Those who reincarnate must die.

Chapter 267 Into the Insect Nest

Even though the swarm of millions of insects huddled together, it still stretched for thousands of meters. Zhang Lang carefully made his way through the swarm, and after a series of close calls, he finally reached the central insect nest.

"It went surprisingly smoothly!"

After squeezing into the insect burrow, Zhang Lang breathed a sigh of relief. The burrows here were designed with very wide entrances to facilitate the entry and exit of most insects, and Zhang Lang nimbly squeezed in.

Looking out from the burrow entrance, the dense swarm of insects was completely still. It seemed these insects hibernated at night; there were no insects on duty…

But it was different inside the insect burrow... Zhang Lang pressed his ear against the burrow wall and listened carefully. He heard rustling sounds coming from deep inside the cave, indicating that there were a large number of insects moving around.

It seems there's no mistake, this main nest is the location of the Insect King. Because it's relatively close, the insects here can directly receive the Insect King's information without needing the Green Tree Insects, so they can also be active at night.

Zhang Lang lowered his movements and quietly crept deeper into the cave, soon spotting the busy insects.

However, the insects here are quite different from the menacing ones outside. Most of them have flat bodies and pincers, and they are busy carrying things back and forth. Some are pieces of soil and rocks, some are insect eggs, and some are even animal or human corpses.

These seem to be specialized worker insects, whose combat power is inferior to the combat insects outside; they are dedicated to providing labor!

Zhang Lang avoided the worker insects and advanced. Who knew what was hidden in this nest? Since the goal was to assassinate, he should try not to alert the enemy and strive to defeat them in one strike!

However, no matter how careful you are, mistakes are inevitable in a completely unfamiliar place...

Zhang Lang cautiously passed through the passage, unaware that a stone on the wall he had just passed had moved, revealing a black hole the size of a bowl. From inside, a segmented, soft tentacle slowly followed him from behind, then suddenly attacked!

brush!

Zhang Lang swung out his divine weapon, but the tentacle was severed before it even touched him, splattering purplish-red blood everywhere!

This alarmed the tentacles, and suddenly small holes appeared all around Zhang Lang, from which a large number of tentacles attacked him simultaneously!

Faced with these thick, long tentacles, Zhang Lang's divine weapon was too short. He drew his longsword, recalling the sword techniques Feng Xi had taught him over the past few days. With flashes of light, he instantly carved a bloody path through the encirclement of tentacles, then used his flying legs to charge forward at top speed!

Numerous tentacles continued to attack from both sides of the passage, but their speed was no match for Zhang Lang's running speed, and they missed their targets every time!

Soon, Zhang Lang emerged from the passage and arrived at a relatively open area! This seemed to be a node, with entrances to passages in all directions. Zhang Lang was pondering which path to take when suddenly rustling sounds came from all the openings!

From every hole emerged ferocious insects!

A Purple-Gold War Insect? No? Although it looks somewhat like one, it's not. This insect monster is much bigger and more ferocious! If the Purple-Gold War Insect is an advanced version of the Mantis Monster, then this insect is an advanced version of the Purple-Gold War Insect!

Zhang Lang sheathed his longsword; its sharp edge would only chip against heavily armored units like this! He brandished his divine weapon hands, activated his golden body, and charged straight at them!

Although their carapaces were incredibly hard, they were still no match for the divine weapon's golden armor! These advanced monsters were easily dealt with by Zhang Lang!

But soon, even more war insects crawled out of the hole!

This killing spree will never end! Zhang Lang realized he was being held back, but where could he escape? Which cave entrance was the right route?

He became intensely focused, his senses heightened, and as he slaughtered, he observed his surroundings, seemingly trying to see through the darkness behind every opening...

Suddenly, Zhang Lang's ears twitched!

Then he clenched his fist into a hammer and smashed the divine iron hammer down on the ground!

With a loud bang!

The solid ground, stronger than cement, collapsed under the impact of his iron fist, and he fell down with the force of gravity, sliding into a tunnel!

The real route is right under your feet!

The smooth passage led underground, and soon Zhang Lang found himself in a dark, foul-smelling, and rotten place!

Thanks to his exceptional abilities, his eyes quickly adapted to the darkness and he was able to see what was happening here!

The ground was littered with mangled corpses! There were soldiers in armor, civilians in plain clothes, and all kinds of livestock and wild animals, pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, jackals, tigers, and leopards—you name it!

This must be the food warehouse for this insect hive!

It seems that the node just now was indeed a trap. The intruders would be forced there and surrounded and killed by the elite war bugs. The floor should be movable, and after they die, they would be thrown directly here as food for the bug king!

Does that mean we're very close to the Insect King?

Zhang Lang searched the dark storage room for an exit. Suddenly, a ray of light shone down from above, and a small opening appeared. Many worker insects squeezed in and carried the corpses outside!

Zhang Lang narrowed his eyes, silently crawled to the edge of the corpse and pretended to be dead. He was quickly spotted by a worker insect, who picked him up and carried him out of the storage room...

Just as Zhang Lang was hitchhiking, the sky outside was already beginning to lighten!

A hundred miles or so may not seem far, but following the tracks and stopping frequently will take a lot of time. Moreover, Zhang Lang underestimated the horse's speed. He remembered that when horses were running wild, they could even match the speed of a car. But don't forget, a car is a machine, a horse is an animal, and animals get tired!

The legendary steeds that could travel a thousand miles a day are just stories. This military horse, though excellent, dragged a man for most of the night, covering a hundred miles and still drenched in sweat. If it weren't for Zhang Lang's military ration pill, the scout captain might have been overtaken by the swarm of insects halfway there!

Now that Zhang Lang has entered the insect hive and has been exploring and fighting all the way, time has flown by. Before he knew it, it was already morning. The insects gradually woke up under the sunlight, baring their fangs and claws, preparing for today's attack!

As the sunlight shone, the tree monsters throughout the insect territory sprouted branches and leaves. Soon they received the consciousness signal from the insect king, which, after a simple modification, was transformed into sound waves and released using their powerful vocal organs!

Ultrasonic waves, indistinguishable to humans, instantly enveloped the entire insect nest, waking all the sleeping insects from their slumber. They shook off the dew from their bodies and roared to the sky, as if announcing to humans in the distance that a new day would be even more terrifying!

This time, whether it was due to the altar's intervention or not, the Insect King finally chose to unleash his army of millions.
