Chapter 156 Old Friend
"How do you know my name is Hayate?"
The Insect King asked, then suddenly realized, "Did my uncle tell you?"
Ji Feng was raised by her uncle. She had seen countless portraits of Jiang He in her uncle's room. The person in front of her felt both strange and familiar. She wanted to get closer to him, but she was also jealous that he had monopolized her uncle, causing her uncle to remain unconscious until now.
Ji Feng had been in Lan Hu's body the entire time, so when the Tianlong left A62, it took Ji Feng away with it.
According to Ji Xuyao, Jifeng Lanhu and others returned from the inner world in 136.
Under normal circumstances, Ji Feng should have been in Lan Hu's belly at that time. How could he be raised by Yi? What about Hong Yu?
Jiang He didn't answer but asked, "Where is your mother, Hongyu?"
"Dead," Ji Feng said. "She was brutally slaughtered by humans, and her body was dismembered."
At this point, she stared at Jiang He with a gloomy expression, "What about you? Do you want to be my aunt and help me retrieve my uncle's consciousness from the other world, or do you want to be my enemy and kill him for me?"
Without waiting for Jiang He to reply, she continued, "During this time, whenever I close my eyes, I can hear my uncle's cries for help. The Zerg bloodline is wired to each other. My uncle only calls for help when his inner world is about to collapse. If his consciousness doesn't emerge, he'll die. You're my uncle's woman. It's your choice to be a human or a Zerg."
As the Insect Queen finished her words, her tail hook instantly passed over her head and was just inches away from Jiang He's eyebrows. It seemed that as long as Jiang He gave the wrong answer, her tail hook would pierce into Jiang He's eyebrows without hesitation and pierce Jiang He's head through.
Jiang He, "Your uncle and I once signed a peace treaty. The Zerg and humans used the Red Stone Galaxy as a boundary, and neither side invaded the other."
"Indeed, my uncle never thought of leading the Zerg into the Redstone Galaxy for this reason, but I am not him. I was born to honor my people, and I want to find a smooth path for them."
The Insect King's tail hook approached Jiang He again, and the poisonous juice coming out of the tail hook almost touched Jiang He's forehead.
Jiang He didn't dodge. She looked back at the Insect King, "I am a human. As long as I live, I will do my best to stop the Insect Eaters from slaughtering humans."
"You don't want to save my uncle?" The Insect Queen's expression suddenly changed. She looked at Jiang He angrily, "Humans are indeed a cruel, heartless, lowly and despicable species."
She was filled with murderous intent, as if she wanted to kill Jiang He immediately, but she was afraid of something, so she endured it, her whole body trembling, but she didn't make a move.
Jiang He guessed that fighting and killing were forbidden in this Haiyun Crystal. Although Ji Feng hated her, he did not attack her because of Yi.
"Jifeng, if you're attacking humans because of the Jun Stone, let's suspend the fighting first and work together to find a way to get the Jun Stone, open the passage to the inner world, and bring Yi's consciousness out." Compared to Jifeng's excitement, Jiang He was calm. She glanced at the Haiyun Crystals around her and said, "If you continue to act like this, humans will never give you the Jun Stone to negotiate peace. The Haiyun Crystals won't hold out for long. Instead of fighting, why don't we work together to find a way to save Yi first."
"Oh, as long as I kill all the humans in the twelve star systems, even if they don't offer the Jun Stone to me, I can find it myself."
Jiang He looked at her and said, "The inner world could collapse at any time. Are you sure you want to go your own way?"
Ji Feng, "Oh, you are nothing more than a lackey for humans. You say you are doing it for my uncle, but in fact you are doing it for humans."
Jiang He glanced at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense. At this time, we have to work together to get the Jun Stone from the Federation as quickly as possible."
Her expression was calm, yet she looked like an imposing elder. That glance made the Insect King feel a little weak.
The Insect Queen was furious at her own inexplicable weakness. She said angrily, "Then tell me, what method do you have?"
Jiang He: "Take Yi and retreat to the Twelve Star Systems. I will negotiate with the Federation."
"Why should I trust you?"
Jiang He glanced at Yi on the bed and said, "He is your uncle, but he is my husband."
Her eyes were firm and resolute. The Insect King opened his mouth, but this time he didn't refute her. He said reluctantly, "I won't retreat. You can stop moving forward if you want me to. In that case, I'll stay on this Blue Wolf Star. I brought my people here with great difficulty, and I will never retreat back to the Twelve Star Systems."
Jiang He, "You can stay here, but you must control the Zerg and stop killing any humans from Blue Wolf Star. If you can't do that, I will destroy your Zerg ship."
"How can that be? My uncle is alive only because of the Sea Cloud Crystal. If you destroy the insect ship, you will destroy my uncle."
Jiang He raised his eyes and stared at her coldly, "As a close couple, your uncle and I share a deep bond, but when it comes to the fate of our clan, I will choose the latter. Ji Feng, if you don't agree, I will go out and wipe out your clan first."
"Alright, alright, I promise." The Insect King said angrily, "I promise, I will give the order to stop them from killing people."
Jiang He was still not satisfied with the result. "They are restricted to stay on Tianlang Mountain and cannot go down the mountain."
"Aren't you trying to imprison me in disguise? How could I, the mighty Insect King, possibly..."
Jiang He glanced at her sideways.
The Insect Queen caught her eye and swallowed back the words that were about to come out. She didn't understand why she was afraid of this human. He had bewitched her uncle, but why did he bewitch her too? The Insect Queen was furious, but just like mice are naturally afraid of cats, she always had an inexplicable complex of emotions towards this human. She wanted to get close, but she was also jealous and a little afraid. She couldn't understand these emotions of hers. Her body had already reacted subconsciously, and she said aggrievedly, "Okay, I'll trust you this time."
Fearing that Jiang He would resort to some trick again, the Insect King personally sent Jiang He away.
As they passed the huge cage, Jiang He pointed at the two mutant blue tigers in the cage and said, "They should be the leaders of Blue Wolf Star. I want to take them away."
"No." The Insect Queen was furious. This woman had already snatched her uncle, but now she was trying to steal her pets. She opened her arms to block the cage and stamped her feet angrily. "They are my pets. Don't even think about taking them away."
Jiang He didn't understand why she was so angry. "They can talk to the people in the Federation. I need them."
The Insect King was so angry that he kicked the cage and pointed his tail hook at Jiang He, "Then you have to give it back to me later."
Her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry. Jiang He was stunned for a moment: "Oh."
Seeing that she agreed, the Insect King raised his head and said arrogantly, "If you dare to break your promise, I will tear you apart."
The two mutated blue tigers were seriously injured and were suppressed in cages, preventing them from regaining their human form.
After leaving the cage, they immediately regained their human form, but were seriously injured and walked with a stagger.
The Insect King saw the two old men and looked at them with disgust. "Take them away quickly, take them away. I want them to look like tigers when they come back."
Jiang He led the two down the mountain. Blue Elephant and the others were waiting at the foot of the mountain. Seeing the two people beside Jiang He, they excitedly ran over and said, "Dad, Uncle, you are still alive. That's great."
He turned his head again and thanked Jiang He repeatedly with great gratitude, "You saved my father and my uncle, right? Thank you."
Lan Xianghe's father is Lan Weiyuan, and Lan Xianghe's uncle is Lan Weijia.
Both of them were seriously injured. They had been holding on for a long time when they were following Jiang He. Now that they saw their own people, they only said a few words of comfort before fainting.
The enthusiastic Lan Xianghe invited Jiang He to the Governor's Mansion.
He talked non-stop to Jiang He about the battle. "For some reason, all those insects returned to Tianlang Mountain. The insect ship is still on the top of Tianlang Mountain. The insect ship's defense is too strong. Our weapons can't break through the defense and blow up the insect ship. It's such a pity."
"I don't know what the Zerg are up to. The Federation has already dispatched large ships to evacuate the people on Blue Wolf Star, but it will take at least three or four days for them to arrive. If the Zerg launch another attack during this time..."
Jiang He interrupted him, "The Zerg won't attack for now."
"Really? Really?" Lan Xianghe was very surprised. "Did you talk to them? Are there any queens in these insect ships? What exactly do they want to do?"
"Junshi, they want Junshi."
Lan Xianghe was stunned for a moment, and Jiang He asked him, "Do you know Junshi?"
Lan Xianghe nodded. "Planet A62 is rich in Junshi. All the Junshi refined there is shipped to various planets. The Insect Emperor previously published a declaration on the interstellar network, demanding that the Federation use Junshi in exchange for peace. The Federation has yet to respond to the Insect Emperor's declaration."
He leaned closer to Jiang He and whispered, "Jun Stone is not only widely used in manufacturing, but can also be used to create weapons and jump points. Giving Jun Stone to the Zerg is equivalent to handing over weapons. The Federation would rather die than give Jun Stone to the Zerg."
Jiang He lowered her eyebrows and stared at his eyes. The mutant beasts were all blue tigers, and their eyebrows and eyes were so similar. She was moved, "What's your grandfather's name?"
Her question suddenly took a turn. Although Lan Xiang didn't understand why she asked that, he answered honestly, "Lan Shan Zun, Blue Wolf Star was discovered and developed by my grandfather's generation."
Shanzun is another name for tiger.
Jiang He felt the emotions swelling in his chest and continued to ask calmly, "Is your grandfather still alive?"
"He passed away at the beginning of the year." Lan Xianghe said with his head hung low, "My grandfather was really great. He also gave me my name."
Jiang He: "When your grandfather opened up Blue Wolf Star, did he bring many people with him?"
"Yes, everyone from my grandfather's hometown moved here. He said there were tens of thousands of people. Back then, Blue Wolf Star was a wasteland. It was my grandfather's generation who worked day and night to build Blue Wolf Star into what it is today. My grandfather and his generation were truly amazing."
"Are all the people of your grandfather's generation still alive?"
"They're all dead." Lan Xianghe sighed. "At the beginning of the year, Blue Wolf Star was hit by a cold epidemic. Almost all the elderly people on Blue Wolf Star were infected and died. All the grandfathers I knew passed away around the same time as Grandpa."
