Chapter 206: Corpse Buddha Cockroaches’ Riot
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Just as Lin Yan thought, not long after he returned to the camp, he heard a commotion in the poisonous fog outside. Not long after, scattered people or teams escaped from the poisonous fog.
“F*ck! These Corpse Buddha Cockroaches have gone crazy again!”
“Suddenly, there’s a riot. I wonder what happened!”
“That’s right. I wonder how many unlucky people didn’t escape…”
More and more people escaped, but the riot in the poisonous fog continued to erupt.
Sitting in the camp, one could see the indistinct figures of countless Corpse Buddha Cockroaches in the poisonous fog.
They couldn’t get out of the poisonous fog, so they lingered at the intersection of the poisonous fog and the camp, hissing one after another.
Everyone in the camp came out to watch the commotion. They pointed at the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches and mocked them from time to time.
Lin Yan also found a spot. He frowned slightly and stared at the Corpse Buddha Cockroach group in front of him.
“That huge Corpse Buddha Cockroach clearly has an extremely high status in the Corpse Buddha Cockroach group.
“The moment it saw me, it began to attack me. Even if I was alone, it mobilized a large number of ferocious Corpse Buddha Cockroaches.
“If I were a Corpse Buddha Cockroach, how would I teach these ignorant humans a lesson when I know that I can’t get out of the poisonous fog?”
Lin Yan’s mind raced. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He bent down and placed his ear on the ground to listen. His expression instantly changed.
“Not good! These Corpse Buddha Cockroaches are only distracting our attention. They’re digging underground!”
This exclamation shocked all the genius seeds and prefecture capital experts present. They also followed Lin Yan’s example and bent down to listen, their expressions changing rapidly.
There were weak but frequent excavations underground. From the sounds and movements, it was obvious that many empty holes had been dug underground!
“Let’s go!”
Lin Yan shouted and took the lead. He ran straight to the nail ladder and rushed up.
The others naturally quickly took their belongings and left the camp to run up.
Not long after everyone climbed up the cliff, they saw the camp below suddenly tremble. Like someone who had stepped on empty air, the right side sank down, and then the entire camp sank layer by layer. With a violent sound, it was as if it was swallowed by a ruthless huge mouth underground and completely turned into ruins.
The strong change in the airflow covered the originally non-poisonous area with a thick poisonous fog again.
“These animals are really ruthless!”
“They’re quite ruthless to themselves. How many Corpse Buddha Cockroaches will die this time!”
“Damn animals! I didn’t even have time to take out the Spirit Marrows I just collected!”
“That’s right! I just bought a new mattress!”
In fact, when the camp was first established, someone had considered the problem of Corpse Buddha Cockroach hollowing out the camp from underground.
However, the commotion caused by the digging was not small. The people in the camp would definitely be able to hear it. With the strength of everyone above the Tough Realm, they would definitely be able to escape. At most, they would lose their wealth.
On the contrary, to dig out the foundation of such a large camp, who knew how many Corpse Buddha Cockroaches would be digging underground.
Once the camp fell, these Corpse Buddha Cockroaches would almost not be able to escape. There might be more casualties than the prey.
Therefore, everyone felt that Corpse Buddha Cockroaches would not do such a stupid thing.
Unexpectedly, the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches really made a move this time!
The camp under the rock wall was destroyed. Fortunately, other than the unlucky ones who slept like dead pigs, no one was injured. Everyone climbed up the rock stratum and quickly returned to the second camp on the cliff.
“Wait! There’s also a tremor below!”
The few of them leaned over and listened. Their expressions changed again. “F*ck! They’re digging here too!”
“Are these Corpse Buddha Cockroaches crazy? Do they want to die?!”
Everyone cursed and hurriedly fled from the camp. When they were hundreds of meters away, they saw the ground of the camp begin to tremble slightly. Then, not long after, it collapsed like the camp under the rock wall.
Everyone wanted to cry, but no tears came out. This camp was not like the temporary camp under the rock wall. There were many people’s personal belongings stored inside. Now that it had sunk into the ground, they would probably not be able to recollect them!
“Damn it, Corpse Buddha Cockroach. Damn it, damn it!”
“Beasts are beasts. What are they after?!”
“My Spirit Marrows, the armor I just bought!”
Smoke and dust mixed with the poisonous fog scattered in all directions, floating past the changing faces of the group below.
Lin Yan coughed and lowered his head. It was better to wait for a while before summoning people. At the very least, he couldn’t let others know that it was because of him that the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches had gone berserk.
At this moment, Liu Lanqing, Ning Xiaohui, and Fan Xiaopeng walked out of the rolling dust. When they saw Lin Yan, they walked to his side.
“Issuer Liu.”
Liu Lanqing nodded at him.
Fan Xiaopeng muttered, “Are these Corpse Buddha Cockroaches stupid? Why did they collapse our camp? We can build another one at any time!”
Ning Xiaohui patted the wooden box on Fan Xiaopeng’s back. “If I hadn’t reacted in time, our anti-poison suits would have almost fallen into the hole.”
Fan Xiaopeng shrunk his neck and smiled awkwardly. “I didn’t expect the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches to have such a move. A suicide attack is really stupid.”
Lin Yan suddenly said, “Perhaps… this is a warning.”
“Warning?” Ning Xiaohui and Fan Xiaopeng were stunned.
Fan Xiaopeng choked. “Warning? Just these insects? If they weren’t hidden in the underground waterway, I would have killed them all in minutes!”
Lin Yan shook his head and couldn’t be bothered with his bragging. He bade Liu Lanqing farewell and left.
Another seven days passed.
The matter of the two camps being collapsed by the Corpse Buddha Cockroach had already come to an end.
The Qianyuan Academy was very fast. They immediately organized the genius seeds and established a brand new camp.
Furthermore, everyone had learned their lesson this time. They didn’t place important assets here and even arranged for special monitors to keep an eye on the underground movements to prevent the Corpse Buddha Cockroach from collapsing the camp again.
In the poisonous fog, the war between humans and the Corpse Buddha Cockroach became more and more brutal.
Ever since the previous incident of collapsing the camp, the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches had become far more violent than before.
Previously, although the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches would take the initiative to attack humans, it would only attack humans after encountering them.
Furthermore, most of the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches were hidden in the underground waterways, giving off the feeling that they were aloof from worldly affairs.
And now, the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches had completely treated humans as prey. A large number of Corpse Buddha Cockroaches gathered in the shallow layer of the underground waterway. Their main mission was to hunt humans. They could hide and assassinate people everywhere.
It was even to the extent that just a little commotion could cause the entire Corpse Buddha Cockroach group to riot.
As a result, the number of casualties among the genius seeds quickly rose, forcing Ling Shuangxue to change her strategy and invite the experts in the prefecture capital to be the leaders. Each of them had to bring a team of genius seeds to suppress the casualty rate of the genius seeds.
After seven days, Lin Yan felt that the time was about right.
First, he went down to the poisonous fog under the cliff and found a quiet place in the poisonous fog, waiting for a long time. Then, he impatiently went to the cliff and found Liu Lanqing.
He said mysteriously, “Issuer Liu, I’ve made a huge discovery!”
Then, he told her about entering the underground waterway and discovering a completely different world in the depths, especially the huge Corpse Buddha Cockroach and the large-sized Corpse Buddha Cockroaches.
The more Liu Lanqing listened, the brighter her eyes became. “A Corpse Buddha Cockroach that’s more than a hundred feet tall? And a huge lake! Tall and dense forest? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
Lin Yan described the details. Liu Lanqing stood up and paced back and forth in the tent.
Suddenly, she asked, “Do you remember the way in?”
“I do!”
After replenishing and upgrading, his clones now knew the situation of the underground waterway like the back of his hand. Not to mention, he had specially prepared a program for the past seven days to let his clones explore that underground plain and obtain more detailed information.
“Good! Good! This time, you’ve made a Great Merit!”
Liu Lanqing was swift and decisive. She immediately gathered Fan Xiaopeng and Wu Qinglei. This time, she did not call Ning Xiaohui, but Bai Ling.. “Let’s go! Take us to that underground world to take a look!”
