Blood...blood! That's right, blood.
Chen Jing suddenly grasped something; he suddenly understood why Mei Moke had them eliminate the other angels and what the underlying meaning was.
When the angels—or cocoon people like these—die, their blood flows into the maggot carpet, where it is consumed by the other surviving cocoon people.
Therefore, Mei Moke wanted Chen Jing and his group to eliminate the others so that he could enjoy their blood.
Blood clearly has an evolutionary effect on the cocoon people.
At this moment, Zhang Taoying continued:
"Does any of you need our help? We still have some fighting strength... the highest bidder wins, hehe."
Li Ai suddenly spoke, interrupting Zhang Taoying's conversation: "Gather strength and prepare for battle."
Her body tensed: "Just a little longer, and it will become stronger."
Li Aidan also saw this? They're stalling for time? Are they getting stronger by consuming the blood of the faceless cocoon we killed earlier? Chen Jing wondered.
“I don’t think they’re suitable to discuss a deal,” He Lili said with a stern face.
Should we strike first? No, if we kill them, that Mei Moke might become a new angel. Just because he had no ill intentions before doesn't mean he won't have any after becoming an angel. If the baseline combat strength of an angel is the Qi Realm, then a Qi Realm cultivator who is free to move and not nailed to a stake... we'll probably have to risk total annihilation to win! Chen Jing's mind raced.
After thinking for a while, Chen Jing decided to discuss it with the others first. He didn't know if Li Si and the others had thought of this.
So Chen Jing said, "Alright, we won't disturb your friendly conversation any longer. Please continue..."
Zhang Taoying seemed to be cooperating with Chen Jing, deliberately saying loudly, "We won't disturb you any longer, farewell."
As he spoke, he retreated, and Chen Jing's actions prompted the others to retreat as well.
Dao Nan closed the door behind him and asked, "How many bullets and grenades do we have left?"
“There are still some, but they can only last for one battle,” Chen Jing said softly. “Don’t forget, there’s also Mei Moke.”
At this moment, Chen Jing told everyone his guess, and everyone's expression immediately turned grim.
Li Si, who had already taken out his small bone hammer, said, "Let's not make any rash moves now. Let them fight each other to the death, and then we can reap the benefits."
Li Si said, "Let's go back to the old man's place first. According to Chen Jing, if the total blood is limited and will be divided equally among each insectoid, then we will only face increasingly stronger beings. If the old man's changes are faster or weaker than these two, then it may be a temporary change that strengthens over time."
No one objected, and the group went to the first room on the left.
The cocoon-man who called himself Mei Moke had also grown wings and was about to emerge from his cocoon. His face had returned to human form, and was that of a rather kind old man.
The old man noticed Chen Jing and the others returning, and he turned around with a smile on his face.
