I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Sudden Upheaval, Erosion Insect!

From perpetual night to perpetual day.

The entire sky was illuminated.

Above the Black Tent, a massive rift appeared, pouring countless lightning bolts onto the towering Mountain Giant.

In an instant, its enormous body was struck black as pitch!

Each object, granted life and animation, turned charred and flaked away, finally revealing the black orb again.

Crack, crack, crack...

Cracks appeared on the black orb, and with the sound of shattering, the entire black orb turned into powder, scattering into dust!

Only then did Han Zhan finally breathe a sigh of relief.

”We won!”

He looked up, seeing Yi Fan’s face breaking into a smile simultaneously, but in the next second, his smile turned into astonishment, and his pupils looked behind Yi Fan in shock.

A more terrifying aura rose up behind Han Zhan.

Han Zhan saw Yi Fan mouth the words, ”Run!”

In Han Zhan’s Eight Urgent Fist state, he could only instinctively turn sideways, and an attack penetrated his abdomen!

The huge impact sent Han Zhan flying backwards, hugging the Fu Xi Zither, his expression bewildered as he gazed at the sky.

The Black Tent had not disappeared.

Could the Wanderer still be alive?

No, the black orb was its true body; there was no mistake, dead meant dead.

Then what was with the Black Tent?

It was only then that Han Zhan saw clearly who had ambushed him from behind.

Bai Shuang, standing in mid-air beside her, was an adult Wanderer!

Having absorbed the life energy of the dead juvenile Wanderer, this adult Wanderer maintained a special humanoid form, with two bone wings spread open, its right hand retracting from the attack.

In its chest, a larger black orb was emitting a faint light.

It’s him!

Han Zhan’s pupils shrank sharply.

”Are you surprised?” Bai Shuang was still in heavy makeup like the first time Han Zhan met her. She gracefully stood beside the adult Wanderer.

”This adult Wanderer is my surprise for you. How do you like it?”

An adult Wanderer, a Tier Three Peak Insect Race, with quasi-Fourth Tier strength.

If Han Zhan and his team could barely handle a juvenile Wanderer, an adult Wanderer was utterly beyond their capability!

Only now did Han Zhan realize this was an elaborate trap.

”I used ’Lies’ to disguise it, brought it along, and then released it at the right moment for the final blow.”

Yi Fan ran over, standing in front of Han Zhan with a serious expression. ”Why would you do this?”

”Why? Hahaha! Why?”

As Bai Shuang laughed, tears suddenly rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

She raised a hand, trying to cover her eyes, but her other hand seemed uncontrollable, grabbing her wrist.

Bai Lu tilted her head awkwardly, and Han Zhan and Yi Fan across from her saw a flash of a silver-white insect image in her pupils!

”What was that?!”

”The second time. No mistake, this is the second time I’ve seen it!”

”What do you mean the second time? What do you know?”

Yi Fan saw Han Zhan weakly raise his hand, pointing at Bai Shuang, and said, ”Bai Shuang, she’s been parasitized.”

”Parasitized?!”

”Yes, the silver-white insect image just now in her pupils is the legendary Erosion Insect!”

The Erosion Insect, Tier Four Insect Race.

In Lin Jingxuan’s notes, this type of Insect Race should have been completely eradicated thirty-two years ago during a large-scale insect disaster, wiped out by the First War Zone of that time!

This is also why Han Zhan couldn’t believe it the first time he saw the silver-white insect image.

Tier Four Insect Race is simply beyond their capability at this stage.

The reason it’s categorized as Tier Four is because of its terrifying Talent Ability, [Brain Erosion].

Any creature invaded by the Erosion Insect’s brain can have its body completely possessed by the Talent Ability [Brain Erosion], controlling that creature entirely and parasitizing within!

Furthermore, it has the traits of asexual reproduction and division.

This is why the Erosion Insect’s danger far exceeds other Insect Races of the same tier.

Once massive invasions by Erosion Insects occur, turning humans into puppets with only a shell remaining, the disaster they would cause is unimaginable.

In Blue Star’s history, there is an incident where a careless Tier Seven Powerhouse had his brain invaded by an Erosion Insect. He slaughtered an entire city he once protected, leaving the place desolate, bodies strewn everywhere.

It took a vast amount of time, energy, and coordinated efforts to finally resolve it, with enormous losses!

The current Bai Shuang had obviously been controlled by an Erosion Insect, becoming a complete puppet.

And her awkward struggle was merely a remnant of instinct triggered by Yi Fan’s voice.

”You should go first.” After understanding Han Zhan’s explanation, Yi Fan’s expression turned complex. ”I have the Immortal Talent, I can’t die.”

”I can’t leave.” Han Zhan barely stood up, shaking his head.

”The adult Wanderer’s [Black Tent] has extended its range tenfold after absorbing the dead juvenile Wanderer.”

”At our current speed, we wouldn’t reach the edge of the Black Tent before it catches up and kills us.”

”Moreover, there’s still the lurking Erosion Insect watching intently.”

”This is a deliberately designed, inevitable death scenario.”

Here, Han Zhan’s previous anxious expression suddenly turned calm.

”Yi Fan, you still have four Immortal chances left, correct?”

”Yes, within today, there are still four.” Yi Fan did not understand why Han Zhan asked this.

He saw Han Zhan suddenly grin, breaking into a smile.

In such circumstances, he could still smile?

”Can you give me the time for just one song?” Han Zhan, clutching his abdomen, slowly sat down and asked.

”No problem.”

With Yi Fan’s affirmative response, Han Zhan no longer cared about anything else, immersing himself in the Fu Xi Zither, and began to play again.

The zither melody flowed, sounding like pearls and jade, crisp and resonant.

Zither Tune, Clear Heart Powder.

The heavily consumed Spiritual Power, along with the terrifying bloody hole on his body, began to visibly heal!

Seeing this, ”Bai Shuang” and the Wanderer moved.

They knew of Han Zhan’s power; the strike that ended the juvenile Wanderer was so potent they had to think twice.

The Wanderer raised its hands, sending a pitch-black energy impact, which Yi Fan rushed forward to block at all costs.

At that moment, ”Bai Shuang” had already closed in, grabbing his shoulder.

”Your Immortal body is fake. You don’t have an Immortal body!” ”Bai Shuang” said while the silver-white insect image in her pupils began to split into another, crawling up Yi Fan’s arm, trying to enter his body!

Yi Fan hesitated for a moment, being grabbed face-to-face.

But then, with a sudden headbutt, he head-slammed ”Bai Shuang” in the face.

”Fake or not, it’s not up to you to decide,” Yi Fan raised a hand, squeezing out a silver-white insect from his body, and crushed it with force.

[Immortal], remaining attempts: 2.
