Chapter 170 The innocent little cockroach
"As for this place, it's called Dirtmouth, a border town in Hallownest." The old insect ended with these words, and then looked at Wan Yi condescendingly.
Wan Yi's height is not to mention quite tall, but it is above average. He is usually the only one looking down at others, but now he only has two heads. Being looked at like this really makes the cockroach sigh.
"Are there many outsiders recently?"
"Yeah, I've always had them since I was a child. There were so many of them back then. Even though it was very difficult to browse the mound of corpses, there were still many insects who came to pursue their ideals. But... alas." The old insect sighed.
"I can't remember some things clearly as I get older, but it's true that the insects haven't come here for a long time, but it seems to have become lively again recently."
Wan Yi nodded: "Thank you for letting me know, I think I should go."
"Are you going to Hallownest? I don't mean to dissuade you, but if you are really lost, it's best to go back the way you came."
"It's okay, we are just visiting." The little cockroach showed a cheerful smile,
However, it seems that his expression cannot be seen outside due to the helmet.
"Then good luck to you, warrior over the hill of corpses."
Saying goodbye to the old bug, Wan Yi moved on.
"In short, does it mean that there is still a war in this time and space?"
"It's good to fight. It's better to fish in troubled waters."
"According to the information previously investigated, the bugs in this world have a variety of superb fighting skills, and some races also possess magical spells, and even more so, they have extremely powerful special powers."
"It is also a treasure space and time, but there are also quite a lot of dangers."
Wan Yizheng was chatting with his clones when he saw a shaking insect figure in the wilderness ahead shortly after leaving the town.
"Hello, I'm everyone's favorite cockroach." Wan Yi smiled and went up to say hello.
But after hearing Wan Yi's voice, the other party turned his head sharply.
This insect's eyes were shrouded in a strange orange-red light, and it was holding a sword and a shield in its hands. No, it didn't seem to be a "sword". Specifically, it looked more like a nail.
As for the equipment on his body, the carapace should be his natural weapon.
The other party waved the weapon at the innocent and kind-hearted cockroach without hesitation.
With that momentum, there is no doubt that if it is hit by a chop, the entire insect will fall apart.
"Even a cockroach wouldn't be so resistant." Although he knew it had nothing to do with him, it didn't stop Wan Yi from complaining like this.
Ding!
Chongchong knife and bone nail collided.
The worn-out bone nails were completely shattered, and the petite cockroach jumped directly in front of the opponent. The knife broke the opponent's shield with a bloody brilliance. The blade cut through the old carapace, and then separated his upper and lower bodies.
"Woooo..."
The corpse was still shaking, the bug was shaking slightly, and there were bursts of sobs coming from its mouth.
Wan Yi turned around and took a look, seeing that the light in Chong Zhi's eyes dimmed.
He knelt down next to the body and began to examine it.
"Original body? What are you doing!"
"After turning into a cockroach in appearance, can't you bear it anymore mentally?"
"It's so noisy." Wan Yi cursed and said, "This corpse has been dead for a long time. Although I don't understand the life and death of insects, there is no body fluid in the body at all. It should be a corpse that has been shriveled for a long time. , but it moved again."
He stood up. There was nothing to pick up from the bug.
Standing in the wilderness, the cockroach named "Wan Yi" began to divide.
One oval turned into two ovals, each oval separated from its body, and then each one crawled around on all fours as if it had a damaged cerebellum.
If someone looks at it from a distance, a more sensitive person may have nightmares at night.
"You talk about all kinds of ridicule, but you actually enjoy it a lot." Wan Yi looked around and said speechlessly.
"We can't change anything, so we can only enjoy it!"
"It's actually quite fun. We can get up really fast. Is this a hidden racial benefit?"
"Would you like to lie down and crawl with me?"
Wan Yi kicked a cockroach clone next to his feet: "Crawl, crawl for me!"
The cockroaches were dispersed.
They scattered to various locations in the Holy Nest, while Wan Yi continued on the path in front of him. The old bug had pointed out the way to him before, and said sincerely that no matter what scenery he saw, Hallownest was Hallownest.
However, only the gathering place with a large number of towering buildings is the center of Hallownest.
Originally, as long as you walked straight, you would be able to reach the center of Hallownest. There was originally a bridge there, connecting the wilderness on the border of Hallownest and the center of Hallownest, but that bridge was interrupted during the war.
Therefore, if you want to go to Hallownest, you have to go around under the bridge, or pass through the more dangerous facilities on the top of the bridge.
There are many bugs wandering around in the wilderness. They are basically bug bodies with orange-red eyes.
Knocking down another body, Wan Yi sat on the corpse and sighed: "Where is the promised holy war? I thought I would see the scene of the two armies confronting each other as soon as I came in, but in the end there was nothing but corpses everywhere."
So far, except for his clone, he has only seen one live insect from the old bug in the town.
It's obviously a world of insects, but Wan Yi feels like it's an insect version of the undead.
After walking for a long time, he finally came to the bridge pointed by the old insect.
As mentioned, the bridge is broken in the middle, and the two ends are far apart, so you can basically only go around it from below.
Looking down, the bottom of the bridge is lush and lush. It is different from the black wasteland I have seen along the way. It seems to be in a natural jungle, full of life.
Then look up again, above the bridge.
The intricate engineering work on the bridge seems to have become a habitat for certain bugs.
Although he couldn't see clearly, he could vaguely see the shadow of some things moving.
Walking to the top of the bridge won't take much time and is equivalent to a shortcut, but the danger is obvious.
As for the jungle-like place under the bridge, the risk factor may be lower. I'm not sure exactly, but if the old bugs recommend it, it should be a safer choice.
So of course.
Wan Yi chose to walk on the top of the bridge.
"Now that I've turned into a cockroach, I wonder if I can fly." Wan Yi came to the break of the bridge and fiddled with the two halves of his overlapping cloak.
If it weren't for the pseudo-cockroach, this outfit would indeed have a different flavor.
However, the cloak was limp and there were no wings underneath, so Wan Yi felt that there was nothing to hope for.
"Hey you!"
Suddenly, his insect's cry came from behind.
The tentacles on Wan Yi's head trembled slightly.
Yes, those who have the courage to call him from behind in this state should only be bugs in time and space, not outsiders.
As for outsiders, Wan Yi felt that they would attack first to see the situation.
He turned his head and saw an insect with a slender body and sharp blades in its hands.
Mantis.
This mantis has cyan wings and white limbs, neck and head. The wings behind it are still slightly open, and it looks a little immature, but overall it has grown up quite a bit.
From the voice just now, it can be seen that the other party is not old, but very young.
"Little thing, you are trying to challenge the heavenly path that only the strong can dare to go to. Get out of here quickly, you are risking your life." The other party said in a low voice.
Wan Yi glanced at it and then looked down at the top of the bridge: "Tiantu?"
That's just the top of the bridge.
"You seem to regard me as a frivolous character in those false knight biographies." The other party raised his head, "But I am kindly reminding you. This is a short truce period, and there are people everywhere in Hallownest who may be hiding and taking advantage of this gap. Weary warriors napping. Your intrusion will only annoy them."
"For example, the heavenly path you mentioned?"
"Yes, they were originally the pale king's air guards of Hallownest, but they have obviously lost themselves in the endless war and have forgotten why they are fighting," Mantis said.
"Um...thank you." After saying that, Wan Yi shook his cloak and decided to try again to see if he could fly.
Isn't it a bit embarrassing that a big cockroach can't even pounce on your face?
"Why don't you listen to my advice?" Mantis was puzzled.
"Why are you here? Mr. Mantis?" Wan Yi asked without looking back.
"Um...uh..." Mantis said vaguely.
"Then thank you for informing me, I'm leaving."
"You know," Mantis suddenly said just as Wan Yi was about to take off, "The Mantis tribe is independent of Hallownest. I shouldn't be here in the first place."
Wan Yi turned his head,
No, he didn't know, he was just an outsider.
A cockroach with ulterior motives.
"The Mantis clan is a born warrior, but my parents sent me away from Hallownest before the Holy War began. They didn't care about the glory of the warriors, they just wanted me to live."
Wan Yi watched quietly.
"I also came back from outside. Um, Mantis tribe is under Hallownest. That is, um... I want to go home and have a look." Mantis rubbed the blades of his hands with some embarrassment.
Everything is clear.
The semi-adult mantis with thick eyebrows and big eyes turned out to be timid about being close to home, or maybe he was afraid of the danger under the bridge, so when he saw Wan Yi wanted to directly challenge the top of the bridge, he chose to persuade him to find someone to accompany him.
"I can accompany you." His tone was relaxed and quite friendly.
"Really?" Mantis looked happy.
"But let's go on a journey to heaven first." The little cockroach looked at it with the innocent big eyes on the helmet and said.
