After helping the hunter treat his wounds, Zheng Shu immediately rushed in the direction where Atalanta had left.

Fortunately, Atalanta didn't run too fast to track the enemy's tracks, so Zheng Shu quickly caught up with her.

"You don't need it, listen to his intelligence, you should know that the enemy this time is not the level of a wild boar, and if you are not careful, you may even lose your life." Atalanta looked at Zheng Shu who was catching up with her with some surprise, she thought that the other party would be scared away after hearing an enemy of this level.

"You may not believe it, but this enemy has something to do with me, so I need to get rid of it." Zheng Shu smiled at Atalanta and continued to look around at the situation.

Although the swarms are always flying high in the air, occasionally some bugs fly a little lower and destroy the canopy of the tree. Following the traces of destruction, Zheng Shu could confirm that the enemy had indeed been flying in this direction.

The two of them ran from dark to dawn until dawn, and finally managed to find the traces of this group of bugs. Although Zheng Shu and Atalanta didn't run with all their strength just in case, it could also be seen how fast the group of bugs moved.

Stopping their rapid movement when they were far away, Zheng Shu and Atalanta searched for the roots of the trees on the ground to use as a foothold to move, so as not to make a sound when stepping on fallen leaves or dead branches.

Moving silently, shielding themselves from the trees, the two soon reached the edge of the swarm.

There are a large number of bugs patrolling inside, and one careless insect may alarm the swarm, so they can only hide in the canopy of trees and watch the situation in the distance from afar.

"It's a little bit worse than expected, and the number of bugs is much higher than expected." Zheng Shu looked at the busy insect swarm in the distance, and his face was a little unpleasant.

In front of him was a swarm of nearly a thousand bugs.

The bugs are all black, with a metallic sheen reflected on their heavy shells, and each one is the size of a van, with some being so large that they can even reach the front level of a heavy truck.

The insect looks a bit like a longhorn, with transparent wings wrapped around the shell on its back, and a single horn that looks very strong and sharp from the thick carapace of the head.

Zheng Shu could see that many male bugs used their horns to compare their horns to determine their status, and some of them looked very high-ranking bugs, and their horns were so thick that they looked like a battering ram.

The six pairs of arthropods under the body were extremely sharp, looking like sharp knives, and Zheng Shu could clearly see that when they encountered some trees, they only needed to use their arthropods to gently hug them to be able to directly cut off a one-person thick tree.

The strength is also terrifying, these van-sized bugs are basically able to fly with wood three to five times their body size, and they still seem to have more than enough power.

According to Zheng Shu's common sense, the oxygen consumed by such a large insect is also extremely terrifying, and theoretically this level of oxygen is not enough to supply them for activities, and they will only suffocate to death.

But in ancient Greece in the age of the gods, in addition to oxygen, there was magic in the atmosphere that could be used as a bio-powered energy source.

In turn, it means that each of the insects in front of him is a Warcraft-level existence.

With the help of the magic in the atmosphere, these bugs can even use their unusually thin wings to fly at high speeds.

"It's really a bit beyond imagination, it seems that we can only wait for the 'heroes' in the city to come to support." Atalanta sighed.

Looking at the outrageous number of insect swarms in the distance, even Atalanta suppressed her original desire for revenge, this level of number may only be handled by those legendary heroes with divine blood.

"No, there's no time." Zheng Shu looked at the scene in the distance and rejected Atalanta's proposal, "Your adoptive father has serious injuries on his body, plus four small children, even if he leaves the children in the hunter's hut, it will take at least three or four days to go back and forth...... This is still on the premise of finding the right heroes in the town to come to the aid immediately. ”

Zheng Shu poked his head out of the canopy of the trees slightly and pointed to a place in the distance: "Look there, inside the nest they have built. ”

Atalanta turned her head to look at the ruins of trees rather than a nest, reinforced with white slime and black bugs crawling in and out from time to time.

Due to the sheer size of the building, Atalanta had noticed it since she came here, but after Zheng Shu's prompting, she discovered some details that she had overlooked.

In the inner layer of the trees, there are a large number of small white balls that look dense, and because they are too small and white with the outer slime, they will be ignored if you are not careful.

However, when the sun rises, these small white balls will reflect a more dazzling light in the light of the sun, and you can still see it if you look closely.

Atalanta's face immediately turned ugly when she saw those small balls that were dense enough to cause a dense phobia: "Eggs!? And so much? ”

"It looks like these bugs do get enough food to lay their eggs here." Zheng Shu relied on the eyes that transformed into dragon pupils, and was able to see more details.

Inside the lair, all the flesh collected by the swarm along the way was concentrated.

In front of the huge Roshan, there is an unusually bloated-looking beetle that is constantly feeding, its belly is not protected by a black carapace like other beetles, it looks more like a huge white silkworm chrysalis.

As the insect feeds, its belly wriggles, and every once in a while, a white egg is produced on its tail, at which point a group of smaller insects carry the eggs to the inside of the wood that makes up the nest and stick it with slime.

Zheng Shu, who was familiar with various and game settings, immediately recognized that this unusually bloated-looking bug should be the mother worm of this swarm.

It looks like the bugs that attack the village are probably just part of it, collecting enough food for the mother.

Zheng Shu bared his teeth, if this was really the case, then it meant that the number of this swarm was even more than what he saw now, because it meant that a large number of bugs who were out of the field had not yet returned.

Of course, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is that Zheng Shu has already seen that many eggs have begun to tremble violently, according to the breath he sensed, it is estimated that it will not take long for the outermost eggs to hatch.

It is estimated that in a day or two at most, the number of this swarm will increase significantly.

Zheng Shu told Atalanta what he had seen, and Tameow was so shocked that her hair stood on end: "Damn! Then we must find a way to stop their development, and if this continues, it won't be long before the swarm can reach the level where it can invade the city-state. ”

After saying that, Atalanta lowered her head a little helplessly, because she had realized that it was impossible for the two of them to complete the plan to stop this group of bugs, and even if two of them ran out now, it would only add some new food to this group of bugs.

"I have a solution." Zheng Shu's voice called Atalanta out of her inner thoughts, "As far as I know, Tameow, your speed should be very fast, right?" ”

"I'm not Tameow, I'm Atalant...... Forget it, that's right! So far, I haven't found anyone who can be faster than me. "Atalanta didn't bother to correct the mistake in Zheng Shu's mouth.

"I'm just calling you Ta Meow just to remember...... Zheng Shu smiled, "Since your speed is so fast, then you can go to the city now and tell them about it, with your speed, it shouldn't take much time to go back and forth." Move quickly, even if the heroes in the city-state are not as fast as you, they should be able to get here in two days. Of course, in order to be able to convince them, it is better to bring a little evidence. ”

"What evidence?"

"Does that need to be said? Let them see the corpses of the bugs, of course. Zheng Shu shrugged his shoulders, "With your strength, what is the maximum size of the corpse you can bring without affecting your speed?" ”

"Not sure, it depends on how heavy the body of the insects is, if it's similar to the quality of wild boar, then I can probably afford half of the carcass." "But how can we kill a bug silently?" We don't know how sensitive these bugs are, but if we make too much movement and attract extra bugs, we may not even be able to escape. ”

"Aren't you a hunter?" Zheng Shu looked at Atalanta's face seriously, "Then the trap should be done, right?" ”

……

……

A black beetle the size of a Wuling Hongguang mini is constantly patrolling back and forth in the sky, which is its fixed patrol location, in order to prevent any hostile creatures from sneaking into the nest and harming the mother.

As a guard bug, this black beetle is not very old, probably less than three days old, so it is a little smaller than the other bugs.

Unlike their mothers, the worker bugs that the guard worms are out searching for food do not need to eat meat at all to grow, and even in extreme cases, they only need to eat a lot of mana to gain size.

However, even if it only eats plants, it only takes three days for this insect to grow to such a size, but after all, it is too short to be born, and it is still defective in the application of magic power, so after flying for about half a day, it needs to stop and let the organs in its body control magic power rest.

And at this time, it is also the time for this guard insect to eat, and it will seize all the time to keep devouring the plants in the surrounding land, so that it can grow as fast as possible.

However, with the expansion of the Zerg population, it is now necessary to fly a short distance to eat plants rich in vitality.

If it were a human being, it would inevitably choose to move the base when encountering such a situation. However, in the case of insects, they need to wait for the mother to lay the last eggs before leaving with all the wood with the eggs attached to them, and find a new place with rich resources to continue to thrive.

Therefore, this guard worm can only run a short distance to feed, and of course, it will keep filling its mouth with dirt on the way to increase its development as much as possible.

Coming to a forest, the guard insect suddenly smells a breath that the instinct in its genes lets it know that this breath means that there are injured animals nearby.

Based on the instinct engraved in their genes, the guard insects immediately stopped eating and happily rushed to the location of the breath, for them to help the mother worm collect food and protect the safety of the female worm is the highest order.

Coming to the target location, although the eyesight is not very good, the other perception of the guardian insect is very strong, and it has been able to detect a mass of meat on the ground in the distance.

Any animal with a slight IQ would be wary of such a sudden appearance of a piece of meat in the wilderness, but the guard bug, although much larger, is only a bug after all, and it is obviously a bit too difficult for it to understand something other than instinct.

Not surprisingly, when the guard worm came to the flesh, it suddenly felt empty under its feet, and then its entire body fell into a huge pit.

At the bottom of the pit were sharpened and several awls were inserted, but the spikes of the wood could not break through the carapace of the guard insects.

Suddenly attacked, the guard insect reflexively spread its wings and tried to fly away from the crater, passing a message to the swarm in the distance.

Woohoo!

At the moment when it lifted the black carapace on its back to reveal the transparent wings, two bows and arrows shot precisely at the base of the transparent wings with a cracking sound.

Smack!

Two crisp sounds were heard, and the bow and arrow struck the base of the transparent wings with precision and shot through them, and then the two unusually large wings fell to the ground.

The Guardian Worm swayed its body frantically in an attempt to make a sound, but unfortunately without the friction of its transparent wings, it was unable to make any sound despite its constant opening and closing of its mouthparts.

"Well done!" Zheng Shu's figure appeared above the big pit, and he jumped directly down with his mace.

Boom!

Without any accidents, Zheng Shu's mace smashed precisely into the junction between the head and body of the guard worm.

Behind the worm, the black carapace, which had not had time to close, was knocked down from the junction of the body by the mace, revealing the softer abdomen below.
