Why do these vacant-eyed “beastmen” look so familiar?
Sang Luo immediately thought of the insectoids from the past.
She hadn't been back to the Southern Continent, but the insectoids had been quiet for many years. Could it be they were biding their time, their evil intentions not dead?
But they didn't need to self-destruct, right? This tactic of hurting the enemy eight hundred while harming oneself a thousand wouldn't gain them any advantage.
Using her mental power, Sang Luo saw more than a dozen of these "beastmen" in the city and immediately trapped them all with her domain, so their self-destruction wouldn't harm anyone else in the city.
After a series of explosions,
it finally quieted down.
“Madam, I originally wanted to tell you not to come now. Many explosions have suddenly occurred in the city! It's not safe!” Xiao Bai ran over, panting, and took several deep breaths with his hands on his hips before continuing, “At first, we all thought that people from other empires were secretly dropping bombs, trying to cause panic among the people. Later, we discovered that these beastmen could self-destruct. They usually hide in the crowd, and in a chaotic situation, it's difficult to spot them immediately.”
Sang Luo said, "I just saw that these self-destructing beastmen are disguised insectoids."
“The insectoids are making a comeback?” Lyon, having settled the wounded, also came over, extremely indignant. “This matter must be reported quickly. These insectoids definitely didn't just attack one area. We must prepare the people in other places in advance. I really don't know what they're trying to do.”
Sang Luo took out some magical artifacts and gave them to them. “You must first protect your own personal safety. These magic items include defensive types and cage types. If you encounter these beastmen with strange behavior again, don't approach them immediately. Stay far away, the farther the better. It's best to trap them in an open space before dealing with them.”
“Thank you, Madam. We understand.”
Sang Luo also took out several teleportation array disks and many treatment talismans and pills. “I originally wanted to take you there this time, but I didn't expect to run into this kind of thing. Fortunately, I prepared a few extra array disks. I don't know if it's enough. The Eastern Continent is still safe for now. You can take the children back to the Eastern Continent to take refuge. If anyone else in the city wants to leave, you can take them with you.”
“Don't worry, Madam, leave this matter to me.” Lyon was, after all, a soldier and a top student from the Allans Empire, and very experienced in dealing with such emergencies.
Sang Luo went to find Duo Tu to understand the situation in the Western Continent.
No incidents of insectoid explosions harming people had occurred in the Northern and Eastern Continents yet. For the time being, only cities in the southern part of the Western Continent had traces of insectoids.
Geographically, the Southern Continent was indeed closer to the southern part of the Western Continent, so if the insectoids wanted to launch an invasion, the first place they would land would be the Western Continent.
As for the insectoids' unconventional and radical tactics, she would probably have to go to the Southern Continent to find out.
… …
Poisonous miasma permeated the air, and the jungle was deep and secluded.
Sang Luo had been to the Insectoid Royal Palace before and still had some impressions, so she went straight there.
After the Insectoid Emperor died back then, she didn't know who was in charge of the insectoids now.
Aze had once mentioned that the Insectoid Emperor's strength was very strong, his talent and realm far above all the insectoids. If it had been a few years later, he might not have been his opponent back then.
Whoever could obtain the Insectoid Emperor's corpse would most likely be the next Insectoid King.
Sang Luo walked along the way, but found that the situation was a little strange.
She originally thought that self-destruction was the insectoids' extreme tactic to intimidate the beastmen, but she found that many insectoid territories had also been attacked by self-destruction.
Could it be that internal conflicts had arisen first?
Arriving at the Insectoid Royal Palace,
Sang Luo met an unexpected person, “Shi Yi? You're the current Insectoid King?”
The handsome and wicked youth with green curly hair was also injured. He covered his chest with one hand, and there were still untreated blood stains on his clothes. He looked at the person in shock, “It's you?”
Sang Luo reacted and smiled faintly, “You picked up the Insectoid Emperor's corpse, didn't you? You deliberately provoked Anubis to break with the Insectoid Emperor back then, and in the end, you were the one who benefited.”
Shi Yi's strength and talent were average, but he broke through from the Half-King Realm to the peak of the King Realm in a dozen years. Without thinking, she knew that the Insectoid Emperor's corpse must have fallen into his hands.
Shi Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, straightened up, and his slender eyes narrowed like crescent moons, “Long time no see~ Little Chili is still so smart ah~”
“What's wrong with the injuries on your body? Did someone in the insectoids assassinate you?”
“You could say that, those things don't distinguish between friend and foe, and they explode everywhere like crazy people!” Shi Yi gritted his teeth.
Sang Luo found a chair and sat down, “I originally thought that the insectoids were scheming, but now it seems that the internal affairs of your insectoids are more complicated than I thought.”
Shi Yi's face became even paler, but he still looked at her with a smile, “I know you're here for those exploding insectoids, but I can clearly tell you that these exploding insectoids are not the work of our insectoids, at least, not the insectoids of our Southern Continent.”
“What do you mean?” Sang Luo narrowed her eyes, “… … Besides the Southern Continent, there are other insectoids?”
“You should also know that the insectoids are not native residents of the Beast World Continent. We migrated from the outside universe. The insectoids of the Southern Continent are just a branch of the insectoid race. The insectoids with truly noble bloodlines are much stronger than us insectoids who have mixed with beastmen genes.”
“What are those insectoids called?”
“Void-Rending Insectoids.”
“… …”
“The difference between the Void-Rending Insectoids and the insectoids is like a born King Beast and a gene beastman.” Shi Yi made an analogy, a flash of hatred flashing in his eyes, “In the eyes of the Void-Rending Insectoids, we insectoid beastmen are extremely lowly. Those guys have mastered the original genetic code of our insectoid beastmen and can easily take our lives, manipulate gene viruses, and detonate us like bombs, turning us into weapons in their hands!”
“… …” Sang Luo didn't know what to say. The insectoids still had this relationship, “How many insectoids are there in the Beast World Continent in total?”
Shi Yi said, “Countless. There are hundreds of millions of insectoids in the Southern Continent alone, not including the many insectoids disguised as beastmen living among them. It can be said that insectoids have infiltrated every place in the Beast World Continent. If those guys want to detonate all the insectoids at once, the Beast World Continent will usher in the apocalypse!”
Sang Luo took a deep breath, remained calm, and looked at Shi Yi's cunning, slender green eyes, “Just say what you want to say directly, there's no need to hide it. As long as it can stop the insectoid explosions, the beastmen are willing to join forces with the insectoids.”
Shi Yi looked at her and smiled slightly, “I knew that Little Chili is not only beautiful but also a smart person.”
“… … I hate people who beat around the bush. I don't have time to waste my breath here with you.”
“Okay, then I'll be direct. The insectoids and beastmen are powerless to resolve this crisis.” Shi Yi stared straight at Sang Luo, “Except for you.”
Perfecting the outline for later, no extra updates tonight~
