Chapter 170: Fly Up, Fall
"Okay, are you ready?"
"I think we should think about going down there first...... Walking on the bridge does a lot of harm but no good. ”
"Are you praying mantis people so inked?"
"Are your races so bold?"
"My race has always been brave enough to challenge giant, highly intelligent creatures that are several times larger than me, and the little insects on the top of the bridge in front of me are completely unsightly compared to that kind of creature."
Looking at the little cockroach in front of him eager to try, the mantis's heart was still trembling.
"Do you want to be a hero for a while, or a coward for a lifetime!"
"I just want to go home and see ......"
"Very good, you seem to want to be a hero, let's go up."
The other party didn't take his words seriously at all, and the praying mantis was also discouraged: "Okay, just go down, if we encounter the danger of being incapacitated, we will immediately dive down." ”
"Got it."
"......" looked at Wan Yi and said to the praying mantis, "My name is Cullom, what's your name?" ”
"Wan Yi."
"It's a bit of a strange tone."
"I'm from a far away place." Maybe it's called "South".
Finally, after some psychological construction, finally, the praying mantis and cockroaches were ready, and then jumped up on the edge of the bridge at the same time.
Phew!
The praying mantis spread its wings and flew in the air, and Wan Yi ......
"I'll go, I can really fly...... But isn't that a bit shaky? At the moment when Wan Yi was determined to take off, he felt the soft cloak behind him suddenly harden.
It then flutters quickly at a very high frequency with a creepy flight sound.
He really flew!
But for some reason, it just feels shaky.
"No problem, cockroaches do fly like this."
"It's very much in line with the public's impression of cockroaches."
"The body is so small, I thought it was a small cockroach in the north, and the attitude of this flight should be a big cockroach in the south."
The clones responded to Wan Yi's question.
However, after Wan Yi flew for a while, he immediately felt a feeling of being out of breath.
The cloak behind him fanned hard for a while, and it seemed to be about to soften.
"It's not very long-lasting......"
Just when Wan Yi was about to fall, Kulom hurriedly grabbed Wan Yi: "After talking for a long time, in the end you are so unskilled in flying!" Do you want to challenge the heavens?! ”
"Actually, it's my first flight."
Cullom directly burst out a large number of foul mouths, and his hand shook and almost didn't throw Wan Yi down directly.
"No, we're going to turn back immediately."
"That may be too late."
Sou!
Overhead, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a white spear flew in, and Cullom held it out with his free hand with a nice crunch.
But immediately after, in the black shadows on the top of the bridge, orange eyes lit up one after another.
"It might be a little late now." Wan also made a voice as if it was none of his business.
Whoosh!
The sound of countless spears breaking through the air sounded, and the white spears rained towards the two insects.
Wan Yi quickly climbed from Cullom's arms onto its head.
"It should be easier for you to have your hands free this way."
Cullom wanted to curse the worm, but it was too late.
He quickly waved the blades of his hands to shoot down the spears that were close to the surroundings one by one, and Wan Yi also took out the insect knife to help, and it was not difficult to hold one acre and three points of land.
After a rain of spears passed, it was followed by those flying beetles that attacked directly.
Although the equipment and carapace on their bodies are not often taken care of, there is no doubt that they are infinitely superior to the insects roaming the wasteland outside.
The fastest bug at the head came directly to Cullom, who hurriedly set up his twin knives to block the opponent's thrust.
Then the twin blades opened their spears and unleashed an incredibly swift second combo.
Although the opponent sprinted quickly, his reaction did not seem to be so fast, and he was directly killed by Cullom's twin knives that cut through the weak point of the carapace.
"Very well, it seems that you have what it takes to apply for the Guardian of the Holy Hallownest." Wan Yi said as he leaned on the back of Cullom's neck.
"They are only blinded by the plague, and there is no comparison with their normal condition." "And the Mantis don't need the approval of the Nest. ”
"Hallownest doesn't want to be sure of you, but Hallownest is now going to stab you into a hornet's nest." Wan Yi shook its head so that it could see the large number of guards following in front of it.
Cullom quickly waited for the battle, dodging the straight line of several guards, but because of the large number of them, he finally couldn't dodge and had to fight the opponent again.
Wan also climbed up and down on Culom's body, holding the insect knife in his hand to pick the right time to slash and help relieve the pressure.
Although Cullom always felt a little weird about such a black, oval-shaped thing constantly going back and forth on his body, but soon the opponent's gradual and violent momentum made it not have the heart to think about it anymore, it was almost unable to hold on!
No, how far they have only flown out, how far is there in front of them, so many guards guarding this bridge, it is not at all possible that insect power can break through.
Just as it was about to swoop down to the bottom of the bridge as it had intended, suddenly, its wings flicked and stopped.
Not in preparation for the dive, but to stop without warning.
Cullom fell a long way before he forced his wings to flapp again, steadying in mid-air.
"What's the matter with you?" Wan Yi was also taken aback by the other party.
"I ......" Cullom looked complicated, but a large number of bugs rushed towards it from above.
Wan Yi sighed helplessly, then took out the Soul Eater Wand, and several soul crystals flashed on his small black hand after turning into a small cockroach.
Condensed into the staff, it raised its hand and pointed into the air.
In the next moment, the soul power turned into countless wailing souls that roared into the air and slammed into the air.
The guards who were close were directly swallowed by the power of the soul, and there was nothing left, and those who were farther away would also be shocked by the impact of the soul.
It was like throwing a fire in the midst of the insects, and countless insects were burned and fell after being killed.
Wan also picked up a lot of soul crystals in the process.
He looked at the soul crystals floating in his hand: "The soul of the insect seems to be the same as a human." ”
At least the condensed soul crystals don't make a difference.
"Wan Yi." Cullom burst out.
"What's the matter?"
"I probably won't be able to hold it out."
"What's going on?"
"Flying ......"
Before he could speak, Cullom's wings froze again.
Both began to fall.
"You did it on purpose?" Wan also questioned in the air.
"It's not! If you say it, how can I regret it?! Cullom shouted.
"What's going on with that?!"
"I'm almost an adult! The wings are already degrading! ”
"Is praying mantis like this?!"
"We're praying mantis!"
"In the end, you won't be able to fly steadily!"
"You're a first-time flyer, so you're not qualified to talk about me about this!"
The cockroach and the praying mantis were arguing in the air, and their wings were constantly fluttering, although the falling momentum was slowed down, but it still couldn't change the fact that they kept falling.
When the guards recovered from the stamina of the soul technique, they could no longer find their target.
The orange eyes flickered slightly, and finally they all flew back to the top of the bridge, and went into hibernation to wait for the next intruder.
……
"It's amazing, a cockroach flying for the first time, a praying mantis with degraded wings on the verge of becoming an adult, it seems that our outcome is predestined a long time ago." Wan Yi said, looking at the lush surroundings.
At the end of the day, I still have to walk through here.
The surroundings were covered with moss, and not far away there was a clear river, and the vegetation grew wildly, among which many thick thorns covered the land.
"I've said that there is courage and no strategy in challenging the way of heaven." The praying mantis said as he lay on the ground.
"Actually, it's the same for me everywhere."
"Why do I feel like you're having a hard mouth?"
"No, I didn't." The little cockroach puffed out its chest.
The two small whiskers on Kulom's head drooped a little weakly, but suddenly remembered something and asked, "You just used a soul spell?" ”
"Huh? Pretty much. ”
"I've heard that only the snail clan can wield this mysterious power, have you ever received the blessing of the snail clan?"
"Huh? I don't, do snails bless cockroaches? ”
"Well, I haven't really seen a snail clan either. But it seems that you are indeed very powerful, much better than me. ”
"Aren't you pretty good?" Although Wan Yi has never seen any other warriors in this world, Kulom's combat performance in the air is really good.
If it weren't for the deterioration of the wings, maybe the two insects would have been able to fly over the bridge with Wan Yi.
Wan Yi looked at the orange-red glow in his hand, like orange juice-like soul crystals, these things were the souls he had collected from the guards before.
It's not the same as a normal soul.
"These souls look tainted."
"The plague of blindness." Cullom said after one look.
"You know?"
"I came a little before you, and I found out a little bit about it while wandering." "In the middle of the Holy War, the power of the blinding light began to infiltrate the minds of the bugs indiscriminately. The insects who championed the Blindlight sacrificed their minds to become ruthless warriors, and the Pale King's armies were corrupted by the Blindlight. ”
"Those guards were like that just now?"
"Yes. The blinding light is like a madman, and its power spreads like a plague. You could get impregnated and become a puppet ......," Cullom's voice grew quieter and quieter.
Wan also felt the growing fear wafting from it.
Only then did he understand what the half-adult mantis was really afraid of.
