Chapter 179 (1/2)

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 s.h.i.+mmer 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-sh.e.l.led insect had started to pile up. Soon, the swarm would notice the difference and surround him.

The golden-sh.e.l.led 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-sh.e.l.led 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-sh.e.l.led 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-sh.e.l.led 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 pa.s.sed 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 s.h.i.+mmer 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-sh.e.l.led 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.
