Xiaoxiao.

"Buzz buzz buzz..." A deafening, thunderous insect chirping suddenly rang out, echoing through the sky! Looking around, countless venomous insects were flying everywhere, like a black torrent, blotting out the sun and surging towards the three of them.

These poisonous insects ranged in size from as large as a thumb to as small as a sesame seed.

Its two eyes were densely packed with countless hexagons arranged in a regular pattern, as if swarming around a beehive. What was most astonishing was its barbed mouthparts, which protruded from its mouth and were as long as half its body, covered with fine, sharp spikes.

The spikes gleamed with a faint metallic glint, and were extremely sharp.

Its wasp-waisted body extends outward from the middle with two pairs of fleshy wings, each twice the length of its body, one large and one small, distributed on both sides of its body.

A poisonous needle, shrouded in moisture, extends from the top-shaped tail. When the needle extends, the misty water turns the air black.

Once the inky air drifts onto the trunk of the giant tree, it immediately produces a huge cloud of smoke.

After the smoke dissipated, the huge tree, which took ten people to barely encircle, was riddled with a hole large enough to fit two adults.

Only then did the three notice that the giant tree in front of them was almost covered with holes of all sizes. The stingers of these poisonous insects were so venomous that they sent chills down their spines.

The entire body of the poisonous insects radiated a dark metallic luster, and Kuang Zheng even saw some of them accidentally bump into trees.

The tree immediately emitted a dull thud as if hit by a bullet, and upon closer inspection of the spot where the poisonous insect had struck, a clear insect-shaped mark was clearly visible.

The hard tree trunk was dented, but the insect flew away unharmed, demonstrating the toughness of its body.

In the blink of an eye, the three were completely engulfed by the overwhelming swarm of poisonous insects.

Seeing this, they dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately launched an attack.

These venomous insects not only have sharp mouthparts and very hard bodies, but what's even more terrifying is that they also have highly venomous stingers.

Now I finally understand why the remains of the giant beasts in the canyon showed no signs of resistance; I originally thought they were the graves of wild beasts.

Because some wild beasts choose a place to die when their time comes, over time, wild beast graveyards are formed.

There are many such places in the wilderness, and only those wild beasts that die of old age can leave so peacefully.

At first, they thought this was also a graveyard for wild beasts, but they realized that it was not like that at all when these poisonous insects appeared.

What kind of savage beast graveyard is this? It's clearly the lair of these poisonous insects.

These wild beasts, unaware of the dangers of this place, rashly ventured in, only to be attacked by a swarm of countless poisonous insects.

Under the double attack of the mouthparts and the poison needles, there was no room for resistance.

They became food for these poisonous insects without even realizing it, even though they were initially amazed by the size of the tomb!

But this is no graveyard for wild beasts; it's clearly a feeding ground for poisonous insects!

Faced with the overwhelming swarm of poisonous insects, how could the people dare to hesitate?

Various methods were employed, and explosions resounded everywhere.

But the endless stream of poisonous insects showed no signs of decreasing, still surging in from all directions like a tidal wave.

Soon, a giant insect mountain, over a hundred meters high, had sprung up where the three of them were! This insect mountain stood majestically, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

Despite the formation of a mountain of insects, the poisonous creatures continued to pour out from all directions as if they were endless. They flapped their wings and flew into the air, then swarmed towards the three of them with fearless ferocity.

In an instant, poisonous insects swarmed across the mountains and fields, blotting out the sun.

Seeing this, the group quickly intensified their attack. After nearly half an hour of continuous assault, the number of poisonous insects finally began to decrease.

The three of them finally got a much-needed chance to catch their breath...

Although the individual attack power of these poisonous insects is limited, their numbers are too great.

After several people continuously exerted their energy, their spiritual energy was nearly exhausted.

She hadn't noticed it before, but now that she suddenly relaxed, Ying Yue felt even more dizzy and lightheaded.

Fortunately, Kuang Zheng, who was beside her, noticed her abnormality in time and quickly helped her up.

Seeing Kuang Zheng's concern, Ying Yue smiled and said, "I'm fine, it's just that my spiritual energy was used up too much. I'll be fine after a rest."

Her face was as pale as paper; this was clearly not due to overexertion, but rather exhaustion.

Kuang Zheng was filled with anxiety; he knew he had to leave this place as soon as possible.

Because everyone was exhausted, Wu Ren, who was standing to the side, was already breathing heavily, even though his limbs were not weak.

Every minute spent here increases the danger.

Thinking of this, Kuang Zheng immediately quickened his pace to leave.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

Suddenly, a dark gray light shot out from the sky, which was obscured by trees. This light was as dazzling as lightning that ripped through the night sky.

Along with the appearance of the light, a buzzing sound of insects, a hundred times louder than before, rang out.

The light suddenly dimmed, finally revealing its true form.

It turned out to be a "ball of insects" secretly wrapped by countless poisonous insects, and the entire "ball of insects" was releasing powerful energy outward.

The rays of light emanated from the waist of the poisonous insect. As these rays continued to shoot out, the once tightly sealed and indestructible mountain of insects suddenly trembled slightly.

Then, the tremors became increasingly violent, like a volcano about to erupt, gathering its final burst of power.

Finally, at a certain moment, the entire Insect Mountain could no longer withstand this powerful force, and with a loud bang, a tremendous explosion occurred!

"Boom boom boom..." The loud noise was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, or like ten thousand drums beating at once. Its power was so great that it even made the entire canyon tremble.

Amidst billowing smoke and raging flames, the massive insect mountain was blasted to pieces in an instant, turning into countless tiny droplets that flew in all directions.

The force of the explosion reached the three of them in the blink of an eye.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The enormous impact was so sudden that the three of them didn't even notice it and were swallowed up by the massive energy in the blink of an eye.

Exhausted, Ying Yue fainted from the violent impact, and Wu Ren, who was standing nearby, was also knocked unconscious by the huge shockwave in less than three breaths.

As the two fell unconscious, the gray mist immediately seeped into their bodies.

Their faces turned black at a visible speed, clearly indicating that they had been poisoned by the stinger of the venomous insect.

Upon seeing this, Kuang Zheng quickly used his spiritual energy to protect their heart meridians, but this brief pause caused him to be blasted away by the powerful force.

Fortunately, he sealed his six senses in time; otherwise, this brief moment of respite would have caused him to be poisoned immediately.

Taking advantage of the moment he was blasted away, he desperately circulated the spiritual energy within his body, and finally escaped the center of the explosion at the critical moment when the shock wave dissipated.

The instant he flew away, the place where he had been standing was once again engulfed by a massive explosion.

It turned out that the poisonous insects, seeing that conventional methods were ineffective against the three, launched a coordinated self-destruction.

The collective self-destruction of countless poisonous insects generated tremendous power. Caught off guard, Kuang Zheng and his companions were caught off guard and took advantage of the situation, resulting in two of them falling unconscious and one being injured.

Although he avoided the fatal blow, the prolonged depletion of his spiritual energy, coupled with the impact of the massive explosion's aftershocks, had left him at his limit.

But the poisonous insects quickly caught up, and the self-destruction began again...
