Chapter 337 Reunion with an Old Friend (1)
"Me?"
"The Void Rending Insect Clan lives in the Star Swirl Insect Nest. The 'Control Center' of the gene virus is hidden there. You only need to find the 'Control Center' and destroy it to resolve the crisis of the Beast World Continent."
"Why only me?"
"The Insect Clan has a dedicated identity recognition system developed for the Beast Race, covering the entire territory. Beastmen cannot go to the Star Swirl Insect Nest, but you are human, not under surveillance. You can pass the identity screening and successfully sneak into the Star Swirl Insect Nest."
"You've always been cunning. You're not trying to trick me with something like this, are you?" Sang Luo raised an eyebrow, staring straight into Shi Yi's slender, beautiful eyes, trying to peer into the depths of his pupils.
"Little Chili, if I trick you, the ending will be no different from those exploding, pitiful Insect Clans, reduced to ashes. If I cooperate with you, maybe I can find a way to survive." Shi Yi's eyebrows curved, and he smiled, "I like to seek benefits for myself and cherish my life the most."
"…What is the strength level of the Void Rending Insect Clan?"
"Actually, you've seen them before."
"Oh?"
"The Insect Emperor back then was a pure-blooded Void Rending Insect Clan member."
"He wasn't from the Beast World Insect Clan?"
"No, the Void Rending Insect Clan has coveted the blessed land of the Beast World Continent for a long time. And we, these Insect Clan Beastmen, are the best breakthrough point for them to invade the Beast World Continent. As long as they control us, it's equivalent to controlling a powerful weapon, attacking from both inside and outside, annihilating everything in one fell swoop!" Shi Yi's green eyes were deep and dark, his voice losing its usual frivolous smile, "The Insect Emperor was sent by them to completely control the Insect Clan of the Southern Continent. On the first day he arrived, he killed the Insect King of that time. Under the suppression of his talent, all of us Insect Clans had no choice but to obey his orders. We also don't know his specific identity, but his status in the Star Swirl Insect Nest should not be low."
Sang Luo weighed it for a moment. She is now a True Emperor Rank. She may not be able to defeat top experts, but she definitely has the power to protect herself.
"Tell me your plan first."
"Hehe~ Little Chili is indeed straightforward, very likable, please come with me." Shi Yi led her towards the inner hall.
Sang Luo followed behind him, "…Can you stop calling me Little Chili? Who told you my name was Little Chili?"
"Ah~ Don't you think you're like a little chili~ When you're happy, you're a sweet pepper, and when you're angry, you're a little chili. Everyone who meets you gets burned, and no one can afford to provoke you~"
"…That metaphor is too strange, don't call me that anymore."
"Alright, then I'll call you Luo Luo."
"Forget it, whatever, I won't have a third meeting with you anyway."
Shi Yi smiled and didn't say anything. He took a few steps forward and reached out to twist a seemingly decorative mechanism on the table.
The wall opened.
The two walked into a secret room.
There were many bottles and jars in the secret room, as well as rows of precision instruments and cavity containers, four or five meters high. The metal layers were opened, and all of them were made of transparent glass. Various strange-shaped Insect Clans were soaking in the containers, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
Sang Luo looked surprised, "What are these?"
"The experimental base set up by those guys in the Southern Continent, wanting to cultivate more Insect Clan warriors for their use." Shi Yi took a bracelet and handed it to her, "The Insect Clans living in the Star Swirl Insect Nest all have an exclusive identity bracelet, which is both a pass to enter the territory and a necessity for settling down there. This is an identity bracelet that I have specially modified, which can disguise your identity and most likely help you avoid identity screening and successfully infiltrate the Insect Nest."
"Most likely?"
Shi Yi smiled and said, "A theoretical product that no one has personally tested yet. There is a chance of being discovered, which cannot be ruled out."
"Then what if I'm discovered? Do you have any remedies here?"
"No, but even if you are discovered, I believe that with Little Chili's ability, you can protect yourself and escape successfully."
…
In the mottled starry sky, a spaceship was experiencing space jumps and traveling at a constant speed.
After the spaceship left, a planet exploded, and the brilliant fire announced the end of the celestial body.
Sang Luo hid in a box in the spaceship's warehouse. She carefully used her mental power to investigate the situation.
People inside the spaceship walked back and forth.
They were wearing special uniforms, and their figures were extremely tall and straight, almost all over two meters. Their shapes were slightly different from the Beastmen, and their skin colors were also different, with a huge difference.
Their pupils had no whites, their ears were pointed, they had tentacles on their heads, and their palms and soles were in a state similar to beastification, like they were covered with a layer of hard iron.
These were all Void Rending Insect Clans, and their strength was at least at the King Rank.
One of the Insect Clans wore a slightly different uniform from the others, and seemed to be the captain of this fleet.
He held a sphere emitting a bright light in his hand, which was the energy crystal left by the celestial body after they destroyed the planet.
Shi Yi, as the Insect King of the Southern Continent, had a transaction with the Void Insect Clan. He found a reason to let an Insect Clan warship in the nearby star field come over to pick up the goods, so that Sang Luo could take the opportunity to hide in the goods and be transported onto the spaceship by those Insect Clans—taking the spaceship to the Star Swirl Insect Nest.
Along the way, Sang Luo saw these Insect Clans destroy several small planets.
Their purpose was to obtain the energy crystals left after the destruction of these celestial bodies.
In their opinion, the energy crystal nuclei left after the explosion of lifeless small planets were the lowest grade. The larger the planet, the greater the energy contained in the crystals left behind.
Among them, the crystal nuclei left after the explosion of planets that had nurtured life were the most precious and powerful.
Planets with life were extremely rare.
Once discovered by the Insect Clan, they would do everything possible, burning, killing, and looting.
They did not care about the life forms on the planets at all, like insane cosmic robbers, destroying planets and plundering energy.
Sang Luo personally witnessed the Insect Clan destroy a planet with life characteristics, her heart trembling frantically. She cursed these robbers fiercely in her heart, and at the same time, she vaguely guessed deep in her heart—was the purpose of these Insect Clans eyeing the Beast World Continent also to plunder the world's energy?!
She heard the Insect Clans outside talking intermittently.
She didn't understand the language of the Void Insect Clan. Only when she turned on the translator on the bracelet did the voices of those Insect Clans become clear.
"The Land of Divine Grace is really coveted…"
"It's a pity that that place is different from these ordinary planets, protected by the power of Divine Grace, and cannot be directly destroyed."
"Why doesn't the above directly send troops to attack?"
"There are many strong people with cosmic abilities in that place, and their strength is no less than that of our Insect Clan. If we go there, we may not be able to gain any advantage."
"But it's almost time. The Insect Clan deployed in the Land of Divine Grace is almost ready. As long as those people above detonate that planet, the energy crystal will still be ours…"
These lunatics!
They really have their eyes on the Beast World Continent!
The spaceship returned and went back to the Star Swirl Insect Nest.
A group of tall and strong Insect Clansmen carried the transported energy goods down.
Sang Luo curled up in the box, her eyes were dark, she couldn't see anything, she could only feel her body bumping, being lifted up, and then put down.
"Bang!"
