Chapter 460 Swamp City 2
"This place looks eerie, we need to be careful." Yan Jun frowned, gripping his weapon tightly.
Lin Zhi nodded, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily. "Hmm, something feels off here. Let's not get separated."
Zhang Ying looked around curiously, "Maybe there's some treasure hidden here, hehe."
As they cautiously made their way forward, they suddenly heard a loud argument coming from not far away. The three exchanged a glance and quietly approached the source of the sound. They saw a group of Zerg huddled together, with two Zerg brothers, Wang Jun and Wang Kai, in the center.
"Why do you always steal my food!" Wang Jun's face flushed red as he glared angrily at Wang Kai.
Wang Kai shrugged nonchalantly, "Who told you to run so slowly? If you're not good enough, don't expect to get anything good."
Some of the surrounding Zerg were snickering, while others wore disdainful expressions. Seeing this, Lin Zhi and the others couldn't help but wonder why the Zerg were in such chaos.
Yan Jun couldn't help but whisper, "The two brothers don't seem to have a good relationship."
Zhang Ying curled her lips, "They're probably fighting each other for survival resources. In this Zerg world, the law of the jungle is normal."
At this moment, four more insectoid siblings approached: Li Yi, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li. They seemed to have some grudge against Wang Jun and Wang Kai as well.
Li looked coldly at Wang Jun and Wang Kai, "You two should stop being so selfish. This won't do anyone any good."
Wang Jun snorted, "What's it to you? We'll handle our own affairs."
Wang Kai chimed in, "That's right, don't meddle in other people's business."
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a gigantic swamp worm suddenly sprang out from the depths of the swamp. It was enormous, reeked of a foul stench, and its open mouth was filled with sharp fangs. The surrounding insectoids panicked and scattered in all directions.
Wang Jun and Wang Kai, no longer caring about their argument, ran off in different directions. The Li siblings also hurriedly sought cover, and in the chaos, Lin Zhi and the others were also caught up in the commotion.
Yan Jun pulled Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying along, "Quickly, find a place to hide!"
They finally found a relatively safe high ground and, panting heavily, observed their surroundings. They saw the swamp worm rampaging through the swamp, devouring the insectoids that screamed in agony wherever it went.
"What should we do?" Zhang Ying asked anxiously.
Lin Zhi gritted her teeth, "We can't keep hiding from it, we have to find a way to get rid of it."
After a moment of thought, Yan Jun said, "This swamp worm is huge, but it doesn't seem very agile. We can use the swamp's terrain to trap it."
After discussing their plan, the three began to move cautiously. They searched for suitable branches and vines at the edge of the swamp, attempting to weave a large net, then lure the swamp worms closer and trap them within it.
After much effort, the large net was finally completed. Linzhi took a deep breath and threw a stone towards the swamp worms, making a crisp sound. Hearing the noise, the swamp worms immediately turned and rushed towards the sound.
"They're here! Get ready!" Yan Jun whispered.
As the swamp worm approached, the three men worked together to pull up a large net and trap it. Caught off guard, the swamp worm struggled, and its immense strength caused the net to begin to loosen.
"Quick! Secure it with vines!" Lin Zhi shouted.
The three quickly wrapped the net tightly with vines and engaged in a fierce battle with the swamp worms. Just when they were about to give up, they suddenly heard a shout: "We're here to help!"
It turned out that Li and his sister had arrived. They joined in and together they pulled hard on the vines, finally trapping the swamp worm firmly in the net.
The swamp worm struggled incessantly after being trapped, but gradually lost its strength. After the crisis was over, Wang Jun and Wang Kai came over.
Wang Jun said somewhat awkwardly, "Thank you all. If it weren't for you, we would all be dead at that guy's hands."
Wang Kai nodded, "Yes, we were wrong before, we shouldn't have kept arguing."
Li looked at them and said, "I hope you can unite in the future. In this insectoid world, only by helping each other can you survive."
Wang Jun and Wang Kai both lowered their heads and said, "We understand."
At this moment, the surrounding insectoids also gathered around, casting grateful glances at Lin Zhi and the others, as well as Li and his sister.
After this incident, the insectoid race near the swamp seemed to have become more united. Lin Zhi and the others also decided to continue exploring this insectoid world in search of a way to return to their original world.
In the days that followed, they went on many adventures with their newly acquainted Zerg companions. Sometimes, they would encounter invasions from other Zerg tribes, and they would work together to resist them; other times, they would discover mysterious ruins, from which they would obtain valuable clues and items.
Gradually, Lin Zhi discovered that this insectoid world seemed to be hiding a huge secret. By chance, they found a stone emitting a strange light in an ancient cave. The stone was covered with strange symbols, which Lin Zhi and his companions studied for a long time without any clues.
“This stone looks unusual; it might hold the key to unlocking the mystery of our return to our world,” Yan Jun said.
Zhang Ying excitedly circled the stone, saying, "Maybe it's the key to unlocking the door to time and space!"
Just as they were about to continue their in-depth study, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the cave. It turned out that Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan had arrived with a group of insectoids, who seemed to want to seize the stone.
Hua Yuan glared fiercely at Lin Zhi and the others, "We found this stone first, don't even think about keeping it for yourself!"
Zhang Yuan chimed in, "That's right, hand it over!"
Lin Zhi frowned. "We found this stone in the cave. Why should we give it to you?"
The two sides were deadlocked, and the atmosphere became tense again. Just then, the cave suddenly shook violently, as if something was about to burst out of the ground. Everyone panicked, not knowing what would happen next.
As the tremors intensified, a crack appeared in the cave ceiling, and a dazzling light shone down from it, enveloping the strange stone. A mysterious voice echoed from within the light: "Only those with true unity and courage can unlock the secrets of this stone and find their way home."
After the light faded, the symbols on the stone seemed to become clearer. Lin Zhi and the others exchanged glances with Li and his sister; they understood that this was both a test and an opportunity.
In the days that followed, Linzhi and his companions, along with their newly acquainted insectoid allies, diligently studied the symbols on the stone. They helped each other and overcame difficulties together. Finally, on a sunny day, Linzhi deciphered the meaning of the symbols and found the way to open the portal to another dimension.
The portal to another dimension slowly opened, radiating light. Lin Zhi, Yan Jun, Zhang Ying, and their Zerg brothers and sisters bid farewell one by one.
"Thank you for your companionship during this time. We will always remember this adventure," Lin Zhi said sincerely.
Wang Jun waved his hand with a smile, "Go back quickly, I hope you can find your own world." Lin Zhi, Yan Jun, and Zhang Ying walked along a winding path, surrounded by thick fog, with extremely low visibility. Suddenly, a low roar came from ahead, as if some huge creature was nearby.
"Be careful, we don't know what it is," Yan Jun said cautiously, gripping his weapon tightly.
Lin Zhi nodded, a hint of nervousness in her eyes. Zhang Ying looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
Just then, two figures vaguely appeared in the mist, gradually becoming clearer. It turned out to be the Zerg brothers, Wang Jun and Wang Kai.
"Why are you here?" Lin Zhi asked in surprise.
Wang Jun grinned: "We're patrolling around here. We came to check when we heard the noise. What about you?"
Yan Jun replied, "We are looking for some clues about the secrets of this place."
Wang Kai frowned: "This place isn't safe. There are dangerous creatures everywhere. You'd better stay with us and look out for each other."
The group nodded and continued walking. They hadn't gone far when they came to a swamp. The surface of the swamp was covered in sticky mud and emitted a pungent odor.
“This place looks very dangerous,” Zhang Ying said, covering her nose.
Wang Jun looked around: "We need to be careful not to get stuck. Staying along the edge should be safer."
As they cautiously made their way along the edge of the swamp, they suddenly heard a scream. They quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure struggling in the mud not far away.
"It's Li?!" Lin Zhi shouted and rushed over without hesitation.
Yan Jun and Zhang Ying followed closely behind, while Wang Jun and Wang Kai provided cover from behind. When they arrived, Li Yi was already mostly submerged in mud, with only his upper body visible.
"Pull me up quickly!" Li shouted in terror.
Lin Zhi reached out and grabbed Li's arm, pulling him up with all her might. Yan Jun and Zhang Ying also helped, and with great effort, they finally pulled Li out of the mud.
Li was soaked to the bone, pale-faced, and panting heavily: "Thank you... I accidentally stepped on a loose stone and fell down."
Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li also rushed over and looked at Li with concern.
"It's good that you're alright. Everyone should be more careful in the future," Li Ming said.
The group continued onward, and as they passed through a dense forest, they were suddenly attacked by a swarm of insectoids. These insectoids were enormous, with sharp claws and teeth, and they roared incessantly.
"Prepare for battle!" Yan Jun shouted, and together with the others, they charged forward.
Lin Zhi brandished her sword, engaging in fierce combat with a Zergling. Yan Jun fired at the surrounding Zerglings with his gun, bullets whistling past. Zhang Ying nimbly weaved among the Zerglings, attacking their vitals with her dagger.
Wang Jun and Wang Kai were not to be outdone; each unleashed their powerful Zerg abilities, engaging in a fierce battle with the enemy. Li Yi, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li formed a small team, cooperating with each other to fight against the Zerg.
The battle was exceptionally fierce, with both sides fighting with all their might. Lin Zhi's sword was stained with the blood of the Zerg, and he was wounded in several places, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. Yan Jun's marksmanship was precise, constantly killing Zerglings. Zhang Ying's dagger moved freely among the Zerg swarm, inflicting heavy damage on the enemy.
After a fierce battle, the group finally repelled the Zerg. They were all exhausted, but victorious smiles appeared on their faces.
"We need to find a place to rest and recover our strength. Otherwise, we won't be able to handle any further danger," Wang Jun said.
The group nodded and continued walking. After walking for a while, they came to an abandoned castle. The castle gates were tightly shut, and weeds grew all around it.
“It looks pretty safe here, let’s go inside and rest,” Yan Jun said.
The group cautiously entered the castle, which was filled with an old and worn atmosphere. They found some dilapidated tables and chairs in the castle's hall and sat down to rest.
Lin Zhi, panting heavily, said, "Today's battle was really intense; I almost didn't make it back."
Zhang Ying nodded: "Yes, but we've made it through. As long as we're united, no difficulty can defeat us."
Just then, a strange sound came from deep within the castle. Everyone immediately became alert and stood up.
"What was that sound?" Li asked nervously.
Wang Jun clenched his fist: "Whatever it is, let's go take a look."
The group cautiously walked towards the direction of the sound, passing through a long corridor and arriving at a huge room. In the center of the room was a massive swamp wall, crawling with strange creatures whose bodies shimmered with an eerie light.
"What is this?" Yan Jun asked in surprise.
Just then, the creatures on the swamp wall suddenly moved and pounced on the group. They quickly dodged and engaged in battle with the creatures.
These creatures were agile and extremely powerful. Lin Zhi wielded his sword, but it was difficult to harm them. Yan Jun fired his gun, but he could only temporarily repel them.
"What should we do?" Zhang Ying cried out anxiously.
Just as everyone was in trouble, Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan arrived. They brought some special weapons, which caused great damage to the creatures on the swamp wall.
With everyone's combined attack, the creatures on the swamp wall were finally eliminated. But the swamp wall began to emit a dazzling light, which grew stronger and stronger, making it difficult for everyone to open their eyes.
"What's with this light?" Li Ming asked loudly.
Just after the light disappeared, everyone was surprised to find that the swamp wall had vanished, replaced by a huge door.
"What's behind this door?" Lin Zhi asked curiously.
Wang Jun stepped forward and gently pushed the door. The door slowly opened, revealing a mysterious space radiating soft light.
“Let’s go in and take a look,” Yan Jun said.
With trepidation, everyone entered this mysterious space...
