Chapter 87 The Insect King's imagination is too wild.
Bo Yiyan felt aggrieved, but he had to admit that the three of them, master and servants, were indeed far stronger than him.
The time it took to get there was reduced by more than half on the return trip; in just one hour, they arrived at the bronze gate.
Ye Tanji had been trying his best to control his excitement throughout the journey, to the point that he was sweating profusely.
Seeing the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Xi'er felt a deep respect for him: this mentally unstable palace master was really going all out to save time.
When it comes to serious matters, he goes all out and doesn't slack off at all.
Fortunately, this bronze door is not made of real bronze, but of lapis lazuli, a rare find, which is sturdy enough.
The runes drawn on it were also very powerful, and the insects inside were unable to break through the door.
Upon seeing the runes engraved on the door, Ye Tanji narrowed his eyes: Heh! I didn't expect this thing to have been left by an old acquaintance.
I just don't know why he left this door there.
That person is a guy who treats human life like dirt; he definitely couldn't have been acting out of kindness, trying to help Yun Yuan get on screen and defend against the Zerg's attack.
So, what was his purpose?
Ye Tanji was puzzled, but suddenly his gaze fell on Xi'er, and he immediately realized the truth!
That guy loved divination, but while his divinations were generally accurate, they always had slight deviations at crucial points.
Therefore, he actually predicted that Xi'er would come to this world through the spatial passage, so he set up this bronze gate to prevent her from entering this world.
Because that guy didn't want him to reunite with Xi'er. Ever since he awakened his past life memories ten thousand years ago, he has been dedicated to separating him and Xi'er.
Fortunately, his prediction was wrong. Although Xi'er failed to awaken the memories of the gods, she still had a benefactor by her side who helped her break through his bronze door.
Thinking of this, Ye Tanji almost wanted to roar to the sky: "Bastard! Even if you scheme and plot, you still can't stop Xi'er from reuniting with me!"
Xi'er tilted her head and stared for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what Ye Tanji, this mentally unstable guy, was thinking.
His face alternated between anger and boundless joy.
Sigh! The world of madmen is really hard to understand.
Ye Tanji finally regained his composure and put on a serious expression.
Okay, his so-called normal expression is just a blank face.
He formed hand seals and quickly broke through the runes on the bronze door.
The door was gently pushed open, and the people behind him saw that a dense swarm of insects was gathered in front of the bronze door.
They stacked themselves on top of each other, forming a high wall, seemingly trying to use their height advantage to climb over it.
However, the runes on the bronze door transformed into a chilling blue light, like an invisible wall that blocked their path.
Under the command of the insect king, the insects took turns spraying corrosive liquid at the blue light, and the originally thick blue light had become mottled with pits.
At this rate, it's estimated that the blue light will be completely destroyed in about two more hours.
"Fortunately, we arrived in time. Your Majesty, do you have a method to exterminate the insects?" Xi'er asked.
"Then, Xi'er, do you have any good ideas? Can you tell me?" Ye Tanji teased her intentionally.
Bo Yiyan clenched his fists, wishing he could smash them down on Ye Tanji's handsome face.
If he turned into a pig's head, his looks-obsessed Xiao Xi'er probably wouldn't even give him a second glance anymore, right?
"I remember Panda said that the Zerg seem to communicate using pheromones."
If the queen insect's pheromones can be disrupted, the male insects that mate with her will no longer be attracted to or controlled by her.
In this way, the number of insect kings can be reduced.
At the same time, interference with pheromones will also affect the insect queen's control over her insect offspring, disrupting their battle plans.
With a two-pronged approach, the Zerg army's offensive should crumble.
Xi'er's words shocked Ye Tanji. He had only meant to tease her, but he had already planned to use his self-created All-Heavens Starfall Array to deal with these insects.
This formation is extremely powerful; once it is formed, ten people can unleash the power of a hundred.
With this large formation, we can ignore the Zerg's numerical advantage and win with fewer troops.
Unexpectedly, Xi'er was able to find a different approach and solve the problem of the Zerg's super reproductive ability from the root.
Over the past ten thousand years, the reason why the Zerg have been able to devour one planet after another is because of their numerical advantage.
But it is precisely because of their high reproductive capacity that they have to actively invade other planets in order to survive.
If the "pheromones" that Xi'er mentioned can truly solve the problem of the Zerg breeding too much at its root, the Zerg King would probably be very happy, right?
After all, reproduction is an instinct etched into the lineage. Even though the Insect Queen may have a headache because she has too many subjects and it is difficult to raise them, she still has to succumb to the mating seasons one after another.
Once the queen insect enters its mating season, it will continuously mate with one strong male insect after another, thus producing countless offspring.
"Xi'er, tell me quickly, what exactly is this pheromone? And how do we interfere with it?" Ye Tanji excitedly grabbed Xi'er's hands, his face full of urgency.
"Huh? Well, I don't know. I only know that the Zerg secrete a pheromone, but only Panda-gege knows which part or organ secretes it." Xi'er shrugged.
Panda is an intelligent robot who has awakened self-awareness. He belongs to the mechanical race and has a memory chip, so he naturally knows a lot.
But she is a real human being; where would she find the leisure to memorize so much knowledge?
Ye Tanji couldn't help but laugh. This girl was just like before, curious about everything, but she always only knew the basics and was never willing to put in the effort to improve.
But it doesn't matter. Now that she has given the direction, the rest will naturally be handled by him.
As the person with the highest cultivation level in the Cloud Abyss Realm, Ye Tanji's abilities are naturally unfathomable. Although the Insect King is very strong, it can only be manipulated by him.
The only thing that troubled him was the fear that there would be many insect kings this time, and if he accidentally missed one or two, the insect race could spread all over their Cloud Abyss.
Xi'er saw Ye Tanji raise his hand, and a huge, sky-covering hand grasped at a large group of insects in the air, capturing an insect king that exuded a powerful aura from afar.
The enormous, goosebump-inducing insect body struggled futilely in the giant hand's palm, then was turned over and over by the giant hand.
The insect king was terrified, and uttered a hoarse voice: "God, if you want to kill me or torture me, can you at least give me a quick death? What exactly do you want from me? Please tell me!"
Seeing that the Insect King had taken the initiative, Ye Tanji said indifferently, "Hmph! It seems you're quite sensible. Then tell this Palace Master where exactly your pheromones are."
The Insect King twisted his body awkwardly and said, "Replying to the High God, my pheromones only work on the Insect Race and have no effect on the Human Race at all! If you have taken a fancy to me, you will still need to use your Human Race's aphrodisiac!"
"Cough cough cough cough!" Xi'er almost choked to death on her own saliva.
Bo Yiyan and Ye Tanji's two attendants were also trying their best to suppress their laughter, but their shoulders still couldn't help but tremble.
This insect king has such an amazing imagination!
