Chapter 181 A "Guest" from Another Region
Considering the price to pay for acquiring resources, Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing had already agreed in their hearts, seeing the official's attitude, but they still had to raise some issues.
Rong Yi: "Cooperation is fine. We'll provide the main force and you can provide support. We don't need the corpse of the mother insect that we killed, but I'll keep the insect crystals that I need. The rest are yours. Also, the reward must be paid in insect crystals. 100,000 is the price."
This isn't just about selling female insects; it involves a collaboration, and the two of them will definitely be the main force.
The officer nodded without hesitation, "Okay, we'll do our best to provide support for any points that need it."
Even at a huge cost, there is no other reason than that the mother insect is needed so desperately.
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Wei Yanqing asked, "So, where do you plan to deal with the queen insect?"
The officer said, "In fact, it's probably not just us who want to go to Bart Country. People from other countries should also be going. After all, two countries, including ours, have obtained the research on the Mother Worm, and the other surviving countries also want to win this battle."
Rong Yi remembered the name of this country; it was the first country to fall under the meteor shower, and also the first place where the location of the mother insect was first seen.
"When should we set off? Since there are people from other countries, we should set off as soon as possible and take it down sooner."
Judging from their nonchalant attitude, it was as if they weren't going to kill the heavily guarded mother insect, but rather to crush a few larvae.
"If we fail to reach an agreement with you in an hour, the dispatched team will set off immediately."
Seeing the official's determination, Rong Yi nodded, "Then let's go now, as long as you're all ready."

On the plane, the team members carrying out the mission sat upright with their backs straight, their eyes occasionally glancing at the two people sitting opposite them.
In contrast to their fully armed state, the two people opposite them seemed like bored office workers looking around on their way to work, showing no signs of tension whatsoever, and instead displaying indifferent expressions.
The cabin was noisy, so they had to suppress their doubts.
Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing joined the team suddenly before they set off, without the team members receiving any prior notice.
They landed in a relatively open area on the border of the Bart Kingdom.
Almost two months after the meteor shower event, the country of Bart, as the first place to fall, had its people, animals, plants, and even shallow minerals devoured by the ferocious insects.
Given that the mother insect requires a large number of guards, the surrounding ferocious insects are almost all crowded within the territory of the Bart Kingdom, which is not a large country to begin with.
They didn't see any ferocious insects at the spot where they landed; the landscape was barren, unlike the scenery of the small country that used to be a must-visit for tourists.
"Gentlemen, I am the commander of this operation and am specifically responsible for assisting you. May I ask what your plan is?"
Within the team, only the captain knew the two men's identities.
Rong Yi attached the flying gear to his body. "We'll move out now. You all stay here and protect yourselves. Let us know if you need any help."
The team members looked at each other, wondering what this meant. Weren't we going to make a plan?
Even if it came suddenly, there was no need to be so rough.
Seeing their confusion, Wei Yanqing gently raised his hand, and the entire group slowly floated into the air.
"What is this?!"
Having seen their share of storms, aside from a single exclamation, all the team members tried their best to steady themselves.
Wei Yanqing lowered his hand, and the group that had floated ten centimeters into the air landed as a whole. "This is the confidence we have in coming here. As I said before, just protect yourselves and observe from the outside. If you need support, we will not hesitate to help."
The captain nodded, still reeling from the shock.
After settling things here, the two headed directly to the territory of the Kingdom of Bart.
Upon arriving at the location, they saw the mother insect from afar. Compared to the mother insect hiding underground in Luo Kingdom, this one was much more arrogant, completely exposed on the ground, surrounded by ferocious insects, and its body was tens of meters tall, a veritable moving mountain of flesh.
"So fat," Rong Yi said.
It is estimated that most of the goods from the Bart Kingdom and several nearby countries ended up in the mouth of this mother insect.
Wei Yanqing was also quite surprised that the mother insect could grow so fast, in less than two months.
As soon as the two approached, the mother insect reacted; when she moved, the other ferocious insects followed suit, all raising their heads.
"I know you. You killed Yatekata, Rong Yi." Before they could get close, the mother insect said these words.
After speaking, the mother insect turned around, and it was supported by a dense swarm of ferocious insects below.
“Not bad, I’ll come back to kill you again today.” Rong Yi’s words caused a temporary disturbance in the swarm of ferocious insects, but the queen insect suppressed them all.
"Don't be too sure of yourself. Even if Yate doesn't die at your hands, she will become my nourishment," the mother insect laughed, her huge body trembling. "But I must say, apart from those defeated enemies, I prefer to eat tender food like you."
After speaking, one of the limbs at the tail of the mother insect raised, with five players strung on it. It turned out that some people had arrived earlier, but they were no match for this mother insect.
The ferocious insect beneath the mother insect moved, flew up and picked up the five half-dead players strung together, intending to put them all into the mother insect's growing mouthparts.
A scorching blade pierced through the air, severing the winged worm's claws. The five players, barely clinging to life, were led away from the scene by Wei Yanqing.
Rong Yi: "As expected, your brain hasn't evolved properly yet. You think you can eat people in front of me to increase your strength? Dream on!"
Her understanding of this species is quite detailed. If this queen insect eats another ten or so players, she will have the power to release information and summon the ferocious insect species from deep space to come and provide support. At that time, not only the natives but also the player group will be unable to escape.
The ferocious insects do have brains, but not many. The truly cunning and treacherous ones are the queens who become the queens of the branch of the race, especially the supreme queen.
"Find my food!" the mother insect shouted angrily.
It had just caught the five players and hadn't even opened its mouth when Rong Yi and the others appeared.
But it doesn't matter, eating Rong Yi is equivalent to eating thousands of players.
The ferocious insects were afraid of Rong Yi, but their understanding of her was only at the genetic level. They simply killed her on sight, but had no idea whether they could actually defeat her.
Wei Yanqing led a few dying players to the action team, dumped them all on them, and placed a defensive item there as a precaution to prevent them from being wiped out by the ferocious insects.
When he returned, Rong Yi was already fighting with the mother insect and hordes of ferocious insects.
As Rong Yi fully immersed herself in the battlefield, she naturally unleashed her hidden abilities. But this time it was different. Originally a dagger, the Blazing Melt blade extended into a phantom as Rong Yi's fighting spirit surged, and the hilt also grew longer, as if it had been transformed by her fighting will.
Rong Yi wielded the drastically changed Blazing Melt, and with a horizontal slash, the ferocious insects in its path burst into flames, losing their vitality and falling to the ground within a few breaths.
The mother insect's immense spiritual power surged toward Rong Yi. This time, Wei Yanqing felt safe and did not make a move. Instead, she pushed all the ferocious insects behind Rong Yi to her front.
With a single swing of the blade, a mountain of insects and a sea of corpses appeared, their crimson reflection illuminating the eyes that peered from afar.
