I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Chapter 611: Chapter 444: Ancient Insect VS 12 Mother Worms_2

“Lord Ancient Worm?” Lu Yuan greeted the dark shadow.

[Yes, it’s me. You humans…truly a vibrant civilization.] The Ancient Worm slowly revealed its form, it was crouching here all along, observing the human fortresses!

“Roar!!” The Little Mirage Dragon was extremely joyful, yet carried a hint of respect as it playfully flew through the air.

This black beetle under the sunlight, emitted a dazzling black halo, with its Holy Giant Horns gleaming darkly and six robust insect legs, one must admit, its appearance was definitely top-notch.

While the other three Worm Kings felt a pressuring aura of a superior, as if a certain gene deep in their bloodline was suppressing them.

For a moment, they were so nervous that they couldn’t even speak!

[These few, are they your subordinates?]

[Not bad, they look pretty clever, much smarter than the Worm Kings from the underground.] The Ancient Worm still spoke in a condescending tone, [Climb onto my back, we’ll head to the underground together.]

“Senior, how much will it cost?” Lu Yuan hastily asked, “Our Insect Race doesn’t have much property.”

“Lord Ancient Worm,” the three cunning Worm Kings actually started begging miserably on the ground, “Our entire family is penniless! Our property is counted separately from the humans, we really don’t have much money!”

The Little Mirage Dragon nodded earnestly, feeling the same way in its heart: “Roar roar!”

Lu Yuan began to calculate quickly: from the Green Grass Civilization, to the Opium poppy, and the Conch’s mother… the Insect Race is poor indeed.

Then he flattered the incredibly powerful “Primordial Worm” excessively!

[Hmm…it does sound quite pitiful. So these insects are foreigners.] The Ancient Worm felt immensely pleased by their extreme flattering, thinking how skillful these clever foreign insects are at bootlicking.

It’s like how people love watching videos of foreigners being shocked… well, insects and humans aren’t that different after all.

Changing the subject, the Ancient Worm said, [I’ve heard that recently, there was a robber in the Insect Nest, who stole a lot of precious mushrooms.]

Lu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, you’re not thinking of investigating something, are you?

It isn’t supposed to concern you, right?

[I don’t want anything from you, just give me some of those vitality-boosting mushrooms. Because for the thing you want to accomplish, it’ll take my… Life Essence!]

[Just give me a little bit of the mushrooms, and I’ll help you enhance them.]

Suddenly, Lu Yuan became petrified, his soul crying out in agony, those were his earthly treasures!

But at this moment, there was nothing he could do, he cautiously took out five boxes, each containing an ugly pink mushroom that looked like meat Ganoderma, yet their effects drove countless males wild.

[Is that all?] The Ancient Worm was skeptical.

“How much do you think I robbed… The insects in the cracks are all ordinary Immortals, they embezzle and then blame it on me,” Lu Yuan said dryly, his neck defiant.

Well, he only handed over a small portion, and he absolutely wouldn’t part with the rest even if it killed him.

[It’s barely enough.] It spoke in an immensely aged tone as if it was about to undertake a very difficult and sacred task, swallowing the contents along with the box, which made Lu Yuan wince in pain, my Tree of Life box!

Then the Ancient Worm quickly lead them to climb downwards.

The speed was like a bolt of lightning, as if no one was around.

Due to the authority of a superior, not even insects came to attack.

Descending further, the air grew increasingly hotter.

The path chosen by the Ancient Worm was very peculiar.

The cracks seemed alive, automatically widening as the Ancient Worm moved through and then closing up behind him, even healing completely without leaving a trace!

In this case, “Greedy Demon God” could search for a lifetime and still never find this path.

“I told you, where all those Mother Worms have been hiding…” Lu Yuan murmured in his heart, “So they were in the rocks.”

However, this time, he didn’t bring the “Greedy Demon God.”

If he had brought him, the Ancient Worm wouldn’t have wanted to bring him down.

Soon, the group arrived at a place filled with red Crystal Stones, all Inferior Grade and Ordinary Level ores, roughly estimated at thousands of Spirit Essences… too bad, it had nothing to do with humans.

The air was filled with a strange, fungal scent.

Pairs of burning red eyes glanced at them faintly.

“This is… the Lower Qiankun of the Ancient Demon, the last Grotto Heaven?”

“So huge!” Lu Yuan raised his head, looking incredulously around him, this Grotto Heaven might even be larger than that of the Underground Alliance, with no end in sight.

Unexpectedly, it was obtained by the Insect Race, this Ancient Insect really is untrustworthy.

On the walls were placed a large number of crystal clear Insect Eggs, totaling tens of millions, constantly wriggling, each emitting a vigorous life force.

A large number of “Worker Ant Worms” bustled about, moving the nearly matured Insect Eggs out.

[You guys come down first, hide in the corner.]

Lord Ancient Worm emitted a sharp chirping sound.

[Beep—Beep—]

[I… I’m back! Are you all okay?]

Suddenly, 12 enormous insects, with centipede shapes, but their sizes reached thousands of meters, having hundreds of thousands of legs!

There were those with snail shapes, their snail shells like a huge mountain.

There were also slug shapes, praying mantis shapes, bee shapes…

Each one’s size was earth-shattering, even larger than the Ancient Insect.

These 12 fellows all stared over, Lu Yuan was truly horrified, after all, he still had a human body, how could he fight these creatures?

Even secretly conducting a reconnaissance, only showing data that read [Consumption Required: ???].

“So the 12 Mother Worms all reside in Lower Qiankun,” murmured Lu Yuan.

“Lower Qiankun, close to the bladder, this is indeed a good place for childbirth…”

[Beep!] The Ancient Insect roared and charged forward, entangling fiercely in a battle with the 12 huge insects.

Meanwhile, Little Mirage Dragon activated the Mirage Space, protecting everyone.

It couldn’t help but shed tears; the old predecessor fighting like this for them, it was clearly to enhance the Insect Clan Army, such a noble spirit of sacrifice! The three Worm Kings were also trembling, as if they had witnessed a miracle.

But Lu Yuan quickly noticed something amiss and covered his eyes.

“Damn it, so these Mother Worms are all your wives… no wonder you didn’t let me capture one…”

“What’s wrong with me controlling one?”

Lu Yuan also realized why the Ancient Insect was so terrified, because the characteristic “Sexual Cannibalism” seemed to be retained in the rules of the Mother Worms—before, after, or even during mating, the female would devour the male it mated with.

They were truly battling for their lives, and the entire Grotto Heaven was slightly trembling.

This battle, shocking the heavens and moving the spirits, even wore down the Great Dao.

Three days later, the Ancient Insect, exhausted, its body full of pits and hollows, and the hard shell was missing several pieces.

While the 12 Mother Worms, also seemed like they had expended all their energy, their eyes becoming tender and affectionate…

The Ancient Insect said: [Foreign insects wanting to gain reproductive abilities, think of a way… it’s my plea.]

12 huge shadows discerned them for a long time, even the giant centipede’s face almost close up to their bodies—making Lu Yuan tremble in terror, that robber was the Greedy Demon God, what does it have to do with me, Lu Yuan?

Fortunately, the Ancient Insect kept the secret for him, these Mother Worms discerned for quite some time, but ultimately couldn’t discern anything.

They let out strange roars.

Translated by the Ancient Insect: [Let your subordinates, dismantle the superfluous organs on their bodies, we need… Green Grass People’s bloodline.]

[Your insects, all have grown up according to the Green Grass People’s bloodline.]

“Alright…”

Those three Worm Kings were also tough, directly detaching their arms and legs.

And Lu Yuan, from the Storage Space, took out some carcasses, all were insect soldiers who had died in past battles.

These Mother Worms didn’t hesitate, immediately dividing and eating them, then entering a long incubation period.
