1653 Two choices _

On the screen, the battle was still ongoing. The two Silverback Golden-winged bugs didn’t participate much in the attack. They just stood by the teleportation array and let the digging bugs destroy it. Although the two nascent soul experts from base number five were extremely anxious and attacked the two Silverback Golden-winged bugs a few times, it was to no avail.

The silver-backed Golden-winged bug’s attack power was stronger than theirs. If the two silver-backed Golden-winged bugs weren’t guarding the teleportation array, the two nascent soul experts would have been killed long ago.

The two thousand infant stage experts obviously understood this, but they had no choice but to attack the teleportation array square. If they couldn’t take this place, then base No. 5 would be finished.

He knew that it was not an easy task to build a base on planet Fabio. Every time a base was built, a large number of cultivators would die in battle. Losing a base was equivalent to losing a foothold. They would be driven out of planet Fabio sooner or later.

Therefore, the people of the cultivation world would not give in to any base. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would think of a way to defend the base.

The entire base No. 5 was in a mess, but Zheng Li knew very well that base No. 5 was finished. They could not hold on any longer. Without any reinforcements, a large number of zergs had already swarmed into base No. 5, and the teleportation formation was almost destroyed. Under such circumstances, it would be a fool’s dream to hold on to base No. 5.

However, the problem now was that even if they didn’t want to defend base No. 5, it would be very difficult for them to leave. The cultivation world’s bases on planet Fabio were all connected by teleportation arrays, and they were very far away from each other. It was very dangerous to go from one base to the other without using teleportation arrays because there were also many zergs moving between the two bases.

At the thought of this, Zheng Li could not help but smile bitterly. It seemed like the cultivation world had been too reliant on the teleportation formation all these years. Without the teleportation formation, they could not even retreat.

Even so, Zheng Li did not give up on resisting. He knew very well that the enemy in front of him was not any other race in the cultivation world. If it were any other race, they might let them go if they gave up resisting. However, the Zergs would not. If they gave up resisting, they would become food for the Zergs.

Right now, the thing that Zheng Li was most worried about was his family. His family members were only civilians. All these years, because he had cultivated well, his family’s status had been slightly higher. If he were to die Here, it was conceivable that his family’s status would immediately return to how it was before, and that was not something he wanted to see.

The reason why many rogue cultivators in the cultivation world worked so hard in their cultivation was for their families. They would only work so hard in cultivation so that their families could escape from the days of being kept in captivity and living like slaves.

Including himself, Zheng Li’s family had a total of six people. Zheng Li’s grandfather had passed away, but his grandmother was still alive. His parents were still alive, and he also had a younger brother and a younger sister.

His father was also cultivating, but his father’s cultivation talent was not as good as his. Until now, he was only a Qi layer cultivator, not even reaching the Foundation Stage. His father would go on a mission every day to support his younger brother and sister’s cultivation, and also to feed his family.

His mother and grandmother had also started cultivating, but their talents were even worse. They were only at the body forging stage and were farming at home every day. His brother was quite talented. He was only 20 years old today and was already at the Qi cultivating stage. His sister, on the 15th, was even more talented than his brother. She had just reached the Qi cultivating stage. Of course, the reason why his brother and sister could reach such a height before the age of 20 was also related to him. He was now a golden core stage cultivator. From time to time, he would take some pills back for his younger brother and sister to cultivate. That was why his younger brother and sister’s progress was so fast. With his younger brother’s current cultivation speed, it might not take long for him to be noticed by that sect and accepted as an outer sect disciple. In that case, they would definitely be rich in the future.

However, if he died here, then everything would be over. When the major sects recruited outer sect disciples, the age limit was very strict. If one’s strength was enough, it would still be impossible to enter the sect after the age limit. If his younger brother and sister were to cultivate on their own without medicinal pills, they might not be able to enter the sect for the rest of their lives.

It was not that Zheng Li looked down on his brother and sister, but the truth. Although his brother and sister had decent cultivation talent, they were definitely not geniuses. Without the support of medicinal pills, it was extremely difficult for them to enter a large sect. One should know that there was no shortage of people in the cultivation world, and those large sects would rather choose quality over quantity. Therefore, almost all the people who were selected into the sect were geniuses, which was the only way to ensure the combat strength of the sect.

However, even if Zheng Li wanted to live, he had to see if the Zergs would agree. Thinking of this, Zheng Li couldn’t help but feel a slight bitterness in his mouth. He thought that after he became a core formation realm master, he would be able to leave and become an elder of that sect. Although he wouldn’t have much power, he would still receive the treatment of an elder. With these things, he would be able to better train his younger brother and sister. However, he didn’t expect that the Zergs ‘attacks would be more and more violent. This time, even his path of retreat was cut off. The hope of him surviving was already very small.

Although Zheng Li felt waves of despair, he did not give up on resisting. He knew very well that as long as he did not give up, there would still be a trace of hope. If he gave up, he would lose all hope.

The battle was still going on. More and more zergs arrived, and their levels were getting higher and higher. There was a type of flying zergs that looked like large mosquitoes. Zhao Hai had never seen them before, but they were not weak. They had the combat power of a core formation realm cultivator.

With the addition of these insects, the situation in base number five became even more out of control. A small number of cultivators had already started to escape. If it wasn’t for the two nascent Soul Stage experts who were still resisting, those cultivators would have collapsed.

One should never overestimate the combat awareness of cultivators, because cultivators cherished their lives more than ordinary people, so their combat awareness was even weaker. If there was hope, it would be fine, but once they felt that there was no hope of resisting, then fleeing was almost a foregone conclusion.

The two nascent soul realm experts weren’t having a good time either. Although they were nascent soul realm experts, there were many of them in the world of self-cultivation. If they really lost base No. 5, they would be punished even if they escaped back to the world of self-cultivation. The big sects in the world of self-cultivation had their own rules. Losing base No. 5 was a serious crime.

However, as more and more insects entered base number five, the two nascent Soul Stage cultivators had to consider their own safety. Between being punished or dying, they would rather be punished than die Here. If they died, their bodies and Dao would disappear. This was an outcome that no cultivator could accept.

Just as the two nascent Soul Stage experts were about to retreat, the last straw that broke the camel’s back appeared. The two golden thorn bugs appeared.

The Golden thorn bug was about the same size as the Silverback Golden-winged bug. The only difference was that it had a golden thorn on its head. The biggest feature of this thorn was that it could move. When the thorn moved, it was like a long spear. It was an insect on par with the Silverback Golden-winged bug.

The Golden thorn bug was not only as famous as the Silverback golden winged bug, but their strength was also similar. They were both insects at the nascent Soul Stage. As soon as these two bugs appeared, the two nascent soul cultivators immediately ran away. They knew very well that there was no way they could withstand the attack of four nascent soul bugs. If they didn’t run now, they really wouldn’t be able to escape.

As soon as the two of them ran away, they started the chaos in base number five. When the other cultivators in base number five saw them running away, they immediately turned around and ran as well. The last resistance of base number five disappeared. Seeing this, Zheng Li sighed impatiently. He turned around and rushed out of base number five. After all, he wanted to live as well.
