401: Chapter 441 Beast Attack! Millions of Locusts!

Although unexpected, it was within the realm of possibility.

An Ke immediately took out the golden sweater woven by the Golden Silk Spider.

This golden sweater was silky yet warm, and more importantly, it didn't easily generate static electricity.

Putting it on felt like wrapping oneself in a quilt.

Imagine the feeling of diving into a cozy, warm bed without any clothes in the dead of winter.

Even though he had tried it before, An Ke was still deeply moved when he put it on.

Not just An Ke, but all the creatures in the Camp were clad in gold.

While the earth and the Bamboo Forest were covered in white, An Ke and his group were draped in gold, looking like rhythmic golden spirits.

After washing up and eating, An Ke set to work on relocating the Bamboo Village.

Specifically, moving the Bamboo Village to a place with a floor heating system.

For An Ke, who possessed the [Portable Space], relocating the Bamboo Village was very simple.

The floor heating system had been built after rigorous measurement and design, so the Bamboo Village was like building blocks—it just needed to be placed on top.

Once everything was in place, it was time to reinforce the Bamboo Village.

Only then could it withstand the blizzards.

Just as An Ke finished the relocation and was discussing a new hydroelectric power project with Kata...

...a White Goose Contestant came running frantically from the [teleportation channel].

Before An Ke could ask, the contestant blurted out, "Lord An Ke, something terrible has happened."

"O-our Camp was attacked by a swarm of insects."

"Insects?"

An Ke frowned. "Didn't Oufu obtain the [Insect Master] ability?"

"Besides, the temperature has dropped and it's snowing. Logically, Locusts shouldn't be appearing..."

Although the animals in the [National Fortune Game] were special, they hadn't reached the point of completely changing their habits.

For instance, the Blazing Fire Bear, Aman, and the Old Crocodile Couple all needed to hibernate.

"Lord An Ke..." Kata's expression changed slightly.

"Do you think it could be a Beast Attack?"

An Ke's expression darkened. "It's very likely..."

He immediately said to the White Goose Contestant, "If you can't hold them off, come directly to our Bamboo Village through the [teleportation channel]."

"When something this unconventional happens, it's very likely a Beast Attack."

It had happened twice before.

Once with a herd of Water Buffalo, and another time with Aman and the others.

"Okay, okay..."

The White Goose Contestant was somewhat unwilling, reluctant to give up their current Camp.

After this period of development, their Camp had begun to take shape and had stockpiles.

If they abandoned it, they would have to start all over again.

But if they didn't, it would be hard to withstand the attack.

Each of those Locusts was as big as a human, and their numbers were terrifyingly high.

The current White Goose Camp had no means of defense.

The White Goose Contestant gritted his teeth in frustration and prepared to leave quickly to notify the other contestants.

But before he could, Oufu and all the other White Goose Contestants came through the [teleportation channel] to the Bamboo Village, with the Locusts following right behind them.

They had black backs, yellow undersides, and a pair of compound eyes that looked like an alien's.

But the most heart-stopping part was their mouthparts, which seemed capable of tearing any creature apart.

"Oufu, what's going on?"

Seeing Oufu and the other White Goose Contestants, Three Hairs couldn't help but come over to ask.

"Are these bugs brought for this Little Mouse to eat?"

Three Hairs' eyes lit up at the sight of the bugs.

Although Locusts looked disgusting, don't forget that Three Hairs was someone who dared to eat even the Double-Coiled Fluke.

"Cute Mouse, these bugs come with ill intent; all our livestock have been devoured..."

Oufu said quickly.

He was currently wearing a Mechanical Exoskeleton, and his body was covered in the bodily fluids of the Locusts.

"Tell Lord An Ke, it's very likely another Beast Attack..."

Just after he finished speaking, several Locusts lunged at Oufu.

"Seeking death..." Oufu immediately operated the Mechanical Exoskeleton, delivering powerful, charged punches to the Locusts.

With the help of the Mechanical Exoskeleton, Oufu's fists easily smashed through the Locusts' outer shells and into their bodies.

As his fists were withdrawn, bodily fluids flowed out as well.

But no matter how powerful the combat capability of the Mechanical Exoskeleton was, it couldn't withstand the nearly endless army of Locusts.

Furthermore, Oufu was injured, and he was soon swarmed and pinned down by the dense crowd of Locusts.

Just as these Locusts were about to devour Oufu with their sharp mouthparts...

...a hearty laugh rang out.

Oufu instinctively turned his head and saw Old Crocodile and Sister-in-law Crocodile walking over.

The White Goose Contestants were overjoyed. "Lord Old Crocodile, Madam Crocodile, please save us!"

Old Crocodile chuckled. "Old Crocodile doesn't need to lift a finger; I only need to use my mouth."

"You bunch of misfits!!"

The White Goose Contestants, who were desperately resisting the Locusts, were a bit dazed.

Old Crocodile's actions left them scratching their heads.

Wait! So by "using your mouth," you didn't mean biting these Locusts to death, but cursing at them?

What's the use of cursing? You can't curse them to death. Hurry up and attack already!

Oufu and the White Goose Contestants were beyond frustrated.

But just then, everyone suddenly noticed something was wrong.

The Locusts in front of them suddenly stopped their attack. After their bodies trembled slightly, they began to grow frantic.

Some seemed to have suddenly lost their minds, beginning to frantically devour their own bodies as if they utterly loathed their own appearance.

Others, after their bodies shook, actually spat out yellow liquid and fell over dead.

It looked as if they couldn't handle the stimulation, leading to cardiac arrest.

Oufu and the White Goose Contestants looked at the fallen Locusts in disbelief.

"They... they really were cursed to death?"

"T-this is too ridiculous!"

"Could it be that Old Crocodile's mouth is poisonous?"

"Do you remember? Previously, Old Crocodile ate a Hyena..."

"..."

When Old Crocodile heard the White Goose Contestants' words, his face darkened with annoyance.

"Hey! Fellow friends, I, Old Crocodile, just saved you, and you're bringing up my dark past to my face?"

"This is my, Old Crocodile's, unique ultimate skill!"

To the side, Sister-in-law Crocodile giggled. "You old rascal, I feel like you'll be living in the shadow of that Hyena for the rest of your life."

Oufu and the White Goose Contestants suddenly understood.

Old Crocodile, like King Kong and Three Hairs, had obtained an incredible ability.

There was no time for sentiment, as more and more Locusts were coming through the [teleportation channel].

Oufu immediately pushed off the Locusts that had been "cursed to death" by Old Crocodile and, dragging his aching body, prepared to fight again.

Meanwhile...

...the other animals and savages in the Camp reacted and came to provide support one after another.

This included An Ke, Kata, and the White Goose Contestant who had first come to seek help.

Seeing the tens of thousands of Locusts already there, Kata was somewhat at a loss.

An Ke immediately tried to use [Natural Affinity] to control the Locusts.

However, he soon frowned because the attempt to influence them failed.

However, because An Ke was there, everyone could understand what the Locusts were saying.

"Eat! Eat! Eat every plant and animal in sight!"

Above the Moon, inside the Control Room.

At the head, a Noble Tik wearing a magnificent mask spoke slowly:

"I seem to understand what kind of animals An Ke can influence..."

...
