The abdomen bulged violently, like a huge heart beating continuously.
After a long period of agitation, a large number of fine brown holes on the dark blue body suddenly became larger.
Each hole became as big as the mouth of a pot.
The moment these holes appeared, the chestnut ball seemed to sense something and hurriedly informed Lin You.
Lin You's mind moved, but his expression remained calm as he stared at the holes on the insect queen's bloated abdomen.
There seemed to be waves of black light surging in the hole.
The black light flickered for a while and then spread out in vain.
The next moment, thousands of various stuck souls appeared on the ground.
The lowest quality of these card souls is black star, and the vast majority are super black star level.
Lin You and his companions were stunned.
How many black star and super black star monsters have to be killed?
This was the first thing Hua Peiling and Chen Ming thought of.
Lin You and Liu Zao were wondering how much these card souls were worth!
If you can get it, why would you need the Wang family's secret treasures? With these, you can probably make a fortune and never worry about running out of money!
A Black Star Soul Card is worth about 100 Duel Points, and a Super Black Star is worth 500 points. With such a large number of Soul Cards, even if most of them have problems with fragmentation, having 1,000 normal Soul Cards would earn you hundreds of thousands of Duel Points.
Thinking of this number, Lin You felt dizzy.
Even for him who was used to being rich, this was an unimaginable huge fortune.
Even if you sell Jiangcheng University, you can't get so much money, right?
Not to mention Liu Zao, the money-grubber, who was seeing stars without even trying to hide it.
Chen Ming and the other man quickly realized this and their expressions became a little unnatural.
In his mind, he even considered for a moment whether he could kill the insect queen, but he soon realized how bold and dangerous this idea was. He was wavering wildly between the temptation of the "gold mountain" and his reason, and he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
There is a kind of pain that is hard to come by!
Hundreds of thousands!
Seeing their reaction, the Insect Queen couldn't help but smile complacently. "Well, do you still feel like you're missing something? It's just a treasure. I have plenty here. If these life essence cores aren't enough, I also have many rare medicinal herbs."
As he spoke, as if to prove that what he said was true, a burst of colorful light emerged from the pot-sized holes in his body.
Not long after, a large number of exotic flowers and plants appeared on the ground.
Although Lin You didn't quite understand these, he could sense the vigorous vitality from these herbs, and there were obvious magical fluctuations emanating from the herbs.
As expected, these are all magical herbs. It is said that some magical supplements and recovery products are made from this kind of herbs.
These medicinal herbs must be of great value.
However, Lin You's mind was still on those stuck souls.
He didn't covet those stuck souls anymore, because just now, after a period of deep perception, Chestnut Ball found that he could no longer sense any soul fluctuations in those stuck souls.
You should know that no matter how low the quality of the card soul is, there will be weak soul fluctuations inside.
Ordinary people cannot perceive this weak fluctuation, but the chestnut ball can capture it.
A stuck soul that has completely lost its soul fluctuations actually means that the degree of fragmentation of this stuck soul has reached the extreme.
The completely shattered Ka Soul only has its form left but no spirit, it is just a dead object!
Lin You was still looking at the card souls when he suddenly thought of something.
Even though those card souls are now dead, it cannot be denied that they once existed.
The insect queen or the insects under her command killed them and stored the souls in their stomachs.
And how many of these card souls are there?
Thousands, maybe even thousands!
Can such a large number of Black Star and Super Black Star level card souls really be hunted down overnight?
After all, the Amazon Secret Realm is only a low-risk secret realm, and it is impossible for super-black star monsters to be so rampant.
More importantly, Lin You had seen a large number of corpses of high-level monsters in a cave before. Now it seems that the souls that exploded from those corpses might be among them.
However, among the large number of corpses piled up in the cave, there were no Amazon corpses.
Although it is just a glimpse, it still means that the Insect Queen has never, or has rarely, attacked the Amazons.
The Amazons are the masters of this secret realm, and the vast majority of high-level monsters are theirs.
It's even more terrifying that he didn't take action against them but still accumulated such a large number of stuck souls!
At this moment, Lin You began to believe what the Insect Queen had just said.
This guy might really be an antique that has existed for a long time!
Including the exotic medicinal herbs that the other party has just taken out, they can also provide evidence to a certain extent.
And if this is true, it would be a serious matter!
In the secret realm of the Amazon, there actually lives a red-star-level monster that can communicate with humans and obviously has its own thoughts. It says that within five years, the human world will be destroyed. It calls itself a sub-origin human and exists in the ancient times!
Second-origin people... Could it be that the beings causing chaos in those secret realms are all such ancient beings?
But according to the people at the table, those secret realms where riots occurred should all be super-dangerous secret realms.
The secret realms of other levels are not that deep yet.
The light-risk secret realm is the one with the lowest risk factor, but it also contains sub-origin people like the Insect Queen. Does the Duelist Association know about this?
If you don’t know, it would be terrible!
Perhaps in their eyes, the light-danger secret realm is an existence that does not require much energy to control, but they never thought that such a threat is hidden. At the critical moment, it may be an unexpected and dangerous change!
However, it is probably unrealistic to go to great lengths to control all the light-risk secret realms.
No matter how powerful the Duelist Association is, there are tens of thousands of light-dangerous secret realms. How can they be controlled?
Even if we exclude the unofficial numbered secret realms, there are nearly a thousand of them.
In this situation, violent destruction is more satisfying than control.
At this moment, Lin You thought a lot, but soon stopped thinking about it.
There’s no use thinking about it!
Given his current position, there are still too many things he doesn't understand, or only has a vague understanding of. Right now, he can't analyze or think too much.
After you go out, just confirm with the teacher. If the teacher doesn’t know, ask the teacher to verify it. It will be more valued and easier to get the truth.
Lin You suddenly laughed and said, "I am Meng Lang. I didn't expect there would be so many treasures stored here. It's really eye-opening. You are worthy of being the honorable Ciyuanren... Oh no, I should say Master Ciyuanren."
The Insect Queen sneered, "I understand. Therefore, it's your honor to be my nourishment, to become a part of my body. This is far better than being destroyed and dying miserably in a few years. You should be thankful. So, hand that fellow over now. My precious evolved form has already broken through the excess obstacles in him. Let me absorb him first."
Liu Zao, who was targeted by it, turned pale in an instant. As greedy as he was, he didn't dare to hope for those stuck souls anymore.
What’s the use of having more money if you can’t even protect your life?
Do you expect to keep it for consumption in the underworld?
Liu Zao hurriedly looked at Lin You for help. Although Lin You's previous remarks hinted at the idea of giving up, he knew that a super genius like Lin You would never give up so easily.
At this moment, Lin You still had a smile on his face, as if the gradually spreading danger had nothing to do with him. He just asked curiously, "I don't understand. With your status as noble and powerful as you, why are you so obsessed with absorbing small people like us? What benefits will it bring to you after absorbing us?"
The Insect Queen said calmly, "I've already told you that you're good nutrition for me. Absorbing you will naturally benefit me. These precious evolutionary bodies of mine have emerged from a large number of source insects and gradually evolved. To obtain more evolutionary bodies, I need more source insects. To nurture these source insects, nutrition is essential, and that nutrition comes from you, the people of the human world."
Source insects?
Lin You thought about it and decided that it must be referring to those scarabs.
And if those scarabs evolve, they will become the strange insects encountered before.
After that, it is the current evolved form of the fly.
Perhaps this fly can evolve further. If it can evolve further, it would be really scary.
Apart from anything else, in terms of combat power, it is probably comparable to the Red Star Monster!
In this way, the derivatives of those strange insects may be the product of the scarab's failed evolution.
Of course, even if they failed, their combat power still soared.
Perhaps it should not be called a failure, but rather a semi-success. After evolution, it has lost the space to continue to rise.
The cause of this should be the lost soul in the body.
It is amazing that the card soul can still fight and burst out with powerful combat power even though it has lost its core.
This is probably due to the existence of the Insect Queen.
Its existence supports these derivatives.
However, Lin You still didn't understand and continued to ask, "Then why are we nutrition? Is there something special about us?"
"That's none of your concern."
This time, the Insect Queen did not answer. Instead, she said in a cold voice, "Hurry up and get that guy who ran away to come over. I'll absorb him now."
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely strong aura suddenly released, and that aura was filled with substantial murderous intent!
The moment this aura spread, Gunner Long's eyes turned cold and he responded with substantial murderous intent.
The two murderous auras collided, and although the Insect Queen was obviously stronger, the remaining murderous aura was obviously reduced a lot.
Those murderous auras could not harm Lin You and the others who were connected in soul.
The only one who would be affected was Liu Zao, but he was also protected by a magic barrier vortex.
The Insect Queen looked at Lin You coldly and asked, "Are you looking for death?"
Lin You laughed and said, "How could that be? Since you've already started, of course I have to resist. If I surrender, wouldn't that be courting death? Unfortunately, I haven't lived long enough."
"Are you kidding me?"
The Insect Queen's eyes were icy, but Lin You said calmly, "Not really. I just want to hear more interesting things from you. You're answering me so patiently. Don't say you're being kind. Maybe you're also trying to buy time, right?"
The Insect Queen sneered, "What a joke! Killing you would be easy for me, so why delay? I've said all this to you just to make you more content to be absorbed by me. Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being ruthless and ungrateful."
Lin You said with a playful tone, "Then why are you still talking nonsense? You're not the type to enjoy talking nonsense, are you? It seems that you've just woken up from a deep sleep, and it might take some time for you to recover. Or maybe the fly that died earlier had some effects on you, and you'll also need time to recover. In that case... why don't I start this for you?"
The moment the words fell, a card suddenly flipped in front of him.
Sizzle.
A special magnetic field suddenly emerged and spread rapidly. In the huge insect nest, a large number of magical buildings arranged in a circular shape suddenly rose from the ground!
Field magic card, Endymion!
The Insect Queen wasn't surprised by the sudden change in the environment. She clearly knew the source of the change and simply sneered, "You humans are indeed dishonest, but you're not stupid. You're right. Having just awakened, it takes some time to adjust. The shattering of the evolved form did have some impact, but now, these are no longer a problem."
Having said that, he looked at Lin You deeply and said, "I knew long ago that you wouldn't just sit there and wait for death. I think that guy gave you enough confidence. According to the definition of your human world, you are considered a Red Star-level existence, right?"
Lin You smiled and said, "It seems that you are very familiar with our human world. You must have come into contact with many humans, right?"
"certainly."
The Insect Queen suddenly pointed at her abdomen with her forepaws and jokingly said, "They're all here. To me, they're all delicious delicacies worth savoring. The only problem is that every time I absorb one, there's supposedly a big commotion outside the giant tree. But those idiots probably never even discover this place. They probably think it's the work of those Amazons, right? This area is indeed controlled by those Amazons now."
"I see..."
Guyni
Lin You's laughter subsided. "Then you're unlucky to have met us this time."
"Bad luck?"
The Insect Queen couldn't help but laugh. "You don't think you still have a chance to escape at this point, do you? Do you think I'll let you guys escape with the information? Don't be delusional. Did you create this place to trap me and find a way out? What a naive idea!"
Chen Ming looked at Lin You nervously. He had been observing for a long time but had not found any exit or suspected exit.
Just as he wanted to continue observing, Lin You suddenly activated this field magic card.
In his opinion, this was not a wise move. When the site was covered, the external environment was temporarily blocked, and the opportunity to continue exploring was lost.
Lin You would not do such a thing as to destroy his own way out. What is he thinking now?
Liu Zao was also a little confused. How come all the field magic cards were activated?
Only Hua Peiling was slightly shocked. She thought of something and looked at Lin You in great surprise.
At this moment, Lin You looked at the Insect Queen calmly, "Escape? Why would you want to escape? Since the key to escape lies with you, then I'll just kill you, and the problem will naturally be solved."
The insect queen was stunned, and the next moment, she looked at Lin You as if he were a fool.
Kill me?
Is this human being too desperate and his brain has gone crazy?
Why did he have such an illusion?
Just because of that red star monster?
Doesn't he know that these red star monsters cultivated and summoned by humans are usually very different from the red star monsters in the secret realm?
Compared with myself, a secondary origin person who has existed since ancient times, my strength is incomparable!
Chen Ming and the other man looked stunned.
Did we hear it right just now?
What kind of monster does Lin You plan to kill?
Even Hua Peiling, who had guessed Lin You's intention, began breathing faster.
Because no matter how you look at it, this is something that is almost impossible to do.
Lin You is definitely inferior to the opponent's core gunner Long in terms of combat power.
In fact, we can see some clues from the collision of auras just now.
If we are lucky, the gap between them may be limited, but this situation is unlikely to happen.
A more realistic possibility is that Gunner Dragon might be able to contend with the opponent for a longer period of time without being defeated.
In this case, perhaps if the four of them work together, there is still a chance of winning.
Even if we cannot kill the opponent, seriously injuring him and forcing him to open a passage is enough.
But the problem is that, in reality, with the strength of the Insect Queen, the Gunner Dragon may not be able to hold on for too long...it may even be defeated in a short period of time.
It is not without basis that some people would think so.
But it is based on a key factor... the red star monsters in the secret realm basically have awakened combat skills!
In other words, according to the human world, the Insect Queen is a red star monster that has reached the duel level.
The difference in a combat skill may not sound fatal, but if you think about the super black star monsters that everyone is more familiar with at this stage, you will probably understand it.
A super dark star monster with awakened combat skills, facing a super dark star monster that has not yet awakened combat skills, can even kill the opponent instantly with its combat skills!
This concept still makes sense when applied to the Red Star Monster.
The Insect Queen's explosive combat skills make it possible for her to instantly kill the Gunner Dragon!
Even if we can't kill him instantly, we can still inflict serious damage.
Once the Gunner Dragon falls, no matter how many people they have, they will not be able to shake the Insect Queen.
With this analysis, there is almost no hope.
The Insect Queen laughed disdainfully and said, "You hopeless fellow! I used to think you had some brains, but now it seems you're just an idiot who doesn't know your own limitations. So, I'll grant your wish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the holes in his abdomen reappeared and seven or eight insects flew out.
These insects have round heads, dark blue compound eyes, dark red abdomens connected to a pair of bright yellow wings, and a pair of sharp sickle-like forelimbs growing on round white ears.
Seeing these insects, Chen Ming and the other two's expressions changed again.
It was the strange insect I had seen before!
These insects all have super black star combat power. Not only that, their attacks also bring certain direct damage.
Such a large number of strange insects will undoubtedly make the already bad battle situation even worse!
I thought the Insect Queen couldn't summon extra insects in the venue, but unexpectedly, there were still seven or eight hidden in its abdomen.
In addition to these strange insects, the red flies that flew back before and the silver flies that avoided the battle were also a trouble.
The red fly was fine, having been seriously injured before.
But that silver fly, apart from its explosive combat skills, is also a genuine super black star monster.
It was fine before, but now, with the insect queen in charge, every additional insect means an additional threat.
Unlike the other three, Lin You's eyes lit up when he saw those strange insects. He said happily, "Those strange insects came out of its abdomen, so they're probably not fakes. Killing one of them might earn me 500 duel points. If we go all out and finish this job, even if we withdraw to our base immediately, this trip to the secret realm will be worth it!"
Liu Zao was almost crying.
It’s already this late, and you’re still thinking about making money!
Even I don’t have the mind to do that!
I thought I was quite money-loving, but now compared with Lin You, I am nothing!
Chen Ming was also terrified and couldn't help but whisper, "Lin You, are you sure you can escape? Have you found the exit?"
"Maybe we've found a way out."
Lin You smiled and whispered something. Hearing this, Chen Ming suddenly felt as if a ray of light had appeared in the gloomy world. But the next moment, he changed the subject and said, "But it doesn't matter now. I've changed my mind. I'm going to kill this guy right here and now. Not only for the sake of making money, but also to help the human world solve a big problem that seems to exist."
“…”
Chen Ming was in tears and didn't know what to say. He didn't understand why Lin You was suddenly so determined to fight to the end.
Could it be that the only way to open the exit is to deal with the other party?
If this is the case, this war may really be inevitable...
Chen Ming, who didn't know the reason, could only think so.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't have the courage to fight the Insect Queen.
Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and said in panic: "Lin You, it's coming to kill us!"
Looking at the insect queen who was crushing the ground with her eight legs and flying towards him like a cannonball, Lin You looked calm. He activated his magic power and a magic card flipped in front of her.
An illusory figure in a robe appeared, but there was no staff in the figure's hand. Instead, he slowly spread out his hands, and a surging magical aura emerged like a hurricane.
An astonishing scene appeared.
On Endymion's clock tower that recorded the magic indicator, several magical lights flashed instantly.
When it froze, it had already engraved seven magic indicators!
Quick attack magic card, magic power gathers!
Activate this card, select an object on your side of the field that can receive Magic Counters, and add Magic Counters equal to half the number of Magic Counters previously consumed, up to a maximum of '6'.
There is no doubt that the number of magic indicators consumed by Lin You before has exceeded 12. According to the half-year growth, it has reached the upper limit of growth.
There will be 7 new magic counters on Endymion, and the extra one is the magic focus itself, which is also added to the activation of the magic card.
Bang, bang, bang!
As Endymion's magic indicator increased dramatically, the Insect Queen easily swept away the oncoming shells, then opened her mouth and sprayed out a cloud of purple mist.
The mist enveloped the Gunner Dragon, but Chimera quickly summoned a gust of wind.
The strong wind blew, and the fog deviated slightly in direction. Gunner Dragon took a step forward to avoid it.
But then, the Insect Queen crashed into them.
A pair of spear-like forelegs hit the Cannoneer Dragon the moment it was hit, and the Cannoneer Dragon was forced to retreat uncontrollably for more than ten meters.
The Insect Queen immediately chased after it, and before the Cannoneer Dragon could adjust its body shape, she swept out with her front paws again.
But at this moment, several wind swords attacked it and hit its terrifying front paws.
Bang, bang, boom!
The sound of energy explosions continued, and all the wind elements dissipated.
The invincible Wind Sword now seemed like a fragile toy in front of the Insect Queen.
Fortunately, the little time gained was enough for Gunner Dragon to open fire.
Two gun barrels above his head were aimed at the insect queen, and large amounts of shells poured down.
This time, the insect queen finally seemed to be afraid and stopped attacking.
But they still retreated calmly, sweeping away the shells that they didn't have time to dodge.
Not long after the fight began, the Insect Queen showed her amazing combat ability!
Under the heavy bombardment, the Insect Queen strolled leisurely, even finding time to quip, "Is this the only ace you can count on? With such limited strength, it's barely enough to be used as a warm-up."
Chen Ming and his companions were in a heavy mood. They had long expected that the Insect Queen would be extremely powerful, but they never thought that she would be so powerful.
Even before unleashing his fighting skills, he was already so powerful that no one could match him!
Under such a huge sense of oppression, even though Chen Ming and his friends were not ordinary students, they still showed some signs of losing their fighting spirit.
Hua Peiling, who had calmed down a little, was quietly looking at Lin You.
She knew very well that under the current circumstances, her strength was not enough to endanger the Insect Queen, and being able to deal with some strange insects was already her limit.
Among the three, perhaps only Chen Ming's suit-wearing man can pose a certain threat to the Insect Queen.
Because only the man in the suit still has some fighting skills.
The combat skills that explode from super black star monsters can still be effective even if the target is a red star monster.
But this effect is far from fatal compared to the huge vitality of the Red Star Monster.
Unless the Red Star Monster is seriously injured, only then will the Super Black Star Combat Skill have the possibility of bringing it to an end.
However, such an idea is almost like a fantasy given the current situation.
Who can inflict heavy damage to the insect queen?
Hua Peiling was thinking about this when suddenly, a series of vibrations came from the clock tower on Endymion that recorded the magic indicator.
A total of 6 magic counters disappeared inadvertently.
But at the moment when the six magic indicators disappeared, a vast amount of magic power suddenly surged out.
The entire Endymion even trembled violently, as if this magical city was overwhelmed by the vast magical power.
At this moment, all the magical buildings emitted a magical power, as if responding to the vast magical power.
Fine red lightning raged in the sky above that vast magical power.
A purple figure slowly emerged under the lightning, at the center of the vast magic power.
