Chapter 73 The Insect Tide Recedes

In the eastern highlands, the crazy and fierce ghost hands were unable to stop the advance of the huge insect tide. The last inch of the narrow road was lost, and the insect tide surged to the high ground like a dam. Even the powerful ghost hands could only fight hard and hopelessly kill the surrounding insects.

Arnold had already entered a giant state at this time and started a hand-to-hand combat with the rushing insects. Although the giant's skin and muscles were extremely tough, he could not withstand the snatch and bite of the insects after fighting for a long time, and soon became scarred. These fresh wounds and blood further stimulated the ferocity of the insects, making them even more crazy.

Eric had climbed to the top of the core of the tower. The base of the entire turret had been flooded with insects. The steel shell was covered with scratches left by insects, and the rumbling black smoke also emerged from all over the turret. With a burst of sparks of failure, the fierce turret went on strike completely. Eric could only pick up his self-defense shotgun, shoot with curses, and waited for the arrival of death in despair.

Although Ling tightly protected El behind her, she had noticed that the energy of the Holy Shield Ring quickly dropped to freezing point and began to emit a red light of warning. Her whole body was frightened by the bugs that were attacking the shield crazyly, and her face turned pale. She could even clearly see the insects' hideous mouthparts.

Not long after, as Ling's almost stagnant breathing, the shield quietly shattered, and the insects roared at the two girls who had no fight.

Arnold's eyes were red, and he roared wildly and wanted to pounce on him to save the person, but was blocked by a huge tide of insects, and he could only watch Ling and Al be submerged.

Just as all hopes disappeared, the insect mother died, and the prompt sound of completing the task ahead of time rang in my mind without warning, just like the first ray of light that broke through the night at dawn.

The next moment, the swarm of insects that were originally in a uniform pace and attacked frantically suddenly boiled. I don’t know which insect made the first scream. The noise that teared the eardrums across the sky. The whole swarm was completely out of control, and began to attack their companions around them indiscriminately like the most primitive beasts. For a moment, the entire eastern highland became the slaughterhouse of the swarm.

Seeing the engineers and insects bit each other, the tank insects irritably trampled their companions to death, and the corrosive insects were also melting other insects into liquid on a large scale. Coupled with the sound of the cubes in their minds, the members of the Dawn Team finally knew that Luo You had succeeded! They had escaped this hell!

Arnold really wanted to cheer loudly at this moment. They had already stepped into the gate of hell with half of their feet, but they escaped from the sky in the last second. The feeling of suddenly relaxing after tightening their heartstrings was even more exciting than drugs, and they almost fainted!

However, everyone still retained the most basic rationality, because the crisis has not been resolved at this time. The death of the insect mother only means that the insect swarm is out of control, and does not mean that they have a gold medal for avoiding death, because the insects may still target them!

Arnold tore a bloody path in the out-of-control swarm and found Ling and Al. The two girls were lucky and did not suffer much damage. Arnold carried them directly, and then shouted to Eric at the top of the tower's core: "Old man! Run away quickly!"

"Shut up! Big man! You must respect the elderly!" Although Eric cursed, the excitement in his eyes was unbearable. He used a shotgun to open a small piece of empty space, put away the core of the strike tower, followed Arnold honestly, and met with the ghost hand not far away.

The Ghost Hand's efforts in this battle were no less than Luo You. In a sense, it was probably even more tragic than Luo You. He has never stopped swinging his knife in the past few hours and has been blocking the swarm like a meat grinder. He probably cut down no less than ten thousand insects. His entire skin was already wrapped in thick worm blood and flesh, and he could hardly see what he was like. His arms were also trembling because of fatigue, but the crazy fighting spirit in his eyes remained unabated.

However, Ghost Hands are not the kind of madman who is willing to die for the battle. Seeing that the mission has been completed, it is meaningless to fight again. He took the lead and cut out a bloody path in the swarm and guided everyone down the eastern highlands.

The process went very smoothly. The killing swarms of insects looked like paper under the strong breakthrough of Ghost Hand. In less than five minutes, the dawn team rushed out of the high ground under the leadership of Ghost Hand and stayed away from the swarm.

After retreating to the safe area, everyone unconsciously looked back at the eastern highlands where the insect tide was boiling. Every inch of land there was occupied by insects, like a live insect-eating hell. From time to time, the artillery shells of the rebel artillery troops fell on the mountains, smashing the cliffs of the highlands to collapse. At this moment, no one dared to imagine that they had been holding on for several hours under such a harsh situation!

The Ghost Hand withdrew from the Berserker form, and hot steam emerged from all over his body. The attached insects and minced meat was almost roasted. He glanced at the horizon that was connected to the sky. The rebel artillery troops were more than ten kilometers away from them. It would not take much time to rush over and eliminate them. However, this army was not in the scope of mission, and there was no reward for eliminating them. In addition, the Ghost Hand and Lu Ren did not have much deep feelings, so he did not choose to do such a thankless thing.

After retreating, everyone approached the entrance of the insect hole in an orderly manner, preparing to find Luoyou, but the tunnel of the insect hole was too complicated and it might not be possible to come out as soon as they entered, so they only dared to wait outside.

"Is that guy okay?" Eric asked with some concern.

Although Arnold is very confident in Luo You, killing insect mother is at least a level A-level difficulty task, level A! He has no room for imagination in this difficulty, and it is impossible to say that he is not worried about Luo You.

"The Lord is above... May him be safe..." Al held his hands in front of his chest and prayed softly for Loyou.

Just as everyone was waiting restlessly, as Ling cheered, they suddenly saw a naked figure slowly walking out of the acupoint.

What a perfect body it was, its fair and snow-like skin exuded a jade-like brilliance in the sun, and its graceful lines and beautiful collarbone revealed an amazing curve, like a magical sculpture, and a cheetah-like sense of power. On that fascinating face, its delicate facial features are stunning, and its red eyes that are deeper than the night sky are like the treasures of gods.

In this desolate wilderness, the appearance of this figure is like the bright moon and stars illuminating the night sky, making everything around it pale.

When he walked towards the Dawn Team, everyone unconsciously held their breath. If it weren't for the iconic red eyes, no one would have recognized that this was Luo You. After all, this young man was usually wrapped in bandages and cloaks on his face. Even Arnold, who knew Luo You at the earliest, had never seen his true face.

Arnold rubbed his eyes hard, and after several times, he said in surprise: "My goodness, I know why you always have to cover yourself with something."

Eric and Al were also surprised. Even the ghost hands that had always been very cold couldn't help but look at them a few more times. The most interesting thing was Ling. The girl even hid behind Arnold with a red face, showing her only half of her little head and looked at Luo You shyly, just like a little girl who met a prince, and her heart was ramming.
