Chapter 169 The Bizarre Adventure of Cockroach
"唧."
Wan Yizheng was experiencing endless ridicule in his mind when he suddenly heard a cry from his feet.
Only then did he see a cute little reptile, only as big as Wan Yi's current helmet head.
The front snout of the small reptile is black, the rest of the body is white, and the six small black feet are like balls.
"Mr. Mask?"
"唧."
"Why are you so cute, and your cry has become 'chirp'?" Wan Yi looked at it and said.
"It's okay, main body, you're cute too." The clone interjected.
"Yes, a cute two-headed insect, but a cockroach..."
"Hahahahaha!"
Wan Yi suddenly thought deeply when he heard the clone's voice, and then cloned himself on the spot.
"Okay, the same kind has appeared." Cockroach Wanyi cloned himself and made a grand appearance.
"..."
"Suddenly I seem to understand why the main body is a cockroach."
Wan Yi first took back the clone, and then Wan Yi received the information of this time and space.
There was nothing special, just the words "Unlimited stay time" were left, and then there was no sound. Of all the boundaries that Wan Yi has experienced, this is the worst one.
But all the gifts of fate have already been marked in secret.
The rigid conditions for this boundary are very loose, and you are not forced to do anything. But as long as you act within this boundary, you must maintain the posture of a bug.
You must know that one of the key points in the sequelae of qualitative change is that the change in the form of existence leads to the deviation of spiritual consciousness.
According to the clone's observations during this period, this is the hidden danger to ordinary people.
After living in the form of a bug for a while, you may not even know whether you are a human or a bug.
If you frequently enter and leave this boundary, you will be more likely to go crazy due to confusion about your own existence, and eventually become a half-human, half-insect monster.
If the assimilation of the general boundary is subtle, then the assimilation of the Zerg boundary zone is to manually pull up your progress bar.
Of course, these things actually have little to do with Wan Yi.
After all, he has many clones telling him that he is a human and a worm.
"You are a cockroach."
"Yes, you are a cockroach."
"Who? You're just a cockroach!"
"Shut up!" Wan Yi cursed in his mind.
He looked around, observing the environment first.
According to the clone's investigation early in the morning, although this boundary world is divided into time and space, the content is similar.
Although when he heard "Zerg" at first, he thought he was going to meet an opponent who was fighting to give birth to cubs. But in fact, this is rather the anthropomorphic world of bugs.
But this does not mean that anthropomorphism is better than the chaotic alien race.
If it were just a barbaric ecology between insects, then the depth of the boundary here might not be enough to form a vast abyss boundary zone.
It is even more because of the blending of anthropomorphism and insect primitiveness with human-like thinking that the world has become complex, chaotic, and distorted.
Even so, he hasn't seen a single bug yet.
There are only endless insect corpses and a cockroach.
Wan Yi checked what he carried with him.
All the instruments have basically shrunk. The Soul-Eating Wand should now be called the Soul-Eating Toothpick. Considering the size of the cockroach, it may be more toothpick than a toothpick.
If the whistle ring cannot be blown, it is either too far away or the power of the zodiac animals across two worlds cannot be transmitted.
The function of a mini camera has not changed but it has simply become smaller. This cannot be lost.
Although the cat knife has changed its appearance, it can still be used.
Oh, now it's the Chongchong Knife.
What makes Wan Yi and Mr. Mask unhappy is that after turning into Chongchong Knife, it has a physical form.
It turned into a knife with a black handle and a white blade, with insect-like exoskeleton patterns.
Like the current overall painting style, it has also become cute, and the original ferocious and lethal appearance is gone.
However, although a lot has changed, the feeling of wielding it is still not bad, and Mr. Mask is still holding the knife to gnaw on Wan Yi's body.
"Is the new flavor of Wanyi delicious?"
"唧."
"That's not bad. You can eat more this time."
"Chi..."
Wan Yi put Mr. Mask on his head and pressed down the two conspicuous long tentacles on his helmet.
Then he walked carefully along the path made of piles of corpses.
Not long after, he came to the end of the hill of corpses. The number of corpses in front of him gradually decreased, and an ordinary and winding gravel road gradually appeared.
After walking a few more steps, there was a fork in the road ahead. There was a dilapidated road sign at the intersection, and the sign hung weakly, making Wan Yi always feel that he couldn't count on it.
The words above were unfamiliar, but as before, there seemed to be no communication problems in the boundary space and time, and he easily understood the words.
An arrow points to the path Wan Yi came from, marked "Mound of Corpses."
An arrow points to the left, pointing to "Stormfall", and goes upwards, leading to a mountain.
The path on the right leads to a place where the words on the nameplate have been crossed out.
Wan Yi identified it himself and found that the two crossed out words should be "Holynest" when put together.
He kept the name in his mind and headed to Hallownest, while at the same time creating a clone to go to Stormfall.
The clone immediately fell down and landed on all fours.
"What do you mean?"
"Ssssssssss—!" The clone didn't mean to answer, and just crawled and ran.
Wan Yi saw a dark oval object rushing up the mountain at a speed that everyone could understand, and suddenly disappeared.
If it weren't for him, Wan Yi would probably want to kill him.
No, even though it was me, I still wanted to kill him.
Shaking his head and ignoring it, Wan Yi walked on the road to Hallownest by himself.
As a result, after a while, the clone ran into trouble.
Halfway up the mountain, the wind suddenly picked up. A little further up, he directly saw a strong storm blocking the mountain from the bottom.
The clone of a little cockroach is still too insignificant in the face of such power, and has no capital to move forward.
"It's like an air wall during game play, reminding you to explore the area ahead later." Wan Yi thought.
"I thought this was an open world, why are you so stingy?"
"From a realistic perspective, there is obviously a reason. There might be something sealed there."
"It seems we can only go to Hallownest first."
Wan Yi continued to move forward, and vaguely saw some semicircular buildings in front of him, but they were all gloomy. When Wan Yi approached them, he felt like a ghost town.
Insect City, to be precise? Can bugs turn into ghosts? Is there a similar culture here?
He was quite curious.
Wan Yi walked by, savoring the architectural style of the Zerg in this world. The buildings were arranged in a jumbled manner like insect eggs. He was a little curious about the environment inside.
It's a pity that the concierge here is closed, and Wan Yi Chong is unfamiliar with the place and doesn't want to implement the three-guang policy so quickly.
Suddenly, he saw a square in the center of the town not far away. There was a street lamp burning there, which was the only obvious light Wan Yi encountered along the way.
However, the only light source in such a gloomy place may not necessarily bring warmth and security to people.
It’s more likely that this is a trap set by well-intentioned creators to make you let your guard down.
Wan Yi walked up generously and saw a figure under the street lamp.
Hearing Wan Yi's tiny footsteps as he approached, the other party turned around with some hesitation.
It is an insect, and it stands like a human being. The specific type cannot be seen. The head is white and has two horns. It seems to be a beetle.
His face is honest and somewhat old-fashioned.
Wan Yi doesn't understand why Chongzi is so honest and old-fashioned. Anyway, he just has a sense of déjà vu that he knows when he sees him.
The other party spoke: "Oh, there seem to be a lot more outsiders recently. Although they all look ugly, they all have extraordinary momentum."
"Hello." Wan Yi greeted.
"You can talk? Well, you're a little better than the previous one."
"Where is this?" Wan Yi asked.
The old insect looked at Wan Yi with strange eyes: "Little guy, are you serious? You don't know where this is, but you are here?"
The little cockroach nodded.
"Then you must be an extraordinary idiot." Old Chong Zhao Chong was quite straightforward, "The battle between the Pale King and the Blinding Light caused Hallownest to be surrounded by mountains of corpses of swarms of insects. The Hill of Corpses isolated it. Most of the bugs are interested in what happens in Hallownest, but there are only a few bugs who have the perseverance and strength to cross the Hill of Corpses and come to Hallownest.”
Wan Yi looked at Old Chongzi and felt that there was a huge amount of information in this passage.
Although the current sense of déjà vu and the terms that just appeared here remind Wan Yi of a previous game with a cute style but a hardcore nature, it is obvious that the things that define the boundaries of time and space will not be as they should be.
It would be best for him to overturn and start over and understand again.
"What's happening in Hallownest now?" Wan Yi asked.
"I don't know either." Unexpectedly, the old insect gave a good answer.
Looking at the two big dull eyes on Wan Yi's cockroach helmet, the old insect continued: "This war has been going on for a long time. It started when I could just remember, and now in my twilight years, I still don't know about them. What are they fighting for? All they know is that they all call this battle 'holy war'."
