Chapter 453 Mission: Pest Control
A series of blood-red prompt boxes suddenly appeared in the field of vision of all players without any warning. Even players in the mysterious abyss and strange planes were not spared.
The eye-catching red color seems to foreshadow the impending calamity, making people feel chilled.
Gu Yeming's eyes were fixed on the prompt box in front of him, and his face instantly became gloomy.
As a veteran player who had personally experienced the insect plague - 9 - 9 Devouring Frenzy, a super-large-scale terrorist event, he had a profound understanding of the terrifying harmfulness of the Devouring Star Worms that was difficult for others to achieve.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if the two notorious and terrifying evil giants, the Abyss Plane and the Weird Plane, are superimposed together, the threats they pose are nothing compared to the World Devouring Starworms.
"They chose to launch the invasion at such a critical moment as the Domain Competition..." Gu Yeming was secretly shocked, his brows furrowed, his eyes scanning back and forth in the dense Zerg array.
Zhang Haomiao, Li Zhizhi and Huo Feng, who were standing by, were also nervous as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
They stared with sharp eyes at the Zerg surging like a black tide in the distance. They looked eager to rush forward and do their part to resist the insect plague.
However, seeing that Gu Yeming had a solemn expression but still stood there without moving an inch, the three of them looked at each other, and finally chose to stop and watch, quietly waiting for Gu Yeming's next instructions.
"If my guess is correct, the previous message of 'don't come back' is most likely referring to these world-eating starworms." Just when everyone was full of uneasiness, Gu Yeming suddenly broke the silence and spoke.
"Huh?" Zhang Haomiao was stunned when he heard this. He quickly glanced at the Zerg in the distance with surprise, and then asked anxiously:
"Could it be that... the blue technological plane has already been invaded by these horrible bugs?"
"That's right." Gu Yeming looked solemn and nodded slowly. Then he told the three people all the detailed information he knew about the World-Devouring Starworms without reservation.
Zhang Haomiao and the other two listened attentively to Gu Yeming's story.
As information flooded into their minds like a tide, their faces turned paler and paler, as if all the blood had been drained from them. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with panic and helplessness. For a moment, they were completely at a loss as to what to do.
"A special insect species that can completely destroy an entire plane...the World-Eating Starworm?" Zhang Haomiao murmured to himself, his voice trembling unconsciously.
He subconsciously clenched his fists, his joints turning slightly white due to the force. In his heart, it was hard to imagine that these seemingly insignificant bugs could harbor such terrifying potential that was harmful enough to subvert a large number of dimensions.
"Compared to the abyss and the strange plane, the harm caused by the Devouring Starworm is even worse."
Gu Yeming said in a low voice:
"The two major planes launched a plane war, mostly for the purpose of infecting and assimilating the entire plane, thereby expanding military resources and strengthening their own strength."
"Although the means are cruel and the actions are evil, at least some lucky ones will be left with a trace of autonomy, so that all the creatures in the entire plane will not be slaughtered."
"But the Devouring Starworms are completely different. Compared to the previous two, their thoughts are simple and almost pure, that is - eat."
Gu Yeming paused for a moment, a look of fear in his eyes:
"No matter who you are, what race you are, or what status you hold, in their eyes, you are nothing more than food that can be swallowed in one bite and consumed in an instant."
At this point, Gu Yeming's expression became stern, and he solemnly reminded the three people:
"Don't rush forward to help rashly. There are many powerful individuals at the Calamity Level and even the Demarcation Level in the Devouring Star Insects. The ones that appear here right now are just their vanguard troops, and their strength is far from all of them."
"Fortunately, there are many powerful people of the natural disaster level and boundary level gathered here. Compared with other areas of the domain, this place is relatively safe."
Gu Yeming looked around and continued, "Don't move around casually. With these strong men here, the situation here can be controlled for the time being."
Li Zhizhi and Huo Feng looked solemn and nodded heavily.
Zhang Haomiao was very perceptive and heard something else in Gu Yeming's words. He stared at Gu Yeming and asked, "What about you? Are you planning to leave?"
Gu Yeming did not answer immediately. At this moment, a task box suddenly popped up in front of him:
[Due to the impact of the insect plague?9?9 Devouring Frenzy event, the blue technology plane has been deeply affected]
[You have triggered the corresponding task: Pest control]

"You want to go back to the blue technology plane?" Zhang Haomiao guessed what he was thinking. He shook his head and said seriously:
"We will go back with you. We can't let you bear this pressure alone!"
However, Gu Yeming shook his head decisively and rejected Zhang Haomiao's proposal: "Commander Zhang, no one can compare to me in understanding the harmfulness of the Devouring Starworms."
"Once the situation becomes extremely serious, even a Calamity-level or even Boundary-level warrior will be at risk of falling."
Gu Yeming looked calm, but his tone left no room for doubt: "I have the trial token. If I really encounter an irresistible crisis, I can use the power of the token to instantly teleport to the guard space to escape."
"But you are different. You don't have such protection, so you'd better stay here honestly. There are many representatives of various forces guarding you, so it's relatively safe."
"This..." Zhang Haomiao hesitated after hearing this.
He was a smart man, and after just a little thought, he understood the deep meaning of Gu Yeming's words.
Although he was filled with reluctance, he also knew that it would be difficult for the three of them to play a substantive role. If they followed rashly, they might become a burden to Gu Yeming and increase his concerns.
"Okay..." Zhang Haomiao sighed, his face full of helplessness. Deep down, he felt deeply frustrated about the "burden" situation of the three of them at the moment:
"Be careful along the way... If the Devouring Starworm is as scary as you say, you must act within your capabilities."
"I know it well."
Gu Yeming responded softly, without saying anything more, turned around resolutely, and rushed towards the direction of the cross-space ferry.
