The artist pulls out a weeping willow tree

Chapter 72: Good Luck, Fear, and Auspiciousness

The four insects remaining on the glacier were blown to pieces, and some even collided with each other.

The sudden disappearance of their prey made the bugs anxious.

First, the sharp black spots on their white compound eyes suddenly shrank, and then the blood-like veins on the insect flesh twitched and twisted noticeably, and the mucus on the surface of the body increased. As the four insects moved, the mucus dripped, corroding the pure white snow layer into shallow charred pits...

After a while, the bugs seemed to have finally confirmed some information, and they all turned around and quickly crawled forward in the direction where Jixiang fell...

Compared to the rapid positioning and turning of the bugs, the military requires rigorous data analysis and decisive and careful decisions and judgments...

"Major Zheng, the first mecha squadron is expected to reach the target in three minutes."

On the computer screen was a middle-aged man in a white military uniform, and judging by his rank, he was a lieutenant general.

"Received! Lieutenant General Han!" Major Zheng said seriously.

"Major Zheng!" The information officer frowned as he looked at the green dot that suddenly stopped and the insects that gradually gathered on the screen, and said urgently: "The situation has changed!"

Upon hearing this, Major Zheng immediately looked at the monitoring screen and saw the red dots of insects surrounding the green dots. He couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, these insects..."

"What's going on!?" Lieutenant General Han asked in a deep voice.

Before the two could answer, the monitoring screen moved again, the red dots became chaotic, the green dot suddenly rose and then suddenly threw itself to the bottom of the glacier cliff on the other side.

The hearts of the people watching the scene began to rise and fall. Major Zheng couldn't help but praise in his heart, "Good job!" The chance of survival increased again!

"Lieutenant General Han, the target location has been changed!" Major Zheng said decisively as he watched the red dots representing the bugs running towards the green dots again.

Lieutenant General Han also received the latest news from his adjutant. After the two confirmed with each other, they hung up the phone.

"Pass the order down, the target location has been changed, let the rescue mecha team prepare immediately and land in two minutes!" Major Zheng said quickly.

"Yes! Major!" the information officer replied.

Unfortunately, Jixiang was unable to catch up with the rescue mecha and landed before them.

A giant white bird slowly appeared in Jixiang's hand, with thick and white feathers. Jixiang held the feathers tightly in his hand and sank his body into the gentle and broad back of the giant bird little by little.

Jixiang eased the discomfort in his body, stood up and sat up straight. The giant bird circled low in the sky, then slowly landed and disappeared...

Jixiang rubbed his aching forehead. He had consumed too much mental energy today, and his nerves were tense most of the time.

Compared to plant creations, animal creations consume the most energy, because they need to be endowed with spirits, and Jixiang is still in the exploratory stage in terms of creating animals. This is also the reason why Jixiang cannot create large animals to take her away, as the energy consumption is too high and it cannot be sustained for too long.

This bird was a pleasant surprise, but it only lasted for a dozen seconds.

The sun was shifting and there was no time to think about it anymore. Jixiang staggered to his feet, looked at the only exit squeezed by several glaciers in front of him, and ran towards it decisively.

The only thing she could do now was to escape, leave the glacier area, and run to the outer edge of the glacier where she would have a greater chance of encountering the army.

Her underage flesh and blood body was no match for the Zerg that needed mechas to fight against, and she didn't have the courage to test her luck with her life.

Jixiang listened to the sound of ice fragments and gravel falling behind him due to the destruction of insects, and rushed forward without looking back.

Jixiang finally broke out of the mountain crack and gasped for breath. There was no glacier in front of him. This should be the outer periphery...

Then, without waiting for Jixiang, he once again extended his mental power to search for the nearest human presence.

I saw a small black animal lying right in front of me, its belly was broken open, but there was no sign of life.

Jixiang couldn't help but shrink his pupils as he looked at this familiar little animal, which was probably suffering from prenatal depression.

There was no internal organs or blood flowing out of the little animal's broken stomach, but there were insects slightly smaller than the little animal.

The bug was gnawing at half of a human foot. On the white snow, there was only the corpse and the bug. No blood was dripping, and there was no flesh or blood residue.

Jixiang watched helplessly as the insect quickly gnawed away the half of the human foot. Only occasionally could the sound of sharp teeth chewing through human bones be heard. In the end, only a human-shaped indentation on the snow was left, without even a piece of silk fabric...

Jixiang was so stimulated that he didn't even have the desire or strength to retch. The scene of the gnawing was looping endlessly in his mind...

Then, the insect looked as if it had just discovered something auspicious, and the sharp black spots in its white compound eyes moved.

The insect body suddenly swelled after absorbing energy for the first time. The flesh that looked like rotten meat expanded like air. The complex veins on the flesh that looked like blood vessels and tendons glowed with an ominous blood-red light, as if the skin was stretched to the extreme. Something was surging and swelled under the nearly transparent insect skin, and the insect armor and bones made a "creaking" and "creaking" sound...

Jixiang looked at the insect that was staring at her all the time, and subconsciously covered her eyes with her mental power. Then she saw the flesh and blood energy and mental power that did not belong to the insect itself, constantly rushing and surging along the blood-colored veins.

If she guessed correctly, this was actually the energy that the insects had just devoured and belonged to humans... So she was so popular with the insects, probably because the energy she could provide was sufficient...

This digestion and growth process actually did not last very long. At least before Jixiang ran far, the insect suddenly grew from the size of an ordinary cat to the size of an elephant.

The four bugs that were left behind by Jixiang also ran over, and now there were five bugs.

However, Jixiang's physical and mental strength were consumed too much, and his speed decreased. What's more, he was on flat ground. The insect was bulky, but it could still cover a long distance by just moving it around.

Jixiang felt the stench in the air gradually getting thicker. The bugs were getting closer to Jixiang...

It would be better to roll all the way down the mountain, Jixiang's face is full of bad luck.

The advantage of being in imminent danger is that Jixiang naturally no longer thinks about the horrific scene of insects eating people, but Jixiang is also more afraid. She doesn't want to be eaten!

Jixiang narrowly avoided a bug's foot attack and suddenly exerted force to leap forward. The villain in his heart couldn't help but continue screaming wildly.

She really has a grudge against bugs! Trash bugs, eat the jujube pill!

Looking at the human being that they could not catch, several insects seemed to become anxious, and the air became inexplicably tense.

Jixiang looked back as if he understood something.

The originally white compound eyes of these insects gradually showed blood-red and ferocious veins, as if something had invaded her mind. These were Jixiang's last thoughts before he fell into a coma...
