Chapter 396 Insect Swarm
Bai Qiuning was not surprised by this situation. Apart from having extremely strong lurking abilities, her black cats could only deal with enemies below the ace level.

And Si Ting's subordinates have several aces.

If Bai Qiu Ning hadn't seen that Si Han was about to die, he wouldn't have risked exposing himself.

If it weren't for how important Si Han was, but Bai Qiu Ning overheard their conversation and knew that if he allowed Si Ting to open the seal and release the underground demon, he would also suffer, so he had to take action.

The reason why she was here was because Bai Qiu Ning was still in the imperial capital on the night Ruan Qingsha was wanted.

She accidentally met Si Han who was captured. Because she was not sure she could save him, she followed him here.

"Ma'am, could you tell me who you are?"

Si Ting appeared polite, but his eyes were very cold.

He and his subordinates didn't even notice that they were being followed. If this woman had any connection with the Red Dragon Queen, wouldn't that mean their plan would have been exposed long ago?

Seeing Bai Qiuning remained silent, Si Ting's tone could not help but rise: "If you are unwilling to confess, there is no guarantee of what will happen to you."

"Nineteen eighty-seven sixty-five..."

Bai Qiuning suddenly counted backwards, leaving Si Ting and his subordinates confused as to what this woman was doing.

When he counted to four, Bai Qiuning raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist: "According to my calculations, the person I'm waiting for will arrive in three seconds."

Si Ting laughed, thinking that this woman was very interesting: "Who are you waiting for?"

"Maybe it's me."

A calm yet majestic voice suddenly sounded above everyone's heads.

This plain voice was like thunder, shaking Si Ting and his subordinates all over.

They slowly raised their heads as if their necks were rusted, and saw the Red Dragon Queen floating in the air.

Si Ting was a little dazed. He had been thinking about how to deal with the Red Dragon Queen all his life, but at this moment he least wanted to see this figure.

Bai Qiuning was also a little surprised. She remembered that she had entrusted Su Feng to inform Shen Cheng, so how come the person who showed up was the Red Dragon Queen.

Suddenly, Bai Qiu Ning felt his body lighten as someone picked him up from behind, pulling away from Si Ting and the others.

Bai Qiuning looked up and finally saw Shen Cheng's familiar face.

Shen Cheng looked down at her, smiled and whispered, "I'll settle the score with you when we get back."

Bai Qiu Ning then remembered that he had escaped from the Eternal Empire because he was afraid that Shen Cheng would be angry, and now he was finally caught.

Shen Cheng suddenly appeared and rescued Bai Qiuning and Si Han, causing Si Ting's subordinates to react subconsciously.

But as soon as they moved, they suddenly exploded like a watermelon, and blood and flesh splattered all over the ground.

Si Ting was covered in blood, but he still stood there motionless.

Because he knew that he and his subordinates had no power to resist at all. In front of the Red Dragon Queen, the ace was not much different from an ordinary person.

"Zhou Cheng and Bai Bo really can't hold you back."

In this desperate situation, Si Ting showed a meaningful smile on his face: "Fortunately, I still have one last trump card, which is also my gift to your Majesty."

Si Han shouted loudly: "Stop him from committing suicide!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. Si Ting's body suddenly exploded, and countless blood spilled in all directions, filling the last blank space of the black dragon pattern under everyone's feet.

The entire floor suddenly lit up, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Si Han and Bai Qiu Ning's faces changed, because they had both heard Si Ting mention what was under the floor?
There was also a hint of anger in the Red Dragon Queen's eyes. She didn't expect that Si Ting would rather die than cause trouble for her.

Only Shen Cheng was confused. He had no idea where this place was and he just followed the Red Dragon Queen here.

Amidst the flickering light, countless cracks began to appear on the floor and it collapsed, revealing a dark, deep hole underneath.

This cave is unremarkable, and Shen Cheng can't see anything special about it that could make the Red Dragon Queen so nervous.

The Red Dragon Queen split herself into two, leaving her clone outside and rushing straight into the black hole. At the same time, she called out to Shen Cheng, "Follow me in."

Just as Shen Cheng was about to take action, Bai Qiuning had already grabbed Shen Cheng's clothes: "Be careful!"

Si Han also said to Shen Cheng: "The insects below should be the same swarm we encountered underground last time, so be careful."

Why is there still a matter of bugs?

Shen Cheng nodded and simply put Bai Qiu Ning and Si Han into the micro world, otherwise it would not be safe to leave them here.

Then he jumped into the cave and chased after the Red Dragon Queen.

The Red Dragon Queen's clone who stayed outside opened her arms, ready to fill the seal again.

Shen Cheng originally thought that this black hole would be very deep, but he didn't expect it to reach the bottom in an instant, and the Red Dragon Queen who was walking in front of him disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Cheng felt his vision go dark and a familiar feeling of weightlessness came over his body, and he was suddenly startled.

He thought that the seal above his head was blocking the passage leading to the underground, but now he realized that it was blocking the entrance to a parallel world.

There is a huge difference between the two. If it is simply underground, then the scale of the swarm must not be too large, otherwise it would be impossible to build the imperial capital here.

If it is a parallel world, then no one knows how big it is.

Judging from the Red Dragon Queen's serious look, this is probably no small matter.

The feeling of weightlessness disappeared, and Shen Cheng's vision became bright again.

It cannot be said that the light has been restored, because all that can be seen is pitch black, and it is useless even if one can see in the dark.

Shen Cheng flew forward for a distance before finally seeing the Red Dragon Queen.

She floated in the air, her red dragon robe fluttering in the wind, her eyes fixed on the darkness ahead.

"You will stand guard behind me later. Don't let any bugs escape. Do you understand?"

The Red Dragon Queen's tone was even more serious than when she heard that Zhou Cheng and Bai Bo had betrayed her.

Shen Cheng nodded: "Leave it to me."

He looked back and saw the entrance was vaguely visible and was shrinking at a slow speed. The Red Dragon Queen's clone outside was closing the entrance. Shen Cheng continued to stare at the front with the Red Dragon Queen, and there was a faint movement in the darkness.

Shen Cheng heard it clearly. It was the sound of flapping wings, and there were more and more of them, like a swarm of mosquitoes.

"Buzz buzz buzz."

A bug suddenly appeared in Shen Cheng's sight.

This insect is pitch black all over and looks a bit like a praying mantis, but it is much more ferocious and terrifying than a praying mantis, and its body size is like that of an adult bull.

Shen Cheng judged at a glance that the strength of this insect was about the same as that of a high-level demon, and was not too strong.

According to the cockroach theory, when there is a cockroach in your home, it means that your whole house is full of cockroaches.

This theory also applies now. When this insect that looks like a praying mantis appears, the second, third, fourth... more and more insects emerge from the darkness.

Shen Cheng's originally relaxed mood suddenly became solemn, because in just a few seconds, the number of insects in front of him had increased from one to countless.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The dense flying sound was like a devilish sound piercing the ears. Looking around, the entire field of vision was full of insects. Countless insects in the air were crowded together, like a large dark cloud covering the sky, and the number of insects in it reached at least hundreds of millions.

Hundreds of millions of high-level demons?
Shen Cheng's scalp felt numb and he no longer had the relaxed attitude he had before.

There is no telling whether there are millions of high-level monsters in the entire Dragon Realm, but the number of insects that appear in the field of vision is a hundred times the size of the entire Dragon Realm.

No wonder the Red Dragon Queen looked as if she was facing a formidable enemy. No matter how powerful she was, she would be helpless against such a large number.

The swarm of insects had discovered the passage that had suddenly been opened, and were flying towards this side with a buzzing sound, covering the sky and the sun.

The Red Dragon Queen's body temperature gradually rose, and waves of heat surged out of her body like a tsunami, quickly heating the surrounding air.

Shen Cheng felt that the Red Dragon Queen suddenly turned into a human-shaped sun. Her whole body emitted a somewhat dazzling red light, and heat radiation radiated from her body as if it were free.

Shen Cheng could still bear it at a close distance, but it was different for the insects that got closer. They were ignited by the thermal radiation and turned into balls of fire falling from the sky.

However, the Red Dragon Queen's actions also seemed like a signal, which completely alarmed the entire insect swarm. To put it appropriately, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest.

The dark cloud composed of countless insects in the distance suddenly became chaotic, and more insects flew towards this side.

Shen Cheng couldn't stand the heat radiation emanating from the Red Dragon Queen, so he had to step back and looked up to see an extremely magnificent scene.

The thermal radiation produced by the Red Dragon Queen is tens of kilometers long, like a giant hazy red light ball in the darkness.

The swarm of insects in the distance was like a huge black cloud, crashing into the red light ball. Countless insects rushed into the heat radiation one after another, and the insects that fell after being ignited formed a waterfall like a flame because of their large number.

The attack range created by the Queen of the Red Mansion was already large enough, but more insects were circling around the edge of her attack, trying to rush towards the exit of the parallel world.

Shen Cheng finally understood why the Red Dragon Queen brought him along again, because facing such a terrifying number, even she could not take care of some of the ones that slipped through the net.

Shen Cheng used the Shadow of Rebirth to split two of his selves into two and guarded the three directions of the exit respectively, shooting down all the insects that tried to escape by bypassing the Red Dragon Queen.

The entrance was still closing slowly. According to Shen Cheng's estimation, it would be completely closed within ten minutes at this speed.

As the most powerful legend of our time, the Red Dragon Queen shouldn't be unable to last even ten minutes... right?

Shen Cheng found that there were more and more insects appearing in front of him. After he smashed a bug that tried to break through, he looked up and found that the heat radiation from the Red Dragon Queen was somewhat unstoppable.

Just like a flame can evaporate a few water drops, but if a large basin of water is poured on it, only the flame will be extinguished.

When hundreds of millions of insects swarmed over, the Red Dragon Queen's heat radiation would not have enough time to burn so many insects to death and would simply be completely submerged.

The Red Dragon Queen's goal is not to save herself, but to prevent the swarm from entering the real world. Once the swarm passes her and approaches the exit, the two will fail.

When the dark swarm of insects was about to overwhelm the Red Dragon Queen, an extremely bright light suddenly appeared.

The Red Dragon Queen finally used her dragon breath.

Her dragon breath has no extra additional effects, just extreme light and heat. High-temperature flames of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of degrees swept out like a tsunami, and all the insects along the way were completely vaporized before they were touched by the dragon breath.

Shen Cheng, who was several kilometers away, could feel the heat wave coming towards him.

The huge dragon's breath spurted out over ten kilometers in one breath, and the dark cloud-like swarm of insects was bitten off in an instant.

The Red Dragon Queen breathed out more than a dozen times in succession, and the pressure suddenly eased. The dark clouds were shaved off layer by layer by her.

The exit of this parallel world has been closed to about half, and it only needs another five minutes to be completely closed.

Just when the situation seemed to be under control, a strange sound came from the darkness.

"Woo!"

Shen Cheng looked up and his expression changed instantly.

I saw more insects appearing in the darkness. The words "covering the sky and blocking out the sun" were not even enough to describe it. Countless insects were crowded together so densely that there was no space for them to fly. They were squeezed into a black continent that seemed to be suspended in the air. Among them, some insects as big as hills could be vaguely seen surging.

This number is not just hundreds of millions, it is simply more than tens of billions.

Shen Cheng was dumbfounded by the continent made up of insects. This was far more than the population of the three major forces in the real world combined.

If they really run away, every ordinary person will have to fight at least a few hundred high-level demon-like insects.

After being shocked, Shen Cheng immediately left two shadows behind and flew towards the Red Dragon Queen, because he had a hunch that his mother-in-law might not be able to stop him.

After the Zerg continent appeared, the Red Dragon Queen did not panic. Instead, she twisted her body suddenly, revealing her hundred-meter-long red dragon form, and opened her mouth to spit at the Zerg in front of her.

Tens of millions of high-temperature dragon breaths expanded from more than ten kilometers to hundreds of kilometers in one breath, vaporizing countless insects and killing at least tens of millions of insects in an instant.

Two Sun Spears suddenly flew over, piercing into the insect swarm one after the other, detonating like a nuclear bomb, forming two dazzling balls of light.

The Red Dragon Queen glanced at Shen Cheng, and her graceful dragon body soared into the air, continuously spewing dragon breath around the swarm of insects in front of her.

Shen Cheng also continued to create Sun Spears and threw them forward as if they were free.

But no matter how frequently the Red Dragon Queen and Shen Cheng attacked, their attack range and the number of kills were insignificant to the continent composed of tens of billions of insects, and they could not cause any hindrance.

The entire Zerg continent is still moving forward at a slow speed, approaching the exit of the parallel world little by little.
