Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 813 - 498: Another World Beneath

Then he pulled Lou Fei’Er onto the wolf’s back as well.

In terms of running speed, Lou Fei’Er couldn’t match Silver King; she was merely more agile.

"Silver King, go!"

The distance of two hundred meters vanished in the blink of an eye.

Silver King didn’t care if there were bugs on the ground, he trampled over them without a thought.

Getting closer to the giant insect, one could better feel its oppressive presence.

On the rough skin, intermingled with gray and red, were short bristles that were blackish-gray, even slightly purplish, which reminded Xu Xin of poison.

These bristles must be poisonous!

Fortunately, the giant insect didn’t even acknowledge their approach, its open-mouthed head still facing the direction of the treehouse, allowing both to sigh in relief.

However, Xu Xin could feel Lou Fei’Er trembling as she gripped his hand.

She seemed extremely afraid of the giant insect.

"Squeak!" Keke suddenly squeaked, its tiny paw pointing beneath the giant insect.

The two immediately looked down.

"This...!" Xu Xin’s eyes widened.

"Ah! Below is..." Lou Fei’er’s surprise temporarily overshadowed her fear.

"What’s wrong? What did you discover?" Li Wenxi’s voice whispered over the communicator.

She was concerned about causing trouble by being too loud, but since the two had already reacted, she decided to ask.

Xu Xin took a deep breath: "Below is..."

The giant insect emerged from underground.

No, it didn’t just emerge.

More than thirty meters above ground was merely a small part of its body.

Below the ground, there remained a long section of the body, with no end in sight as half was buried deeper underground.

But that wasn’t what surprised the two, as from the thickness of the part above ground, they had already anticipated such a thing.

What shocked them the most was that the emergence of the insect caused a large portion of the surrounding ground to collapse!

Not only did a hole appear where the insect emerged, but the entire vicinity collapsed, forming a twenty-meter-wide pit!

The giant insect was approximately five meters thick, emerging from the middle of the pit, yet Xu Xin and Lou Fei’Er could observe the situation below from its surroundings.

To avoid misjudging, Xu Xin had Silver King move closer.

"Relics? Is this the relic of some civilization below?" Lou Fei’Er exclaimed softly.

"Relics?" Li Wenxi sounded confused over the communicator, "Weren’t you guys near the insect?"

The giant pit was about fifty meters deep, equivalent to a fifteen or sixteen-story building.

At first glance, Xu Xin saw the large stone sculpture below.

The statue, also four to five meters tall, was a human face adorned with peculiar head and ear ornaments.

It resembled some ethnic minority’s attire, yet also bore similarities to the ancient Western Maya sculptures on Earth.

Surrounding the statue were remnants of buildings, whose style appeared equally intriguing.

Below was a whole other world!

No wonder Lou Fei’Er thought it might be relics of a civilization, as at a glance, it appeared to be remains from an ancient civilization buried deep over the ages.

...Perhaps, it truly was relics of the ancient civilization from this world?

The natural disaster had only plagued this world for fifty years or so.

But since there was space below, perhaps Qin Fu, Zeng Tao, and Jin Yue were inside.

He had almost assumed the insect had devoured the trio, but the watch indicated they were still alive.

According to his map display...

The likelihood of them being inside this insect’s belly was very low.

"Squeak!" Keke suddenly cried out in alarm.

"The insect! The insect has discovered us!" Lou Fei’Er cried out softly.

The giant insect above finally noticed the small ants beside it.

As if venting its fury, it twisted its massive body, and its blood-red mouth came down towards Xu Xin!

Silver King didn’t even need Xu Xin’s order; it immediately turned and ran!

Silver King was also extremely afraid of such a high-level mutant giant insect!

"Boom!"

The giant insect’s enormous mouth slammed into the ground, accompanied by the shattering of rocks and soil, swallowing a large chunk of earth!

Behind him, Lou Fei’Er clung tightly to Xu Xin, trembling all over.

In a matter of seconds, Silver King had already sprinted hundreds of meters.

"————"

The giant insect behind seemed unable to fully emerge from the ground, issuing furious roars in the direction Xu Xin was fleeing!

"————"

All around, the sound of insects began to resonate again, with various types of insects emerging from the ground!

This time, their target was Xu Xin and the others!

Xu Xin’s mind raced as he quickly activated his bracelet, releasing Afu.

"Afu, sonic attack!"

Afu, not yet fully aware of the situation, immediately let out an ear-piercing scream upon hearing the order!

Instantly, the surrounding attacking insects were all killed by the sound waves; countless flying insects fell to the ground, and numerous crawling insects flipped over, perishing on the spot.

Casualties were everywhere!

Xu Xin’s heart quickened.

Sonic attacks were extremely effective against such large swarms of insects!

Yet, the insects continued to incessantly emerge from the ground, attacking them!

Afu screamed again, fending off the insect swarm’s attack!

"Wenxi! Attack! Quickly attack that giant insect, use the heavy weapon directly!"

Afu couldn’t hold on much longer, they had to attack!

This giant insect was stronger than the giant demon, they had to use their heavy weapon!

Otherwise, they might not inflict any damage at all!

"Ah? Are you far enough away?" Li Wenxi immediately asked, "I’m ready!"

"Fire directly! We’re already far away!!"

"Understood!"

Inside the treehouse, Li Wenxi anxiously pressed the attack button!

"Click!" "Bang!"

The mechanism of the purple-grade heavy crossbow rang out, and moments later, the freshly crafted [Super Delayed Explosion Metal Heavy Crossbow Arrow] shot out rapidly, accompanied by a violent sonic boom!

The supersonic bolt sliced through the air, crossing 800 meters in less than two seconds, piercing directly through the "head" of the unreactive giant insect!

"Boom!!!!!!"

A massive explosion erupted 30 meters above the ground, blooming into a spectacular display of fire and light!
