"Sssss..."
Sparse sounds arose all around, echoing through the dense forest, making it all seem rather eerie.
Zhang Xiaoman only then realized how quiet the surroundings were, quiet as if it were a realm of the dead.
"Hiss!!"
A piercing shriek arose, and suddenly, a figure burst forth, lunging directly at him.
Zhang Xiaoman's Spirit Detection Technique had already seen everything; he didn't even move, as a Star Guard beside him swung a sword, instantly cleaving the figure into two halves.
"Squeak squeak squeak~"
The figure made several pitiful noises, writhed on the ground for a few seconds, and then gradually stopped moving.
Only then did he see clearly that what had attacked him was a small flying insect.
And not far from where he was, there were dozens of black flying insect eggs.
At that moment, the insect eggs quivered, and several more insects struggled to crawl out of them.
