Chapter 546: Chapter 401: Anomaly [Insect] and Treasure_2
After all, there are over twenty Level 7 Grandmasters in the team, with the rest of the soldiers at a minimum of Level Four.
And then, seemingly startled, the insects made a sharp 180-degree turn, hurriedly fleeing back into the Abyssal Rift, leaving behind more than a thousand corpses.
Green liquid and insect limbs exploded all over the place.
“What’s going on…” Lu Yuan was also a bit confused, have humans become this powerful?
“Are there any injured, administer on-site treatment!”
“Report! There are no injured, it’s just that everyone went all out, leaving no survivors.”
...
“No survivors are fine… it seems this is the boundary of danger, no need to proceed further, let’s retreat 10 kilometers, find a high place and set up camp.”
Although they had won a great victory, everyone still felt uneasy, quietly discussing after cleaning up the battlefield.
It seemed like the Insect Race generally possessed optical invisibility assassination abilities, which made them virtually invisible unless very close.
Their combat abilities were not very high, generally below Level 3 warriors.
“I understand now…” Professor Lu Tiantian analyzed, “In that rift, the Mind base is quite high, so their optical invisibility abilities are extremely strong, it’s totally normal that our initial reconnaissance did not detect them.”
“But on this high mountain, the Mind base radiation is almost zero, making it difficult to activate their ‘invisibility’ ability. That’s why they gave themselves away.”
“We should be relatively safe setting up camp here.”
“However, we shouldn’t be too happy… after all, we represent the highest combat power of humanity, it’s normal that we could withstand this, let’s try to capture a few alive…”
Guo Dafeng said, “My Field is suitable for reconnaissance, you guys rest assured and take turns on duty.” Meanwhile, Lu Yuan, controlling the “Greedy Demon God”, climbed up a hillside, and silently initiated “Transform”!
His skin rapidly stonified, transforming into an unremarkable rock.
His eyes emitted a faint red light, activating the “Explorer’s Eye”, peering towards the rift.
Through the “Amplification” function of the Greedy Demon God, the “Explorer’s Eye” penetrated the fog and observed deeper layers of the ground surface.
An indescribable feeling rose from his heart, accompanied by a slight yet present sense of crisis.
He saw a layer of mud-like substance, constantly wriggling deep underground, chewing up the earth into pits and troughs.
Some of the surfaces even exposed glowing magma, but these “muds” continued to consume fearlessly.
Further magnifying the view, these wriggling “muds” turned out to be dark brown worms.
There were also numerous creatures similar to the Insect Race, devouring these black worms. They generally had fierce compound eyes and wings on their backs.
Their shapes were varied… there were ladybug forms, mantis forms, centipede forms, scorpion forms…
Even Leviathan, Mammoth forms!
The closer to Earth’s Core, the stronger the creatures.
These powerful beings vaguely sensed Lu Yuan’s surveillance, their compound eyes staring towards the sky.
Whereas the upper layer creatures, due to absorbing less energy, were just some weak small fries.
All of these images fully imprinted in his mind.
Dense, endless, almost in the trillions!
Lu Yuan furrowed his brows and spoke into the headset: “It’s confirmed… there are anomalies [Insects] below, devouring the minerals in the abyss! Is it possible that this great abyss was formed by the devouring of insects?”
“The number of insects… is like the sands of the Ganges River.”
“Those that just attacked us, might just be some insignificant fringe characters.”
…
Anomaly [Insects]!
The good mood of the Exploration Team was completely gone.
They thought they had found a rich land where they could make a fortune and solve the current economic crisis.

Turns out, a bunch of insects had beaten them to it!!
Thinking that the minerals that should have belonged to them were being crazily consumed, their mood couldn’t get any worse, everyone had gloomy faces, utterly disappointed.
The exploration turned out to be futile, and thinking about any civilization relics might have already been gnawed to bits.
Anomaly [Insect], its ability is Devouring Evolution.
Even [Ghost]’s power can be devoured!
Let alone a relic…
What people need to consider now is, should they… run away?
There are only over one thousand four hundred Insect Soldiers on the human side, already the main force of the war.
Now, the insects in this canyon are in the trillions!
The war capabilities of both sides are simply not on the same level!
Moreover… the Insects on the human side are actually evolved after devouring the Green Grass People’s genes, generally quite intelligent and relatively mild-mannered.
Sometimes they are a bit silly, acting cute and such.
But these batches here, with their ferocious looks and the crazy devouring scene, are definitely not benign.
“Insects and insects are also not the same…”
Lu Yuan also has a grim expression, “Greedy Demon God” may be very powerful, but fighting consumes Spirit Essence… If he goes down and starts a massive fight based on his preferences, it would definitely be a loss.
The “God” Attribute of these insects is terribly low, even if the Greedy Demon God devours all trillion insects there won’t be much energy!
With this thought, Lu Yuan could only declare, to halt advance.
“Everyone, don’t rush, let’s investigate further.”
A thousand people set up camp on a high slope, all kinds of Puppet Mecha weapon systems ready to be activated at any moment.
And the Sky Fortress also slowly descended, making “wah-gah wah-gah” sounds, it seemed to sense the presence of its kind, eagerly wanting to devour them…
The Insect Race’s original living environment is primarily based on devouring each other, big fish eating small fish, these guys are simply eager, like they’ve gone mad.
“Quiet down! Is this the time for you to make noise?”
Lu Yuan scolded it and discussed the current predicament with everyone.
A military expert analyzed: “Once the Anomaly [Insects] discover the human base, we might be completely wiped out… They are very sensitive to life forms with high ‘God’ Attributes.”
“Even those traces of civilization could be because they were wiped out… The civilization here might have already perished, no wonder we couldn’t find it after searching for so long.”
Everyone fell silent.
“So the safest choice is to take a detour and leave, the farther the better.”
But just leaving like this, the group felt somewhat reluctant.
[Insects] are not one of the Four Great Calamities, just an ordinary anomaly after all.
Only the Worm King and Mother Worm have certain intelligence, other insects are just fools.
Should humans run away upon encountering them? Then what’s the point of all these years of development?
This crack is an extremely rare subterranean world with such a vast territory, is it all occupied by the Anomaly [Insects]? Isn’t there any scraps left?
Don’t humans have anything to gain?
With this thought, everyone kept silent.
“Let’s think differently, maybe the so-called ‘dangerous place’ refers to these insects? We might think differently, only by hiding among the insect swarm, we have a chance to avoid the Epoch Disaster, right?”
“It kind of makes sense.”
“If that’s really the case… then the relic might still exist?”
Even Lu Yuan was somewhat unwilling, he now has a Mythical Level combat body, even the strongest insect, he could easily defeat, it would only cost him some money.
That’s his confidence!
Escaping dejectedly is really not his style.
“The biggest weakness of the Anomaly [Insects] is the Mother Worm, as long as we find the Mother Worm and kill it, the swarm will disperse without a leader, posing no threat.”
“But how do we find the Mother Worm… it must possess considerable intelligence, hiding itself.”
