Chapter 69 White Eye Flower
“There’s a small village by the lake.”
Lins climbed on a high branch.
"The male is over there."
Lins used the declarative sentence because he had seen the commotion outside the village.
There were many female insects gathered outside the village. The reason why Lins could see them from such a distance was due to their huge size at the moment.
The insects, with their bony wings spread and their bodies half reverted to their ancestral form, fought fiercely. From time to time, female insects were thrown into the lake, splashing huge water.
Ouch, the fight was so intense, it’s a pity to ruin the beautiful scenery with clear sky, singing birds and blooming flowers.
"What are they fighting about? It's impossible that the kidnappers said that only the strongest female insect can save the male insect." Lins regretted making Rex angry and leave. When he was not there, there was no one to take up the conversation.
Ashley is another person who can't be beaten to death.
Lins turned around and saw Ashley staring into the distance with a frown on his face. After a moment, the red mark on his face gradually widened, and he showed signs of opening his eyes.
Wow, you are quite nosy. You even open your eyes a few more times to add some light.
This thought flashed through his mind, and the next moment Lins suddenly jumped up. The spider silk stuck to the top of the tree trunk and pulled him to a high place.
The trees behind Lins collapsed with a loud bang.
"Senior, why didn't you say hello in advance?" He lazily reprimanded, but his amber eyes were surprisingly bright.
He has been wanting to have a good fight with Ashley for a long time!
However, Ashley's condition was obviously not right. They had been together since early morning until now. Although Ashley had a bad temper, he was not the kind of person who liked to stir up trouble.
On the contrary, he was very quiet most of the time.
Such a sudden attack is not in line with Ashley's character.
Ashley's eyes fully opened.
The scarlet eyes seemed to be congealed with blood, filled with murderous intent.
Lins was so excited that he jumped down from a high place and kicked Ashley in the face with his long legs.
Ashley moved so quickly that he almost became an afterimage.
The soft spider silk turned into a throat-cutting sword. A flash of silver light passed by, and a clump of hair that flew up when Lins tilted his head was cut off.
He smacked his lips in regret, and when he saw that Ashley's lower body was still his legs, he smiled and said, "Senior, look at your legs."
Before Lins finished speaking, Ashley's eight legs suddenly appeared, and their lethality was much greater than that of two legs.
The huge rock where Lins landed collided with Ashley's slender feet, making a clanging sound. Lins jumped up suddenly and saw that the huge rock had been smashed to pieces.
The sparks disappeared in the air after a while.
Lins whistled.
He ducked to avoid the spider silk shot by Ashley, rushed forward quickly, and appeared behind Ashley.
The fiery red hourglass-shaped spots on the huge spider's abdomen are particularly eye-catching.
Lins reached out and touched it.
Ashley turned around and killed——
Scarlet eyes approached.
The next moment, the suppression ring on Ashley's neck flashed red and emitted a sharp buzzing sound.
Ashley's hand, which was about to strangle Lins' neck, suddenly withdrew and grabbed the restraint ring on his neck with his backhand.
He tore with all his might, and veins popped out on his forehead.
"ah--"
The electric shock from the suppression ring was still effective, and the dazzling red light left a horrifying black and purple electric shock mark on Ashley's neck.
The more he resisted, the more severe the shock became.
Lins suspected that the suppression ring contained a lethal drug. He immediately stepped forward, turned around and sat astride Ashley, clasped Ashley's hands tightly with both hands, and pressed them to the ground.
"Senior, I'm going to offend you."
He spoke softly, his fangs that had already grown out and were clasped on his lower lip were particularly eye-catching.
Lins held Ashley's struggling hands tightly with both hands. To some extent, Lins was grateful for the restraining ring, otherwise with his current physical condition, he might not be able to hold down Ashley.
He leaned forward, his sharp canine teeth piercing into his collarbone, and a fishy-sweet smell instantly filled his mouth.
The venom of the interspotted spider is not lethal to its own kind, but it can certainly cause coma.
The red marks on Ashley's face had completely closed, only a pair of eyes were still staring at him steadily.
"Oh, I'm embarrassed to be looked at like that." Lins pretended to be shy. He reached out to cover Ashley's eyes and said, "Go to sleep."
When he raised his hand again, Ashley was unconscious.
Lins looked up and said, "Come out, since you're here, you can't make this trip in vain, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, five or six Zergs armed with live ammunition appeared in the jungle. They all wore special respirators, which further confirmed Lins's suspicion.
The faint floral scent in the air is poisonous.
"You are okay?" said the leading Zerg, holding a square machine in his hand.
Well, Lins is quite familiar with this thing. The "dog ring" he wore around his neck when he was a sentry also had such a controller.
Press the button and the suppression ring will activate the self-destruct program - directly destroying this crazy sentinel, this crazy female insect.
"Instructor Yang Li?" Lins recognized the newcomer's voice. "Can this flower accelerate the frenzy of an insect's spiritual sea?"
Lins thought of the group of female insects fighting by the lake.
He said, even if these female insects are stupid, they can’t be so stupid.
It turns out that the problem is with this flower.
"I'm weak and can't revert to my ancestral form." Lins spread his hands to show his innocence.
Yang Li looked at him seriously. It was obvious that Ashley, who was lying under Lins, had no way of proving the word "weak" that he mentioned.
But he believed that Lins really had no way to revert to his ancestors.
The white-eyed flower, which is unique to this desolate planet, releases a fragrance during its flowering period that will accelerate the frenzy of the female insects' spiritual sea, and all female insects will regress to their ancestral state in the fragrance of the flower.
"Genetic defect?" Yang Li asked.
"That's right." Lins nodded. "Luckily I'm not a winged insect. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to use my wings, which would be a huge loss."
Yang Li was surprised by his nonchalant attitude. Atavism was a very important ability for female insects. A female insect that couldn't atavism was practically disabled.
Fortunately, Lins is quite strong, and he can still use spider silk and fangs.
Yang Li stopped chatting with Lins and said seriously, "Leave Ashley to us. He can't stay in school in this state."
Lins raised his eyelids and said, "No, you've taken my teammates away. My points are half as much."
"This is unfair and shady."
"Lins, Ashley is dangerous. I'm taking him away because I'm being responsible to the students," Yang said sternly.
"If you really want to be responsible for your students, you won't be walking around with something that could kill them."
“…”
"Oh, Instructor Yang, you see, I am also a spotted spider. My poison is a powerful sleeping pill for Senior Ashley. If he gets into trouble again, I can just take him down again." Lins put a smile on his face again, as if the flash of coldness just now had never appeared.
"Maybe I'm a top student. If you take Senior Ashley away, how can I curry favor with him? No, how can I get into Class A?"
"He also cherishes the opportunity given to him by the school, doesn't he?" Lins changed the subject and showed the restraint ring on Ashley's neck. Ashley couldn't wear this thing if he didn't want to.
Since he is willing to give up some of his freedom, he must want to return to school.
In other words, he wanted to live a normal life.
Lins remembered the original world line mentioned by the system. Ashley was constantly suppressed and excluded. Later, because of the neck ring he voluntarily wore, he was sent to the laboratory and forced to undergo experiments. Finally, he was hooked up by the rebels and completely betrayed the empire.
Since he wanted to change Ashley's fate, he would definitely not let Ashley leave the campus early.
"I will keep monitoring the situation." Yang Li finally backed down. He understood what Principal Bai meant. It would be best if Ashley could stay in school.
This is an S+ grade knife.
No one wants to give up.
And now it seems Ashley has a... friend.
Things have improved.
"Hey, Instructor Yang, you know, Senior Ashley has never been able to resist this white-eyed flower since he was a child..." Lins laughed and then raised his finger to point to his face.
"20 points."
"make a deal."
Lins answered readily, then raised Ashley's right hand. Seeing Yang Li standing still, he urged, "Hurry up."
"..." Yang Li paused, "I thought you would buy it for Ashley."
Lins blinked. "Instructor, I gained immunity to the White Eye Flower through my congenital genetic defect. Wouldn't it be stupid of me to spend another 20 points on a gas mask?"
Yang Li was speechless.
He quickly threw the extra gas mask to Lins and then retreated with his team.
Lins put the gas mask on Ashley's face.
He even touched the red marks on Ashley's face a few more times.
Hmm...it feels flat and you can't really tell there's an eye inside.
He was about to press the skin on both sides of the red mark to see if he could pull it open, but he saw Ashley's eyelids move slightly.
This almost scared Lins to death.
He silently withdrew his hand, then reached out to straighten the straps of Ashley's gas mask.
I'll just have to dig it up next time.
He thought with some regret.
Sure enough, two seconds later, Ashley opened his eyes.
A rare look of confusion appeared in his scarlet eyes. Although it was only for a moment, the next second, Ashley's right hand reflexively pressed down on Lins.
"Hey, Senior, I'm your lifesaver!"
Lins screamed, "Why are you repaying kindness with hatred right away?"
Ashley took a moment to react before sitting up.
He reached out and touched the gas mask on his face.
Lins explained with a smile: "The instructors sent it to me. It can filter the fragrance of the white-eyed flower."
He pointed at himself again: "I don't need it. I can't regress. I never thought that my shortcomings could one day become advantages. No wonder they say oranges grow south of the Huai River."
"Thank you." Ashley said suddenly.
Lins was a little surprised: "Oh, I thought you would only say thank you to me. After all, senior is very frugal with words."
Ashley didn't reply, and his way of expressing his gratitude was extremely rude.
He raised his hand and transferred all his points to Lins.
"Also in the back."
Lins automatically added to his next words.
"Give me the back too? Then I'll have to order a roast chicken for dinner."
But when it got dark, Lins didn't order the roast chicken.
Lins's principle of action has always been to kill him while he is ill.
"Senior, how much time do you think those freshmen have left?"
Lins asked, his eyes sparkling.
Ashley has stood up, using actions instead of words.
Since you can’t use up points first, just use up some time value first.
The two people shuttled among a group of atavistic female insects as if they were in an empty space.
After all, he was a freshman, so his fighting ability was average. Even after his mind went berserk, he still had no brains. He couldn't see the two humanoids at all, and instead focused on the most beautiful female insect.
What a terrible courtship, what a terrible competition.
Ashley was responsible for knocking him out, while Lins was behind to remove the name tags.
After a while, the time value obtained by the two of them began to rise rapidly. If more female insects came, Lins suspected that they could survive to the end without completing other tasks and relying on this alone.
However, to prevent the freshmen from killing each other, the rules clearly stated that killing a freshman would only earn half the opponent's time value, and no points would be earned from the opponent. These female insects were like fools, unable to communicate at all, and there was no way to "trade" points with them.
At this moment, a group of female insects wearing gas masks walked out of the town. Among the tall female insects, there was an incongruous dent.
Lins's men kept moving while simultaneously focusing their attention. The other atavistic female insects stopped moving as if they had been paused.
They all looked towards the depression.
Sure enough, the small one protected in the middle was the insectoid - the male insect.
The male insect was petite and had a delicate face. He had a pair of sky-blue eyes and golden curly hair. He wore a complicated lace shirt, breeches, and a pair of shiny leather shoes as he stepped on the specially laid velvet carpet.
In Lins's impression, his appearance and attire resembled that of an androgynous young girl. However, he looked quite young, and it was perfectly normal for a male insect to dress like that in this world.
The male insect's eyes flashed across Ashley, then fell on Lins for a long time.
Following the male insect's movements, the other female insects wearing gas masks also stopped their gazes on Lins.
"I knew there would be a female insect capable of withstanding the White-Eye Flower!" the male's sky-blue eyes gleamed. "He's still maintaining his perfect human form. How graceful!"
The scent of white-eye flower is similar to the pheromones emitted by male insects during the erotic period. It can stimulate the courtship instinct of female insects, but it does not have the soothing effect of pheromones.
"That's him!" The male insect pointed at Lins, "I want him to escort me!"
Lins felt the gazes falling on him become sharper.
One by one, like needles.
They all want to replace it.
The only difference was the look Ashley gave him. He was asking Lins: Do you want points?
It seems that the method of quietly hiding until the end and then intercepting the enemy will not work.
Lins was fully aware that he had attracted 99% of the firepower present. If he refused at this moment, he would surely be torn to pieces by these enraged female insects.
He bowed gracefully: "Will you come with me, Mr. Male Insect?"
A hint of joy flashed in his sky-blue eyes.
The next second, the spider silk that shot out from Lins' fingertips stuck to the male insect's waist. Lins held it with one hand and whispered to the male insect, "But I need your cooperation for the next journey."
The male insect covered the exclamation that was about to come out of his mouth and nodded shyly.
"Senior Ashley, I'm leaving this to you!"
Lins shouted loudly, holding the male insect in one hand and running into the dense forest.
By the lake, a figure stood in front of the senior students.
"What the hell, Ashley!"
"We fight him, and the others go after the male insects!"
