Chapter 117 Hunting the Imperial Guard Insects!
Li Yelai was unaware that his misfortune directly impacted the predetermined fate of certain humans. Nor was he aware of the mysterious book-bearer's current impotent rage.

All he knew was that humans were dying in the insect swarm every moment, and he had to try his best to lure out more advanced insectoids and do as much as he could for humanity.

Under the cover and support of human warriors, he wielded his halberd and charged towards the swarm of insects.

The shadows spread out beneath their feet, and from the shadows emerged heavily armored cavalrymen, armed to the teeth.

Each of them was clad in incredibly thick lamellar armor and carried a long spear. Their tall warhorses, covered in thick armor, made them resemble savage beasts!

The Shadow Army moves like lightning!
Nearly two hundred heavy cavalrymen crawled out from Li Yelai's shadow and transformed into the most loyal warriors!

As Li Yelai launched his charge against the swarm of insects!

Wherever they went, the insect swarms were torn apart under their iron hooves.

The swarm of insects found it difficult to pierce Li Yelai's extremely sturdy scales and armor under the charge of the heavy cavalry.

With the activation of Mimicry: Abyss Dragon Scale, Li Yelai's defense is now so formidable that it cannot be easily torn apart by low-level insect swarms.

However, Li Yelai was able to directly shatter the insect swarm, which caused the number of Li Yelai's shadow army to increase again!
Shadow Army is one of the few classes with growth-type buffs.

It can devour the shadows of creatures killed by the user, transforming them into new shadow armies. The more shadow armies there are, the stronger the 'Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain' formation becomes!

The stronger the creature that is killed, the higher the efficiency of converting it into a Shadow Army!

A single Zerg shadow cannot be exchanged for a Shadow Army, but the Zerg swarm has enough numbers to win.

And Li Yelai's speed in clearing out the insect swarm was fast enough!

This caused Li Yelai's shadow army to increase dramatically.

In just one charge, there were already more than two hundred Shadow Soldiers.

Of course, as the number reaches two hundred, the conversion rate into Shadow Soldiers increases significantly. Often, it takes killing more than twenty low-level Zerg to convert one Shadow Soldier.

But Li Yelai knew that as long as he continued to eliminate the insect swarm, he would one day lead a massive army to confront the enemy of humanity!

Li Yelai charged out of a swarm of insects, and the shattered insects behind him were burned by the human legion's finishing blows. As long as all the insect corpses were burned, the insects would be unable to recycle biomass!

However, at this moment, Li Yelai saw the ground in the distance crack, and the huge head of the abyss worm emerged.

This abyssal worm originally intended to directly breach the human underground bunkers and launch an attack from within them, leading its swarm.

However, the fortified bunkers built by humans, along with the defenses of certain forbidden objects, forced it to leave the ground, preparing to open a new battlefield for the Zerg swarm.

The effect of "inevitably encountering a powerful enemy" was triggered, and it happened to appear right in front of Li Yelai!
Li Yelai charged directly at the abyssal worms. He saw that there were still human warriors nearby, so he ordered them to retreat.

Upon seeing the abyss worm, Moonshadow's expression shifted slightly.

The Abyss Worm is actually known as a numerical monster.

Its combat power relies entirely on its weight and size; apart from digging, it has no other special abilities.

However, its psionic barrier is also at the level of the sixth sense. Even a human psionicist at the captain level of the sixth sense cannot kill such a large creature in a short period of time.

Then, Moonshadow shouted, "Night General, launch a defensive attack!"

"Take a gamble? Okay!"

Li Yelai responded with a loud shout. He then immediately used his ability 'Swift as the Wind,' increasing his speed dramatically as he charged towards the abyssal worm. He noticed that there were still human warriors nearby and told them to retreat.

The next second, he charged towards the abyssal worm and was swallowed whole. Or rather, he deliberately rushed into the abyssal worm's mouth, after all, he was still shouting, "I'm fucking here!"

It's absolutely insane.

But Li Yelai was not crazy; he was quite rational.

Li Yelai is not yet proficient in controlling misfortune, but he is quite good at utilizing vehicle killers.

Even the colossal superhuman creature that was the sixth largest in the world, the Mountain Dragon, was killed by him using his vehicle-killing abilities.

Now, dealing with an abyssal worm that is not as powerful as a mountain dragon can naturally be done with a vehicle killer!
Large creatures are all vehicles! With Moonshadow's desperate gamble, he felt even more at ease.

It charged directly into the worm's mouth, rushing into its throat before the abyss worm's teeth could bite down. Its main purpose was to feed it.

Seeing Li Yelai swallowed whole by the Abyss Worm, Moonshadow, the psionicists, and the human legion warriors were all dumbfounded. He clearly said to launch a defensive attack, but Ye Jiang misheard him. He couldn't help but mutter, "You really misheard at the worst possible time!"

Then, lightning crackled around him as he raised his shield and axe, the shield spinning like a chainsaw, with raging crimson lightning flashing.

Meanwhile, as Li Yelai entered the mouth of the abyssal worm, he smelled a nauseating stench and saw the worm's mouth and throat, which were covered in tough keratin layers. It seemed that even inside its body, the abyssal worm had a thick defense. These keratin layers could even withstand the bombardment of molten metal bombs.

Moreover, according to official knowledge about the Abyss Worm, the worm contains a large number of parasites that specifically hunt prey that have been swallowed by the worm but are not yet dead. However, Li Yelai doesn't need to worry about this.

"Let's see how long you can last!"

Li Yelai decisively switched masks, revealing himself as Xiang Yu, the Overlord with Double Pupils!
Weaknesses detected!

Seeing the dark lines indicating weakness on the stratum corneum, Li Yelai thrust out his halberd without hesitation.

With a 'crack', a crack appeared in the tough stratum corneum.

Then, Li Yelai changed his face again, showing his hatred for Li Yuanba!

This was Li Yelai's ideal tactic.

Use shadow troops to restrain or suppress the enemy, exploit weaknesses to break through their defenses, and then use divine generals to launch the strongest attack directly through the openings!
A colossal divine general's image appeared in the abyss worm's enormous esophagus, wielding a long halberd and thrusting it with all his might into the crack!
Outside, golden light shone from the mouth of the abyss worm, which then writhed in agony.

Its enormous size instantly crushed nearby buildings and the swarming insects.

The strategist worm finally noticed something was wrong with this war zone and immediately gave the order for the abyssal worm to burrow back to the surface.

It discovered the danger posed by Li Yelai: a steady stream of advanced Zerg were being lured in by him and killed by the official captain. It had to eliminate this danger!

The abyssal worm let out a agonizing roar, but it didn't have time to escape far before crashing headfirst into a three-story building located in the human's fallen defensive line.

The swarm that occupied it suffered heavy losses.

Ignoring all that, it immediately dug its way out of the battlefield.

This caused Yueying's expression to change slightly: "Stop it! Night General is still in its mouth!"

If the abyss worms escape and return to the swarm-filled underground tunnels, Ye Jiang will be doomed!
However, the abyssal worms that were digging the tunnel suddenly made a sound as if they had seen something terrifying. It was a large room at the bottom of the three-story building, inside which was an old, rustic house.

The courtyard was simple and quiet, with incense smoke wafting from it.

Upon seeing this scene, Yueying's pupils dilated. He naturally knew what it was: a Class C forbidden item, the Rule House.

This is a forbidden object discovered within the giant city. Its essence is a seemingly ordinary ancient courtyard house.

The positive effect is that lighting incense upon entering a residence can clear away mental disturbances. It is generally used to treat psychotic suggestions or hypnosis in psychics.

The price to pay is that if you enter the mansion without following its rules, you will be punished.

The rules are extremely complicated. You must knock three times on the left side of the gate before pushing it open with both hands. You must step onto the threshold with your left foot and not touch it. You must not make loud noises in the courtyard. You must hold incense and kowtow, etc.
Those who break the rules will be subject to terrible punishment.

The effects of punishment vary; severe punishments result in death without a complete body, while milder punishments result in disability or psychological trauma.

It is precisely because of these broken rules that the authorities cannot move it into the Black Prison; they can only build houses in its current location and send personnel to guard it.

It is one of the few forbidden items that were discovered by the authorities but did not enter the Black Prison.

Now, in order to escape back underground, the abyssal worm smashed through the building, allowing the orderly mansion to see the light of day again.

But those who stayed home in the rules wouldn't thank it, because with the reckless impact of the abyssal worm, the gates of the mansion were forcibly pushed open.

This breaks the rules!

In an instant, several giant, pitch-black hands reached out from deep within the house's front door, grabbed the abyss worm's body, and then twisted it forcefully!
'Click' 'Click' 'Click'

A tremendous cracking sound rang out, and the abyss worm was twisted into a dough-like shape!
Its powerful vitality kept it from dying, but the broken bones completely rendered it unable to move.

Blood gushed from its mouth, and Li Yelai and Faxiang were also swept out along with it.

This surprised Li Yelai, who then looked at the orderly courtyard on the side.

The traditional courtyard houses, on the other hand, seem to be something to be ashamed of, or perhaps something to avoid.

The moment Li Ye looked over, the door slammed shut.

Li Yelai's probing gaze was immediately shut out.

Moonshadow was stunned. It all seemed like a coincidence, but he understood that this must be the effect of Li Yelai's vehicle assassin. The strategist worm's orders and the Abyss Worm's panicked escape gradually brought the Abyss Worm, the vehicle, to the front of the Rule Mansion.

"Even forbidden items are part of it. I shouldn't let Night General ride in a car anymore." Moonshadow thought to herself, and swung her shield and axe down to finish off the Abyss Worm.

The abyssal worm had high defense, but in its current severely injured state, it couldn't withstand the crimson lightning and perished instantly. Ultimately, it was just a numerical monster; no matter how high its health, when it could only take hits, its only fate was death.

The strategist worm in this war zone was also shocked. It couldn't understand why a perfectly healthy abyssal worm would be so badly injured and die like this.

No, the question should be: why were those advanced Zerg lured here by this human?
The strategist looked at Li Yelai. Could this psychic be the human's causal weapon?
Humans are incredibly powerful! They must not be allowed to live!
It emitted a piercing insect-like cry: "Kill this human! For the sake of the Queen, summon the Imperial Guard!"

Little did it know that this was also part of the inevitable encounter with a powerful enemy. While it was already suspicious and wary of Li Yelai, it had already entered the game.

Li Yelai, on the other hand, rose from the pool of blood. He dispelled the immensely depleted divine general's avatar.

Blood stained his armor, making him smell foul, but he found it hard to feel excited.

It seems his tactics were very successful; the vehicle killer has once again achieved a remarkable feat!
Haha, the misfortune of being a vehicle killer has ultimately become Li Yelai's ultimate weapon!
However, at this moment, with the encounter with the abyssal worms, the swarm noticed Li Yelai's presence.

Following the strategist's command, a gigantic figure emerged from the depths of the swarm.

That was a gigantic Zerg warrior, about twenty meters in size, larger than the War Bug and even larger than Li Yelai's Dharma Form!
Its body shape resembles a combination of humans and dinosaurs.

It has strong arms, incredibly powerful curved legs, and a huge tail with a dinosaur head.

Its body is covered with sharp and dense bone spikes and bone armor, like a hunting insect wearing thick armor.

With its appearance, the human legion clearly felt a sense of oppression. In addition to its size, the invisible psionic pressure made the psionicists' hearts sink.

Compared to monsters like the Abyss Worm, whose stats reach the sixth awakening level, this insectoid is much stronger and more elite!
Even Captain-level Moonshadow showed a solemn expression when she saw that insectoid creature.

This is the only Zerg unit that the official team discovered that can directly threaten the captain.

The swarm of slayers has finally revealed its trump card!

The strongest Zerg unit currently available: the Forbidden Army!

"Very well, Night General, it seems you've finally lured it out." Moonshadow's expression was grave, yet she chuckled, "Excellent. The target has appeared! Everyone, let the hunt begin!"

The next second, the Imperial Army Insect rushed towards Li Yelai, who was a kilometer away, at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye. The sonic boom it generated shattered all the remaining glass windows of the houses on both sides! The sharp sound resounded throughout the entire battlefield. A giant insectoid with the speed of sound and a body size of more than 20 meters was enough to terrify psionicists just by its impact.

Its original mission was to launch a surprise attack on a human captain-level powerhouse, and then attempt to break through the human defenses and kill that Thunder.

But now, it has an even more important task!

It will kill this human causal weapon with the fastest speed and the most brutal attack!

One move is all it takes! One move is enough to kill Li Yelai! Before the Moon Shadow Captain can stop it, it can kill Li Yelai and quickly retreat from the battlefield!
However, in the next instant, its charging steps suddenly stopped, and an overwhelming sense of fear made it instinctively want to flee the battlefield.

Because, above Li Yelai, a beautiful figure appeared. Her face was pretty, her black hair flowing, like a fairy descended from the heavens to the mortal world, yet she plunged the Imperial Guard Insects into a state of fear.

Those are dolls!

She took off the doll's headgear and floated down from mid-air.

After landing next to Li Yelai, the doll instinctively covered its nose. [Little Yelai is so smelly! o(｀ω*)o]

Upon discovering the appearance of the doll, the Imperial Guard Insect decisively retreated. It knew that it was no match for the two captain-level powerhouses. Although the doll was at the fifth level of awakening, it possessed destructive power that was no less than that of the sixth level of awakening!

However, just as it was about to retreat, a javelin pierced through three buildings and struck its bony armor on its side, knocking it to the ground.

"Now that you're here, don't leave." A square-faced man appeared not far away, clad in gleaming armor and wielding a halberd. Five crimson javelins were strapped to his back, and a blood-red cloak billowed behind him without wind.

Champion Yang Chen!

Not only him, but several captains have also appeared and completely surrounded the Imperial Guard Insects!

This was originally a hunt, a hunt targeting the Imperial Army Insects!
