The insects crawling forward heard the sound, as if they had received some kind of summons, and crawled to both sides in unison, leaving a gap in the middle. They looked eagerly, as if they were greeting a creature more powerful than them.

Gu An focused all his attention on the closed door. He remembered what 520 said and tentatively called out: "Ming Ye?"

When there was no response, the man who was knocked to the ground by Gu An laughed sarcastically: "Hurry up and open the door, or you will be eaten by those nasty bugs together with us."

Gu An glanced at the man, held the small bottle in his pocket, and turned to ask the others: "Where is this place?"

After seeing Gu An's strength, the people who had just laughed at Gu An blushed and lowered their heads, fearing that they would end up like men.

A woman whispered: "We entered the secret room on the rooftop. You just opened the door and we came in. Then the door was closed after we entered, and we encountered those bugs..."

Gu An took a look at the bugs. They were arranged neatly and so densely that it made people's scalp numb.

The man was helped up and kept cursing, but Gu An didn't even look at him.

What he has to do now is to leave here.

Gu An twisted his arm and felt the same way. But he didn't know these people at all. Judging from their behavior, they knew each other, which was very strange.

After a few minutes, Gu An still couldn't find a way to open the door, but the "click" sound became louder and louder, slowly approaching them.

Following this, there was a sound of wings vibrating.

Gu An held the black knife and looked in front of the insect with sharp eyes.

"Kaka——"

"Buzz-"

Something is getting closer.

Under the dim light, a huge flying insect floating in the air appeared in front of everyone.

The flying insect is green all over, somewhat similar to a fly. It has a pair of black tentacles on its head that are shaking constantly.

When the little bugs saw the flying insects coming, they all made a shrill chirp.

Gu An frowned, and those around him covered their ears, looking like they were about to collapse.

The green flying insect made a hoarse cry.

As if they had received an order, the little bugs on the ground spread out their wings hidden under their backs and floated in the air.

The flying insect made a sound again, like blowing a horn of attack. It took the lead to fly forward, followed by the small insects.

Gu An gripped the small bottle tightly and raised his wrist to greet it.

The flying insects and small insects were so fast that they passed by Gu An's eyes. There were bursts of screams behind him. Gu An's vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him changed.

The door disappeared and he came to a huge nest with a huge white egg in front of him.

Gu An pinched himself again, and the stinging sensation was much stronger than before.

He was certain that everything that happened just now was due to circumstances.

Gu An looked around, judging whether everything around him was an illusion.
