Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

Perhaps because he was unfamiliar with the place, or perhaps because he had something on his mind, Shen Mingchao tossed and turned, unable to sleep soundly. He simply got up, put on a coat, sprayed on mosquito repellent, grabbed a small stool, opened the door, and went out into the yard.

Unlike the humid heat of Fujian, the summer nights here aren't so hot; a gentle breeze makes them quite comfortable.

"Buzz...buzz...buzz..."

The sound of cicadas could be heard continuously in the woods.

The stars twinkled in the night sky, and the full moon hung in the sky, big and round, its bright moonlight spilling down like water.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the countryside at night is exceptionally pleasant.

Shen Mingchao took a deep breath, and the fragrance of grass, trees and soil wafted towards him.

Then came the rustling sound of footsteps.

Yoho~

Is Huaimin still awake?

Looking in the direction of the sound, he understood: "Xiao Qiu, sometimes I really want you to take the surveillance camera that's installed on me off."

The young man approached slowly, his words revealing a deep understanding of her feelings: "Sister, is something on your mind?"

"Hmm... I guess so." Silence fell. It wasn't bad to chat with someone if you couldn't sleep. Shen Mingchao leaned back against a wooden pillar. "Tomorrow I'm going into the Blind Tomb. I don't know what kind of trouble I'll encounter. People get anxious when facing the unknown."

Her eyes flashed with a cold light, and her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched into fists: "That damned Wang Zhi, ambushing us on the mountain road. After all these years, he hasn't improved at all, only knowing how to ambush people from behind. I really want to smash that kid's head in!"

A pair of warm hands loosely held her fist.

Qi Qiu's voice became even more tender.

"Sister, don't worry."

"He's just a clown, believe me, we'll win."

Shen Mingchao knew that Qi Qiu was playing the prophet again. He guessed that she thought Qi Qiu was insecure, so she was trying to reassure her.

He chuckled softly.

"Yeah, I know. We're practically home now, there's no reason to be scared. Grasshoppers always jump around more enthusiastically in autumn, you know."

Shen Mingchao's gaze was deep and mysterious. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a blurry figure flash by. She moved extremely fast, and after aiming carefully, she flicked the flame from her fingertip, hitting the bullseye. The poisonous mosquito was quickly extinguished in the flame.

"This fire..." Qi Qiu's smile deepened, "may come in very handy."

Shen Mingchao raised an eyebrow: ?

I had a feeling that Qi Qiu's words had a hidden meaning.

The Blind Tomb has the most insects, does she think her fire can burn them? But is such a wide-area attack something a human lighter can do?

Damn it!

It's simply impossible!

The blind tomb has practically stirred up a hornet's nest!

After applying special eye drops, everyone was able to see clearly once they entered the Blind Tomb, and they could also clearly see the overwhelming swarms of insects.

A faint yet dense sound of flapping wings echoed from the depths of the dense forest. Millions of insects swarmed out of their nests, forming a dark, dense mass like flowing ink clouds, sweeping towards them and instantly creating an encirclement.

Shen Mingchao threw fire off each of his ten fingers one by one.

The boss has 100% health, and each of her actions only deals 0.1 damage.

(╬•̀　•́)

If I am guilty, let the police punish me instead of making me use my magic touch to scrape the worms!

Fortunately, she had stockpiled enough insecticide.

Distribute one bottle to each person.

But insects are everywhere, crawling all over the place. They are small, so as soon as one batch is left behind, another batch comes.

Everyone was patient and tireless.

The fat man tossed down an empty can of insecticide, pulled out some gunpowder from his backpack, and asked, "Can I use this to blast them to death?"

Wu Xie solemnly instructed, "Fatty, if you're going to throw, at least aim carefully, don't hit us."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

The gunpowder flew in a perfect parabola, heading straight for the area with the highest concentration of insects. However, something strange happened. Just as the gunpowder was about to hit the ground, for some unknown reason, the aircraft carrier suddenly turned around and flew back in the opposite direction.

It landed right at Wu Xie's feet.

"Hiss..." The fuse sparked and flashed all the way.

Wu Xie's eyes widened, his mind filled with profanities, but before he could utter a word, his instinctive reaction was to run.

But then the evil force struck again, and his right foot stepped on a rock, almost causing him to fall flat on his face.

Fortunately, my teammates were very supportive.

Shen Mingchao steadied Wu Xie with lightning speed, lifted him up in a princess carry, and ran away.

The other one was Li Cu, who was closest and had top-notch emergency response skills. He picked up the grenade as quickly as possible and threw it far away.

"boom!"

The dead insects fell like rain, scattered in all directions.

"That bomb was brilliantly fired; it didn't kill a thousand enemies but also caused eight hundred casualties on its own," Wang Can said sarcastically, not forgetting to mock Wu Xie even while killing the insects.

Wu Xie gritted his teeth and gave the culprit, the fat man, a look. The latter scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.

"No, naive, it's really not my fault, I really aimed carefully before throwing!"

The fat man was eager to clarify: "Who knew the gunpowder would come back the way it came? Someone must be trying to harm us."

Gunpowder isn't a boomerang; it can't possibly travel back the way it came. This defies all common sense. It can only be said that some unknown force threw the gunpowder back at it.

The fat man's words make sense.

Wu Xie fell into deep thought when suddenly a resolute voice descended from above.

"He's here."

"Who?" Wu Xie asked instinctively, then a thought flashed through his mind: "That guy named Wang Zhi?"

"right."

Shen Mingchao put Wu Xie down and stared intently in one direction, where a "humanoid black ball" slowly swam over. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a humanoid insect ball!

The man's body was covered with countless insects, layer upon layer, with only his face showing.

Pale and colorless, with yellowish eyeballs, it was extremely frightening.

He mechanically opened his lips, producing a hoarse and unpleasant sound.

You guys are making a lot of noise, you woke me up!

Since that's the case, I should reciprocate. I've also prepared a gift for you, hehehe—

It didn't sound like anything nice.

Shen Mingchao frowned and tensed up, ready to respond to any unexpected situation, but suddenly found that the insects stopped attacking them and instead flew towards Wang Zhi.

Countless insects gathered together and flapped their wings at the same time.

Unlike the flapping of wings just now, which was chaotic, this sound is now very orderly, with varying pitches and a lingering, melodious quality.

What is he doing?

Do you direct insects to hold a concert?

Shen Mingchao couldn't understand it, but the gift Wang Zhi mentioned was definitely not that simple.

She didn't move when the enemy didn't move.

The next second, she lost her composure, and a group of people inexplicably started fighting each other.

She was stunned. Upon closer inspection, she saw that Wu Xie and the others had murderous intent in their eyes and were unresponsive when she called out to them; they had clearly lost their minds.

She got it!

The sound of flapping wings can bewitch people, making teammates mistake each other for enemies and causing them to kill each other. That is Wang Zhi's purpose!
