More than ten minutes ago.

Underground "Hive".

Opening his eyes, Lin Yi felt his whole body was weak and limp, his head dizzy, completely unable to muster any strength.

It was pitch dark all around, almost impossible to see anything.

Lin Yi wanted to struggle to get up.

But he found himself in a strange black prison cage.

It was the effect of this bizarre cage that made his head dizzy and his body powerless.

Then, a voice came to his ear.

"Hey! Hey! Little brother!"

"You're awake?"

Lin Yi looked in the direction of the voice and then noticed, in the darkness, besides himself, there was a massive black shadow imprisoned in the cage.

After his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness.

Lin Yi discovered the person speaking to him was a fat guy.

He was also trapped in the cage, but had obviously woken up earlier than Lin Yi.

This is...

The Insect Hive instance?

No, it's different from what the strategy guide said.

Their starting point should have been the Istena Resistance Army camp, right?

Why are they in this hellhole?

"Little brother, you're from Nuwa Academy, aren't you!"

"That's really a great place, full of beauties everywhere!"

"Unlike our Chiyou Academy, it's completely a monastery."

"When we get out, introduce me to a few girls, ah pui, just one, one is enough!"

"I'm a devoted person, haha!"

The chubby senior was clearly super friendly.

Even though he's in this predicament, seeing Lin Yi wearing the Nuwa Academy uniform, he was thinking about life's big events...

"Senior, what's going on here, it's different from what the strategy guide said." Lin Yi brought the topic back to the right track.

The fat guy was stunned: "Strategy guide, what strategy guide?"

Lin Yi was dumbfounded: "Just the Insect Hive instance strategy guide, you didn't read it?"

The fat guy suddenly realized: "Oh, I can't read, didn't understand, so I had a few brothers tell me. It made my head spin, I forgot everything, haha!"

Lin Yi: "..."

Is this the legendary brave because of being skilled?

The fat guy spat on his fist and punched the cage, making a huge noise.

However, the sturdiness of the cage was beyond his imagination, not damaged at all.

"I probably woke up half an hour earlier than you, opened my eyes and went straight into the insect nest, killed over a hundred, and then you came."

"But you didn't wake up no matter what, I saw you're also a student of Shenxiao, so I saved you."

"Then came a super large bug, damned sneak attack, didn't play by the rules, spat out some nasty stuff and I passed out."

"This cage is weird, now I can't use any strength."

Lin Yi understood.

It seems this chubby senior is quite good.

Although looking at the current situation, if these insects wanted to kill them.

They would probably have acted after the fat senior was sneak attacked and knocked out.

Not killing now, they must have a use for them.

But seeing the fat senior's body with several bloody wounds, Lin Yi knew the battles he went through to protect him were probably more terrible than he imagined.

"Thank you, senior, for saving my life. My name is Lin Yi."

"Once we get out, I will definitely try my best to introduce you to some girls, but whether it works or not depends on your own luck, Senior."

Lin Yi also laughed.

The fat guy was instantly overjoyed: "You're a real brother! I knew I didn't save the wrong person!"

"My name is Sun Dachuan, don't worry, I will protect you throughout this instance. As long as I'm alive, I won't let those bastards harm you!"

"Mr. Lin, you're a Mage, right? See if there's a way to get out of this damn cage."

"As long as I can get out of this cage, I can kill all those bugs outside!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi felt around.

Confined by this black cage.

He discovered that apart from Thunder Element, he couldn't use any Tier Four or below skills.

But Tier Five and above skills were unaffected.

A blinding flash of electric light passed.

Sun Dachuan's vision blurred for a moment, only to see that Lin Yi had already teleported out of the black cage.

Involuntarily, he gave a thumbs up in praise: "You Mages are really strong, awesome!"

Hearing the praise, Lin Yi's heart moved.

If we are talking about strength, this fat senior isn't lacking either.

Because under the observation of the Eye of Omniscience, Sun Dachuan's profession wasn't Warrior.

It wasn't even a main combat profession.

But a life profession: [Heavenly Craftsman].

A life profession, able to slaughter wantonly in the current insect nest promoted two levels to extinction.

This speaks to the ferocity of his combat power.

Lin Yi extended his hand, fingertips wrapped in electric light, a ball of thunder concealed in his palm, which he suddenly pressed against Sun Dachuan's black cage.

Lin Yi confirmed his earlier seen strategy guide.

The guide mentioned that the insects in this instance feared thunder.

This black cage was made of insect secretions.

Unexpectedly, it also feared thunder.

As the current passed, the effect disappeared instantly.

Sun Dachuan exclaimed: "It seems... my strength is back!"

"Awesome, brother!"

"Let's go, we're going to hit these bastards' nest!"

But the next moment, Sun Dachuan's expression changed: "Wait a minute..."

"They say to catch the thief you must catch the king... these bastards have too many, killing them all would take forever..."

"They must want to keep us for something since they captured us!"

"Anyway, the cage is useless now, let's just pretend to be dead in it for a while, and strike straight at their lair!"

...

Time returns to now.

"Catch... them!!"

After a brief shock, the "Prophet" screamed hoarsely, hiding behind a few half-insect people, giving orders.

Lin Yi had long noticed that among these insects, the weakest in combat were these ones.

Rather, it was this old Bideng.

The combat power of those half-insect people was stronger than his.

And the true elite warriors in the Black Scythe insect swarm were the worker insects.

Buzzzzz——!

A whistling wind sound came by the ear, and in the next moment, a few giant Black Scythe Insects, several times larger and faster than normal insects, flew out from within the Hive.

"Previously they did a sneak attack, now I'm still afraid of you?"

Sun Dachuan's black hammer in his hand seemed to have special qualities too.

It swelled against the wind, instantly turning into a terrifying giant hammer dozens of meters long.

Wielding such a massive hammer, he exerted no effort, rather exuding a powerful force.

After a fierce pounding, the entire Hive trembled.

Those few Black Scythe worker insects were immediately smashed into pulp in an instant.

"Graaw——!"

The "Prophet" hiding among the insects let out a weird scream, its antennas on its head released a series of invisible pulsations.

The entire Hive vibrated violently!

The next moment, the dome of the Hive suddenly opened like it was alive!

"Oh my god...!"

Sun Dachuan looked up, instantly dumbfounded.

Above the Hive was a gigantic network made of black chitinous material similar to the cage.

In this giant net, a terrifying giant insect, a thousand meters in size, lay dormant!

Whoosh!

A giant, sharp appendage of the insect suddenly thrust downwards at a speed almost impossible to react to!

Thud!!

After a muffled heavy sound, Sun Dachuan's giant hammer blocked this near-catastrophic strike.

However, it didn't last long.

Almost the very next second, Sun Dachuan's chubby face turned red, he shouted: "Can't... can't hold it!"

"Mr. Lin, run away!"

"You go first, I'll cover the rear!!"

As soon as the words fell, Sun Dachuan's giant hammer could no longer endure.

Boom!!

The enormous force slammed down!

Instantly nailing Sun Dachuan entirely into the ground!
