I am a retired rider in Xingtie, and I am loved by players.

The next second, a high-definition CG picture appeared in front of her.

Jia Hun saw a giant tree that had lost all its colors. The spreading faded ginkgo branches were growing wildly in the blood-red universe, covering everything in its shadow. Wherever it went, the swarms of insects were penetrated by the criss-crossing branches.

"Oh my god! Was this done by Ilu?"

Seeing this extremely shocking scene that seemed like an envoy's attack, Jia Hun's eyes widened immediately, and the audience who witnessed this scene in the live broadcast room also posted barrages:

[Oh my god, this is too cruel, isn't it?! ]

[If nothing else, the expressiveness is full]

[Is this really the power of abundance? Why does it feel like it doesn’t seem like it? ]

[Giant Stinging Insect: You may not believe this, but grass has grown in my stomach]

[Stop talking, hurry up and enter the card pool, the second form is about to be released, and the first form is not yet released. I have been saving since the server opened. ]

"Alas, Ilu doesn't seem to be in version 1.6. It won't be released until 2.0, right?"

After taking a look at the discussion in the barrage, Jiahun couldn't help but sigh. In order to draw 6+5 for Yilu, she deliberately saved up nearly 500 draws of resources. If it was not enough, she would make up for it by spending money.

But the problem is that the character of Ilu has never entered the card pool, which has kept her in suspense, and this makes her very uncomfortable!

[I heard from my uncles that there seems to be a 2.0 additional small version before 1.7, which will last for a total of 21 days. Ilu will be implemented at that time, and there will also be a one-time large map, but it will be gone after the main story is completed.]

[A one-time map, so arrogant? ]

[Wow, it’s released during the Chinese New Year. Now I can rest assured to buy the next version of Ruan Mei.]

[Since it is a Spring Festival version, the plot of 1.7 must be very festive. I am really looking forward to it.]

"I really hope I can jump directly from 1.5 to 1.7. I can't wait any longer..."

While interacting with the barrage in the live broadcast room, Jia Hun advanced the main storyline. As the train was vomited out into the outside universe by a giant stinging insect with grass growing in its stomach, she also entered a cutscene.

Looking out the window from March 7's first-person perspective, the sight is full of termites, with dense black dots surrounding thousands of giant stinging insects that look like mobile insect nests.

They were none other than true stinging insects that had grown to their full form, moving in an orderly manner in a certain direction as if they were marching. Compared to their huge size, even the Starry Sky Train where she was located seemed insignificant.

"Oh my God!"

This scene brought great shock to Jiahun. Not only her, but all the players who saw the insect march cutscene showed the same expression.

As if he was personally there, Jia Hun's heart began to beat violently. No one could have expected that after leaving the body of the giant stinging insect, he would see such a shocking scene.

"No, I am not seeing things, there are so many bugs, version 1.7... are we going to fight these things?"

【Are you surprised or surprised? 】

[Fuck, the Overlord won the resurrection match! ]

[Are there a lot? This is just the tip of the iceberg of the locust plague. If the Star God of Breeding were still around, the number of these bugs would increase countless times. You can never kill them all even if they stand there and ask you to.]

……

No one has ever seen what the locust plague would look like at its peak. After all, the "breeding" Taizyuros had already fallen long ago. But judging from the dense swarm of insects that seemed to have no end, he was definitely the nightmare of the entire universe at that time.

"We must report the matter of the Zerg to all parties as soon as possible."

Walter said seriously: "Don't alarm them before that, let's leave here quietly."

Fighting the insects in their lair was obviously not a wise choice, and his proposal was immediately unanimously approved by everyone.

But the problem is that the preparations before the train jump take a certain amount of time, and the pheromones covering the surface of the train body will quickly disappear.

Once these bugs discover the location of the train, they will be in danger.

"Don't worry, everyone. Leave this task to me and the Rare and Precious Ship."

Just as everyone was discussing how to lure away the nearby insect swarm, Yinzhi, who had been patiently listening to their discussion, took the initiative to step forward.

He proposed a bait tactic of using the "Rarely Seemingly" as bait to attract the attention of the Zerg army, thereby buying time for the train to jump.

"But if you do that, you'll be in danger."

Yilu said: "I think I can do it. Those fireflies know me. As long as I go out and say hello to them, they will definitely keep chasing me..."

"No, Miss Ilu."

As if to express some kind of belief, Yinzhi clenched his right fist and placed it in front of his chest. He looked out the window at the swarm of insects that blended black and red, and slowly spoke:

"When I saw these ugly termites, I had a strong feeling in my heart. As a pure knight, it is my duty to defend "purity". This is a battle I must face."

“It’s hard for me to describe where this feeling comes from, but when I see certain things, I feel a sense of beauty deep down in my heart. It’s vague and can only be felt instinctively.”

"Perhaps I have traveled alone in the galaxy for too long, so I find it hard to understand where this feeling comes from, but I know that as a knight, my duty is to protect the seed of beauty, stand in front of it, and resist everything..."

After saying that, Yinzhi's eyes swept across everyone in the train group, paused on Xing's face, and finally stopped at the silver-haired girl's eyes that were as beautiful as fireflies:

"I can't bear to see her lose that 'pure beauty', lose her own 'Idrila', so I am willing to protect the seeds of 'beauty' again and again, so that they can bloom into pure and crystal flowers, to prove my piety to Him. This is my oath as a pure and beautiful knight."

"Is this so..."

Hearing Yinzhi say this, Yilu couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. She secretly glanced at the gray-haired girl beside her.

She could see some reluctance on Xing's face.

Obviously, she didn't want to take any risks from the bottom of her heart.

"I promise that I am not a reckless person. After luring the insect swarm away, I will be fully prepared and find the right time to escape."

Seeing that the silver-haired girl in front of him was persuaded by him, Yinzhi once again promised her:

"I came to the train to help everyone solve the crisis. This mission is not yet completed. I think we will meet again before returning to the galaxy."

"Well, I wish you good luck in martial arts... This is a talisman, just keep it as a souvenir."

Hearing him say this, Yilu naturally would not refuse again. She gladly accepted Yinzhi's proposal and used the power of abundance to pinch out a faded ginkgo wood plaque to express her respect for this pure and beautiful knight.

"Don't worry. After ensuring your safe departure, I will be ready for our next meeting."

Standing in front of the open car door, Yinzhi waved his spear, his bright red cloak fluttered in the wind, and a brilliant light suddenly lit up with him as the center.

"Before I leave, please allow me to say one more thing - the pure goddess Idrila is unparalleled in beauty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yinzhi jumped off the train and drove the Rarely to attract the attention of the swarm of insects. He successfully transferred the nearby termites to other places, buying enough time for the train's jump.

When the smell of pheromones dissipated and the nearby insect swarms discovered that the long "fellow" next to them was actually a vehicle carrying humans, it was too late to launch an attack.

With the activation of the jump device, the train quickly broke away from the encirclement of the Zerg and jumped to the vicinity of the Black Tower Space Station.

"Phew, thanks to Yinzhi's help in sharing the pressure, we are finally safe!"

Seeing the familiar azure star not far away and the black tower space station floating above it, San Yue Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope we won't run into bugs here again..."

While the two systems of the train were preparing to jump, she was afraid that the pheromones covering the hull of the train would dissipate and be discovered by the nearby insect swarms, which would make things much more serious.

"Alas, I wonder what happened to the passengers on the Silver Branch, Pa. Although the train has escaped this crisis, I don't know why I can't be happy, Pa."

Pam said with a lost look.

Although the time they spent together was very brief, only an hour or two, the upright, honest and pure knight left a deep impression on everyone.

Thanks to Yinzhi, everyone now knows that there is a star god called "Pure Beauty" Idrila in this world, and they also know that her beauty is unparalleled.

"Ah...Mr. Willett just got off the car and left. He looked so sad. Maybe he didn't know what Yinzhi was thinking either."

San Yue Qi sighed: "I hope he can find Idrila..."

"The Pure Knights, a group of people who are used to traveling alone in the galaxy and are difficult to understand. His choice was entirely out of piety."

Ji Zi shook her head and said with some regret: "But the "pure and beautiful" star god may have fallen. This is something that many pure and beautiful knights tacitly accept. The one just now may just not want to believe it... He probably thinks that Idrila is just missing and hiding in a corner that mortals can't reach."

As the train arrived at the support section of the Black Tower Space Station, the crisis came to a temporary end.

Since this visit to the space station was also about simulating the universe, only Yilu and Xing got off the car.

"Xing... uh, who is this?"

As early as yesterday, she learned that the Starry Sky Train was about to return, so Ester was waiting on the platform early. When she saw the silver-haired girl walking in front of Xing, she couldn't help but be stunned.

I always have some impression of this girl in my mind... No, not just some impression, but a very deep impression!

This kind of thing seemed to have happened once before, and she still remembered how embarrassed she was at the time. She said she would never forget it again, but she forgot about it in the blink of an eye.

"Hello, Station Master Ester, I am——"

Ilu was very familiar with this situation. She took the initiative to wave to Ester. Just as she was about to introduce herself, the other party suddenly interrupted her.

"Wait a minute, I think I remember..."

Signaling to Ilu not to reveal the answer in advance, Ester reached out and grabbed her hair, looking like she was thinking hard.

Finally, she picked up the memo she had written earlier and took a look at it. She finally remembered the name of the silver-haired girl in front of her:

"Miss Ilu, right?"

Estelle smiled and said, "Welcome to the Black Tower Space Station. Ms. Black Tower is waiting for you in the office~"

Yilu: “…”

It can be seen that in order to avoid repeating the same mistake, Estelle probably recited her own name many times behind her back.

This time she finally understood why the "memory" she had used up before was replenished so quickly. If everyone prepared a memo like Esta and repeated her name every day, her fear of insufficient "memory" might be cured.

……

"Hi, you guys are here~"

As soon as Yilu and Xing walked into Heita's office, they saw Heita standing next to a huge device emitting blue light. He was waving at them, and his tone was full of excitement and curiosity:

"I heard from Ji Zi that you encountered a swarm of tens of millions of insects shortly after you left the Luofu Immortal Boat. Is that true?"

"Ah."

Hearing this, Xing nodded slightly. She sent the photos she had taken with her mobile phone to Heita and told him what had happened to the giant stinging insect not long ago:

"We were attacked by a giant stinging insect on our way back. It sent us deep into the abnormal star field. With the help of a pure and beautiful knight, we were able to escape from there safely."

"Tsk, it looks like the situation is not good."

Looking at the densely packed real stinging insects in the photo, Heita's brows furrowed even more, and he said solemnly: "It is really rare to see this number of bark beetles gathered together. Maybe there is a big guy behind this..."

Chapter 92: Thousand Stars: When the Stars Go Out (6k)

The Zerg is a terrifying race that was born during the locust plague with the birth of the star god Taizyuros of "breeding". It is a self-replicating race of Taizyuros.

They invade everything they see in the universe and have extremely terrifying reproductive abilities.

Since the power of the Star God is closely related to his concept of destiny, Taizyuros can modify all normal production behaviors, including mechanical production and cell division, into the birth of insects, causing the insect swarm to sweep across two-thirds of the universe in just a few Amber Ages, triggering an insect plague that shocked the world.

"Seeing these bugs, I can already imagine what a locust plague would look like. It would probably be a hundred times more terrifying than this."

While telling Heita about the cause and events of the train's encounter with the swarm of insects, Xing recalled the tens of millions of black insects in her mind. Realizing her own insignificance and powerlessness, she couldn't help but sigh.

Although she had only heard about the horror of the universal locust plague from the think tank and Ilu's description, a glimpse of the whole thing gave her a glimpse of the whole situation. After witnessing with her own eyes the army of termites wandering in the abnormal star field, she had a new understanding of the horror of the universal locust plague.

"It's more than a hundred times, it's still far from it."

Heita shook his head and said jokingly: "Compared with the locust plague at its peak, the bugs you encountered are just a grain of sand on the beach."

“Luckily I wasn’t born at that time.”

Xing said with some relief.

"If you were born during a locust plague, you would most likely turn into a bug."

The silver-haired girl at the side complained expressionlessly: "The birth rate in that era was basically contributed by bugs."

"That's why I didn't want to be born at that time!"

Xingqi puffed up his lips.

"Even so, don't underestimate this insect plague."

Listening to the two people bickering... or flirting, Heita glanced at Yilu beside him, then looked into Xing's eyes and said in a serious tone:

"It is impossible for ordinary true stinging insects to gather such a large number of silverfish. Only the king insect that controls the fate of "breeding" has the ability to re-dispatch and command the chaotic insect swarm."
