Chapter 771: Chapter 435: Encounter Battle with the Insect Race

It was difficult to tell the passage of time in the tunnel, so Li Changhe could only estimate it based on the consumption of oxygen capsules.

"I’ve already taken more than twenty pills. So, we’ve been here for almost a day."

As Li Changhe thought, he stepped on the neck of a wild boar-like terror demon with one foot and stabbed its cervical spine with a knife, twisting it effectively. The wild boar demon’s legs kicked wildly for a moment before settling down.

The progress of the search party was slow. The underground space was too vast, and there was virtually no light source other than the illumination scrolls.

Even with Li Changhe’s Hawk Eye Magic Eye fully activated and releasing three black hawks, they couldn’t find anything in the pitch-black cave.

They could only rely on Chen Yu’s energy sensing for exploration.

As a result, they searched for a day without finding even a trace of the Abyssal Worm, except for a few unfortunate terror demons.

"This isn’t working. Just relying on us like this... By the time the Abyssal Worm recovers, we might not even find it." The Ghost Face player walked out of the shadows and spoke, "We need more people."

"I’ve already said, no more people will be invested. There’s a shortage of combat power in the disaster fog, and every player has their own task. Some protect the Safe Zone, some hunt the Insect Race, and some track down the robot factories. Our task is to kill the Abyssal Worm." Chen Yu replied, her voice hoarse. She was exhausted from continuously sensing the surroundings and was currently resting against a rock wall.

"Let’s call it a day." Xiao Nan took Chen Yu’s hand and said, "Let’s set up a temporary camp here and recover from the exhaustion."

Everyone nodded. The only high-energy player in the team was very tired from the extended energy sensing; it was time to rest.

Thankfully, the authorities provided good logistics, delivering equipment through messages.

Soon, the group carved out a small path and set up a temporary camp.

It was just a few tents made of special materials that could generate oxygen inside and withstand a certain amount of damage from the outside.

With two people guarding the outside, it counted as a simple camp.

Shui Yue and the Ghost Face player were on the first night watch shift, followed by Li Changhe and the girl.

Chen Yu rested as quickly as possible and did not take part in the night watch.

This way, the five players could all get some rest.

In fact, besides Chen Yu, everyone else didn’t consume much energy. Most of the terror demons they encountered were not too difficult to deal with, and they didn’t even need to use their skills to eliminate them.

As a Physique player, Li Changhe found the short rest time more than sufficient.

Looking at the area illuminated by the light ball, Li Changhe was silent and still thinking about what his terror demon would look like.

During this time, Li Changhe had been pondering this question. He had left the Safe Zone, and if his terror demon had enough intelligence, it would search for him in the tunnels.

If it were Xue Shen or similar beings, their current team wouldn’t be too troubled to kill it. But what if it was something more difficult?

If the danger were too high, Li Changhe thought, he might have to resort to some special measures.

Just as he was thinking, he felt a soft touch from behind and heard a mesmerizing, warm breath by his ear.

The girl reached out to hug him from behind and whispered in Li Changhe’s ear, "What are you thinking about?"

It was the girl on the night watch, who saw Li Changhe in a daze and couldn’t help hugging him from behind.

"I still don’t know what my terror demon will be like," Li Changhe thought with a smile, putting his hand on the girl’s palm. Humph, this naughty girl. She always liked to take advantage of him. At least he didn’t lose out in the end.

Xiao Nan was silent for a moment in response, then hugged Li Changhe even more tightly.

As the Holder, she already knew everything that had happened on the surface—that terrifying terror demon was Li Changhe in some state.

The authorities did not intend to let Li Changhe know this. It was their kindness.

After all, letting Li Changhe know this was not a good thing.

In the world where that demon exists, she had probably died already, right? And Box couldn’t be much better off.

If the two were still alive, they would never let him go that far.

That twisted and strange malice seemed to have destroyed an entire world.

Many people were amazed and frightened by the terrifying power of the Crying Hero, but Xiao Nan wondered how deep and thick his despair must have been...

Indeed, the Crying Hero was powerful, and the Apocalypse attack could destroy an entire city with a single blow.

Countless people were frightened by his strength, but who could understand his despair and pain?

Although he might be invincible in that world, that would definitely not be the result he wanted.

Xiao Nan sighed softly, opened her lips slightly, and bit Li Changhe’s earlobe.

"Changhe."

"Hmm?" Li Changhe felt a tingling sensation in his ear and couldn’t help but gasp, "What’s up? Girl, this is not the time for us to get intimate. We can go back to the tent."

"I will never leave you. I definitely won’t." The girl ignored his teasing and spoke softly, her tone resolute.

"Huh. I won’t let you leave either." Li Changhe was surprised but still responded with a light laugh.

In his mind, Yun Ting couldn’t bear to watch and began reciting Buddhist sutras.

Being a light bulb was indeed painful. Brother Ting, as a Symbiotic Body, could hear their conversation. The dog food was being crammed right into his stomach.

It was too much—didn’t Symbiotic Bodies have human rights?

If I’m that sinful, then you should help me reach enlightenment!

Yun Ting complained in his heart.

The next moment, his thoughts shifted, and his figure appeared beside the two.

Just when Li Changhe wanted to say Brother Ting, you’re not good at reading the atmosphere, he heard Yun Ting’s cautious words, "Something’s coming. A lot of them!"

"A lot?" Li Changhe’s expression changed, and he listened carefully. Indeed, strange sounds were coming from the depths of the pit. They sounded like raindrops, but Li Changhe and the others were hundreds of meters deep underground; they shouldn’t be able to hear any rain.

This was the footstep of terror demons? So many? Li Changhe’s expression changed. This was a group of thousands. How could such a number of terror demons be acting collectively in the tunnel?

"It’s the Insect Race!" Woken up by the girl, Chen Yu sensed the insects from a distance and turned pale, "Why is it the Insect Race? They shouldn’t be here."

Insect Race? A World Destruction level terror demon!

He Feng and the others were investigating the Insect Race’s nest, gathering a large number of players and combat personnel to push through the Insect Race’s tunnels forcefully.

They planned to eliminate the Insect Queen with overwhelming force before the Insect Race’s numbers exploded.

The fight was said to be fierce, so how did the Insect Race appear here?

"Damn it. Could it be that this place is connected to the Insect Race’s territory?" Ghost Face, who had just crawled out of the tent, gasped, "Our team is not here to deal with the Insect Race."

"There’s nothing we can do now," Shui Yue said expressionlessly. "They won’t spare us this bunch of food."

"Prepare for battle!"
