Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system-Chapter 1054 - 1043 Interstellar Plane 79

Xia Yue and Yan Mo focused on dealing with the Big Red Worm, which was somewhat disoriented by their Divine Sense attack and began to screech wildly.

As its cries grew more miserable, a large number of insects started surging up from underground again.

"It’s calling for something to help; the insects are increasing in number," Xia Yue noticed that the number of insects was growing again. Their Divine Sense had just wiped out most of them, but now they were back to their original numbers.

"There must be something underground; otherwise, there couldn’t be such an endless stream of insects." Yan Mo glanced at the entrance continuously spewing insects.

"Let’s quickly kill this Big Red Worm and head underground to investigate," Xia Yue gritted his teeth and said.

Without addressing the underground issue, they would never finish killing these insects. Moreover, with many passages underground, it’s likely that quite a few insects have already gone elsewhere. As long as there’s one insect on the Central Star, it’s a major threat.

"Alright, you attack it with Divine Sense, and I’ll go up to distract it." Yan Mo agreed with this plan, retrieved his Divine Sense, and flew to confront the Big Red Worm with his sword.

The Big Red Worm blocked his attack with its two large pincers and was then hit by Xia Yue’s Divine Sense.

"Ah," the Big Red Worm howled, teetered in midair, and then fell from above.

With a "bang," it crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust that obscured it.

But Xia Yue didn’t give up and continued to attack it with Divine Sense, while Yan Mo returned to Xia Yue’s side, keeping a wary eye on it.

"It’s still alive," Xia Yue said to him.

"I know; be careful of its sneak attack," Yan Mo could feel its presence, albeit weaker.

"Stop it; it’s trying to escape," Xia Yue suddenly shouted at Yan Mo.

With a swift motion, Yan Mo flew over, slashing at the Big Red Worm. Feeling his strike land, there was a "smack" as it collapsed onto the ground.

A piercing sound came from underground, and many insects suddenly exploded, injuring several soldiers.

"Finish it off," Xia Yue said to Yan Mo, using Divine Sense to control the remaining insects to prevent further explosions from harming the soldiers.

Yan Mo increased his efforts, and soon the Big Red Worm perished under his sword. He casually collected it and began slaying other insects.

"Let’s head underground," Xia Yue said, seeing that the Big Red Worm was gone.

"Alright, let’s conceal ourselves and go down," Yan Mo nodded.

"Here you go," Xia Yue approached him, handing him an Invisibility Talisman, and used one himself.

The two concealed themselves and headed down the tunnel from which the Insect Clan emerged, where many insects were still scurrying upwards.

Following the direction from which the insects came, they walked for a while and saw a giant black worm exuding a terrifying aura, surrounded by numerous Star Beast corpses and some human corpses. It ate while birthing more insects.

Upon witnessing this scene, Xia Yue nearly regurgitated what he had eaten.

In front of it stood a person in a black robe, using a Neural in virtual mode to watch a broadcast, the content being the situation outside.

"Who are these two people anyway?" the Big Black Bug said, somewhat frantically.

"They were just from the Marginal Star, relying on Merit Points to enter the First Military Academy," the black-robed person said, also dissatisfied.

"Where did they go? Find them and kill them. Otherwise, our plan will be ruined," the Big Black Bug said.

"The broadcast didn’t catch them; I don’t know where they went," the black-robed person was also searching for their presence.
