290: The Queen Insect Dream

【Evil Zerg Bone Spur】: A natural artifact, formed from the bone spurs on the feet of the Divine Zerg. There are a total of 108 bone spurs, which are natural divine swords and can form a sword array.

These were the 108 legs of the centipede, which turned into bone spurs after its death. They were surprisingly natural artifacts, and even sword-type ones.

These bone spurs were enormous and incredibly ferocious. Each one was exaggeratedly large, impossible for human physiques to wield. Even giants could use them as long weapons.

Fortunately, Han Huohuo possessed the ability to change size at will, shrinking these massive bone spurs and storing them all in his ears.

After Han Huohuo learned Meditation, his mental power doubled, but he could still only command a maximum of twenty-odd artifacts to attack simultaneously. Before, he lacked artifacts, only having the golden brick, the imperial jade seal, and the Twin Water-Fire Swords. Now, with these bone spurs, artifacts were miraculously in surplus.

“Hmm, I need to strengthen my mental power training in the future,” Han Huohuo thought.

Then, looking at a key, he suddenly felt as if he had a special connection with keys, always obtaining various strange ones.

【Key to the Zerg Secret Chamber】: This is a key that can open the Zerg Secret Chamber. Inside the Zerg Secret Chamber are the Insect God's most precious collections.

“I'll put it away for now.”

After putting Han Huohuo down, Northern Darkness, having absorbed the divine blood, had an inexhaustible supply of energy. He soared into the sky again, diving down to peck at any Zerg he saw. There were only a few Zerg left on the battlefield anyway, and he bit them all to death.

The surroundings were a mess.

Soon after, the gates of Rakshasa City opened, and a large number of mechanical robots emerged to clean up the battlefield.

Afterward, it was tallied that this battle resulted in the loss of 21 Avengers, over 70 bombers, and countless Floating Turret Flamethrower plasma cannons.

Fortunately, the gundam was smart and flew directly tens of thousands of meters high, escaping the calamity. This Insect God was truly terrifying.

The death of the Insect God also shocked the entire Zerg, and all the Zerg began to retreat.

Only Northern Darkness flew proudly in the sky, as if inspecting his own territory.

Han Huohuo suddenly noticed that Northern Darkness's name had changed again. Was this a change after its advancement?

【Kunpeng】: This is an ancient mythical beast named Northern Darkness. It absorbed the blood of a God, accelerating its growth. It has now reached the eighth-tier level.

【Combat Power】: Strength 500, Defense 500, Stamina 1000, Intelligence 30.

【Special Skills】: Flight: Super long-range flight capability.

Swiftness: Extremely fast flight speed.

Dragon Slayer: Exerts bloodline suppression on Dragons, dealing 50% extra damage when attacking Dragons.

Zerg Slayer: Exerts bloodline suppression on Zerg, causing a deterrent effect when attacking Zerg, making them panic.

【Loyalty】 100

So Northern Darkness was a descendant of the Kunpeng, no wonder it had a natural suppressive effect on Dragons. Han Huohuo remembered the legend that an adult Kunpeng's wingspan was thousands of miles long, soaring ninety thousand miles straight up, feeding on Dragons.

Although it had consumed a little divine blood and grown a bit, it was still far from adulthood. Northern Darkness had also stepped into the threshold of the eighth tier.

His entire body ached. Han Huohuo was both shocked and scared today.

He didn't return to Tongtian City that night, instead staying in Rakshasa City.

The conditions here were, of course, not as good as the Mythical Main Camp in Tongtian City, but Han Huohuo was too tired. He lay down and fell asleep like a dead pig.

In a daze, he had a dream.

A little girl in red clothes skipped over, staring at Han Huohuo curiously.

Han Huohuo's hair stood on end, and he trembled all over. In his dream, he felt that this little girl was even more terrifying than the Demons.

“Who… are you?” Han Huohuo couldn't help but ask.

“Ha, I came to see you. You killed one of my Great Generals, are you very capable? Alas! General Centipede just wouldn't listen to me. I told it that the East was very dangerous, not to go there, but it was misled by a damned Old Emperor and insisted on going to the East to see. It sought its own death, so I don't blame you.”

“Well, it's good that you don't blame me,” Han Huohuo immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the little girl say this.

“Alright, I just came to see you and now I'm leaving. Remember to visit the West when you have time, there's something you need there. Oh, and you also need to guard against that damned bad Old Emperor, he's very bad.”

The little girl smiled and skipped away.

Han Huohuo saw that as the little girl left, there was a sting on her butt, swinging back and forth as she skipped.

It looked very interesting.

But Han Huohuo was terrified.

He remembered that sting; it was the Mother Insect's sting. But the last time he saw this sting, it was hundreds of kilometers long.

With a sudden loud cry, Han Huohuo was drenched in sweat and woke up with a start. There was a strange smell in the air, as if something had just been there.

It scared him to death.

Unable to sleep anymore, he put on his clothes and walked out of the room. He saw Northern Darkness sleeping soundly on the plaza outside, clearly unaffected.

He walked alone onto the city wall and saw the mechanical workers still busy in the night, still cleaning up the battlefield.

These mechanical workers not only had to recover damaged mechanical parts but also collect a large number of Zerg drops. It would probably take them several days to finish.

There was too much stuff on the battlefield.

Several moons passed overhead in succession. The stars twinkled, and the night in this Different World was surprisingly beautiful.

But Han Huohuo's heart wasn't there; he was still thinking about the little girl in red from his dream. Was she really the Mother Insect?

How did she enter his dream?

A Zerg skilled in illusions? Could she enter someone's dreams from hundreds of thousands of miles away? She told him to go to the West to see, that there was something he needed there? What exactly did that mean?

It was simply too terrifying.

Unable to sleep anymore, Han Huohuo stayed on the city wall, watching the distant horizon until the sun rose.

Northern Darkness woke up and was running around, spreading his wings, proudly approaching Han Huohuo.

“How far can you fly in one go now?” Han Huohuo asked Northern Darkness.

“Caw!”

“Hmm, very good. After we eat our fill, we'll go on a long journey in a bit!” Han Huohuo said, patting Northern Darkness's head and smiling.

“Caw!”

The man and the eagle ate and drank their fill, then soared into the sky. Han Huohuo took Northern Darkness and flew westward. Han Huohuo had a gut feeling that the little girl had no intention of harming him.

The further west they went, the more desolate it became.

Soon, they reached the traditional Zerg territory, where Zerg were everywhere, and foul, stinking water flowed.

He made Northern Darkness fly high; the stench soared into the sky, it was too terrible.

The Zerg really had no hygiene!

Giant Zerg were everywhere, but Zerg Kings were still very rare.

Northern Darkness flew for tens of thousands of miles in one go. Han Huohuo saw a Gao Shan, and on the Gao Shan, there was even a God Temple.

Northern Darkness let out a cry, and the sound waves spread throughout the entire Gao Shan. The Zerg were so scared they scattered and fled. The Zerg around the God Temple even had weak legs, collapsing directly onto the ground in fright.

They landed directly in front of the God Temple.
