Looking at the inexplicable appearance of Qizhou Island and the swarm of insects like a dark cloud pressing down on the land, everyone frowned.

Why are there so many? These insects should only live for a year... And why are there other insects besides ants? Aren't there only ants on this island?

The sudden change cast a shadow of uncertainty in everyone's heart.

Chapter 46 Transition.

Xiadie actually figured out some clues.

Not only Xiadie, Cheng Xiaoyu also had some vague guesses. If one had to pick out a possible murderer from the changes before him, then the one who best fits this identity would be the King of the Insect Swarm, the Plague King, who is one of the kings.

He is a king who can control toxins and insects, and control corpses through insects. His strength is not strong among kings, but he is still a king after all.

How did she suddenly appear here? There was no sign of this before.

Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't figure it out, but Xiadie had some guesses.

Could it be because of... the death of the King of Cold and the disappearance of the King of Fang?

The successive disappearances of the two kings were enough to alert the other kings. If there was anything in the world that could allow the Plague King to gain reinforcements and subordinates, Qizhou Island would undoubtedly be her best choice.

After all, I haven't heard of any swarms of insects gathering in other places.

"……How to do?"

The assistant broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Goto Ryuji.

"Even if there are a lot of them, bugs are still bugs."

Goto Ryuji said this, but his face did not look good. He originally thought that the situation that he would win easily turned out like this. He had to be prepared to lose manpower.

"But... our fleet can't withstand the attack of so many insect swarms..."

The assistant said hesitantly.

"Perhaps we should renegotiate our battle plan at this time."

Bai Luhao couldn't help but speak.

His reaction was very reasonable. He had previously said that Country H was the one outside attracting the Zerg's attention because, although the Zerg was large, it was not so large that it was impossible to deal with. But now it was different. Even if they landed on the island, the large-scale Zerg would put them in a deadly situation.

He really wanted to return to the island to avenge his friend, but that didn't mean he was a brainless man who would die.

"Renegotiate? Do you think we have such a chance?"

Goto Ryuji looked at Bai Luhao coldly: "I don't need to tell you what these flying insects will do after we return."

"This……"

Everyone knew that Goto Ryuji really wanted to go to the island, but his words still pierced Bai Luhao's heart. Yes, these bugs had been trying to fly to other islands before, and now...

"If we go up rashly like this, we will only die in vain."

Choi Jung-in wasn't fooled. "Rather than die in vain, it's better to form a circle on the battleships, destroying the bugs trying to leave the island while contacting hunters from other countries for help."

"We can stretch out the front and engage in a war of attrition, slowly advancing the front while clearing out the bugs."

Goto Ryuji's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he compromised: "Wait until the number of insects is almost eliminated before landing on the island."

This method is also not rational, at least not as reasonable as the method Cui Zhongyin mentioned, but Cui Zhongyin also knows that Goto will never accept other countries interfering in this strategy. This is the limit of his retreat.

Although Country H is the party seeking help and the portal is Country H's property, they have the right to ignore Ryuji Goto and directly seek help from other countries, but he also does not want to have a bad relationship with Country R. If they seek help from other countries, and other countries come and Country R leaves, then they will lose more than they gain.

Country R is the second most powerful country in Asia. Apart from Country R, ​​they can only seek help from Country Z, but the problem is... Country Z does not have someone like Ryuji Goto who covets the S-level portal and is willing to cooperate with them.

Neither Liu Zhikang nor the Hunter Hall has an urgent need for an S-level portal. If Country R wants a portal and wants to weaken Country H's power at the same time, and can choose one of them if necessary, then Country Z will only omit the portal and simply want to weaken Country H's power.

So the chances of them agreeing to help are very low.

"In that case, we should send more helicopters."

Choi Jung-in pushed his glasses up. "Each magic hunter will have their own helicopter, and another hunter will be assigned to protect them. This way, they'll advance towards the center from different directions."

"How about this."

Goto Ryuji nodded.

"Wait a moment."

Just then, Seong Jin-Woo suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he continued, "If we want to advance, can you leave all those bugs to me?"

"what?"

His words made the R country hunter feel a little unhappy and asked: "Who are you?"

Cheng Xiaoyu had not participated in the previous training, and had been nowhere to be found for so many days. In the eyes of others, he was basically equated with a coward. He was a newcomer who came here to take credit after knowing that this operation was foolproof.

Although he is S-level, S-level is really just the threshold for being qualified to speak here.

Cheng Xiaoyu ignored the question and turned his gaze to Xiadie. It seemed that he did not take Goto Ryuji, the commander of the operation, seriously at all.

In fact, he really didn't take Goto Ryuji seriously. His perception of magic had improved a lot through the sparring with Cha Huiyi and Xiadie's guidance in the past two days. It was very easy for him to see the magic of people weaker than himself.

Goto Ryuji is indeed very strong, but he is far inferior to himself, not to mention the powerful Che Huiyi and the underworld manager Xiadie.

With Cheng Xiaoyu's panel having added countless points, his rationality was extremely strong, which led to him not engaging in unnecessary conversations and not caring about people who did not need to be cared about.

Everyone has the concept that 'Xiadie is the strongest here', but... it's impossible not to be angry when being ignored by people from other countries like this.

"you!?"

"It doesn't matter."

Goto Ryuji was not sure about comparing himself and Cheng Xiaoyu to see who was stronger, but he knew that Cheng Xiaoyu definitely had the same strength as himself. In addition, the other party obviously had some connection with Xiadie, and his forced command at this time was not in line with the battle plan, so there was no need to create unnecessary trouble at this time.

Faced with Cheng Xiaoyu's inquiry, Xiadie naturally had no reason to refuse. After all, Cheng Xiaoyu was now more obsessed with becoming stronger than before, and there was no reason for her to refuse the opportunity to kill monsters and level up.

After all, she is quite considerate of her employees.

So, Xiadie nodded.

"Then I'll take the first step."

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled. He knew Xiadie would not refuse, but the other party was his boss, so he had to ask for his approval.

Without any hesitation, Cheng Xiaoyu jumped directly from the helicopter. As black and purple flames ignited, a silver dragon appeared at his feet. With the rise and fall of its dragon wings, the man and the dragon instantly burst out at an astonishing speed and rushed towards the swarm of insects above the island.

Seeing his behavior, everyone couldn't help but look at Xiadie, with a hint of inquiry in their eyes.

After all, when it comes to riding a dragon, this person is the pioneer, right?

However, Xiadie had no intention of explaining and just smiled at everyone.

Seeing this, everyone stopped gossiping, but there was another thing that needed an answer.

"Hunter Xiadie, isn't Hunter Cheng's behavior dangerous?"

Seeing that Cha Huiyi had no intention of speaking, even though Choi Jung-in had some guesses in his mind, he could only speak up to confirm on behalf of everyone else.

Chapter 47: Shooting oneself in the foot.

"Please don't worry, Hunter Cheng is capable of dealing with these insect swarms."

Xiadie kept smiling as she spoke these somewhat shocking remarks in a relaxed tone.

As soon as she finished speaking, without even needing her to prove it, everyone felt the surge of magic power ignited in the distance, the various flying birds and monsters in the underworld, the blue sword energy from the greatsword dropped after killing the demon king, and the power of the ruler.

With the superposition of various abilities, Cheng Xiaoyu's efficiency in clearing debris is extremely good, especially since Cheng Xiaoyu does not need to use magic power, he can directly use the power of the underworld manager to summon dead monsters from the underworld to fight for him.

This convenience allows him to use all his magic power in battle, and as the potions are consumed, he can display unlimited firepower.

This reaction made the S-rank hunter who had just yelled at Seong Jin-woo swallow his saliva. He thought that since the other party didn't even look at him, he probably didn't care what he said.

Looking at the group of monsters in the distance that were quickly gathering towards Cheng Xiaoyu as he moved, Goto Ryuji was surprised at his strength, but what he cared about more was... with him as bait in the sky, he could land on the island without any worries.

Although the number of people on the island is definitely more than expected, it shouldn't be a big problem if we just resist.

With this in mind, he said directly: "Bring the plane over, we will land on the island and carry out the operation as planned."

"This……"

Cui Zhongyin hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Xiadie's expression did not change, he nodded.

Seeing this, the other hunters from Country H didn't say much. Although they were competitors, they still trusted Choi Jung-in's reliability.

Since no one objected, the pilot nervously flew the helicopter directly to the island and dropped everyone on the island, along with the A-level hunter who was following them and filming the scene in real time. (There was real-time filming in the original novel)

As everyone got their equipment and momentum in order, the cameraman also finished debugging the equipment and began broadcasting the live footage to the national audience of Country H and the Hunter Association.

Cha Huiyi's expression was a little serious.

When she arrived at the island, she immediately felt an extremely powerful magical power, which was much stronger than Goto Ryuji, and even slightly stronger than Cheng Xiaoyu. In terms of magical power alone, it was probably about the same level as her own.

Just as she was about to remind him, she heard Xiadie's voice beside her: "Mr. Goto."

Ryuji Goto, who was planning to make arrangements, stopped when he heard her voice and decided to listen to what she had to say.

Country R's strategy has decided to win over Xiadie. As long as Xiadie doesn't say or do anything excessive, Goto Ryuji will try his best to give her a satisfactory answer.

"There are three very powerful magical forces on this island, and these three magical forces are converging together."

Xiadie's expression seemed to reflect a moment's deliberation before she spoke: "Even Lord Goto, facing three enemies of this caliber simultaneously, would likely be doomed."

Goto frowned.

Unlike Cheng Xiaoyu's reaction just now, with the foreshadowing of strength, Xiadie's words did not cause dissatisfaction in Country R. Instead, it made everyone's expressions solemn. After all, this was an object that even Xiadie called very powerful.

Is this the strength of an S-level portal?

Everyone couldn't help but feel scared.

"Are the three magical powers you mentioned all in the insect's nest?"

Goto spoke.

"Yes."

Xiadie nodded.

"If I face them alone, what are my chances of winning?"

"Even if it's a round-robin battle, there's no chance of winning."

This wasn't good news. No one doubted Xiadie's lies. In other words, the three magical powers within the lair were at least as powerful as Goto Ryuji? Hmm...? Wait, that didn't seem so scary.

After all, everyone knows that Xiadie is stronger than Goto, and Cha Huiyi is weaker than Goto but much stronger than other S-class. In this case, as long as Xiadie and Goto deal with one each, and the others deal with the other, they can still win.

"Then, those who enter the nest will have to be selected again."

Choi Jung-in said.

Although they were full of confidence in conquering the masters of the three magical powers again, it did not mean that they were sure of victory. Once there were too many miscellaneous soldiers, the battle would be disrupted. Therefore, they still needed someone outside to contain the insect swarm.

At the same time, because the two main combat forces, Xiadie and Che Huiyi, who were originally responsible for restraining the outside, have to be brought into the nest, the restraining side will be in greater danger.

The hunters' discussions were transmitted to every household in Country H through cameras.

On forums and in group chats, countless people are discussing live broadcasts.

[Why don't the hunters seem as determined as I imagined? ]

[S-rank hunters are invincible, what is there to worry about? ]

"What's there to worry about? Hey, buddy, do you know how many times we've fought to retake Qizhou Island? Why didn't we succeed before? Don't you want to?"

[Whether you succeed or not, as long as no one dies, it is considered a success]

[With the Butterfly Hunter and the Car Hunter here, this time will definitely be different]

"You might as well say that with Country R's help this time, we'll definitely succeed. But since we haven't seen them for a while, there are even more bugs, several times more than last time. Can these hunters from Country R offset this multiple increase?"

[You don't know how powerful Goto is. He's a national power hunter who hasn't been awarded a medal!]

"Come on, if we're talking about strength, we're still the strongest. Can't we read people's expressions? That Goto is always watching our Xiadie's face."

[How did it become your Xiadie? Isn't Xiadie from Country Y?]

(Y Mandarin)

Netizens have limited understanding of the actual situation, but there are some who can understand the situation.

[The S-rank hunters seem to be splitting up, luring the insect swarm outside while simultaneously carrying out a decapitation operation. However, upon arrival, they discovered that the decapitation was difficult, so the operation has reached a stalemate.]
