Paparo's eyes were sharper than a knife.

He gripped Scarface's neck, his fingers digging so hard they almost dug into the man's flesh.

He forced out a chilling warning through gritted teeth: "Shut up if you don't want to die!"

Scarface struggled to breathe, desperately trying to pry Paparo's hands off, but they were like iron clamps, impossible to budge.

In just a few seconds, Scar's eyeballs began to bulge, and his face turned purple due to lack of oxygen.

"Paparo, hurry up, don't let the robot bugs find us."

Chris's eyes were deep and sharp, and his hoarse voice revealed a hint of anxiety.

He had already used his mental power to survey the surroundings and confirmed that there were no traces of the mechanical insects outside for the time being.

But we still dare not let our guard down, since the actions of those robotic insects are unpredictable.

Hearing Admiral Chris's urging, Paparo slowly loosened his grip on the scar and pushed him forward.

As they approached the door, Paparo suddenly exerted his strength, lifted Scar's body, and threw him over without hesitation.

The air seemed to freeze; you could hear a pin drop.

All the insects held their breath, their heartbeats sounding exceptionally clear in the tranquil environment, as if they were about to leap out of their throats at any moment.

Finally, Scar's body safely passed through the hidden door and crashed heavily to the ground.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

But they still dared not make too much noise, for fear of attracting the attention of the mechanical insects.

Shi Yu's furrowed brows relaxed at this moment, and he picked Chris up by the waist.

A faint lemon scent wafted into his nostrils, its refreshing aroma making him feel invigorated, as if the entire dungeon had brightened up.

"My lord, I can walk by myself."

Chris's dry throat trembled.

The lord's embrace was so broad and warm that he was somewhat dazed.

In the past, he was always at the forefront of every mission.

While considering how to achieve victory, it is also necessary to ensure a safe retreat.

Even if injured, one must consider the safety of their companions.

I've never felt protected by insects before.

"Sweetie, don't move."

Shi Yu's voice was hoarse, and his arms tightened a little.

At the critical moment of escaping for his life, his body actually reacted.

Her proud self-control crumbled in front of Chris.

Watching Paparo easily leap onto the food cart and land steadily, Shi Yu secretly applauded his agility.

He quickly stepped forward and handed Chris, whom he was holding, to Paparo.

"You'd better catch it."

Paparo took Admiral Chris and gently put him down.

He held onto the food cart and reached out to pull Shi Yuxiongzi along.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to adjust the tarot."

Shi Yu turned around and looked at Tataro and Fran not far away.

He quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Can you walk by yourself? Do you need me to carry you?"

Tataro leaned against Fran and waved his hand, "I'm fine, I can still walk."

Shi Yu nodded. "You all go out first. I'll go release the male insects that are being held captive."

"Why should we care about them?" Tataro looked at Shi Yu with a puzzled expression. "What do those male insects have to do with us?"

Shi Yu chuckled and explained, "Letting them out to create chaos will allow us to escape in the confusion."

Tatarot listened and suddenly understood.

But I still have some concerns: "Isn't this too risky? What if the males turn around and attack us?"

Shi Yu frowned and remained silent for a moment.

He had barely opened his mouth when he said, "They're wearing mental energy suppression rings on their feet; they pose no threat to us."

Tataro hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll do as you say, but you have to be careful."

Shi Yu patted Tataro on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You guys run first, I'll be right behind you."

After saying that, he walked toward the cage where the male insects were imprisoned.

Feeling that the time was almost up, he used his mental power to open the cage.

He spoke coldly, "You only have one chance. Whether you stay or leave is up to you."

Regardless of the reaction of the male insect in the cage.

He then sprinted towards the hidden door at the speed of a hundred-meter dash.

After jumping off the food truck, withdraw your mental energy that was holding the food truck in place.

Outside was a long metal tunnel. Shi Yu did not stop; instead, his speed increased.

He heard hurried footsteps behind him, but he didn't turn around, his mind focused on reuniting with Chris and the others as soon as possible.

However, the most troublesome thing finally happened: two identical passages suddenly appeared ahead.

Furthermore, no markings were left on the walls or the ground.

This made Shi Yu's heart sink, and an ominous premonition welled up in his mind.

He stood there, hesitant and unsure which way to go.

Just then, five male insects caught up from behind.

They stared at each other for a few seconds without saying a word.

In that brief moment, a male insect, unable to contain its anxiety, resolutely rushed into the passage on the right.

The male insect disappeared at the end of the passage.

Then came a piercing scream, a sound that seemed to penetrate the insect's eardrums, sending chills down one's spine.

The remaining four male insects were secretly delighted, glad that they had escaped death. Without hesitation, they all squeezed into the left passage.

Shi Yu did not follow in their footsteps, but calmly stood still.

He thought to himself: Chris and the others couldn't possibly have left without leaving any clues.

So he began to search the passageway carefully, leaving no corner unchecked.

A large number of male insects escaped from behind, and these male insects panicked when they saw the two passages.

Unsure of which path to take, they all turned to Shi Yu, hoping to receive some guidance from him.

Shi Yu did not hide anything and met their gazes frankly.

He said frankly, "I don't know what to choose either. Just now, a bug chose the right-hand path and died."

The other four males chose the left-hand passage, which is currently safe.

No sooner had he finished speaking than something unexpected happened to the insect.

Desperate screams also came from the left passage!

A complex emotion flickered in Shi Yu's eyes.

He deeply regretted running back to save the insects.

If he hadn't done that back then, he would at least still be by Chris's side now.

Instead of being clueless like we are now.

"Look! The passage ahead has disappeared..."

A terrified scream came from the swarm of insects.

The sound was like lightning ripped through the night sky, instantly causing a stir.

The male insects, who had initially held onto a sliver of hope, were now plunged into utter despair and panic.

"How could this happen? We can't stay here any longer, everyone run back..."

"I really can't take it anymore. Rather than being locked up in this dark and gloomy dungeon, I'd rather just kill myself..."

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Shi Yu turned pale and his eyes dimmed.

He closed his eyes, but his mind was still functioning clearly.

He realized he had made a serious mistake.

He was wrong from the very beginning.
