Chapter 179: Chapter 179 Speed

Chu Yunsheng turned the cloak back and forth, trying to find a way to activate the cloak. He even tried to infuse Yuan Qi inside. However, nothing happened.

After a long sigh, he gave up trying. The cloak was not something he could understand at the moment. Maybe one day he would be able to find out the mechanism behind it and use it on his armour.

The hazy shimmer once again shed its light into the crater. Chu YunSheng has been staying in this place for three days now. Many insects were still running towards the huge pit that was left by the black sphere.

He didn’t know how long it would continue, but he couldn’t stay here for very long, because the insects around the golden-shelled insect had started to pile up. Soon, the swarm would notice the difference and surround him.

The golden-shelled insect was in the “sleep” mode because it had not received any command from Chu Yunsheng for a very long time. A few insects had noticed it and tried to move the “dying” golden-shelled insect away. So Chu Yunsheng had no choice but to use the type-two dark energy gun to kill them.

Fortunately, in the last three days, he had also noticed the insect’s running pattern. There was roughly a ten minutes gap between each wave of insects. He could use this ten minutes gap to run away.

As he was thinking, another wave of insects was running towards the huge pit near the crater.

He had to go now. He couldn’t wait until the sky went completely dark. The insects might be able to detect him in the dark. However, he would not be able to see anything. Therefore, if he ran into the swarm by mistake, it would be really over.

He quickly recited the incantation to seal the golden-shelled insect again, then he slowly moved towards the edge of the crater and began to crawl on the ground. At the same time, he was looking around trying to find anything that might give him some directional information so he could tell where his location was right now.

After the city disappeared, there was only a gigantic pit left on the ground. However, he had already lost the sense of direction when the golden-shelled insect dug into the ground three days ago.

The only thing he could use as reference was the giant tombs at the distance. However, Jin Ling city was originally surrounded by the tombs. There were tombs in all four directions!

Looking around once again, he still couldn’t find any sign of the Yangtze river. It meant that he was most likely not on the west side or the north side of the huge pit.

But whether it was the east or the south, it didn’t really matter at the moment. He just needed to get out of here as soon as possible.

There was Green Dragon mountain to the east of Jin Ling city. The vast mountain range was an ideal place for him to hide. There was also an abandoned small town to the south of Jin Ling city. There were many newly developed housing estates there. So it was also a good place for a short stay.

Two minutes quickly passed as he was thinking of a place to hide, but he didn’t stop crawling because the next crater was almost 100 meters away from him. Moreover, he still needed to get there, dig a hole and cover himself with soil in 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, the next wave of insects would arrive.

He was slowly approaching the area of slimy substances. Only in that way would he be able to find more reference objects to determine where he was.

The night was getting darker and the visibility started to reduce. It was blurry around him, so he couldn’t see anything at the distance, apart from the giant tombs that were spurting out fires from time to time.

When he reached the fifth crater, it had already taken him an hour.

He still couldn’t find anything that could be related to Green Dragon mountain. So he was most likely in the south.

With the help of the fire that was spurted out by the tombs, he could vaguely see some shadows that looked like some houses.

Time was pressing and he needed to get out of here before the night went completely dark. He needed to get to those houses and hide in there.

The reason why he needed to speed up was that he had noticed that the insects inside the swarm started to act strangely. As if the insects in the swarm were searching for something, many insects were moving slowly towards his direction.

It was no longer safe here. He needed to run! Run as fast as he could!

He was not sure if those shadows were really some houses or not, but there was no choice for him now.

As soon as the last bit of hazy shimmer disappeared from the sky, Chu Yunsheng jumped up and started to run.

At the same time, the insects that were searching towards him all looked up instantly. Then one by one they started to rush towards him and chase him.

Chu Yunsheng was not worried about the insects that were chasing him on the ground. He was more concerned about the green-shelled insect in the sky and the hidden monsters ahead of him.

He didn’t have the fire levitation ability like what Lan Chaoyin had. He only had two legs.

He had already stored the gun and changed to the sword, since it was much easier for him to use the sword to slice open the insects that were blocking his way.

His other hand was clenching a fire talisman tightly. Although it was a fire elemental offensive talisman and it was not effective on attacking red-shelled insects, he only had this type of offensive Talisman now.

He didn’t want to kill them, all he wanted was to create a path, so he could get into those housing estates and hide there like what he did in the horror city.

Suddenly a lightning bolt flashed through the dark sky. It was like a whip that cracked open the dark night.

Since the dark age began, apart from snow, there hasn’t been any rainy days, let alone thunder and lightning.

Chu Yunsheng was stunned for less than a second, then he was excited to see many buildings under the lightning flash. It was like a quiet ancient castle sitting in the darkness. It was “mysterious” and “creepy”.

But in the next second, his excitement vanished. Before the lightning bolt appeared, he was running in the dark. He had only relied on his sense of directions to guide him towards the housing estate. But when the lightning bolt appeared, he noticed that he was running towards a slightly different direction, and in front of him was another crowded swarm. There were even a few golden-shelled insects in there.

The lightning bolt only appeared for a split second, then disappeared. But Chu Yunsheng could still hear the buzzing sound made by the green-shelled insect when they were flying towards him.

The land was once again covered by the darkness. Apart from the insects’ screeching sound, Chu Yunsheng once again lost his vision.

But his body did not stop moving. He was still running! After slightly adjusting his running direction, he began to run towards the housing estate desperately.

He had to get through this. No matter what!

He quickly covered himself with the cloaked man’s cloak. Although he didn’t know how to use it, its powerful defence ability was not weaker than his armour. He could not even destroy it using this sword.

Bang…

Chu Yunsheng crashed into the swarm. With his fast speed and Yuan Qi energy shield, the first few insects were knocked away instantly, but he was still moving forward in the swarm.

Then the sword Qi was unleashed. Twelve swords Qi formed a spiral shape beam and quickly drilled a way out of the swarm.

The sword Qi was like a shooting star, destroying all the insects on its path.

But the insects were not afraid of death. Many of them tried to fill the gap, and some of them were even trying to catch Chu Yunsheng from behind!

More and more insects started to push in.

When Chu Yunsheng just broke the mandibles of a golden-shelled insect that had just crawled out of the ground, his upper body was instantly pinched by a red-shelled insect.

Although he quickly broke free from the red-shelled insect’s claw, a green-shelled insect’s attack had already arrived. He was knocked over and tumbled on the ground. Before he had a chance to get up, he was buried under many corrosive liquids…

But he did not choose to fight back. He could not kill all the insects. Only when he reached the town would he have a chance to run away.

He could not dodge insects’ attacks, because he could not see anything. He could only unleash sword Qi to make a way and use the light that was caused by the sword Qi to see the way in front of him.

He only hoped that the cloak, the armour and the energy shield would be able to withstand all the attacks!

As long as he was not trapped here by the insects, he believed that he would make it.

But soon, he was buried once again. This time, he was buried by many insects. One insect suddenly jumped onto him and the other insects closely followed. Red-shelled insects, golden-shelled insects, green-shelled insects, insects after insects until it became a hill of insects. And Chu Yunsheng was buried underneath it.

Sword Qi was unleashed underneath the hill of insects, a few of the insects at the bottom were knocked away, but compared to the hill of insects, it did not seem to have any effect at all. Chu Yunsheng roared loudly underneath the hill of insects, and his hand clenched the fire talisman tightly.

The talisman instantly glowed a dazzling red light, and it became a red beam and shot towards the sky…
