Chapter 930: Arduous Battle

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

The bugs that the Bug King bred seemed to pose little threat to humans. It was hard for their mouths to break through tough leather shoes, and they had no sharp stingers to pierce through human skin. The two pairs of wings behind their back were merely decoration. Although they were poisonous, their venom was not strong.

The only decent thing about them was that their movement was quite agile - but only relative to their size. Even a child would have no problem stepping on them.

But they had two advantages which ensured that they live a very happy life on this planet called Earth.

The first was their reproduction rate. Their life cycle - from an egg, to hatching, to sexual maturity, to laying other eggs - only took twelve hours. In addition, each time they laid eggs, the eggs would number over a hundred. They were all hermaphroditic too.

The second advantage was the fact that they would eat anything. These bugs brought un-fussiness in diet to the extreme. They would happily consume any organic matter!

Their reproductive power ensured their frightening number. Coupled with their excellent appetite, anywhere they passed would turn into barren land! They would eat the trees. They would eat the grass. They would eat the insects. They would swarm and devour the cattles and sheeps. Even the worms and ants in the underground could not escape from them!

However, the MIB appeared to have prepared a countermeasure against them. Three agricultural-use helicopters flew into the area. They first sprayed pesticides around the perimeter to form a barricade, then began to spray pesticides that specifically targeted the Bugs. It seemed that this wasn't the first time the Bugs had tried to infiltrate Earth. The MIB was very experienced in dealing with them.

The speed at which the pesticides showed their effect was surprisingly quick. The pesticides did not directly kill the bugs but instead turned them berserk so that they would jump and kill each other. They would leap so high that some of them reached a meter from the ground. The MIB seemed to be thinking long-term and were trying to avoid aftermath pollution as much as possible.

Suddenly, a black shadow flew out of the barn!

The shadow was so fast that it seemed to move beyond the limit of speed. It made a shrill screeching sound as it tore through the air and tangled around the landing gear of one of the agricultural helicopters! It was only now that they saw that the black shadow was actually something that looked like the tail of a scorpion. It was black and oily. Flowing liquid was visible within it. It obviously contained a strong hydraulic force.

The agricultural helicopter pilot knew that the situation was dire so he revved the throttle to the limit in an attempt to break free. The helicopter's engine roared furiously as black smoke spewed crazily out of the exhaust, but to no avail.

The tail burst forth with a great force and pulled the agricultural helicopter back by more than 30 meters. The rotors of the helicopter collided with the outer edge of the barn and shattered. What followed was a deafening explosion.

An MIB agent had rushed too far ahead and had rather unfortunately incurred the miniscule probability of getting hit by a shattered rotor. He was flung about seven meters back and was nailed to a tree. His head was completely wrecked!

The other two agricultural helicopters increased their altitude without hesitation; they did not want to be the next target. Next, the helicopter doors opened to show the MIB agents carrying rocket launchers. The projectiles they fired into the barn were similar to smoke grenades. Instead of exploding, they kept producing a lot of white smoke.

The Bugs obviously didn't find the white smoke comfortable so the smoke grenades that fell into the barn were thrown out one by one. However,the MIB agents patiently and persistently continue to launch them. They finally drowned the barn in a sea of white smoke.

"Prepared for battle. The enemy can at most endure our newly-concocted gas for three minutes before he rushes out," said K with a serious expression.

Sheyan couldn't help himself and remarked:

"If he doesn't escape through the underground sewer, that is."

K said expressionlessly:

"The sewer system of the barn is extremely simple. Two packs of plastic explosives were enough to block it."

The sly old fox K was right. Jones only lasted for less than two minutes before he fiercely rushed out. He seemed to have changed into another form, looking like the creature from the movie "Alien". His exterior was shiny and it was more compact than before. He looked even more intimidating than before.

The MIB agents who were waiting for him immediately pulled the trigger. However, the target did not burst into pieces as they expected.

When the shots from the energy weapon hit the thick outer shell of Jones, they only left a little bit of scorch marks. At least 90% of the force was reflected away, causing a series of explosions around Jones.

K's heart sank. He did not expect the energy weapons he was so confident in to be ineffective!

With a wave of his hands, twelve strong MIB agents, each towering over two meters in height, rushed up while holding riot shields. However, compared to the force of the high-tech weapons, human physique was so much weaker! The MIB anti-riot squad fell down like bowling pins amidst Jones' ferocious roar.

At this time, the lower part of Jones's body got harder, bigger, and longer!(ED: Hehe. Sorry couldn't help it.) His final form was like a large tentacle with a huge hollow and flexible cup shaped like a lotus head at its end. The tentacle drew a projectile arc in the air and snapped onto the head of an MIB agent!

The agent struggled madly. His distress, fear and helplessness were evident from the screams which intermittently escaped.

The cup squirmed rapidly to swallow the MIB agent whole. The agent was flung around a few times and then thrown out. He had turned into a large brownish red cocoon. No one knew what would hatch from it.

Jones suddenly rushed straight towards K like a tank, brushing aside eight people along the way! K's expression turned dark. He brandished his weapon and violently launched a string of shots. Unfortunately, almost all the energy were reflected. The explosions from the reflected energy shots almost shot down one of the agricultural helicopters in the air!

Jones smirked and said:

"Stop resisting and come here, K. Come into my body and be my child. I'll take good care of you."

But at this time, Sheyan leapt and slashed at Jones's lower body. Jones was angered and immediately swept a claw at Sheyan horizontally from left to right.

Jones's giant claw actually had three toes and had a horrible purplish-black glow on it. Who knows how many lives it had harvested.

Jones' giant claw whistled towards Sheyan, attacking his upper, middle and lower body at the same time! Sheyan used his foot to pick up a scattered riot shield to protect himself and braced for impact with a shout! Jones' claw slammed into the thick riot shield with a bang, leaving three deep dents in it! Every dent was surrounded by cracks. The shield looked like it would completely shatter under a slight touch.

Even with the protection of the riot shield, Sheyan did not escape unscathed. The impact from the claw hit him and flung his whole body back, making him bleed profusely!

The biggest difference between contestants and ordinary person were evident then. Sheyan gasped a few times, grabbed two riot shields and threw himself at Jones again!

If one riot shield was not enough, what about two?

This time, Jones' claw attack was finally resisted by Sheyan.

However, at that moment, the giant cocoon from before started cracking.

A savage Bugman that seemed to have been stripped of its outer skin appeared from the cocoon. It uttered a string of unintelligible sounds. Its figure was as imposing as a bear, towering at over three meters tall. It was covered in black hair and also a body armour formed from solidified body fluids. Strong muscles swelled in its body.

The Bugman looked around and charged over. It immediately raised its claw to launch an attack.

However, an emotionless shot severed its gigantic arm!

A dark brown body fluid dripped from the wound. The severed arm flew in the air and landed in front of an MIB agent. He saw that the arm had large bones and had black, twisted fingers with sharp long nails. It looked very sinister.

The MIB agent was about to pick the severed arm up but the muscles of the arm suddenly twitched. The arm jumped up and grabbed the throat of the MIB agent tightly. The agent's face turned purple from suffocation as he frantically tried to pull the arm free from his neck. His scream was suffocated inside his throat.

Many people rushed over to help but the arm showed no sign of loosening, as if it was welded to his neck.

At the moment, Sheyan was also in a crisis. Jones the Bug King had not forgotten about him. A heavy blow from Jones once again destroyed Sheyan's shield and flung him away. Jones' elusive tail tore away a large piece of flesh from his shoulder in the process. Blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain!

Fortunately, Sheyan managed to dodge Jones' follow-up attack by rolling on the ground. The strike slammed into the earth, forming a pit half a meter deep and caused sand and stones to fly everywhere. Sheyan took the opportunity to take a breather and shouted:

"Try using other weapons!"
