I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

When Lu Yuan saw the Insect Tide, a chill ran down his spine, feeling that there was little chance of victory.

He sprinted quickly, grabbing Old Wolf and Old Cat, touching the Tree of Life, and transferring his soul over.

"Mr. Turtle, protect yourself, the enemy forces are coming!"

"Retreat, it's no shame! Tighten up the sails!"

After he shouted this, he activated Different Space, with the Tree of Life as its core.

This Different Space was vast, after all, the Tree of Life was nearly 10 meters tall, and the soap bubble-like structure with a diameter of 10 meters was dozens of times larger than before, containing even more air.

Due to the Tree of Life's rapid recovery ability, this small Different Space could almost last indefinitely.

The swarm of metallic bugs charged over at an alarming speed.

The Undying Giant Turtle, although furious at heart, knew it wasn't an opponent for so many insects and hurriedly retracted into its shell, turning into a rock and entering a semi-dormant state.

"So you call for help, Mr. Turtle spares your life."

The defense of this black rock was astonishing, its surface engravings constantly rotating, impervious even to powerful liquid acid.

Then, after these insects reached their destination, they began to slaughter each other!

Tents were trampled, and food was plundered completely.

Naturally, the water in Old Wolf's washbowl was also looted entirely.

Even the excrement it had just produced, and the urine in the basin, were eaten by some insect. Explore stories on empire

Witnessing this scene, the Old Wolf licked its dry nose with its pink tongue, seeming somewhat uneasy.

It howled sorrowfully, "Awooo!"

Next, something even more unexpected happened; the insect whose water sac had been shot by Lu Yuan became the target of the crowd.

All the insects launched a brutal attack on it. Hundreds of Extraordinary Life creatures with a variety of bizarre abilities launched their attacks, with spiritual attacks, venom spitting, and liquid acid.

Straws were inserted into its body.

It struggled fiercely but to no avail.

Its body shriveled at a visibly alarming rate.

In just a minute, the injured Desert Spiral Worm had turned into an empty shell; even its brain was completely drained.

The Insect Army studied the black rock for a while, finding no way to penetrate it, they finally left reluctantly.

Only then did Lu Yuan come back to his senses, feeling a pang in his heart, "This desert is crazy, a Level 3 Extraordinary Creature just died like that?"

"It's only been a little over five thousand days, has combat power inflated to this extent?"

He used Pioneer's Eye to survey these strange insects, committing their information to memory.

"Level 2," "Level 3," "Level 1"...

These creatures generally possessed very thick shells, with only their underbellies, joints, and compound eyes as potential weak points; other areas were flawless, even machine gun fire was ineffective.

Most importantly, they all had incredibly sharp mouthparts that excreted a potent acid.

Conventional armor was like paper in front of these mouthparts, pierced at once.

And their movement speed was extremely fast; the insects' body structures were perfectly adapted to the desert, practically flying across the sand.

Whether human or turtle, running on sand proved exceptionally difficult, their speed of movement on a totally different level compared to the insects.

"Taking down one or two is feasible, but with this number, it's completely overwhelming..." Lu Yuan sighed deeply.

The civilization of one man is so miraculous.

Sometimes, even Anomalies could be taken on alone!

But now, facing a large group of highly combative insects, it felt quite troublesome.

Fortunately, these insects arrived as fast as they left, scattering in the blink of an eye, hiding in every nook and cranny of the desert.

Lu Yuan analyzed, "They must have come for water; I just distributed 10 liters of water to everyone, with bathing and making popsicles."

"The water evaporated a bit too much, they smelled it, and these guys swarmed over."

"Luckily, these guys aren't intelligent, and they slaughter each other."

"If I encounter a large group, I just need to injure one with a bomb, the rest will go into a feeding frenzy, and then I can make my escape... well, that's about it."

Old Cat nodded in agreement, "So the key thing is water, we must be more careful in the future, urine should be stored in petrol cans, then collected in Storage Space."

Lu Yuan frowned and reluctantly agreed, "Alright then."

Old Cat: "Even feces contain water, you can't just dump it anywhere... it's best to also collect it in Storage Space."

Lu Yuan thought this method was rather twisted.

A Storage Space filled with feces and urine, what was this all about?

Old Cat shook his head, continuing, "The creatures here have evolved such abilities, you've got to be prepared for the desert to be vast and arid."

"Besides, aren't there too many Extraordinary Life creatures, more than all the Extraordinary Life we've ever observed combined? How many Level Three are there?"

"33 Level Three, 61 Level Two, and 139 Level One insects," Lu Yuan replied, "With such a vast desert, it's not inconceivable there are Level Four, even Level Five insects."

Theoretically, over five thousand days, combat power shouldn't have inflated to such a degree.

If it keeps inflating at this rate, in ten thousand years, Extraordinary Life could easily defeat civilization.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan smacked his forehead, his face lighting up with excitement.
