Chapter 233: A Moment of Life and Death

A gentle sound of footsteps came slowly, from far away to near, gradually approaching Shen Zheng.

There was a strong enemy above, in order not to expose his position, Shen Zheng did not use supersensory power, he just used the method of infusing his eyes with insect power to improve his vision to a very high level.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a bug covered with a fiery red shell slowly appeared from a corner and turned his head to look at Shen Zheng.

The body shape of this bug was very similar to that of carnivorous mammals, and it looked more like a wolf. It had a thick, spiked tail, sharp claws, and a head with two pairs of sharp fangs exposed like knives, and a pair of eyes emitting red and yellow flame-like light.

This bug was two meters long, not counting the tail, and was not big among bugs, but it gave Shen Zheng a very dangerous feeling. [

The eyes of the man and the bug met in the air and stared at each other for a long time.

The insect slowly bent its body, staring at Shen Zheng while seeming to gather strength. Suddenly, the power of flames surged from its body like a wave, flowing on the red armor all over its body, and suddenly illuminated the surrounding space.

The sudden appearance of light made Shen Zheng feel a little dazzled, and he squinted his eyes subconsciously.

Just at this moment, the insect suddenly leaped up and pounced on Shen Zheng in mid-air.

What a smart guy!

Shen Zheng secretly praised, and a red light flashed in his hand, turning into a long war spear, and pointed the spear tip at the insect and stabbed it straight. Several flames clung to the spear body like snakes, quickly converging on the spear head and turning into a flame spear tip.

The insect was extremely flexible. Although it was in the air, it could change its moves temporarily. Seeing the war spear stabbing, it dodged the vital point with a tilt of its head, and then twisted its body, and actually drew an arc in the air like a swimming fish to bypass the war spear, and opened its mouth to bite Shen Zheng.

Shen Zheng was shocked. He really didn't expect that the insect was so strong. In a hurry, he didn't care about much and quickly stretched out his left arm to resist.

The insect bit Shen Zheng's left arm, but its sharp teeth were blocked by the energy armor and the shield formed by the curved light beams on the arm.

It didn't let go. After falling to the ground, it bit Shen Zheng's left arm and retreated with all its strength. Its head swayed left and right, tearing Shen Zheng's arm, trying to tear the arm off directly.

Shen Zheng used all his strength to fight against it. The insect's power turned into water power and concentrated on his left arm, constantly hitting the insect's mouth, making the insect whine. Finally, it opened its mouth and let go of Shen Zheng's arm, howling and retreating a few steps. | Sanba Literature

Shen Zheng shook his left arm and felt a pain in his arm. He raised his arm and saw two holes on his sleeve. It was the exposed fangs of the insect that broke through the defense of the steel armor and shield, pierced his clothes, and injured his arm.

Although it was only a minor injury, it was enough to show the power of its two pairs of sharp fangs, which was enough to shock people. Shen Zheng secretly blamed himself and shook the war gun at the insect, and became more cautious.

This is a insect with stronger power than me. I can't treat it as a hunting target, but as a powerful opponent.

The insect was obviously also injured by Shen Zheng's water power just now. It kept shaking its head and whimpering. After a while, it roared angrily and stared at Shen Zheng in circles. It obviously knew that the human in front of it was not easy to mess with, and did not dare to attack rashly.

After a stalemate, the insect finally took the first step. The flames on its body suddenly increased by one level, and its thick tail burned violently. It swung its body and swept towards Shen Zheng from a distance.

Several sharp spikes with scorching flames shot straight from the tail, forming a rain of flames, which immediately covered Shen Zheng.

Holding the war spear tightly with both hands and spinning quickly, the war spear brought up a wave of fire and formed a circular fire shield - this defensive method fully demonstrated Shen Zheng's combat genius.

If it were someone else, they might choose the nemesis of fire - water, and use the power of water to fight these fire spikes. [

But the problem is - although fire is afraid of water, those spikes are not. They are not the power of fire turned into spikes, but the real spikes shot out from the tail of the insect. The power of water does not have such a strong defensive power, which can extinguish the flames while blocking these physical spikes.

Immediately, the sound of collisions continued. The flame spikes were knocked out by the rapidly rotating war spears and the flame power on them, and then pierced the rocks in the distance. The weakened flame power was still burning on the spikes, and soon burned a hole in the rock that was pierced.

What a strong fire power!

Shen Zheng secretly praised, and after knocking the last flame spike away, he was about to hit the insect with a long spear.

But the insect attacked before him, and suddenly a stronger fire ignited all over its body. It pounced in front of Shen Zheng and knocked him to the ground. A pair of claws pressed on Shen Zheng's war spear, and its head desperately leaned down to bite Shen Zheng's neck.

Shen Zheng used all his strength to support the long spear and block the insect outward, but he knew that this was not a long-term solution. The insect was very powerful, pressing down from top to bottom, and Shen Zheng had no way to fight it.

In a hurry, Shen Zheng took a risky move and took back the long spear and replaced it with a bloody glove.

Without resistance, the insect smashed towards Shen Zheng, and Shen Zheng took advantage of the moment when the insect suddenly lost resistance and fell in shock, and grabbed the two front paws of the insect with his hands wearing blood gloves, and exerted force from his waist to flip the insect to the ground. He then rode on it, and punched the chest and abdomen of the insect in turn like raindrops.

The insect screamed miserably, and jumped up with great force in pain, throwing Shen Zheng aside.

Shen Zheng rolled on the ground, and just as he was about to stand up, the insect had already rushed over with a wild cry, and hit Shen Zheng hard, knocking him straight out, and even smashed two rocks before falling to the ground.

The severe pain and the threat of death gave Shen Zheng a strong will to survive and win. At this moment, he faintly felt a kind of power surging in his body. The insect power flowing in the meridians was eager to run, and it seemed that it could suddenly undergo a qualitative change at any time.

Is this a sign of the insect's power increasing?

He was overjoyed. Although he was in pain, his eyes showed joy. He stood up suddenly and rushed towards the insect in front of him with all his strength.

The insect also stood up as if stimulated. Its two sharp front claws with flames grabbed Shen Zheng like a cat. Shen Zheng bent his waist and exerted force. His two palms directly met the insect's two claws. The blood gloves surged with flame power that was not inferior to the opponent's, and grabbed the two claws.

The insect had red eyes and roared and opened its mouth to bite Shen Zheng, but Shen Zheng got ahead of it and rushed over with force.

In this collision, the impact of the steel beetle was mixed with the power of thunder and lightning, hitting the insect's chin, causing its body to lean back suddenly. The arcs jumped on its head and face, causing it to suffer extreme pain.

Just as Shen Zheng was about to kick it again, the insect suddenly slammed its head forward and hit Shen Zheng's head, making Shen Zheng dizzy. Knowing that something was wrong, he kicked the insect hard and hit it in the belly, kicking it far away.

The insect rolled on the ground, then immediately jumped up and rushed towards Shen Zheng.

Shen Zheng waved his hands, and two blood wings were already launched, attacking the insect. The insect dodged one of them nimbly, but was hit by the other one.

The surging blood power quickly penetrated into its body, wreaking havoc in its body. The intense pain made it roar loudly, and the raging fire power surged all over its body like an explosion. The blood power that penetrated into its body was actually burned directly in this flame explosion, leaving only a small amount that was not enough to pose a threat to it.

With a blazing fire, the insect pounced directly at Shen Zheng again. Before Shen Zheng had time to change his moves, it threw him to the ground and opened its big mouth with fire. There was a strong flame jumping in its mouth, as if it was about to spray out immediately.

In extreme danger, the feeling of the surging insect power became stronger. At that moment, Shen Zheng concentrated all his strength and opened his mouth, trying to learn the method of the insect and spray out the insect power from his mouth. [

At this moment, a figure flew over and kicked the insect on the side ribs. The insect immediately flew out with a whine and hit the cave wall heavily, knocking a big hole through a solid cave wall and falling into another cave.

After the man kicked the insect away, he immediately picked up Shen Zheng and quickly went to a passage. After a moment, he had left the big hole and came to another winding cave.

"Master, are you okay?"

Hearing the gentle voice, Shen Zheng knew without looking carefully that it was Xue Su who rushed over. He sighed, motioned Xue Su to put him down, and then looked at Xue Su with a worried face, not knowing what to say.

"Master, why do you seem unhappy?" Xue Su stared at Shen Zheng's face and asked curiously.

"I don't know whether I should thank you or blame you." Shen Zheng sighed again.

"Thank me?" Xue Su shook her head, "Your safety is the most important thing. You are the meaning of my existence. I can't lose you, so I'm just saving myself. As for blaming me, that's what I should do. I came too late. But please forgive me. After all, when I started chasing, you had disappeared. It was not easy for me to find here by sensing your breath. I felt that you were in danger, so I rushed here directly at the first time."

"No." Shen Zheng shook his head, "I blame you for coming too early."

"Too early?" Xue Su looked puzzled.

"The dangerous battle just now made my insect power boil up." Shen Zheng smiled bitterly, "Just then, because of the threat of death, my insect power has reached a critical point. If you had come a step later, my insect power should have increased significantly again. Unfortunately, you interrupted it."

"Ah, then didn't I do something bad?" Xue Su looked at Shen Zheng in surprise. That cute expression made Shen Zheng unable to bear to make her feel guilty.

"Forget it, there is still a chance." Shen Zheng said. "Did you see those two enemies when you came?"
