Chapter 167 After the Swarm

The camp returned to silence again. Whether it was the rustling sound of crawling on the ground or the flapping of wings in the air, they had already gone away. Even the silence that had appeared from time to time around no longer appeared. The rushing insect swarm seemed to have made the sound of the entire forest stagnant, and after the crossing, there was only a dead silence.

"Crash", the crisp sound of crystal shattering broke the silence and made the air around start to flow again. Pannis was too lazy to use the temperature to soften the resin barrier, so he simply smashed the closed object outside the tree hole with one punch. He was the first to drill out of his room and hung upside down on the branch and shouted: "Everything comes out, the insect storm is over, Vivian reopens the defensive magic circle as soon as possible. Now everyone is busy, come on, hope it can end as soon as possible."

"If you think too much, that's impossible." Her Majesty the elegant Queen would not break the resin layer as roughly as Panis. Instead, according to normal procedures, softened the resin and teared the barrier and drilled it out, shook her head and said, "Anyway, the dinner is over. Everyone should come out to work. There should be a chance to sleep for a while tonight."

"What happened? What exactly is the insect storm? Are they the insects just now?" The girls crawled out of their hiding places one after another and followed the other demigods to the ground. But as soon as they landed, they couldn't help but show a strange look on their faces. Catherine said in a dry voice: "Are these... the traces left by the insect storm?"

The girls finally knew why Penis would rather hang upside down in the air, and why Her Majesty the Queen would rather sit on the side of the branch. At this time, they would rather not jump off the ground and look around. The expressions on the faces of other demigod teammates were also quite wonderful. Everyone should be in the same mood because the environment on the ground was really not very beautiful.

The ground within the camp area had been cleaned up by everyone, and the weeds and dead leaves were swept out of the camp. The dark brown ground was exposed, and the originally wet soil was roasted by Vivian and became warm and dry. Even if you sit directly on it, you won’t feel uncomfortable. But now, the dry ground has disappeared, and the ground is covered with thick layers of insect corpses, and step on it. The crisp sound of the cracked shell and the dull sound of the insect belly being trampled, sounding like a sense of disgust. I lowered my head to look at my feet. Half of my feet were trapped in layers of insect corpses. Some dead but not stiff insects were twisting under people’s feet, as if they were still alive.

Not only on the ground, the stove and wooden table were also not spared. The stove was already filled with insect corpses, and the burning flames were forcibly suppressed by the insects with their bodies. The insects were burned to ashes, and the air was filled with a strong burnt smell. The wooden platform used as a table was also covered with dead insects, and even the plates that everyone used before were buried in them. Thinking that they had eaten on the same plate before, people couldn't help but feel the urge to vomit.

Adventurers are almost afraid of bugs, and at most they are afraid of one of them like Freya. In previous adventures, the girls also fought with bugs countless times. Logically, they should have been used to similar scenes, but the number of different can sometimes lead to essential differences. The hundreds of thousands of bug corpses in front of them are really shocking. Seeing insects of different sizes and ferocious appearances piled up together, twisting and twitching, no matter how strong the psychological quality is, it is probably difficult to accept.

"This is the worm storm." Flar struggled psychologically on the treetops for a while, and finally returned to the ground. However, before jumping down, Her Majesty the Queen took out a pair of leather boots from her backpack and put them on. The original leaf shoes were almost barefoot, and she didn't want to step into the pile of insects like that. Flar, who had changed his shoes, not only returned to the ground by himself, but also pulled the reluctant Panis down and explained to the girls: "It is a very rare natural phenomenon in the forest of death. I'm afraid that only Panis and I have seen it among the people present. No, Dilly, you should have seen it too."

"Well, I've seen it too." The Scorpion-tailed Lion is the only member who still relies on the tree. However, no one has any objection to this. After all, the Scorpion-tailed Lion is not as good as everyone else. If it is really a problem of discomfort, it may be poisoned if it is stabbed and cut by some strange insect corpses. Instead of doing this, it's better to let him stay in the tree. Deere himself was also happy and lay on the branch and said lazily: "But that's what happened before I met you. When I first met you, I didn't have any experience. Fortunately, I ran fast enough, otherwise I might die in the insect storm."

"As you see, insect storm is actually a very dangerous phenomenon in the forest of death. Our luck is so good. If we didn't just use tower trees as a camp, we would probably have to hide in the inherent spiritual realm." Flar explained: "The cause of insect storm is still an unknown mystery. Some people think it is related to some changes in the energy of the earth vein, but there is no effective evidence to support their views. Of course, the reason is not important. What is important is the manifestation. The insect storm is manifested as insects in a certain area. Suddenly, it looks like crazy, regardless of the size of the race, and the whole person migrates to other areas. During the migration process, the insects are extremely aggressive and will actively attack any creatures encountered along the way. Where the insect swarm passes by, all other creatures will hide themselves. If they don't have time to hide, they will be gnawed by the insect swarm like this."

Flar kicked the bones a few times in the pile of corpses, revealing several bones covered by insect corpses. There was no trace of blood and flesh on the bones, and the surface was covered with cracks and defects, as if they were bitten by huge force. Flar did not touch the bones with his hands, but just kicked them away at will, continuing: "Not only do they attack other creatures, they will continue to attack each other. Of course, this attack was carried out simultaneously during the process and did not affect their migration."

"No wonder so many corpses are left on the ground." Catherine exclaimed: "How many are they? There are so many corpses left in a small area."
