World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Chapter 1678 - 5: Exterminating the Insect Swarm

Poison King Guard, Zhang Xiaoman had heard of them during his time with the Dark Star Alliance, but he only knew their attributes and had never actually seen them.

This Desert Worm belongs to high-level Insect Race units, with common strength above the Upper Enlightenment Level, varying according to individual differences, typically averaging at Lower Control Level.

Due to their scarcity, there aren’t many records about Poison King Guard, and they usually appear alongside powerful Insect Kings, possessing terrifying poison that is hard to guard against. Those who have seen it rarely survive, making it difficult to find more information even on the Dark Web.

"I’ve seen it in the internal database of Shadow Sentinels. These Poison King Guards are powerful, and their toxins are difficult to resist. Like the Blinding Light Poison we encountered just now, it’s not a toxin caused by external forces, but one that triggers and transforms the Dark Spiritual Power within others’ bodies through special changes, causing a chaotic riot."

Ziwei began explaining the intelligence she knew.

"So, the aggressiveness of these toxins varies from person to person. The stronger one’s intrinsic power, the greater the harm they suffer. It’s my first encounter with such a thing, no wonder they say it’s formidable. This toxin is indeed the most potent venom I’ve ever seen..."

Zhang Xiaoman rarely saw her with such a serious expression. After listening to her explanation, he gained a fuller understanding of these insects.

The toxin that can directly trigger a riot of the Dark Energy within the victim seems somewhat akin to the Karmic Fire calamities in novels. It doesn’t attack using external substances, but harnesses your own strength to harm yourself, no wonder it can perform superior-level kills.

"Ji Xing, leave this guy to me!"

Ziwei stared at the direction from which the multicolored light had come, gritting her teeth in anger.

Now the external holographic projection of the spaceship was turned off, but the light used by the Poison King Guard could still be transmitted to some extent through Dark Spiritual Power, so the current situation was far from safe.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the battle-ready purple-haired woman and asked:

"Ziwei, are you sure you can handle it? This guy’s toxin is so strong; don’t charge out alone and get caught."

Ziwei took off a necklace from her neck and then retrieved another one from her Space Ring, putting it on her neck and said:

"I have a Dark Spiritual Artifact specifically for anti-poison, and according to the records from Shadow Sentinels, the five-colored light of this Poison King Guard can’t be triggered continuously, it should be fine!"

"It should be fine..."

Zhang Xiaoman’s mouth twitched, secretly noting that this woman is still as bold as ever.

"Alright, if that’s the case, then you should quickly finish it off and be careful of other bugs; I can sense that we are already surrounded by those fellows."

He said, still a bit uneasy, and to be safe, he utilized the remaining Dark Spiritual Power to activate the Star Pattern Talent, adding a potent anti-poison attribute to her.

The next second, Ziwei’s figure disappeared from the room, and when she reappeared, she was already in outer space outside the spaceship.

Zhang Xiaoman activated the holographic projection, unafraid of the Poison King Guard’s toxin. If Ziwei can’t handle the situation, he’s ready to provide backup at any time.

Outside the spaceship, Ziwei had already donned a purple battle armor. As her Dark Spiritual Power was activated, the armor shimmered with a galaxy of flowing light, resembling countless stars shining within.

This was equipment she had recently crafted with Ore on Water Blue Star, the Starlight Armor; Zhang Xiaoman had a set too, with the main material being Divine Casting Rock, boasting remarkable defensive power.

With a wave of her hand, a gust of Dark Spiritual Power blew away all the surrounding fog, revealing the true scene of the current battlefield.

All around them, the insect swarm had already encircled them, with dozens of enormous Dominis Star Worms hovering in the vicinity, the space densely packed with bugs, obstructing any view of the end.

Directly in front, a bizarre insect over two hundred meters in length was protected by groups of Desert Worms behind. Its carapace differed from ordinary Desert Worms, no longer a monotonous black, but a vivid multicolored hue, with its massive body curled up, its two arms aimed like stingers towards the group.

This was the Poison King Guard that had just ambushed them. Upon seeing Ziwei emerge, its arm stingers suddenly shot forth at great speed towards Ziwei.

Ziwei took out her weapon from the Space Ring, the Starlight Battle Blade crafted alongside the Starlight Armor, striking to shatter the incoming stingers.

Instantly, a green poisonous mist spread in the space, but the light emitted by Ziwei’s Starlight Armor blocked it outside.

Simultaneously, within the insect swarm, dazzling light orbs began forming, originating from the plasma bugs, targeting Ziwei and Zhang Xiaoman’s warship.

"Hm! I’ll deal with you first!"

Ziwei glanced at the Poison King Guard hiding within the swarm, her expression turning particularly stern.

Her war blade flipped, activating the Wind Tamer attribute Dark Spirit Circuit within, enshrouding her body with a faint blue glow.
