Chapter 199: Weird Little Bug
Shen Zheng looked at Xun Qianjue and Lin Liang and smiled gratefully.
"This is what we should do." Xun Qianjue said with a smile, "This is your hometown. If we can't help you defend it, how can we enjoy the status and honor you bring us?"
"We are all family. I don't think there is any need to say more." Lin Liang also smiled and said, "Shen Zheng, go ahead. We are here to take care of it."
"Thank you." Shen Zheng stood up and saluted the two. The two immediately stood up and returned him a standard military salute.
After leaving the command center, Shen Zheng and Xue Su jumped directly from the high wall guarding the city. After landing, they ran side by side. Soon they crossed several kilometers and came to the Fierce Insect Valley. [
"I feel that if you ask them to move the capital here, they will agree." Xue Su suddenly said this.
"Well, maybe." Shen Zheng nodded, "All this is caused by the difference in power. No wonder many people like to call the stronger ones the gods among men."
"So many people will pursue the limit of power, right?" Xue Su asked. "That's the meaning of their existence."
"Some people just pursue power; some people want the power they can get after that." Shen Zheng said.
"What about you?" Xue Su asked.
"I want to protect my family and friends." Shen Zheng said, "This is my original purpose. Everything was simple at that time, but later, the longer I walked on the road of being a strong man, the more I couldn't help myself. There are always people who will use stronger power to oppress you. If you don't want to bow your head, you can only become stronger."
"Yeah." Xue Su nodded slowly, and suddenly asked again: "You... lied to them when you talked about me, why is that?"
"This..." Shen Zheng smiled awkwardly, "If you tell the truth, it will cause an uproar, and I'm afraid that various forces will target you in the future. So it's better to tell a little lie."
"So, not all deceptions are evil?" Xue Su asked.
"Human society cannot do without deception." Shen Zheng sighed, "As long as this deception preserves one's own interests and does not harm others, then it is not evil. If it can also help others, then it is good."
Xue Su nodded thoughtfully.
The two ran all the way out of the Fierce Insect Valley and came to the Fierce Insect Forest. Soon, Shen Zheng found the entrance to the insect cave along the escape route of the insect swarm, but for the sake of caution, he still used super sensing while running around. When he was sure that there was only this one entrance in the entire forest, he and Xue Su entered it together.
Through super sensing, Shen Zheng found that this insect cave was extremely large and could be roughly divided into four layers. The first two layers were just ordinary insects, which were small characters that could be seen in every insect tide. Although the number was amazing, it was not to be feared at all, so Shen Zheng simply ignored them.
The space in the third layer became smaller, but the insects were extremely strong. Those silver-armored leopard insects and ice beetles lived here. Shen Zheng estimated that there were about a thousand silver-armored leopard insects here after using super sensing to detect.
"It looks like I'll be busy for a while." Shen Zheng sighed. To him, these bugs were basically just "bugs", but to Liang Long and others, they were extremely terrifying messengers of death, so Shen Zheng had to get rid of them.
There was only one upward exit on the third floor. Shen Zheng asked Xue Su to help him guard it, and then he went out alone.
These bugs were not a threat to Shen Zheng at all, but there were so many of them that it took a lot of effort to kill them.
When the last silver-armored leopard bug disappeared on the third floor, Shen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and headed for the fourth floor.
On the fourth floor, there were more than 300 ice beetles. These snake-like guys had a bug power range of 90 to 100. Even the top insect planters would retreat when they saw them. [
But for the insect melters, they were too weak.
Soon, Shen Zheng eliminated all the ice beetles on the fourth floor, used super-sensing to explore it, and after confirming that there was nothing left, he turned around and went out.
But at this moment, a strong sense of danger suddenly came over him, and Shen Zheng broke out in a cold sweat. You know, he has been using supersensory perception to detect everything around him, and any movement cannot escape his perception, but this sense of danger came so strongly and suddenly that he could not imagine it.
He suddenly jumped forward, twisted his body while in the air, and a red light flashed in his hand. The insect spirit scimitar was already in his hand, and he swung out a cold air that could freeze everything.
But the cold air did not stop the sense of danger. Shen Zheng only felt that the danger only paused for a moment, and then attacked him again, and what surprised him was that there was nothing in the space behind him!
Dark power? Void power? Shen Zheng thought in astonishment, frowning and hurriedly began to concentrate his strength, preparing to use the new virtual power.
This kind of power is convenient, but it takes a few seconds to concentrate the power before using it every time to spread it throughout the body, and when encountering such a sudden dangerous situation, it is often too late to play its role. Shen Zheng could only try his best, sending out an explosive force from his left hand to move himself back faster.
But all this was in vain. The sense of danger came to him at a speed far faster than Shen Zheng, and at that moment Shen Zheng suddenly saw clearly that the danger came from a bug.
A bug in the eyes of ordinary people.
The bug was all black, and it was extremely difficult to be detected in the dark cave. It was also very small, only the size of a grain of rice, and looked like the small mosquito commonly seen in summer.
But its speed was much faster than that of a mosquito, and it did not make any sound during flight.
Shen Zheng had seen countless huge and terrifying bugs, but none of them was as terrifying as this little thing in front of him. It was so small that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and even when using supersensory perception, it would be unconsciously ignored.
When Shen Zheng saw the source of the danger, the guy had already landed on Shen Zheng's chest. In an instant, Shen Zheng's sense of danger rose wildly. He suddenly had a fear of dying. His whole body instantly became cold, his ears began to ring, and his brain seemed to have stopped thinking at that moment.
But at this moment, a figure flew over, and it turned out to be Xue Su who was guarding the exit of the third floor. As soon as she approached, she stretched out her hand towards Shen Zheng, and at the same time, she made a sound that seemed to be there.
When the sound was rang out, the small black insect suddenly stopped moving, and the sense of danger suddenly disappeared. Shen Zheng hurriedly waved his hand to catch the insect and crush it to death.
At the moment when his fingers pinched the insect, the insect power in his brain suddenly surged violently. The powerful force made him fall into a state of numbness, just like an ordinary person who was electrocuted. His mind was in pain, but his body was completely out of his control.
The insect power in the brain made Shen Zheng suffer, but it made the little insect feel comfortable. It made a faint chirping sound, and then suddenly turned from black like night to white, and then radiated a strong light, breaking free from Shen Zheng's control.
But it did not continue to attack Shen Zheng, but quickly turned in the air and flew onto the insect spirit scimitar in Shen Zheng's right hand. The scimitar also emitted the same light at that moment, and instantly changed into the original appearance of the blood spirit whip. The little insect hovered on the whip and suddenly drilled into the whip.
The light on the blood spirit whip immediately became brighter, illuminating the entire dark cave as if it were daytime.
Xue Su stepped back slightly, but did not come forward to help Shen Zheng.
After a long time, the surge of insect power in Shen Zheng's brain finally stopped. Shen Zheng staggered back a few steps, barely stood firm, slowly raised his right hand, and looked at the blood spirit whip in surprise.
The dazzling light had disappeared, and the blood spirit whip returned to its original blood color. But the blood color was different from before. Looking closely, you can see that the whip is faintly shining with star-like crystal light everywhere, as if the kid has turned into millions of incarnations attached to the whip, constantly shining. [
A surge of power, scattered among those shining "little stars", Shen Zheng could feel its tyranny and terror, but he couldn't really support them. He looked at the blood spirit whip in surprise, and then input the insect power into the whip, feeling the power of the whip, but he only felt the original power of the blood spirit whip, and couldn't combine with the power contained in the "little stars".
"What's going on?" Shen Zheng frowned and whispered.
"Master, the origin of your insect spirit is very special." Xue Su came over and looked down at the blood spirit whip in Shen Zheng's hand.
"It's very special." Shen Zheng nodded, "If you tell me, many people won't believe that it was actually obtained from a silver-armored leopard insect. It's those inconspicuous things in the third layer just now."
"They rarely even have insect cores in their bodies, how can they generate insect spirits?" Xue Su shook her head.
"Yes, that's why I said no one would believe it." Shen Zheng said.
"The insect just now... was also very strange." Xue Su said.
"I really don't know what that is." Shen Zheng raised the Blood Spirit Whip, "Look, it has merged with my insect spirit and turned into light spots scattered on it. Now my Blood Spirit Whip is a bit like a bloody universe, and it is the stars dotted in it."
Xue Su slowly raised her hand and gently stroked the Blood Spirit Whip. After a while, she suddenly said, "Master, the origin of your insect spirit is definitely not simple."
"You know?" Shen Zheng was surprised.
"Yeah." Xue Su nodded slowly, "I think the strange little insect just now is actually the original entity of your insect spirit, and the insect spirit in your hand should be its clone."
"It?" Shen Zheng looked at Xue Su in astonishment, "Are you kidding?"
"No." Xue Su shook her head, "After seeing it, some memories emerged in my mind. I think it should be..."
