566 The Strange Bug Race
“What’s going on? Where were the bugs? Don’t tell me we’ve won?”
“Something’s wrong! Didn’t they say that this was a bug disaster? Since it was a bug disaster, how could it be passed so quickly? The war should have just begun.”
“Strange, there were a lot of bugs before. How come they disappeared as we killed them? The bug race is so timid. Do you think they’re afraid of us?”
“Something’s wrong! Didn’t they say that this was a bug disaster? Since it was a real bug disaster, how could it be passed so easily? The war should have just begun. It’s only been two days. How can it end like this?”
“I feel a little uneasy. Are these bugs plotting something?”
The foreign race warriors in the Huge Boulder City recovered from the battle. When they saw the disappearance of all the bugs in the dark, they were all surprised.
According to the bug race’s nature, they would not give up until they achieved their goals. They would rarely give up halfway.
It was simply impossible for them to withdraw their troops before the battle. But now, it had happened, which was somewhat unusual.
There must be something wrong!
The bug race lost no less than ten million bugs in this war. The foreign race had lost more than a million people in the Huge Boulder City. The battlefield was highly tragic, but now it had a strong start but a weak end. This was hard to understand.
They were ready to eradicate their opponents, but suddenly they were gone. So what the hell was this? Who would believe that the bug race had retreated?
However, it was currently nighttime. Even if it were daytime, with the dusky environment of the Myriad World Continent, it would be hard to find traces of the bug race in the wilderness. So naturally, they could not send people out to investigate.
Moreover, the war had just ended, and it was time for the foreign races to catch their breath and recover. So they did not have much energy to care about what the bug race was planning.
Even if they knew, could they change anything?
Who knew what kind of danger was hidden in the darkness? If they were in such a state just by relying on the city’s defense, if they were in the wilderness without any support, it would be equivalent to seeking death.
“It looks like they’re withdrawing their troops!”
The collapse of the bug race left Li Xiang shocked and a little suspicious.
The bug race’s actions were too obvious. As long as one was not stupid, anyone could notice the abnormality. Did the bug race not want to fight anymore?
As far as he knew, the bug race had no fear.
“This is interesting. There’s something fishy about the bug race. It’s not as simple as it seems on the surface,” said Alice with a slight frown.
She could also tell that something was wrong. It was ultimately not in line with the bug race’s fighting style. Even towards the end, the bug race’s endurance weakened significantly, giving people a feeling of powerlessness.
“There’s something strange. Let’s be on guard tonight. Everything will be clear tomorrow. Don’t leave Ice City for the time being!” Li Xiang thought about it and gave the order.
“The bug race retreated? What a strong start but a weak ending. We haven’t had enough of killing yet!”
Niu Ben said with a face full of dissatisfaction while holding the battleaxe covered in bug blood.
Most of the bugs were killed by one another and attacked by the arrows. Finally, the Barbarian warriors cleaned up the remaining bugs.
However, these were not enough to satisfy the Barbarians.
Whether it was Ice City or Huge Boulder City, they were both suspicious and uneasy about the sudden withdrawal of the bug race. However, they could not think of any hidden plot. Everything could only be discussed tomorrow.
At this moment, no one noticed that the massive amount of bug corpses and even the bodies of foreign race warriors on both battlefields had all disappeared.
After a significant battle, even the foreign races’ powerhouses were exhausted. They did not have the energy to pay attention to the outside world. Even if they had to clean up the battlefield, they would have to wait until tomorrow. The bodies were there anyway, and they thought they would not be lost.
After midnight, the Tower of Stars turned into a stream of light and appeared from the ground. It entered Li Xiang’s body and landed on the square outside the Starlight Shrine.
“Not bad! After devouring the bug corpses and foreign race corpses, the radius of the space within the Tower of Stars had increased by 500 kilometers. Now, the radius should have reached 3500 kilometers. As expected, this kind of plundering was the best way to grow. The corpses of these bugs are a rare source of nutrients.” Li Xiang was secretly happy.
The radius of the nine spaces in the Tower had increased by 500 kilometers. It did not seem like much, but it was a manifestation of the strengthening of the world’s origin. As a result, the Tower’s powers became more robust, and its foundation strengthened. It was naturally something to be celebrated.
Therefore, in the future, as long as there is a chance, Li Xiang will not give up on plundering.
No matter how tiny a mosquito was, it was still meat!
The next day, the sky was slightly white, but no red sun rose.
A dusky sky was considered good weather in the Myriad World Continent. However, if one were to encounter extreme weather, there would be acid rain, hailstones, tornadoes, and other extreme weather conditions. Therefore, those were forbidden areas for life.
Thankfully, there were enough transcendent beings in the Myriad World Continent. Otherwise, it would be terrible if this place was not suitable for reproduction.
“What’s going on? Where are the corpses? The bug corpses? What about the bodies of our sacrificed warriors? Where did they all go? What’s going on?”
“Who stole the bodies so cleanly without leaving a single body behind? They didn’t even alert anyone. Do bugs have this ability? It’s even cleaner than a dog’s licking!”
The foreign races in the Huge Boulder City woke up early in the morning. They found that the countless corpses, previously scattered across half of the city, had all disappeared without a trace.
This discovery almost made them jump in fright, and they all let out cries of surprise.
The corpses had disappeared in such a strange way without even alerting anyone. This method was too terrifying.
Some people did not believe it and ran to the city wall to take a look. They realized the hill-like pile of bug corpses outside the city had also disappeared. They were all stunned.
If it weren’t for the various damages and traces of battle on the city walls and the ground, they would have thought that yesterday’s experience might have been a dream.
The corpses could not disappear.
The most significant possibility was that someone had secretly taken them away, or the bug race had secretly moved the corpses back to the city at night.
The bug race had constantly been killing living beings and plundering everything with all their might. However, the corpses of these bug race beings could be used again, and the energy contained within them was tremendous.
But no matter what, it made many foreign races in the Huge Boulder City furious.
“Damn it, don’t let me find out who took away the bug corpses. There were so many of them. If we had collected them, whether it was the carapace or the other parts, they could all have been top-grade natural treasures that could be refined into weapons and armor. Now, it was gone just like that. It was simply incredible. After killing many bugs and suffering heavy casualties, we didn’t get anything in the end!”
