Li Yi cleared his throat and changed the subject, saying, "Alright, now that we've dealt with these silver mist mayflies, can we go into the insect hive?"

Yun Rou glanced in the direction of the nest and nodded: "It will take a long time for the Queen Insect to produce a large number of Silver Mist Mayflies again, now is our chance!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in," Colin said.

The group ran towards headquarters.

Silvery slime dripped from the headquarters' main gate. Although the interior layout was similar to that in reality, silver threads and secretions were piled up everywhere.

Upon entering the headquarters, everyone felt somewhat disoriented, as if the scene before them was constantly changing.

Yun Rou said seriously, "The inside of the Silver Mist Mayfly's nest is full of the Silver Mist Mayfly's secretions, so be careful in here and watch out for hallucinations."

The crowd nodded warily.

Lu Ning stood at the front to clear the way, and the others followed behind him.

They searched layer by layer but found no trace of the queen insect.

Even the Silver Mist Mayflies were gone, since they had all rushed out and been killed by Lu Ning.

The group then went to the basement.

The entrance to the basement had been widened considerably, and the area below was filled with secretions.

As soon as I entered the basement, a small swarm of insects flew over.

These insects were much larger than the ones that flew out before, each about the size of a fist.

Yanfeng immediately condensed flames and threw them into the swarm of insects.

A deafening roar erupted as flames engulfed the insects.

However, this attack only killed less than half of the insects; the rest remained unharmed.

Yan Feng frowned, then threw out several more fireballs.

Only then were all the insects killed.

The larger silver mist mayflies are probably all at the third or even fourth tier in strength.

It's much stronger than the Silver Mist Mayflies that were previously on the outer perimeter.

The silver mist mayflies on the outer perimeter were probably barely considered to be of the first rank.

As they ventured deeper, several more groups of giant silver mayflies appeared.

The individual strength of these silver mist mayflies is roughly at the fourth rank.

Faced with the attacks of the crowd, they were quickly all killed.

Soon, they arrived at a spacious underground cavern.

Thick, silvery mucus flowed across the floor and walls of this underground cavern, and in the central area, a giant silver mist mayfly, about three meters long and two meters tall, lay prostrate.

This silver mist mayfly was surrounded by flowing silver mist, radiating a rather rich spiritual power.

The moment the silver mist mayfly appeared, it caused Li Yihang and the others to momentarily lose their senses.

“Ying’er…” Bai Jingming stepped forward, tears welling up in his eyes.

Li Yihang looked shocked: "Director Wang, what are you doing here?"

Others reacted differently, but they were all clearly hallucinating.

Just then, a dreamlike quality appeared in Yun Rou's eyes, and she whispered, "It's all an illusion, all of this is an illusion, wake up."

As soon as Yun Rou finished speaking, everyone perked up, and their previously confused eyes immediately cleared.

They found themselves walking towards the enormous, silvery mayfly mother.

The queen insect opened her large mouth, which was covered in silvery mucus.

Yun Rou said with a solemn expression, "This insect queen has probably reached the sixth rank, or even the seventh rank. Be careful and don't be fooled by illusions."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sword light wreathed in white flames burst forth and slashed towards the insect queen.

Before the mother insect could even react, she was sliced ​​in two. Mucus flowed from her wounds as her body slowly separated.

After Lu Ning unleashed his first strike, he continued to unleash several more sword beams, splitting the insect queen into several pieces.

The insect mother's corpse then turned into silver mist and dissipated.

Yun Rou and the others on the side glanced at Lu Ning, whose bone blade on his arm had recovered, with some strangeness.

If they were to do it themselves, it would probably take a considerable amount of effort to deal with such a queen insect.

For Lu Ning, it was just a casual thing to do.

Colin couldn't help but exclaim, "Lu Ning, your strength has improved too fast!"

Yan Feng sighed, "When we first met, you had just awakened..."

As the group sighed in dismay, the death of the insect queen, which turned into silver mist, caused cracks to reappear in the air.

Silvery viscous fluid oozed from the crack.

As the cracks appeared, the entire base city trembled once again.

Then, very quickly, everyone realized that something was wrong.

The two previous instances of cracks occurred, and the tremors in the base city only lasted for a few seconds.

This time, the vibration has lasted for more than ten seconds and has not stopped.

They even saw the cracks gradually widening and spreading upwards towards the basement.

Li Yi frowned, his face grim, and asked, "Yun Rou, what's going on?"

Yun Rou also had a serious expression and said, "Let's go out and take a look. I don't know either."

Everyone immediately ran out of the basement.

When they rushed out of the headquarters and arrived at the square, they were somewhat surprised to find that cracks were also spreading in the other two node directions.

As the cracks spread, a silvery light flashed.

Silver light flashed from the three cracks, shot into the sky, and converged above the base city.

Then they saw that the thick silver fog that was originally high in the sky seemed to have been activated.

The face in the thick fog contorted and opened its mouth to let out a shriek.

The silver mist began to slowly press down.

Seeing this, Colin and the others felt their scalps tingle.
