Minos quickened his pace and fled back to a nearby "refuge hut". Facing the expectant eyes of his subordinates, his heart hurt.
He went out for a trip, but unfortunately he didn't bring back any good news that could make everyone feel at ease. Minos had nothing to say.
He couldn't help but begin to doubt himself and regret his original impulsiveness.
If he had endured this and stayed in Vanelon to serve the "Insect King" Abaddon, would it have been a better choice?
Things have come to this, is it still too late to regret?
Minos was confused.
At this moment, a ball of magic light suddenly appeared in front of him, with a faint red snake-shaped mark flickering inside.
"This is……"
Minos stared at the message ball and recognized the mark of Kona inside. After reading the letter, he couldn't help but look happy, raised his arms and shouted.
"Brothers! Princess Blade is here! We are saved!"
…
Hiss—bang!!
In the wasteland outside the canyon, sonic booms were heard one after another.
The hell chariot "Pioneer", with its adamantine armor shining dark blue under the reflection of the setting sun, surged forward despite being surrounded by swarms of insects!
Crack, crackle!
There was a dense banging sound outside the car, like rain hitting banana trees.
This is the insect swarm frantically hitting the tank, trying to bite through the armor.
Most of the swarming creatures have an ability called "disturbing the mind." They make noises by flapping their wings at high frequencies, making people confused and unable to maintain mental concentration.
The Gluttonous Swarm is especially good at this trick.
Connor was annoyed by the noise from the insects. She held the steering wheel with her left hand, and couldn't help but press the black button on the driver's platform with her right hand again, activated the sonic cannon, and blasted away the swarm of insects blocking the front.
Bang!!
The ghost face at the front of the car spewed out high-frequency sound waves, killing hundreds of gluttonous insects in an instant, and many more injured insects were severely crushed by the wheels the moment they landed and were crushed into pulp.
However, compared to the huge size of the insect swarm, this level of casualties is nothing at all.
The gap opened in front of the chariot was quickly filled by new swarms of insects.
"Stop firing!" Gao Fei reminded Kou Na, "There is not much demon essence left, so we need to save it to increase the speed of the car."
"Okay... you have the final say!"
Kou Na reluctantly agreed, but suddenly her expression changed and she turned the steering wheel, but it was already too late.
Boom!!
The chariot hit a boulder, shook violently, and almost overturned on the spot.
The strong impact threw Kou Na off guard from the driver's seat.
Fortunately, Gao Fei had quick eyes and quick hands and pulled her back.
Holding Kou Na tightly with his left hand, Gao Fei grabbed the steering wheel with his right hand and drove the chariot through the gravel area, making a thrilling detour close to the edge of the large pit in front, and returned to the flat road.
After escaping from the dangerous section of the road, Gao Fei saw that Kou Na still had a cute look on her face, and suddenly became very angry.
"How can you see the road? You don't have eyesight?!"
"The car windows are covered with bugs and the field of view is too narrow, how can you blame me?!" Kou Na argued aggrievedly.
Gao Fei shook his head and was speechless, silently switched to "Imitator", put on the "Mage Mask", and gave her a "Misty Sight".
After the blessing spell, Kona's vision was strengthened, and she could see clearly the road ahead through the dense swarm of insects.
"You know this kind of magic, why didn't you give me your blessing earlier? You just wanted to see me make a fool of myself, right?!"
The more Connor talked, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but use her right hand to pinch Gao Fei's thigh.
"So, if I get into a car accident, it will be your fault!"
"... Just concentrate on driving. I have never seen a woman as unreasonable as you."
"What do you mean? I can't concentrate any more, and you still have the nerve to be mean to me? You're being unreasonable!"
Kou Na felt more and more aggrieved, and the movements of her hands gradually became obscene.
"You keep groping around. How can you concentrate on driving?!"
Gao Fei couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Princess Blade's careless hand away.
"This is my way of relieving tension, please bear with it!" Kou Na's hand fumbled for it reluctantly, and suddenly she smiled mischievously: "Hey! It's so hard! It feels really tough... you kid
, you pretend to be pure on the outside, but your body is quite honest!”
Gao Fei sighed, feeling so desperate.
"What on earth have I done to sit in the same car with you!"
"If you complain again, believe it or not, I will reach in and touch you?"
Gao Fei suddenly felt a chill in his lower body. In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, he had no choice but to remain silent.
Connor was very satisfied with his obedient attitude, so she withdrew her right hand, brought it to her nose and sniffed it exaggeratedly, and then winked at him and smiled mischievously.
It wasn't until Gao Fei was so angry that he raised his fist and glared at her that the witch put away her smile and concentrated on her business.
Connor drove the car with one hand and rushed towards the entrance of the canyon surrounded by the insect swarm. She made a series of spell-casting gestures with her left hand, and through the gap in the car window, she cast an 8-level "Tornado Technique" at the area with the densest insect swarm in front of her.
"Súré!"
With a wave of her hand, Kona created a tornado column, like a huge funnel, rising from the ground and soaring upward, with the top almost touching the sky.
The storm whirled and roared.
The strong airflow blows away the bugs attached to the car windows.
Kona's eyes were solemn and she maintained her concentration on casting spells.
While the speed of the vehicle did not slow down, it surged straight forward, and at the same time, the controlled tornado advanced simultaneously, clearing the way for the chariot and blowing away the swarm of insects blocking the entrance to the canyon.
Seeing Kona controlling the storm to disperse the swarm of insects, Gao Fei nodded in appreciation.
"Tornado Technique" is very suitable for dealing with swarms of flying creatures. Connor's demonstration has proved this, but in Gao Fei's opinion, this tactic still has the potential to be improved.
At this time, a harsh buzzing sound came from behind the chariot.
Gao Fei turned around and looked.
Through the rear window, I saw a swarm of insects flying towards me.
This group of cunning gluttonous insects hid behind the chariot to take shelter from the wind. They were basically undisturbed by the storm and pursued them closer and closer.
Like a tank, the Hell Tank's armor plates are not evenly distributed.
The front and sides, which are vulnerable to attack, have thicker armor.
The rear of the car, which has a lower probability of being damaged, has thinner armor.
The insect swarm continued to bite along the way, and even the adamantine armor was gnawed away with scars, especially on the thinner rear, which had many holes the size of peas.
Gao Fei stretched out his right hand, intending to cast a spell to repair the armor, but his fingers were blocked by the car window.
"Complete Restoration Technique" requires touching the injured object in order to transmit magic power.
Separated by a reinforced crystal window and an adamantine fence, Gao Fei was unable to cast spells to repair the car.
Do you want to open the rear window?
This thought flashed through his mind.
However, seeing the demonic insects rushing towards him, Gao Fei immediately gave up this too risky idea.
Suddenly, he thought of a better way.
"Kona, you keep driving, I'll go out for a while."
After a simple explanation, Gao Fei used "Transformation Spirit Body", and his body quickly turned into an insubstantial shadow, quietly passing through the window.
