Chapter 781: Chapter 445: The Black Throne

The Abyssal Worm was located about two hundred meters below where Li Changhe and the others were.

After breaking through the 19th Safety Zone, it was attacked by the external army, and over 30% of its body tissue was torn apart.

After fleeing back to the depths of the underground area, it entered a deep slumber.

If it weren’t for the disturbances from the outside world, it might have slept for thirty to fifty years. Either it would have healed from its injuries or died in its sleep due to them.

Now, the depths of the underground space were filled with swarms of insects and creations of the insect god.

The vast numbers of insects almost covered every underground area. Naturally, the Abyssal Worm hiding among them could not remain hidden.

When it was awakened, it saw a countless number of terrifying insect swarms.

Although it usually wouldn’t matter, its defenses were now quite amazing. After all, it had withstood human artillery fire, and it would take a great cost for the insect swarm to eliminate it.

But now, the Abyssal Worm was covered in injuries, and many parts of its body tissue were missing.

Facing this number of insect swarms, the Abyssal Worm could only flee passively.

At the same time, it didn’t dare to escape from the underground space because it was terrified of the human firepower.

It was certain that once it emerged on the surface and became visible to humans, it would be bombarded by their artillery once again.

Thus, it chose to hide in the upper layers of the underground space where there were fewer insects.

Just as it was contemplating how to evade the insect swarm’s siege, it was discovered by the insect race’s assassin, Smiling Half-step Mad.

Upon receiving this news, Li Changhe quickly expressed his own thoughts.

"To be honest, I have the ability to control the Abyssal Worm to a certain extent," Li Changhe said, "Now, I plan to capture the Abyssal Worm first and use it to create a path to the surface."

"You have such an ability, uncle?" Smiling Half-step Mad was somewhat surprised. Some high-energy players could indeed control other creatures.

She had seen this kind of skill a few times before, but would it work against such a giant creature? When the Abyssal Worm was destroying the 19th Safety Zone, the defending players had tried everything they could.

Among them were high-energy players.

"But now, our team’s combat power has greatly reduced. It may be possible to kill it, but capturing it might be a bit difficult?" Smiling Half-step Mad glanced around and lowered her voice, "Now there are at most three players who can make a move."

At the moment, in the team of players, other than the recovering General Li Ba and herself.

The remaining players had injuries more or less.

The official Holder, Laughing Gentleman, had used up too much energy, and the left half of her body was nearly paralyzed, making her unable to act freely anymore.

Now, she was sleeping soundly on General Li Ba’s shoulder.

As for the official high-energy player, Chen Yu, her leg was severely injured.

However, as a high-energy player, she still had decent combat power.

After all, her forte wasn’t close combat. The leg injury did have an impact, but it wasn’t significant.

As for her younger brother, One Day Life Loss.

He was still unconscious, having spent too much energy and almost died.

If they were really desperate for combat power, there would only be General Li Ba, herself, and the injured Chen Yu. Three players in total.

As for non-player combat personnel, almost everyone was injured.

During the previous collapse incident, many people were injured by falling boulders or shockwaves even if they had escaped the collapse area.

Even though the officials provided many medicines, it was already the limit to gather a ten-person team now.

Three players and ten non-player combat personnel.

Could this little force capture and force the Abyssal Worm to make a tunnel for humans?

The Abyssal Worm is a Terror Devil, and it harbors extreme maliciousness towards humans.

Even if captured, it wouldn’t obey a human’s command, right?

"Leave that to me," Li Changhe whispered, "You can tell them to take the time to rest and recover from their injuries. If the plan works, they can get out of this underground space soon. As you know, there are more and more insects and creations of the insect god below. It’s getting more dangerous here."

"Then I hope General Li’s plan succeeds." Smiling Half-step Mad nodded slightly, knowing the current situation. Leaving the underground space as soon as possible is the best course of action.

Since General Li Ba made such a promise, she wouldn’t question it.

After all, it was because of General Li Ba and the Holder’s joint efforts that they saved most people here.

Including her younger brother, One Day Life Loss.

This was a great favor, and she had to repay it.

Soon after, Smiling Half-step Mad went to inform the combat personnel and take care of her younger brother.

As for the Insect God Shell, it was temporarily placed in Li Changhe’s [Backpack].

By now, the number of Insect God creations had become quite substantial.

Due to the traits effect, the Insect God creations would turn into blood water when they die.

The insect swarm couldn’t gain nutrients from the blood water to create new members. The corpses of the insect swarm would be swallowed by the blood water, making recycling impossible.

This greatly reduced the threat of the insect swarm.

The massive amount of nutrients collected by the swarm turned into the Insect God’s immovable property, making the aftermath work more complicated.

After Smiling Half-step Mad was far away, Chen Yu finally spoke up, "Capture... You plan to ride it, right?"

Chen Yu naturally knew Li Changhe’s Riding A skill, which was a famed skill of dog riding.

If the official changed Li Changhe’s Hidden Pile name, perhaps it would become... Insect Riding?

"Of course, theoretically speaking, if Tingdaros Hounds can be ridden, so can Abyssal Worms." Li Changhe nodded, that was his plan: "However, I need to experiment first."

"If we can use it to dig a tunnel to the surface, then we do have a chance of surviving." Chen Yu said, "I’ve already contacted the command center. A slaughter squad will come to support and cooperate with us."

"What’s the situation in other Safe Zones?" Li Changhe asked.

"Several Safe Zones have already been attacked by Terror Devils, and both combat personnel and players have suffered significant losses." Chen Yu replied as she glanced at Xiao Nan leaning on Li Changhe’s shoulder.

She thought how lucky she was, as more than 90% of the humans in this dangerous environment were frightened and anxious, and their emotions were low.

But Xiao Nan slept soundly.

Well, of course, no matter when, she always felt safe and secure with him by her side.

"What about that Six-winged Gatekeeper?" Li Changhe suddenly asked.

"... After being attacked by He Feng and others, she hid away. She might have sensed the helpers within the Dream Cruise." Chen Yu replied. The strong ones inside the Dream Cruise were a great deterrent to Terror Devils. Thus, those terror devils with special abilities and great strength did not attack the Safe Zones but hid in the dark.

The Insect Race couldn’t hide, but the Dream Cruise also couldn’t send helpers into the underground space. So, to save precious time, the Insect Race had to rely on the disaster fog for their strength.

The appearance of the Six-winged Gatekeeper this time was unexpected.

Humans had now guessed that the Terror Devils had reached some cooperation.

But they wouldn’t risk being killed by helpers to help the insect race destroy the Insect God Shell, right?

"The command center speculates that she was probably attracted by something else."

"Something else?" Li Changhe thought of the black throne he saw when he used the Black Mud Divinity.

"Ha, I hope it’s related to me. That would save me the effort of looking for her."
