115: Chapter 115: The Insect Queen Goes on a Rampage! The Second-Year Team Gets Blamed!

The Zerg throughout the entire underground maze all stopped moving.

The next second, hundreds of millions of compound eyes lit up simultaneously, turning toward the direction of the nursery.

A shrill screech pierced through the strata.

The ground trembled, and the flesh-cloud overhead writhed incessantly.

All Zerg in the entire Plane, regardless of rank, regardless of distance, transformed into a black tsunami, surging toward Lin Yuan's location.

The shadow of death completely enveloped Lin Yuan.

Under this plane-wide suppression, the circulation of Lin Yuan's Divine Power experienced a momentary stagnation.

His bones emitted a clicking friction sound, as if they would be ground into powder the next second.

"Tch."

Lin Yuan snorted coldly.

"Acting now is too late."

He showed no panic.

Flipping his left wrist, the [Void Armor-Breaking Shuttle], swirling with silver spatial Law, appeared in his palm.

He injected Divine Power.

The diamond-shaped metal shuttle erupted with brilliant silver radiance.

Break!

A force of space Law at the True God level erupted from within.

It easily sliced a gap through the Zerg Mother's materialized mental lock and the sealed world barrier of the Plane.

The previously rock-solid spatial blockade surrounding him crumbled instantly.

A silver one-way jump tunnel formed behind Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest; he exerted force with his legs. His figure retreated violently, leaping into the tunnel.

Just as half his body submerged into the tunnel, a furious mental screech echoed from the depths of Plane 093.

The Royal Larva had been stolen!

This immense humiliation, coupled with the disdainful composure Lin Yuan showed before leaving, undoubtedly ignited the Zerg Mother's rage.

As the ruler of the Plane, how could it swallow this insult!

Rumble!

The sky of the entire Plane 093 turned blood-red in the blink of an eye.

The Zerg Mother went completely berserk.

It abandoned conventional pursuit and urged the nearest tens of thousands of high-rank Zerg to burn their lives.

The Diamond-rank and Platinum-rank Zerg guards closest to the nursery had their bodies swell like inflated balloons.

Then, they charged headlong without hesitation toward the closing jump tunnel.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dense sounds of self-destruction exploded at the tunnel entrance.

Highly concentrated corrosive acid mixed with Void Realm shockwaves to form a destructive torrent of energy, pouring into the spatial tunnel.

But this was not enough.

The Zerg Mother mobilized the Origin power of the entire Plane to the limit.

This mobilization far exceeded the limit its own body could bear.

Deep in the Plane, countless wounds cracked open on the Zerg Mother's body surface, with dark green blood flowing freely.

It suffered severe backlash from the Law.

But it did not care.

It wanted this ant who dared to lay hands on the Royal Larva to die in the spatial turbulence!

Crack!

Inside the jump tunnel, Lin Yuan was in a state of high-speed teleportation.

The surrounding silver tunnel barrier suddenly emitted a crisp sound, and the spatial tunnel experienced severe deceleration.

The sensation of weightlessness was replaced by an intense crushing feeling.

Lin Yuan watched helplessly behind him.

Countless Zerg limbs and Void Realm shockwaves squeezed in through the cracks in the tunnel.

"Damn it."

Lin Yuan cursed inwardly.

Is this Zerg Mother sick?

Risking severe injury and backlash, burning even the Plane's Origin, just to intercept a one-way tunnel?

I only took an unhatched larva; it's not like I dug up their Zerg ancestral graves!

Complaints aside, Lin Yuan's hands did not stop for a moment.

The tunnel was blocked, and the torrent of Zerg self-destructing from behind was already closing in on his back.

There was nowhere to hide.

A fierce look flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes; the Divine Fire in his Sea of Consciousness burned, and he squeezed out his Divine Power without reservation.

Exclusive Divine Art, [Wither-Bloom Mark]!

Lin Yuan formed seals with both hands, his left hand wreathed in Death Qi, his right hand brimming with vitality.

"Wither!"

A gray-black ripple centered on him swept outward in a fan shape toward the rear.

The thousands of Zerg remains charging at the front, as well as the living flying insects squeezing in through the cracks—upon touching this layer of gray-black ripple, their carapaces lost their luster.

Their life force was forcibly drained, and they turned into ashes filling the sky mid-air, their self-destruction sequences cut off.

But this only delayed them for a second.

More of the Zerg sea torrent filled the gaps, continuing to crush forward.

Lin Yuan's eyes were cold; he struck out heavily with his right hand.

"Thrive!"

Extreme vitality transformed into specks of emerald green light, scattering toward the Zerg swarm behind.

In the Laws of the Divine Script, vitality is used for healing and reproduction.

But in Lin Yuan's hands, excessive vitality is poison.

The emerald green light submerged into the Zerg swarm.

These insects were already in a berserk state, and upon receiving this unreasonable injection of vitality, their cells began to divide uncontrollably.

Visible to the naked eye, fleshy tumors grew on the surface of each flying insect's body.

Their antennae thickened and lengthened, eventually tangling and knotting together.

Their wings grew deformities, piercing through their own carapaces.

"Screech—"

A hair-raising chorus of screams rang out inside the tunnel.

Because of the infinite cell proliferation, the bodies of thousands of Zerg could no longer withstand this deformed swelling.

Bang, bang, bang!

They exploded directly in mid-air into clumps of rotten meat.

This explosion caused by excess vitality did not carry any characteristics of a Void Realm shockwave.

Instead, it used a pile of rotten meat to block the charge path of the Zerg swarm behind.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Yuan slapped the remaining vitality of the Thrive mark into his own body.

At the tunnel exit ahead, the black rock layer of the Dead Star was already vaguely visible.

Three seconds.

He only needed to hold on for three more seconds to escape completely.

Just at the very last moment when Lin Yuan was about to step out of the tunnel, the Zerg Mother deep in the Plane emitted a desperate and spiteful screech.

It overspent its remaining conscious will, kneading all the Plane Laws together.

A bone spike formed entirely from dark purple Void Realm Law pierced through layers of space.

Ignoring the distance of the tunnel, it appeared behind Lin Yuan.

Too fast.

So fast that even the Wither-Bloom Mark couldn't react in time.

Pfft!

Blood splattered.

The dark purple bone spike, with unstoppable force, easily pierced through Lin Yuan's left shoulder.

The immense impact force carried Lin Yuan's body flying forward, until it smashed through the final layer of the tunnel exit's barrier.

A flash of light.

Lin Yuan fell onto the metal floor of the Dead Star No. 3 launch pad, rolling more than ten meters before steadying his figure.

The tunnel behind him collapsed, and specks of silver light dissipated under the irradiation of cosmic rays.

Meanwhile.

Plane 093, outer region.

The depression where the Sophomore Team was hiding.

Chen Feng was sweating profusely as he buried the last high-rank Formation Plate into the ground, preparing to activate the [Four Symbols Concealment Formation].

"Captain, are you almost done? Why do I feel a bit panicked?"

Lanky stared fixedly at the radar screen, his voice trembling.

"Shut up, don't get distracted!"

Chen Feng gritted his teeth, his fingers forming seals rapidly, "Three more nodes!"

The Short-haired Senior Sister wiped the cold sweat from her forehead: "The shadow-type energy signature on the radar has disappeared. He must have snuck into the depths of the main nest. What a madman."

Just as Chen Feng was about to press the button to activate the Formation Plate.

Hum!

A mental storm, terrifying to the point where it could not be described in words, was launched from the direction of the main nest.

It was not an attack aimed at a single target, but an indiscriminate plane-wide sweep by the Zerg Mother in its berserk state!

The Formation Plate in Chen Feng's hand emitted a screeching sound.

Crack!

Countless cracks appeared on the surface of the Formation Plate.

Immediately after, the Formation Flags and Formation bases they had painstakingly set up for half the day exploded one after another under this mental suppression.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The shockwave from the explosions sent the four of them flying.

The concealment Formation was completely ruined.

Materials worth over thirty million faith points didn't even make a splash; they were all reduced to ash.

"Pfft!"

Chen Feng was in mid-air, spraying a mouthful of blood.

He couldn't care about the money; his eyes were filled with fear.

Once the concealment Formation was broken, the presence of the four living people was like four high-wattage searchlights in the dark night, exposed before the berserk Zerg sea of Plane 093.

After a brief moment of shock.

On the horizon, the black tide of Zerg, which had been raging impotently due to the Zerg Mother's madness, suddenly locked onto the presence of these four alien figures that had appeared abruptly.

"Screech—"

The hair-raising insect cries converged into a tsunami.

The overwhelming number of flying Zerg guards turned their direction, like a dark cloud, and dove down toward the Sophomore Team.

"Run!!!"

Chen Feng's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared at the top of his lungs: "Activate the star key! Force an exit!"

"Captain, the spatial interference is too strong! The exit procedure is stuck at ten percent; it will take at least thirty seconds!"

The Short-haired Senior Sister, while running wildly, looked at the terminal in despair.

Thirty seconds?

In front of the berserk Zerg sea, three seconds would be enough to chew them up until not even bone fragments remained!

"Damn it! Use the life-saving trump cards!"

Chen Feng, with bloodshot eyes, grabbed a handful of rune scrolls from his storage space.

Without even looking, he threw them toward the rear.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Frost, flames, and thunder exploded within the Zerg sea.

But this only barely delayed the Zerg swarm's charge for a few seconds.

Lanky was the slowest to run, and a large chunk of flesh from his thigh was torn off by the barb of a burrowing insect.

He screamed, and with a backhand, crushed a [Substitute Puppet].

His figure teleported a hundred meters away, leaving behind only a pile of wood shavings that were quickly devoured by the insects.

The four of them ran wildly on the wasteland like stray dogs, vomiting blood as they ran.

Their savings from an entire year of their sophomore year, all kinds of high-rank Formation Plates and life-saving props, were thrown out like garbage, just hoping to survive for one more second.

Chen Feng, while coughing blood, asked after the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of that "shadow-type camper" ten thousand times in his heart.

"You son of a bitch camper!"

"What the hell did you do in the main nest that caused such heavenly wrath and human resentment, that you could force the Zerg Mother to not even want its own life?!"

The thirty-second countdown for the exit felt as long as a century to them.

When the white light finally lit up, teleporting the four away, Chen Feng's combat blade was left with only the hilt, and the Short-haired Senior Sister had no props left.

The light dissipated, and Plane 093 was left with only the roar of the Zerg Mother.
