Chapter 143 - Heart

A rotten smell assaulted her face. It was like pork that had been abandoned in the sewers for several months!

Kurumi's delicate eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. However, it was not because of this smell but because the energy that supported the entire insect nest had already been formed.

These insects were willing to risk their lives for their lord. As for whether they were willing or directly killed, it was none of Kurumi's business.

The surrounding "houses" were connected to the blood-red tubes, and the insect corpses were constantly being transported over. They poured down and exhausted layer after layer around the blood pool.

Sometimes, they did not even need the corrosion of the blood pool, and they were eaten by high-intensity acid.

He held his breath and retreated. The most important thing was to find the bug that was about to advance. This kind of bug nest used as a reserve of energy by second rank creatures was very common in the future, but now... tsk tsk, it was extravagant.

As for the bug crystals on it, Kurumi did not want to cause any trouble. There was thick acid everywhere. If she was not careful and a piece of it was corroded, the gains would not make up for the losses.

As she continued to walk inside, the pressure of the aura became heavier and heavier. She also saw no less than five things similar to blood pools. She was afraid that the second rank insects in the nearby cities were all summoned as sacrifices.

As long as she could take down this peak third rank insect, she would be able to live peacefully for at least half a month. Even if the elders in the insect world sensed it, there would be no way.

Did it dare to seal its strength and risk its life to come to Earth through the spatial crack?

Kurumi had lowered her heartbeat to the minimum, and even his breathing was weak. Only her wine-red eyes seemed deeper and deeper.

This community was not very big. Even if she took a detour to choose the cave entrance, relying on her powerful memory, she simulated a 3D image in her mind and completely believed that she was about to reach the center of the insect nest.

In the original work, there was not too much introduction about this thing, so Kurumi was not very clear. However, these insects were not as fierce as the real "insect race". Otherwise, she would have been locked on by the Queen when she first stepped into the range of the insect nest!

As for this thing, Kurumi looked at the meat sack that was not bright at all. Compared to the race that dominated the universe, they were like primitive creatures of prehistoric society.

Restraining the aura of her entire body, it consumed even more of her energy. Sweat dripped onto the ground, and the hair on her forehead stuck to it. Kurumi felt that she was about to arrive.

This intuition could not be said to be accurate, but since she could feel it, it proved that something would happen.

Tightly holding Twilight Morning Star in her hand, the pitch-black spear devouring the only ray of light. No matter how high the temperature was, it would not affect it. Now holding it, it was like holding a large piece of ice.

The oxygen content in the air was decreasing, and other substances were added. It was probably helpful for the advancement of insects, but the road ahead of Kurumi became more difficult.

"Dong, dong!"

Like the sound of a giant heart beating, there was a wide room in front of her. Kurumi narrowed her eyes, and her long eyelashes soaked with sweat slightly curved. Then, she suddenly bounced back, and a drop of sweat fell on the red meat.

Dong!

The "heart" was beating faster and faster. Kurumi covered her chest with her small hands. She couldn't feel the softness of it at all. Now, her heart seemed to be synchronized with the insect nest!

This was not a joke. Even Kurumi could not hold on for long with such a fast beating. She clenched her hands tightly as if she wanted to hold the heart in her hands. She could barely recover her heart with her amazing control.

But she had to divide her spirit to maintain the normal beating of her heart at every moment.

Her breathing became slightly heavy. She moved her body and slowly approached the heart of the insect nest.

Is that bug inside or not? It's hard to conclude now. What is that' heart '? Is it the center of the bug nest? Or is it something else?

She carefully leaned out.

Looking inside, a strange green heart was reflected in her wine-red eyes!

A pulse as thick as a python squirmed on it. The red tubes that spread in all directions seemed to be transferring energy, constantly supporting its beating.

The frequency was fast and slow, but there was no pattern to it at all. She took a closer look inside the room. There was no insect at all. Her slightly narrowed eyes seemed to want to see through the thing inside the "heart".

No matter what it was, it was not a good thing for Kurumi. What she thought was not good, of course, was to be destroyed!

Twilight Morning Star was lifted, her finger gently rubbing against the trigger, and Kurumi was hesitating.

If there was no such thing, what would happen if the unknown insect still advanced to a Lord? What if it had nothing to do with it? What would happen if it were discovered?

Just as Kurumi was still undecided, the "heart" sped up like an electric motor, beating non-stop!

Kurumi's eyes suddenly spread out in that instant, and her body leaned forward unnaturally. The Twilight Morning Star's muzzle was directly pressed to the ground, and only then did she stop falling.

"Cough cough..." Wiping away the blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, her heart was beating with the strange thing before her eyes!

If an ordinary Awakened were here, she would have died instantly!

After a few breaths of relief, the green orb beat faster and faster. Her blood vessels were pushed up high as if they would explode in the next moment!

She shook her little head in pain, and her wine-red eyes gathered once more. A terrifying aura rose and enveloped the entire bug nest!

Shi Yi and the others felt their bodies turn cold. This was a Lord!

The pressure at close range made it extremely difficult for the three to move. The surrounding bugs had already woken up. They immediately saw Shi Yi and the others beside the bug nest.

However, under the might of the Bug Race lord, they had no choice but to lie on the ground devoutly.

This was not only the pressure of a superior being to an ordinary insect but also the respect of a new lord! Moreover, the bloodline of that person was...

Himura was burning with anxiety, afraid that something might happen to Kurumi. Although they had only known each other for a day, she had a good impression of this girl about the same age as herself.

Otherwise, she would not have followed her to take the risk. Her body seemed to have a fatal attraction.

The pressure of a lord level was quite terrifying. Although she did not see what kind of insect it was, it was definitely at the nest of insects! The close distance pressure made the flesh under Kurumi's feet sink slightly.

Fortunately, she was only at the beginner level, and her realm was unstable so she could fall back at any time!

Kurumi gritted her teeth and raised Twilight Morning Star with trembling hands. The gun's muzzle pointed straight in the direction of the blood-red tube!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The tube connected to the "heart" continuously exploded, releasing disgusting green liquid! The reddish ground was dyed green, but all the liquid was sucked dry in the next moment!
