Chapter 578 The Rotting Corpses Approach
Hearing the commotion ahead, the two little demons immediately peered forward. Sure enough, not far from the front of the group, a fierce insect demon suddenly appeared and gently landed on a tree branch.
It's friendly forces!
The two little demons widened their eyes immediately. In order to alert their brother in the distance and make him run away, they quickly made warnings, such as slitting their necks with their hands.
However, as they continued performing these actions, coupled with their ugly faces, they actually resembled a threat.
The ferocious insect spirit seemed to have received their warning, and after a short while, it jumped off the tree. However, the corpses had already spotted the ferocious insect spirit and immediately began to give chase.
Oops!
After following the corpse into action, the two little demons suddenly realized that if the corpse chased after the ferocious insect spirit in the direction it was fleeing, it would most likely end up in the insect nest, which would expose their insect nest.
This is not possible!
The two little demons immediately looked worried, but they had no choice but to follow the main group forward.
Hopefully, that monstrous insect was clever enough not to run towards the camp.
.........
The ferocious insect spirit eventually fled to the insect nest, but it was much faster than the main force of the rotting corpses. It would take the rotting corpses some time to track it down.
After returning, the ferocious insect spirit did not stand still. Instead, it quickly burrowed into the insect nest and relayed the news of the zombie attack to everyone.
"Those guys have already jumped over the group of dead skeletons and are exploring our way."
"There are a lot of them, more than we killed in the passage last time. In addition, there are three special rotting corpses."
"The strongest of these three rotting corpses is the one walking in front; he's probably the leader."
"The other two aren't very strong, they're at the very back of the group, but they're very arrogant. They even made a throat-slitting gesture at me. If a fight breaks out, I'll be the first to chop them down."
After listening to the story told by the ferocious insect spirit, the insects surrounding him were all speechless and stood there dumbfounded, somewhat bewildered by the invasion of the rotting corpse.
It's not that they're afraid. Although the little demons can be a bit mischievous, they're no slouch when it comes to fighting.
What truly left them helpless was Lin Tian's instructions. After all, before Lin Tian left, he had told them to hide well and not to clash with those rotting corpses.
Lin Tian's words were like a royal decree to the lesser demons. A few demons might misunderstand, but most would not dare to disobey.
Therefore, during this period, they focused on their internal development and did not cause any trouble.
But instead of going to find the rotting corpse, it has now come knocking on their door. What should they do?
To fight would be to disobey Lin Tian's orders.
If we don't fight, the enemy will attack right up to our doorstep again. They'll find our position sooner or later.
Whether to fight or not lingered in the minds of the demons. Just when they were at a loss, a powerful voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"beat!"
Although the voice was similar in tone to that of the insect demons, it was deeper and more resonant, making it sound very reliable.
The owner of that voice quickly emerged from the crowd and stood before the demons.
The creature that suddenly appeared was also an insect demon, but it did not inherit the characteristic of other insect demons being short. Instead, it was very tall, nearly two meters tall, almost a full body taller than the other insect demons.
As an insect demon, it naturally needs a shell, and this guy has a huge white carapace, like a giant cockroach shell that has been painted. In addition, the rest of his body is also grayish-white.
Besides the cockroach shell, he also has two long cockroach antennae, just like a cockroach. Combined with the belt on his waist and the two large swords in his hands, he really does have the feel of an ancient general.
In summary, this guy is a giant cockroach-man, only more ferocious and possessing the aura of a warrior than a sleazy cockroach.
The burly insect-man who suddenly appeared was a new companion to the insect nest, just like the Spider Puppet, the Insect Captain.
Given the size and attire of the Insect Captain, his strength is naturally not weak, so his status in the Insect Nest is relatively high, and his words carry some weight.
"Fight! We definitely have to fight! They're practically at our doorstep, how can we not fight!"
The insect captain immediately launched into a fight, clearly demonstrating that among the many hesitant lesser demons, he was the one most able to identify the needs and knew best what to do at the moment.
The Insect Captain spoke decisively, and with his tall stature, he quickly persuaded many wavering insect demons. However, some lesser demons still felt it was inappropriate.
"Captain Insect, aren't you usually the most ardent advocate of etiquette? This retreat was ordered by the King, and you..."
"His Majesty did not order us to wait to die. If we do not attack now, the initiative will be in their hands. If they attack later, we will be put on the defensive."
"As for etiquette... if the king blames me, I will apologize with a bundle of thorns on my back when he returns. I would never sit idly by and wait to die."
"If we strike now, we can keep others out, and the safety of the insect hive will also be guaranteed."
The demons all felt that what the Insect Captain said made some sense, mainly because they really didn't have any other options at the moment.
After a brief assembly, led by the Insect Captain, the demons quickly set off to intercept the approaching corpses.
...............
"Peter Parker!"
"You need to think of something quickly!"
"Aren't you Spider-Man? Spider-Men are all very smart!"
Returning to the horde of corpses, they were getting closer and closer to the insect nest as the horde advanced, much to the anxiety of the two little demons mixed among them.
However, after a lot of frantic efforts, they couldn't come up with any useful solutions and could only watch helplessly as the horde of corpses advanced, like an incompetent husband in an action movie watching his wife being humiliated by his boss.
"I can't do anything about it! Do you think the two of us losers can stop the zombie horde?"
"We couldn't stop them, but..."
"and many more!"
Suddenly, the Spider Master abruptly stopped the Insect Demon. His expression turned serious, and his eyes sharpened.
"What's wrong........"
The ferocious insect spirit was completely bewildered by his appearance and asked blankly.
"There's murderous intent all around!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!!!
Almost the instant the Spider Puppet finished speaking, several whooshing sounds suddenly came from the air. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a large number of high-speed arrows wrapped in green light, shooting towards the horde of corpses.
The primary targets were the leading high-level corpse and the two incongruous corpses at the back.
not good! ! !
