Gamers Are Fierce-Chapter 884 - 883: Cocoon

This is... the Bug Nest...

The Side Truth's gaze fixed in concentration. He had always been receiving intelligence from his subordinate, Tian Jinghutu, and he had heard Bai Haozheng and others talk about the Bug Nest during the use of the [Communications Time Management Sandglass].

Despite being mentally prepared, the Side Truth couldn't help but feel a bit stunned upon seeing it with his own eyes.

An army of bio-weapons of this scale... The Bug Nest is likely also a lifeform from the Otherworldly, coming here to participate in this gateway contention,

The question is, how have they hidden so well, and why are they appearing at this specific moment to help the Earth's players?

Perhaps, as Bai Haozheng said, both sides had previously formed a contract, but this also indicates that in the Bug Nest's estimation, they cannot compete against the Desolated Lion on their own...

"Roar—"

The towering Desolated Lion, as tall as a building, extended several massive tentacles formed from condensed greenish-black Divine Power, pressing down toward the Ground-drilling Sandworm,

Simultaneously, the ground shook violently, countless tendrils extending out, burning out and being reborn under the gelling fuel,

The supply of Divine Power from the Desolated Lion forcefully broke through the flames, pouncing at the swarm.

The Ground-drilling Sandworm, contrary to its heavy body, moved with agile precision, its strong muscles providing great power, making its scales ripple in waves as it slithered on the ground like a snake, crushing countless stabbing tendrils.

This Ground-drilling Sandworm's body had undergone special modification, its scales mixed with special materials from security guards, strong enough to withstand the slashes of the Tyrant Halberd,

The muscle layer beneath the scales was also interwoven with plant fibers infused with Divine Power by Li Ang, enhancing muscle strength while resisting the Divine Power Corrosion of the Desolated Lion.

The tendrils on the ground found it extremely difficult to pierce through multiple layers of scales to stab into the Sandworm's skin, and even if they did penetrate along the scale gaps, it was hard to assimilate and infect the Sandworm.

Rumble—

The Ground-drilling Sandworm crawled backward along the ground, narrowly avoiding the Desolated Lion's striking Divine Power tentacles,

The red and white Bug Nest Tyrant swung its Bone Blade, slicing off the tips of the Divine Power tentacles that tried to extend again and bind the Sandworm.

Boom!

The ceiling burst open, and the physical tentacle that had been hovering over the eleventh floor finally sliced through a piece of the dome, crashing down with tons of rubble from the ceiling.

The players hurriedly dodged to the side,

Li Ang stood on the back of the Sandworm, gazing upwards at the falling dense debris.

In this position, even if the Sandworm were to immediately drill into the ground, its lower half would be buried by rubble,

and the lower-level Bug Nest units at the center of the battlefield would suffer severe casualties.

So...

Bam—

The back armor of the Sandworm's fifth segment automatically opened, ejecting a sarcophagus with cable-like, tough blood vessels attached.

The sarcophagus was red-green overall, narrow at both ends and wide in the middle, composed of unknown living Bug Nest organs, resembling both a Cocoon and a Pokémon Metapod.

The Cocoon sarcophagus exploded in mid-air, out of which leapt a slender, thin figure.

Ju Tianfu?

Shock and disbelief appeared in the hearts of the players and spectators alike.

The one who leapt out from the Cocoon sarcophagus was a disciple of the Heterodox Academy, a member of group seven on "Wind Chaser," with fans all over the world, Ju Tianfu.

At this moment, the young man's appearance was somewhat eerie,

He donned ant-like chitinous armor, with two slender antennae extending from his head, and a cable-like tough blood vessel as thick as three fingers growing from his back, connected to the Sandworm's body,

A semi-transparent breathing mask covered his mouth, with only his youthful face exposed outside the chitinous armor.

Breaking free from the Cocoon, Ju Tianfu suddenly opened his eyes in mid-air,

He took a deep breath, scanning the entire battlefield with the corner of his eyes, raising his arms sharply toward the falling countless debris.

The [Mysterious Dark Divine Power] had long accumulated to 1000/1000, and it poured out,

Deep blue ice crystals appeared in Ju Tianfu's palms, absorbing moisture from the air, generating an extremely cold wind, wrapped in frost, blowing upward.

Countless falling stones, large and small, were hit by the Mysterious Dark Divine Power, and tiny ice particles immediately appeared on their surfaces,

The ice particles rapidly expanded, instantly enveloping the stones,

An instant later, half of the stones were frozen in mid-air by an ice wall that slanted at an angle to the ground, not falling down,

The other half of the stones slid toward the back of the battlefield along the angle of the ice wall,

Finally caught in the "V" shape angle of the slanted ice wall.

Ice attribute Divine Power...

The players on the scene instantly recognized Ju Tianfu's power system, their minds racing, suspecting he might be one of the Heterodox Academy's trump cards,

Simultaneously realizing the primary reason for the Special Affairs Bureau and Heterodox Academy's eagerness to promote the "Wind Chaser" show in the real world.

An artificial deity, perhaps...

"..."

The Ant King looked at Ju Tianfu's Bug Clan armor, so similar in style to his own, his expression quite remarkable.

His ant armor was designed and constructed by himself; how did the Bug Nest produce the same style? Could this be convergent evolution?

However, perhaps this was also a good thing.

With Ju Tianfu unexpectedly appearing from the back of the Sandworm and fighting alongside the Bug Nest Overlord in bio-armor,

The Special Affairs Bureau and Heterodox Academy would be assumed to have an inextricable connection with the Bug Nest.

"Phew..."

Ju Tianfu maintained the ice wall, exhaling a long breath of stale air through the breathing mask,

His youthful face was determined and resolute,

Perfectly captured by the System Detector, broadcasted to the real world.

The Mysterious Dark Divine Power was being rapidly replenished.

Just as the Heterodox Academy anticipated, upon Ju Tianfu's appearance, his fans in the real world provided a massive amount of Power of Faith,

Although there was significant attenuation upon penetrating the Lost World, the sheer volume allowed the Mysterious Dark Divine Power to maintain a horrifyingly fast recovery rate,

Withstanding such a level of consumption.

Bang!!!

The giant physical tentacle also fell from above, smashing into the center of the ice wall.

The surface of the ice wall immediately displayed web-like cracks, but thanks to the substantial supplement of Mysterious Dark Divine Power, the balance was eventually maintained, securing the physical tentacle within the "V" shape of the tilted ice wall,

Temporarily buried by the successively falling rocks from above.

It's blocked...

Ju Tianfu's face was pale, his hands trembled uncontrollably from the excessive release of Divine Power,

The enduring look of determination through pain was captured by the System Detector, spiking the recovery rate of the Divine Power once again.

"Very, good."

The red and white Bug Nest Tyrant uttered a hoarse, raspy voice,

Ju Tianfu instinctively bit down, only he knew his current state.
