Chapter 20
The Insect King Appears, Evacuate Zhangjia Fort

Hearing the young man's words, Zhang Bei felt like he was hearing the voice of God.

After all, his precious blood was blood, and if he lost too much blood, he would die.

Soon, the young man joined them.

“Let's go!” the young man said.

Even without the young man's instruction, Zhang Bei was the first one to run.

Seeing that the young man was done, Zhang Bei immediately ran towards the outside.

The others hurriedly followed them.

They had no way to resist these insects, so they could only run.

As they ran out, they discovered that they were completely surrounded by insects, densely packed everywhere.

Everyone was terrified. Were they going to die here?

“Let's go!”

The young man also drew his dagger, cut his finger, and sprinkled his blood into the sky.

With the young man and Zhang Bei leading the way, they finally opened a path.

They didn't dare to stop for a moment and rushed towards the exit.

They arrived at the exit again, where boxes were piled up.

“The ancestors of these families blocked the entrance to keep the insects trapped here,”

Zhang Hai Ke said with a grave expression.

At this time, they all had more or less wounds on their bodies.

They were bitten by these unknown insects, with wounds on their faces, arms, and necks.

The young man sprinkled the Kirin blood at the entrance and said, “Block the entrance.”

Of course, they dared not disobey and picked up the boxes to block the entrance.

The young man and Zhang Bei each sprinkled some more blood at the entrance.

This prevented the insects from rushing out all at once, buying them some time.

“Go! These insects are too ferocious. We don't have much time,” the young man said.

When they reached the entrance, they quickly climbed up the rope.

This was the only exit. Luckily, the young man and Zhang Bei's precious blood blocked the path.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to return. This was an escape, so everyone was very fast, ignoring their injuries.

Soon, they ran out of the broken ship.

“Buzz buzz!”

However, as soon as they came out, they heard a violent sound of wings flapping.

A huge, wasp-like insect was circling in the air, seemingly waiting for its prey.

“Damn it! What kind of insect is this? It’s so big!” Zhang Bei couldn't help but curse.

The insect was huge, with a body like a wooden barrel, and its wings were larger than a dining table when spread out.

“This should be the Insect King! You guys go!” the young man said with a serious expression.

Zhang Bei pushed the young man and said, “You take them away.”

The young man frowned, but seeing Zhang Bei's firm gaze, he nodded.

“Be careful! My gun is yours.” Zhang Hai Xing handed the pistol to Zhang Bei.

Zhang Bei nodded, looked at the large insect circling above, and without hesitation, raised his gun to shoot.

“Bang!”

He fired several shots in a row, but to Zhang Bei's dismay, the bullets seemed to have no effect on the insect, as if they were hitting a steel plate.

“Damn it! So hard?” Zhang Bei was dumbfounded.

Although the bullets couldn't penetrate it, the huge impact force forced the Insect King back.

It bought some time for the young man and the others.

Zhang Bei finished his entire magazine, realizing he couldn’t do anything about the insect.

He quickly turned and ran. His only task was to buy time for them.

He wasn’t going to fight the Insect King to the death here.

But the Insect King seemed to be angry. It flapped its wings and swooped down towards Zhang Bei.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Zhang Bei immediately threw several daggers.

“Clang clang!”

After the sound of a sharp impact, it still couldn't harm the Insect King.

This made Zhang Bei dumbfounded. What kind of insect was this?

Its whole body was as hard as iron? It was like a machine.

Thinking about this, Zhang Bei didn't dodge. He held a knife and watched the large insect swoop down.

The moment the large insect swooped down, Zhang Bei immediately dodged.

Then, Zhang Bei leaped up and landed on the Insect King's back.

“Clang!”

He raised his long knife and slashed at the large insect's back.

But it only made a sharp sound.

At this time, Zhang Bei realized that the large insect's whole body seemed to be covered with a thick layer of armor.

Even more bizarre was that this insect wasn’t alive. It felt like a dry corpse to Zhang Bei.

This left Zhang Bei stunned. If it was dead, why could it still move?

“I only know that dead people can turn into zombies. Could this insect have turned into a zombie?”

Zhang Bei was completely confused, not knowing what was going on.

“Swish!”

Of course, this was just a thought. Since he couldn't cut through it, Zhang Bei immediately slashed the insect's wings with his knife.

Although the insect's body was hard, its wings were fragile.

One wing was cut off with a single strike, and then the other wing was cut off as well.

This made the insect unable to fly.

“Bang!”

Then, Zhang Bei kicked the large insect's head.

This made the large insect roll over immediately.

Seeing the large insect struggling constantly, Zhang Bei immediately ran.

This thing was too hard, and he didn't have a suitable weapon. He didn't know how to kill it.

But the next second, Zhang Bei was dumbfounded.

After turning its body, the large insect, unable to fly, actually knocked over all the jars on the ground.

A terrifying sight appeared: a large number of insects flew out from under the jars.

These insects flew up and then pulled up other jars.

It was as if someone was controlling them. Looking at this scene, Zhang Bei felt his scalp tingle.

“Boom boom!”

Moreover, as many jars were pulled up, the entire ground began to collapse rapidly, revealing large pits.

And more insects flew out from the pits.

“Truly a dead end!” Zhang Bei felt his scalp tingle.

Without hesitation, he ran out.

“What’s going on? How can there be so many insects?”

When Zhang Bei caught up with everyone else, they were also dumbfounded.

“The jars on the ground are used to suppress these insects.

The Insect King knocked all the jars over. Run!”

Zhang Bei said helplessly.

Although his strength had increased dramatically, it seemed he couldn’t do anything about these insects.

Fortunately, they were fast enough and had already reached the place where they came down.

“Get up quickly!” the young man said.

They didn’t think twice and hurriedly jumped onto the chain.

They used the chain as a foothold and continued to jump upwards.

Luckily, there were many chains here, and the distance wasn't too high. They were all skilled.

They all climbed up to the place where they had jumped down from.

At this time, they turned around and saw that the entire valley was pitch black, with countless insects swarming inside.

The insects were dense and countless. If they were any slower, they would have been drowned.

“What should we do? There are so many insects. We can't escape!” Zhang Hai Ke said anxiously.

Even the young man was a little clueless.

“Look! The Insect King is being dragged up by a large number of insects,” Zhang Hai Xing shouted.

They looked down and sure enough, although the large insect's wings were cut off, it had too many minions and was being dragged up to chase them.

They had never seen such ferocious insects.

“Young man! You take them away!” Zhang Bei said.

The young man shook his head and said, “We can’t escape. Once we go on this small path, there won’t even be a chance to resist.”

Following the young man's finger, they realized that the path was indeed very small.

One person could only barely squeeze past, clinging to the wall.

Once they went up, they would be attacked by a large number of insects.

“Don't you have explosives?” Zhang Bei suddenly asked Zhang Hai Xing and the others.

Zhang Hai Ke quickly took out a bundle of explosives from his backpack.

“The last one,” Zhang Hai Ke said.

Zhang Bei gritted his teeth and said, “Young man, you hold them off for a while!”

Then, Zhang Bei looked at the large insect and cut his palm again, his blood flowing continuously.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, he jumped down again.

But this time, Zhang Bei jumped onto the large insect's back.

Looking at the large insect’s armor-like back, Zhang Bei found the joint.

He inserted his dagger directly into the joint, secured the explosive bag, and immediately ignited it.

Then, Zhang Bei quickly jumped up. Luckily, he had cut his palm beforehand.

The Kirin blood still had its insect-repelling effect. At least, he wasn’t attacked too much.

“Rope!”

Zhang Bei shouted.

The young man immediately threw a rope. Zhang Bei grabbed it, and the young man pulled with force.

Following the young man's force, Zhang Bei quickly climbed up.

“Boom!”

A loud roar came, and Zhang Bei had just reached the entrance when he was pushed back by the terrifying blast.

Luckily, the young man quickly caught Zhang Bei, but they both fell to the ground.

With the explosion, the oil on the chains outside was ignited.

The flames shot into the sky, spreading throughout the valley.

“Kill the enemy, obtain green attribute: Copper Skin and Iron Bones!”
