Chapter 171 Flying up and falling

"Okay, are you ready?"

"I think we should consider going below first...walking on the bridge will do no good at all."

"Are all of you Mantis clan so ink-stained?"

"Are all your race so bold?"

"My race has always been brave enough to challenge giant and highly intelligent creatures that are several times larger than myself. Compared with such creatures, those little bugs on the top of the bridge in front of me are completely insignificant."

Seeing the little cockroach in front of him eager to try, the mantis was still trembling in his heart.

"Whether you want to leave or not, do you want to be a hero for a moment or a coward for the rest of your life!"

"I just want to go home and see..."

"Very good, you seem to want to be a hero, let's go."

The other party didn't take his words seriously at all, and the mantis was also discouraged: "Okay, just once. If we encounter danger that we cannot defeat, we will dive down immediately."

"knew."

"..." Looking at Wan Yi, Mantis said, "My name is Culom, what's your name?"

"Wanyi."

"A bit of a weird tone."

"I come from a place far away." Maybe that place is called "The South."

Finally, after some mental preparation, the mantis and the cockroach were ready, and then they jumped up on the edge of the bridge at the same time.

Oh!

The mantis spreads its wings and flies in the air, and Wan Yi...

"I'll go, I can really fly... But, isn't it a little wobbly?" The moment Wan Yi decided to take off, he felt that the soft cloak behind him suddenly stiffened.

Then it flutters rapidly at a very high frequency, making a creepy flying sound.

He really flew!

But I don't know why, it just feels very shaken.

"No problem, that's how cockroaches fly."

"It fits the public's impression of cockroaches."

"The main body is so small, I thought it was a small cockroach from the north, but the flying posture should be that of a big cockroach from the south."

The clones responded to Wan Yi's question.

However, after Wan Yi flew for a while, he immediately felt out of breath.

The cloak behind him seemed to be softening after being fanned hard for a while.

"It won't last long..."

Just when Wan Yi was about to fall, Cullom quickly grabbed Wan Yi and hugged him: "I talked for a long time, but in the end you are so unskilled in flying! You still want to challenge Tiantu?!"

"Actually, this is my first time flying."

Cullom immediately burst out with a lot of swear words, and almost threw Wan Yi down with a shake of his hand.

"No, we have to turn back immediately."

"Then it might be too late."

Whoosh!

There was a sound of breaking through the air overhead, and a white spear flew towards him. Cullom used his free hand to block it, making a nice crisp sound.

But immediately afterwards, one after another orange-red eyes lit up in the dark shadows on the top of the bridge.

"It may be a little late now." Wan Yi made a sound as if it had nothing to do with him.

Whoosh whoosh!

The sound of countless spears breaking through the air sounded, and white spears rained towards the two insects.

Wan Yi quickly climbed from Cullom's arms to its head.

"It should be easier if you have both hands free this way."

Cullom wanted to scold him, but it was too late.

He quickly waved the blades of both hands and knocked down the spears that came close to him one by one. Wan Yi also took out the Chongchong knife to help. It was not difficult to defend one-third of an acre of land.

After a wave of spear rain passed, those flying beetles attacked directly.

Although it seems that their equipment and carapace have not been regularly maintained and rested, there is no doubt that they are countless times superior to the insects wandering in the wasteland outside.

The leader of the fastest bugs came directly in front of Cullom, and Cullom hurriedly raised his two swords to block the opponent's thrust.

Then he opened the spear with his two knives and launched two extremely fast combos.

Although the opponent's sprint speed was very fast, his reaction didn't seem to be that fast. He was directly cut through the weak spot of the carapace by Cullom's double sword and was killed.

"Very good, it seems that you are already qualified to apply for Hallownest's high-altitude guard." Wan Yi said lying on the back of Cullom's neck.

"They were just blinded by the plague, and there is no comparison with their normal condition." Columb said, "And the Mantis family does not need Hallownest's approval."

"Hallowest doesn't want to affirm you, but Hallownest now plans to dig you into a hornet's nest." Wan Yi shook its head, letting it see the large number of guards following behind it.

Cullom quickly prepared himself and dodged the straight-line sprints of several guards. However, due to the large number, he was unable to dodge and had to confront the opponent head-on again.

Wan Yi climbed up and down on Cullom's body, holding a Chongchong knife to chop at the right moment to help relieve the pressure.

Although Cullom always felt that it was a bit weird to have such a dark, oval-shaped thing constantly coming and going back and forth on his body, the opponent's increasingly fierce momentum soon made him no longer think about it, and he could no longer hold on. Got it!

No, how far they have just flown, how far ahead there is, there are so many guards guarding the bridge, it is simply not something that insect power can break through.

Just when it was about to dive under the bridge as it had planned, suddenly, its wings stopped flapping.

Not preparing for a dive, but stopping without warning.

Cullom fell a long way before he forced his wings to flap again and stabilized in mid-air.

"What's wrong with you?" Wan Yi was also startled by the other party.

"I..." Cullom looked complicated, but a large number of bugs rushed towards him from above.

Wan Yi sighed helplessly, then took out the soul-eating wand, and several soul crystals flashed out from his small black hand after turning into a little cockroach.

After condensing onto the staff, it raised its hand and pointed in the air.

The next moment, the power of the soul turned into countless wailing souls, roaring and impacting into the air.

The guards who were close to him were directly swallowed up by the power of the soul, and those who were farther away were also knocked away by the impact of the soul.

It was like a ball of fire was thrown among the insects. Countless insects were burned by the fire, and fell down after being killed.

Wan Yi picked up a lot of soul crystals in the process.

He looked at the soul crystal floating at hand: "The soul of an insect seems to be the same as that of a human."

At least there is no difference between the condensed soul crystals.

"Wanyi." Kurom suddenly said.

"What's up?"

"I might not be able to hold on anymore."

"Why can't you hold on?"

"fly……"

Before he could speak, Cullom's wings froze again.

Both began to fall.

"Did you do this on purpose?" Wan Yi asked in the air.

"No! Just do it, how could I regret it?!" Cullom shouted.

"What's going on?!"

"I'm almost an adult! My wings are about to degenerate!"

"Is this what a mantis is like?!"

"This is what our Mantis clan is like!"

"In the end, you won't be able to fly safely!"

"You, a first-time flyer, don't have the right to criticize me in this regard!"

Cockroaches and praying mantises were noisy in the air while their wings kept flapping. Although they slowed down their falling momentum, they still couldn't change the fact that they were falling.

When the guards recovered from the power of the soul technique, they could no longer find the target.

The orange eyes flickered slightly, and finally they all flew back to the top of the bridge, entering dormancy and waiting for the next intruder who overestimated their capabilities.

…

"It's really amazing. A cockroach is flying for the first time, and a mantis is about to become an adult and its wings have deteriorated. It seems that our outcome is already doomed." Wan Yi said while looking at the lush environment around him.

In the end, I still have to walk through this.

The surroundings are covered with moss, and there is a clear river not far away. The vegetation grows wildly, and there are many thick thorns covering the land.

"I already said that challenging Tiantu is foolhardy." Mantis said while lying on the ground.

"Actually, it doesn't matter where I go."

"Why do I feel like you are being harsh?"

"No, I didn't." The little cockroach puffed up his chest.

The two small whiskers on Cullom's head hung down a little weakly, but suddenly he remembered something and asked: "Did you just use the soul spell?"

"Huh? That's about right."

"I heard that only the Snail Clan can master this mysterious power. Have you ever received a blessing from the Snail Clan?"

"Ah? I didn't. Will the snail bless the cockroach?"

"Well, I haven't really seen the snail family. But it seems that you are indeed very powerful, much more powerful than me."

"You're pretty good, too." Although Wan Yi has never seen other warriors in this world, Kurom's combat performance in the air is indeed good.

If the wings hadn't degenerated, the two insects might have been able to fly Wan Yi across the bridge together.

Wan Yi looked at the orange-red light shining in his hand, which looked like orange juice-like soul crystals. These were the souls he had collected from the previous guards.

It is different from a normal soul.

"These souls look tainted."

"The blinding plague." Cullom said after taking a look.

"you know?"

"I came a little earlier than you, and I found out some things while wandering around." Cullom said, "Since the middle of the holy war, the power from the blinding light began to penetrate the minds of the insects indiscriminately. Support the blinding The insects of light sacrificed their sanity to become ruthless warriors, and the armies of the Pale King were also eroded by the blinding light."

"Were those guards like this just now?"

"Yes. The blinding light is like a madman, and its power keeps spreading like a plague. You may be infected accidentally and become a puppet..." Cullom's voice became smaller and smaller.

Wan Yi felt the increasingly intense fear emanating from it.

Only then did he understand what the half-adult mantis was really afraid of.
