The Secret That Cannot Be Told
It has to be said that Cheng Queyi's [All-Metal Storm] was incredibly lethal to these insects.
She had already built that wall so deep it extended to the size of a second hall.
If it weren't for the distance, the light trail emitted by the Steel Firmament would have taken a little longer on its way, giving the insects a chance to squeeze back in, and the insects continuously falling from above to fill the gaps after the wall caved in.
I estimate she could build a complete detached villa.
Even so, during Wang Wen's peek, the bug that had shrunk when the prize pool reached 100,000 Point had grown back to half a person's height.
Its wide-open mouth was more than enough to swallow Wang Wen's entire head.
Wang Wen did not back down upon discovering this situation.
Instead, it stuck its head directly into the insect's mouthparts.
The insects weren't going to be polite to him.
It immediately bit down hard.
"Crackling".
The mouthparts were shattered into pieces.
It was as if there was a transparent protective shield around Wang Wen's body, clinging tightly to his skin yet as hard as steel.
After Five-Fold Enlightenment, his mastery of energy became unparalleled and unparalleled.
The shaping of material structure and the arrangement of microscopic particles can be manipulated at will.
When creating and shaping things, energy is as obedient and compliant as clay of the right consistency.
Once the object is shaped, it immediately becomes as indestructible as steel.
He made the transparent barrier created by energy into clothing that he could wear, allowing each joint to move freely without affecting flexibility, while the surface could provide close-fitting protection anytime, anywhere.
Putting aside other things...
These days, Wang Wen's clothes are really not easy to tear.
The insect, half a person's height, bit itself to pieces, teeth and mouth intact, so ruthless that even Wang Wen, who was in its mouth, was somewhat surprised.
It recovered quickly.
Because Cheng Queyi's [All-Metal Storm] was still dealing damage at a rate of hundreds per second.
The team prize pool quickly reached 200,000.
All the insect corpses disappeared.
Its size has also returned to normal.
The insect that had been holding Wang Wen's head shrank back to the size of a palm, smacking its mouthparts and threatening her from a short distance in front of her forehead.
Wang Wen had just peeked out but before she could get a good look, it was gone.
He felt somewhat helpless.
He turned to Cheng Queyi, wanting to tell her to take it easy.
The insect has almost grown to be half a person's height again.
Wang Wen quickly said to Cheng Queyi, "Xiao Yi, stop for a second!"
As they were talking.
The team prize pool has reached 280,000.
This means that more than 2,800 insects have died.
Cheng Queyi's [All-Metal Storm] had only been firing for less than ten seconds!
Based on her current un-upgraded duration, she can kill 800,000 to 900,000 bugs in an hour at full power!
That's equivalent to Point nearly 100 million points in a single hour!
This is just an un-upgraded extraordinary skill.
If the level is high enough, you can maintain continuous output.
This little girl's earnings in this Insect Chamber on her own are almost equal to those of Four Squares Formation that requires multiple people to cooperate!
The firepower is too intense...
Wang Wen's words had barely faded away.
Cheng Queyi and obediently stopped the [All-Metal Storm] attack.
She turned her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
The skinny little boy in the center of the hall finally woke up, wiped his drool, and looked away from the Steel Firmament above his head, turning to look at Wang Wen who had spoken.
Noticing everyone's gaze, Wang Wen nodded and said, "I've found something."
He used an invisible giant hand to lift the worm, which was almost as tall as a person, to a high place to show it to the four people, pointing to its mouth and saying, "You should be able to see now that there is light deep inside the worm's throat."
Upon hearing this...
Mo Ran, sitting opposite, reached out and grabbed an insect, pried open its mandibles, and ripped it apart.
Sticky liquid splashed.
The worm's body, torn in half, contained only a sticky liquid and nothing else.
Seeing the suspicious look Mo Ran gave her, Wang Wen said helplessly, "Be a little gentler, don't kill her."
Mo Ran paused slightly.
Her face felt subtly warm.
He turned around, picked up another insect, pried open its mouthparts, and peered inside.
A short while later, he turned back to the crowd with his forehead covered in slime and said, "There is indeed light, but the opening is too small to see clearly."
Wang Wen patted the aircraft in mid-air. "It recovers every 100,000, which means it recovers its size every 1,000 killed. It should be around 800 now. Let's kill a few more to get it to 900 or even 1,000 and then see."
Cheng Queyi waved enthusiastically, ready to fire.
Wang Wen stopped him.
"Xiao Yi, your firepower was too intense. Take a break. Leave the small change to us."
Cheng Queyi smiled and obediently nodded, standing to the side.
So Mo Ran, Zhu Xingguo, and Wang Wen kept an eye on the prize pool and started betting little by little.
After the number reached 295,000, even Zhu Xingguo was excluded from firing.
When the number reached 299,000, Mo Ran also stopped and retreated.
Wang Wen was left to use her energy to crush them one by one.
300,000.
The insect has grown to its maximum size.
Everyone retreated to the center of the hall to avoid being "bumped" by the insects.
After all, at this critical juncture, losing even one more person means starting all over again.
Wang Wen carefully controlled her energy, grabbed an insect, and brought it in front of everyone.
Its massive body, over two meters tall, looks quite intimidating.
Unfortunately, this makes them far less intimidating to the current team.
Apart from the skinny little boy, even the weakest newcomer Cheng Queyi, could completely overwhelm them.
Of course, this is all predicated on having [All-Metal Storm] by your side.
Several invisible giant hands in mid-air began to operate.
The insect's mouthparts were slowly pried open.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Looking inside that "giant mouth" that was at least three meters wide, deep in the throat.
A brightly lit portal flickered with a faint light.
Portal!
Aside from the Four Squares Formation -like levels, the vast majority of the other portals in the World Tower are simply for entering the next level!
The entrance to the lower level was actually inside the insect's body!!
Everyone stared in disbelief.
Cheng Queyi covered her mouth, her face showing an expression of utter astonishment.
It wasn't just her.
Even Mo Ran and Zhu Xingguo were seeing this unusual scene for the first time.
On the contrary, the skinny little boy who knew nothing remained completely ignorant.
I found it quite amusing to see the group of people standing there, each stunned and speechless.
He was a formally trained student at the Academy, and the only thing he could be considered good at was Scientific Deciphering.
Wang Wen had already read the textbooks in the Academy, but much of the information was not up-to-date.
It's at most slightly more comprehensive than the general information available to those Tower Climber.
The knowledge learned from this kind of textbook can only be described as mediocre.
It's impossible for anyone to encounter such unique content as Wang Wen.
This kind of intelligence could be sold for money anywhere!
Of course, the five people standing here now don't seem to be short of money.
Unless the price is over 100 million.
I doubt anyone would be so bored as to pay such a high price to buy it.
In the outside world, those who are wealthy now are all Wang Wen's own people.
Money is no longer the primary concern in many matters.
Wang Wen was carrying the large insect.
Looking at the frozen expressions on everyone's faces.
I thought about it.
There's always a vague, strange feeling in my mind.
He had a special feeling about this level.
It was as if a voice was constantly whispering some unspeakable secret to him.
He must find the answer himself.
Wang Wen looked at the tiger.
He squinted.
With a gentle squeeze of his palm, he crushed the insect.
The entire stadium erupted in cheers.
The prize pool has Point 100 points.
All the insect corpses disappeared.
All the insects returned to their normal size.
Seeing the surprised looks on their faces, Wang Wen laughed and said, "Who cares about the three notoginseng, poria cocos, or phoenix skin? Let's make money first!"
The bubbles rose, encompassing five people.
[Unity with Heaven and Man] is activated, and vows drift out like the whispers of gods.
