Chapter 567 Heading To The Hive
However, no matter how furious they were, it would be difficult to recover the lost bodies.
This was utterly disrespectful. They would not let it go quickly if they knew who did it.
"Something's wrong! The bug race had already retreated last night. It's still daytime. Why haven't they appeared yet? Could the bug race have changed its strategy and will fight a war of attrition with us?"
Someone from the Fox race frowned and asked in confusion.
He still had a lot of questions about what had happened yesterday. He thought about it for a whole night but still could not figure out what was happening. What was the mystery behind it? What did the various actions of the bug race mean?
Although the bug race did not come, the many foreign races in Huge Boulder City did not act rashly. On the contrary, they were always on guard against the surrounding areas.
"The bug race didn't appear! The bug race army's retreat yesterday wasn't as simple as it seemed. There must be something else."
In Ice City, Li Xiang and the others stood on the city wall and looked around. Although the disappearance of the corpses on the battlefield was shocking, they did not ask much. Likewise, Alice only glanced at Li Xiang and did not say anything.
As the first hero that Li Xiang had summoned, she naturally knew Li Xiang the best. She knew many of her master's secrets.
It was already daytime, but there was still no trace of the bug race, which inevitably puzzled many people.
Li Xiang frowned slightly. "The bug race must be carrying out some plan. The bug race's army from before was probably baiting or a cover. But as for what exactly happened, we still need to go to the bug tide to find out personally."
It was unusual that the bug race did not return. The only place they could find their answer was the hive.
"The hive is the foundation of the bug race, so countless bugs must be inside. If we get close, we'll probably encounter great danger. It would be hazardous if the bug race set a trap inside. Once you're trapped, you'll likely be killed."
Ye Qiu's expression revealed a trace of worry. From Li Xiang's words, Ye Qiu could tell he intended to make a trip to the hive personally.
"You can't get tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den! Nothing in this world could be obtained without paying the price. There would be a danger, but the threat would also be an opportunity. How could they not take risks to survive in the Myriad World Continent?"
Li Xiang's expression was filled with determination. He had made his decision, and it could not be changed.
"Go! Let's go to the hive now and see what those bugs are doing!" Niu Ben shouted.
In the Huge Boulder City, many foreign races had already lost their patience waiting. Moreover, this war was being fought too strangely. It had appeared and ended strangely. No one could be at ease without finding out the reason.
After all, this was a battle of life and death for countless races. No one could be at ease, and no one could joke about it.
Not long after, a few hundred feet tall giants appeared in the city.
The giants exuded a mountain-like aura, and their long hair scattered behind their heads like weeds. They wore rough leather coats of beast skin and carried vast cudgels a thousand feet long on their shoulders. Their entire bodies were covered in muscles, and their pale yellow skin looked extremely tough, giving off a feeling of heaviness.
They belong to a separate branch in the Giant race, known as the Mountainous Giant Race!
The Mountainous Giant Race had always liked to live on high mountains. The mountains were their ideal home. However, their strength was almost unrivaled among their peers.
Once they started fighting, their violent strength, gigantic bodies, and adamant defense would all be the nightmare of their enemies.
The person who appeared was the tribal chief of the Mountainous Giant Race.
With its vast body several hundred feet tall, every step it took could make people feel the earth and the mountains shake. Every step it took left a massive crater in the ground. It was more potent than a war spear and carried a wild aura.
"You're right. Since the bug race isn't coming, we'll look at their hive!"
Seeing the actions of the mountainous giants, many of the foreign races immediately agreed.
Immediately, the Wolf race, Fox race, Ogre race, Elf race, Three-eyed race, and Angel race all sent their powerhouses for this operation.
Some of them were in groups, while others went alone. They left the Huge Boulder City without hesitation, heading toward the bug nest.
Not many powerhouses had left for the operation, but they were all the strongest amongst their respective races.
"Zhao Yun, you will guard Ice City. If there are any changes, activate the Eight Trigrams Array. Then, no matter who it is, if they dare to trespass, kill them without mercy."
"Yes, Country Lord!"
Zhao Yun did not say anything to dissuade him. The foreign race had already begun to plan to explore the bug hive. It was impossible for the human race not to send people. If they found something in the hive, but the human race knew nothing about it, they would be passive and excluded.
Intelligence was the number one priority in all wars and must be taken seriously.
"I'll go too!"
Fu Mingxue popped out of nowhere and said.
At this moment, he had an incredibly sharp aura around him. This aura made people shiver, and they did not dare to get close to him. It was as if his entire person was an unsheathed blade.
"What? Had he broken through to the divine realm? He should have just broken through not long ago. I can't even control my aura!"
Li Xiang could tell Fu Mingxue's current state with a single glance. After obtaining the metal spirit fruit, he had been cultivating in seclusion in Ice City. With the army present, he did not have to worry about safety and could cultivate peacefully.
Even when the bug race launched a large-scale attack yesterday, they did not inform him.
Now that he had appeared, it was apparent that he had completed a breakthrough. The sharp aura on his body was much stronger than before he had entered seclusion.
It was easy to tell that Fu Mingxue had completed his breakthrough, and the genuine Qi in his body had transformed. Furthermore, he had already comprehended the Metal Law and illuminated the void of the God sea.
He allowed the Metal Law to merge with his genuine Qi and powers. As a result, the aura of the rules began to be engraved in his own.
Because he had just broken through, the blade intent in his body made him appear unparalleled. The sharpness was boundless.
