Chapter 150 A "Guest" from Another Realm
Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing killed over four hundred ferocious insects in one move. This number was not large for them, but it was a considerable number for the official team that came to carry out the mission.
Among them, more than two hundred ferocious insects were covered in black shells. If they were fully formed sub-insects, ordinary bullets could not penetrate them at all.
Rong Yi wasn't in a hurry to deal with the insect corpses. "I wonder if there's anything I'm looking for inside this meteorite." She turned to Wei Yanqing and said, "Set up a barrier around the meteorite. I'm going to cut it open to find something."
Wei Yanqing did as she asked.
Rong Yi used a dagger to cut the meteorite; the hard meteorite was easily sliced open by the blade, just like tofu.
Her own defensive shield remained active. After cutting through one-third of the depth of the meteorite, some insect eggs were stimulated to hatch by the heat from the dagger, breaking through their eggshells and struggling to crawl out.
Some larvae tried to crawl onto Rong Yi, but were blocked by the protective shield.
Wei Yanqing, standing outside the barrier, saw the small red insects and manipulated them to move away before crushing them.
When they dissected to the center, besides the dense, disgusting red worm eggs, there was also a small cluster of white worm eggs underneath. "That's it."
Rong Yi reached out and pulled off the small clump of white insect eggs. These eggs did not look as fragile as the red insect eggs; on the contrary, they made a rustling sound when they collided with each other.
Wei Yanqing saw the white insect eggs and was a little confused. "Are these also the eggs of the Savage Insect?"
Do the different colors mean they have different functions?
Rong Yi tilted his head. "Hmm... well, not really. They were bred by ferocious insects."
Wei Yanqing was stunned. "These insects can be bred?"
Rong Yi put away the white insect eggs in a storage compartment specifically for live creatures. "The ferocious insects are intelligent social beings. When they reach a certain level, they are much smarter than humans, and of course, much more cruel."
She also collected the meteorite, and Wei Yanqing crushed all the larvae that had escaped, leaving not a single one behind.
The barrier was removed, and the two left. Since Ying Mengyun had come in, it meant that other players would be aware of the situation in the mountains. Leaving early would save them some trouble.
On the way back, they indeed encountered other player teams, quite a few of them, but Wei Yanqing sensed them in advance and avoided them.
After successfully descending the mountain, they retrieved their car and sped away.
Mount Jingtai connects two cities, and players from more than one city have entered the mountain.
When they found the helicopter wreckage, they only saw obvious signs of it being crushed in the middle.
One player, with a fierce expression, looked at the players who had arrived before them and said with absolute certainty, "You got the meteorite!"
The player on the other side rolled his eyes. "Get it my ass. It would be great if we actually got it. Someone beat us to it."
The other person was skeptical and almost attacked, but then the comments section revealed that the meteorite had been taken by two men named Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing, who then went down the mountain at a different time.
·
Knowing that the audience might expose their presence, Wei Yanqing deliberately drove away from Jingtai Mountain to avoid being chased by the players.
We drove all the way to the vicinity of the city center and found a parking lot to enter.
The underground parking lot was quiet, with many cars parked there, and it was free.
They parked in the corner. Wei Yanqing turned on the car's interior light, while Rong Yi took out a white insect egg. On the way, Wei Yanqing had been curious about the purpose of this insect egg, which made it worthwhile for her to dig up the meteorite to find it.
"Why breed these savage insects?" I wondered, busy driving on the road.
Rong Yi looked at the round insect egg in his palm and flicked it with the index finger of his other hand. "This is what the ferocious insects use as food."
Wei Yanqing: "?"
Rong Yi looked up at him, his eyes full of doubt, and smiled, "This is a flesh worm bred by the Savage Insect Clan. It has no brain, only a feeding organ. It can digest the food it is fed and convert it into energy. Moreover, it grows faster than the Savage Insects. Basically, once you feed it something, you can see it swell up like a balloon. Most importantly, it tastes especially good."
Wei Yanqing was silent for a few seconds before asking, "You've eaten?"
Now it was Rong Yi's turn to be puzzled. Right, she seemed so familiar with it, had she eaten it before? But he couldn't remember it at all.
"I think I ate them before I lost my memory. Anyway, seeing these white insect eggs makes me feel very hungry."
Since he didn't remember, Wei Yanqing didn't press him. "You're looking for these insect eggs because you want to hatch them and eat them."
Rong Yi nodded hastily, "That's right, they're very easy to raise and have a strong reproductive capacity. As long as there's one female insect in the eggs, they can continue to reproduce. The ferocious insect is quite good in this respect, as it can produce meat worms that taste delicious."
Wei Yanqing lowered her eyes and smiled lightly. Sometimes Rong Yi looked fierce, but sometimes the things he did were kind of cute.
"Can you tell me about the carnivorous insects?"
Rong Yi put away the insect eggs. "I don't know where the ferocious insects came from. I have no memory of them, but I know they are an invasive intelligent species. Environmental protection and energy recycling don't exist for them. The ferocious insects have only one goal: to eat everything they can and then produce many more species. Of course, the individuals must also be strong. Therefore, their larvae only need to eat once or twice to condense insect crystals. I don't know how they grow. The insect crystals are particularly rich in energy, so they have become the target of... many creatures."
As for which "many creatures" refers to, she apologized and couldn't remember.
At that moment, fragmented images flashed through her mind: in the sea of insects, she faced a mountain of ferocious insects, and finally dug out a red crystal with a diameter of nearly one meter.
"Rong Yi?"
Wei Yanqing's call brought her back to her senses. She breathed a sigh of relief. "It's nothing, just some fragments of memory flashed through my mind."
"Let's continue talking about the Savage Insects," Rong Yi continued. "Every part of the Savage Insect is useful, so don't waste the insect corpses. Insect crystals are very useful, and they are numerous. If you find a branch of the species and kill them all, you can make a small fortune..."
Rong Yi felt something was off at this point and gradually stopped talking.
Wei Yanqing's expression remained unchanged. "You're right. With so many insect crystals, we've certainly made a small fortune."
Rong Yi blinked. "Alright, what's certain is that if this branch of the race isn't wiped out on this planet, it will only be devoured. At that time, the ferocious insect swarm will gather together, disguise themselves as planetary fragments, leave this place, and reunite with the ferocious insects at the main camp. Then, the ferocious insects at the main camp will determine the location and release insect egg meteorites to move towards the target."
"I see. But since they're so useful, there must be quite a few people like the system who are eyeing their insect crystals."
Rong Yi nodded, "There are many, but the evolution of the ferocious insects to increase their strength is not just for show. The top-tier ones are quite difficult to deal with, but the others are alright."
After the introduction, she felt that she really understood the sabers and what had happened between her and the sabers in the past.
Wei Yanqing: "They're so strong, why breed meat worms? To improve the taste?"
Judging from Rong Yi's words, the ferocious insects are so powerful that their swarms devour an entire planet, so they must not be picky about what they eat.
