Chapter 160:

Under biological instinct, they all chose to retreat.

However, after the Zerg retreated, Liang Yu did not immediately turn off the flames spewing from the mechanical tentacles.

Then, he continuously sprayed the Zerg above in the sky.

He constantly waved his two mechanical tentacles, forcing back the Etch Insects that still wanted to approach.

Just like that, both sides were in a stalemate for nearly ten minutes under these circumstances.

Ultimately, the Etch Insect swarm was the first to withdraw from the battlefield.

As for where they went, Liang Yu was unsure.

After they left, Liang Yu also retracted his two mechanical tentacles.

He checked the time and saw that it was quite late.

So, Liang Yu did not continue his journey, planning to sleep for a night at this location.

He intended to clean off the Etch Insects fragments and liquid clinging to the car after dawn tomorrow morning.

Although it would be frozen solid after a night, Liang Yu wasn’t concerned about such an issue.

Having hot water made him willful.

If it froze, he could just wash it off with a large amount of hot water.

Anyway, as long as it was rinsed clean, there would definitely be a layer of ice on the outside of the car.

Compared to the Etch Insects fragments and liquid, the frozen ice shell was easier to deal with.

Liang Yu glanced at Lan Ling beside him and told her to go wash up first.

Then, he whispered into Lan Ling’s ear.

“Good girl, hurry and go clean yourself up.”

“Warm the bed for me. I’m going to punish you well for your behavior today.”

Liang Yu was already speaking close to Lan Ling’s ear.

Upon hearing Liang Yu’s mention of ‘punishment,’ Lan Ling instantly recalled those embarrassing scenes.

Without saying anything to Liang Yu, she shoved her handheld console into her pocket and left the driver’s cabin.

After Lan Ling left, Liang Yu opened the roof of the driver’s cabin.

Instantly, the cold air from outside rushed into the driver’s cabin.

A thirty-centimeter tall model suddenly appeared in Liang Yu’s hand.

He then tossed it into the air above the opening in the roof.

After the model was thrown, the roof quickly closed.

However, the model Liang Yu threw did not fall back down and hit the roof.

Instead, it hovered in the air.

Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the model Liang Yu threw was actually a dragon from [Fairy Tail].

The Fire Dragon King—Igneel.

As for why it was a fire dragon and not a dragon of another attribute, the main reason was fire.

To deal with the Zerg, one naturally attacks their weaknesses.

Since he knew they were afraid of fire, he would definitely use flames against them.

The Fire Dragon King, flapping its wings in the air, did not leave; it simply remained hovering above the roof.

Liang Yu in the driver’s cabin restored his VR glasses to their original form.

The next moment, his vision synchronized with the Fire Dragon King’s perspective.

At this moment, Liang Yu thought about extending the Fire Dragon King’s left claw.

In his vision, the Fire Dragon King synchronized with his thoughts.

Just like that, after a short period of adjustment, Liang Yu became familiar with controlling the Fire Dragon King.

Once familiar with controlling the Fire Dragon King, Liang Yu immediately went to search for the whereabouts of the Etch Insect swarm.

However, he didn’t know where the Etch Insect swarm had gone.

At this point, he needed a very ‘reliable’ method to find the Etch Insect swarm.

The Fire Dragon King immediately went to the fragments left by the Etch Insect swarm’s suicidal attack.

He picked up a piece and sniffed it in front of his nose.

Then, he threw the Etch Insects fragment aside and directly flapped his wings, flying into the sky.

He tracked them all the way, relying on the lingering scent in the air.

Soon, Liang Yu noticed something was off.

He felt somewhat familiar with the buildings along the way.

It was as if he had seen them somewhere before.

He didn’t know how long he flew, but Liang Yu arrived near a frozen lake.

The scent of the Etch Insect swarm disappeared here.

There were only two possibilities: first, they collectively used instant transmission, which is why they left no scent.

But Liang Yu quickly dismissed this idea.

They hadn’t used such an ability when they retreated, so how could they possess it now?

The remaining possibility was that these Etch Insects either burrowed into the ground, using soil to cover their scent.

But Liang Yu controlled the Fire Dragon King to circle twice and still found no entrance hole.

Liang Yu considered that it might be night, so he might have missed some areas.

Thus, he very decisively started a fire nearby.

Under his control, the Fire Dragon King was charging up.

The dazzling red light in its throat indicated the completion of the charge.

A flame breath swept across this frozen vegetation.

Under the high-temperature flames, the frost on these plants began to melt.

Gradually, moisture continuously evaporated, and soon they reached a combustible state.

Seeing this entire patch of vegetation ignited, the bright flames dispelled the surrounding darkness.

But even so, Liang Yu still did not find the entrance where the Etch Insect swarm went underground.

Feeling somewhat unwilling, he went to the other side and used the same method to ignite the frozen vegetation.

The result made him somewhat disbelieving.

He even doubted if his direction was wrong.

Perhaps this was where they had left from.

They left from here and then encountered him on the road.

He, on the other hand, had found their old nest.

It was just that they were currently out foraging and had not yet returned.

The more Liang Yu thought about it, the more he felt this possibility was greater.

He quickly released the VR glasses from their state, restoring them to normal mode.

Then he opened the map and marked his location and the location of the Etch Insect swarm’s nest.

He found it was quite coincidental; he didn’t need to take a special detour.

Their nest was less than forty kilometers to the left of his current path forward.

After recording the coordinates of the Zerg nest, Liang Yu arranged for the Fire Dragon King to return.

He, himself, immediately went to the bathroom to wash up.

Since the current matter was resolved, he had another matter to deal with.

This time, Liang Yu took a very quick shower since it wasn’t a couple’s bath.

He came out of the bathroom in less than fifteen minutes.

However, his hair was still wet, and he hadn’t used a hairdryer to dry it.

He casually grabbed a towel and rubbed his head.

Now, his mind was solely focused on one thing: how to punish Lan Ling, who was waiting in his room.

He impatiently pushed open the door.

He saw a bulge on his bed, clearly indicating someone was sleeping under the covers.

Liang Yu suddenly became dramatic at this moment, thinking of a scene.

He directly pounced over and hugged the bulge on the bed, and without needing words, the position of his hands was clear.

But he quickly discovered something was wrong.

The sensation was very much like his pillow.

The next moment, a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Liang Yu quickly lifted the bedding and found that what he was hugging was indeed a bolster.

At this moment, Lan Ling’s laughter came from the wardrobe.

She pushed open the wardrobe door, still holding a working video camera.

She looked at Liang Yu with a beaming smile.

“Oh, Da Zhu Ti Zi, I didn’t know you had such a fetish.”

Looking at the working video camera in her hand.
