Chapter 727 - 349: Sneak Attack
The person who ambushed me used a Hotline Particle Super Cannon, which means there are other creatures here besides the Insect Race and my squad members! Suddenly, the previous speculation about the Divine Hidden Clan and the Divine’s Remnant Clan resurfaced in my mind...
But the situation is dire now, and I can’t spare any extra mental resources to think. This thought had just emerged when I forcibly suppressed it. What I need to do now is figure out how to survive the other party’s relentless pursuit. These questions can be pondered later.
Because of the powerful destructive force of the Hotline Particle Super Cannon, the explosions around me generated air waves that significantly affected Fei Feng’s flight. Giant rocks mixed with strong winds kept plummeting, and I didn’t dare pause for a moment, piloting Fei Feng through the massive rocks, searching for the safest escape route. After finally completing a task, I absolutely don’t want to die here!
Su Jiameng gritted her teeth and persisted, but the person who ambushed her relentlessly continued, even adopting a desperate attitude, firing the Hotline Particle Super Cannon recklessly, accelerating the collapse and destruction of the entire underground setting.

The only consolation is that there’s still some distance to the magma level; otherwise, with this guy messing around, where would there be an escape route? I just hope there’s only this one enemy; otherwise, the situation for Liang Xiaonuo and the others would be grim.
After all, they have been comrades with Su Jiameng for years, sharing life-and-death moments. If they were sacrificed here, it wouldn’t be worth it!
Intense explosions echoed from behind, crashing rocks resonating with the lingering roar of the blasts. Su Jiameng thought she had shaken off the enemy but a blink later, that guy was still clinging tenaciously like a stubborn bone.
It’s not vanity; she knew her piloting skills and Fei Feng’s speed—very few could keep up. Although the current geographical conditions slightly hindered progress, she was confident that at least shaking off the enemy that ambushed her shouldn’t be difficult.
Unexpectedly, the gap between them hadn’t widened much, and the enemy was still persistently on her tail!
Her chest throbbed violently, her palms sweating from tension. Since mastering her piloting skills, she’d seldom been pushed this far, usually only she was playing tricks on others! But now... indeed, there’s always a higher mountain.
She gritted her teeth, refusing to relax for a moment, regardless of the formidable enemy, as succumbing to the current situation would heighten the risk of being trapped by the opponent. Her eyes gleamed with indefinable emotions, the terrain here being too unfavorable, forcing her to choose to escape the underground, to the surface, where she could fight freely. Otherwise, it was just the pursuit that awaited.
The person recklessly firing without caring for their own life was a decrement to me, needing caution, so inevitably, it rendered me passive.
"When I reach the surface, let’s see if I don’t make you wish you were dead!" Su Jiameng gritted her teeth, staring intently at the depth shown on the virtual cockpit screen. In less than half a minute, she could start her counterattack! Then, let’s see if you dare be smug; trying for smug won’t kill you!
Liang Xiaonuo and the others successfully returned to the surface, piloting their mechas while watching the deep pit with anticipation, awaiting the familiar figure to appear. However, instead of the figure, there came irregular tremors and collapses from the ground. Liang Xiaonuo’s pupils shrank, "Something happened!"
"Xiao Nuo, there’s an enemy!" Being a Scout-type Warrior, Lu Anchen always had the earliest and most accurate perception of the surroundings.
Just as Lu Anchen finished speaking, a huge Thousand Illusion Beast flew over from the distant mountaintop! Although this Thousand Illusion Beast isn’t an Insect Imperial, it’s at the pinnacle of an Insect General, its Mind Threat making them feel as if a hand were gripping their throats.
Ordinary Thousand Illusion Beasts aren’t very ugly, possessing a pair of colorful wings, an insect’s body, resembling a butterfly from afar. But when its size is amplified thousands or even tens of thousands of times, where’s the slightest aesthetics?
Seeing the roaring Thousand Illusion Beast flying towards them, Liang Xiaonuo and the others felt a churn in their stomachs, as if about to vomit. Those with a fear of clusters would likely faint on the spot.
"Jiameng is still trapped inside. We must figure out a way to tackle this creature ourselves..." Theo, as a Mind Power User and a heavily privileged Jialanluo, was not significantly impacted by this Insect General Thousand Illusion Beast.
He simultaneously activated a hundred mechas, manipulating them to interrupt the roaring of the Thousand Illusion Beast. The Insect Race’s telekinesis doesn’t inherently link to their Level; this Thousand Illusion Beast, though an Insect General, only possessed Level Four telekinesis itself.
"Listen to my command, combined attack, Xiao Nuo takes the main assault, Ah Chen covers, Theo launches a full-force assault!" Cui Hu didn’t have time to contemplate the optimal attack strategy, hastily opting for the group’s usual combat formation.
They were all long-time comrades, having honed an intimate understanding of each other’s combat styles; even a small gesture from one could be swiftly grasped and seamlessly coordinated with by the others.
At this moment, the tremors on the ground intensified, the deep pit’s entrance spewing vigorous smoke and fire.
Suddenly, a dragon-like raging flame erupted skyward from the pit, seeming to dye half the sky in a captivating orange, interspersed with scarlet!
"Now! It’s time to counterattack!" In the underground struggle for survival, Su Jiameng had been suppressing the anger within her heart. Now, upon reaching the surface, she was ready to reclaim everything with interest!
Damn fool, do they really think she’s a sick kitten if she doesn’t show her prowess?! (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
