Chapter 734 Destination
With the white, fluffy mushrooms clearing a path, the group quickly broke through the dense swarm of butterfly insects.
But before they could get very far apart, the Butterfly Zerg surged forward like a tidal wave.
However, there were still some butterfly insectoids in front of them, just not as many as behind them.
Therefore, at this moment, the butterfly insectoids that had been attracted by the constant explosions in front of them also flapped their wings and flew towards them.
Faced with this almost all-around encirclement, Bai Mianmian, who was responsible for clearing the way and covering the rear, calmly wiggled her finger.
Suddenly, red-capped, white-dot mushrooms sprouted in the air around the butterfly insectoids that were attacking the group, and even on their own bodies.
Bai Mianmian's slender finger twitched slightly at that moment.
"Boom—!" All the newly grown mushrooms exploded at the same time.
The violent blast wave swept outwards instantly, and in a moment, all the pursuing butterfly insectoids were either blown away or torn to pieces.
The encirclement, which had begun to shrink, suddenly expanded outward by about four or five meters at this moment.
The aftershocks of the explosion also brushed against everyone. Although Xin Xiao and the others felt a little uncomfortable, their flying speed was not affected at all despite the aftershocks.
Everyone knew that this was Bai Mianmian's intention to protect them.
At this moment, the sight before everyone was no longer just the overwhelming butterfly insectoids.
Even though all they could see was endless yellow sand and parched land, and even though countless butterfly insectoids rushed toward them after the aftershocks of the explosion had dissipated.
At this moment, Xin Xiao and the others couldn't help but feel that the hidden unease in their hearts had been quietly soothed.
It's finally out!
Many people relaxed, and even their breathing became lighter than before.
Xin Xiao, whose expression also relaxed somewhat, glanced around and instantly determined the direction. Without slowing down, he led the group behind him in that direction.
Seeing this, Bai Mianmian followed the person in front while waving her hand to control the mushroom spores to fly out in that direction.
Seeing the butterfly insectoids gathering and rushing towards him, Xin Xiao's eyes burned with intensity, and he raised his right hand to gather his supernatural flames.
But at that moment, countless mushrooms suddenly sprouted in the air in front of the butterfly insectoids.
Xin Xiao's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously slowed down his forward momentum.
"Boom...!" Just then, the mushrooms that had suddenly grown out exploded at the same time.
The Butterfly Zerg, which was directly confronted by this explosive shockwave, was instantly shattered and scattered.
The power of this explosion was significantly weaker than the previous ones, and Xin Xiao, who was at the forefront and directly faced the aftershocks, was the most qualified to speak on the matter.
Silently smoothing his hair, which had been disheveled by the aftershocks of the explosion, Xin Xiao sighed inwardly and accelerated forward.
He originally thought that since he hadn't reminded Bai Mianmian to change direction beforehand, the job of clearing the way would fall back to him, but...
It seems the opponent's strength is even greater than I anticipated.
A serious look appeared in Xin Xiao's eyes.
The group continued forward. Although the butterfly insectoids were not as dense as before, swarms of them would still charge at them from time to time.
Unsurprisingly, none of the approaching butterfly insectoids managed to get within five meters of the group under the bombardment of white mushrooms.
The butterfly insectoids in this area were noticeably weaker than before, as the area cleared by the mushroom explosions had expanded significantly. "Slow down!" Xin Xiao, leading the way, suddenly whispered, then added, "Prepare to land!"
Everyone immediately slowed down and prepared to land at any time.
Suddenly, a bright flame burst forth from Xin Xiao's hand at the front of the group.
The raging flames rapidly extended and stretched, and in the blink of an eye, a flaming sword solidified.
"Whoosh!" Xin Xiao, holding the Flaming Sword, suddenly slashed through the air.
A sword aura carrying flames instantly sliced through the air, slicing a group of butterfly-like insectoids below in half and setting their bodies ablaze.
"Everyone, get down," Xin Xiao commanded in a deep voice, and then suddenly swung his flaming sword forward.
"Whoosh!" The sword energy carrying flames instantly sliced the butterfly insectoid that was rushing towards them at extremely high speed in two, and also set the severed body on fire.
Following closely behind Xin Xiao, Xu Ge and the others rushed towards the ground without any hesitation.
When the first person was still one meter from the ground, a hole large enough for one person to enter suddenly appeared on the previously empty, yellowish-brown ground.
The man continued rushing straight into the cave entrance without slowing down.
Bai Mianmian, who was still at the back of the group, watched the people in front of her file into the cave with nimble movements, and knew that this was their destination.
Over there, Xin Xiao wielded his flaming sword with ferocious power, killing and burning any butterfly insectoid creatures that approached within two meters of the cave entrance.
Seeing that he could handle the siege of the butterfly insectoids, Bai Mianmian stopped controlling the mushroom explosion.
Meanwhile, the crystal core she was holding in her left hand had just disappeared because it had run out of energy, so she replaced it with a new crystal core and continued to absorb the energy inside.
When Xin Xiao was killing the Butterfly Zerg, he would always glance at Bai Mianmian out of the corner of his eye, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Bai Mianmian's gaze towards the slain butterfly insectoids did not show the wariness he expected, not even a trace of it.
Is it because I haven't shown enough strength?
Xin Xiao muttered to himself.
At this point, however, there were no stronger Butterfly Zerg that could make him fully display his strength.
Feeling regretful, Xin Xiao couldn't help but glance at Bai Mianmian again, but deep in his eyes was a deep, unyielding worry.
He didn't know whether bringing Bai Mianmian here was the right or the wrong decision.
Although Bai Mianmian has been protecting them all along, who can guarantee that she isn't plotting to infiltrate their ranks and wipe them out in one fell swoop?
This time, Bai Mianmian noticed Xin Xiao's gaze. Having already reached the top of the cave entrance, she couldn't help but stop and look back.
Their eyes met unexpectedly, and Xin Xiao paused for a moment. Then, while killing the butterfly insectoids, he said, "Madam, this is our temporary base. Please go in as soon as possible. After we give you the things in the research institute, we will send you out."
Bai Mianmian could see Xin Xiao's unease, but she didn't say anything. After looking away, she turned her gaze towards the cave entrance.
Han Feitong landed on the ground, looked up at Bai Mianmian, and said in a firm tone, "Madam, please!"
Pan Cheng, who had been following Bai Mianmian not far away, stood at the cave entrance and waved to her before going in first.
Looking at the dark, gaping hole, Bai Mianmian was speechless.
Their actions looked exactly like luring prey into a trap.
