88: You are special!
With a long howl, he transformed into a silver meteor, shooting straight into the deep pit.
The instant the bone blade sliced through the fleshy barrier, the wriggling tissues suddenly erupted with countless tentacles.
However, as soon as these tentacles touched the bone blade, they rapidly withered and carbonized.
Fang Zhiqiang followed closely; the moment his hands pressed against the ground, the edges of the deep pit suddenly bulged with jagged rock spikes.
The newly hatched, mutated insects were impaled by the rock spikes and strung together like bloody “candied haws” before they could even crawl out of their nests.
In a flash, the fleshy barrier was pierced, creating a massive, deep hole.
An Changyang and Fang Zhiqiang charged in first, followed closely by Blood Skyhawk and Su Yun.
This was their pre-arranged plan: An Changyang and Fang Zhiqiang were responsible for clearing the path, Blood Skyhawk would guard the rear to deal with any potential emergencies, and Su Yun was their final trump card.
Along the way, the four moved almost unhindered, encountering virtually no resistance from insects.
After ten minutes of traversing, they finally reached the lowest level.
At this moment, all four stared in unison at the gigantic thousand-meter-tall insect egg before them, involuntarily swallowing.
“Is this the Mother Insect’s egg?” Fang Zhiqiang stared intently at the giant egg, asking with a hint of disbelief.
“It’s too big! How are we going to take it with us?!” An Changyang said, frowning.
“I just feel like something isn’t right,” An Changyang added, “We’ve come all this way, but why haven’t we seen a single insect?”
“Could all the insects have been lured away by that person?” Blood Skyhawk speculated, but then shook his head, “But it shouldn’t be that not a single one was left, right?”
After a moment of thought, Blood Skyhawk suggested, “No matter what, we need to figure out a way to get this egg to the Bay first.”
Hearing this, the other three fell into contemplation.
An Changyang spoke first: “This egg is so big; it’s going to be very difficult for us to move it with our current strength. If we also have insects harassing us, it’ll be almost impossible to complete the mission.”
Fang Zhiqiang also chimed in: “Stone Wolf is right, this egg is really too big. Unless we can find someone stronger to help.”
Blood Skyhawk’s frown deepened after hearing this.
Indeed, with their strength, they simply couldn’t move such a massive insect egg.
Just then, Blood Skyhawk suddenly felt someone poke him in the back.
He turned around to see Su Yun and asked in confusion, “You have a way?”
Su Yun didn’t answer; he simply pulled out the destiny coin silently.
Seeing this, the three instantly fell silent.
This was indeed a good method, but the problem was—this thing was a bit of a trap.
If they didn’t use it, they really had no way to deal with this insect egg.
If they did use it, it might cause even more trouble later.
The three exchanged glances, falling into silence for a moment.
“Should we use it?” An Changyang asked tentatively.
“But what about the consequences? This isn’t a small wish,” Fang Zhiqiang said with a frown.
“If we don’t use it, we’re out of options,” An Changyang said, spreading his hands in helplessness.
Fang Zhiqiang was silent for a moment, finally letting out a sigh.
At this point, Blood Skyhawk slapped his hand down: “Let’s use it! We have no other choice.”
“If we keep dragging this out, it’ll only get more troublesome once the insects react.”
“Might as well just use it.”
An Changyang and Fang Zhiqiang exchanged a look and nodded heavily.
“Then…” Fang Zhiqiang hesitated, “Who’s going to use it this time?”
As soon as he spoke, the other three all looked at him in unison.
Then, they all nodded simultaneously, their meaning clear: the three of us have all used it, you’re the only one who hasn’t, so it’s your turn this time.
Fang Zhiqiang’s mouth twitched. Although he was reluctant, he didn’t refuse. He picked up the destiny coin directly and tossed it casually.
The destiny coin arced through the air, emitting a crisp “ding—” sound, and landed steadily in Fang Zhiqiang’s hand.
It was heads up, showing the benevolent girl.
Seeing this, everyone felt a slight sense of relief.
Although they weren’t entirely clear about the difference between heads and tails, at least heads showed a benevolent girl, which was surely better than the evil girl on the reverse side, right?
Fang Zhiqiang didn’t hesitate and immediately made his wish: “I wish to find a way to bring this Mother Insect egg to the Bay.”
He didn’t directly wish for the egg to be sent to the Bay, but only wanted to find a method.
After all, directly getting this egg to the Bay sounded a bit too difficult, and if anything went wrong, it would be troublesome.
Simply asking for a method shouldn’t be too hard, right?
Fang Zhiqiang felt uncertain.
The last time Blood Skyhawk made a wish, he only wanted to see the “Critical Point,” but ended up inexplicably summoning the Sword Saint.
That time seemed to be due to the influence of the evil girl, but this time it was the benevolent girl…
It shouldn’t summon something like a Sword Saint again, right?
Thump—
Thump—
A series of footsteps sounded, and the atmosphere instantly tensed.
The three of them looked in the direction of the sound in unison.
A graceful figure gradually appeared, and as the footsteps drew closer, the figure became clearer.
She was an almost naked woman, covered only by a few pieces of armor.
Her black-purple hair cascaded like a waterfall down to her calves, and her enchanting figure made it impossible to look away.
An Changyang’s and Fang Zhiqiang’s eyes were instantly captivated, completely ignoring other details.
But Blood Skyhawk was not swayed by her beauty; he remained vigilant and asked, “Who are you?”
The woman didn’t answer immediately, instead slowly scanning everyone with a pair of amethyst-like eyes.
Wherever her gaze fell, it was as if even the air solidified.
“Who am I?” she softly countered, her tone as smooth as silk, yet carrying an unsettling chill, “Didn’t you wish to take me away? And now you’re asking me ‘who I am’?”
This single sentence stunned all four people present.
“Aren’t you a monster? How can you speak?” Su Yun finally couldn’t help but ask.
As an original body clone, he had always thought that fusions had no consciousness, so the sudden appearance of one that could speak naturally caught his attention.
However, as soon as the words left his mouth, Blood Skyhawk immediately covered his mouth.
The woman seemed to fall into a brief contemplation after hearing this, and after a moment, her gaze refocused on Su Yun.
“You… are very special,” she said softly, her tone carrying a hint of inquiry, “I feel a strange familiarity, but I can’t quite recall.”
“As for why I can speak, it’s simple: I ate your humans, acquired your memories, and naturally, I can speak.”
