Chapter 110: Encountering the Flying Bugs Again (2)
Luo Wen finally understood why the chameleon bug from before had been surrounded and immobilized.
It was just like his current situation—encircled by flying bugs, debating whether they had noticed him or if he should make a run for it or stay still.
The deliberation didn’t last long; the flying bugs launched their attack.
Dozens of flying bugs dived at him. As they closed in, their wings spread wide, and their posture instantly shifted. They switched from head-first dives to rear-first thrusts, exposing the stingers at their tails.
They were so fast that, despite Luo Wen’s reaction, he couldn’t completely avoid the attack.
Fortunately, his exoskeletal armor wasn’t just for show. The tiny stingers couldn’t even leave a scratch on his back plates.
Luo Wen didn’t feel the least bit smug about it. He had seen countless times how the Red Ants dealt with Ultras, and these flying bugs resembled winged ants. Who knew if they might employ similar tactics?
Propelling himself with his legs, Luo Wen leaped from the tree and dashed off in a random direction. He didn’t choose to fly because his flight speed was far inferior to these bugs designed for aerial maneuvers.
Moreover, for him to fly, he would have to expose his wing covers—his back armor—leaving his more vulnerable abdomen exposed. That would be akin to disabling his own defenses.
