The waves of quake clusters came from the ground below, one after another. The frequency started to increase and became rapid. Chu Yusheng had already determined that it was caused by the golden-shelled monster. He could feel that it was digging towards the defence line.

Once it came out of the ground, its fire attack could sweep away everything on the ground.

Not only was Chu Yusheng’s group running for their lives, but all the refugees were also flocking towards the first defence line. No one wanted to be the last one.

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, a giant insect’s head, as big as a bus, broke out of the ground. Its golden shell was reflecting the dazzling golden light in the military’s searchlight.

This was the second time Chu Yusheng saw a live golden-shelled insect in such close proximity. Half of its body was still underneath the ground. No one knew how big this monster was, but with its giant head alone, it was more than enough to intimidate people. Its mouth was covered with palpus. There was also a pair of big mandibles on each side of its mouth. The mandibles were covered with dirt and they were constantly opening and closing. Just by looking at it, Chu Yusheng could feel that its mandibles had a tremendous amount of biting force.

The golden-shelled monster spat out fire at the defence tower as soon as it surfaced out of the ground. The people on the ground quick seized the opportunity to run away.

The heavy machine guns and rocket launchers on the top of the defence tower had already started firing at the golden-shelled monster.

Chu Yusheng was surprised when he noticed that there was Yuan Qi fire elemental energy in those ammunitions. Although it was not strong, it already had enough firepower to damage the monster’s energy shield.

Then many golden-shelled monsters dug their way out of the ground, one after another. They even brought up some larva-like long transparent worms with them. As soon as the golden-shelled insects attacked, the transparent worms crawled down from the golden-shelled monsters’ bodies and quickly moved towards the refugees.

Chu Yusheng swung the sword and quickly killed the one worm that was crawling towards him. He looked around, and then noticed that Lao Chui’s group had just run past the first defence line.

But they did not run very far, because the ground started to shake once again. Then a giant golden-shelled monster’s head suddenly broke out of the ground behind Lao Chui’s group.

Some people were knocked over by the quake, and they were immediately trampled to death by the monster’s giant front leg before they even had a chance to get up.

The appearance of the golden-shelled monster split Lao Chui’s group into two groups, almost one third of the people were on the other side, and they were surrounded by the worms immediately.

“Run, quick! Don’t turn around, they are dead!” Chu Yusheng shouted once again.

“No! Please let me go, my daughter is over there!” a woman screamed, while trying to break free from Zhao Shanhe restraint.

“I’ll go!” Zhao Shanhe shouted, and pushed the woman to the other side, “Yuquan, watch her. Don’t let her go back! It will be suicide!”

Zhao Shanhe has not fully recovered yet, and he also did not have much energy left. He did not run far before he was surrounded by the worms as well. Soon, a few worms even crawled up to him and tightly wrapped his body.

If he were not injured, or if he had sufficient energy, he wouldn’t have any problem dealing with those worms. But now, whenever he killed one, another one would crawl onto him. However, the speed at which he was killing the worms was much slower than the speed of the worms crawling onto him.

Chu Yusheng cursed after he saw what happened. He quickly charged towards Zhao Shanhe and used his sword to free him from the worms’ encirclement. He picked him up by the collar and shouted, “Are you crazy?! You can’t save them!”

Just when he finished, the woman broke free from Chu Yuquan’s restraint. She was running towards the other side while constantly shouting, “Meng Meng! Don’t be scared, Mom is here!”

Chu Yu Sheng was dazed for a second. He finally saw who this woman was. He quickly turned around and tried to look for the little girl.

The girl was in the group that was surrounded by the worms behind the golden-shelled monster. The number of people around her was decreasing quickly. If it wasn’t for Tian Weidai, who was next to her, she would’ve probably been dead already.

Zhao Shanhe’s eyes were red with frustration. He still wanted to charge towards the monster to save them. But he could not wrench away Chu Yusheng’s hands.

“Fuck it! I’ll go!” Chu Yusheng hadn’t cursed this much for a while, and this time he completely lost it. He pushed away Zhao Shanhe and used his sword to make his way to the little girl.

He thought as long as he didn’t directly fight with the golden-shelled monster, he probably would be able to save one or two people. With the ability he had right now, he knew clearly that he could not save all of them.

When he finally jumped over the golden-shelled monster and got to Tian Weidai, he noticed that Tian Weidai was swaying left and right constantly and could barely stand up. Clearly, he was on the verge of collapsing.

“Go!” said Chu Yusheng. He picked up the little girl, pushed her into Tian Weidai’s arm, and then picked up Tian Weidai.

“Mr. Chu, please take me with you!” said Li Yue, who came out of nowhere. There was a worm still crawling on his body, but he ignored it and rushed towards Chu Yusheng, and begged in panic.

Chu Yusheng couldn’t take three people with him. If it weren’t for the fact that little girl was just a kid, he couldn’t even take two people with him.

Moreover, maybe because Chu Yusheng had killed too many worms, all other worms started to move towards them. Even the golden-shelled monster also stopped attacking the defence tower and turned its giant head around to face Chu Yusheng.

In that split second, Chu Yunsheng gritted his teeth and pushed away Li Yue, who was clinging onto him. He immediately jumped up and killed a few worms that also jumped to him trying to stop them.

Stepping on the dead worm’s body, he quickly ran behind the first line of defence.

The golden-shelled monster was very angry. It turned its head around as Chu Yunsheng ran past him. Its mouthparts was constantly moving and making the grunting sounds. It seemed that it was gathering energy.

Chu Yunsheng was still in its attack range. He wouldn’t be able to run away in time if he didn’t do anything. He had to stop it first!

In the next second, six sword qi immediately shot towards the monster’s mouth. Since the completion of the first two Yuan Tian sub-stages, Chu Yunsheng could slightly control Yuan QI moving direction.

He could also split the Sword Qi or combine the Six Sword Qi if he wanted to.

It wasn’t until now that he had gained a little bit of insight into the true power of the senior practitioner’s sword fighting techniques.

What he needed right now was the most powerful single point of attack. He needed to destroy the monster’s mouthparts. It would be the best if he could temporarily disable the monster’s ability to spit fire.

Under his control, the Six Sword Qi merged and formed a fan-shaped beam and shot straight into golden-shelled monster’s mouth in a split second.

The golden-shelled monster sensed the danger. It instantly closed its big mandibles and attempted to block the Sword Qi. It was even forced to hold back its fire attack.

But Chu Yunsheng’s Sword Qi was filled with powerful Ben Ti Yuan Qi, it instantly broke the golden-shelled monster’s mandibles and destroyed its mouthparts.

The golden-shelled monster instantly screamed in pain. It could not hold the fire in its throat anymore. The fire instantly burst out from its mouth and hit the Sword Qi. The power of the Sword Qi had already been reduced after it broke the monster’s mouthpart, so when it collided with the monster’s fire attack, it was instantly dissipated.

Chu Yunsheng held Tian Weidai, who was also holding the little girl. He could barely dodge the monster’s fire attack while carrying two people with him. Once he dodged the first fire attack, he immediately unleashed the Sword Qi a second time!

This time, the golden-shelled monster could not gather its energy in time. Its mouthpart was completely destroyed by the Sword Qi.

The golden-shelled monster’s defence was much stronger than red-shelled insects and green-shelled insects, and its fire attack was not much weaker than the flaming bird. With every part of its body covered with golden shells, its only weakness was probably its mouthpart.

Chu Yunsheng was lucky because he had taken the opportunity and attacked the monster when it was charging up its fire attack, so the monster could not dodge it in time.

Once the monster’s mouthpart was destroyed, he immediately unleashed the Sword Qi for the last time.

Six Sword Qi formed into two light beams, and were shot inside the monster’s broken mouthparts under Chu Yunsheng’s careful control. After the Sword Qi went inside the monster’s stomach, it started shredding all of the monster’s internal organs. Only

The golden-shelled monster screamed in pain once again. This time it was even louder. It made all the worms around it all stop attacking for a second.

The pain inside its stomach caused it to roll around on the ground. Soon, cracks appeared on the skin under its belly. The red liquid was first leaking slowly from the cracks and then burst out because of its violent struggle, painting the ground red.

“Boom!” The monster finally collapsed on the ground.

Chu Yunsheng was exhausted with energy, but he finally killed it. However, he did not expect that, after the monster was killed, all the worms would suddenly become crazy. Their attacks quickly became much more powerful and fast. Within a moment, Li Yue and the others were covered by them, and then all of them started to charge towards Chu Yunsheng.

All of this happened at the same time.

“Whoosh~~~~~~~~~~~!” The military flares were suddenly fired into the sky behind the second line of defense.

“Get down~~~!!!!!!!” a soldier shouted, “Artillery strike! Get down! ”

Chu Yunsheng and Tian Weidai were both depleted of energy. He did not have time to use an absorption talisman to restore his energy. The worms were still chasing them. Everyone else could get down, but not them. Once they got down on the ground, they would be covered with worms, so he just kept running!
