Chapter 121 The Mad Insects
The news of the Qin Group and other forces coming to provide support naturally reached Wang Xiao's ears.
But Wang Xiao had no time to be distracted at this moment, because the insect queen, which he should have been suppressing, suddenly erupted for some reason.
This forced Wang Xiao to focus his attention on dealing with it.
Wang Xiao's attacks became faster and faster, and the insect queen's resistance became more and more intense. The insects' attacks on the defensive line became more and more frantic!
"They're really tough to kill!"
After cleaving back the insect queen with a single strike, Wang Xiao did not rush to launch another attack.
This frequency of continuous attacks is a huge drain on his stamina. Although the insect queen is not fully evolved and is in a weakened state, she is still the leader of this group of insects, and she is not easy to deal with.
Seeing that Wang Xiao did not launch another attack, the insect queen began to seize every opportunity to recover her strength, while also roaring again to give the insects the order to assemble.
Unfortunately, what it didn't know was that Wang Xiao didn't continue to attack because he believed that with the capabilities of the Qin Group led by Qin Huai'an, the bug would definitely not be able to send reinforcements upstairs anytime soon.
Moreover, as the battle dragged on, the red lines of "dismemberment and bone removal" spread all over the insect queen's body.
Now, Wang Xiao has taken full account of all of the insect queen's weaknesses.
"Phew~"
Wang Xiao took a deep breath and poured all the little spiritual power he had into his horizontal sword.
The blue patterns on the blade shone brightly, and even began to emit a faint humming sound.
But as his mental energy was rapidly depleted, a wave of fatigue washed over him.
Noticing the abnormality in his body, Wang Xiao invested the 3 free points he had not yet allocated into his mental energy.
As the side effects of the three skill point increases accumulated, Wang Xiao once again exuded his familiar tyranny, but because the skill point increases affected his mind, he was in a very special state of clarity.
Meanwhile, the insect queen on the other side seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Wang Xiao at that moment.
Overwhelmed by a sense of crisis, it instinctively let out a sharp screech, attempting to stop Wang Xiao, while simultaneously launching a final, fierce attack on him with its limbs!
We cannot let this human continue.
Seeing the insect queen closing in frantically, Wang Xiao did not dodge. His aura was murky and chaotic, but his eyes were unusually calm. He was completing the final preparation of his power with a terrifying calmness...
"Buzz!"
A piercing sound of a blade rang out as Wang Xiao met the attack of the Insect Queen with a slash!
A massive wind blade, imbued with most of Wang Xiao's spiritual power, slashed out from the tip of the blade, striking the insect queen, who was struggling desperately in fear of death, with overwhelming force!
The queen insect, who was continuing her attack, could only hastily raise her forelimbs as the wind blades drew ever closer.
But it was too late...
It was all too late.
As the wind blade sliced through the insect queen, her movements froze, and an incredulous glint flashed in her compound eyes.
Then, the next second, a thin line of blood slowly appeared from its head to its abdomen.
Perhaps realizing that death was imminent, the insect queen used her last strength to utter a final curse to Wang Xiao.
"Humans... I want you... to perish with my people..."
After giving the final command to the insects in the nest, the light in the insect mother's eyes quickly dimmed, and the blood lines from her head to her abdomen continued to expand. Finally, with a tearing sound, her body was neatly split in two, and her massive body instantly crashed to the ground.
[Defeat the Abyssal Soul Claw Queen to gain 300 experience points.]
[Special Target Progress: Queen 1/1, Nest 0/1]
[Current progress of pest control: 67.8%]
Wang Xiao gasped for breath, enduring the dizziness caused by excessive mental exertion, and planted his sword in the ground to support his body.
He looked at the corpse of the insect queen, but felt no relief whatsoever.
He could sense that the atmosphere in the entire mall changed drastically the moment he killed the insect queen.
The insectoid monsters, which had been attacking frantically, suddenly stopped and looked up in the direction of the dead insect queen, letting out a mournful howl.
Immediately afterwards, they completely abandoned their defenses and began to launch suicidal attacks on the humans around them.
"They've gone mad!" someone shouted in terror.
"Be careful! Don't let them get close!" Qin Huai'an's voice came from downstairs.
The death of the queen insect undoubtedly drove the entire swarm into complete madness.
Those forcibly catalyzed insectoid monsters, nest-guarding insectoids, and even larvae that have not yet fully hatched are using every means to launch a final counterattack against humanity.
They no longer cooperate as they did when the queen was alive, and instead rely entirely on instinct to frantically bite, ram, and kill humans.
It was as if they were about to drag all the humans in Wansheng Shopping Mall down into an abyss of death along with them.
In an instant, an unprecedented bloody melee erupted throughout the Wansheng Shopping Mall.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao straightened up with sheer willpower, drew his sword, and ordered the crowd, "The queen insect has been slain! This is the insects' final counterattack! Everyone who can still move, do not panic! Immediately tighten the defensive line! Cover each other! Do not be separated from one group!"
After saying that, Wang Xiao plunged into the defensive line and began to work with the other forces downstairs to clean up the insects that were launching a full-scale counterattack.
Finally, with the desperate resistance of all sides, this frenzied battle lasted for nearly half an hour.
A large number of mutated insect monsters were killed, their corpses piled up like mountains, and blood soaked the mall floor.
After Qin Huai'an personally tore off the head of the last nest-guarding insectoid, the gunfire in the mall gradually subsided, leaving only some newly hatched Abyss Soul Claws and some insectoid monsters and insectoids that had not yet completed their evolution, still making futile attacks.
Just as the insects were about to be completely eradicated and the insect nest built in the Wansheng Shopping Mall was about to be destroyed by everyone, Xue Wu's anxious voice came through the communicator in Wang Xiao's bag.
"Boss! Boss! Please respond! Please respond! There's a special situation!"
Wang Xiao pressed the switch and replied, "I'm here, speak."
Xue Wu said anxiously, "The advance team is surrounded by insects! Xiong Sanzhuang and an 'Iron Wall' ability user have broken out and are asking us for help!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao's previously relieved breath rose again: "Where is Xiong Sanzhuang?"
"He's right next to me. I'll have him explain the situation to you right away."
After taking the communicator from Xue Wu, Xiong Sanzhuang, his face covered in blood, hurriedly said, "Boss, this is Xiong Sanzhuang! We've encountered the commander of the swarm! The advance team is currently under heavy attack from the swarm, and there are so many of them! They won't last much longer!"
Upon hearing that the advance team had also encountered the commander of the swarm, Wang Xiao's expression changed drastically.
How could this be? The Queen Insect was clearly on our side, so why did Xiong Sanzhuang say that the advance team also encountered the commander of the swarm?
Could it be that there is more than one queen insect? But is that even possible?
Qin Huai'an, who was directing the team to further clear out the remaining insects, saw Wang Xiao's grave expression and stepped forward, asking, "What's going on?"
Wang Xiao slowly took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and said in a deep voice:
"Xiong Sanzhuang has brought Feng Ye's men to our side to ask for help, saying that they also have a commander of the insect swarm on their side."
Qin Huai'an shook his head immediately, saying, "That's impossible! Didn't you kill the Insect Queen yourself? How could she be with the advance team?"
Wang Xiao frowned and said, "I also really want to know what's going on, but right now the most urgent task is to send a group of people to support the advance team."
"It seems the cleanup work here will have to be left to you."
If what Xiong Sanzhuang said is true, then he will have to go there himself to find out what exactly happened on the advance team's side...
Whether it's for the members of the search team or the survivors who accepted the hotel's commission, a team of five hundred people cannot simply be left unattended.
After all, this operation was launched in the name of Peace Hotel. As the initiator, if Peace Hotel does not take action at this time, who will trust Peace Hotel and cooperate deeply with Peace Hotel in the future?
Therefore, regardless of the reason, as the owner of the Peace Hotel, he had to make this trip in person at this moment.
