Chapter 460: Chapter 460 Summoning the Swarm (2nd Update)
 

An imposing voice echoed in the minds of these Insect Tribe members.

“A formidable enemy is approaching, gather all insect swarms here immediately!”

The High-Grade Insect Race members prostrated on the ground and respectfully responded, “Yes!”

The queen’s return and the summoning of the swarms spread rapidly.

For a moment, the entire Insect Race Secret Realm began to stir with unease.

Meanwhile, Xue An and An Qing were on their way to the Insect Race’s Main City.

An Qing sat on the shoulder of a flesh giant made up of Insect Tribe corpses, her face full of excitement.

“Brother-in-law, is this Insect Tribe queen very powerful?”

“She should be alright!” Xue An looked up at the Insect Race Flying Dragons constantly flying above and spoke indifferently.

“Hehe, I think I’m pretty awesome now too. I’ll help brother-in-law deal with this Insect Tribe queen when the time comes!” An Qing said with a giggly smile.

Xue An laughed, remaining silent.

At this time, they were in the midst of a continuous range of mountains, and because there was no sunlight in this secret realm, only eternal moonlight, the trees and plants in these mountains were very different from those on Earth.

Xue An was slowly flying in the sky.

Initially, Xue An planned to fly with An Qing to the Main City and finish off the Insect Tribe queen before heading back.

But An Qing couldn’t bear to leave her flesh giant behind and insisted on traveling together.

After some thought, Xue An agreed.

Xue An was well aware that the Insect Tribe queen must already know of his arrival, as evidenced by the continuous flight of dragons in the sky.

Fine, once you’ve gathered the swarms, I’ll take care of you all at once!

With this thought in mind, he was making his unhurried way toward the Main City.

At that moment, the flesh giant parted a thick growth of Moon Herbs, revealing a small river ahead.

By the riverbank, a group of ragged-looking people had gathered.

Seeing An Qing’s flesh giant, all of these people looked utterly desperate.

Some of the more timid ones even dropped to their knees on the ground.

“Hey, there are people here!” An Qing exclaimed in surprise.

“You damned insects, take this!”

A man who appeared to be the leader suddenly pulled out a handgun and fired several shots at An Qing.

Before An Qing could even react,

the flesh giant beneath her raised an arm, and the bullets embedded themselves into the giant’s outer skin.

The man let out a cry of despair, “Go ahead and kill me if you dare! You damn bugs, we humans will never surrender!”

An Qing was somewhat baffled, “Brother-in-law, what are they talking about?”

Xue An descended from the sky, looked at the group and said lightly, “Earthlings?”

Clearly, none of these people had expected someone to drop from the sky, and then the lead man cautiously asked, “Are you… human or insect?”

An Qing then patted the shoulder of the flesh giant, which slowly crouched down. She jumped off and said, “Nonsense, of course we are genuine humans!”

The man still seemed suspicious when suddenly a girl behind him, pointing to An Qing’s feet, said in a trembling voice: “Her… her feet!”

The crowd looked down.

They saw An Qing floating in mid-air, not touching the ground at all. Her appearance was as bizarre as it gets.

All of them turned pale.

An Qing said somewhat sheepishly, “Ah, I’m a soul right now, sorry about that, didn’t mean to scare you all!”

“So you’re really human?”

An Qing nodded.

The group of people finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Sorry, I thought it was one of those damned bugs of yours that had transformed!” the man apologized.

To them, even if An Qing were a ghost, she would still be preferable to the bugs.

“What’s going on here…?” An Qing asked.

The man gave a wry smile, “My name is Zu Tianle, and all of us here have been captured by the Insect Tribe!”

“Captured by the Insect Tribe?”

“Yes!”

During the subsequent conversation, An Qing learned that this Zu Tianle was actually a shooting instructor, and the people behind him also came from Huaguo.

Among them were school students, company white-collars, doctors, teachers…

In short, there were people from all walks of life.

And the biggest thing they had in common was that, before mysteriously arriving in this world, they had all stayed in Dianzhou.

Zu Tianle said with a bitter smile at this point, “At first, there were well over a hundred of us, but after a few days of being hunted by the Insect Tribe, only about twenty or thirty of us are left.”

In just a few short days, these ordinary people, who had never experienced life and death, had come to understand what cruelty meant.

Companions who had been laughing and talking were buried in the bellies of bugs in the blink of an eye.

What was known as civilization was simply no match for these powerful bugs.

If it hadn’t been for Zu Tianle carrying a training pistol and a few dozen bullets, they would have collapsed long ago.

Even so, they were now on the verge of collapse.

Hiding in these mountains was nothing more than a momentary reprieve.

Just when they had fallen into complete despair, Xue An and An Qing suddenly appeared.

Xue An now understood what was going on.

No wonder there were still humans in this secret realm that was absolutely unsuitable for human survival.

They all came through a space rift.

That being said, Dianzhou must have been closely linked to the Insect Race Secret Realm in the past—otherwise, ordinary people wouldn’t still be able to stumble into it even after the Seal.

“What are you two trying to do?” At this moment, Zu Tianle’s heart was full of curiosity and doubt.

A human woman’s soul leading an Insect Tribe giant and a man who could fly.

This combination was indeed puzzling.

An Qing said cheerfully, “I’m following my brother-in-law to exterminate the Insect Tribe!”

“Exterminate… the Insect Tribe?” Zu Tianle thought he had heard wrong.

“Yes!”

Zu Tianle smirked, “You two seem very capable, but the Insect Tribe’s numbers are beyond counting. How could just the two of you possibly wipe them out?”

“Who said anything about wiping them out one by one? Isn’t it over once that despicable Insect Queen is killed?” An Qing said nonchalantly.

Zu Tianle still found it hard to believe and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn’t help but ask, “How did you all get in here?”

“I was captured by the Insect Tribe, and my brother-in-law came in to rescue me!”

Zu Tianle turned his gaze toward Xue An, “This gentleman…”

“Shh!” Xue An made a shushing gesture, then said indifferently, “There’s a swarm passing by.”

Zu Tianle and the others were stunned, their expressions changing dramatically, for they too felt the trembling of the ground.

Their most severe loss of life had been when they encountered a small swarm.

And judging by the commotion this time, the size of the swarm was clearly much larger.

An Qing, however, became excited, “Brother-in-law, let me handle this one!”
