Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 248: Chapter 116 Hunting the Forbidden Army Insect!_2

’Crack,’ a fissure appeared on the sturdy keratin layer.

Afterwards, Li Yelai switched his ”Face” again, to that of Hated Earth Li Yuanba!

This was Li Yelai’s ideal tactic.

He used the Shadow Army to restrain or suppress the enemy, used ”Weakness Perception” to break through the defense directly, and then with ”Divine General Dharma Image,” launched the strongest attack straight into the flaw!

The immense ”Divine General Dharma Image” emerged within the Abyss Worm’s huge esophagus, brandishing a long spear, ready to jab at the crack with full force.

Outside, a golden light burst forth from the mouth of the Abyss Worm, followed by excruciating writhing.

Its massive body instantly crushed the nearby buildings and the encroaching Insect Swarm.

A Military Advisor Insect finally noticed something amiss in this battle zone and immediately issued orders for the Abyss Worm to burrow back underground.

It recognized the danger Li Yelai posed as an endless stream of high-ranked members of the Insect Race were being lured by Li Yelai and killed by the official captains. It had to eliminate this threat!

The Abyss Worm let out a scream of extreme agony; there was no time to flee far, and it crashed headlong into a three-story building on the human’s collapsed defense line.

This crushed the occupying Insect Swarm, inflicting heavy losses.

But it didn’t have time to care about these losses and began digging into the ground immediately to escape the battlefield.

This caused Moon Shadow’s face to change slightly, ”Block it! The Night General is still in its mouth!”

If the Abyss Worm escaped, retreating to the underground tunnels infested with the Insect Swarm, then the Night General would surely be doomed!

However, as the Abyss Worm was digging the tunnel, it suddenly made a sound as if it had witnessed something terrifying.

That was... located at the bottom of the three-story building, a large room with an ancient, quaint cottage inside.

The quaint cottage was silent, with incense smoke drifting out.

Moon Shadow’s pupils shrank at the sight, for he naturally knew what it was, a Level C Taboo Item, ”Rules House.”

This was a taboo object discovered inside of Giant City. Its true form was an ancient cottage that seemed ordinary.

The positive effect was that after entering the cottage and lighting incense, one could cleanse one’s mind of psychic anomalies. It was generally used to heal Spiritual Ability Users from mental Suggestion or hypnosis.

However, the cost was that if one did not enter the cottage according to its specified ”rules,” they would be punished.

The rules were extremely complicated; one had to knock three times on the left-side door before pushing it open with both hands, must step over the threshold with the left foot, must not touch the threshold, no loud noises inside the cottage, must hold incense and bow, and so on...

If one violated the rules, they would suffer terrible retribution.

The effects of the punishment varied, from being torn to shreds to disability or psychological trauma.

And it was because of these rules that the officials could not move it to the Black Prison. They could only build a building over its location and assign a Processor to look after it.

It was one of the few Taboo Items that officials had discovered but not moved into the Black Prison.

Now, in its attempt to burrow underground, the Abyss Worm had crashed straight through the building, exposing the Rules House to the light of day once again.

But the Rules House would not thank it because the reckless impact of the Abyss Worm had forcibly pushed open the main door.

This... had broken the rules!

In an instant, several pitch-black giant hands stretched out from the depths of the Rules House, grabbed the body of the Abyss Worm, and then twisted with force!

’Crack’ ’Crack’ ’Crack’

Loud snapping sounds were heard as the Abyss Worm was twisted into a writhing mess!

Its powerful life force prevented it from dying, but the breaking of its bones rendered it completely immobile.

Blood gushed out from its mouth, and along with it, Li Yelai and the Dharma Image were also flushed out.

This left Li Yelai somewhat astonished, then he turned his gaze toward the nearby Rules House.

The Rules House seemed to disdain, or perhaps was avoiding, something unfortunate.

The moment Li Yelai looked over, with a ’bang,’ the door closed shut.

Blocking Li Yelai’s inquisitive gaze from entering.

Moon Shadow was stunned; all of this seemed coincidental, but he realized this must have been the effect of Li Yelai’s ”Causality Weapon.” The commands of the Military Advisor Insect and the panic-induced actions of the Abyss Worm, step by step, led the Abyss Worm, this vessel, to the front of the Rules House.

”Don’t let the Night General be in charge of the vehicles anymore,” Moon Shadow thought to himself. He swung down his Shield Axe, delivering the final blow to the Abyss Worm.

The Abyssal Worm had high defensive power, but now in its gravely injured state, it couldn’t withstand the red thunder and met its death. In the end, it was just a number monster; no matter how high its health, if it could only take hits, death was its only outcome.

And the Military Advisor Insect of this battle zone was momentarily shocked. It didn’t understand why a perfectly fine Abyss Worm would be gravely injured? Why would it die like this?

No, to be accurate, why were those higher-level members of the Insect Race led here by this human?

The gaze of the Military Advisor Insect turned to Li Yelai. Could it be that this Spiritual Ability User was the humans’ Causality Weapon?

Humans are actually so powerful! He must not be left alive!

It let out a shrill insect cry, ”Kill this human for me! For the sake of the Mother Insect, I command the Forbidden Army to take action!”

Little did it know, this was also part of the You Must Meet Strong Enemies. While it doubted and was cautious of Li Yelai, it had already fallen into the trap.

Li Yelai, on the other hand, rose from a pool of blood. He had deactivated the immensely draining Divine General Dharma Image.

Blood soaked his armor, causing a foul smell to cling to him, but he couldn’t get excited.

It seemed his tactics were quite successful; the Vehicle Killer had achieved remarkable feats once again!

Hahaha, the Vehicle Killer, this Calamity, ultimately became Li Yelai’s powerful weapon!

However, at this moment, with the encounter of the Abyss Worm, the Insect Swarm noticed Li Yelai’s presence.

Following the command of the Military Advisor Insect, a massive figure emerged from the depths of the swarm.

That was a gigantic Insect Warrior of the Insect Race, roughly twenty meters in size, larger than a War Worm, larger even than Li Yelai’s Dharma Image!

Its form resembled a hybrid of a human and a dinosaur.

It had four sturdy arms and incredibly strong reverse-jointed lower limbs, along with a large tail that bore a dinosaur head.

Its body was covered in sharp and densely packed bone spurs and Bone Armor, like a Hunting Insect wearing thick armor.

With its arrival, the Human Army clearly felt oppressed, not just because of its size, but the intangible Spiritual Energy Pressure made the Spiritual Ability Users’ hearts sink.

Compared to the Abyss Worm, a creature whose value reached the Sixth Sense, this Insect Race member was even stronger and more elite!

Even Captain Level Moon Shadow showed a grave expression upon seeing this member of the Insect Race.

This was the only Insect Race unit that the officials had discovered that could directly threaten a Captain Level.

The Slaughter Insect Swarm had finally shown its trump card!

The strongest Insect Race unit currently, a Forbidden Army Insect!

”Alright, Night General, it seems you have finally drawn it out.” Moon Shadow said with a grave expression but laughed, ”Good. The target has appeared! Everyone, let the hunt begin!”

The next second, the Forbidden Army Insect charged towards Li Yelai, roughly a kilometer away, at a speed hard to catch with the naked eye, creating sonic booms that shattered all the remaining glass windows in the surrounding buildings! The sharp sound echoed across the entire Battlefield, and just a collision from the giant Insect Race member, over twenty meters in size and capable of moving at the speed of sound, was enough to instill fear in the Spiritual Ability Users.

Its mission was originally to ambush Human Captain Level powerhouses and then attempt to break through the human defenses, killing that Ben Lei.

But now, it had a more important task!

It would kill this Human Causality Weapon with the fastest and most brutal attack!

Just one move! One move was all it needed to kill Li Yelai! Before that Moon Shadow Captain could intervene, it would kill Li Yelai and quickly retreat from the Battlefield!

However, in the next instant, its charging steps suddenly halted, as an unexpected sensation of endless Fear made it subconsciously want to flee the Battlefield.

Because, hovering in the sky above where Li Yelai stood, a beautiful figure appeared. She had a pretty face and floating black hair, like an Immortal descending from the heavens into the Mortal World, yet it sent the Forbidden Army Insect into a state of terror.

That was... Doll!

She removed her Doll headgear and floated gently down from mid-air.

After landing next to Li Yelai, Doll couldn’t help but cover her nose, [Xiao Ye stinks!

Upon noticing Doll’s appearance, the Forbidden Army Insect decisively retreated, knowing full well it was no match for the two Captain Level powerhouses; Doll, although Fifth Sense, possessed destruction not inferior to Sixth Sense!

However, just as it attempted to retreat, a throwing spear pierced through three buildings in an instant, hitting directly on the Bone Armor of its flank. It was actually knocked to the ground.

”If you’re here, don’t leave.” A square-faced man appeared not far from it, dressed in Ming Guang Armor and wielding a Sky Halberd. Behind him were five red throwing spears, and a blood-red cape moved without wind behind him.

Champion Yang Chen!

Not just him, several Captains had already appeared, completely surrounding the Forbidden Army Insect!

This was a hunt all along, a hunting operation targeting the Forbidden Army Insect!
