Dark Blood Age

Chapter 153

Chapter 153

There were too many insects at the front of the car. Chu YunSheng could not get through the swarm at all.

He quickly stored the explosives inside the storage talisman, activated his armour, and then jumped on the top of one insect’s back and leapt onto the roof of a building nearby.

Even though he did not think that he could survive, the survival instinct still made him prepare everything he could to make it possible.

He still had one last resort.

A golden-shelled insect.

His plan was to hollow out a small area on the golden-shelled insect’s back, and hide inside its back while riding it all the way to the other side of the river.

The golden-shelled Insect’s body was huge. Just its head alone, it was already as big as a bus, and its main body was two times bigger than its head!

The shells on its body were divided into three sections. There were gaps between each section. The larva-like long transparent worms, which he had seen before, often stayed in those gaps.

However, the gaps were too narrow for Chu Yunsheng. So Chu Yunsheng had to make it wider and deeper. But he could not remove too much. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to live long.

On the third floor of the building, Chu Yunsheng summoned the golden-shelled insect that he had sealed for a long time.

When it was summoned, it instantly took up the entire space on the third floor. It even broke the third floor’s ceiling and walls.

Chu Yunsheng instantly felt a bizarre spiritual connection between him and the golden shelled-insect.

This was probably Feng Yin Ling, Seal Mark or Seal Token, that the book was talking about!

Then a strange thing happened. Just when the spiritual connection between him and the monster was established, he instantly felt that there was a mysterious force calling the golden-shelled insect, making it move instinctively towards the city centre.

Chu Yunsheng was shocked. He had experiences in sealing monsters and summoning monsters before, but he had never encountered the same situation like this before.

However, compared to the seal mark, this mysterious force was very weak. As soon as he realised what it did, he immediately infused Yuan Qi into the seal mark to enhance the control of the golden-shelled insect.

The gaps between the shells were closed most of the time. They would be opened only when the golden-shelled insects released the larva-like long transparent worms.

It meant that Chu Yunsheng still had to make a slight adjustment, so he would be able to see the road ahead while riding the golden-shelled insect.

Time was pressing, all Chu Yunsheng could think of was to make the space as quick as possible, so his method was very rough.

Luckily, the golden-shelled insect was restrained by the seal mark. Otherwise, it would have probably screamed in pains very loud.

The space was made underneath the shell in the middle section of the golden-shelled insect’s back. Chu Yunsheng also used his sword to poke a hole on the side that was facing the front. This hole was going to be his only view of the outside.

After he prepared everything, he activated the armour and hid inside the golden-shelled insect. He then ordered the golden-shelled insect to destroy two walls, and returned back to the street that was filled with insects.

The energy shield had the ability to block all scent from spreading out. So as long as he didn’t make any big movements, red-shelled insects shouldn’t be able to notice him.

Although the golden-shelled insect was much bigger than the red-shelled insects, it was still very difficult for the golden-shelled insect to move on the street, when all other insects were moving in a different direction. It often needed to stop in the middle of the street to let the big crowd pass first.

The golden-shelled insect had the ability to dig into the ground. However, whenever Chu Yunsheng tried to dig a tunnel, a strange force would try to push the golden-shelled insect out constantly.

‘This is probably the reason why the golden-shelled Insects haven’t been able to dig their ways into the city.’ Chu Yunsheng thought.

Arriving at the riverside, and seeing the situation in the river, Chu Yunsheng hesitated.

The Yangtze River was already hard enough to cross, now that so many red-shelled insects and some golden-shelled insects all squeezed together on the slimy substances that were floating on the top of the river, it made the crossing even harder!

However, there was no way back. He had already spent almost 20 minutes arriving at the riverside, and he only had less than 40 minutes left to blow up the tombs.

He carefully controlled the golden-shelled insect to push away the red-shelled insects that blocked his way, making it look like an “accident”.

When he crossed ? of the river, the surface of the river suddenly turned foggy. Soon, the entire river was covered with black fog.

Chu Yunsheng had heard some rumours about the monsters in the river. It was said that when there was a back fog on the river surface, the monsters in the river would often appear.

He gritted his teeth very hard. He had already gotten this far, he couldn’t afford to be eaten by some kinds of underwater monsters. So he started to control the golden-shelled insect to speed up his pace. More and more monsters were pushed into the river by the golden-shelled insect.

Soon, he could finally see the other side of the river in the fog!

But it was at this moment, he heard something breaking out of the river behind him. He couldn’t see it clearly because it was covered with black fog. Moreover, he also didn’t have the time to see it!

He didn’t want to see, but it did not mean that he wouldn’t be affected by it.

Even if Chu Yunsheng sped up his pace, he still couldn’t run faster than the big waves. The golden-shelled insect was thrown into the sky and fell on top of a group of red-shelled insects.

At the same time, other golden-shelled insects that were about to cross the river, all spit fire at the place where the waves came from.

Through the hole in the shell, and with the help of fires that were spat by the other golden-shelled insects, Chu Yunsheng vaguely saw a thick, long, and black neck coming out of the water. On top of the long neck, there was a huge head that had many long spikes on it, and every spike had also many thorns. The monster’s whole head looked like a shuttlecock lost all its feathers.

‘Is this the water monster that people talked about?’ This thought flashed through Chu Yunsheng’s head.

He immediately ordered the golden-shelled insect to get up and run. He wasn’t willing to die like this, he wanted to die with the tombs!

However, it was too late. The water monster lowered its head and blew a gust of cold wind towards the swarm of insects that Chu Yunsheng was in.

Within a split second, an area of roughly 50 meters in diameter was instantly frozen on top of the river. It extended all the way to the riverside that Chu Yunsheng wanted to get to.

The conflict between the water monster and the insects broke out instantly. Many red-shelled insects jumped towards the water monster, using their sharp legs to stab its skin.

Some red-shelled insects couldn’t get to the water monster, but they all spat the corrosive liquid at it to assist the golden-shelled Insects’ fire attack. The ice elemental energy, the fire elemental energy, and the corrosive liquid were flying everywhere inside the black fog.

Chu Yunsheng was almost frozen. Although he had the armour and the shield, it was still extremely freezing for him.

The golden-shelled insect was completely frozen. But Chu Yunsheng could feel that it was still alive. However, if it wanted to break out of the ice just by itself, it would take a lot of time. But time was something that Chu Yunsheng didn’t have.

So Chu Yunsheng immediately transferred more Ben Ti Yuan Qi to help it recover itself.

“Boom!”

Chu Yunsheng quickly ordered the golden-shelled insect to spit out fire to break the ice. They then quickly left the place, where the fight was still happening.

The ground on the other side of the river was covered with slimy substances. The soil under it was no longer visible to anyone.

The first tomb was about a hundred meters away from the river, and that was Chu Yunsheng’s first target.

He had brought 10 bombs in total. His mission was to destroy the first three tombs, which were the nearest to the river. Other than those tombs, it was no longer his problem.

The giant tombs could swallow any kind of air strikes. No one knew how the insects achieved it, but that was not Chu Yunsheng’s concerns. His job was to destroy them. He didn’t need to go inside the tombs to do it, he could just keep the bombs close to the tombs. Even if it couldn’t destroy them, as long as the explosions were able to disable their anti-air ability, that was also fine.

Looking at his watch, he had less than 20 minutes left. He didn’t know how bad the situations were over the other three districts, but from the situation in the Western District, he could tell that it was not very optimistic.

When the golden-shelled insect stepped onto the slimy ground, he instantly noticed that the mysterious force he was trying to suppress earlier on increased several times stronger all of sudden. If it weren’t for the fact that he was concentrating on controlling the golden-shelled insect, the golden-shelled insect would have probably already turned around and started to run towards the city.

10 meters, 30 meters, 50 meters....

He was getting closer and closer to the tomb.

He used a lot of energy to suppress the mysterious force, and forced the golden-shelled insect to move toward the direction, where he wanted to go.

A lot of red-shelled insects had run past them and rushed towards The Yangtze River.

A few minutes later, he finally approached the first tomb.

The tomb was as big as a hill. It had a dark red coloured surface, and it was covered with tubes and tentacles. It also had many bulges on it. Chu Yunsheng didn’t know what was inside those bulges, but he was sure that it was definitely something he did not like.

Some of those tubes were constantly producing slimy substances. Some of the tubes often produced many cocoon-like organisms from time to time. Chu Yunsheng could tell that the cocoon-like organisms had something inside because they were constantly squirming.

After ordering the golden-shelled insect to carefully move closer to the tomb, Chu Yunsheng decided to use his sword to make a hole in the tomb’s wall. He wanted to set the bomb to explode 20 minutes later, and then squeeze the bomb into the hole he made.

All the monsters just kept trying to rush towards the riverside. No one seemed to notice this strange golden-shelled insect’s movement. Chu Yunsheng thought that it was a perfect time to do it, so he immediately stabbed the sword into the tomb.

It was surprisingly easy to stab into the tomb’s wall.

However, in the next second, he quickly took back the sword and hid into the gap again. Because when he tried to slice open the tomb, all the insects around the golden-shelled insect suddenly stopped. They all turned around and looked at the golden-shelled insect...
