Chapter Fourteen: Scarlet Flame Scorpion

  Just as he was resting, the camp suddenly erupted in victorious cheers.

  "The worms retreated, the worms retreated."

  The warriors and soldiers hugged each other, shouting loudly.

  Outside the fence, the small tortoises dropped their bodies all over the ground and retreated like the tide.

  The insects that originally emerged from underground also burrowed back into the ground at this time, leaving behind piles of corpses of their own kind.

  "Withdrew just like that? Zhang Feng looked at the retreating insect swarm with some confusion, finding it unbelievable."

  This is too easy even if it's an insect tide.

  "It's daytime, the bugs are back in their nests resting." Chen Yu also sat down, using a handkerchief to wipe off the dark green blood on his body: "The bug tide isn't that easy to repel. The next wave of bug tide will be launched at night, let's take this opportunity to rest."

  Zhang Feng stopped talking.

  First put on the wrist guard of Bugma armor, which looks like a part of the armor.

  Unfortunately, there is only this pair of arm guards, Zhang Feng dare not confirm whether it is a set or not, after all, there is no hint that it belongs to a set.

  The camp's gates were opened and soldiers began clearing out the insect corpses outside the fence.

  Then truckloads of insect carcasses were brought in and used to refill the holes that had been dug out by the insects within the camp.

  Zhang Feng looked at the forest and said: "Chen Yu, you said that during the day, the insects return to their nests to rest? That means they won't attack again during the day?"

  "Yes. During the day, they like to stay in dark places." Chen Yu nodded.

  "I see."

  During the day, relying on his breath disguise, he should be able to sneak into the forest and take a look.

  After finishing his meal at the camp, Zhang Feng walked out of the camp alone.

  Just a dozen hours ago, this was still one corner of the city, now it has become a primitive forest.

  As I walked into the forest, the light suddenly dimmed.

  Under every large tree live countless small shell insects.

  Giant earthworms and beetles crawled out from underground, crawling all over the place, densely packed to the point where it was hard to find a spot to put one's foot, making people's scalps feel numb.

  Zhang Feng relied on his breath disguise, slowly infiltrating deeper and deeper.

  All the insects saw Zhang Feng and thought he was an insect too, so they didn't pay attention to him wandering around in the forest.

  "This is Yanping Supermarket." Zhang Feng saw a familiar place closest to school under the branches of an ancient tree.

  He looked up at the sky, slightly identified the direction, and walked along a familiar road towards the school.

  All the way to school, Zhang Feng used his insect magic gun to continuously kill insects and quickly collected two hundred souls.

  As he approached the school gate, he saw two rare beetles resting in the shade of a tree.

  Zhang Feng was overjoyed in his heart and quietly grasped the Insect Demon Gun in his hand.

  "Charge!" With a low growl, his body uncontrollably grasped the long spear and suddenly charged forward.

  In front of Zhang Feng, a brilliant blue light enveloped him and his long spear together, forming a gigantic long spear.

  All the insects along the way didn't even have time to make a mournful cry before they were torn apart by the light in an instant, and the tree branches and rocks that blocked the front seemed to be cut off and splashed everywhere. The ground was plowed into deep trenches nearly two feet deep.

  Two rare beetles were crushed to death while still in their sleep.

  "What tremendous power!"

  Zhang Feng turned his head and looked at the ground he had just sprinted across, taking a cold breath.

  Below third-rate, it's really a god killing a god, a Buddha killing a Buddha, too terrifying.

  It was this blow that earned him one hundred souls.

  The only pity is that these two beetles didn't explode anything.

  More than a hundred insects burst out of the thing, but unfortunately Zhang Feng didn't take a liking to any of them. He simply picked up some components of the suit and threw them into his ring.

  The high walls of the school are faintly visible, covered with green vines and branches, looking like a buried ruin.

  Just as Zhang Feng was about to enter the school, he suddenly saw a team of nearly ten rare shell insects moving their clumsy bodies in two rows patrolling from the entrance.

  Ten!

  Zhang Feng saw that they were all in pain and remembered that if he was with them, he would have been blown to smithereens by their fireballs.

  He didn't dare to provoke him, and after seeing the beetle walk away, he quietly slipped into the school.

  Suddenly he had a premonition that something was going on in school.

  Crossing the square and dodging two teams of rare shell insects, Zhang Feng became even more certain that there was something in this school.

  As he gradually approached the school's teaching building, he saw from afar that the teaching building was torn apart in the middle, and a giant tree stretched out its branches from the middle of the teaching building.

  At the base of the giant tree, a hollow like an open beast's mouth yawned.

  The entrance is extremely large, and even a large truck can enter without any problem.

  Two rare beetles crawled at the entrance of the cave motionless.

  Sneak past quietly?

  That's impossible.

  The only gamble is that these two insects have a 50% chance of seeing through his disguise.

  Zhang Feng held a piercing bone knife in one hand and an insect magic gun in the other, his whole body on high alert as he tensely walked through the middle of two armored beetles.

  This time he was right, the two insects were quiet and did not discover him.

  When Zhang Feng entered the tree hole, he found that it was even bigger than he had imagined. The tree hole extended downwards, and a scorching hot breath kept spewing out from below.

  Something on the tree wall shone with a little light, making the outline of the tree hole clear.

  The tree hollow splits downward into three forks.

  Zhang Feng hesitated for a moment, chose the left fork, and then proceeded forward while carefully marking the tree branches to avoid getting lost.

  The further down you go, the hotter it gets, like a summer in the south, with heat waves rushing over you as if your lungs are about to burn.

  Along the way, Zhang Feng encountered some elite monsters, but he didn't care and just kept walking forward.

  The farther ahead you go, the brighter it gets, and surprisingly, there is a huge stone cave with an area as large as a football field.

  In the center of the grotto, there are over a hundred rare beetles, each one spitting fireballs at a bright red egg in the center of the grotto.

  Unlike fireballs during an attack, these fireballs are not aggressive.

  After spraying, it will turn into a flame and surround the egg.

  The egg instantly absorbed all these flames clean.

  The beetles will immediately accumulate strength and spray flames again.

  After such a long time of survival, experience told Zhang Feng that this egg was not simple.

  It might be an unhatched BOSS-level insect.

  Don't let it hatch.

  Zhang Feng gritted his teeth in secret and quietly entered the stone cave.

  The insects were concentrating on hatching their eggs and didn't notice Zhang Feng at all.

  Zhang Feng quietly crawled on the ground and then approached the egg from the abdomen of the insect.

  He didn't dare go too fast, fearing that making a sound would attract the attention of the insects.

  One meter, two meters, getting closer...

  "Hiss!"

  Finally, Zhang Feng was discovered by the insects.

  Dozens of insects let out a shrill cry, and the nearest few beetles lifted their legs and stepped down towards Zhang Feng.

  Zhang Feng pressed his hands on the ground and suddenly jumped up.

  He accelerated rapidly, reaching a speed of 302% in an instant, and rushed to the front of the egg. Then he grabbed the egg with one hand and threw it directly into the ring.

  Just as he had just picked up the egg, the entire tree hole suddenly shook violently, a deafening roar came from underground, and Zhang Feng's feet shook. The mud on the ground was lifted, and two thick scorpion tails with a length of one meter swung in the air, the inverted hooks flashing flames.

  The ground began to rise, and one by one, the beetles wailed as they tried to flee in all directions, but ultimately fell back down.

  Zhang Feng tightly hugged a black stone pillar in the shape of an inverted hook and barely avoided falling down.

  It was then that he saw himself standing on the back of a gigantic centipede.

  This scorpion is as big as a truck, with its back covered in reverse spikes and a pair of pincers the size of two door panels.

  What he was holding onto wasn't a stone pillar, but rather the inverted spines on the back of a scorpion.

  Zhang Feng almost vomited blood after losing a reconnaissance mission.

  Eight-level crimson flame scorpion.

  And it's rare!

  My god, it can't be this bad, if this thing gets out, I'm afraid just one of them will be enough to trample the entire camp.

  The flame scorpion let out an angry shriek, causing the stone cave to rumble and reverberate, ceaselessly searching for something within the cave.

  Zhang Feng tightly hugged the hook, no matter how the scorpion shook its body, he wouldn't let go.

  The Flame Scorpion's feet shouted for two hours, seeing that they hadn't found their target, angrily turning around in the stone cave, its two scorpion tails continuously spraying fire pillars to strike the rare shell insects.

  These rare beetles didn't dare to resist and lay there, trembling all over their bodies.

  A column of fire struck the insect's body, instantly burning the beetle into ashes. The terrifying flames made Zhang Feng, who was riding on the scorpion's back, break out in a cold sweat.

  He has stirred up a hornet's nest.

  One hundred insects were gone in less than ten minutes.

  The flame scorpion didn't stop there, rushing out of the tree hole like a mindless wild beast, destroying trees and forests along the way. All the insects in front of this flame scorpion didn't dare to resist at all, and could only be killed one by one in the end.

  Zhang Feng took advantage of the Flame Scorpion's movement to jump down, quickly lying in a tree hole and waiting for the Flame Scorpion to leave.

  The flame scorpion roars incessantly, destroying trees and killing all the insects it encounters, like a butcher leaving countless corpses in its wake.

  Zhang Feng didn't dare move, holding his breath and hiding in the tree hole without making a sound.

  Time passed minute by minute and second by second, Huo Yan Chui reluctantly returned to the tree hole.

  Zhang Feng finally let out a breath of relief and quickly escaped from the school.

  All the way, he didn't meet a single insect again.

  The furious flame scorpion made all the insects afraid.

  Zhang Feng was far away from school and finally dared to take a deep breath and sit down to rest for a while.

  "Must be the son of that scorpion, otherwise why would he be so crazy?"

  Zhang Feng took out an egg and threw it for reconnaissance.

  As expected, it's a Flame Scorpion Egg.

  Rank: Zero.

  Hatching progress: ninety-five percent.

  Incubation method: Absorbing flames.

  When a Flame Scorpion is born, dripping fresh blood on its head will make it recognize its master.

  "Awesome, it's a pet egg!"

  Zhang Feng held the egg in a daze. Thinking about the terror of that crazy level 8 rare monster, this flame scorpion would be terrifying when it grew up!
