Chapter 743: Chapter 359 A Great Source of Life! (Two in One)_1
Upon hearing such a modest request, Chen Mo immediately grinned and agreed, “Of course, there is no problem. How many do you need?”
“We need fifty worker ants, ten soldier ants, and one Elite Level Bug Soldier.”
“Forgive my curiosity, but what can you study by taking these young bugs back?”
“According to some methods recorded by our ancestors, we can try to use this research to develop a Bug Clan’s Queen. It’s just a guess, and we haven’t tested it yet, since we’ve never found suitable material.” The Lord of Huangfeng Village was quite honest, saying whatever came to mind.
“I see. That’s certainly not an issue.”
As the Lord of Huangfeng Village finished speaking, The Heavenly Path’s Hint promptly sounded in Chen Mo’s ears, informing him about the quest related to their request for the young bugs.
Chen Mo turned to Evia beside him and said, “Xiao Ya, from those young bugs you collected earlier, take out the three types the Clan Chief mentioned and give them to him.”
“Yes.” Evia respectfully nodded.
Immediately, a slit opened on her abdomen, and three different types of bugs suddenly crawled out.
First, a group of small, nimble bugs crawled out from the opening. They were entirely green, with long antennae and six agile legs. These worker ants seemed very busy. Upon emerging, they quickly dispersed, preparing to gather surrounding resources to construct peculiar structures. These worker ants were Evia’s construction and repair specialists, creating temporary bases for her that allowed the Bug Clan to operate more safely within a stable Bug Clan nest. Worker ants were not only responsible for construction; they were also adept at gathering and transport, carrying small backpacks that could hold necessary tools and materials.
Next, several larger bugs with hard exoskeletons and sharp claws crawled out from the opening. Their bodies displayed deep green and brown markings, providing excellent camouflage. These soldier ants had sharp, yellow eyes that conveyed ferocity and a readiness to fight. As soon as they emerged, they quickly gathered around Evia, like an indestructible fighting force, prepared to protect her from any threat.
Finally, an unusual bug crawled out from the opening. It was slightly larger with a more slender body, adorned with deep green and golden markings. Its eyes were soft yet intelligent, unlike the dull demeanor of the other two types of bugs. This Praetorian Bug Soldier was clearly more intelligent. It had a special connection with Evia and, upon emerging, immediately began to fly around her, constantly vigilant in guarding her safety.
At a casual gesture from Evia, these bugs, which had been ready to perform their respective duties, immediately and obediently scurried behind the Lord of Huangfeng Village.
Witnessing this, the Lord of Huangfeng Village was overjoyed.
“Thank you for your generous gift. I will now gather our villagers to condense the Source of Life for you. Please wait a moment.”
Seeing Chen Mo so readily give him the many bugs he desired, the Lord of Huangfeng Village felt he had struck gold.
You see, the worker ants and soldier ants of the Bug Clan are relatively easy to catch, but Guard-level bugs are not so easy to capture. These Guard-level bugs often possess Divine Power even higher than that of the Bug Clan’s Queen herself. Moreover, these bugs possess high combat intelligence and are extremely powerful. That’s one thing. Secondly, even if you can defeat them, they, like the Bug Clan’s Queen, would rather die than surrender. If they cannot win a fight, they will choose to self-destruct.
Ordinary bugs don’t self-destruct, mainly because a typical Bug Clan’s Queen cannot imbue every bug with that capability. After all, producing bugs consumes the Bug Clan’s Queen’s Energy. The simpler and more basic the bugs produced, the less Energy is consumed. From the Bug Clan’s Queen’s perspective, granting worker ants and soldier ants the ability to self-destruct is largely unnecessary. This is because if a target’s Divine Power exceeds 100 points, these lesser bugs cannot affect them at all. Regardless of whether they self-destruct or use other abilities, their efforts are futile.
It is precisely for this reason that the Bug Clan’s Queen finds it uneconomical to grant abilities to low-Divine Power “trash” bugs. Therefore, these “trash” bugs are easy to catch, while high-tier bugs are very difficult to capture.
Now, Evia had directly gifted them a Praetorian-level bug. This was a treasure they couldn’t normally even dream of acquiring. No wonder the Clan Chief was so ecstatic.
They had waited many years for the chance to develop their own Bug Clan’s Queen, based on a secret treasure left by their ancestors. Now that the opportunity had finally arrived, what was a mere Source of Life in comparison?
Very quickly, the Lord of Huangfeng Village gathered everyone in the village. He had them contribute their Source of Life.
The Source of Life they contributed this time was on a completely different level compared to what the Maji Village Residents had offered. The Maji Village Residents had only contributed enough Source of Life to leave them weakened for a few days. The people of Huangfeng Village, however, contributed a substantial amount of their Source of Life, enough that it would take them at least a year and a half to recover.
This showed just how grateful they were to Chen Mo for providing these bugs.
Soon, Chen Mo saw the already sallow and emaciated Lord of Huangfeng Village approaching with unsteady steps, feebly holding a sphere of light that pulsed with incredibly potent and pure Energy.
Evia immediately ordered the nearby bugs to help support him.
