"What's going on?" Jian Jie and Wang Jian's expressions both changed.
Dust and Rock fragments fell continuously from the top of the circular passageway, as if an earthquake had occurred. However, the roars of insects that filled the air clearly indicated that it was not an earthquake, but rather a swarm of insects rushing and converging from the labyrinthine passageway.
Fortunately, Sun Fei was there.
A golden mist enveloped the three people. When stones and dust came within half a meter of their bodies, they were sent flying as if they had hit an invisible protective shield.
Although Jian Jie and Wang Jian's hearts were pounding, they were not particularly afraid.
Sun Fei's previous performance had completely won them over.
The next instant, the swarming insects rushed over like a tidal wave, engulfing the three of them. Then, with a burst of golden mist, they burst forth, vaporizing and disappearing into the air like small ice cubes falling into lava.
In the blink of an eye, thousands upon thousands of insects vanished completely from the tunnel.
It was as if they had never existed.
"It seems the owner of this place has already noticed us uninvited guests," Sun Fei laughed. "Stay close to me and don't fall behind. Some other kinds of insects might appear next!"
In the deep, labyrinthine underground caves, time passed extremely slowly.
I could clearly hear my own breathing, my heartbeat, and even the sound of blood flowing in my veins. The endless darkness felt like the tentacles of death, gripping my throat.
Sun Fei walked very slowly, stopping every now and then to observe the surroundings, seemingly lost in thought.
The deathly silence lasted for about twenty minutes, but to Jian Jie and Wang Jian, it felt like a whole day and night had passed. They stayed close to Sun Fei.
Whoosh!
A sudden gust of wind swept past me.
"What's going on? It looks like something just swooped past us!" The beautiful woman, Jian Jie, was startled. Her female instincts kicked in, and she couldn't help but take a step forward, grabbing Sun Fei's shoulder. Her full breasts clung tightly to Sun Fei's arm through his thin t-shirt, rubbing against him with each step, radiating heat.
Wang Jian also subconsciously followed suit.
Whoosh whoosh!
A black shadow, swift as lightning, swept past the three of them with a chilling gust of wind. Like a ghost, it was impossible for Wang Jian and Jian Jie to catch a glimpse of it, but their instincts told them that danger was suddenly approaching.
call out!
A crimson, cold star suddenly shot down from above the passageway, aiming straight for Wang Jian's forehead.
Sun Fei casually grabbed something in the air.
A strange insect, about the size of an eleven or twelve-year-old child and resembling a monkey, was pulled out of the void. It squeaked and squeaked. Its body was covered with bluish-gray bony scales. It had no eyes or other organs on its head. In its blood-red mouth, a tongue more than two meters long, like a blood arrow, was frozen in mid-air.
That crimson, cold light just now was the tongue of that monstrous insect.
"Hmm? A new kind of insect? It seems to have chameleon-like abilities, such as invisibility, gravity-defying climbing ability, agility, phantom-like speed, and, well, even higher intelligence and instincts." Sun Fei observed it carefully for a while with great interest.
He discovered that this was likely an evolved insect, possessing the strength of a four- or Star Class human warrior on the Azeroth Continent. Its tongue had an exceptionally powerful stabbing ability, capable of instantly piercing through steel plates over twenty centimeters thick, and it also possessed a superior gaze. However, its defensive capabilities were inferior to the lowest-level spider- Bone Spike insect.
"It seems my guess was right; advanced insects do indeed exist on Earth."
With a backhand flick, Sun Fei sent the monkey-like bony monster instantly disintegrating into smoke and disappearing. At the same time, a series of terrified screams rang out. From all sides of the passage, hundreds of identical monkey monsters suddenly appeared, struggling before turning into smoke and vanishing completely.
At the same time, Sun Fei keenly noticed that a very subtle fluctuation of spiritual energy flashed by from somewhere deep inside the cave.
"That's it, the location of the commander-level bugs."
Sun Fei deliberately released a considerable amount of power, forcing his way in that direction.
Sure enough, from the place where the spiritual energy fluctuations had been flickering earlier, a tense and anxious spiritual energy wave emanated again, and then frequently released different frequencies, spreading out to the eight directions of the entire cave maze.
"Yes, the insects don't have language. They communicate through a mental spectrum, but it's clearly an extremely advanced and complex spectrum, no simpler than any language... It will be very difficult to decipher!"
Sun Fei used the spiritual power manual from the [ Purple Skill Book ] to copy these segments of spiritual power spectrum.
He wanted to discover some common patterns in them. If he could master the language of the Insect Race, that would be ideal, as it would allow him to learn more about the [ Defiler Ones] and even control the lower-level Zerg through certain means.
At the same time, Sun Fei continuously exerted pressure on the entity deep within the cave that might be the Insect Race commander, trying to force this guy to gather all the high-level Insect Race that had not yet appeared, so that they could be wiped out in one fell swoop, and also learn as much as possible about the types and functions of the Zerg.
From the moment he discovered the [ Defiler ] on Earth, Sun Fei had already reconsidered them as the hypothetical enemy in the war to destroy the Azeroth Continent. The data he gathered on Earth might have a positive impact on the prophesied future world-ending war.
Sun Fei's plan succeeded.
Over the course of about an hour, he copied 108 segments of the insect commander's mental energy fluctuation spectrum and discovered 15 waves of insects with different appearances and strengths. In the last few waves, the strength of the insects that appeared almost reached the Mid-Tier Moon Class Warrior of the human warriors on the Azeroth Continent.
In a huge cave about 600 meters below the surface, Sun Fei finally saw the appearance of the insect commander.
Just like in imagination and science fiction movies, it was an enormous pink mountain of flesh, its surface covered with a viscous liquid, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
This creature clearly possessed human intelligence. The instant Sun Fei and his companions appeared, it immediately released a terrifying mental energy wave, like a tidal wave. At the same time, it continuously retreated and crawled backward, while low-level insects surged out of the surrounding caves, rushing towards Sun Fei and his group, desperately trying to buy it time to escape.
"This mountain of flesh possesses at least the strength of Moon Class Great Perfection cultivator, and its mastery of spiritual power has even reached the Great Sun-Class Venerable Stage realm. I'm afraid no one on this Earth can restrain it!"
