Novel Full Chapter 589: Poison in the Gourd
Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Poison in the Gourd
The flying insects previously swallowed by the Netherworld Abyss reappeared from the Gate of the Undead.
Since the living Insect Race can only obey the Queen of the Insect Nest, why can’t I, Lin Yi, take another path by killing them first and then controlling them?
After the space beside Lin Yi twisted, two young girls dressed in black dresses appeared side by side.
“Lin Yi, your courage is truly impressive, venturing alone into the one-way Space Channel leading to a star system full of insects. Admirable.”
The set of twin sisters in matching outfits were incredibly adorable. In this desolate Insect Hive Star, having the company of these two sisters was a kind of solace.
Lin Qianqian, who stayed in the Undead Space with Lin You, witnessed Lin Yi’s growth.
Personally seeing Lin Yi risking everything in a life-or-death battle with the Divine Envoy to keep his promise.
No matter how dismissive of humans she used to be, at this moment Lin Qianqian realized that Lin Yi was no ordinary person. Therefore, her former resistance to Lin You treating Lin Yi as a master dissipated, and her attitude towards Lin Yi greatly improved.
Lin Yi didn’t take Lin Qianqian’s compliments to heart.
It was rather timely that Lin You’s twin sisters came out.
“Right, you girls arrived just in time; there’s something I need you to do.”
As the Undead Monarch, Lin You controlling the Undead Creatures was much easier than for Lin Yi.
Having Lin You lead the Undead Creatures to fight the Insect Race on the Nest Insect Star to ensure that the Spirit Crystal collects data smoothly would be a wise choice.
As for Lin Qianqian, leading the tamed Insect Race in exploration wasn’t a difficult task for her either.
If the three acted together, the efficiency would increase significantly.
The two sisters had no complaints about the tasks assigned by Lin Yi and immediately set to work, while Lin Yi continued forward.
The words of the Queen of the Insect Nest lingered in Lin Yi’s mind.
In terms of solo combat, Lin Yi was not afraid of the Queen of the Insect Nest. Even without facing her directly, Lin Yi was quite confident that the battle would be overwhelmingly in his favor.
With intelligence comparable to humans, the Queen of the Insect Nest surely knew this.
To ensure everything was foolproof, Lin Yi planned to give the Queen of the Insect Nest a surprise.
Calling upon the Gale Wings, Lin Yi sped across the sky of the Nest Insect Star.
The Eye of All-Seeing maintained its maximum power to find powerful Insect Race members for his use.
Lin Yi’s actions remained swift.
Even the Insect Race, creatures with keen senses, couldn’t fend off Lin Yi’s stealth attacks.
But as he collected them, Lin Yi discovered something strange.
Logically, having crossed galaxies to reach the Nest Insect Star, Lin Yi should have been frantically hunted by the Insect Race.
Yet, causing all this commotion, no Insect Race creatures took the initiative to attack him.
With the Queen of the Insect Nest’s pride, how could she allow Lin Yi to wreak havoc on her territory?
Unfortunately, the memory reading effect of the Touch of Reincarnation had no effect on these low-intelligence beings.
Other than collecting the conquered insects into the Undead Space, Lin Yi couldn’t make any further effective moves.
While advancing, the Eye of All-Seeing captured a nest of Corpse Bone Ants.
These ants were gigantic, with even the common workers over three meters long.
They emitted a nauseating stench of decay, and their ferocious appearance gave an extremely evil impression.
They were entirely different from the ants on Blue Star. Here, they only served the Queen of the Insect Nest, never producing a queen ant, solely transporting resources needed by the queen and being the nightmare of mammals on the Nest Insect Star.
But as they met Lin Yi’s gaze, they seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing in the world, instantly fleeing in madness, their massive bodies kicking up dust on the rugged terrain.
Lin Yi looked puzzled: Am I really that ugly?
Watching the Corpse Bone Ants scatter, Lin Yi chose not to pursue.
In his view, though these creatures were domineering, their strength was limited, not worth wasting energy to deliberately transform them into Undead Creatures.
Just as Lin Yi was about to delve deeper into the Nest Insect Star’s core, his attention was suddenly drawn to where the Corpse Bone Ants had started fleeing.
There, numerous mangled animal carcasses lay scattered, their blood long dried, forming dark red patches on the grayish land.
These animals had clearly been subjected to extremely cruel deaths, their limbs twisted, organs exposed, some even chewed beyond recognition.
Lin Yi frowned, slowly descended, and approached these remains.
He squatted down, carefully examining the wounds, and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Were these animal bodies really meant for consumption?
As the ruler of the Nest Insect Star, it’s understandable that the Queen of the Insect Nest would be the center of all insects and serviced by them.
But upon closer inspection, Lin Yi found that the time of death of these animals varied, with some wounds already rotting, emitting a foul stench, while others were relatively fresh, as if they had just died recently.
Even stranger, there were no obvious signs of fighting on the surrounding land, except for the panicked footprints of the fleeing Corpse Bone Ants, leaving no other suspicious traces.
Could the Queen of the Insect Nest with such an exalted status possibly eat rotting things?
But why were some of the animal bodies completely decayed, yet still left unaddressed?
While Lin Yi was deep in thought, a strange sensation suddenly arose from within his body.
When he looked inside with the Eye of All-Seeing, an unnerving scene played out before him.
Under the observation of the Eye of All-Seeing, enhanced by the Eyes of Golden Flame, Lin Yi clearly saw that his skin was densely covered with numerous tiny insect eggs.
These eggs could hatch in an instant, then start fiercely gnawing at his skin.
Some even burrowed through his orifices into his body.
They began feasting on Lin Yi’s internal organs.
At that moment, Lin Yi suddenly realized and admired the Queen of the Insect Nest’s ability and imagination.
Genetic modification of the Insect Race should be a skill possessed by every Insect Race Queen.
But the Insect Race Queens Lin Yi encountered before were not on the same level as the Queen of the Insect Nest.
With intelligence akin to humans, the Queen of the Insect Nest was indeed formidable.
She knew exactly how to play the game, and even Lin Yi acknowledged her as a worthy opponent.
When face-to-face confrontation wasn’t feasible, underhanded tactics were used. If not for his body’s unusual condition, Lin Yi might never have noticed the Queen of the Insect Nest’s schemes.
No, it should be said that the Queen of the Insect Nest had long anticipated the day when her territory would encounter an opponent she couldn’t directly overpower, thus devising such underhanded tactics.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel both expectant and grateful.
