Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Chapter 169

The Sea King took the storage bags with trembling hands, his eyes filled with gratitude. His voice trembled with excitement, "Thank you, Orcs, for your generous assistance! This deep friendship will be forever remembered by our Sea Clan."

Hai Yan took the storage bag handed to him by the Sea Emperor, his face also filled with gratitude. He bowed deeply to Long Yan and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Your Highness, the Dragon Crown Prince, for your help to our sea people."

Long Yan smiled and waved his hand, politely responding, "You're welcome, Your Majesty. We also hope the sea people can survive this crisis." He changed his tone and asked, "I wonder if General Hai could take us to see the creatures that are attacking the sea people?"

"Report... Urgent..." The voice came closer and closer. A guard came running towards them, his face panicked and his steps stumbling, shouting all the way.

Hearing the urgent shouts, Hai Lanyue and Hai Yan, who were originally sitting in the house, stood up instantly. Their faces became solemn and anxious, and they hurried towards the door.

Hai Yan was the first to step out of the door. He stood tall and straight, yet exuded a stern aura. His brows were furrowed, his gaze was sharp, and he demanded in an icy voice, "What on earth has happened? Why are you so panicked?"

The guard ran up, breathlessly, and knelt on one knee, clasping his hands together. He quickly replied, "General, this is bad! The insect swarm outside the barrier has suddenly erupted for some unknown reason. They're like crazy, attacking our defenses like crazy."

Before he could finish his words, another loud shout rang out, "Report... Urgent report..." Then, another guard came running over like lightning, also shouting loudly.

Haiyan's brows knitted together, forming a deep frown. He asked again impatiently, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"

The guard's face was filled with fear as he stammered, "General, those guards bitten by insects, for some reason, have all lost their souls and are desperately running towards the barrier."

After hearing this, Hai Lanyue wanted to go check on the situation. Hai Yan reached out and held him, and said with concern in his eyes: "Lanyue, you just woke up, your body hasn't recovered yet..." He didn't want Hai Lanyue to go over.

Hai Lanyue was stunned for a moment. He understood his own situation and said, "You go."

Behind them, Long Yan and Lin Ziyu were communicating with each other. Long Yan said, "Ziyu, where is Zi Yan going?"

Lin Ziyu: "Zi Yan is out, ah! Brother Yan, you suspect that Zi Yan is the cause of the insect riot."

Long Yan: "Yes."

Long Yan pulled Lin Ziyu forward and said, "General Hai, can we go with you to check the situation?"

Hai Yan nodded slightly and said, "Prince Long, Pharmacist Lin, please come in."

The three of them, along with a team of guards, rushed to the barrier, only to see a swarm of insects, a black mass, crashing into the barrier with a terrifying sound. The bitten guards were still mechanically running towards the swarm, some of them had already escaped the barrier, while others were stopped by other guards.

Hai Yan's face was solemn. This situation was too bizarre. He had never seen an insect swarm so frenzied before. He turned and ordered, "Your team, protect Crown Prince Long, Pharmacist Lin, and the others." He then said to Long Yan and Lin Ziyu, "Prince Long, Pharmacist Lin, I'm going to look elsewhere. You two wait here for a while." Long Yan nodded and said softly, "General Hai, go help. We'll wait for you back."

Hai Yan took some people to check other places.

Long Yan's eyes were fixed on the dense and creepy swarm of insects in front of him, and he slowly said, "Zi Yu, look over there! These insects seem to be stimulated by some mysterious power or fatal temptation, and they are desperately gathering in one direction like crazy." Long Yan pointed to the area where the insects were most densely populated, and motioned Lin Ziyu to look in that direction quickly.

Lin Ziyu looked in the direction Long Yan pointed and saw a vast sea of insects. Countless insects of varying sizes swarmed and clambered together, forming a black tide. Within this surging tide of insects, purple vines could be vaguely seen tumbling.

Lin Ziyu was startled, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Is the insect uprising related to Zi Yan?" He remembered what Zi Yan had said: the insects were very similar to his companion insect, the Soul-Sucking Demon Bug, and they were also his snacks. When there were no other creatures to absorb energy, he would consume them. Lin Ziyu was stunned and stood there in a daze.

Seeing that Lin Ziyu didn't respond for a long time, Long Yan quickly turned his head, looked at Lin Ziyu and called softly: "Ziyu... Ziyu..." However, at this time Lin Ziyu was completely immersed in his own thoughts and ignored Long Yan's call.

It wasn't until Long Yan called out several times that Lin Ziyu came back to his senses. He raised his head, looked at Long Yan, who was looking concerned, and whispered, "Brother Yan."

Long Yan frowned and asked, "Zi Yu, what are you thinking about? I called you so many times and you didn't answer me?"

Lin Ziyu took a deep breath, collected himself, and then slowly said, "Brother Yan, I was just wondering if the insect uprising was related to Zi Yan? Look carefully, can you vaguely see purple vines among the insect swarm?"

Long Yan thought for a moment and reminded: "Zi Yu, you can try to contact him and see if he is here."

At this time, Zi Yan, who was not far away, sensed Lin Ziyu's breath, and appeared beside him. He took one of Lin Ziyu's hands and said happily: "Little brother, you are here. I was just about to go back to find you." His tone was a bit childish and coquettish.

Long Yan looked at him with a slightly cold look in his eyes. Zi Yan stared back at him, unwilling to be outdone. He hugged Lin Ziyu with both hands and said, "Brother, he's so fierce. Let's ignore him. I'll take you away from here."

Long Yan angrily pulled Zi Yan off Lin Ziyu and threw her aside. He hugged Lin Ziyu, looked at Zi Yan coldly, and said, "Zi Yu is mine."

Lin Ziyu thought helplessly: two childish guys. He said softly, "Brother Yan, don't bother with children." Because he found that Zi Yan's current state was like a child.

Long Yan snorted and let him go. Lin Ziyu calmed Zi Yan down and asked, "Zi Yan, do you know what's going on with the insect swarm riot?"

"Oh, I just placed a vine in four directions." Zi Yan said like a child who had done something wrong.

Elsewhere, Hai Yan, with a solemn expression, led his men in a tour around the Sea Clan's defensive barrier. After a careful inspection, he confirmed that the barrier was still intact, without a single damage.

Haiyan frowned slightly, turned around and looked at the swarm of insects outside the barrier in confusion, wondering why they were like this.

At this moment, a guard with an anxious face hurried over to report: "General, the pharmacist has an important invitation. Please go there as soon as possible."

Hai Yan nodded slightly to show that he understood, then turned around and walked towards the pharmacist with steady and powerful steps.

Soon, Haiyan arrived before the pharmacist. Upon seeing him, the pharmacist quickly stepped forward, his face filled with solemnity. He lowered his voice and said, "General, the current situation is truly grim. Those guards who were unfortunately attacked and seriously injured by the insects are all dead. Furthermore, a large number of insects are crawling out of their bodies, acting like mad, desperately trying to crawl out." As he spoke, the pharmacist pointed to the ground, where the winding trails left by the insects were clearly visible.

Hearing this, Hai Yanxin was shocked and his face changed drastically. He hurriedly asked, "So, what's the current condition of the other lightly injured guards?"

The pharmacist replied with a heavy face, "General, their condition is very bad."

Following the pharmacist's instructions, they saw the injured guards lying on the ground in agony, their bodies twisting violently. Something could be clearly seen wriggling on their exposed skin.

Puff... puff... several sounds echoed, and the guards cried out in agony. Grayish-white, slightly reddish insects swarmed out of their wounds like a staggering tide. Their sheer number was staggering, and in a blink of an eye, they covered the entire ground in a dense mass. However, surprisingly, these insects did not attack anyone else nearby, but simply scurried outwards at an unimaginable speed.
