At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive...

Chapter 122 The evolutionary branch of egg cakes (please subscribe)

"A breakthrough?" Han Ning's expression changed.

Enveloped by the halo, Egg Pan's body began to slowly grow in size.

It didn't stop changing until it grew to nearly 1.8 meters.

The light dissipated.

The wounds caused by the previous soul skills disappeared.

Although the rock-like skin looks unpretentious, it gives people a strong sense of security.

Clang, Clang, Clang~

The venom of the entry level IV hit the egg pancake's body, suddenly shattering and exploding into large purple droplets.

However... Even if Omelette succeeds in advancing, he has just entered Entry IV. Facing the crazy attacking mushroom heads of the same level, after a while, dense small scratches appeared on his body.

Omelette slowly held her paw, as if feeling the power rushing through her body.

Han Ning saw mud pouring out from all over its body and quickly gathering between its claws.

"Chiho!"

Omelette clenched her claws, the thick mud at the tips of her claws rolled, and punched out.

puff puff~

Brown-black mud spurted out from the tips of Omelette's claws like a fountain, instantly enveloping everything in front of it in the mud and causing it to fall heavily to the ground.

Egg Pancake took this opportunity, raised its stocky hind limbs, stood upright, and stepped hard on the ground!

Put your feet on the ground and take a few steps forward.

The sharp claws left a faint trace of khaki light in the air.

Puff puff!

A dull collision sounded.

The next second, except for the entry level IV mushroom head, there were only mushroom heads wrapped in mud and unable to move.

The egg cake suddenly stopped in front of the entry IV mushroom head that was imprisoned by a large amount of mud, stretched out its claws with yellow light, and tore forward.

A purple mushroom cap flew into the air, and translucent liquid splashed three feet like a fountain.

"Okay, Omelette, come back."

"It's entry level IV. You should be able to reach the limit in the next two days and start preparing to evolve."

The mushroom forest was not a safe place. Han Ning and the two soul beasts quickly cleaned up the battlefield and retreated quickly.

……

In less than half an hour, they returned to the academy area smoothly.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the dormitory area, I saw the door of Building A crowded with people, looking very lively.

"What happened?" With some curiosity, he squeezed into the crowd.

In the open space at the door, there was an ugly-looking insect man, whose body was covered with vines, leaving only a pair of black insect limbs with three branches.

At this moment, he was holding an insect flute that looked like a branch in his hands and was playing it gently.

One meter in front, there was an insect with fiery red light shining at the end of its body. It was about 50 centimeters long and looked like a firefly. Infected by the sound of the flute, it was flying in circles a few dozen centimeters above the ground. .

This time, the sound emanating from the insect flute was not as dizzying as the previous times.

There was nothing unusual except that the tone was still weird.

Lena, who had blond hair in a bun and light wrinkles on her face, stood next to the insect man and followed suit, holding an insect flute and playing slowly.

In front of her, there was a slightly smaller red firefly.

Under the influence of Lena's flute, this firefly became less obedient. Instead, it scurried around a 3-meter area like a headless fly.

"Is the insect man willing to teach Lena how to play the flute?" Han Ning saw this scene and walked to Lu Xiuning, who was in charge of guarding, and asked in a low voice.

"Haha, the more intelligent creatures are, the more they are afraid of death. Under the threat of death, they don't want to teach, but they have to teach." Lu Xiuning smiled coldly, his eyes fixed on the insect man playing the flute, without moving away even an inch. .

Although the insect man is obedient now, you must know that two days ago, he was commanding the insect swarm and the culprit of killing dozens of anemone trees.

"Lena has obtained a lot of useful information from the bugmen in the past two days. We will discuss it in detail after they finish playing the flute."

"it is good."

Ten minutes later, the flute music was played, and the buggers were escorted back to the quiet room where they were kept and locked up.

Han Ning and others came to the conference room in Building A again.

There were still a dozen or so people from last time.

There were more than a dozen pieces of paper on the table in front of Lena.

She picked up the top one, coughed slightly, and said, "After further communication with the insect people in the past two days, it was concluded that part of the information deduced on the first day was wrong."

"The beings above the insect-men are not limited to commanding only one tribe or village, but also command 2-3 insect-man gathering places with hundreds of people."

"My inference was wrong. When the insect people point at slaves, it does not mean that they are real slaves in their social structure. It is more of a kind of worship and fear of the strong."

"In fact, the three insect people we captured still have a certain status in the tribe. Not all insect people can use the sound of the flute to direct the insect swarms to fight. Only a small number of insect people with spiritual talents can. Do it.”

So that's it... If every bug-man is so powerful, then our hope of survival will be slim...

Han Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

But he didn't wait for him to finish breathing.

Lena observed the expressions of everyone present, and her expression suddenly became serious:

"But...it doesn't mean we are safe."

"In each tribe of about 200-500 people, there are 5-10 insect-men who can control the insect swarm. They are the direct subordinates of the leader. These people we met are all the elites of a tribe."

"The leader will patrol back and forth between several tribes every once in a while. According to one of the insect men, it will take about one to two months for the leader to patrol their tribe,"

"Where are the other ordinary bugmen? If they find that the guardian of the tribe suddenly disappears, won't they go to the leader and report it?" Han Ning asked aloud.

"Most likely not. I don't understand this point. The general meaning is that ordinary insect people are just like us ordinary humans. They are very weak. They only bear the task of reproducing and raising insect swarms in the tribe. They are more like advanced ones. The captive animals are kept in an area by the leader.”

Han Ning frowned: "What are you doing with a group of useless people?"

"Cultivate the swarm, use the power of the swarm, collect the black worms we encountered, make a pungent liquid, and hand it to the leader."

Lena looked at the paper and said:

"In addition, from my observations in the past few days, I found that these insect people cannot actually sign a contract with the soul beasts. Even the most powerful insects you encountered are all gathered from the resources of a tribe. They work together to raise elite insects, and they use special methods to provide for these insects and at the same time exchange for their protection."

"What about the leader?"

"The leader... doesn't have complete information. He may be able to sign a contract with a soul beast just like us."

"According to the translation of the insect language, they call their leader - insect master."

<divclass="contentadv"> "And those insect-men who obey the command of the insect master and can play the flute are called insect servants."

"As for the ordinary insect-men at the bottom, they might be insect slaves..." Liena was a little unsure.

"Insect Master..." Han Ning fell into silence.

"All the tribe's techniques for raising insects come from insect masters. They are mysterious and unusual, and even insect servants rarely see their faces with their own eyes."

"Then...if we use the insect master's technology to cultivate insects, wouldn't we be suppressed by the insect master in the event of a fight?" Dean Wu asked.

Lena nodded:

"Well, there is a high probability, but we can use the insect swarm to collect resources first, as you said. These insect servants have not signed a contract with the insects, so they can still command them."

"Have you ever asked how many insect tribes there are in this wilderness?" Lu Xiuning said suddenly.

"I asked... and their answer was... countless? Maybe it means very many, too many to count."

"How far is their tribe from us?" Han Ning continued to ask.

Liena took out the map drawn by the bugmen, spread it out, pointed to the northwestmost part of the map, and said: "The scale of this map is about 1:30 kilometers. The bugman ruins you discovered earlier are about two kilometers away from their tribe. A distance of hundreds of kilometers.”

"Combining your description and the information from the insect servant, that bloody grassland is actually equivalent to an insect training base shared by several tribes."

"And the ruins you entered are a temple created by the insect people to worship the gods."

"Will there be conflicts between the insect tribes?" someone asked again.

"Yes, tribes and tribes, and insect masters and insect masters, will all fight over resources." Liena said with certainty.

"I know a little bit about this aspect." Lu Xiuning put a waist bag that was 90% similar to Han Ning's waist on the table, and then took out a fist-sized, fiery red egg from it.

"This insect egg seems to be a precious resource that the insect people seized from other tribes of insect people, but it was captured by us."

"The two fireflies at the door just now are larvae that have just broken out of their eggs." Lena added.

The fiery red eggs emit a faint red glow under the blazing white light.

You can vaguely see a firefly curled up inside.

Listening to Liena's story, Han Ning gradually emerged in Han Ning's mind with a simple distribution diagram of insect social structure. He thought that the pungent liquid might help everyone improve their mental power quickly, so he asked:

"Ms. Lena, how much knowledge have we collected so far about insect cultivators?"

"I have just come into contact with it. Although the insect language is simple, it still takes time to learn. It may take at least ten days and a half to translate some text content relatively accurately."

"There's still a month left, and the insect master is likely to come and kill him..."

Until now, Han Ning still couldn't guess what level the insect master was at.

But judging from the fact that the insect servant can command the battle of awakened IV insects, the insect master can at least show extraordinary level of strength.

Not to mention the cunning means of manipulating insects.

"One month... is not long or short. We can only take it step by step. First complete the established plan and then look back."

Dean Wu's expression did not change much, but because he knew more information than the previous two days, the frown he always frowned eased a little.

……

in the afternoon.

Han Ning stood in the open space near the dormitory area, watching Yinyi and Egg Pancake having a violent battle.

"Jeep!"

Egg Pancake closed its forelimbs and received a light vine whip from Yin Yi. She retreated five or six meters before regaining her balance.

"Egg cake, try harder, haven't you eaten? Use all your strength. If you can leave a little mud stain on Yinyi's body, I will give you five cans of canned meat later."

"grumble!"

Upon hearing Han Ning's words, a dense earth-yellow light filled the tip of Egg Pancake's claws, and balls of mud appeared in its claws, and then continued to hit the silver ripples on the opposite side.

Yin Yi stretched out her hand a little.

Densely dense small flower thorns were instantly formed around it, rushing towards the flying mud bombs like a gust of wind.

Seeing that the sprayed mud couldn't hit Yinyi at all, Omelet simply stepped on it, like a young bull, and charged straight at Yinyi.

Although it is a soul beast that focuses on the physical body, Yinyi is two levels stronger than it. Just relying on ordinary vines can beat the egg cake to pieces.

"Chiwu~jiwu~"

The egg cake's progress was blocked by Yin Yi's whip shadow.

One after another, hard-to-see shadows kept hitting its body, and the egg pancake screamed in pain.

Gradually, there were more and more whip marks on the egg cake.

The wounds attached to the whip are difficult to heal, which greatly hinders the speed of Omelette's wound repair.

It didn't take long for the egg cake to be torn apart and turned into a big gecko dripping with blood.

"Okay, Yinyi, stop, or Omelet will really cry." Han Ning stopped Yinyi.

"Ji?" Egg Pan touched the blood stains on his face, feeling a little confused.

Who said I cried?

A thin vine wrapped around its body, a faint green light flashed, and the wound that had just been whipped was rapidly repairing.

"Sure enough, only in high-intensity fighting, when physical strength and spiritual energy are rapidly consumed, the energy is absorbed faster, and finally reaches the limit."

Han Ning looked at the egg cake panel:

[This soul beast has reached the first evolution standard. The swamp gecko has multiple evolutionary directions and needs to be chosen independently. 】

"Oh? I didn't expect Omelette to have a psychic branch..."

Han Ning scanned the panel of the egg cake.

It's just that... for the next two items, the qualifications for taking the spiritual evolutionary route were not as high as those for the physical one, so he gave up after just one glance.

There are a total of 2 words, which is exactly 10 chapters. However, 3 chapters are 2-in-, which feels a bit incoherent when separated.
