Chapter 402 Ten Thousand Gu Devour Their Master! The Fifth Well Cuts Off Its Supply, My Name Is Engr
"Please confirm the name of the person who will wake you up: Chen Yifan."
The echoes from the skull of the East China Sea dragon bone had not yet dissipated.
Chen Yifan's palms were burning hot.
The four source cores vibrated together in the ring space, causing the wound on his right arm to reopen in several places.
Bai Zhi's side immediately erupted in chaos.
"Chen Yifan, don't confirm!"
"That's a reconnection of permissions to the old well; the consequences are unknown!"
Shenhou's voice followed closely behind.
"Of course you shouldn't click 'OK' on this kind of pop-up!"
"Does clicking this button trigger a recharge interface?"
Chen Yifan ignored them.
He stared at the grayish-white old patterns deep inside the dragon bone skull, his fingertips pressing on the source core.
"Cancel."
The old voice paused for half a second.
Then it rang again.
"Permission confirmation failed."
"The reconnection of the twelve well masters has been delayed."
"The verification process will proceed to the next well."
"Skeleton-05 abnormal activation".
Bai Zhi's keyboard clicks suddenly became a chaotic mess.
"The fifth one is amazing!"
Chen Yifan looked up.
"Location."
"The Southern Xinjiang Fissure Defense Line"
Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then spoke even faster.
"That area used to be a no-go zone for insect infestations, but it was later sealed off by Wuhan University and the military."
"The skeleton-05 is highly integrated with the earth veins, and the complete altar cannot be scanned."
Shenhou interrupted.
Speak like a human.
Bai Zhi retorted directly.
In layman's terms, that place is probably teeming with bugs!
Shenhou remained silent for two seconds.
"Chen Yifan, how about you consider switching to a different forum?"
Chen Yifan pressed the fourth source core into the ring space, pressed his right hand on the dragon bone flagpole, and rushed his body upward out of the trench.
"It even turned on its lights to welcome us."
"If I don't go, it would seem like Donghai suffered for nothing."
Bai Zhi quickly added a sentence.
"Don't land directly in the center!"
"The rift space in southern Xinjiang is stable, but the insect hive will spread along the energy traces."
"Once you use a large-scale psionic energy, they will crawl outwards following your energy fluctuations."
Chen Yifan surfaced on the sea.
A rift in the void had already opened up in front of him.
"Know."
Shenhou shouted in the main channel.
"Are insects afraid of fire? Should I send you a lighter?"
The sound of the rat drifted from beside the base of the array.
"If you send it now, it'll probably only be ashes."
Shenhou cursed.
"Can you please stop sabotaging me?"
"I'm just concerned about my teammates."
Before stepping into the crevice, Chen Yifan replied.
"Save your energy to criticize the Holy Lord."
"It's more disgusting than insects."
Shenhou immediately perked up.
"I like hearing that."
The void closed up.
Upon landing, the moisture first enters the nasal cavity.
Chen Yifan was standing on a section of broken wall.
Half of an old battle flag still hangs on the wall. The flag cloth has been torn by insect eggs, and grayish-white eggshells are squeezed into the seams of the cloth, trembling slightly.
A fissure runs across the mountainside in the distance.
Black vines hang down.
Tiny buds bulged inside the vines.
The sound of gnawing came from the fog.
One layer after another.
After listening for two breaths, the hairs on Chen Yifan's arms stood on end.
"White Gardenia".
"I am here."
"There are an excessive number of bugs here."
Bai Zhi remained silent for half a second.
"I saw it."
"Don't step on the eggs."
Chen Yifan lowered his head.
Inside the crack in the broken wall, a row of insect eggs had already split open.
Tiny black insects poked their heads out and crawled toward the sole of his shoe.
Chen Yifan lifted his foot and kicked the brick under his feet away.
The wall bricks were smashed into the black vines more than ten meters away.
The next second, countless small bumps appeared on the surface of the black vine.
Before the brick even hit the ground, it was gnawed into powder.
Shenhou just happened to switch to the channel.
"Holy crap."
"This thing has quite an appetite."
Chen Yifan flexed his finger bones.
"Don't let them develop cracks."
Bai Zhi immediately responded.
"There are three old isolation arrays on the outer layer of the defense line. I can remotely activate two of them."
"The third one is broken."
"If you are forced out of your defensive line by the insect swarm, the rear of southern Xinjiang will be devoured."
Chen Yifan looked into the depths of the crack.
"Then I won't refund it."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The gnawing sounds below the crack stopped for a moment.
Then, the entire broken wall began to shake.
The black mist was pushed aside.
A massive figure rose from the crevice.
The upper body is in the shape of a human.
Old armor plates were embedded in his chest, his shoulder bones were turned outward, and his arms were deformed from being too thick.
Its lower body is an insect nest.
The abdomen and back are covered with countless wormholes, and black worms go in and out, each with dark green stripes on its back.
It looked up and squeezed out two words.
"Guarding...the nest..."
Bai Zhi immediately provided the identification.
"Gu Martial King".
"Its body is pieced together from the outer venom nest, and the skeleton-05 source core should be in the core of the main nest."
Shenhou clicked his tongue.
"This name doesn't sound clean."
King Gu Wu made a move.
It threw a punch.
Before the fist even arrived, the swarm of insects on the fist exploded and clung to Chen Yifan in large numbers.
Chen Yifan dodged the swarm of insects by sidestepping, and his right fist struck Gu Wuwang's shoulder.
click!
The shoulder bone was shattered.
That half of his body collapsed.
But the broken bones didn't stop after they hit the ground.
Every bone fragment was cracked into insect eggs.
The insect eggs burst open, and more tiny insects crawled out.
They surged outwards along the ground towards the broken wall.
Bai Zhi's voice immediately rose in pitch.
"Don't break it!"
"It reproduces by breaking bones!"
Chen Yifan stepped down.
The qi and blood surged outwards from the ground, pushing the first wave of insects that were crawling outwards back to the edge of the crack.
The collapsed shoulder of King Gu Wu rose again.
The black insects bit each other, piecing together a new arm for it.
This arm is thicker than before.
Shenhou felt a chill run down his spine.
"Break and then upgrade?"
"This is utterly shameless!"
Chen Yifan shook off the insect corpses clinging to his fist.
The moment the insect corpse left my hand, it split into three smaller insects.
He stomped it out.
"really."
Gu Wu Wang unleashed his second punch.
Chen Yifan did not take the punch head-on. Instead, he circled around to the side of the creature, following the wind from the punch, and delivered an elbow strike to its ribs.
This time, he held back.
The ribs weren't broken.
But the insect nest trembled.
The swarm of insects inside was thrown into chaos for a moment.
Chen Yifan stopped.
Bai Zhi also noticed the change.
"That worked!"
"You've hit the Zerg hive's resonance point!"
King Gu did not give him another chance to try.
Its chest cavity was wide open.
A swarm of black insects shot out, splitting into more than a dozen strands in mid-air, circling around Chen Yifan's back and feet.
Chen Yifan took three steps back and stepped onto the edge of the broken wall.
The area behind that is the southern Xinjiang border.
No further refunds possible.
He simply stopped.
Step on the ground with your right foot.
thump.
The swarm's flight rhythm was disrupted.
Chen Yifan stepped on it again.
thump.
The second swarm of insects collided directly with the first, exploding into a cloud of black mist in the air.
The Gu King roared, and the insect nests in his abdomen opened completely.
More insects emerged.
"Chen Yifan!"
Bai Zhi shouted urgently.
"The numbers are up!"
"Don't let them touch your skin, those bugs will burrow into your bones!"
Chen Yifan did not reply.
He closed his eyes and listened to the sound of flapping wings.
The insect swarm remains calm.
The smallest insect at the bottom listens to the largest insect.
The large insect listens to the nest hole.
Nest Hole listens to the three main veins in King Wu's abdomen.
Wang Ling is there.
King Gu Wu charged again.
A punch carrying ten thousand poisonous creatures slammed into Chen Yifan's chest.
Chen Yifan opened his eyes.
No refund.
Step forward half an inch with your left foot.
Lower your right shoulder.
A short punch landed on Gu Wu Wang's wrist.
It's not an interruption.
It's an earthquake.
The rhythm of the insect nests on Gu Wuwang's entire arm was disrupted.
With his second punch, Chen Yifan landed on its elbow.
The third punch was aimed at its abdomen, near its main nest.
All three punches are short.
Both are heavy.
The sounds of the insect swarm were chaotic.
All that could be heard from Bai Zhi's side was the frantic clicking of her keyboard.
"right!"
"This is the frequency!"
"Move half a foot to the left again!"
Chen Yifan stepped to the side, avoiding the half-mouth of the insect that the Gu Wu King was biting at.
One foot stepped on the edge of the crack.
The shockwave flowed down along the earth's veins.
The swarm of insects in the crevice all stopped.
The main nest on the abdomen of King Gu Wu suddenly swelled up.
It noticed.
Suddenly, all the insects turned around and pounced on Chen Yifan.
Shenhou roared in the channel.
"They're here!"
"That thing's getting impatient!"
Chen Yifan raised his right hand, and the purple-gold ring on his finger gleamed slightly.
The theft of all things is activated.
Target locked.
King Gu's authority to command the insect swarm.
The next moment, Chen Yifan's right arm was bitten open by the swarm of insects.
Tiny worms burrowed into the wound and crawled upwards along the blood.
Bai Zhi's voice changed.
"disconnect!"
"They're in your blood!"
Chen Yifan clenched his teeth and pressed his left hand against his right arm.
The qi and blood did not circulate outwards, but only vibrated around under the skin and flesh.
The insect that crawled in was shattered in half.
The rest are still biting.
An angry roar came from the chest of the Gu King.
It reached out and pressed its hand against the main nest on its abdomen.
late.
The ring turned red from the heat.
Chen Yifan grasped with all five fingers.
"steal."
hum!
The chirping of insects suddenly stopped.
King Gu froze completely.
The next second, countless black insects turned around simultaneously from the wormhole behind it.
First, they bite the nest wall.
Then bite the skeleton again.
Finally, it bit into the chest cavity of the Gu King.
Gu Wu Wang looked down at his body, which had been torn apart by the swarm of insects, and made intermittent sounds.
"The king...orders..."
Chen Yifan's right arm was covered in blood and flesh, but he did not let go.
The insect horde retaliated even more fiercely.
Gu Wu Wang's chest was gnawed through.
The dark green source core was revealed.
Bai Zhi immediately reminded him.
"The source core has appeared!"
"But the swarm is still rampaging, get it and retreat!"
Chen Yifan rushed forward.
The swarm of insects has filled the chest cavity of the Gu King.
He reached one hand into the sea of insects.
The back of my hand, wrist, and between my fingers were instantly bitten and bled profusely.
The surviving arm of the Gu King reached for his head.
Chen Yifan raised his knee and crushed the joint of that arm, then pressed his right hand inward forcefully.
The source nucleus pulsates deep within the insect swarm.
irritable.
More volatile than the previous four.
As soon as he touched it, Chen Yifan felt a tightness in his chest.
This thing wants to be poured back in.
He didn't give it a chance.
The ring space opens.
The purple-gold light pressed down.
Chen Yifan gripped the source core and pulled it outwards.
King Gu's entire chest cavity collapsed.
The swarm of insects is completely out of control.
Countless insects burst out of its body and swarmed towards Chen Yifan.
"Chen Yifan!"
Bai Zhi's voice cracked as she shouted.
Chen Yifan gripped the Fifth Source Core and stomped his right foot on the ground.
The Qi and blood circulated throughout the body.
There is no psionic power.
no skills.
Pure shockwave burst forth from the bones.
The insects clinging to his body exploded into ashes layer by layer.
The swarm of insects at the edge of the crack was also shaken back to the main nest.
The body of the Gu King was devoured by the myriad Gu, leaving only a rotten old suit of armor.
The old armor fell to the ground, revealing a line of small characters.
[The Well of Ten Thousand Gu seals the earth's veins, but not people.]
Chen Yifan picked up the old nail clipper.
The back of my hand was still bleeding.
Finally, a notification popped up on Bai Zhi's end.
[Power supply interrupted for frame-05.]
Five of the twelve main altars have been destroyed.
The main energy supply efficiency has dropped to 55%.
A shout rang out in the Sky Channel.
The loudest curses came from Shenhou's side.
"The fifth one!"
"Headless dog, your insect king has been eaten by insects!"
But this time, the Holy Lord was not disturbed by his scolding.
Chewing sounds came from outside the crack.
In the scene Bai Zhi cuts to, three groups of crippled heretics of the Holy Cult are being dragged toward the Holy Lord by dark green threads.
The Holy Lord opened a black hole-like opening at the severed neck, swallowing the remains of those bodies piece by piece.
The Rabbit immediately gave the order.
"No one, not even the remains of heretics, may remain at the edge of the rift!"
"Delay the destruction, then burn them all at once!"
Upon seeing that scene, Shenhou immediately cursed.
"Does this headless dog even eat leftovers?"
Yin Hu punched away the attacker, then turned around and roared.
"Send the bodies to the rear!"
Ugly Ox carried the two remains of the heretics and smashed them directly into the incineration array behind him.
Wu Ma, dragging his injured leg, kicked a still twitching Holy Church modified body into the formation.
The dark green thread at the severed neck of the Holy Lord had become an extra ring.
Its remnant soul's outline was much clearer than before.
As Chen Yifan watched the screen, the Fifth Source Core in his hand suddenly trembled violently.
The first four source cores also jumped.
The five vibrations combined almost burst open the ring space.
Bai Zhi urgently sent a message.
"Chen Yifan, the source core energy is unstable!"
"They're pulling at each other, and it might backfire on you!"
Chen Yifan used the Purple Gold Pagoda to suppress the fluctuations in his sea of consciousness and looked down at his palm.
None of the five source cores pointed to the Holy Lord.
They were still pointing at him.
That feeling of reconnecting old well permissions is back.
A new alarm suddenly sounded from Bai Zhi's side.
"Skeleton-06 Update!"
"Polar ice caps."
Chen Yifan raised his hand and wiped the blood off his right arm.
"What is the guardian of the altar?"
Bai Zhi paused for two seconds.
Those two seconds were more unbearable than any alarm had sounded earlier.
"There is no guardian of the altar."
Shenhou interrupted.
"What are you afraid of if there's no one to guard the altar?"
Bai Zhi's voice was very low.
"A seal stele from the previous era has appeared there."
"The resonance of the five source cores all points to that monument."
Chen Yifan's ring suddenly became hot.
He looked up.
What is written on the monument?
The sound of equipment calibration came from Bai Zhi's side.
Then, she spoke slowly and deliberately.
"I don't recognize that script."
"Translating in progress."
The communication suddenly dropped for half a second.
When she recovered, Bai Zhi's voice was noticeably tense.
"Chen Yifan".
"Your name is engraved on the monument."
