Traveler Zerg World

Chapter 445: City of Gold 7

"This place seems quite unusual," Yan Jun said in a low voice.

Lin Zhi nodded, his eyes scanning the surroundings. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a corner ahead, "Look over there, there seems to be something there."

As the two approached, they discovered a metal box emitting a faint golden light. Just as Lin Zhi reached out to pick it up, several agile insectoid creatures suddenly darted out from the side, baring their fangs and claws at them.

Yan Jun quickly drew his weapon and engaged in combat with the insectoid creatures. "These little bugs are quite troublesome."

Linzhi was not to be outdone, dodging the attacks of the small insects while searching for their weaknesses. After a fierce battle, she finally drove the small insects back.

Lin Zhi picked up the metal box and examined it carefully. "There might be some treasure hidden in this box."

Just then, Zhang Ying came running over, panting. "You're here! I just found some strange markings that seem to point to a deeper place."

The three decided to continue following the markers Zhang Ying had discovered. Along the way, they encountered numerous obstacles from the Zerg, but thanks to their excellent teamwork, they overcame them all.

Upon venturing deeper into the ruins, they arrived at a vast golden hall. In the center of the hall stood a massive golden furnace, surrounded by all sorts of strange and unusual tools.

"Could this be the place where something is being refined?" Lin Zhi wondered.

Yan Jun stepped forward and carefully examined the furnace. "This furnace looks very old, but it seems to still be usable."

Just as they were studying the furnace, the Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai arrived.

"So you guys found this place too?" Wang Jun said.

Wang Kai continued, "We sensed a powerful energy fluctuation nearby, so we came looking for it."

The five began to work around the furnace, figuring out how to start it. After some trial and error, they finally found a way to activate it. The furnace slowly heated up, emitting a dazzling golden light.

"What should we do next?" Zhang Ying asked.

Lin Zhi looked at the tools around him, thought for a moment, and said, "We need to find suitable materials to put into the furnace for refining."

So, everyone began searching for usable materials in the hall. The four Zerg siblings, Li Yi, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li, also joined in. They divided the work and searched carefully in every corner.

Li shouted excitedly, "I found some golden ore, it looks like it should be usable."

The people collected the ore and carefully placed it into the furnace. As the furnace temperature rose, the ore began to melt slowly, emitting an even more intense golden light.

"This light is so dazzling," Li Ming couldn't help but squint.

Lin Zhi stared intently at the furnace and said, "I wonder what we'll get after refining."

Time passed second by second, and after the ore had completely melted, some liquid that shimmered with a strange light began to appear in the furnace.

"This is what it looks like after refining?" Yan Jun looked on in surprise.

Just then, the entire hall suddenly began to shake violently. Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan ran over in a panic, asking, "What's going on?"

Lin Zhi shouted loudly, "There might be some unstable factor caused by the refining process, everyone be careful!"

The tremors grew stronger, and cracks began to appear in the surrounding walls. Suddenly, a large number of Zerg surged out of the cracks.

"Oh no, a large number of Zerg are attacking!" Wang Jun shouted.

The group immediately took up their weapons and engaged in fierce combat with the swarming Zerg. The Zerg were numerous, and wave after wave assaulted their defenses.

Yan Jun shouted while fighting, "We need to finish the refining quickly and see if we can use what we've refined to fight these Zerg!"

Lin Zhi gritted his teeth and continued to stare at the furnace. At this moment, the extracted liquid began to slowly condense into a golden crystal.

"Quickly, the crystal is almost formed!" Lin Zhi shouted.

Just as the crystal was fully formed, Lin Zhi swiftly removed it from the furnace. The crystal radiated powerful energy fluctuations, seemingly containing immense power.

Holding the crystal, Lin Zhi shouted at the insectoids, "Watch how I deal with you all with this!"

With that, he threw the crystal into the swarm of Zerg. The crystal exploded in mid-air, releasing a powerful energy shockwave that sent Zerg flying and fell in large numbers wherever it hit.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Zerg, everyone worked together and finally repelled this wave of Zerg.

Looking at the mess around him, Yan Jun said breathlessly, "The power of this crystal is really strong."

Lin Zhi nodded, "But I still don't know its specific function, and I need to continue researching it."

Zhang Ying looked at the crystal, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes. "Perhaps it can help us find more secrets in this insectoid world, or the key to leaving this place."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They knew that this golden crystal would be a crucial opportunity for them to continue exploring and surviving in the Zerg world, and that many more unknown challenges awaited them in the future…

The Zerg have a unique architectural style, with huge, metallic buildings scattered in a well-organized manner.

"This place is really peculiar," Lin Zhi said, frowning.

Yan Jun nodded. "Yes, it feels completely different from the world we've experienced before."

Zhang Ying looked around curiously, wondering if there was any danger here.

Just then, the Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai approached from a distance. They were tall and exuded a unique aura.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Wang Jun asked loudly.

Lin Zhi stepped forward and said, "We came from another world and accidentally traveled here."

Wang Kai looked them up and down. "Other worlds? Sounds interesting. But you'd better be careful, things aren't peaceful here."

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder. We'll be careful. By the way, could you tell us about the situation here?"

Wang Jun thought for a moment, "Alright, this is Zerg territory, and Golden City is an important stronghold for us. However, there seems to be some unusual activity around here recently."

Yan Jun asked, "Unusual noises? Is some danger approaching?"

Wang Kai shrugged. "We don't really know either, we just feel a mysterious force approaching."

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion. It turned out that the four insectoid siblings, Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li, along with Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan, had rushed over.

"Big brother, second brother, something bad has happened!" Li shouted.

Wang Jun quickly asked, "What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"

Li Hua, panting heavily, said, "We've discovered a group of strange creatures approaching the City of Gold; they don't seem to be benevolent."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi and the others immediately became nervous.

"Then let's quickly prepare to deal with it," Yan Jun said.

The group sprang into action, each grabbing their weapons. The Zerg brothers were highly skilled in using their weapons, wielding a variety of unique Zerg weapons.

Lin Zhi looked at them, secretly admiring them. "These weapons look amazing."

While adjusting the weapons, Wang Jun said, "These are all special weapons made by our Zerg, and their power should not be underestimated."

Soon, the strange creatures came into view. They had bizarre shapes and scales that shimmered with an eerie light.

"Everyone be careful!" Wang Kai shouted and rushed out first.

Wang Jun followed closely behind, and his Zerg brothers joined the fray. Lin Zhi, Yan Jun, and Zhang Ying were not to be outdone and also joined the battle.

The battlefield was in chaos, the glint of weapons flashing, and the shouts of battle deafening. Lin Zhi wielded a hastily acquired sword, battling a large monster. The monster's claws were extremely sharp, each strike accompanied by a whistling sound.

"Ah!" Lin Zhi accidentally scratched her arm with the monster's claws.

Seeing this, Yan Jun rushed over and used his weapon to block the monster's attack. "Lin Zhi, are you alright?"

Lin Zhi gritted her teeth, "It's alright, let's keep fighting!"

Zhang Ying searched for the monster's weakness, and at the opportune moment, she fired an arrow, striking the monster squarely in the eye. The monster let out a scream and collapsed to the ground.

Under the combined attack of everyone, the strange creatures gradually became unable to hold on and began to retreat.

"We won!" Li Li shouted excitedly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that this was only a temporary calm.

"What do we do next?" Li Ming asked.

Wang Jun thought for a moment, "Let's go back to Golden City first, strengthen our defenses, and see if we can find out the origin of these creatures."

So, the group returned to the City of Gold. Bathed in sunlight, the city shone with a golden light, appearing exceptionally magnificent.

Linzhi looked at the city, filled with curiosity. "This place looks so sturdy."

Wang Kai smiled and said, "Of course, the Golden City is the pride of our Zerg. It has never been breached in countless battles."

After entering the city, they began to discuss countermeasures.

“We must find out the origin of those creatures as soon as possible, otherwise they will come back,” Yan Jun said.

Li nodded. "I think we can send people to investigate the surrounding area and see if there are any clues."

Wang Jun stood up. "Alright, I'll personally lead the team to investigate. Linzhi, you should all come too; more people mean more strength."

Lin Zhi readily agreed, "Okay, I'd like to see what I can find too."

So, Wang Jun, Lin Zhi, Yan Jun, and the others left Jinzhi City and headed towards the surrounding area. Along the way, they searched cautiously.

Suddenly, Linzhi discovered some strange footprints. "Look, there are footprints here, they look like they were left by some creature."

Yan Jun crouched down to observe, "These footprints are very peculiar; they don't seem to belong to ordinary creatures."

Wang Jun frowned. "Let's keep following the footprints. Maybe we can find their nest."

Following the footprints, they came to a valley. A pungent smell permeated the valley.

"It feels so eerie here," Lin Zhi said.

Just then, they heard a low growl.

"Be careful, something's up," Wang Jun whispered.

Everyone gripped their weapons tightly and cautiously moved forward. Deep in the valley, they saw a huge, dark cave.

“This is it. Those creatures should be inside,” Yan Jun said.

Wang Jun took a deep breath. "Let's go in and take a look."

They slowly entered the cave, which was pitch black inside, and they could only grope their way forward by the faint light. Suddenly, several monsters darted out of the darkness.

"Prepare for battle!" Wang Jun shouted.

Another fierce battle erupted, the cave echoing with the sounds of clashing weapons and the roars of monsters. Lin Zhi and his companions gradually figured out the monsters' attack patterns and began to launch targeted counterattacks.

After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the monster in the cave.

“This seems to be one of their strongholds; perhaps we can find some clues about their origins,” Yan Jun said.

The group began to search the cave carefully, and sure enough, they found a tattered book in a corner.

Lin Zhi picked up the book, opened it, and saw that it contained some strange symbols and characters.

"What does this mean?" Lin Zhi asked, puzzled.

Yan Jun studied it carefully for a moment, "I feel like I've seen a similar symbol somewhere before, let me think..."

After some thought, Yan Jun finally had a clue. "These symbols and characters seem to be an ancient insectoid language, containing information about a mysterious power that seems to be able to control these strange creatures."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jun's expression turned serious. "It seems we're in big trouble. We must bring this news back to Golden City so everyone can work together to find a solution."

So they took the books and hurried back to the City of Gold. After telling the other members of the Zerg the news, everyone fell into deep thought.

"We must find a way to stop this mysterious force," Lin Zhi said firmly.

Yan Jun nodded. "That's right, we can't let Jinzhi City be in danger."

The Zerg brethren vowed to fight with all their might. A battle that would determine the fate of the Zerg was about to begin, and Lin Zhi and his companions would play a crucial role in this battle. Whether they could unveil the mystery of the power and protect the Golden City remained to be seen…

Subsequent plot: The Zerg begin researching based on clues in the books, attempting to find a way to break the mysterious power. During their research, they discover that this mysterious power seems to be related to an ancient legend of the Zerg world. To uncover the truth, Lin Zhi, Yan Jun, and others decide to follow a senior Zerg elder to the legendary, mysterious land. There, they will face more unknown dangers and challenges, while also uncovering some astonishing secrets about the Zerg's history. As the investigation deepens, they gradually discover that a larger conspiracy seems to be hidden behind this crisis, involving some forces within the Zerg.
