Chapter 198 The Queen's Trap!
"Damn! This thing has a limit to its durability?!"
Seeing this, Cangnian cursed inwardly and ran towards the other end of the insect shell without thinking!
Fortunately, the queen sheds her exoskeleton from the front, leaving a large slit through which the cygnets can pass directly.
The queen insect travels quite quickly underground, but the venerable one is even faster!
But after running wildly for several kilometers, Cang Nian had no choice but to suddenly brake!
There's no road ahead!
"Damn it! This queen insect wasn't planning on running away at all!"
"We specifically set up this ambush here to deal with the pursuers!"
Seeing this, Cang Nian's expression became even more unpleasant.
It's not a lie that the Queen Insect was on the ground when Tiger Dad pierced her head with a single [Hyper Beam].
However, it seems to have used its superpowers to give itself two, or even more, heads!
At the very top, with its giant pincer-like mandibles, is its first head! It's its most powerful weapon!
But this head doesn't have a brain inside, or rather, it has multiple brains as backups!
Once the first head was gone, it broke through the old shell from its tail, which was hidden underground, and escaped downwards.
And those hideous rings of mandibles it now has are its second head!
There might not even be a brain here.
Nobody knows where its real brain is hidden.
After burrowing underground, it escaped by tunneling all the way, and after a few kilometers, it quickly shed its shell from its head again, leaving behind a new shell. This made the pursuers behind it stop and bought them time to prepare for what was to come!
Then, it drilled forward for several kilometers, and then turned back, blocking the entrance to the hole with the soil and rocks underground, turning the place into a dead end!
Finally, it circled back behind the insect shell, turned around, and charged forward, ready to kill the pursuers blocking its way!
The whole plan was quite simple, but it was undeniably very effective.
Who would have thought that it, with its exceptional skills and audacity, would turn around and set a trap?
After figuring it out, Cangnian quickly used his night vision to observe where there were any fresh traces around him.
He quickly realized that the earthen wall on the right side of the dead end was clearly different from the surrounding walls!
Cang Nian quickly used the Healing Law Pill he was holding in his mouth on the little sable on his back!
As the emerald light enveloped the little sable, the backlash it suffered from the shattered halo immediately subsided considerably.
"Ow~!"
Cang Nian let out a howl, prompting the little sable to quickly open a spatial gate and pass through the earthen wall in front of them!
Zhizhi~!
However, the little sable sensed something and shook its head in a panic.
Can't open!
It cannot sense that there is open space ahead!
The little sable's spatial portal must be opened in an open space without any obstacles; otherwise, it will fail to open.
After all, if it can be opened inside an object, it can simply open a spatial gate in the brain to extract the opponent's brain matter and kill them instantly, no matter what kind of enemy it is.
Moreover, the portal is for teleportation; if there is no space to land, it cannot be opened.
"Damn! That's ruthless!"
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian cursed again.
This queen insect really didn't hold back at all; she not only blocked this place into a dead end, but even the area where she finished off was blocked for at least a hundred meters!
"Ow~!"
Then, Cangnian quickly came up with another idea and asked the little sable.
The queen insect's length is definitely not 100 meters!
Once the Queen Insect rushes close to them, have the little sable release the longest-range spatial portal so they can bypass the Queen Insect and go around to its back. That way they can survive!
Zhizhi~!
After hearing Cang Nian's suggestion, the little sable shook its head.
Its current spiritual power is insufficient to release a spatial gate of maximum distance.
"Ow~!"
Then let's eat pine nuts!
The old man was getting anxious.
Zhizhi~!
The little sable was so anxious it was about to cry.
It had already exhausted itself once after accurately transferring Tiger Dad's [Destructive Ray] to the Queen's head.
It had already eaten pine nuts at that time.
Just now, it suffered a backlash from the broken light wheel and ate a second pine nut immediately, but it did not recover!
Pine nuts' healing effect is only effective once in a short period of time!
This was something no one could have predicted beforehand.
Moreover, because of the preciousness of pine nuts, Cang Nian was reluctant to try taking them regularly.
Therefore, the fact that it was only exposed at this critical moment has had a fatal impact!
Upon hearing the little sable's explanation, Cangnian felt as if the sky had fallen.
Ugh, it’s over.
Boom boom boom~!
Just as Cangnian and the little sable were staring at each other, the sound of the queen insect approaching from behind became clearer and clearer!
In those few kilometers, the Queen Insect crawled to catch up. It wouldn't be long before the Cangnian and the little sable had only been talking for a short while.
At this point, even if Cangnian tried to dig a hole with his claws, it was too late.
As the mandibles, composed of massive, menacing rings of sharp teeth, drew ever closer, Cang Nian gritted his teeth, then his gaze hardened, filled with a chilling resolve.
"Ow~!"
Cangnian bowed his head and solemnly instructed the little sable before charging towards the queen insect on the opposite side!
"I didn't expect I'd still have to use this thing once..."
Cang Nian smiled bitterly to himself.
With his strength, if the queen insect were on the ground, he would have had plenty of opportunities to maneuver around and try to kill her using conventional methods.
But now, due to his carelessness, he has fallen into the other party's trap and is in a desperate situation, leaving him no choice but to fight head-on.
I am a second-tier evolved creature, while the Queen is a third-tier evolved creature. Even though I was severely injured before, my second-tier overlimit burst was not enough to go head-to-head with such a behemoth.
and so……
20% power!
Three-gear over-limit burst!
20% speed!
Three-gear over-limit burst!
20% defense!
Three-gear over-limit burst!
Forced into a deadly situation, Cangnian disregarded everything and went all out!
The unprecedented third-level overlimit burst caused Cang Nian's muscles to swell to a terrifying degree, losing all aesthetic appeal and instead resembling a monster!
But in the next instant, the swollen muscles quickly contracted, returning to a size only slightly larger than before.
But the muscle lines are like those cast in gold, extremely sharp and strong, like a sculpture!
Buzz~!
Immediately afterwards, his fur shone with a dazzling golden light, as if it were covered with a layer of gold paint!
Whoosh—Boom—!!!
In a moment imperceptible to the naked eye, Cangnian blasted himself out like a cannonball, unleashing terrifying power!
Inside the underground tunnel, rings of sonic boom clouds bloomed along the path of the shooting dragon, carrying unparalleled destructive power!
Under the third-gear over-limit burst, Cang Nian's speed is 6.2 times the base speed, which is two and a half times the speed of sound!
This speed is already at the level of some modern main battle missiles!
Stab-! ! !
In an instant, Cang Nian transformed into a beam of light, crashing into the queen insect's ferocious mouthparts and then bursting out from its tail, leaving a long trail of blood that shot through the air!
