Those who reincarnate must die.

"They've appeared!" The watchtower atop Sunset Fortress was the first to spot the insect army and sounded its horn. (Google search reading)

They arrived even earlier than usual; it seems the swarm on this last day was indeed more ferocious!

The swarm of insects, covering the entire horizon, surged in like a tsunami. Even the flying insects, which are usually used for harassment, were quite numerous today, with thousands of them taking off in formation, creating a scene that almost blotted out the sky!

The soldiers, who deal with insects every day, are the ones who can best see the difference between today and the past. This swarm of insects is unprecedented and terrifying!

It's only natural for soldiers to feel fear and dread.

But they will not give up, because they know that behind them lies the indefensible land of Jiangnan, where their parents, wives and children, and hundreds of millions of their compatriots live!

To do something knowing it's impossible is the mark of a true warrior!

The reincarnators, though they had anticipated today's extraordinary attack, were still trembling with fear when they saw the actual scene.

"The bugs have appeared. Does that mean that guy's operation failed?"

Liu Mofei's teeth chattered. Last night, when Feng Xi found them and inquired about Zhang Lang's whereabouts, they guessed that the guy had gone to the insect hive alone...

"Hmph, they might have already run away!" Wang Chufeng speculated maliciously.

"With that guy's skills, surviving in the wilderness for an hour or two is a piece of cake, right? The swarm couldn't catch him, so they naturally survived the mission, leaving us here to die!"

"He's not that kind of person!" It was Yue Xinyi who spoke. This girl with a ponytail and a somewhat aloof demeanor glanced at Wang Chufeng.

Don't judge other people's actions based on your own character!

"What did you say?!" Wang Chufeng was furious, but a tall figure blocked his way: "What, you want to make a move?"

It's Ye Peng! This guy got a mid-level attribute enhancement once? He can freely allocate 24 attribute points? Compared to ordinary people, even without weapons, he's much stronger!

Wang Chufeng then realized that these people in front of him were all veterans, much stronger than him. He could only swallow his resentment. He thought to himself, "Once I've gained enough power, I'll definitely be able to..."

As the swarm of insects approached, the city's defense forces launched a counterattack, unleashing a barrage of various gunpowder weapons. The final battle between humans and insects had begun!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhang Lang, lying on the back of a worker insect disguised as a corpse, was slowly moving forward through the complex passages deep within the insect nest.

He had underestimated the size and complexity of the insect nest. Now it seemed the above-ground portion was merely a roof; the true maze was the vast and intricate palace of the insect king! The passageways within were interconnected and intricate, resembling a labyrinthine underground city. Zhang Lang encountered many insects he had never seen before, but he remained steadfast, feigning death without making a move…

Now it seems that without the worker insect leading the way, even if he were to come down and find the insect king on his own, he might not be able to find it by the time the mission deadline had passed!

Finally, after an unknown amount of time and countless passages and nodes, Zhang Lang arrived at an enormous cave.

The cave was roughly circular, its walls covered with thick, fleshy tissue. The bottom was filled with a green, sticky substance. Above the substance were bridges made of some unknown keratinous material, connecting to smaller openings on all sides of the cave. Worker insects constantly brought in various corpses and remains from these openings, dropping them into the green, sticky substance below. Whatever it was, upon contact with the substance, instantly decomposed into a thick liquid…

The bridges converge at the center of the cave to form a spacious platform. Above the platform, at the top of the cave, hangs a huge egg. Countless fleshy tubes are connected to this egg, drawing nutrients from the green mucus below and transporting them into the egg!

Clearly, the green slime below is a powerful digestive fluid that breaks down the corpse to provide nutrients to the insect eggs above. The queen insect should be inside those eggs!

Just as I thought of this, the insect egg vibrated slightly and a sound came out from it, using the standard language of this world!

"I know you're still alive, no need to pretend anymore!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhang Langteng leaped up from the back of the worker insect, crushing the poor insect that had dragged him all the way with his powerful strength. He then jumped onto the giant insect egg and attacked with his sword!

With a whoosh, the blade sliced ​​through the egg membrane, creating a gash. The fluid inside gushed out, along with a vaguely human-shaped form...

"This insect has evolved into a human?" Zhang Lang frowned. Suddenly, the humanoid figure sprang out of the solution and rushed straight towards him!

boom!

With a loud bang, Zhang Lang was caught off guard and sent flying backward, crashing into the fleshy cave wall. Instead of bouncing off, he was stuck to the mucus on it, and then countless tiny tentacles climbed up his body and began to secrete digestive juices!

Even Zhang Lang's skin felt a slight stinging sensation! The digestive juice was indeed incredibly potent! If an ordinary person got even a tiny bit on it, it would probably dissipate flesh and erode bones!

Zhang Lang immediately broke free from the tentacles' grasp and landed back on the bridge, looking up at the humanoid monster that had sent him flying...

No, it wasn't humanoid. This monster had a slender body, standing about two and a half meters tall, but its frame was extremely thin. It had a lizard-like head, with a forked tongue protruding from its mouth, and its body was covered in what looked like scales, but also resembled an insect's exoskeleton...

Its limbs are segmented, similar in shape to humans, and also have five fingers, but the joints are structured like those of arthropods. It also has a long, thin tail at the back of its body, which is divided into four lobes at the end and can open and close very flexibly. From a distance, it looks like a small hand...

This monster looks extremely bizarre! You could say it's an insect, but its head, thorax, torso, and tail all have obvious reptilian features; yet, its limbs have the standard structure of an arthropod...

It looks like a hybrid of a reptile and an insect!

Could this be the Insect King? It's completely different from what he imagined...

"This guy isn't an insect!" the Void suddenly spoke in Zhang Lang's mind. "He's not even a creature from this world!"

"It is... a Si tribesman with legs!"

"The Si tribe?"

Zhang Lang was taken aback. Were these intelligent beings from another dimension? Judging from the names of the twelve earthly branches, this Si clan was actually the snake clan?

Startled, Zhang Lang blurted out the words "Si Clan." The Insect King opposite him heard this and chuckled, "You actually know about my clan? You're no ordinary Shen Clan member. A Reincarnator? And a Hero-level one at that!"

"It seems this guy is a hero-level reincarnator of the Si clan. Zhang Lang, be careful!" Xu warned.

"The Si tribe are intelligent beings evolved from snakes. Snakes subdue their prey by secreting venom, and they don't chew; they swallow everything raw, possessing extremely strong digestive abilities. Therefore, the Si tribe's culture is built upon the worship of toxins and digestive juices. Their technology in these two areas is undoubtedly the best in the entire twelve planes. That's why their digestive juices are so potent that even your constitution can't withstand them! Be careful of the green slime below; that's clearly more concentrated and more effective!"
