Qu Jian'er leaned against a small, dilapidated house surrounded by garbage, feeling as if she had returned to the pre-apocalyptic world and was scavenging for scraps.
She misses it dearly.
They didn't disturb the few spirits reminiscing.
Gan Xiaofeng and his friends surrounded a young girl, asking as they circled her, "Are you Xiao Xiaoling?"
The girl, only half a head shorter than Qu Jian'er, smiled sweetly after smelling the scents of Gan Xiaofeng and the other two.
Her expression froze.
Ling Xiao said with a serious face, "Now that you're called Ling Xiao, why have I gained power and grown stronger while you've all shrunk? Is this your mission? It seems it's time for me to take care of you!"
She's not stupid.
It was obvious to the three of them that Gan Feng treated Qu Jian'er, an ordinary human, differently.
She will unconditionally support the choices made by Gan Feng and the other two.
But that doesn't mean she wouldn't have doubts.
Gan Xiaofeng raised her little hand to interrupt, her childish voice carrying a seriousness unlike anything she'd ever shown before: "First, explain why you suddenly gained spiritual energy and suddenly grew up?"
Ling Xiao explained, "Oh, I picked up an egg and absorbed its spiritual energy."
Those present: "..." What kind of egg could have spiritual energy?
Even though it's a winding stream.
I never imagined that the spiritual energy came from an egg.
When they followed Lingxiao to the depths of the dilapidated house, they discovered that it was an egg taller than a person.
The surface of the gray egg is pitted and uneven, with undulating patterns that look like designs from a distance.
The live egg exudes danger.
Qu Jian'er hesitated and touched her chin.
She felt that the egg looked familiar; she thought she had seen it in the Star Atlas.
Ryan remarked, "It looks like an insect egg."
Those present: "..." Don't scare us!
Qu Jian'er flipped through the insectoid encyclopedia and saw a similar gray egg in the section for the insectoid king.
If the encyclopedia does not record any errors.
This egg is indeed an insect egg.
And it's an insect king egg.
only.
Once the Insect King is born.
They will be kept in all the Zerg's protected areas.
It's impossible for them to have fallen to this state.
and.
The insect kings possess the mindset of human infants. When faced with danger, they immediately summon lower-level insects to ensure their safety.
They could never possibly end up stranded outside.
It has now been taken back.
Unless the Zerg are too busy to help themselves.
But who would leave the Zerg so preoccupied with their own problems?
Internal strife?
But.
The Zerg are a race that prides itself on unity, with a clear hierarchical structure, and they are unlikely to split.
So what is the reason?
Could it be a human?
impossible.
Qu Jian'er dismissed this unrealistic idea.
If humans had this capability, they would have dominated the interstellar space long ago, and would certainly not be hiding from the Zerg.
so.
Why is this insect egg on a garbage planet?
I heard it was an insect egg.
Ling said with lingering fear, "I didn't know it was an insect egg, but I could sense the danger emanating from it. If it hatched, I would almost certainly die on the spot."
but.
Gan Feng and the others are not here.
Humans often come to the garbage planet to dump trash, and Ling Xiao and her friends need power to avoid being discovered every time.
Is it a matter of risking death to absorb spiritual energy, or facing the danger of being discovered by humans?
Ling Xiao chose the former without hesitation.
Nothing more.
Not all spirits are natural spirits.
Most of them are not offensive and can be easily killed by human firearms.
Once discovered.
It's better to die on the spot.
Abducting researchers would be the only real despair.
Over the years, many of their compatriots have been captured and studied by humans in this way.
Although Gan Feng and the others had shrunk and their memories were sometimes good and sometimes bad, they could completely understand why Ling Xiao did what she did.
They could have easily hidden in caves, living a life devoid of spiritual energy and devoid of life.
but.
Nobody wants to wait like this.
Fortunately.
They weren't late in returning.
Gan Feng wanted to discuss leaving quickly with Qu Jian'er when he saw her climb onto the egg.
Others avoid him like the plague.
Qu Jian'er, however, was tapping and banging on the insect eggs with a curious look, which startled everyone present.
Ryan had to admire her; in this world, probably only her teacher had the audacity to do something so outrageous.
Qu Jian'er looked serious, clearly not joking: "Such a big egg, can we eat it?"
Gan Feng: "..." As expected, I knew this would happen. Uh, why do I have these familiar feelings?
Regardless of what others think.
Qu Jian'er had already carried the eggs to the open space.
Since the acquisition of the Twin Nightmare Blades.
She hadn't used a frying pan in a long time.
at this time.
I used the frying pan with the magnifying charm to fry an egg, thus ending the life of a certain insect king.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break the shell, so she simply burned it.
The Nine Netherworld Flames appeared out of nowhere.
Start cooking around the gray egg.
Hei Dazhu reminded him, "Brother, what if we don't burn it to death and it holds a grudge against us instead?"
The Zerg are a fearless, charging race.
Once they receive orders from their superiors, they will ignore pain and annihilate their prey with an unusually cold-blooded attitude.
When the Zerg are near death, they will go into a berserk state, willing to sacrifice themselves to take down their enemies.
The reason Qu Jian'er didn't encounter the berserk insectoids was simply because she killed them before they went berserk.
Everyone present was reminded of the Insect King's grudge.
Just thinking about that feeling makes my scalp tingle.
Qu Jian'er, however, didn't take it to heart.
Qu Jian'er had already come up with a very tempting reason: "If the shell alone can exude spiritual energy, there must be even more inside. Don't you want to try it? Fortune favors the bold, and maybe you can even take human form."
