2431 Killing our way out of the Zerg ocean (1)



The giant worm was as big as a mountain. It covered the sky when it flew in the air, and it dragged a black gas when it moved.

Within a radius of a thousand miles, these strange insects were everywhere. Who knew how many more strange insects were inside this strange planet?

Tang Zhen secretly guessed that the strange insect's food should be death energy. Otherwise, it would definitely be impossible for it to survive in such an extreme environment.

Cultivators absorbed death energy to improve their strength. Was it the same for the strange insect? the more death energy it absorbed, the bigger its size would be?

Although no one answered, Tang Zhen could basically confirm that this was the correct answer.

However, the devouring ability of these strange insects could not be compared to that of cultivators. They only grew in size, not in their brains.

Perhaps this was the restriction of the rules. It allowed the strange insect to have a strong life force, but at the same time, it could not think like an intelligent creature.

Otherwise, these terrifying creatures from the Forbidden Zone would have long formed a climate and even attacked the world of loucheng.

Since the sky cover territory dared to keep them, it proved that these strange insects were not a cause for concern. Otherwise, they would have been cleaned up long ago.

Although the sky cover territory didn't care about these strange insects, they were a big problem for Tang Zhen.

These insects of different sizes gathered together. They were so densely packed that they were uncountable. They surrounded Tang Zhen and clearly treated him as food.

The vitality emitted by Tang Zhen was like a bright light in the dark night. To these strange insects, it was simply a Supreme delicacy.

There was only one thought in their pure minds at this moment, and that was to devour Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen's expression became unusually serious as he saw the increasing number of strange insects. His earlier probing attack had already proved that these strange insects were extremely difficult to deal with.

Even though it was just a casual strike, even a world Overlord wouldn't be able to withstand it.

However, these terrifying strange insects that lived in the Forbidden Zone were able to withstand his attacks. Only a small number of strange insects were killed.

Such a terrifying life force was simply unheard of. He wondered what it was.

Tang Zhen felt a sense of danger. If he was surrounded by these terrifying insects, he might not be able to withstand it even if he was a creator.

If they weren't confident and worried that they couldn't win, they would temporarily retreat!

Tang Zhen wasn't a pedantic person. He was hot-blooded when he needed to be, and he must be calm when he needed to be.

On the battlefield, one needed to adapt to the situation. If one blindly fought and charged, this kind of behavior could only be regarded as a reckless move.

They were just a bunch of brainless insects, so there was no need to risk their lives. It would not be worth it if they really suffered losses.

"Since that's the case, let's avoid it for now."

When Tang Zhen thought up to this point, he immediately launched an attack on the insect swarm in front of him. The rolling sea of fire spread out for a distance of several dozen li.

The strange insects were enveloped by the sea of fire and immediately became a mess. Some were burned to ashes, but most of them were safe and sound. They only turned into fireballs and ran around.

After seeing this scene, Tang Zhen was even more certain that the strange insects would be difficult to deal with. One must know that this sea of fire had a temperature of over ten thousand degrees. Yet, it was still unable to kill these strange insects on a large scale.

Tang Zhen took advantage of the opportunity when the strange insects were in a mess to find a gap and shuttled through it with lightning speed.

These strange insects seemed to have been enraged when they saw Tang Zhen escape from the encirclement. They emitted a sharp cry that caused one's soul to tremble.

In particular, those giant strange insects blocked Tang Zhen's path as they kept spurting out strange liquid.

Some of the small insects were sprayed, and as if they had fallen into glue, they instantly lost their ability to move.

A giant strange insect was extremely fast. It aimed at Tang Zhen's position and bit fiercely.

It was several thousand meters in size. Tang Zhen was simply like an ant in front of this giant strange insect.

However, in the world of cultivation, size did not represent strength. No matter how many huge monsters there were, they were ultimately just prey for cultivators.

a bunch of extremely ugly insects actually want to eat me. Of course it's wishful thinking!

Tang Zhen coldly snorted. A battle blade suddenly appeared in his hand as he hacked at the strange insect blocking his way.

The seemingly thin saber burst out a cold light that was thousands of meters long and fell on the body of the giant insect.

"Aooo!"

The strange insect let out a painful roar. A thin line suddenly appeared on its body, and then black gas spewed out from the wound.

Then, the body of this strange insect that was as big as a mountain suddenly split into two and fell to the ground.

When the strange insects nearby saw that their companion had died, they immediately changed directions and rushed toward the monster's corpse.

Tang Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this scene. He felt that something was amiss.

what are these strange insects doing? could there be something good in the corpse of the giant strange insect? "

When Tang Zhen thought up to this point, he immediately looked at the strange insect's corpse and quickly discovered an abnormality.

At this moment, it could be clearly seen that there were no internal organs in the strange insect's body. Its structure was so simple that it made one's hair stand on end.

Although its stomach was empty and it looked like a cockroach, it was clearly in a half-energized state.

Tang Zhen quickly discovered that the thing that these strange insects were fighting for was actually a crystal core within the body of the giant strange insect.

This alone was enough to prove that the crystal core in the strange insect's body was definitely not an ordinary item.

Tang Zhen's heart jerked slightly. He subconsciously rushed forward and snatched it back from the mouths of a group of strange insects.

As a result, as soon as the crystal core touched his hand, he felt a strange feeling, indicating that this crystal core was extraordinary.

If he could absorb it, it would be very helpful for his cultivation. After all, this was the life-force essence accumulated by the giant strange worm.

After discovering this situation, Tang Zhen, who was originally prepared to quickly retreat, immediately had a new plan.

They still had to retreat to avoid being outnumbered. However, before they retreated, they had to reap some harvest.

If it was proven that this crystal core was indeed helpful in improving one's strength, so what if they had to fight?

When Tang Zhen thought up to this point, he first dodged the attacks of a large group of strange insects. After which, he quickly turned back and locked onto another giant strange insect before launching an attack.

Tang Zhen did not dare to face a group of strange insects head-on. However, he did not have the slightest fear if he were to face one or two strange insects.

As expected, the strange insect that he had locked onto was killed, and the crystal core within its body was once again obtained by Tang Zhen.

After killing a strange insect, Tang Zhen locked onto the next target and launched another attack.

This was because Tang Zhen's speed was extremely fast. Every time he attacked, he would kill with a single move. This caused the strange insects to immediately become a mess.

Tang Zhen took advantage of the chaos and killed a few more giant strange insects, snatching the crystal cores in their bodies.

Unfortunately, time was limited, so he could not verify the effects of the crystal cores. As such, there was no need to collect too many.

If there was no effect, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

Although he had successfully killed a few giant strange insects, Tang Zhen's situation had become more and more dangerous. This was because the strange insects had already formed an encirclement.

If he continued to kill the strange insects, he might be trapped to death, and it would not be easy to leave.

"It's time to go!"

Tang Zhen made a prompt decision. He once again locked onto the direction of the retreat and continuously launched attacks.

The insect swarm was ferocious but Tang Zhen was even more ruthless. He forcefully killed his way through the flesh.

After charging out of the insect swarm's encirclement, Tang Zhen did not continue to stay any longer. He directly flew towards the position of the red little bird.
