I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

And this is the spell that Sia is best at.

For her, there is no weakest spell, only the weakest mage.

If used properly, even this Void Burst spell can be surprisingly effective!

Just as Xia was about to throw away the invisible dumpling in her hand, a voice suddenly came from beside her.

Halloween.

The one speaking was a wilderness hunter who had come in with the giant arm.

His expression was numb, like a doll, his half-open mouth trembling slightly as he uttered those three chilling words.

Halloween.

Another survivor then spoke up, his eyes lifeless, like a lifeless shell.

Giant Wrist was somewhat surprised. He looked at the Wilderness Hunters who had just escaped from the swarm of insects with him, and saw them utter the words "Halloween."

Jiu Meng immediately became alert. After a brief moment of shock, anyone could come to the obvious conclusion: these people... were not human, but insects.

They are insects controlled by the Queen!

They disguised themselves as humans and followed him around!

Flameheart immediately lit the torch in his hand, and the crystal on his hand shone brightly as a ball of flame came to his palm.

Halloween.

Another survivor uttered this chilling sound, which echoed throughout the vast space, following the chorus of the insects.

"This……"

Iron Fist was incredulous that he could name each of these people, their backgrounds, abilities, hobbies, likes, and dislikes.

However, these things suddenly became illusory.

Halloween.

The last survivor echoed this cry, shattering Iron Fist's illusions.

"Hey, you... what are you?"

Giant Arm's hands had begun to swell, and he distanced himself from Iron Fist and the others, watching the Wasteland Hunters who were repeating Halloween greetings warily.

"we are……"

Iron Fist wanted to explain, but the words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.

He wanted to say that he set out to find the remains of the saint for the prosperity of his city-state. He had a virtuous wife and a lovely daughter. He had fought against several powerful insects in the wilderness and survived. His ancestors had created a glorious civilization, and as their descendant, he wanted to rebuild that glory.

However, everything was shattered by one voice.

Halloween.

Beside him, the faceless one spoke in a wooden voice.

His half-crystalled face was expressionless, like a corpse, repeating the same words over and over.

"Halloween." "Halloween." "Halloween."

Such words also covered the entrance to the hall.

Iron Fist struggled to his feet and reached out to Xia and the others.

He opened his mouth, wanting to beg for help, wanting to defend himself, wanting to overturn everything.

However, all the words I wanted to say condensed into just one sentence.

Halloween.

Iron Fist's expression became blank, rigid, and numb, and he uttered this sound.

Even Lu Ban was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, this team of wilderness hunters were all insects in disguise.

They themselves don't even know they are insects, and they do the same things as humans.

Whether there truly exists a wasteland hunter called Iron Fist behind these insects, Lu Ban didn't know.

We must leave here immediately.

Lu Ban said something.

Before Lu Ban could say anything more, Xia had already cast the Void Burst spell.

An invisible spell drifted toward the queen insect.

Lu Ban saw Yan Xin simultaneously manipulating flames, burning the wasteland hunters around her who were repeating Halloween.

Unseen by Lu Ban, an invisible spell struck the Queen Insect.

bang——

In an instant, the queen insect's head was reduced to a hole.

Halloween!

The swarm of insects instantly erupted into chaos.

The insects began to fight each other, attacking every living thing they could see.

Old Dream's eyes gleamed with the light of gemstones, causing the surrounding insects to fall asleep. Its giant arm then pushed aside the insects blocking its path, clearing a way for them.

"One more shot."

Lu Ban said something.

Shea came to Lu Ban's side and raised her hand to unleash another Void Burst spell on the Queen Insect.

bang——

The enormous body, with its huge and bloated abdomen, suddenly burst open, revealing the stone coffin beneath.

The giant arm pushed open the stone coffin.

Inside the stone coffin lay a skeleton.

The bones had long since decayed, leaving only a dark gray and broken skeleton, and the crown on its head was also dull and colorless.

Even if they were once dressed in fine clothes, now they are nothing but piles of white bones.

Saints are nothing more than this.

Lu Ban saw a light blue crystal on the chest of the skeleton.

He picked up the crystal.

[Item Obtained: Remains of a Saint]

[Quest Requirement: Obtain 1/1 of the Treasure of the Nameless City]

In my field of vision, the corpses of those insects formed the cold, indifferent text of the system.

"These are the remains of a saint?"

Without much time to think, he climbed directly onto the chains binding the queen insect.

These chains were cold and heavy, seemingly made of a special metal, and were difficult to destroy.

Lu Ban walked at the back, and after Yan Xin burned away the insects blocking the cave entrance with flames, they finally saw the sky again.

bang——

The giant arm lifted a piece of building debris and pressed it directly against the hole, temporarily stopping the insects from surging out.

"We must leave as soon as possible."

Flameheart pointed in the direction of the camels. They were currently in a corner of the city, which seemed to be the location where the insect swarm was launching its attack.

Lu Ban and Xi Ya exchanged a glance. In fact, their mission was already complete at this point.

As long as you choose to return, you can leave the alien world and go back to your original world.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Ban was trying to find an excuse to leave.

Suddenly, a voice reached his ears.

"...Halloween."

Old Dream's expression became blank, and under the dazzling starlight, he blurted out.

Chapter 192 Don't make a move, they're on our side.

Halloween.

The sound of old dreams is like a cold desert, chilling everyone's hearts to the bone.

Flameheart looked at her companion in disbelief.

He clearly remembered how he met Jiu Meng. It was a few years ago, when they had just left the city-state and stepped into this wasteland. The two had a fierce argument and almost came to blows. It was Ju Wan who beat them both up and calmed things down.

He clearly remembered the memories of the three of them forming a team, hunting, harvesting, and fighting in the wilderness, those nights with campfires and starry skies, those laughter and joy, and those bloody battles.

How could someone like that be an insect in disguise?

Have these insects become so capable of mimicking humans?

The more Yan Xin thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

He broke out in a cold sweat, his face turned pale, and stared blankly at his old dream, feeling momentarily dazed.

"Calm down, calm down. It's possible that Old Dream is being controlled by some mysterious force. As long as we leave this ruin, as long as we leave this ruin, he will get better."

Yan Xin explained that it wasn't just for the sake of old dreams, but also for her own sake.

Now, even if Yan Xin doesn't admit it, she already knows everything in her heart.

He is not human.

Instead, like those wilderness hunters, they believed themselves to be insects of humans.

The Queen of the Nameless City possesses the power to manipulate people's hearts, and naturally, she also has the power to manipulate the hearts of the insect swarm. In order to deceive those who come to the Nameless City, the Queen manipulates the minds of some of the insects she has spawned, making them believe that they are humans and wasteland hunters. These insects roam the nearby wasteland, luring other wasteland hunters into the city to explore, and becoming the Queen's prey.

The appearance of this body, these memories, this personality, and even the fear it feels now, were all bestowed upon it by the Queen Insect.
