Chapter 714 - 336: Fifth Tier! Unrivaled Across the World!

Edge of the Poisonous Miasma Forest

Dark tides spread towards the core, composed of a swarm of Insect Race worker insects, advancing in several rows like layers of waves.

As they crawl, they munch on dried branches, leaves, remnants of flesh, and don’t even spare the soil and stones, grinding all nutritious substances into bits and pressing them into mycelium for nutrients, continuously delivering them to the core zone of a small insect nest.

Currently, a small insect nest core has been built inside the Poisonous Miasma Forest. The core is connected to the Divine Monarch’s spirit will, and an underground channel has opened up, allowing for rapid resource exchange.

—Team Channel—

Divine Monarch: @Short-tailed Cat @Other Shore, keep pushing yourselves, the new core also needs construction. Expand our Insect Race forces a bit more, and also build some defensive structures.

Broken Star: Add more evolution chambers, the probability of researching the Ancient God resistance genes is too low.

Short-tailed Cat: You wouldn’t be thinking of...

Other Shore: ?

Broken Star: As long as we load genes onto the Insect Race, I can draw in the Power of the Ancient God from the Ancient Divine Realm to cover the base. By then, the enemies won’t be able to attack, and even just breathing will lead to erosion, ensuring security.

Short-tailed Cat: But what about our safety?

Other Shore: Am I going to die too?

Broken Star: I’ll add magic blessings to you. The Power of the Ancient God won’t have an erosion effect on you, so there won’t be any issues.

Other Shore: That’s good.

Qing Yu: [Whip Image.JPG]

Qing Yu: Don’t slack off, hurry up with the infrastructure! If due to laziness we lose at the start line, can you bear the responsibility? Wouldn’t your conscience hurt?

Short-tailed Cat: !

Other Shore: Damn you...

Other Shore: Our core insect nest is advancing to the Fifth Stage now. Other forces can barely reach the Fourth Stage, how can they catch up with us? Do you think everyone is as wealthy as we are?

Yuan Chu: I’ve cleared out all settlements below Dominator Level in the surrounding area. Dominator Level units are scarce, hardly found, just a few sporadic Dominators.

Yuan Chu: @Short-tailed Cat, I’ve dispatched the Insect Race army for the encirclement, remember to use worker insects to clean up.

Short-tailed Cat: I’ve truly become a model worker... can’t you just teleport back?

Frost Moon: Efficiency is too low. If there’s time to send back combat units, it’s better used for exploring more areas. If the Insect Race army is left unused, it’s wasted. Better to directly handle these Dominators, and directing the worker insects is up to you, it doesn’t require much maneuvering.

Qing Yu: I have a mining point here, you could lend a hand. Which building can mine again? Forget it, can’t remember, you take over.

Short-tailed Cat: Ah ah ah!

....

As time goes on, the consumption of Starshard by the insect nest core hasn’t sped up but slowed down significantly.

This is because the power of the Insect Race has grown, speeding up resource acquisition. After absorbing the Poisonous Miasma Forest’s Fanged Beast alliance and four mining points, resource output has increased steadily.

"No, still not enough, the current resources are only temporarily enough to maintain Fourth Stage consumption. The insect nest will soon advance to the Fifth Stage, and monster carcasses inside the Poisonous Miasma Forest will be depleted soon."

Ye Mingqiu muttered to himself, his eyes gradually lighting up with a sharp cold gleam.

This is what every Insect Race force controller must face, the balance of Insect Race expenses only exists after a war. If wars cease, the development speed of the Insect Race will drastically drop.

The special Dragon army is indeed strong, performing quite well on frontline battlefields, even capable of piling up against top powerhouses.

But Ye Mingqiu isn’t satisfied.

Because he has eleven camps worth of enemies

Though there’s no direct opposition yet, if they discover his insect nest developing at such a rapid pace, they’d definitely form a coalition and attack eleven-on-one, otherwise, the Insect Race would eventually overtake them.

’I don’t even know how strong those enemies are.’

Ye Mingqiu narrowed his eyes.

Logically, to dare participate in the highest difficulty trials, their team’s comprehensive power mustn’t be weak. They must at least have some confidence they can handle it, else it’s better to opt for lower-tier trials.

Other forces’ top powerhouses likely possess Over-Specification Dominator strength, possibly reaching Authority Deity Level, exceptionally strong powers.

Moreover...

This is a Level 5 world, the inherent strength of the world isn’t weak. The Insect Race force only developed to the Fourth Stage, yet a Dominator insect appeared, though not a Top Dominator, it’s a crucial signal.

If the force develops robustly, it’s possible for numerous Dominator powerhouses to emerge.

Currently, the world channel is very quiet, only ordinary members are chatting, and their words contain no critical information, clearly showing restraint.

Even so, Ye Mingqiu still managed to glean some relatively important intel: the number of other team forces is quite large, core members are around ten or more, formal members are approximately dozens, with the number of external personnel unclear, presumably not few either.

—World Channel—

Hong Ling (Fire of Embers): Oh my, so much work today, feels like I’m going to exhaust myself.

Other Shore (Hunting God): Absolutely, some people up top are just brutes, so ruthless when bossing others around, it’s infuriating.

Short-tailed Cat (Hunting God): So true!

Short-tailed Cat (Hunting God): Brutes!

Hong Ling (Fire of Embers): I think you two aren’t simple either.
