Chapter 120 Hunting the Insect Queen
【Abyssal Soul and Netherworld Claw - Insect Mother】
Race: Abyssal Insectoid.
[Level: lv7.]
[Introduction: As the successors of the Abyss Soul Claw, the birth of each Abyss Soul Claw Mother is destined to attract considerable attention.]
The Queen Insect is extremely powerful. In addition to having the ability to continuously evolve herself and reproduce the insect race, she also possesses considerable intelligence and can absorb information by devouring the brains of other organisms.
When faced with danger, the Queen Insect can forcibly catalyze the hatching of incompletely hatched eggs through a special method and control the actions of other Abyssal Soul Claws.
[Special Note: Due to its evolutionary path being interrupted, the Abyss Soul Claw Insect Queen is currently in a weakened and extremely agitated state.]
"Level 7... Are you weakened?"
Despite the wary look on the insect queen before him, Wang Xiao showed no fear and continued walking toward her.
As the still-burning Hongtashan cigarette slowly slid from Wang Xiao's fingertips, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the cyan patterns on his right-hand sword lit up again, causing his movements to suddenly accelerate...
When everyone came to their senses, Wang Xiao's figure had already appeared behind the Insect Mother, and the specially made horizontal sword in his hand, which was flashing with a blue light, was slashing straight towards the back of the Insect Mother's neck!
"clang!"
Faced with Wang Xiao's sudden attack, the Insect Queen, who had long regarded Wang Xiao as the biggest threat, obviously would not let Wang Xiao succeed so easily.
The insect queen reacted and managed to block Wang Xiao's attack with her hind legs as the blade fell.
When the sharp blade collides with the hard segmented limb, it instantly sparks a burst of sparks.
But how could the weakened insect mother withstand Wang Xiao's abnormal power?
When his first attack failed, Wang Xiao drew his sword and turned around without hesitation.
While swiftly unleashing a wind blade to buy himself time to reposition, he also gave the insect queen no chance to catch her breath.
After only a brief adjustment, Wang Xiao resumed applying pressure from another direction.
The entire movement continued without any pause.
Both the terrifying frequency of attacks and the unparalleled intensity of attacks far surpassed those against the Nest Guardian Captain and the Devourer.
Seeing that Wang Xiao no longer held back and single-handedly suppressed the insect queen's actions throughout the entire process.
Besides feeling deeply shocked, everyone present finally gained a general understanding of the existence that all forces feared.
Even the leader of the mid-sized faction couldn't help but say, "I know he's strong, but this is just too outrageous..."
After saying that, he turned to the other ability users and asked, "Can any of you do what he does?"
The other ability users immediately shook their heads.
They can't do it.
Let alone dealing with the insect queen, even if they were to go and fight the giant insect devourer right now, they wouldn't be confident that they could defeat the monster without losing any manpower.
At this moment, Wang Xiao used his absolute strength to make everyone see the gap between them.
As the man and the insect fought, the commotion around them grew louder and louder.
A large number of insect-transformed monsters, forcibly catalyzed by the insect queen's power, are surging from various floors toward the eighth floor.
As if summoned by some force, they ignored the humans in other areas and rushed madly toward Wang Xiao's location.
"Stop them! We can't let them disturb Boss Wang!"
The leader of the smaller faction immediately spoke up to draw everyone's attention back.
Now that Wang Xiao has proven with his actions that he can deal with the insect queen, they must also fulfill the task that Wang Xiao has given them.
The group immediately adjusted their formation, formed a defensive line, and fought against the endless stream of insect-like monsters surging from below.
Meanwhile, Wang Xiao engaged in an even fiercer battle with the Insect Queen.
The queen insect has a wide variety of attack methods. Its six segments can sweep horizontally, thrust, and occasionally launch surprise attacks with sound and mucus.
Even with the aid of "dismemberment and bone removal", Wang Xiao was unable to kill him in a short time.
With a gust of wind, Wang Xiao deflected the incoming thrust, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the others who were blocking the insects' advance.
Despite being battered and bruised by the relentless upward attack of the insects, they still desperately tried every means to intercept the insectoids. In the end, they managed to prevent a single insect from breaking through their defenses and thus disrupting Wang Xiao's offensive rhythm against the insect queen.
Wang Xiao also gave them a very high evaluation in his heart.
These people were able to fight their way here with him, so their strength and courage far surpassed that of most people.
Not to mention that many of them were free men who chose to risk their lives to accept this dangerous commission in order to join the Peace Hotel.
Although these people did not join the Peace Hotel, they were the subjects the hotel had been quietly observing.
Even if they don't end up joining the hotel, there's a very high probability they'll become potential future customers.
Perhaps, one of them will become the next Yue Man, deeply intertwined with the hotel industry…
If they had enough support, they might be able to hold out for Wang Xiao for ten minutes.
After fighting their way through, their physical strength and the various auxiliary equipment they carried were already exhausted.
Let alone ten minutes, it's questionable whether we can even last half the time.
Once a gap is torn in this defense line, they will be overwhelmed by insects in less than ten seconds.
It would be a great pity if such a group of people with great potential were to give up their lives here.
From the perspective of the Peace Hotel's future development, these people shouldn't all be left here.
This is a significant loss for the hotel's future development.
The development of hotels is inseparable from people...
"We can't delay any longer."
Realizing that the others wouldn't last much longer, Wang Xiao increased the frequency of his attacks on the insect queen once again!
Faced with Wang Xiao's relentless attacks, the expression on the insect queen's humanoid face became increasingly ferocious.
Its evolution was interrupted, leaving it in a weakened state. It then expended a great deal of energy to catalyze the release of the insect eggs, and it desperately needs time to recover!
They thought they could buy time with the insects, but the humans stopped them.
And this human in front of it didn't give it a single chance to catch its breath.
If this continues, it will die!
It can't die!
It bears the responsibility of ensuring the continuation of its lineage; it must not die here!
The shadow of death began to appear in the insect queen's consciousness.
It kept letting out ferocious roars, and the insects' attacks became increasingly frenzied.
Someone shouted, "No, there are too many insects! We can't hold out any longer! Someone come quick!"
"This side too!"
"Help me! Help me now!"
Under the relentless onslaught of the insects, the entire defensive line began to be rapidly torn apart.
Massive casualties began to occur among the survivors, and the defense line was on the verge of complete collapse.
Intense gunfire erupted from below.
A man, exhausted and cornered at the edge of the corridor, looked down and saw that the forces originally responsible for areas B and C were blocking the insects' support for the insect queen from below.
The man shouted excitedly, "It's the Qin Group! It's reinforcements! They've come from other areas to help us!!!"
Hearing that reinforcements from other areas had arrived below, the morale of the group, who had been feeling desperate, soared.
Everyone unleashed their last bit of strength, managing to pull the collapsing defenses back up from the insects' onslaught.
The leader of the mid-sized faction shouted, "You guys are men! Hold on! Reinforcements are down below! We won't let a single bug get past us!"
With all their might, the crowd roared in response, "Yes!"
