I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

Lu Jian couldn't help stepping on a few more feet.

"... let's go."

Faceless urged.

The worms in those eggs also turned into frozen noodles, without any vitality anymore.

Lu Jian picked up a bug popsicle and licked it.

The popsicle melted slightly, and the worm was released from the freezing. At first, it fell limply, but soon, it twitched and squirmed again, trying to get into Lu Trip's skin.

"It's still alive."

He hurriedly threw it on the ground and stepped on it several times.

"The taste is nothing special, it may need to be cooked."

Lu stumbled to a conclusion.

"..."

Seeing what Lu Jian did, Faceless didn't know what to say for a while.

There was a rancid smell in the passage, and many withered debris could be seen, which might be the corpses of bugs. Several people were walking on the road, and the surrounding space became narrower and narrower, and the conveyor belt suddenly stopped moving.

"Be careful."

Iron Fist gave a reminder, and the arm crystals spread rapidly, covering the wrist, ready to attack at any time.

At the end of the conveyor belt, they saw, the eggs appeared to have been transported from a room.

Iron Fist raised his hand, and with one punch, the surrounding walls were shattered, revealing a more secluded room in front of them.

"There's...a problem here!"

Echo was the first to notice that something was wrong. In his ears, some kind of buzzing sounded. It wasn't until something came to him that Echo realized that it was the sound of insects flapping their wings.

buzzing-

A sharp bone spur pierced his chest directly, almost without any delay, and more bone spurs flew out from the hole. The young man's flesh and blood were like paper in front of those spikes. It's just an injury, but the whole body turns into blood and splashes.

The flash was hard to escape, and he just had time for his eyes to flicker, lighting up the room for a moment, and then it was gone.

A spike was inserted between his crystal-like eyes, and his skull was completely lifted.

Blood splattered on Lu's face, and his eyes caught the scene inside the house lit up by a flash for a moment.

It was a more spacious space. In the space, countless pitch-black bugs were about to move. They had sharp black thorns on their bodies, and it seemed that they could be ejected as weapons in some way.

These bugs occupy almost half of the space, but this is not the most noteworthy.

The most eye-catching thing is the behemoth in the middle of these bugs.

That huge, wasp-like, and spider-like monster was being firmly restrained in a huge mechanical structure. Its eight legs were tied with chains, and its body was nailed with steel nails. It was made of rock and steel. The cage trapped it on the ground, and under the monster's body was a huge, white, constantly wriggling egg sac. The end of the egg sac was constantly producing eggs, which fell onto the conveyor belt and were transported. to other places.

And more insect eggs have hatched, and this has formed this vast sea of ​​insects.

Lu Jian saw that there was an irregular hole directly above the space, as if there was light in it, countless bugs came in and out of the hole, and climbed on the ceiling.

At the same time, Lu Jian's [True Vision] also saw that under the huge insect queen, there was a coffin-like creature crawling on it, as if guarding something.

"Faceless."

Iron Fist screamed, and immediately, the crystals on Faceless's face exploded, and he roared as if he had exhausted all his strength in his life.

Frost stretched out from under his feet, completely freezing the bugs in the hole.

The water vapor in their bodies froze into ice crystals in an instant, and due to the expansion of the ice, they bulged and burst, like flowers blooming all over the ground.

This freezing cold wave froze everything, the small half of the space and the bugs in it were frozen, and even the traces of frost spread to the side of the queen.

Only, it failed to move on.

But for Tekken, this has bought enough time.

His right hand was completely crystallized, like a knight in jeweled armor, waving his arm that was several times thicker than before, and smashed towards the ground covered in ice crystals.

boom -

There was an explosion.

Lu Jian finally knew where the explosion he heard first came from.

The crystalline arm of Iron Fist exploded the moment it hit the ground, and the thick body was torn apart, turning into sharp fragments that splashed. These fragments cut the insects like a scorching blade cut through solidified butter. Many insects didn't even notice it. All of this continued to move forward, but the legs and feet moved, and the body did not have time to keep up, and they separated in the air.

And Iron Fist's hand was exposed at this time, and was quickly covered by crystals, ready to shoot again.

Compared with the primitive hand-to-hand combat method of the giant wrist, the ability of the iron fist is obviously better. Moreover, Lu Jian saw that he did not have any magical power, but simply used skills to explode the crystals produced on his arm in a special way Just open.

In this world, there are also ability users of different levels.

Just when Iron Fist was about to think of a way to strike again, the swarm suddenly fell silent.

The surviving insects retreated and spread out as if they were afraid of something, making way for them.

"what's the situation?"

Lu Bing didn't understand.

He saw a figure standing between the countless squirming eggs that were about to hatch, and those hideous and terrifying pitch-black worms.

It was the remains of the white-clothed black-haired saint.

In the filthy and filthy world, its white clothes are better than snow, and its slender bare feet step on the corpses of those profane and crazy insects, but it is not stained with any dirt.

It looked this way with dark eyes and said nothing, as if waiting for them to walk in.

"I thought, is it letting us in?"

Lu Juan looked at the exhausted Faceless and the Iron Fist who was ready to explode the crystals in his hand at any time.

"You saw the remains of the saint?"

Iron Fist asked, he looked at the swarm blankly, but couldn't see anything.

"Well, it's standing in the middle of the swarm."

Lu Bian nodded.

"Could it be a trap?"

Shia seemed to be rolling a ball in her hand, and Void was holding an invisible mass.

"You can try."

Lu Jian felt that if the saint's remains wanted to harm him, he would have done it long ago, and there was no need to wait now.

Since it appeared here, it must have something to do with him.

He clenched the crowbar tightly, and [last words] appeared in the other hand, ready to speak to the other party at any time.

When Lu Jian came to the opposite side of the saint's remains, he suddenly discovered something.

The eyes of the saint's remains are inexplicably similar to the worm eyes of the worm queen.

The next moment, the worm queen moved her body slowly, moving the huge abdomen full of worm eggs over.

Lu Jian looked at the worm queen and at the remains of the saint.

Look at the belly again.

"???"

Could it be... is this a courtship?

===190.The Chosen Guy===

Lu Jian has always felt that people can't, at least they shouldn't.

Although he did not rule out that there are people in this world who are gifted and have unique preferences, but looking at the eight shiny black legs, the terrifying mouthparts, the slightly opened and closed end of the abdomen, and the position where the tentacles squirm , Lu Jian felt that he should not belong to those people.

Happiness is theirs, and Lu Jian has nothing.

Seeing that Lu Lian was unmoved, the remains of the saint took a step closer.

Although she has fair skin, she looks pretty.

But Lu Jian is not that kind of person.

"Wait a minute, is that what Shia meant when she said that I was chosen by the gods?"

Lu Jian didn't think about it.

He felt that this was not something to brag about.

Looking at it now, this guy had been circling around him before, could it be that it was to guide him here to meet his own body?

This is not the remains of a saint, but the illusion implanted in Lu Jian's head by this big bug!

It will screen everyone in the area, and then find the right person, inject this illusion into his brain, lure him here, and finally become his own captive, providing himself with the necessary items.

Reproduction, reproduction, this is the only meaning of life.

Even, Lu Jian felt that he had thought of something even more frightening.

This bug may not simply be imprisoned here by humans.

If it possesses such power, then who can guarantee that the humans living in this city see real humans again?

Perhaps, rather than the humans who built the city imprisoning the bugs here, it is more likely that some people imprisoned the bugs here before humans settled nearby.

So......

Lu Jian thought of more.

Are the humans who lived in this city still humans?

They were confused by the phantom of the queen, and stayed here to live, but were the companions they lived with day and night really human beings?

Whenever night fell, when these human beings thrived, would those wriggling insects be with them?

Are the annual grand ceremonies and sacrificial acts intended to select the best humans for the queen to breed?

Is the legend that there is a treasure here also the news that these bugs deliberately released, attracting wilderness hunters to die here?
