Chapter 619 Golden-Patterned Void Insect Not long after, Rein and his companion arrived at the second nest where they had stolen the insect's nest a few days earlier.
Just like the first nest, the sea was silent, the surface of the sea as calm as a mirror, reflecting the azure sky.
Renn gave Lucifer a look, and Lucifer understood immediately, conjuring a jet-black longsword in his hand.
As the longsword swept down from above, a jet-black sword light shot out from it, instantly creating a spatial rift in the distance.
The next moment, countless Void Worms poured out from the spatial rift and headed straight for Rein and his companion.
Raine waved his hand and released the Void Worms from the secret realm, letting the swarm devour each other.
Because Raine had a large number of Void Worms, including many that were about to evolve into Silver-striped Void Worms, the combat strength of the two swarms was extremely disparate.
Raine's Voidworms were almost overwhelmingly devouring the other Voidworms.
Raine stood aside and watched quietly, observing how many Void Worms had pale silver patterns on their backs.
After the battle ended and the Void Worms at this location were completely devoured, Raine noticed something and pointed a finger at the swarm of Void Worms hovering in front of him.
A Void Worm with bright silver markings flew onto Renn's finger and settled quietly.
This Void Worm is different from the others; it is twice the size of the others, about the size of Renn's little finger, and the bright silver stripes on its back shimmer in the sunlight.
"It actually evolved!? That was fast! Is it because you're special?" Renn stared at the silver-patterned Void Worm on his finger.
Raine retracted his finger, and the Silver-Striped Void Worm flew back to the swarm from his finger, showing signs of becoming the leader of the Void Worm swarm.
Without thinking too much, Raine said, "Let's go, next insect hive."
Lucifer nodded and led the way again.
The two transformed into two streaks of light and flew towards the third insect nest.
But when the two arrived at the third lair, the scene before them surprised Renn.
Because after Raine shattered the space around here, no Void Worms appeared.
Even after Renn explored the entire surrounding space, he still found nothing.
"Is the position wrong?" Looking at the quiet space around him, Renn turned to look at Lucifer.
Lucifer shook his head, quite certain.
"No, Master, this is it. I can feel the shadowy aura left behind from my battle with these Void Worms."
Renn frowned. Where did those Voidworms go? Did they know their hive had been stolen and moved to a different location?
Raine took out the scales that the giant tortoise had given him and handed them to Lucifer, saying...
"Forget about this Void Worm for now, let's find other locations first. Lucifer, you plan the route."
Lucifer took the scale, nodded, and after examining the location marked on it, flew in front of Renn to lead the way.
...
evening.
The orange-red sun slowly sank, leaving half its head on the horizon.
The setting sun dyed the azure sea red, and the glow of the sunset was reflected on the sea surface.
After dealing with one of the insect nests, Raine and his companion quietly watched the sunset on the horizon.
Raine put away the few remaining Void Worms in his hand and said to Lucifer.
"Let's stop here for now. We'll do a second cleaning after I hatch the Void Worms from the insect nests I got today."
"Understood." Lucifer smiled and nodded, storing the scales into his magical artifact.
With a wave of his hand, the two disappeared into the sky above the Sea of Desolation.
Alchemy Realm.
Raine began constructing the crimson magic circle again, preparing to hatch all twelve insect hives harvested today to replenish his Voidworm army.
Having learned from his first attempt, Raine successfully constructed the magic circle on his first try and began infecting the insect hive.
By the next morning, all the insect eggs in the twelve nests had hatched.
Hundreds of thousands of Void Worm larvae swirled around Renn, resembling a black storm.
After exchanging a large number of space crystals for the Void Worms to devour, Raine left the Alchemy Realm.
Back in the Witch's Secret Palace, Raine lay in his rocking chair and asked Isa.
“Isa, don’t you find it strange? There wasn’t a single Silver-striped Void Worm in the twelve insect nests we cleaned up today.”
"Logically speaking, there should be at least a few of these Void Worms that have been developing in this space for so long, right?"
Isa said, "Master, you must know that Void Worms are Void creatures. You must think about their behavior according to the habits of Void creatures."
“In the void, resources are extremely scarce. Not to mention the spatial crystals you gave them, even ordinary spatial energy is very rare.”
"Therefore, under conditions of limited resources, the Void Gap Zerg can only devour each other, which is why they can evolve by devouring their own kind."
"Now that we are in the Sea of Annihilation, the spatial energy is extremely abundant, so there is no need for them to devour each other, which is why there are not a single Silver-Striped Void Worm."
After hearing Isa's explanation, Ryan suddenly understood; so that's how it is.
...
One month later.
Lucifer led Renn to the last few insect nest locations marked on the scales.
After Renn's Void Worms effortlessly devoured all the Void Worms in the hive, Renn inquired.
How many are left?
Lucifer said, "There are four left."
Renn nodded, looking up at the swarm of insects overhead, and said, "Little Armor."
The next moment, a Void Worm the size of an apple flew down from the sky and landed on Renn's hand, its compound eyes quietly watching him.
Xiao Jia was the first Void Worm to evolve into a Silver-Striped Void Worm in the original Renn Void Worm swarm. Now, it has surpassed its peers and become the first Gold-Striped Void Worm in Renn's hands!
Because the slit worm looks very similar to a beetle, Raine named it Little Beetle.
At this moment, Xiao Jia was already exuding a faint aura of the eighth rank.
However, although Xiao Jia's level has been promoted to the eighth rank, there is still a big gap between his strength and that of a true eighth-rank demigod.
If it were to fight Lucifer, Lucifer could turn Xiao Jia into a puppet in just a few moves.
After all, Void Swarms usually win by sheer numbers. Unless Xiaojia can advance to become a Void Swarm King, then its individual strength will truly undergo a qualitative change.
Seeing the little armor staring at him, Renn threw out a spatial crystal. The little armor instantly appeared and swallowed the spatial crystal that Renn threw out.
"Let's go back to the giant tortoise first; the rest can wait."
Raine retracted the swarm of Void Worms that were flying all over the sky and flew towards the location of the giant tortoise with Lucifer.
