A strange mist poured out of nowhere, enveloping the snowy field where they were.

A thick fog obscured everything in the darkness, and the sound of metal grinding was even more intense, and much closer to the camp they were.

Qiang Qiang ......

With the sound of metal grinding and crashing, countless demon insects surged in the direction of the camp in the mist.

Qiao Shan's heart was also very nervous.

As an extraordinary being, he had seen these powerful insects, and no one knew what was happening, and this kind of magic insect seemed to be much more powerful than in the early days of the cataclysm in the historical records, and he didn't know where such a large number of demon insects came from. These demon insects, although they don't have much intelligence, but the carapace and arthropods are actually all kinds of high-strength alloys, the defense is very strong, and the size is the size of a hunting dog, the largest is like a horse and a cow, the body is huge, and the combat power is very strong.

The most troublesome thing is the type and number of these magic insects.

As the fog approached, the air around it made people feel even colder, and even the cultivators of the Innate Realm felt a little unbearable on the exposed skin.

As the cold fog drew closer, the flames of the dozens of campfires in the camp were suppressed, swaying, and becoming very faint, as if they could be extinguished at any moment.

The creaking and rattling of metal slammed and scraped closer, and the insects in the mist seemed to be ready to attack.

"Stand a shield! Bow ready! ”

Qiao Shan held the knife in his hand at this time and gave the order to prepare for battle.

At this time, a sharp sound suddenly sounded in the night sky.

Boom!

A locust the size of a calf slammed down on the snow, sending up a cloud of snow mist.

Woohoo!

A dense burst of arrows burst through the air, followed by the sound of metal shattering and the shrill cries of insects.

Under the searchlight, the fog around it stopped, and it seemed to be a little scattered.

Buzz Buzz!

There were also a number of flying beetles in the night sky, and the arrows collided with the metal carapaces of these insects, bursting into clusters of sparks.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

Some of the guards in the camp cheered in surprise.

"Defend the camp with all your might!" Qiao Shan shouted loudly, but his heart was a lot more relaxed.

Bang!

I saw a huge black-armored golden-winged flying insect with a huge body, five or six meters long, with its head exploding open, bursting out of a ball of fire, and its body was crooked, like a kite with a broken string, falling from the mist.

Rumble!

The black flying insect fell to the ground with a heavy blow, and its two huge sickle claws glowing with cold light were still struggling, cutting cracks in the hard ground.

The fog was so thick that the searchlights couldn't illuminate too far, and people looked around and couldn't see anything, only the constant sound of metal breaking in the surrounding fog.

It was the sound of weapons and piercing and shattering metal carapaces, and beyond that, the incessant shrill screams of the swarms of insects.

The battle lasted only about ten minutes, and the fog, which was less than a kilometer away from the camp, gradually receded, and the night sky slowly became bright again.

The sound of the battle also followed the fog and gradually faded away.

Utai couldn't help it, came to Qiao Shan and said, "I'm going to go out and have a look." ”

Qiao Shan pointed to the huge black-armored flying demon insect that was still twitching and said, "The strength of that alien insect is comparable to that of an eighth-order alien beast, do you think you can withstand its claws?" ”

"So strong?!" Utai said in surprise, then said no more.

The fog gradually dissipated, the heavens and the earth became brighter, and the sparse starlight in the sky was revealed. The defenders of the camp waited silently, but no one touched the corpses of the insects left in the snow.

That's someone's trophy, and everyone won't resent those super strong because of it.

However, the expressions on everyone's faces became relaxed, and some showed a smile for the rest of their lives.

As the long night passed, there was a slight light in the sky.

But the strong men who came to their rescue did not return, as if they had never appeared.

The sky became brighter, the eastern sky showed a faint glow, the cold fog finally completely dispersed, and people's eyes looked outside the camp, only to see a dozen alien insects with metallic bodies scattered among the snow, already dead.

Among them, the two alien beasts that fell outside the fog were obviously larger and higher-level, and they were killed by arrows, while most of the other alien insects left in the snow were only half of their bodies, obviously killed by the masters with weapons, probably because their level was relatively low, and they were too lazy to clean up. The deaths of some of the insects were even more miserable, their entire bodies shattered, and the pale blue blood corroded many black holes in the snow.

Apparently the blood of this insect is very toxic.

Shockingly, farther away, there were more mutilated insect corpses, one or two of which could be seen from a distance of more than a dozen meters, and continued for several kilometers.

You can still see this even from afar.

How many insects did those strong men kill in that night?

Nobody knows.

Obviously, those powerhouses have been chasing down those attacking insects all the way with the dissipating fog!

Looking at the insect corpses left on the snow field, Qiao Shan was shocked.

The Living Buddha of Bardan and the City Lord of Berzin left the tent at some point and came behind Qiao Shan.

Most of the insects that were killed were obviously put away by the strong men, and the white snow was dyed blue, full of devastation, and it was terrifying to look at.

"Command someone to put these things away." Belzin said to Qiao Shan.

"This ...... Not quite right? Qiao Shan's face was embarrassed, these beetles have many rare alloy materials on their bodies, and the flesh and blood in their bodies are rich in source power, how big they are, and there are various source crystals, all of which are rare resources used in cultivation.

"They're strong, and what remains of this is something that no one else looks up to." Baldan Living Buddha said, "Especially those two alien insects should be put away, this kind of strength is equivalent to an eighth-order powerful alien worm is a rare research specimen, and the value is not low." ”

Seeing the Living Buddha say this, Qiao Shan ordered people to start picking up some of the prey abandoned by Ling Li and others.

……

Under a birch tree with more than a dozen people hugging each other, a scorpion-shaped alien insect was lurking at the base of the giant tree, and its body seemed to be integrated with the giant tree, well camouflaged.

Shen Tuhao slowly pulled out an alloy arrow, huh!

I saw a blue light streak through, and instantly submerged into the body of the demon scorpion, and the alien demon scorpion fell to the ground without even screaming, and the two huge claws were twitching weakly.

Ling Li's gaze looked at Shen Tuhao, "Hehe, does the attached Demon Yuan have the ability to paralyze?" ”

Shen Tu Hao bowed slightly and replied, "Enlighten Holy Lord, what your subordinates are cultivating is poison ability. ”

"Oh, that's a rare ability, and it can be very useful in some situations." Ling Li said.

Jing Ruoxi, who was Li Shanqing's guard, was confronting the two mantis demon insects, the two mantis demon insects were wielding the giant scythe of the previous skill, their eyes were glowing red, and the chirper under their wings emitted a piercing metallic tremor sound, and rushed towards Jing Ruoxi.

Jing Ruoxi's figure, which was staring at the movements of the two mantis demon insects, suddenly bounced up, and the spear in his hand shot out like lightning.

Boom! Laugh at......

The hard alloy carapace of one mantis demon insect was directly penetrated, and the other one had already been copied from the back bread, but Jing Ruoxi didn't look back, and his backhand was a shot.

Boom!

The insect was knocked into the air, its head shattered, and it fell to the ground and was silent.

After looking at it, Ling Li frowned slightly, "These insects are too scattered, and it is too troublesome to clean up." ”

Yutai Yingge stood beside him, "When encircling and suppressing the insect swarm, you can't be too anxious to kill the smart insects, otherwise the insect swarm will scatter and flee after losing its command, and it will become difficult to clean it up." ”

There are a lot of these otherworldly demon worms, but there are not many high-level demon worms, and if you really want to completely cut off their reproduction, you have to find the mother worm cave and kill it, which is the root cause. However, Brother Yutai Ying said that the mother insect cave is generally located thousands of meters underground, and it is protected by many high-level demon insects, which is generally difficult to find.

The humans on the Red Flame Continent are not familiar with the habits of the newly invaded otherworldly creatures, but fortunately, Yutai Yingge knows some information. The burrows where the mother worm is located are not only deep underground, but also very complex.

After listening to Brother Taiying's introduction, Ling Li temporarily gave up his plan to find the mother nest of the alien insects.

On his northward journey this time, he had basically completed the reconnaissance mission, and figured out the source and reason for the occurrence of the beast tide due to the invasion from the otherworldly insect tide.

The emergence of a large-scale insect wave is to a large extent a sign that a new catastrophe is coming.

Ling Li prepared to return to report to the military department, and also hoped that the high-level side would be prepared in advance to deal with the catastrophe.

He was getting ready to make a move when Twenty-Seven appeared in front of him.

"It has been detected that a nearby city is being attacked by insects, and as a starry warrior, you have an obligation to go to the rescue." This is the second time that a mission has been issued to him in 207. Fortunately, due to Ling Li's protest, this time this guy did not directly use the energy of the system to move Ling Li.

Ling Li knew that although there was no reward for the task given by 207, it could not be violated.

"Where?" He had no choice but to say.

"Yuya City." "It's not far from here." ”

He checked the map, and the city of Yuya was only a little over a hundred and twenty kilometers away from where he was.

It seems that the detection and perception range of the system is much larger than its own.

Ling Li summoned the Witch Demon Clan guards who were cleaning up the insects in the surrounding area, and then rushed to Yuya City.

Arriving outside the city, he landed at a railroad crossing and summoned his guards out of the trial space as the group traveled along the dilapidated railroad tracks toward the city. Near the railway line, there were scattered insects swimming, and some broken corpses could be seen everywhere on both sides, and the flesh was almost eaten, leaving only a bloody stain.

According to the quest hint given by 207, there should still be surviving humans in the city......
