Annihilation

After what happened in Tourland, the group no longer had the idea of targeting the giant moth alone.

As time passed and the holy warrior who had gone to search had not yet returned, Turyongdor made several attempts to contact him.

The communicator beeped without any response, leading everyone to conclude that the other party was most likely dead.

When will the people from Tournalan arrive?

The satellite city closest to the Gobala Cave Corridor belongs to the Lineage of the Third Elder, Tuerchalanqing. Upon hearing Zhang Xuezhou's inquiry, Tuerkalando had no choice but to make several calls.

Just like the communications of the paladins who went to investigate, Tulcarandor's communications all went unanswered.

"The signal is probably bad where we are," Turcalando said, pursing her lips. "Turnaran should be able to answer my call!"

"Cha Lanqing also couldn't get through to Nalan's communications," Tueryongduolu said.

"The Third Elder couldn't get through either, so it seems this isn't a signal problem..."

Turkalando held up the communicator, and just as she gave Zhang Xuezhou an awkward smile, the communicator, which had been unanswered for a long time, was finally connected.

"Chief Nalan, where are you?" Turkalando asked anxiously.

There was no sound from the communicator for a long time. Only after Turkalando repeatedly asked did the same voice respond from the other end of the communicator.

Chief Nalan, where are you?

The voice was identical to the one that had asked Turkalando's question; it was also transmitted back through the communicator.

This made Zhang Xuezhou and the others, who were listening to the sound from the communicator's speaker, feel a chill run down their spines.

"Chief Nalan? Are you still Chief Nalan?" Turkalando asked, his voice trembling slightly.

"Chief Nalan? Are you still Chief Nalan?"

A few seconds later, the same voice came through the communicator.

This made Turkalando's heart sink completely.

"Perhaps this Turnalan just accidentally dropped his communicator while fleeing," Ren Anran comforted him.

"Oh my god, have all these wounded soldiers gone mad?"

Just as Ren Anran finished speaking comforting words, the voice in the communicator didn't repeat itself; instead, another voice came through, causing everyone's expression to change drastically.

"There's more than one person like Turlantu," Zhang Xuezhou frowned. "You'd better issue clear directives to isolate this area and prevent those insectoids from getting close!"

"A small moth can lay 1.8 million eggs. Is this reference data useful?" Zhang Manqian whispered.

"It can be of some reference value!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

He could only be thankful that no insect eggs had hatched inside anyone's bodies.

Thinking of the cocoons filled with worms in the Gobala Cave corridor, Zhang Xuezhou felt that things were going to be very bad.

These creatures have long lived in caves, relying on the nourishment of their blessed land to lead a life akin to Grain Avoidance. However, contact with humans has led them to seek out another food source, and they have even begun to use humans to lay eggs and raise their young.

The other party's breeding speed is too fast, and the number of eggs produced will exceed normal people's imagination.

While there are various ways to avoid giant moths, this only applies to well-prepared, elite groups.

For normal people, whether it's the giant moth's poisonous powder, its screams, the hurricanes it creates, or its venom and egg-controlling behavior, these are all unavoidable disasters.

Currently, the insects bred by the other side even have the ability to control the human body.

Not only did Zhang Xuezhou and his group suffer a bizarre attack from Thurlandu, but Thurnalan and his group, who rushed to the scene, also met with misfortune.

At this moment, Zhang Xuezhou only wished that Turkalando's orders would be implemented smoothly, or that elite groups would be dispatched to provide fire support to suspicious targets, or that people in nearby satellite cities would be relocated.

Whether it's the former or the latter, these two actions are not contradictory. Even if they result in an excessive number of troops and firepower, or if the relocated population creates a huge burden and it turns out that the relocation was not necessary, it is still far better than the potential disaster.

Zhang Xuezhou and others do not want to see a disaster, but they certainly will not gamble on a lucky break.

"I see!"

Turkalando nodded emphatically.

After just two short days, Turkalando was practically a different person.

Disaster and responsibility can make people grow quickly, and Turkalando was clearly no exception.

At this moment, she was less lively and more somber.

Sitting on the mountain bike that was evacuating the area, Turkalando repeatedly communicated with the elders and Lineage heads, tried to influence the parliamentary process of the Thousand Islands Alliance, and was often met with arguments and debates.

"Do you think our Scarlet Alliance State might also have lurking beasts that we just haven't discovered?"

On the mountain bike, Zhang Manqian asked Zhang Xuezhou in a low voice.

The peace and tranquility we enjoy is simply because there is no war or conflict; the effectiveness of money is only because the monetary system has not collapsed.

Having witnessed the giant moth, a supernatural creature, Zhang Manqian no longer sees these creatures as purely ferocious beasts.

Some creatures become monstrous when they grow several times their original size, not to mention the incredible abilities these creatures possess.

These abilities are still biological habits, but they are magnified thousands or tens of thousands of times.

Zhang Manqian could hardly imagine what would happen if a similar creature appeared in the Scarlet Alliance State and was not brought under control in time.

A single giant moth may not be frightening, but ten or even a hundred of them breeding together can cause unparalleled destruction.

This even surpasses Qin Meng's ferocious beasts. No matter how strong those beasts are, they are still just individuals and do not reproduce as rapidly as the giant moth.

No one knew where these creatures were lurking or how many there were, which made Zhang Manqian quite worried.

"If these creatures require spirit jade, soul jade, or blessed lands, there aren't many suitable areas for them," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Our Alliance States might have such creatures, but their numbers should be very small, and the types might also differ!"

"Was the Qinmeng Empire's demise also due to factors related to the breeding of such ferocious beasts?" Zhang Manqian asked in a low voice.

"Back then, communication was poor, and our understanding of that area was far from sufficient," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said. "Some people speculated that it was an explosive epidemic of a virus, others speculated that the disaster was caused by the disruption of the food chain, and still others speculated that it was a beast tide that swept across the entire Qin-Meng region. The only thing we can be sure of right now is that the Qinmeng Empire did indeed suffer a catastrophe that wiped out the country."

Zhang Manqian proposed a new possibility, a conjecture that even Zhang Xuezhou somewhat agreed with.

Before witnessing the giant moth, Zhang Xuezhou thought that ferocious beasts were just tough, strong, and super-creatures like silly birds and hyenas.

However, the appearance of the giant moth completely overturned Zhang Xuezhou's understanding, and according to the information Wang Haoran knew, some elite-level ferocious beasts also had similar Technique Method abilities.

There are probably more strange creatures in the world than Zhang Xuezhou imagined.

He had previously focused all his energy on fighting against the extraterrestrial demons, but Zhang Xuezhou realized that even if he were to gain freedom one day, it would not be the end.

Zhang Xuezhou can no longer clearly see what the future holds.
