Chapter 636: Chapter 423 Didak’s Attack_2 Chapter 636: Chapter 423 Didak’s Attack_2 “Hmph!”
Madison’s face turned sour, and he quickly turned around, leading two people to rush toward the surrounding Croco-knights, seemingly venting his frustration on them.
The reason Chen Lun had arranged it this way was because Will and Federica, as “Black Knights,” were like fish in water in this dim environment, which allowed them to complete their task more effectively.
Although this was the investigative team’s first operation, they coordinated well. With the support of Lane and the other four, Will and Federica smoothly climbed onto the giant monster egg, ready to deal with the Pale Beetle that was carrying the arch.
Chen Lun suddenly sensed something and furrowed his brows.
He turned his head and saw the air subtly ripple twice.
Chen Lun’s eyes narrowed.
With an Insight of 71 points, he quickly captured the traces of the enemy, and slowly, two tall, slender, and sinister figures emerged in his sight—
They were two human-shaped monster insects covered in spikes, their bodies gleaming with a metallic silver luster. One had two sharp horns like bull’s horns on its head, and the other had folded wings on its back. Their arms were elongated, resembling those of a mantis, and their limbs, curved like large scythes, were frighteningly sharp.
They were moving silently, skulking towards Lane and the others, seemingly intending to launch a stealth attack.
‘Two Sons of the Ancient God Didak…’
Chen Lun’s gaze deepened.
He had encountered this breed of an Ancient God’s descendants on the edge of darkness and knew their strength well. Their physical strength was formidable; even Mid Sequence Transcendents, unprepared, would struggle to survive a Didak hunt.
Chen Lun was about to kill these two Didaks when he suddenly turned his head towards his back.
‘There are more coming this way, and fast…’
He stared intently ahead, as if seeing through the dim environment, a series of sinister figures swiftly moving.
Chen Lun already knew the answer in his heart.
Chen Lun looked back at his squad members, thought for a moment, and then disappeared from his spot with Instantaneous Movement. As the team leader, he had to intercept the numerous Didaks coming from behind, or the squad would face tremendous danger.
As for the two Didaks attempting the stealth attack, he decided to let his team members handle them.
If they couldn’t deal with such enemies, there was no point in continuing their mission, especially since… in the Dark World, the number of Didaks was far greater than this.
Several seconds later.
Chen Lun’s figure instantly landed in front of the fourteen Insect People, a sudden stop causing a surge of airflow, making them pause their movements and stand still, lifting their bizarre heads with numerous pairs of black eyes to stare at this unfamiliar human.
These Didaks varied in form, sporting different shells and sharp claws—some focused on defense, others on offense, some had wings and stingers, and others had an abnormally strong right arm covered in a shell, like a crab’s pincer. Some even coiled into a ball, like a spiked sphere.
In short, from a human’s level of knowledge, it would be difficult to comprehend their structure.
“I haven’t battled in a while, let me warm up with you guys.”
Chen Lun said flatly.
His expression immediately turned ferocious, and the “Balag Necklace” on his chest suddenly diffused, spreading countless wires that wrapped around his body. However, before this, his skin was already covered in pale scales.
Pale Knight mode activated!
Chen Lun immediately revealed his powerful combat stance, intending for a quick and decisive battle.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The three-meter-tall Pale Knight stretched his right arm forward, and a terrifying swarm of snakes burst forth, flooding towards the Insect People like a torrent!
The fourteen Didaks, unable to contain their rage at being provoked, raised their “weapons” grown from their bodies, and swooshed toward Chen Lun.
Both sides moved incredibly fast, shadows flickering in the dim light.
Continuous heavy thuds sounded, like a relentless bombardment.
Madison suddenly felt a surge of intuition, his scalp turning numb as if a great disaster was imminent. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a slight distortion in the environment and instinctively warned his companion.
But Madison was a step too late; by the time Rocky realized something was wrong, a piercing screech was already coming from behind him.
An extremely fast slash fell like lightning, striking directly on Rocky’s back and splitting him in two on the spot!
A two-meter-tall silver, sinister figure stood over Rocky’s corpse, its mantis arms dripping with fresh blood. It raised its sharp blade, extended its slender tongue to lick the blood, then let out a hissing sound of pleasure.
“Damn it! Everyone, be careful! There are more enemies!”
Madison, transformed into a white bone ghoul, roared.
Hearing his shout, Lane and the others were shocked, quickly killing the Croco-knights in front of them, then retreating several dozen meters to stand back-to-back.
Just as Madison finished speaking, a slashing attack appeared from his side, swoosh, severing his robust left leg!
The bone-covered armor shattered like porcelain, instantly breaking!
In pain, Madison stumbled a bit.
The other Insect Person who attacked him revealed itself, seemingly possessing strong combat instincts. Seizing the opportunity at Madison’s fumble, it extended its folded wings and, vibrating them at a high frequency, took to the air and flew behind Madison’s head, its mantis arm fiercely striking down.
