Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Zhang Chen walked to both sides, but did not go beyond the gap between the two mountains, for fear that he would be discovered. He could also run directly backwards.

Due to limited visibility at night, Zhang Chen walked from the right gap to the left gap and found that the entire gap was filled with dense Zerg. The gap between the two mountains was two kilometers wide. Zhang Chen used the spell of clearing eyes to look outside from the gaps on both sides and found that there were Zerg within a hundred meters.

Zhang Chen roughly estimated that there were about 200,000 Zergs he saw alone, and the actual number was definitely far more than that.

Zhang Chen didn't dare to stay any longer and prepared to go back. At this moment, a Zerg flew near Zhang Chen. It had a pair of big bulging eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth with blood stains on them. It was obvious that it had just returned from hunting.

Fortunately, Zhang Chen used the water invisibility technique, otherwise he would have been discovered by it. However, Zhang Chen looked at its eyes flashing with a faint light and knew that it could definitely see him at night, so he did not dare to be careless.

Zhang Chen stepped back step by step and suddenly stepped on a piece of gravel accidentally, making a little noise. He thought it would not attract attention, but the insect beast's ears stood up and its eyes stared straight at Zhang Chen's position.

Zhang Chen suddenly stood still, fearing that it would discover his flaw. The insect beast stared at him for a while, and when it didn't find anything, it turned its head away.

Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it had not noticed him, and continued to retreat. After taking a few steps, he suddenly saw the insect beast slowly approaching, sniffing its nose non-stop. Zhang Chen didn't know that he was in the upwind position at this time, and the breeze blew, carrying his scent down.

Seeing the insect beast getting closer and closer, and soon to be within five meters, Zhang Chen gritted his teeth and, as soon as it got within five meters, he would condense golden needles to shoot it to death, and then run away quickly.

As Zhang Chen's scent became stronger, the insect beast's eyes also revealed caution. Zhang Chen knew from the look in its eyes that he could not wait any longer, so he immediately condensed a golden needle and shot it straight at its head.

The insect beast was also startled when it saw Zhang Chen suddenly appear. At such a short distance, it couldn't react in time and was shot through the head by the golden needle. Before it died, it let out a miserable groan and fell heavily to the ground.

In an instant, countless insects and beasts at the gap opened their eyes and looked towards the dead insects and beasts. Zhang Chen had already used the Water Hiding Technique again and retreated backwards. He walked very slowly for fear of revealing his figure.

Soon, a larger insect beast came to the side of the dead insect beast, looked at the hole on the head of the dead insect beast, immediately guessed something, and roared towards the gap. Under the vibration of the sound wave, Zhang Chen's water hiding technique suddenly stagnated, and his figure was revealed.

In an instant, countless insects and beasts stared at Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen immediately felt as if his soul was about to escape. He immediately used his body skills to escape towards Wuyun City at a high speed. A large number of insects and beasts behind him also chased after Zhang Chen quickly. At the same time, there was a sound of flapping wings, and a group of flying insects and beasts also chased after Zhang Chen.

The gap was one kilometer long, and it would take Zhang Chen at his fastest speed half a minute to run across it. Besides, it was impossible for Zhang Chen to keep using his physical skills to escape.

Soon the team of flying insect beasts caught up with Zhang Chen and swooped down to attack him. Zhang Chen did not dare to fight them and could only use his body skills to dodge when they were about to attack him. After several times, Zhang Chen had already used his body skills five times and his spiritual energy was rapidly consumed. He had not even run 500 meters and could not help but become anxious.

At this moment, the Zerg behind also caught up. One of the Zerg beasts sprayed out a mouthful of body fluid. Zhang Chen immediately felt the danger and quickly dodged to the side. The body fluid sprayed on the ground and immediately a thick smoke came out. Zhang Chen was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

This delay allowed the insect beasts to get closer, and Zhang Chen could smell their stench. One of the spider-like insect beasts immediately sprayed out a spider web with a black glow on it. Zhang Chen dodged it again, and the spider web covered the mountain wall on the left. Green smoke immediately came out of the mountain wall, and deep scars were eroded by it.

At this time, Zhang Chen looked forward and his face turned pale. More than a dozen flying insect beasts were blocking the front, and the insect beasts behind were already very close.

"It looks like we have to take a risk."

Zhang Chen was flying forward. The sharp fangs of the insect beast in front were already visible, waving its sickle-like forelimbs, waiting to trap Zhang Chen. At this time, the insect beast behind also launched an attack, with highly poisonous saliva, high-temperature gas, and highly corrosive spider silk all attacking Zhang Chen.

At the critical moment, Zhang Chen used the Earth Sinking Technique and immediately sank into the earth. All the attacks from behind him hit the flying insect beast in front of him, and suddenly several strange squeaking sounds were heard.

Zhang Chen immediately used the earth escape technique and fled forward in the soil. However, there were many stones in the soil. Zhang Chen had to jump out of the soil and run forward to escape before he could escape far.

Looking at the Wuyun City Wall that was less than 500 meters long, Zhang Chen was delighted, knowing that he should be able to escape. Zhang Chen could vaguely see figures surging on the city wall, and it was obvious that the movement here must have been transmitted over there.

At this time, the insect beasts behind were getting closer and launched another series of attacks. Zhang Chen had to use his body skills to dodge again. The spiritual energy in his body was almost exhausted, and Zhang Chen's face was getting paler and paler. It looked like the insect beasts were determined to chase him to the end.

They were approaching another 100 meters away from Wuyun City. Seeing that the spiritual energy was running out, Zhang Chen heard the sound of bows and crossbows firing from the city wall. The whizzing sound was endless, and in an instant he felt countless crossbow arrows shooting towards him.

"This is to shoot me too."

Zhang Chen cursed and quickly used the Earth Trap Technique to hide in the ground. After a while, he poked his head out from the ground and saw that all he could see were crossbow arrows as thick as thumbs, and occasionally giant arrows as thick as arms and as long spears.

Dozens of insect beasts chasing behind him were shot into sieves. Zhang Chen felt a chill on his back. He was almost shot to death by his own people. Seeing that there were no insect beasts behind him, he quickly jumped out of the ground and ran towards Wuyun City.

They reached the city wall in a moment. Calling the soldiers inside to open the secret door, Zhang Chen hurried in and breathed a sigh of relief.

So, under the admiring gazes of the soldiers, Zhang Chen returned to his residence. Instead of resting, he quickly reported everything he had discovered.

But what he got in return was a mockery, saying that the information Zhang Chen had discovered was already known and had no value. He was ordered to continue the investigation tomorrow and must find out useful information.

Zhang Chen asked what valuable intelligence was and was told that the location, number, capabilities of the Zerg Queens had been discovered, as well as the direction and time of the Zerg's main attack.

This made Zhang Chen angry. It was already difficult for him to detect these things with his level of cultivation. Asking him to investigate the location of the Insect Mother was clearly a way to send him to his death.
