The murderous intent in his question revealed Jiang Yuan's anger.

Originally, he was only targeting the Zerg within China, but now he didn't expect that the Zerg in Siberia would dare to cross China from the north to provide support in the Golden Triangle. If he didn't accept this provocation, he wouldn't be Jiang Yuan.

"This is a secret message stone, containing encrypted files that can only be viewed by specific individuals. As for who sent it, this secret message stone was brought by a paper crane, which disappeared after the stone was placed down."

Kuang Kai handed the Secret Sound Stone to Jiang Yuan, and then said, "The Secret Sound Stone contains records about the Zerg fleet in Siberia."

"Distribute these supplies to the brothers. Now, tell them to prepare well. We are ready to move at any time."

Jiang Yuan gave a storage ring to Qiu Yun. As the high priest of the minotaurs, Qiu Yun was the best person besides him to inspire the minotaurs' morale.

Kuang Kai and Qiu Yun left the tent, while Jiang Yuan carefully opened the secret sound stone. There were many people who would pass messages to him, but those who used this method to pass messages were clearly not the few people he had imagined.

Sure enough, Jiang Yuan frowned after opening the secret sound stone.

The owner of the Secret Sound Stone was actually Gu Anlei. The message she conveyed came from a sage. Although he couldn't verify its authenticity, Jiang Yuan had no reason not to believe it.

"So you deserve some credit for protecting China!" Jiang Yuan sneered. He didn't think the companion goddess was protecting China out of kindness. This kind of woman was full of detachment and had no scruples. Just like Nancheng back then, she would perform a blood sacrifice without hesitation.

"Trying to force me out by withdrawing their defenses? Dream on."

Jiang Yuan sneered. Gu Anlei had described the power of the Sage inside the Secret Sound Stone. The Sage had already cultivated his own power before the cataclysm. It could be said that China was able to defend its territory thanks in large part to her. And now, her purpose in choosing to withdraw her power was to threaten him.

But the Imperial Star doesn't stop rotating without its accompanying deity, and China won't perish without her.

“Thousand Ice Mystic Insect, ranked seventy-fourth. If you dare to come, I dare to kill you.” Jiang Yuan destroyed the entire Secret Sound Stone. Gu Anlei not only told him about the insectoids from Siberia, but also warned him that China was no longer under the protection of the Companion God, so many unpredictable things would happen next, and he should be vigilant at all times.

"Master, should we ask the two ladies and the beastmen for support?" the tomb maiden asked softly from the side. She was overstepping her bounds, but it was all for the safety of her master.

"No need, this is my business, no need to trouble them."

Jiang Yuan is the one who owes Mi Tan'er. Liu Zhaodi and An Xiaoyu are already in a difficult position enough; there's no need to drag them into it as well.

"Brother, something terrible has happened."

Just as Jiang Yuan was preparing to arrange the attack plan, Jiang Jun, who had gone out to gather information, suddenly rushed in.

"You're so impatient! Can't you be a little more composed? And why don't you change your form of address? Don't you know about the proper order of respect?" The tomb maiden glared coldly at Jiang Jun.

"..."

Clearly, Jiang Jun was stunned for a moment; he himself didn't know why the Tomb Maiden had suddenly attacked him.

"It's just a form of address, no need to worry about it."

In the end, it was Jiang Yuan who smoothed things over between the two. He asked Jiang Jun, "What did you just say was something terrible?"

"The Demon Beetle is giving birth to a Nascent Soul level insect brain, and according to my estimation, whether it succeeds or not depends on the next two days." Jiang Jun didn't dare to ramble on and directly reported his discovery.

"A Nascent Soul level insect brain?" Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and focused his mind. He hadn't expected that he, who had been crushing his way through, would encounter a problem here.

Once the insect brain reaches the Nascent Soul level, the population of this insect hive will increase dramatically in a short period of time. At that time, the entire Golden Triangle will be occupied by the Demon Beetles, and their influence may even spread into China.

"Master, why don't we retreat first? We've already avenged Miss Tan'er, there's no need to waste any more time. After all, your injuries are more serious now." The Tomb Maiden looked at her master's chest with concern. Having served her master all this time, she naturally knew that the injury was getting worse and worse.

“Regardless of whether the insect brain evolves or not, we will proceed as planned. However, this time the strategy will be changed. I will take over the Demon Armored Insects that Jiang Jun was originally in charge of. As for Jiang Jun, you will go and attack the Sand Kui Insect Clan. The relatively small number of Black Butterflies will be left to the Tomb Maiden and the Minotaur Clan.”

Jiang Yuan made the battle assignments, and then instructed again: "This three-front war is very risky. The most crucial thing is that we are isolated and helpless. No side can afford to be defeated. Once we are defeated, the other two sides will face pressure from multiple sides."

"I'm fine with Death Knight," Jiang Jun assured, patting his chest.

Jiang Jun himself possesses the Insect Brain talent, and with the Death Knight empowered by the Death God's power, his combat strength is terrifying. Dealing with a group of Sandworms is only a matter of time.

"The Tomb Maiden will fight to the last moment with her life." Although the Tomb Maiden did not make a guarantee, her attitude spoke for itself. She was not a combat-type undead servant, so her control over the course of the battle was limited. Moreover, the actual controller of the Minotaur race was Qiu Yun, and she could only be considered an assistant.

"I trust you all quite well, so I won't say more. Just make sure you're safe," Jiang Yuan instructed.

The Tomb Maiden and Jiang Jun have been of great help to him these days. Because of their talent as undead servants, those beings they kill or whose deaths are related to them will contribute their marks of the dead. This is why he was able to collect ten million marks of the dead in just half a month.

"Return to your teams and prepare. We'll be heading into the Golden Triangle in half an hour."
