"What did you find?" Yun Luo had to admit that he was indeed a little curious. Something that was worth Yan Su saying this about must not be a trivial matter. If it was something he could see normally, he would definitely not say such a thing.
Just as Yan Su understood Yun Luo, after being together for so long, Yun Luo also had a certain understanding of Yan Su. Many things that seemed big to others were nothing in Yan Su's eyes. Because of this, Yun Luo guessed that Yan Su's background must be extraordinary.
It wasn't that Yan Su was deceiving him, but beneath his current identity, there must be another one. Yan Su simply wouldn't reveal it, and Yun Luo didn't ask. Yun Luo knew that if he asked now, Yan Su would definitely tell him, but he inexplicably felt reluctant to ask. Besides, in Yun Luo's opinion, as long as the other person wasn't the legitimate top who ended up with the protagonist, it didn't matter if it was anyone else.
Since 007 didn't say that Yan Su had any connection with the protagonist, he probably wasn't a member of the protagonist's harem. In that case, Yun Luo didn't care what other identities Yan Su had.
"Young boss, do you remember that underground experimental base we visited earlier? Seriously, it's related to that base. To get to the bottom of it, my people haven't been relaxing their inspection efforts lately. Coincidentally, they made a new discovery not far from the base."
Yan Su didn't directly say what they found, but kept it a secret: "Young boss, why don't you take a guess, what did they find?"
"For you to say that, it must be something very novel," Yun Luo pondered for a moment, "otherwise you wouldn't have come to tell me specifically. I guess it's related to the little kingworm?"
"As expected of you, you're the boss. You and I are so in tune with each other," Yan Su deliberately leaned close to Yun Luo's face and kissed him. "That's right. Haven't you always been curious about the differences between the Overlord and other Zerg, especially their appearance? Maybe this time I can answer your questions."
"If you think about it carefully, the only thing related to the underground experimental base and the thing I asked you to tell me is the thing related to the little king worm. Not only do I care about it, you must care about it too." Given how much Yan Su cares about the little king worm, Yun Luo doesn't believe that Yan Su doesn't care at all about this insect race that is different from other king worms.
Yun Luoke clearly remembered that some time ago, Yan Su borrowed the little king bug and said he wanted to show the video to the main researchers.
The little kingworm is now being raised by Yun Luo. Yun Luo will certainly not send it for experiments or anything like that just because of its specialness, but it is still okay to do some examinations on it without harming the little kingworm. He trusts Yan Su's character, and since it was someone from Yan Su's side who said they wanted to take a look, Yun Luo would not refuse.
After returning that day, the little king bug became even closer to Yan Su. From this, it can be seen that Yan Su did not do anything bad to the little king bug. Although the little king bug is ignorant and seems to know nothing, it can still feel whether others are good or bad to it, and whether they have malicious intentions towards it.
This is something that is ingrained in their bones, something they are born with. In this respect alone, they are the same as the Western dragons that Yun Luo knows.
In the East, dragons represent the "good" side, and humans even use insects as totems, praying for good weather and good harvests by offering sacrifices to dragons. But in the West, dragons represent "evil." As Yun Luo understood, although both were called "dragons," there were significant differences between the two, which could be seen simply from their appearance.
Yun Luo thought about it, and when he and Yan Su went to the place where the discovery was made, he took the little kingworm with him.
After a period of feeding, the little kingworm has grown a lot. It used to be able to crawl into Yun Luo's pocket to sleep, but now the pocket can no longer accommodate it.
Yun Luo raised his hand and fiddled with the wings of the little king bug, and the little king bug hugged his finger.
"At this rate of growth, we'll have to find a new place for it to live soon." Yan Su looked at the interaction between the man and the king insect, thoughtfully.
"Indeed, there are people coming and going in the manor, and it is a species that has never appeared before. It's okay when it's small, but it will definitely attract some people's attention when it grows up. No matter for the safety of both parties, we have to make preparations in advance." Yun Luo agreed with Yan Su's point of view.
The little king worm looks soft and cute now. After all, it is the first species in the world to look like this. There is no precedent to compare with. No one knows what the little king worm will become as it continues to grow.
Although he had never seen one, Yun Luo could easily imagine from other people's descriptions that the adult Western dragons were definitely not friendly.
The little king insect has become accustomed to Yun Luo and Yan Su ignoring it, and is having a lot of fun playing alone. With the nourishment of Yun Luo's spiritual power, its insect characteristics are becoming less and less, and it is getting closer and closer to the appearance of the Western dragon clan in Yun Luo's mind, unlike when it just broke out of the shell and wanted to avoid it.
It’s just that the scaled-down version of the Western dragon looks so cute no matter how you look at it, and it doesn’t look scary at all as rumored.
The base was located deep in a sparsely populated forest, and it took quite a while to get from the manor to the destination. They had set out in the morning, and it was almost noon when they arrived at their destination.
The tall mutant plants blocked some of the sunlight. Yun Luo and the others walked under the shade of the trees, and even at noon, they could not feel much sunlight.
The mutated plants were tall and strong, with small leaves half a person's length, swaying left and right with the wind. Some of them were hiding in the dark, their eyes fixed on Yun Luo and his group, looking for an opportunity to take advantage of.
The forests in the interstellar era are far more dangerous and terrifying than the jungles in Yun Luo's original world. None of those who can survive in the harsh competition are easy to deal with. They did not attack rashly, but were intimidated by the pressure released by Yan Su to avoid disturbing them.
But they did not give up. Successful hunters will often not let go of any prey that can be caught. Even if the prey looks difficult to catch, they will patiently lie in ambush in the dark and wait for an opportunity to attack.
"The strange beasts and mutated plants here seem to be more powerful than those in other places." Yun Luo spoke while holding the little king insect that was tired of flying.
"Yes, the lowest-level existences here are level six alien beasts, and the mutated plants are even higher than level seven, which are stronger than those in other places. When this place was discovered, Wei Ling did not bring people in immediately for safety reasons. Later, he made sufficient preparations before coming in. Even so, several of the people he brought in were injured." Yan Su walked beside Yun Luo, always vigilant.
What Yun Luo could feel, he could naturally feel as well. With so many eager eyes staring at him, it was hard to ignore them.
Wei Ling brought his men to follow the two of them. With the experience from last time, none of the people he brought this time were lower than level seven.
In addition to the sense of crisis coming from all directions, Yun Luo also felt something else. He could only feel it vaguely at the edge, but the closer he got to the center, the more obvious it became.
This place was actually some distance away from the underground base they had discovered before, and aircraft were completely unable to fly in. At the outermost area, they abandoned their aircraft and walked in on foot. The further they walked in, the more they felt a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.
The little king bug originally flew by itself, but the further it went in, the more difficult it became to fly. It almost fell off several times. In the end, Yun Luo couldn't bear it anymore and carried it away.
"Did you feel this pressure when you came here last time?" Yun Luo suddenly stopped and looked behind him.
Wei Ling and the others all looked unhappy. It was obvious that Yun Luo was not the only one affected. The little king insect was still curled up in his arms.
Nothing could be seen on Yan Su's expression, but Yun Luo was close to him and could feel that he was affected just like himself.
This kind of pressure was not actually the first time that Yun Luo encountered it. What surprised him was that he encountered it in this world. Even in his original world, after the Dharma Ending Age, he rarely felt such pressure.
Wei Ling shook his head firmly: "No, I am sure that we didn't encounter such resistance the last few times we came here."
"If they had encountered it, they would not have failed to inform me in advance." Yan Su knew the people he had personally trained very well. When Wei Ling reported to him, he only said that the strange beasts and mutated plants in this place were generally stronger than those in other places, and did not mention the strange pressure.
"And I've been here once before, and the situation I encountered today was completely different. Apart from those strange beasts that were secretly watching, I didn't encounter any other obstacles when I came here last time." Yan Su thought about it and was very sure of this.
If he had encountered this unknown pressure the last time he came, he would not have brought Yun Luo here before finding out the source of the unknown pressure. He was already the only ninth-level strongman in the empire. Even when facing the Insect King, he did not feel the same palpitations as he did now.
"What exactly did you discover here before? You can tell me now." Yun Luo touched the increasingly uneasy little king bug to comfort it. There was a vague answer in his mind. He might soon know the reason why the little king bug looked like this.
"It's a skeleton, a huge one. We're very close to the skeleton's location. The strange thing is, this skeleton doesn't belong to any of the exotic beasts recorded in the empire, not even a similar one."
Yan Su always felt that the source of the pressure was not this skeleton. They had come into close contact with the skeleton last time and did not find anything wrong.
Yun Luo looked around and all he could see were various huge mutant plants. Under the influence of some unknown nutrients, they had undergone unknown mutations. If Yun Luo's soul and body had not been more integrated, he would not have been able to feel it all at once. It was normal that Yan Su and the others could not find it.
"Master, do you want to keep going?"
Yan Su looked at Yun Luo. If he were alone, he would definitely go and find out what was going on, but since Yun Luo was there, he hesitated.
"Can you still hold on?" Yun Luo asked.
Wei Ling nodded. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, there was no problem in moving on.
"Then let's go forward. Now that we're here, I also want to see what kind of creature that skeleton belongs to." Yun Luo also had a guess that besides the skeleton, there should be something else here.
Yan Su had no objection to Yun Luo's decision. The group continued to move forward. The further they went, the harder it became to tell the direction. In the end, Yun Luo was almost leading the way.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, some faint blue light gradually appeared around him. Yun Luo stopped and was deeply shocked by the scene before him.
The author has something to say: The pain during menstruation is really terrible. I was woken up by the pain this morning_(：з」∠)_
