!!"

A loud explosion followed, and a wave of heat swept past.

The scorching fuel was splashed onto the surrounding horde of zombies, and it continued to burn stubbornly even in the torrential rain.

A series of closely coordinated actions.

This measure temporarily halted the surging, endless army of zombies.

And saw this scene.

Not far away, on a dump truck used as a temporary protective barrier.

Ning Bing, wearing a blue and white mask, also put down her binoculars and let out a deep sigh of relief.

He then turned his head and looked at a gap in the distance, a gap that had been recently breached by zombies.

At that moment, Xiao Yan, dressed in a disheveled red suit, was struggling to defend himself by igniting flames with his magical artifact.

The zombies charged into the wall of fire like madmen, but were held back by the suppressive fire from both sides and gradually burned to ashes.

They managed to hold on, but the opponent continued to unleash powerful magical weapons, and their energy couldn't sustain them for long.

The measures Ning Bing just devised have cut off the zombies' subsequent advance, giving them some breathing room.

If we eliminate the remaining zombies and then bring in a few more vehicles to block the breach, we can hold out for a while longer.

At this point, we were very close to the expected time.

If we can hold on for another half hour, we can complete the boss's instructions and finally leave this place.

But just as she finished doing all that and her expression relaxed,

A rustling sound suddenly came from behind Ning Bing.

This caused his relaxed expression to immediately turn serious, and he turned around quickly to look.

The view was shrouded in shadow.

A slender, inhuman figure in a black robe slowly moved out.

He had no idea when they had sneaked in to within ten meters of him!
Startled, I quickly stepped back to create some distance.

He drank loudly.

“Who are you!!”
