Chapter 115 Giant Insect
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiao moved.
The horizontal sword in his hand was pointed directly at the head of the insectoid in front.
Since they have chosen to evolve into insectoids that are more like humans and no longer hunt by parasitism, it also means that they have inherited some of the weaknesses of humans.
Perhaps they will evolve some means to protect themselves from or even change this weakness in the future.
But at least now, humans no longer have to rack their brains to find those worms that are hiding somewhere on their bodies when they encounter them.
The insectoid creature clearly hadn't expected the human before it to be even faster.
After letting out a hiss, it could only cross the scythes on its arms in front of its chest in an attempt to block the attack.
However, it still underestimated the power unleashed by Wang Xiao's strike.
With a crisp "snap," the scythe of the nest-guarding insect broke off, and the specially made horizontal blade, still powerful, sliced directly across its neck.
A large amount of green blood gushed out, and a head resembling a locust flew high into the air.
As the hotel manager, to boost morale, you chose to lead the charge and eliminate the enemy's elite forces. You gained 5 experience points in this operation.
Perhaps due to the significant level difference between the two sides, the experience provided to Wang Xiao by the nest-guarding insectoids was much lower than Wang Xiao had anticipated.
Although he was slightly disappointed by the low kill experience, Wang Xiao did not stop after taking down the nest-guarding insectoid with one strike. Instead, he immediately lunged at the next target with his knife.
Although mosquitoes have little meat, Wang Xiao understands the principle that little things add up.
If he kills them fast enough and there are enough nest-guarding insectoids, it will also be a significant amount of experience points.
Upon entering the lair, the group, seeing Wang Xiao draw his sword for the first time, were deeply shocked by the formidable strength he displayed.
When they met the nest-guarding insects, they thought this trip might be dangerous.
But Wang Xiao's performance showed them what a being even more ferocious than a monster truly was.
All the insectoids along the way were killed with a single strike by Wang Xiao.
"Is this the strength of the owner of the Peace Hotel? It's too strong! No wonder even a large group like the Qin Group respects the Peace Hotel so much and actively seeks to cooperate with them. With this strength, they are not on the same level as other ability users."
"No wonder one of my buddies suddenly became incredibly arrogant after joining the Peace Hotel, like it was something to brag about. If I had a boss like that as my backer, I'd be even more swaggering than him!!"
"I heard there are a lot of benefits after joining the hotel. You all know about Night Abyss Dream, right? The Peace Hotel employees get them for free!"
"Such a thing exists?!"
"It's a pity I just joined the last recruitment drive; I wonder when the Peace Hotel will be recruiting again..."
……
The two leaders, listening to their subordinates' discussion, could only manage a wry smile.
What can they do?
It's a fact that we're not as capable as others, and it's also a fact that our benefits are inferior.
Even if they wanted to say something to stop it, what could they say?
You should know that the Peace Hotel also holds the key to turning ordinary people into superhumans!
Those who accepted the commission from the Peace Hotel were almost all regular guests of the hotel.
They knew all too well how powerful Wang Xiao's connections were with the Peace Hotel, so when they saw Wang Xiao charge forward, they didn't hesitate to grab their weapons and follow him decisively.
After easily dispatching one of the nest-guarding insectoids, Wang Xiao turned to look at the other two forces, who were lagging far behind, and reminded their leaders, "Gentlemen, aren't you going to bring your men to catch up?"
Upon hearing Wang Xiao's voice, the leaders of the two factions immediately ordered their men to follow.
The other factions' ability users were not to be outdone, and for a moment, fierce fighting broke out in the corridor between the fifth and sixth floors.
Wang Xiao, like a sharp knife, pointed straight at the rooftop.
When Wang Xiao stepped onto the seventh floor alone, a creature far larger than an ordinary nest-guarding insect was guarding the entrance to the next floor.
This insectoid was a full head taller than the ordinary nest-guarding insectoid, and its carapace was more refined, like it was wearing a suit of armor. The scythes on its arms were also thicker.
[Nest Guard Captain]
Race: Abyssal Insectoid
[Level: lv6]
[Introduction: Elite insectoids who have undergone a second evolution, possessing greater combat power and higher intelligence, are loyal guardians of the 'Nest' and are responsible for leading other insectoids to protect the nest.]
"Level 6? And intelligence too, tsk tsk, did they finally give in?"
Having learned about the monster before him, Wang Xiao gripped his sword and walked toward the elite insectoid.
In Wang Xiao's eyes, as the "Bone Removal and Dismemberment" technique was activated, red lines were gradually appearing on the insectoid's body.
The surrounding insectoids sensed the threat emanating from Wang Xiao and tried to stop him, but were held back by other human ability users who arrived from behind.
The elite insectoid let out a low growl, and the other insectoids immediately stopped moving and retreated, making way for a passage.
Wang Xiao stopped and looked at the elite insectoid in front of him, saying, "Oh? Now that you have some intelligence, you want to fight me one-on-one? Are you trying to intimidate others by killing me? Well, you really do have an underdeveloped left brain and a completely underdeveloped right brain..."
The elite insectoid did not respond, clearly because it could not understand Wang Xiao's words.
But its actions had already explained everything to Wang Xiao.
With its legs slightly bent, it suddenly pushed off the ground and slashed straight at Wang Xiao!
This captain of the insectoids is extremely fast, far surpassing ordinary nest-guarding insectoids in both strength and speed.
Faced with the insectoid's fierce attack, Wang Xiao dodged the sweeping scythe while simultaneously raising his sword and advancing instead of retreating, aiming straight for the insectoid's throat.
This has always been Wang Xiao's fighting habit.
The captain, an insectoid, reacted just as quickly, swiftly slashing down with his other scythe, barely managing to block Wang Xiao's fatal blow.
Other ability users wanted to step forward to help, but Wang Xiao raised his hand to stop them, saying, "No need to help me. You all go and deal with the other insectoids; I'll handle this one!"
Seeing that Wang Xiao had spoken, everyone could only turn around and continue helping the ordinary people deal with the other nest-guarding insects.
Wang Xiao also joined the battle against the captain, the insectoid.
Of course, it was more of an observation than a battle.
It's true that Captain Insectman is very strong, but compared to Wang Xiao, who has even higher stats, he's still a bit lacking.
Through observation, Wang Xiao had to admit that the insectoids, after gaining intelligence, were on par with, or even slightly stronger than, the current top-tier ability users in terms of both actions and reactions.
However, Wang Xiao was not included in this top-tier list.
The battle lasted for about three minutes.
Wang Xiao gradually figured out the attack pattern of this captain insectoid. He deliberately created an opening, and the captain insectoid fell for it.
Seizing the opportunity, Wang Xiao immediately unleashed a horizontal slash. By the time the captain, the insectoid, tried to raise his arm to block, it was too late.
The specially made horizontal blade swiftly tore open its abdomen, leaving a deep wound from which a large amount of blood flowed out.
The insectoid captain let out a painful hiss and staggered back several steps. For the first time, this creature, which had already acquired a certain level of intelligence, exhibited emotional fluctuations similar to those of a human.
That emotion is called fear.
Unfortunately, Wang Xiao gave it no chance to catch its breath, pressing his advantage and slashing repeatedly with his sword, each strike landing precisely on the same wound.
Finally, after the seventh strike, the elite insectoid's abdomen was completely severed, its upper and lower body separated, and blood and internal organs spilled all over the ground.
Even so, the elite insectoids did not die immediately.
It struggled to crawl forward with its remaining upper body, trying to continue attacking Wang Xiao and blocking his advance.
Wang Xiao walked forward expressionlessly, plunged his knife into its head, and twisted it gently.
The elite insectoid's body convulsed violently a few times before becoming completely still.
[Defeat the level 6 Nest Guard Captain and gain 100 experience points.]
"It gave significantly more experience points than other insects."
Wang Xiao flicked the blood off his knife and looked ahead.
Despite the obstruction of this insectoid leader, Wang Xiao had a strong premonition that the entity in charge of commanding the entire insectoid race was getting closer and closer to him.
"keep going!"
At Wang Xiao's command, everyone immediately followed.
However, just as the group was about to step onto the stairs leading to the eighth floor, a violent tremor suddenly came from above.
Wang Xiao's expression changed slightly, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
The shaking intensified, and dust and gravel began to fall from the ceiling.
Several ability users asked nervously, "Boss Wang, what's going on?"
But Wang Xiao couldn't give an answer either, since the commotion didn't seem like something an earthquake could cause.
Just then, the shaking stopped.
Immediately afterwards, a large hole was smashed into the previously intact rooftop ceiling.
A huge black shadow fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the corridor in front of everyone!
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, everyone saw the monster's true form.
It was a giant insect, twice the size of a small delivery truck!
Its shape is somewhat like an earthworm magnified hundreds of times, with a hard shell on its back covered with a large number of sharp spines. Its head has no eyes, but instead a huge mouth full of all kinds of sharp teeth.
At first glance, Wang Xiao thought it was an insect from the movie "Dune" that had escaped.
[Devourer]
Race: Abyssal Insectoid.
[Level: lv6.]
[Introduction: A giant unit evolved from the Abyss Soul Claw under special conditions. Its massive body gives it extremely strong destructive and defensive capabilities, and it is also one of the guardians of the 'Nest'.]
Its carapace can withstand most attacks, and the venomous stingers on its back can be actively launched to attack enemies from a distance, carrying dangerous toxins that impair movement.
[Special Note: Its appearance here indicates that the 'Nest' has detected a threat. Please handle the situation with extreme caution.]
Watching the devourer rush towards him, Wang Xiao used a cloth he carried to wipe the blood off his sword and whispered:
"As expected, I can't let you live!"
