Chapter 733 Surprise and Doubt
Bai Mianmian: "..."
She originally thought Pan Cheng wanted to stop her from attacking the people behind him.
Unexpectedly, he intended to use someone else's weapon... to use the Butterfly Zerg to kill someone.
Pan Cheng felt that it would be best if the others could stay here forever.
After all, to put it nicely, they were competitors, but when given the chance to go all out, those guys never showed them any mercy.
On several occasions, if Xin Xiao hadn't brought reinforcements in time, he and several teammates would have been killed by those people and their backers.
The only concern is that if Bai Mianmian kills those people, the forces behind them will come after their Second Legion.
At that time, it would be a catastrophe for those who remained in the Marai system.
Therefore, the best way to keep those people here forever is to use the help of the Butterfly Zerg.
Even if the deaths of these individuals cannot severely damage the forces behind them, it would be good if they could at least diminish the strength of those forces.
Pan Cheng, who was secretly plotting something, couldn't help but smile at Bai Mianmian after he finished speaking, seeing that she was looking at him without saying anything.
It was as if he wasn't the one who had just uttered those cold and ruthless words.
His bright and honest smile almost blinded Bai Mianmian with his dazzling white teeth.
Silently withdrawing her gaze, Bai Mianmian didn't speak, but she took Pan Cheng's advice to heart and decided to do as he said.
After all, neither blowing those people up with mushrooms nor using mushrooms to control the butterfly insectoids to swarm those people was difficult for her.
Considering his status as a member of Jiang Ci's team, this small matter can be accommodated.
So, with Bai Mianmian's waving fingers, the mushroom spores floating around those people quickly grew into mushrooms on the nearby butterfly insectoids.
Instantly, a colorless and odorless hallucinogenic gas quietly emanated from the mushroom and quickly filled the air.
The people and the butterfly insectoids on the other side were completely unaware of this.
After Bai Mianmian made the hallucinogenic mushrooms grow, she quickly drew a stroke in the air with her slender fingers.
From the swarm of butterfly insects blocking the way ahead, dozens of mushrooms suddenly spread forward and then exploded simultaneously under her control, "Boom—!"
In an instant, the butterfly insectoids were blown away and torn to pieces by the violent blast wave.
The passageway, which could only accommodate a few people walking side by side, stretched forward for quite a distance.
She hasn't forgotten that they are still flying rapidly forward.
Xin Xiao, who was once again prepared to tear a passage through the butterfly insect swarm: "..."
Pan Cheng's expression changed the moment Bai Mianmian looked away without saying anything.
Was my suggestion too difficult, making her angry?
She had only met them by chance, and she had even saved their lives. Should she not have made such a request?
Pan Cheng immediately reflected on his actions.
Just as he was thinking about whether to apologize and explain the reason for his suggestion, an explosion suddenly rang out.
For a moment, Pan Cheng thought Bai Mianmian had really blown up the people behind her.
However, when he turned around suddenly, he saw that there was no scene behind him as expected, and that a section of the road had been cleared from the swarm of butterfly insects blocking the way ahead.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he felt more disappointed or relieved.
Pan Cheng wasn't the only one disappointed. Han Feitong and the others who were close to Bai Mianmian overheard their conversation. They all agreed with Pan Cheng's idea, but didn't object to Bai Mianmian's.
So when they heard that familiar explosion, they were disappointed to see that the others had not been hit by Bai Mianmian's explosion.
However, they quickly adjusted their mindset.
The woman not only saved them at the research institute, but is now willing to protect them as they pass through the Butterfly Insectoids. This is already a great favor, and they cannot take advantage of her.
The brightly colored patterns on the butterfly insectoids' bodies allowed the mushrooms growing on them to be perfectly concealed.
Therefore, not only did Pan Cheng and the others not see the mushrooms, but even the few people at the very back of the group, at such close range, did not notice that many of the butterfly insectoids had mushrooms growing on them.
Those few people felt that the number of butterfly insectoids surrounding them was increasing, so they were even more determined to move forward as quickly as possible, hoping to join the group ahead.
So they continued to move forward little by little, testing the limits of Bai Mianmian and the others ahead time and time again.
Just as they took another step forward, the butterfly insectoids that had gathered around them suddenly flapped their wings and pounced on them.
This sudden, all-around attack immediately changed the expressions of the group. They couldn't care less about anything else and had to hastily launch a counterattack.
No one noticed that the butterfly insectoids that were originally surging towards Bai Mianmian and the others also changed direction at that moment and attacked them.
Pan Cheng and the others suddenly heard the sounds of fighting behind them and turned around alertly, only to see the scene they all wanted to see.
Countless butterfly-like insectoids were currently relentlessly attacking the few people following behind them.
Pan Cheng and the others immediately understood that Bai Mianmian had attacked those people, and the way she attacked clearly followed Pan Cheng's advice.
While everyone was pleasantly surprised, they couldn't help but wonder: why would she listen to Pan Cheng's advice?
One suspicious gaze after another was immediately cast toward Bai Mianmian.
But when Bai Mianmian looked back at them, their gazes abruptly recoiled as if struck by lightning.
Bai Mianmian: "...?"
What are they doing?
However, while she was puzzled, she still raised her hand and made the mushrooms grow around everyone, then detonated the newly grown mushrooms.
"Boom—!" A wave of butterfly insectoids that had been gathering towards Bai Mianmian and the others was suddenly blasted away.
The safety zone for everyone was once again well maintained.
Pan Cheng and the others instantly perked up, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily, almost forgetting that they were not in a safe place.
"Ah—!" Just then, a scream suddenly rang out.
Pan Cheng and the others immediately turned their wary gazes toward the direction from which the sound came.
"Ah—!" At that moment, another scream rang out.
One person was suddenly knocked away by an A-level butterfly insectoid creature beside him, and then had his heart pierced by the mouthparts of another butterfly insectoid creature, his scream abruptly cut off.
The next second, countless butterfly-like insectoids swarmed towards the corpse.
In the blink of an eye, the colorful swarm of butterfly insects completely surrounded the corpse.
Once the butterfly insect swarm dispersed, the corpse that had been surrounded in the center was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a skeletal, completely drained skeleton falling to the ground.
Pan Cheng and his group, who were moving quickly forward, showed no surprise or pity upon seeing this, and did not respond to the people's cries for help.
As everyone moved away, the passage that Bai Mianmian had blasted open with mushroom explosions was once again occupied by the Butterfly Insect Clan.
Meanwhile, the group that had been besieged by the butterfly insectoids had completely disappeared from sight.
