Zhang Chen and his parents arrived at the town center, which was already crowded with people.

"I heard that not only the west side was attacked by bugs, but also the south and north sides."

"I heard there are a lot of strange bugs out there, like spiders, and as big as calves."

"There are also giant bugs like ants, covered in jet-black armor, densely packed everywhere."

……

……

A constant stream of information came into Zhang Chen's ears, making him feel panicked.

The sky gradually brightened, and suddenly a group of black spots appeared in the sky, slowly flying towards the crowd. When they got closer, they could be seen clearly that they were some ugly and terrifying insects. Their huge eyes reflected a captivating cold light in the sunlight, and their long and sharp fangs opened and closed. A strong fishy smell filled the air, scaring people into screaming.

At this moment, a white light flashed in the air, and a group of insects were separated from their heads and bodies and fell to the ground. The remaining insects were frightened and immediately flapped their wings desperately to escape, but they were still not faster than the speed of the flying knife. In less than a moment, they were all killed.

"You damned bugs, you dare to cross the border to provoke me? I will make sure you never come back."

Before he finished speaking, the young man leaped forward and headed straight out of the town.

"That's the Immortal Master. We are safe. With the Immortal Master here, we will definitely be safe."

Someone in the crowd cried out in surprise, shocking many people. The man's move just now was like a miracle, and the horrible insects were slaughtered like sheep. Everyone's fearful and nervous expressions eased a lot. Looking at the insect corpses that fell nearby, they were still trembling slightly, but the crowd was not so scared anymore.

On the east wall of the city, a middle-aged man in black armor was standing on the city wall with a gun in his hand. He was the commander of the 500 armored cavalrymen who had just been transferred to guard this town, Zhu Zhengtian.

He looked at the dense swarm of insects outside the city with a frown. He sent a hundred cavalrymen to the west, north and south respectively, and had them charge back and forth around the wall of Heping Town. The cavalrymen and horses were all wearing thick armor, which temporarily stopped the insects, but with the continuous attack of the insects, they could not stop for long.

"General, we have found the mother of these insects. It's on a hill 500 meters away from the town." An armored soldier pointed to a place and reported.

The insects are all commanded by the insect queen. Generally, low-level insects have no intelligence and can only act based on their nature. But once they are controlled by the insect queen, they will be like an army, with strict discipline and mutual coordination. Their attack will be multiplied several times. Therefore, when a swarm of insects attacks a city, the insect queen is usually eliminated first. Once the insect queen dies, the remaining insects will be leaderless and may even kill each other, making it much easier to deal with them.

"Okay, we finally found it. Gather all the remaining cavalry. I will lead the charge and attack the insect queen directly. As long as we kill it, the insect swarm will definitely retreat without a fight."

Zhu Zhengtian gave orders to his deputy. He actually had his own thoughts in mind. He knew that there were immortal masters in the town, so he also wanted to show off in front of these immortal masters.

"General, the troops have been assembled." The deputy came to report.

"Open the gates and set off."

Zhu Zhengtian put on his helmet, picked up his spear, mounted his warhorse, and headed straight for the hills in the south. The two hundred cavalrymen behind him were all equipped with long swords and spears, and were wearing thick iron armor. They ran like a mighty army, unstoppable. They followed him in a neat formation and killed him.

"Catch the leader first. Yes, the general has found a good time."

I saw a young man standing in the sky, his feet were not suspended in the air, but standing on a flying sword. His long sleeves fluttered, looking so comfortable!

He had just discovered the existence of the insect mother and was about to destroy it, but he didn't expect that this army would also charge over. Looking at the neatly arranged army formation and the mighty appearance, he was quite interested, so he slowed down his pace to see the excitement.

This person's name is Sun Quanhu. He is a disciple of Qingyu Sect, one of the best immortal cultivation sects in Daqing. There is a Yuanying ancestor in the sect, and under him are seven Jindan elders. One is already in the late Jindan stage, and the sect leader is close to the peak of the late Jindan stage and is expected to reach the Yuanying stage within fifty years.

He came here this time with his junior sister to recruit new disciples for the sect, and to check the movements of the Zerg along the way. After the war between humans and Zerg more than a hundred years ago, things have been peaceful for a long time.

"Did these insect swarms cross the border secretly, or were they deliberately sent out by the Zerg to test us? We must report this phenomenon to the sect and remind them to pay attention."

Sun Quanhu watched the armored army strangling the Zerg, thinking as he watched.

"After we repel the insect swarm, I will just look in this town to see if there are any people suitable for cultivating immortals. However, the insect queen is not so easy to kill, so I guess they will suffer a lot." Sun Quanhu said as he looked at the cavalrymen who were getting closer and closer to the insect queen.

At this time, the armored cavalry led by General Zhu had already rushed to the hillside. The surrounding insects, feeling threatened by the insect mother, rushed over to block it. But they could not resist the cavalry's charge. They were knocked aside by the charging cavalry. Those who rushed to the side were also pierced by the cavalry's spears.

At this time, a huge insect raised its head from the swarm. It was obviously several times larger than the surrounding insects, especially its head which was obviously larger than its body, causing it to be less agile than other insects. It opened its mouthparts and sent a violent wave towards the cavalry.

The charging war horses suddenly let out a whine and jumped up, and the cavalrymen also covered their heads and screamed.

Zhu Zhengtian's face turned pale, and the severe headache made him unable to exert any strength at all. The charging cavalry slowly stopped. The army formation was also in chaos, and the cavalry huddled together. They could not exert their strength at all.

The nearby insect swarms immediately took advantage of the situation and surrounded him. Looking at the insects approaching step by step, he gave a bitter smile. He had wanted to show off, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated his opponent!

The dense swarm of insects, covered in black armor, flashed coldly in the sun, their blood-red eyes revealed their bloodlust and cruelty, their wide-open mouths revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, and they rushed towards the cavalry.

Watching the swarm of insects approaching little by little, the soldiers gripped their swords tightly, ready for a life-and-death fight.

At this moment, the insect queen suddenly looked up at the sky, and its big compound eyes revealed panic. It turned around hurriedly and was about to drill into the cave that had been prepared nearby.

"Still want to run"

Sun Quanhu shouted loudly and swung the flying blade in his hand towards the insect mother's neck.

Seeing that it was too late to run away, the insect mother desperately launched a powerful sound wave attack at Sun Quanhu.

Sun Quanhu offered a bronze bell, which quickly grew larger to protect Sun Quanhu inside. The sound waves hit the bronze bell with a clang, but Sun Quanhu inside was not affected at all.

When the Insect Mother saw this, her eyes were filled with panic, but the blade was already in front of her and there was no obstacle. Just like cutting tofu, the Insect Mother's head was cut off.

The swarms near the worm mother retreated in fear, and the other swarms trembled at the moment of the worm mother's death. The swarms that were still preparing to attack the cavalry also stopped immediately, with a look of confusion on their faces. After slowly waking up, the swarms quickly retreated to the distant mountains and forests.

Zhu Zhengtian and the soldiers all looked as if they had escaped by chance! Zhu Zhengtian looked around and saw that there was no living insect left except for the dead insects. It seemed that all the insects had really retreated.

A figure appeared next to General Zhu. It was Sun Quanhu who had just killed the Insect Mother. He had just discovered that the cavalry led by Zhu Zhengtian was attacked by the Insect Mother, so he immediately took action. Otherwise, they would have suffered heavy losses by now.

"It turned out that the Immortal Master took action, otherwise we would have been fed to the insects by now."

When General Zhu saw Sun Chenghu, he immediately dismounted and knelt down, and all the cavalrymen dismounted to thank the immortal master for saving their lives.

"It's just a small favor, but I also have a small matter to trouble General Zhu," Sun Chenghu said to General Zhu.

"Master, please just speak up. As long as I can do it, I will definitely get it done for you." General Zhu bowed to Sun Chenghu with an extremely respectful attitude.

Sun Chenghu turned to General Zhu and said, "I will be selecting people who are suitable for cultivating immortality in the center of town in three days. General, please notify them for me. Anyone under the age of sixteen can come."

"It is a great honor for me, Zhu, to be able to help the Immortal Master. I will definitely get this matter done for the Immortal Master." General Zhu bowed and answered loudly.

"This is a healing pill. As long as the injury is not fatal, it can be recovered. If you are not injured, taking it can also strengthen your body." Sun Quanhu took out a pill and handed it to General Zhu.

General Zhu only felt a refreshing fragrance coming towards him, and the energy he had just consumed seemed to have been restored a lot.

"Thank you, Master, for the elixir." General Zhu bowed his head and almost knelt down.

"Yeah," Sun Quanhu responded, then soared into the sky and went straight into the town.

All the soldiers looked at Sun Quanhu's figure and the pills in General Zhu's hand with envy.
