Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

So the two of them hid in the cave. Zhang Chen planned to stay here for a few days. Lu Chuan couldn't wait for him forever, so he had to go back.

He would find a reason to go back then. Sima Feng had no mission, so he couldn't stay outside like Zhang Chen. After a day, Zhang Chen asked Sima Feng to go back first and he would stay here for a few more days.

Three days later, Zhang Chen felt that the time was ripe, so he left the cave and quietly walked towards Boulder City. He was afraid of being blocked by Lu Chuan on the way, but the mission still had to be completed, otherwise it would be difficult to get away with it when he returned.

Soon Zhang Chen arrived not far from the Boulder City. At this time, the swarm of insects was attacking the city. Zhang Chen watched from a distance for a while, then quietly left and found a reason to go back.

Soon Zhang Chen returned to the Ten Thousand Insect Valley. He wanted to go back directly, but suddenly he heard unusual noises in the valley. Zhang Chen stood outside the valley and saw the trees in the valley shaking constantly, as if some huge monster was swimming.

Zhang Chen hid himself immediately upon seeing this. Soon a giant snake that was ten meters long, as big as a water tank, and almost completely white with many black spots on most of its body rushed out of the valley. All the large trees that blocked its way were directly knocked down. Zhang Chen was amazed at the sight of the snake, and after careful observation he discovered that the snake was actually trying to escape.

The big snake came out of the valley and began to roll from side to side, with its tail and body constantly hitting the rocks beside the valley entrance. Only then did Zhang Chen see clearly that the black spots on the big snake's body were actually countless ant-like insects.

Their sharp jaws bit tightly on the big snake's body, and even though the big snake tried desperately to hit it, they did not let go, but bit even harder. In a moment, the big snake's body was covered in blood. The big snake seemed to have used up all its strength, and lay on the ground motionless. Only its tongue kept retracting and retracting, proving that it was still alive.

The insects biting the big snake were all the size of fists. The big snake's desperate struggle and collision had knocked off more than half of the insects, but many were still left. The big snake had lost its strength at this time and seemed to have accepted its fate. Tears even flowed from its eyes and its expression was full of sadness.

Zhang Chen was not far away. When he saw this scene, he was shocked and immediately decided to save the giant snake.

So Zhang Chen rushed out. The big snake saw that Zhang Chen was holding a sword in his hand and thought it was used to deal with it. It just raised its head weakly and then lay down. It might have felt that dying at the hands of Zhang Chen and those insects was the same.

Zhang Chen took out his magic sword and chopped directly at a bug on the big snake. He quickly cut the bug into two pieces. After losing its body, it soon loosened its mouth and fell off. Zhang Chen did the same thing and soon killed all the bugs on the big snake.

But the big snake remained motionless. If it weren't for the fact that its tongue was still moving, Zhang Chen would have thought it was dead. Looking at the densely packed wounds on the big snake's body, Zhang Chen took out a pill, pried open the snake's mouth, and fed the pill into it.

Then Zhang Chen observed those insects. They were the size of a fist, black all over, with six legs, two pairs of antennae, and a pair of sharp mandibles on their heads. They looked ordinary, but he did not expect that they could subdue such a huge snake.

Zhang Chen found that there were still some alive ones nearby, so when he went to catch them, he found that they were running very fast. Zhang Chen took some effort to catch one. Holding it in his hand, he found that they were very strong. Zhang Chen picked up a branch and put it in front of it, but it bit it directly with its sharp jaws. At the same time, Zhang Chen saw a kind of mucus secreted from its mouth.

Zhang Chen picked up the branch, looked at the mucus on it thoughtfully, then caught a bird nearby, poured the mucus into the bird's mouth, and then let the bird fly away. The bird, which was originally lively and energetic, staggered like a drunk after a while, and fell down after flying not far. After Zhang Chen went over to observe, he found that the bird was not dead and its eyes were still blinking.

"It turns out that this mucus has a paralyzing effect. No wonder it can subdue the big snake."

Then Zhang Chen went to catch a few more bugs, collected some mucus, cut his fingers with the magic sword, and applied the mucus on them. Soon Zhang Chen felt his fingers begin to go numb, slowly spreading to his palms, and finally to his wrists and stopped spreading. Zhang Chen was surprised that the detoxification pill had no effect, and waited for half an hour before the paralyzing effect slowly subsided.

Zhang Chen roughly estimated that if the amount of mucus secreted by more than thirty insects was enough to paralyze his entire body.

Zhang Chen has caught all the insects around the valley entrance. He plans to go into the valley to catch some more and collect some mucus, which can be used to deal with Lu Chuan later.

But before he went in, Zhang Chen heard a rustling sound. Zhang Chen looked carefully and saw countless ant-like insects gathered together in the valley and moved towards the valley entrance. Zhang Chen's face changed and he immediately stepped back and returned to the big snake. The big snake seemed to have recovered some strength at this time, and the paralyzing effect of the mucus was also alleviated a little. With the help of Zhang Chen's elixir, the injury recovered a little, and the big snake began to move slowly.

Then the big snake moved faster and faster, and crawled far away before the arrival of the insect swarm. On the way, it took a deep look at Zhang Chen and left. The insect swarm obviously came for the big snake. Not long after it got out of the valley entrance, it did not find the big snake. After hesitating for a while, it also retreated back into the valley.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen quietly followed the swarm of insects, took out his magic sword, and swung out several sword beams, immediately cutting dozens of insects behind him into two. Before the swarm of insects could react, Zhang Chen killed dozens more and collected the corpses. Seeing that the swarm of insects was about to turn around and attack him, he immediately performed the Cloud-Stepping Step and moved away from the swarm of insects. The swarm of insects could not find Zhang Chen, and finally slowly retreated into the valley.

Zhang Chen came out of the valley, poured out the insect corpses, and began to collect mucus. Dead insects secrete very little mucus, so Zhang Chen finally collected less than twenty insects. Looking at the situation in the valley, Zhang Chen did not dare to enter the valley to collect, so he left and headed towards Black Stone City.

Soon they returned to Black Stone City. Zhang Chen dressed himself up in a very disheveled manner and came to Lu Chuan's room.

"Uncle Master, I encountered a swarm of insects when I went to investigate. I escaped for several days before I came back. It was a narrow escape."

"Well, I'm glad you're back safely. Go and rest first."

Lu Chuan looked at Zhang Chen deeply, and said lightly with a smile that he knew Zhang Chen was lying, but he couldn't expose him, so he casually asked some news about Boulder City and let Zhang Chen leave.

Looking at Zhang Chen leaving, Lu Chuan's face turned gloomy.

"Boy, that's interesting. It seems you have discovered something. But if you want to escape from my grasp, hum..."
