Chapter 2293: The Nest Is Lost Before the Expedition Begins
At the central nest, even with the insect swarm doing everything possible to slow down, they could only do so without damaging the nest's main structure!
The speed had gradually decreased, but at this distance, for Jiangnan, it was enough!
Chong Ruhua reported anxiously: "Insect Emperor, the reconnaissance squad reports that at Paradise Domain, the void blockade line alarm has been triggered. Jiangnan has appeared!"
Chong Bishi's sense of unease grew stronger!
"Dammit! What exactly are they trying to do?"
She was clearly the attacker, but right now she felt extremely passive, her heart unsettled and uncertain!
At such a great distance, what could Jiangnan possibly accomplish?
But just then, the show began!
Qian Benying, hidden in the dimensional gap, had already made her preparations and had been quietly observing the swarm's movements!
As soon as the chaos started, she knew that Xuanse Si had turned traitor and backstabbed!
And Qian Benying, silently calculating the distance, knew that by now the nest had entered firing range!
( ͡° ～ ͡°)✧"Bully Gang members, hear my command! Break through space! Start building the bridge!"
With the order, with the help of dimensional beasts, the Bully Gang's underlings directly broke through space from within the dimensional gap!
Immediately, along a straight line spanning nearly five hundred light-years from outside Paradise Domain all the way to the nest location!
More than a hundred void holes appeared, one every five light-years!
Qian Benying gritted her teeth:
(◕‸◕)☞"Follow my count! Three! Two! One! Throw!"
As she spoke, she pulled out colorful little fire jars from her pocket, double-clicked them, and hurled them fiercely through the void holes!
In an instant, more than a hundred little fire jars radiating colorful brilliance lined up in a straight line over nearly five hundred light-years!
After throwing them, the void holes closed up, and Qian Benying and her group hid in the dimensional gap to withstand the explosion's shockwave!
Chong Bishi's pupils contracted sharply!
(๑⊙益⊙)"Those forbidden weapons? More than a hundred? How could Jiangnan have so many? Damn! Damn it!"
Jiangnan's goal was to completely devour her nest!
But everything was already too late!
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Explosions rang out consecutively across the starry sky, and over a hundred little fire jars detonated simultaneously in space!
Dense multicolored energy rippled outward, each little fire jar's explosion covering a diameter of three light-years around it!
They forcibly erected a spectacular and gorgeous rainbow bridge across this nearly five-hundred-light-year ultra-distant span!
Jiangnan stood with his hands behind his back, smiling brilliantly as he watched the magnificent scene before him, bursting with vigor!
(❥¯◡¯)"Attacking Paradise Domain? Sorry! I can't wait for you to come at me! The decision to start the war is in my hands. I'll take one of your cities first!"
"Let's see how the hell you defend against this!"
At this moment, everyone in the Bully Gang stared in shock at the rainbow bridge erected in the starry sky!
Holy crap! That's ruthless!
Was he directly using multicolored energy to feed Paradise Domain, actively attacking to devour the nest?
This was a blatant, undisguised scheme!
Jiangnan grinned:
(￢◡￢❥)"Feiyu! I've thrown all my assets into this wave. This rainbow bridge is built for you. Life or death depends on you! Don't screw it up!"
Chong Feiyu stood dazed, staring at the dazzling rainbow bridge before her, stars twinkling in her eyes!
˚₊*(ˊॢO̶̶̷̤꒨O̴̶̷̤ˋॢ)*₊˚
She had to admit, this was the most beautiful starry sky scene she had ever seen, without exception!
So this was the real "pulanbi"? No complicated twists—just directly using multicolored little fire jars to build a bridge and go head-on against the swarm!
Letting the two-dimensional fragments extend along this energy bridge to unfold the nest?
She was just afraid that Chong Bishi wouldn't make a move!
Chong Feiyu's eyes reddened. She said nothing, only nodded heavily and hummed in acknowledgment.
(❥ᵒ̴̶̷̥́◠ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀) Mmm.
Jiangnan smiled, raising his hand to generate thick void chains, connecting to the two-dimensional fragment behind him.
The fragment devoured the chains and extended forward, forming a fragment shield in front of Jiangnan and the others.
Opening a space wormhole through the fragment, Jiangnan pulled out a little fire jar, double-clicked it, and threw out a warp bubble with a filling.
If the rainbow bridge they had erected was the fuse, then this last little fire jar in Jiangnan's hand was the spark that lit it!
"Boom!"
The little fire jar exploded violently, the blazing multicolored energy extending three light-years away, formally connecting Paradise Domain with the rainbow bridge!
In the next instant, the two-dimensional fragment that made contact with the multicolored energy, like a parched land finally receiving rain, frantically devoured the energy!
Following the direction of the rainbow bridge, it expanded and unfolded at a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of light!
The speed increased exponentially!
The garrison legion at the void blockade line didn't even have time to turn and flee!
Some were directly unfolded by the two-dimensional fragment, and the blockade line was instantly torn open with a huge gap! And it was spreading toward the nest at extreme speed!
Jiangnan's eyes gleamed with excitement. It was feasible!
He had used all the little fire jars he had obtained from the colorful catfish here!
During the previous raid on the nest for the immortal cocoon, Jiangnan had "seen" part of Chong Bishi's strategic deployment for attacking Paradise Domain, which gave him the idea for "pulanbi."
And back at the 666 mining area, when Jiangnan threw that little fire jar, it was for calculating distance—how far one little fire jar's energy could make Paradise Domain extend.
The answer was an explosion diameter of three light-years, extending five light-years!
With a hundred-plus little fire jars in hand, it was enough to make Paradise Domain extend five hundred light-years in the direction he wanted!
The only thing to ensure was that Chong Bishi's nest fell within that distance range!
After all, Chong Bishi wasn't stupid—she wouldn't bring her nest too close to Paradise Domain!
That's where Xuanse Si's task came in!
Jiangnan had only given him one task: no matter what, he had to make sure Chong Bishi's nest entered the 500-light-year range!
Leave the rest to him!
As long as the nest and Chong Bishi's main body were pulled into Paradise Domain, things would turn around!
And now, Chong Bishi couldn't escape even if she wanted to—such a huge nest couldn't be moved away in a short time!
Jiangnan immediately deployed an alternate dimension, his eyes cold.
"Everyone inside! We're going to fight the swarm!"
Everyone entered the alternate dimension, while Jiangnan shot out in a warp bubble at maximum curvature, following the rainbow bridge, passing through countless two-dimensional fragments via space wormholes, straight for the swarm!
At Chong Bishi's side, she watched the rainbow bridge being erected, directly connecting to her nest!
The spark had fallen, the fuse lit, and the two-dimensional fragments were madly extending along the rainbow bridge toward them!
(๑⊙益⊙)"Damn! Damn it! Push the nest sideways! Avoid the energy bridge!"
"At the junction point, all insects self-destruct! Clear the nearby star zone! Hurry!"
Slowing down and retreating was too late—they had to push sideways!
"No! It's too late! Abandon the eastern nest structure! Give it up! Fast!"
The connection points of the nest structure network were directly blown up, and a large chunk of the nest structure detached from the main body!
Chong Bishi was trying to sacrifice the tail to save the body!
But it was still too late. The speed of the two-dimensional fragment spreading was unimaginable—it kept accelerating and expanding in all directions!
It was already upon them. Such a huge nest couldn't dodge!
Even though Chong Bishi possessed star-devouring power, she was helpless against this situation. She couldn't stop the two-dimensional fragment from spreading!
If she didn't make a decision, she would lose her entire swarm!
"All swarm members, scatter! Abandon the nest! Spread out as much as possible! Hurry!"
At this moment, Chong Bishi's eyes were bloodshot. She grabbed Xuanse Si and charged out of the nest!
If she stayed inside any longer, she would be unfolded along with the nest!
Xuanse Si laughed heartily:
(⸝⸝›◞ิ౪◟ิ‹⸝⸝)"Brother Nan is truly awesome! His methods are no joke! Bitch! You're finished!"
Chong Bishi's eyes were blood red: "Shut up! Believe me, I'll kill you right now! If I'm not having a good time, neither will you!"
The swarm began to scatter entirely, each insect saving itself—like spreading black mist!
Just a few seconds after Chong Bishi rushed out of the nest, the two-dimensional fragment indeed extended over along the rainbow bridge!
Its speed had far surpassed light, giving the swarm no time to react!
In an instant, countless insect soldiers were directly two-dimensionalized, dying on the spot without even knowing how!
And the massive energy generated by the dimension-reduced unfolding further fueled the mad spread of the two-dimensional fragment!
The moment the fragment touched the central nest, it had completely gone berserk!
The energy from two-dimensionalizing the entire central nest was even more explosive than that of a hundred little fire jars!
The central nest began to be frantically unfolded, spreading in all directions!
Everything inside—eggs, soldiers, all kinds of insects—none were spared, all two-dimensionally unfolded!
And Xuanse's Chaos Legion, seemingly thinking the swarm wasn't miserable enough, charged into the scattered swarm and exploded wildly!
Using their own energy to pull the two-dimensional fragment over, they two-dimensionalized the surrounding insect soldiers together!
In the blink of an eye, the entire central nest no longer existed, becoming a huge starry sky painting, which then shattered!
The energy from two-dimensionalizing the nest and swarm caused Paradise Domain to extend outward another two hundred light-years!
The entire Paradise Domain, originally round, had become oval-shaped because it had devoured the central nest!
Chong Bishi watched this scene with bloodshot eyes, feeling the feedback information—her heart was bleeding!
In this wave, the swarm's numbers had at least been halved. The living nest she had poured all her efforts into was now a photograph!
The nest was lost before the expedition even began! This loss was so severe she had lost her underwear. Even if she could take Paradise Domain, it wouldn't make up for this loss!
She had schemed and calculated, but this time she had truly fallen into a fiery pit—the biggest pit she had ever stepped into since birth!
And most importantly, her main body was now trapped inside Paradise Domain!
Damn! Damn it!
