Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 170 Death Battle Field
Ren Ou stood in front of the insect pool, and a red halo spread from under his feet, quickly covering an area of more than 20 meters around him.

The air within the aperture seemed to freeze, and even time slowed down.

His spear trembled slightly, and arcs of electricity jumped across the spear, making slight crackling sounds.

His eyes were cold and locked on the half-human, half-insect creature, without a trace of fluctuation in his expression.

Chu Ge and Sun Qianyun retreated outside the aperture and watched the movements inside the aperture vigilantly.

They were no strangers to the Book of Fate, but they knew nothing about Ren Ou's ability to bestow gifts.

"What is this?" Sun Qianyun seemed to be talking to herself.

Chu Ge stared at the red circle, as well as Ren Ou and the half-human, half-insect creature within it: "I don't know, but his aura... has become different."

In the red circle, a man and a bug attacked almost at the same time!
The insect's compound eyes are made up of densely packed lenses, and each lens reflects the figure of Ren Ou holding a gun.

When it raised its front limbs, dark green smoke seeped out from the cracks in its shell. The smoke was extremely poisonous. The condensed venom alone would produce white smoke and corrode honeycomb-shaped holes when it dripped onto the ground.

Let the gun shoot out as fast as lightning.

The jet-black spear tore through the solidified air, and arcs of electricity wove into a web within the death battle area.

The poison gas and electric net, the insect claws and the spear collided with each other in an instant, bursting out a dazzling light.

The insect's poison is very effective against carbon-based life, but... it has almost no effect on Ren Ou.

The poison gas was evaporated in the high temperature of the explosion. Even though it seemed to have penetrated into Ren Ou's body, it could not cause any harm to him.

More poisonous fog was about to spread out, but the moment it touched the red light circle, it disappeared into nothingness.

Chu Ge and Sun Qianyun, who wanted to retreat further, were shocked.

The two of them almost understood it.

Once activated, Ren Ou's red aperture field seems to restrict all entry and exit until life and death are determined inside.

The poison didn't work, but the power of the half-insect creature itself was extremely astonishing!
This was the first opponent Ren Ou had encountered in a long time who was not inferior to him in terms of pure strength.

The insect had eight limbs growing on its waist, which were like eight spears, stabbing at Ren Ou frantically.

Ren Ou's spear dance was so tight and fast that the two people outside the red circle could hardly see it.

Smoke and dust rose in the death battle area, and arthropods like raindrops of gravel kept attacking Ren Ou's vital parts.

Occasionally, one or two venomous liquids would be ejected, which would be dodged and hit the red light curtain, causing ripples.

This back and forth exchange, one gun against eight spears, lasted for more than three minutes!
The terrifying frequency and intensity of the battles made Chu Ge's heart tremble. It was too strong...

Even though he possessed the gift-giving ability that was invincible in one-on-one combat, he was still shaken at this moment.

Finally, after five minutes of fighting, Ren Ou's figure finally appeared in the smoke and dust - he knelt on one knee, with the gun barrel holding two limbs horizontally, his clothes torn from his left shoulder, his flesh was cut open, revealing his mechanical body, and blue-purple plasma flowing between his metal bones.

Chu Ge's eyes suddenly narrowed.

He is not human?
This is obviously some kind of mechanical life form!
Under Ren Ou's torn clothes, blue-purple plasma surged between the metal bones, and the sound of gears meshing mixed with the sound of high-pressure airflow came from the wound - this is definitely not the physiological structure of a human being.

This was also the first time that Ren Ou was beaten so badly.

The battle in the deathmatch area continues.

Three metal rods suddenly popped out from Ren Ou's mechanical left arm, firmly clamping the insect's two limbs.

The spear on his right arm thrust forward, and the tip of the spear rotated and drilled into the gap in the shell, and the electric arc spread in the opposite direction along the insect body.

The half-insect creature let out an eardrum-piercing scream, and its six remaining limbs pounded the ground frantically, trying to break free from its shackles.

"Its weak spot is in the third thoracic segment!"

Chu Ge used his insect limbs to scribble words on the ground.

His "response" ability was working like crazy at this moment, and his eyes reflected the trajectory of the insect's energy flow - the dark green venom was converging from the roots of the eight limbs to the center.

However, Ren Ou could not understand the "insect language", nor could he see the words written on the ground outside the death battle area.

But at this moment, Ren Ou's eyes suddenly turned red!
The spear suddenly disintegrated into twelve chains, entwined with arcs of electricity, and bound the insect. As the insect attempted to spit out poisonous mist, Ren Ou's glowing red eyes suddenly brightened, and a cluster of terrifying, blood-red energy shot almost face-to-face into the bound insect's body.

The air in the death battle area was burned by this terrifying energy. The astonishing pulse waves poured into the insect body along the chains. The structures inside the insect body exploded almost at the same time, and the venom and green body fluids turned into steam in the high temperature.

However, almost every one of these advanced Zerg will suddenly self-destruct at the moment of death.

This half-human, half-insect creature is no exception.

A terrifying green light suddenly burst out, and the shock wave caused the light curtain of the death battle area to vibrate violently. Ren Ou was blown away and hit the light curtain. His body was already heavily damaged, revealing his metal skeleton.

However, his eyes remained stern, as if this broken body had nothing to do with him.

The green light in the death battle area gradually dissipated, and the self-explosion of the half-insect creature blew a deep pit in the ground within the area, but Ren Ou's area remained stable.

His mechanical right arm supported his body as he slowly stood up. He raised his hand and sucked, and the "stick" that had turned into a twelve-section chain was reassembled and turned into a spear again.

"He can still fight?" Chu Ge murmured in a low voice, with disbelief in his tone.

At this time.

The insect pond suddenly boiled.

After killing the guard, the real culprit should appear.

Countless pustules bulged on the surface of the insect pond, dark green slime swirling like boiling asphalt. A swollen severed arm emerged from the foam, a rusted wedding ring still adorning its fingertips. Next came half a face, its scalp still attached, with centipede-like larvae crawling out of its empty eye sockets.

This was just the first corpse. More and more broken limbs and arms floated out of the insect pool, along with human limbs... there were also insect eggs.

Chu Ge's eyes suddenly felt stinging - among those densely packed insect eggs, it seemed as if hundreds of human embryos were beating the egg membrane with their knuckles, beating on his heart.

But when I looked again, it seemed that there was nothing in those eggs.

Hallucination?

Sun Qianyun had no expression on her face. She just looked at everything in the insect pond, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Insects and humans were strangely combined in this pool. The flesh, blood, and shells, as well as the insect legs, pierced the human skin and combined with human organs and limbs, growing into a deformed symbiotic organism.

Ren Ou's death battle area is still unfolding, which means... there are still enemies within the range of his circle that have not been completely eliminated.

The most terrifying change came from under the insect pool. When the sticky green liquid boiled and insect eggs and limbs emerged, the entire cave began to vibrate at a low frequency, the rock walls collapsed, and it shook violently.

The liquid in the insect pool gradually returned to calm.

But soon...something emerged from the bottom.

In Ren Ou's field of vision, the [Black Danger] warning was already flashing frantically.

An extremely oppressive and terrifying atmosphere spread to every corner.

Ren Ou had a blank expression on his face. In the realm of death... As long as his will did not collapse, he would not die.

Even if it is a real royal plague, he is not afraid.

however……

When the things at the bottom of the insect pond come up.

The black danger warning in Ren Ou's eyes suddenly disappeared.

Not only him, but Chu Ge and Sun Qianyun outside also seemed stunned when they saw the huge object floating up.

This is an insect egg, a huge insect egg.

however……

It is empty.

The thing inside has already hatched out.
