PFC Chapter 596 Insect Demon's Nest
Chapter 596 Insect Demon's Nest
I take back what I just said about him being an elite guard.
Seeing the insect guard being woken up by his companion's slap, the elves felt ashamed. They had just thought that the guard was very well-mannered and would not pay attention to the prisoner.
I just realized she was asleep. Where can I even begin to explain this...?
"What did you do last night?"
"Going to play Bug Killer..."
"Deduct 200!"
The insect demons didn't exchange many words; they simply woke up the guards and then walked over to them.
coming!
The elves immediately tensed up, staring intently at the insect demons, waiting for them to speak.
However, the insect demons' first few words were not directed at them. After seeing the elves, they began to whisper among themselves.
"Are these the long-eared people the king is looking for?"
"Yes, it seems to be called something like... something spirit?"
"Tsk~ Wasn't it said to be very good-looking? If you ask me, he's not even as handsome as me..."
The insect demons chattered amongst themselves, as if watching a monkey, making the elves quite embarrassed. Finally, they couldn't hold back any longer and had their captain, Enruchi, speak up:
Who are you? What do you want?
"What? Let's do it!"
"?"
Just as the elves were puzzled, the leader of the insect demons suddenly spoke up, saying to them:
"Take them all away!"
As soon as they finished speaking, several insect demons lifted them up and began to take them away to other places.
"You! What do you want to do!"
Upon seeing this, all the elves were shocked and tried to break free, but no matter how hard they struggled, they could not break free. Instead, as their struggle intensified, the threads tightened more and more.
At this point, they were completely out of options and could only watch helplessly as these insects carried them forward.
That's why they were able to see the whole picture of the place.
It turned out that this was a huge underground cave. The cave was dark, gloomy, and extremely cold, just like a monster's lair.
The few insect demons they had seen earlier were just the tip of the iceberg. Only after leaving the spider silk cage and entering the real insect demon territory could they truly appreciate the sheer size of this race.
The cave was enormous, and almost every corner was filled with the figures of insect demons. With just a light sweep, one could see hundreds of insects flying around everywhere.
This scene is certainly not very friendly to those with insect phobia, and the elves, as a race that loves beauty, also looked uncomfortable after seeing this.
Fortunately, the insect demon's patrol route did not last long. Before long, they arrived at their destination, a small courtyard in the cave that was out of place with the surrounding environment.
In a cave teeming with insect demons, a strange-looking courtyard appeared for some reason. The courtyard was built in the style of ancient Chinese architecture, and even in this dark cave, it had a certain charm and looked antique.
Of course, the most distinctive feature is the lanterns hanging at the entrance of the courtyard. As one of the few sources of light in this dark cave, these two lanterns are naturally extraordinary.
Several elves carried it over, and when they turned their gaze to the lit lantern, they all showed surprise.
Although they didn't recognize the lantern, they could roughly guess its function from its appearance. However, as they were observing it, they suddenly discovered that there was a human face on the surface of the lantern.
"What are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy before?!"
"Damn, these bugs actually brought a few young women with them. Are they going to give me a taste of the good life?"
"Tsk! You impotent guy, you're going to have sex? Get lost! Hahaha!"
"You! I'm going to kill you!!!"
When they realized the elves were watching them, the two face lanterns suddenly spoke, teasing and joking with them.
The young lady was naturally referring to the elves. These creatures had delicate skin and tender flesh, so calling them lantern monsters wasn't too problematic.
However, these words terrified the elves. They had never seen a talking lantern before; it was beyond their comprehension and almost scared them out of their wits.
"Perhaps, perhaps it's just a magical creation..."
Fortunately, Enruchi, as the team's eldest brother, remained relatively stable, comforting the younger members of the team.
The words "a magical creation" calmed the elves down.
However, they probably didn't expect that what followed would shock them even more.
Then, the insect spirits, accompanied by their fairies, arrived at the courtyard gate and gently knocked twice.
Boom! ! !
After knocking for about ten seconds, the courtyard slowly began to move, and with a creaking sound, the gate slowly opened.
"you....."
After the small door opened, a figure peeked out. Unlike the other insect demons in the cave, he was a... ghost?
It was a humanoid figure, wearing an open yellow robe, with blue skin, a demon-like face, two horns on its head, fangs in its mouth, and a vertical pupil on its forehead, making it look quite terrifying.
Little Demon · Ghost Lantern:
Summoning limit: 100/100
Summoning requires 500 Spirit Essence.
Note: Even in the darkest night, light shines forth; the flickering fire summons yin and overcomes yang. It's like a farmer hastily harvesting wheat, slicing away and taking lives with a swift stroke.
As one of the few beings in the Spider Cave ecosystem that does not require the summoning of cocoons, the existence of the Ghost Lanterns is naturally very special. They do not usually show their faces outside, but instead serve as the night watchmen of the Spider Cave.
Although the insect demons have night vision, they don't like patrolling at night, mainly because they are too sensitive to light at night and like moths to a flame.
Therefore, the task of patrolling at night fell to the ghost holding the lantern.
Of course, there is no distinction between day and night in the cave, and there is no such thing as patrolling at night, so they took on the job of guarding someone's house.
Of course, since the Ghost Lantern wasn't an insect, it didn't have a very good relationship with the insect demons. When it saw a group of insects surrounding it, it subconsciously frowned.
"We're here to deliver something."
"what?"
The insect demons didn't want to waste any more words and directly brought out the elves behind them, as if displaying merchandise, which immediately made the elves feel ashamed and indignant.
"This is...a human?"
“Look at the ears.”
Only after the insect demons pointed it out did the Ghost Lantern realize that these creatures, which looked like humans, actually had long ears.
Long ears! Isn't this the elf that the king and the young lady are looking for?
Upon discovering the elves' identities, the Ghost Lantern dared not delay and quickly pushed open the door, allowing the insect demons to carry the elves inside...
