This person is able to make secondary changes to the insect people's genes, which is called gene mutation.

Through genetic mutation, the insects will completely break away from the control of their original owners at the genetic level and become another new type of insect.

…

Holding the information about the insect man Kongduo he was tracking in his hand, Lin Tao frowned.

"Secondary genetic change? Gene mutation?"

Lin Tao, who has some knowledge of biotechnology, has some understanding of this concept. Of course, it is limited to a few points because he has not conducted in-depth research in biology.

Especially after Zhe followed him around, many things were done by Zhe's hands.

This is of course very convenient for Lin Tao, but it also greatly increases Lin Tao's dependence on Zhe.

There is nothing we can do about this.

After all, Lin Tao is not a full-time talent and cannot take care of everything.

"Lin Tao, do you remember what method you used to deal with that insect man Hong Yun?"

As if hearing Lin Tao's mumbling, Zhuo Fan reminded.

Lin Tao came back to his senses, smiled and nodded. He naturally understood what Zhuo Fan was going to say.

Since the insects created by the insect man Hongyun are all clones based on his own genes, through Zhe's research and development, they produced a medicine specifically for Hongyun.

Generally speaking, it is a rather troublesome task to study the genes of insect-people because of the insects entering the body. The reason why it can be done so smoothly is also because of those replicating insects.

The underlying genes of these replicating insects are relatively simple, so it is very easy to find their weaknesses from point to surface, and thus completely kill them at the root.

If this were not the case, it would have been a protracted war of attrition for Lin Tao to face Hong Yun, even if he had the same strength as Abel Golly.

Bug people are different from ordinary bugs. They are powerful enemies that can utilize the telekinetic power of the bugs around them.

What's more, the insect that invaded Hongyun's body was an intelligent insect.

The intelligent insect is also a very special insect in the insect system. Its intelligence is even not inferior to that of ordinary humans, and it is very difficult to deal with.

"The bug that invaded Hongyun's body was an intelligent bug. If you hadn't found a way to deal with it based on those copied bugs, I'm afraid we would all have died on the spot." Zhuo Fan said with a sigh.

"Intelligent insect? Lin Tao, the Hong Yun you were dealing with at that time was a fifth-stage intelligent insect with the strength of a seventh-level telekinetic master?"

People in the outside world don't know much about the insect man Hong Yun. Even Abel Gaoli only found out at this moment that he was actually an intelligent insect.

Seeing Zhuo Fan nod, his expression changed slightly, and then he shook his head repeatedly and said: "If it is really an intelligent insect, I am afraid that even I would not dare to face it alone."

Lin Tao was stunned: "Senior Abel, didn't you kill a level 8, stage 5 insect man?"

Abel Gaoli smiled bitterly and said, "I was only dealing with an ordinary bug-infested bug-man. If it was also an intelligent bug, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand in front of you now."

"Are intelligent insects really that scary?" Lin Tao asked doubtfully. While asking, he secretly sent a message to Zhe, wanting to inquire about the information about the intelligent insects.

"Lin Tao, the information about intelligent insects is only available on the website of the Mind Energy Master Academy. However, if you want to redeem the information, you need at least one thousand insect extermination points." Zeng responded.

One thousand pest control points are needed to redeem the corresponding information?

Lin Tao's heart trembled.

After joining the Adventurer's Association and becoming an adventurer, Lin Tao also understood the importance of insect extermination points. Although he has now entered the Blackest Star Domain and successfully obtained 4,000 insect extermination points with the help of Abel Golly, if he was just an ordinary adventurer, in order to obtain these 4,000 insect extermination points, he would have to participate in at least two or three special missions where he would be in danger of death, and perhaps he would be able to get so many insect extermination points.

In other words, to get one thousand pest control points, one has to at least participate in a life-threatening mission.

That being said, not every adventurer will exchange the insect extermination points that can only be obtained after completing such a difficult mission for information.

Unless it is a critical technical document.

After his eyes flickered a few times, Lin Tao nodded: "Exchange it."

"Lin Tao, I can't exchange it now." Zhe sent a rather helpless message: "Abel is right next to you. If I control the watch, it is very likely to be discovered."

Lin Tao was stunned, then he quickly operated the watch himself, and under Zeng's instructions, he entered the Mind Master Academy and found information about the intelligent insect.

As expected.

This information is actually worth one thousand pest control points.

And there is a very obvious 'E' in the upper right corner of this document.

Seeing this 'E', Lin Tao froze in place, as if he couldn't believe it. He took another look, and after confirming that it was just an 'E', he quickly searched the website again.

Every piece of information on the website of the School of Mind Energy is divided into seven levels according to the importance of its content, and is graded by SS, SABCDE respectively, and the 'E' level is the lowest ordinary level.

A piece of information that was of no importance and was the most common 'E' grade was actually marked with 1,000 points for pest control? This shocked Lin Tao and made him feel strange.

There was not much time left, and in almost the blink of an eye, five pieces of information were searched out.

All of this information is related to intelligent insects, ranging from 'E' level to 'A' level. As for the information on 'S' level and 'SS' level intelligent insects, Lin Tao did not find it.

However, when Lin Tao saw the corresponding insect extermination points required for this information, he couldn't help but be shocked.

'E' grade is 1,000, 'D' grade is 10,000, 'C' grade is 100,000, 'B' grade is 1 million, and 'A' grade is 10 million.

"A new zero needs to be added behind each level." Lin Tao's pupils shrank and his heart beat violently.

What kind of information would require so many points? According to Lin Tao's understanding, 100,000 points for extermination could be exchanged for a space object, and millions or tens of millions were astronomical figures for an ordinary adventurer.

There is no doubt that after seeing these astronomical insect extermination points, Lin Tao believes that after the 'A' level information, there is definitely 'S' level and 'SS' level related intelligent insect information. It's just that information of that level is no longer information that can be known by outside adventurers.

Perhaps, even among the great wise men, there may not be many who can master the information of intelligent insects above 'S' level.

Lin Tao thought in his heart.

It seemed like a long time since Lin Tao connected to the website of the Mind Energy Master College, but in fact it was just a blink of an eye. Inside the light curtain of the cabin door, Zhuo Fan and the other person were still discussing.

"Lin Tao, perhaps you haven't formally come into contact with intelligent insects, so you don't know how terrifying they are."

Abel Gaoli seemed to have come into contact with intelligent insects. After he took over the conversation, he sighed and said, "I once followed the great wise man Nong Yisheng and fought against an eighth-level insect man with an intelligent insect in his body. In that battle, we dispatched more than a hundred eighth-level telekinetic masters, but in the end, only twenty of them survived."

Hiss! Hearing this result, Lin Tao, who had regained his composure, was also shocked.

To deal with an eighth-level intelligent insect man, under the premise of being led by a great wise man, more than a hundred eighth-level mind energy masters only had less than twenty people left? How strong is that intelligent insect man?

Lin Tao's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought of Hong Yun again. Thinking of the huge cloud of fire and thunder that was condensed by Hong Yun when he gathered the replicating insects, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

After all, if it weren't for Zhe's help, the few of them alone would probably not be a match for Hong Yun.

It can be imagined that with that kind of strength, even the entire Black Dragon Mountain Universe Kingdom might be destroyed by Hong Yun alone.

"Are you scared now?" Seeing Lin Tao's eyes, Zhuo Fan on the side couldn't help but joked. Although this was the case, after he finished speaking, he also sighed deeply.

"At that time, I also speculated that this would be an intelligent insect, but I only thought it was an ordinary intelligent insect, so I let you take the risk. But I didn't expect that the intelligent insect that invaded Hongyun's body was actually a high-level intelligent insect. After learning that it disappeared, I was terrified."

As Zhuo Fan was speaking, Lin Tao had already exchanged the information of the 'E' level intelligent insect without hesitation.

Of course, if possible, Lin Tao also planned to exchange for more advanced intelligent insect information, but when he saw the long string of '0's after the '1', he was speechless.

"Are those wise men crazy? They set the insect extermination points so high. Don't they want adventurers to have a complete understanding of the intelligent insects?" Lin Tao complained in his heart.

Due to the special status of the great sage, Lin Tao could not speak out loud, but he could still criticize a few words in his heart.

After taking a quick look at the information, Lin Tao understood what Zhuo Fan said. Intelligent insects are also divided into levels, and this level is determined by the level of the insect.

Even so, even the lowest-level intelligent insect has a strength about ten times that of insects of the same level.

In other words, even if they were to face a low-level intelligent insect, they would have to mobilize nearly ten times the number of adventurers.

Thinking of Zhuo Fan's decision at that time, Lin Tao's brows twitched, because the number of adventurers they sent out at that time was too small. Even if there was no intelligent insect in Hong Yun's body, they would have to send out at least twenty people.

"No wonder Zhuo Chengyan has never let Zhuo Fan increase his strength. I guess when this guy becomes stronger, he will definitely become complacent. By then, he may even die at the hands of the insect people."

Lin Tao glanced at Zhuo Fan from the corner of his eyes and shook his head in his heart.

Not to mention anything else, if Lin Tao made the decision, once he deduced that there was most likely an intelligent insect inside Hong Yun's body, he would definitely add a certain number of adventurers to prevent mistakes.
