I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

The insect swarm burned under the fierce sunlight, and the black demonic tide suddenly turned into a sea of ​​fire, which reminded Lao Eggplant of the scene he had seen in documentaries during the locust plague years, when fire was used to drive away the insects.

However, he saw that these bugs were actually moving.

On the outermost layer, the swarm of insects, tortured by the sun, slowly squirmed and flew higher into the sky.

The surface of those bugs has been burned with flames and is gradually peeling off, falling in the wind like debris from fireworks.

But behind those insects, the same kind that have not been exposed to the sun are soaring up against the scattered ashes.

Even when the ashes dispersed, the sun was still fierce and burned those who came after it, but these insects flew in the direction of the sun like moths to the flame.

"This is......"

Stone looked around and felt a little incredible when he saw this scene.

"They're trying to block out the sun."

Shia quickly saw the movements of the insect swarm.

In her era, [Thousand Foot] was no longer a threatening demon tide due to the existence of the Spirit Torch, but now, its numerical advantage has become the biggest weapon that can restrain the sun.

Those swarms of insects continued to surge and spread toward the sky in the blazing fire. They actually formed a barrier in a short period of time, blocking the sunlight.

The dark clouds gradually spread towards the fortress, accompanied by blazing flames.

Even Shia had to admit that the sacrificial spirit of these swarms was worthy of recognition.

If it were a monster like a winter wolf, or a disease-like wave like the plague, it would probably be difficult to resist the fierce sunlight, so we would have to take a detour.

But the insect swarm is the largest in number. Even if they sacrifice millions of their kind, they still move straight forward.

In fact, these bugs do not have any fearless spirit to fight forward and succeed. They are just victims and wretches controlled by the will of the lord.

In order to defeat these insect swarms, they must make their lord retreat, or kill the lord directly.

But Shia also knew very well that [Senzu] still existed even in her era, which meant that they must not have been able to solve the root of the problem in this era.

"The lord of [Thousand Legs] is not the only one. During the long breeding period, they will give birth to a queen of insects, and they will continue to hatch new swarms of insects. That is [Thousand Legs], the lord of the demonic tide. But when the years pass, the insects The queen will also grow old and die. When the lord dies, the insect swarm will give birth to new queens, endlessly. This is the reason why the number of [Thousand Legs] is huge and they can't be killed."

Shia whispered.

Even if they can accurately find the master of the insect swarm this time and use decapitation tactics to eliminate him, they will only be relieved for a moment. Soon, new lords will be born among the insect swarms and continue to attack.

This is also a form of despair.

Lu Tan frowned as he looked at the swarm of insects that were gradually blocking the sun.

When the shadow returned to the earth again, the insect swarm began to attack the fortress again. Artillery fire soon lost its effect. In the face of sheer numbers, fire suppression had no effect.

The swarm of insects has already swamped the several sentry towers near the front.

The sentry towers that were still lit with torches were instantly swarmed by a black swarm of insects.

At this time, the live broadcast cut to the perspective of the players stationed in this guard tower.

Before the player had time to leave the muzzle, he saw the insect hit the wall with a thud. The chitinous shell cracked due to the high-speed impact, and the turbid slurry splashed and fell on the player's face, slightly blocking the camera.

He immediately wiped his face, making his perspective a little clearer.

More bugs poured in through the cannon. They struggled and twisted their bodies to get into the guard tower.

With a sword strike, the player next to him raised his sword and chopped off the head of the insect at the front. The terrifying creature twitched twice and fell to the ground without making any sound.

But more bugs keep coming.

In fact, the players all heard a heart-stopping rustling sound, and the entire sentry tower began to tremble slightly and shake.

The swarms of insects piled up on the sentry tower, and their weight exceeded the load limit of the sentry tower building, making the structure begin to become fragile.

At the same time, some insects began to eat the walls of the sentry tower. The concrete masonry was gnawed one by one. When the mouthparts of the insects were smoothed out, another one was replaced. As long as there is enough time, these insect swarms will inevitably destroy this building. The guard tower was completely destroyed.

This tense first-person scene was watched by the audience.

Zheng Li didn't dare to express his anger. This immersive feeling made him feel as if he had also come to this desperate situation inside the sentry tower.

He saw the players from the main perspective constantly swinging their swords, trying to kill the incoming bugs, but there were too many bugs, and the desperate monsters quickly occupied all corners of the field of vision.

One player fell down and was eaten by several bugs, screaming in pain. Another player was knocked down by bugs. The sharp mouthparts were inserted directly into the brain from the eyes, sucking the white brains and bone marrow. .

The fight between man and monster is thrilling, and a single thought can mean the difference between life and death.

Zheng Li couldn't bear to watch. He knew very well that in this situation, these sentry towers in the front were cannon fodder and would inevitably be sacrificed.

Without a spiritual torch, the endless monsters are enough to break one's will.

Boom——

With a loud noise, the sentry tower finally collapsed, and the player from the main perspective was overwhelmed by the endless swarm of insects, and finally fell into darkness.

Near Higurashi Town, in the quagmire that had been transformed, the players who had just died were resurrected.

The feeling of being bitten by insects is still spreading throughout my body. Although the pain has been reduced, this feeling is still unforgettable.

The sea of ​​insects that blocked the sun and kept burning had arrived in front of the main fortress.

With the last shells exhausted, humans have only their own hands left to fight against these monsters.

But contrary to the situation, the players no longer feel desperate.

Because at this time, the only thoughts in their minds are how to survive and how to defeat the enemy. More importantly, these players have no time to think about the macro aspect.

These are what Lu Tiao and the others need to consider.

"At this rate, this place will turn into ruins in less than half a day."

Stone judged that this place has been constructed and transformed by players, and has fortifications and development levels that transcend the times. If it cannot sustain it until the end of the blood moon, what will happen to the residents of other places in the Kingdom of Night? Stone couldn't even imagine what kind of tragedy he would experience.

Shia remained silent. She knew that these were the sufferings she would surely experience in her foreign land. This suffering would last for thousands of years and take away the lives of countless people.

Nothing she did could change her destiny, and everything she did was in vain.

However, what she saw before her eyes still touched her heart.

Even if fate cannot be changed...

Shia whispered softly. She took a step forward and came to the front of the observation tower, facing the vanguard of the insect wave.

She raised her right hand.
