Chapter 174 A "Guest" from Another Region

At this moment, if two strong players were to stand there, the ferocious insects in the city would surely mobilize to capture them and offer them to the mother insect.

There is a persistent behavior among the ferocious insects of pleasing the mother insect.

Having made their plans, Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing temporarily left Shali City to find a secluded, insect-free place to rest for a day.

Now, all the ferocious insects in the entire Luo Kingdom, except for those in Kshatriya City, have mobilized to find food for the mother insect.

The ferocious insects of Kshatriya City were itching to attack because they had smelled the scent on the two of them earlier.

The next day, the two, having rested, arrived in Kshatriya City.

Wei Yanqing put his arm around Rong Yi's waist, and the two of them took off together, arriving above the city of Kshatriya.

They didn't plan to attack head-on; that would be too exhausting. It would be better to let the ferocious insects take the initiative, and then the two of them would deal with it.

Soon, the ferocious insects in the city smelled their scent. They were already restless, but they hissed menacingly. Some of the larger insects even jumped high, but they were too heavy and could not reach the two people.

It also killed many smaller sub-insects when it landed.

Not satisfied, Rong Yi threw out several pieces of fresh, bloody flesh, which made the swarm of ferocious insects even more frenzied.

Before long, the ferocious insects found a new way: they climbed and piled up on each other, intending to destroy the insect tower and bite the two people.

However, Wei Yanqing moved nimbly, teasing them as if they were monkeys.

The adult insects, having developed some intelligence, began to hiss strangely as they watched Wei Yanqing toying with them, as if calling for something.

“There’s hope,” Rong Yi said.

Then Wei Yanqing pointed in a certain direction, "Look over there."

Rong Yi looked around and saw that a tremor had occurred somewhere in the city, and the ferocious insects on the ground had been knocked to pieces, forming a huge bulge in the ground.

Immediately afterwards, two long, sharp teeth pierced through the ground, causing a large amount of soil and rocks to slide down, revealing the black and reddish insect shell underneath—it was the mother insect.

"Ha! It comes out with just a little stimulation." Rong Yi said cheerfully.

Wei Yanqing carefully examined the image of the mother insect. Just as Rong Yi had said, its shell was black with red eggs on it, like red lines.

The mother insect that emerges from the ground is as tall as a five- or six-story building, making other adult insects look like underdeveloped younger brothers in comparison.

The mother insect immediately located them. Faced with such provocation from the players who had come to its territory, the mother insect first raised its head and roared fiercely.

The entire city's ferocious insects responded to the mother insect's voice. Then the mother insect lowered her head and emitted rapid, rhythmic hissing. Subsequently, some of the ferocious insects reacted. Regardless of whether they were adults or sub-insects, their backs began to mutate, and pairs of fleshy wings unfolded.

It's easier for sub-insects to fly, but more difficult for adults. After successfully taking flight, they gradually stabilize their bodies.

Rong Yi: "As expected, such a command for rapid evolution must be issued by the mother insect."

Wei Yanqing slapped an item onto Rong Yi, "Activate the item. It will help you fly in the air. I have twenty fourth-tier insect crystals inside. That should last you for half a month."

Rong Yi glanced at the prop slapped on his shoulder blade. It looked like an ordinary sticker, but it seemed somewhat familiar.

But there was no time to think about that now, as the ferocious insects were about to fly right in front of them.

"Okay, then be careful."

Wei Yanqing nodded and released her hand. Rong Yi remained steadily suspended in the air. She tried to move to the left in her mind, and her body indeed moved to the left.

The initial plan was to lure out the mother insect and then lead the ferocious insects outside to form a defensive formation. Unexpectedly, Wei Yanqing brought out such a prop, saving the effort of running around everywhere.

·

Wei Yanqing flew elsewhere, and some of the ferocious insects with fleshy wings chased after him, but most of them went towards Rong Yi.

Just as the two were about to deal with the ferocious insects, the mother insect chirped twice from behind, and the ferocious insect that was chasing Wei Yanqing stopped and turned to fly towards Rong Yi.

Wei Yanqing stopped moving, frowning as he watched the ferocious insects leave. "Rong Yi, they're all facing you. Attack them all at once."

"good!"

Rong Yi rushed forward with the Blazing Furnace in hand. Whether it was an illusion or not, the mother insect reacted more violently when the Blazing Furnace appeared, which Wei Yanqing saw very clearly.

With a single stroke, all the insects with fleshy wings were decapitated, their wings ceasing to flap as they plummeted to the ground.

However, even more ferocious insects came towards Rongyi.

Wei Yanqing froze them all, and Rong Yi quickly followed, and another batch was harvested.

“That queen insect is targeting you,” Wei Yanqing said.

Rong Yi: "I know, the first thing it did when it came out was to bark at me, but I don't recognize it."

It's not that I don't recognize the ferocious insect species, but rather that I don't recognize this single female insect.

The two of them, one controlling the enemy and the other launching a fierce attack, dealt with wave after wave of evolving ferocious insects.

Having consumed a great deal of energy to evolve wings, these ferocious insects have become much less powerful and are extremely easy to deal with.

This is, of course, from the player's perspective.

This is also their strategy: to deal with the insects in batches to catch their breath, without having to face the full strength of the ferocious insect swarm.

Seeing that the ferocious insects she sent out hadn't even touched Rong Yi's clothes, the mother insect, enraged, moved her claws herself, trying to get in front of the two of them.

Wei Yanqing: "The mother insect has moved."

Rong Yi slashed down the ferocious insect in front of him and looked at the mother insect's location. "It's gone mad."

As the female insect in the colony, it requires more nutrition, resulting in an exceptionally large body and rather small claws, giving the impression that it could be crushed by its body at any moment.

Once it reaches this size, the mother insect has to be carried by other ferocious insects and doesn't need to move on its own.

How much does he hate her? He's even rushing to walk on his own.

Without the evolved ferocious insects, Rong Yi said to Wei Yanqing, "You stay here, I'll try to get closer and talk to it."

Considering that the mother insect had no wings, Wei Yanqing nodded, "Okay, if something seems wrong, retreat quickly, and I'll keep a close eye on things for you."

Rong Yi used the props to approach the mother insect. Compared to her enormous body, she looked like a small insect.

Seeing Rong Yi approach, the mother insect stopped moving forward.

"If I remember correctly, the queen insect in the ferocious insects is called Kata, right?"

Rong Yi only remembered this name after seeing it.

The ferocious insects throughout the city fell silent, and Rong Yi could even hear the cracking sound of the mother insect's body rising and falling.

"Rong Yi, my clan's mortal enemy."

The sound was very clear, with varying pitches.

Rong Yi raised an eyebrow. "Your mortal enemies? Where have I seen you before?"

The queen insect raised her head and slowly approached her, saying, "Slaughter every branch of my race; kill them on sight."

A branch of the ethnic group? Was she this fierce before?

The mother insect continued, "You have caused my race to lose a genetically diverse population."

Rong Yi's pupils constricted as memories flashed through his mind.

The saber-like insects have many lineages, and each lineage will merge at fixed times to mate with each other, thus producing offspring with more complete genes.

She...it seems, on some planet, wiped out all the ferocious insects that had invaded the planet.

That planet was more than five times the size of this planet.

Her memory was once again fixed on the terrifying insect that resembled a towering mountain.

Rong Yi slowly opened his eyes, which had been closed due to the flashback in his memory, a vivid red flowing within them. "Yin Kekata, that's its name."

Rong Yi's expression changed, from bewilderment at his ignorance to disdainful contempt.
