Chapter 434: Bristleworm Hunt II
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It looked like Ye Chong had poked the wrong beehive.
The waves were tumbling! Millions of bristleworms flooded towards Han Jia. The green mists were rolling as restless the sea had gotten, becoming a whirlpool as attracting countless bristleworms from all corners to the center where Ye Chong was standing.
The sudden change of the sea had alerted the others.
Ye Yin could not control his emotion despite being the top pilot of Ye family, as astonishment was overflowing in his mind. The sea was struggling, the tiny conglomeration was seemingly shrieking somehow... Before he could realize, he began seeing scratches over the body of the dark green bristleworm.
Huh? Ye Yin flinched, what's going on?
The bristleworm covering the conglomeration somehow started cracking, as the number of scratches increased dramatically over its body.
The bristleworm was squirming in a more frantic manner, but its struggle was pointless, the cuts were still increasing like the engraving of curses haunting its entire entity.
In less than a second, the dark green bristleworm had gained about 21 new cuts. Ye Yin knew it was a nasty amount of cuts in such a brief window, it was a typical quick attack that was a chore to get rid of.
But who? Who was making such dramatic attack?
Ye Yin felt confused as he observed the projection carefully to see nothing else around the conglomeration.
At last, the bristleworm had a full convulsion and jerked twice before it collapsed into immobility.
Before Ye Yin could regain from his astonishment, the second, the third worm got attacked. The invisible killer was so efficient that even Ye Yin felt a little underwhelmed of himself. Also, clearly the target of the invisible killer had always been the conglomeration itself as he or she seemed to be slashing through the bristleworms-crowd outer layer.
Could it be?
Ye Yin had something in mind, as he turned on photon mode.
A petite and gorgeous skeleton mech was attacking the tiny conglomeration continuously.
It was him the whole time?
Ye Yin remembered that indifferent young man he had seen before. Certainly he was shocked, he might not have spoken to this young man personally before, but the bloodthirsty charm, the unspoken violence of this young man could never be forgotten upon glance!
Throughout the history, Ye family had conducted various researches on producing a full skeleton mech but they had never made any observable progress thus far. And now Ye Yin, the top pilot, was seeing a flawlessly crafted, fully functional skeleton mech with a splendid design and a unique set of weapon. No doubt, this must be a masterpiece!
Skeletons were perfect against the traditional detection system, that it was an eye-opener even to Ye Yin who had been to various battlegrounds.
Why is he here? Who exactly is he?
He could not help but to think about it.
But obviously it was not the time to be pondering these now.
The skeleton mech was spending all its strength attacking the lump.
Could it be....
Ye Yin saw the entire wave swirling over the skeleton mech aggressively. It was such a horrifying sight to see those larvae crawling every seeable space and engulfing the mech. Ye Yin remained calm, as he was still a brave and bold pilot after all.
If it was not for the sluggishness of those larvae, both of them might have been crushed into pieces.
The sea was waving, slowly but steadily.
Judging from the change of event, Ye Yin no longer had time and was left with two choices. One would be to leave the sea before the bristleworms blew up in hostility upon the combat order of the queen; another would be to kill that forming conglomeration before all bristleworms had arrived. The first plan was feasible as he could escape safely in time with his speed. The second plan would kill that chance for him as the place would turn imaginably inescapable when all bristleworms had clogged the entire course here.
Ye Yin made up his mind in a brief while!
The Spikedrops connected themselves from one end to another, forming a chain like a dark lightning and zapped into the conglomeration ahead.
In the meantime, Ye Chong was watching the lump before him.
The queen was completely embraced within the layer of bristleworms. Ye Chong could only see the fleshes of those dark green worms, the sight of the queen was imperceptible at the moment.
Ye Chong was almost certain however, that the greenish black silhouette was the queen in fact. It was no longer a hypothesis, the queen must be the queen.
Ye Chong had no better plan than killing the queen. That was the only thing he could do being all alone, though he could not imagine the outcome. Still, who cares! What other choices he had anyway?
Without hesitation, Han Jia raised its ”lance” like the mythical paladin and charged towards the foe!
Well, Ye Chong did not really perceive medieval terms like ”lance” or ”paladin”, even if he had been once exposed to history before, thanks to Shang. He was not sure if people had done this before, if he was the paladin, but it was all for survival!
It was not only for his survival, but also for Rui Bing, Old Jalopy, and Fei Si! They were the reason for his reckless-looking action! They were the one thing worth risking for!
