Chapter 153 (1/2)
There were too many insects at the front of the car. Chu YunSheng could not get through the swarm at all.
He quickly stored the explosives inside the storage talisman, activated his armour, and then jumped on the top of one insect’s back and leapt onto the roof of a building nearby.
Even though he did not think that he could survive, the survival instinct still made him prepare everything he could to make it possible.
He still had one last resort.
A golden-sh.e.l.led insect.
His plan was to hollow out a small area on the golden-sh.e.l.led insect’s back, and hide inside its back while riding it all the way to the other side of the river.
The golden-sh.e.l.led Insect’s body was huge. Just its head alone, it was already as big as a bus, and its main body was two times bigger than its head!
The sh.e.l.ls on its body were divided into three sections. There were gaps between each section. The larva-like long transparent worms, which he had seen before, often stayed in those gaps.
However, the gaps were too narrow for Chu Yunsheng. So Chu Yunsheng had to make it wider and deeper. But he could not remove too much. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to live long.
On the third floor of the building, Chu Yunsheng summoned the golden-sh.e.l.led insect that he had sealed for a long time.
When it was summoned, it instantly took up the entire s.p.a.ce on the third floor. It even broke the third floor’s ceiling and walls.
Chu Yunsheng instantly felt a bizarre spiritual connection between him and the golden sh.e.l.led-insect.
This was probably Feng Yin Ling, Seal Mark or Seal Token, that the book was talking about!
Then a strange thing happened. Just when the spiritual connection between him and the monster was established, he instantly felt that there was a mysterious force calling the golden-sh.e.l.led insect, making it move instinctively towards the city centre.
Chu Yunsheng was shocked. He had experiences in sealing monsters and summoning monsters before, but he had never encountered the same situation like this before.
However, compared to the seal mark, this mysterious force was very weak. As soon as he realised what it did, he immediately infused Yuan Qi into the seal mark to enhance the control of the golden-sh.e.l.led insect.
The gaps between the sh.e.l.ls were closed most of the time. They would be opened only when the golden-sh.e.l.led insects released the larva-like long transparent worms.
It meant that Chu Yunsheng still had to make a slight adjustment, so he would be able to see the road ahead while riding the golden-sh.e.l.led insect.
Time was pressing, all Chu Yunsheng could think of was to make the s.p.a.ce as quick as possible, so his method was very rough.
Luckily, the golden-sh.e.l.led insect was restrained by the seal mark. Otherwise, it would have probably screamed in pains very loud.
The s.p.a.ce was made underneath the sh.e.l.l in the middle section of the golden-sh.e.l.led insect’s back. Chu Yunsheng also used his sword to poke a hole on the side that was facing the front. This hole was going to be his only view of the outside.
After he prepared everything, he activated the armour and hid inside the golden-sh.e.l.led insect. He then ordered the golden-sh.e.l.led insect to destroy two walls, and returned back to the street that was filled with insects.
The energy s.h.i.+eld had the ability to block all scent from spreading out. So as long as he didn’t make any big movements, red-sh.e.l.led insects shouldn’t be able to notice him.
Although the golden-sh.e.l.led insect was much bigger than the red-sh.e.l.led insects, it was still very difficult for the golden-sh.e.l.led insect to move on the street, when all other insects were moving in a different direction. It often needed to stop in the middle of the street to let the big crowd pa.s.s first.
The golden-sh.e.l.led insect had the ability to dig into the ground. However, whenever Chu Yunsheng tried to dig a tunnel, a strange force would try to push the golden-sh.e.l.led insect out constantly.
‘This is probably the reason why the golden-sh.e.l.led Insects haven’t been able to dig their ways into the city.’ Chu Yunsheng thought.
Arriving at the riverside, and seeing the situation in the river, Chu Yunsheng hesitated.
The Yangtze River was already hard enough to cross, now that so many red-sh.e.l.led insects and some golden-sh.e.l.led insects all squeezed together on the slimy substances that were floating on the top of the river, it made the crossing even harder!
However, there was no way back. He had already spent almost 20 minutes arriving at the riverside, and he only had less than 40 minutes left to blow up the tombs.
He carefully controlled the golden-sh.e.l.led insect to push away the red-sh.e.l.led insects that blocked his way, making it look like an “accident”.
When he crossed ⅓ of the river, the surface of the river suddenly turned foggy. Soon, the entire river was covered with black fog.
Chu Yunsheng had heard some rumours about the monsters in the river. It was said that when there was a back fog on the river surface, the monsters in the river would often appear.
He gritted his teeth very hard. He had already gotten this far, he couldn’t afford to be eaten by some kinds of underwater monsters. So he started to control the golden-sh.e.l.led insect to speed up his pace. More and more monsters were pushed into the river by the golden-sh.e.l.led insect.
Soon, he could finally see the other side of the river in the fog!
