Dark Blood Age

Chapter 307

It was too late to retreat. There were countless red-shelled insects behind him. Everywhere was blocked.

Advancing? That was suicide. Although the insects from the spore forest were not many, every single one of them was a meat grinder.

On the battlefield, every single second of delay would result in many losses of lives. It was even more so in the war between insects.

So Chu Yunsheng didn’t have any time to think carefully.

Speaking of the green ripple insect, it was a huge monster that had many eyes-like hemispheres on its body. Each one of eyes was able to cast out green energy waves, and not a single red-shelled insect was able to block this kind of energy attack. It was very easy to tell how powerful a green ripple insect was, just by looking at how many eyes-like hemispheres on its body. The more eyes it had, the more powerful it would be.

For example, the one that Chu Yunsheng encountered had a dozen eyes on its huge body. Each one of its eyes was more than one meters long in diameter. It meant that the one he encountered was a powerful monster that had rich combat experiences.

Every time when it unleashed an energy attack, it would also cause a strong shockwave, pushing outward rapidly. Although Chu Yunsheng and his “comrades” dodged the energy attack, they were immediately blown up to the sky by the shockwaves.

His team leader was not as lucky as him, it died instantly in the first round of the attack.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t know how to describe the scene he saw. Compared to what happened in the yellow mountain area, this was much worse.

Before Chu Yunsheng was able to get up, another round of attack arrived. The dumb insect suddenly jumped up in a panic and pushed Chu Yunsheng into a pile of insect’s dead bodies.

Chu Yunsheng dodged the attack, However, the dumb insect couldn’t dodge the energy attack in time. Its butt and back legs were cut off by the energy wave instantly. Despite that, it still wanted to charge towards the green ripple insect after it pushed Chu Yunsheng away.

Chu Yunsheng immediately used his remaining claw to pull it back. Probably because the dumb insect was injured or maybe there were other reasons, although Chu Yunsheng was very weak, he still managed to pull the dumb insect back into the pile of bodies he was in.

The battle still continued...

The pile of bodies that covered both the dumb insect and Chu Yunsheng became higher and higher. It completely buried the dumb insect and him.

The sound of countless insects’ footsteps disappeared into the spore forest and re-appeared again repeatedly. It seemed like the frontline was pushed into the forest and pushed back out of the forest again and again...

An uncountable amount of insects’ bodies was spread across the battlefield. Many huge insects that Chu Yunsheng had never seen before started to march into the forest from the creep area.

Soon, another group of huge insects that could easily destroy cities ran out of the spore forest and ran into the creep area, destroying many tombs.

While the situation on the battlefield became more and more fierce, the small and narrow space underneath the pile of insects’ bodies was very calm and quiet as if it was isolated from the rest of the world...

...

“Dumb insect, I’m telling you, you can’t sleep, do you understand? The insect doesn’t sleep, do you hear me!” Chu Yunsheng repeatedly chirped to the dumb insect who was slowly losing its strength.

“You are an insect, you are not a human being, don’t close your eyes and wake the fuck up...”

...

“Don’t you always want me to tell you stories, I will tell you, but you can’t sleep...”

“There used to be a craw... you don’t like this one?... There was a kid...”

“There used to be an insect called Sun Goku. He was different from other insects when it was born. He was just like you.”

...

“Dumb insect, wake up, wake the fuck up... Stop pretending that you are a human being!”

“Stop playing dead, you haven’t understood the human word I taught you... How can you stop...”

...

“Please, I’m begging you, don’t die...”

“If you died, I’ll have no one to talk to...”

...

“Why... why... Why are all of you dead? Why all of you want to leave me alone in this world! Why!...”

Chu Yunsheng felt like his chest was going to explode. He wanted to scream as loud as he could.

“Why? Why...” He murmured repeatedly. His voice was lower and lower until he fell completely silent.

After a long silence, Chu Yunsheng finally moved a little bit. He wanted to shake off the pile of bodies on top of him. However, he noticed that he couldn’t stand up because of the weight of many dead bodies.

At that moment, the anger that he could barely get it under the control instantly erupted. He roared hysterically like a mad insect, “fuck you, fuck you all, fuck you ice race, fuck you divine realm, fuck you...”

He was using his only claws and sharp legs to hack, to slice, to tear the bodies around him apart frantically.

Cut after cut, slash after slash, as if those dead bodies were the divine realm, the ice race and the fire race and the green ripple insect that killed the dumb insect...

His mind was filled with hate, endless hate, the hate that was built up deep inside his mind since the beginning of the dark age, the hate that had been suppressed and deliberately forgotten by him every time he lost someone important to him. However, he didn’t realize that the more he tried to suppress it and the more he tried to hide it, the more powerful it would be when it erupted.

Chu Yunsheng was already on the verge of collapsing. He had already lost the strength to move his body. But he was still growling and growling...

“God! What do you want from me! I am already an insect, why do you have to torture me, tell me... tell me...”

He was in a state of trance. However, his mouth still murmured instinctively until he lost his consciousness completely.

...

Chu Yunsheng was able to dream again. He dreamed about the girl who used to sell meat buns and soya milk in the shop on the ground floor of his building. He dreamed about the girl he met on the underground station, he dreamed about his boss who liked to annoy him....

...

Every familiar face was so close to him. However, when he wanted to touch them, adn wanted to talk to them, they started to run away further and further. No matter how fast he chased, he still could catch up with them.

Suddenly, the world around him started to shake. Then he noticed something was behind him. When he turned around and saw a monster behind. He instantly woke up in shock.

“You?” Chu Yunsheng stammered when he saw the “monster” in front of him, “you... you... you...”

‘Am I dreaming again?’

‘The dumb insect is still alive?’

Chu Yunsheng turned his insect’s head around to check his surroundings. He knew that if it really was a dream, then he wouldn’t be able to see many details of the surroundings.

But his quick glance instantly startled him again.

He was soaked in a puddle of strange green liquid?! Although he had an insect’s body and he didn’t need to breathe, when his surroundings suddenly changed, it could still startle him. Especially when his body was soaked in a puddle of strange liquid.

Chu Yunsheng quickly checked the energy inside his body to see if there was something wrong with his body. But he was surprised to find out that the energy inside his body had increased a lot?

“What is this? Are you alive?”

Chu Yunsheng immediately sent signals to the dumb insect.

The dumb insect looked at Chu Yunsheng in confusion for a very long time before it used its claws to pointed a place above their heads and said, “eat... eat... eat...”

Chu Yunsheng raised his head. He saw a big hemisphere that was made of unknown material had a thin crack in its middle. The crack seemed to be cut by sharp objects many times. There were many scratches around the thin crack. The strange liquid that Chu Yunsheng was in was dripping from the thin crack.

It was the wood elemental energy!

Chu Yunsheng was sure that he sensed the wood elemental energy in the strange liquid. Although he lost his original body, the ability to sense all types of energy was already marked deep into his consciousness.

‘Did those wood elemental energies save the dumb insect?’ Chu Yunsheng thought.

‘It is very likely,’ Chu Yunsheng thought again. He clearly remembered that the leech-like monster’s wood elemental energy had helped his green-shelled insect to level up, and the girl whose name was Jing Mouyou also used her wood elemental energy to speed up his purple flame monster’s recovery.

With the dumb insect limited language ability, god knows how long it would take it to explain the whole thing. So despite the dumb insect was still trying to explain to Chu Yunsheng like a kid, it was ignored by Chu Yunsheng.

At least, it was still alive, and that alone made Chu Yunsheng very happy. He was not alone now. He no longer needed to face this cold dark world alone.

The killing above them still hadn’t finished. The energy fluctuations caused by massive energy attacks still appeared constantly.

From time to time, they could hear some loud painful screams caused by unknown monsters, then as if something huge fell to the ground, it caused the ground to move violently.

Time slowly passed, Chu Yunsheng and the dumb insect was eating that strange wood elemental energy day after day.

The dumb insect had tried to run out and joined the push several times, but it was stopped by Chu Yunsheng every time. The dumb fuck was completely brainwashed by Min. Although it just came back alive, it still wanted to work for Min.

Only until 10 days later, or maybe longer, the sound of battle finally stopped above the pile of dead bodies that Chu Yunsheng was in. Even the energy fluctuations also disappeared.

“Finally over?” Chu Yunsheng sighed.

He didn’t know why the insects from both sides “hated” each other so much. The last war even took more than 10 days. This time, the losses of the insect from the creep area had already surpassed the losses that the insect had when they attacked Jin Ling city.

There might be more insect’s secrets that he didn’t know about, but he also didn’t want to know.

What he needed the most right now was to find a safe place to digest the wood elemental energy he ate in the past 10 days.

The dumb insect had transformed into the second form yesterday. It looked much bigger and stronger now. Its butt and legs had also grown back as well. In terms of what kind of new ability it got, they couldn’t find it out in such a narrow place underneath a pile of dead insects’ bodies.

Unlike the dumb insect, most of the energy Chu Yunsheng ate was sucked away by the monster seal talisman in his butt.

But there was one more thing that Chu Yunsheng discovered in the past 10 days. It was that the hemisphere above him was the eye of a green ripple insect.
