Yatai Policy: The New Order of the Mainland

Chapter 924 The Hive (Part 2)

The Dark Forest was rich in elemental energy, and with Master Gongzhuang's careful guidance, Dolby's skills not only recovered to their original state but also improved.

However, ever since she planned to self-destruct outside Zovka City, this third senior sister's determination to fight to the death had never waned. The reason she dared to attack the wasp was twofold: first, she realized that the opponent was probably not the real person but merely an illusionary projection, and therefore its strength was inevitably limited; second, she was also determined to fight to the death.

To Dolby's relief, Fuyao's idea of ​​"throwing a stone at a rat while fearing the tiger's back" at the crucial moment not only completely diverted the wasps' attention but also made them hesitant to attack, fearing damage to the eggs and thus not daring to go all out.

These so-called insect eggs had extremely hard shells, their surfaces flowing with amber-colored energy. Within them, one could vaguely see some kind of slumbering creature. Their heads were three or four times larger than humans, with long antennae extending backward from their ears. Although their limbs were curled up, their reverse joint structures were clearly visible. The monster had no eyes or nose, only a vertical scar on its forehead, which pulsated incessantly, as if breathing. At its tail was a foot-long black spike, emitting an eerie and dangerous glow.

"Disgusting!" Dolby cursed as she frantically stabbed the insect egg with her dagger, but despite her best efforts, she could only leave a white dot on its shell.

"So many insect eggs, how long will it take to kill them all? Are you keeping all those treasures to be buried with you?!" Fu Yao, who had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for a chance to escape, finally couldn't help but speak up again to remind him.

A single word awakens one from a dream! In the Yatai Continent, besides being outstanding in metal-based infusion techniques, Senior Sister Dolby's infusion tools are also known for being incredibly diverse and strange.

"Take this!" Without even looking at the swarming wasps, Dolby threw a red object with his backhand. It instantly opened up to reveal itself to be a spider web burning with fire energy.

Wasps have an innate fear of spider webs. Just as he was about to grab his enemy's back, he had to stop abruptly and first unleash several strands of energy to deal with the web.

However, the gaps in the spiderweb offered no leverage; it only slightly slowed the wasp's movement but still managed to entangle its arm. Moreover, the energy that pierced through it directly struck the insect eggs, instantly causing cracks to appear on their hard shells.

"Wasps are truly ruthless! They show no mercy even when killing their own offspring!" Dolby sneered, feeling extremely satisfied and finally able to vent her anger. At the same time, she increased the pressure on her hands, determined to break the egg through the crack and eliminate one of them first.

The wasp was furious, but the more he tried to break free from the spider web, the tighter it clung to him, and the flames that rose up made him feel a pain that seemed to originate from his very soul.

"Dare to oppose the ruler of this plane? I swear I will make all your relatives and friends die in regret!" the wasp cursed, then released its defenses, letting its body turn to ashes in the raging flames.

"Fuyao! There's no need to run away! Quickly go and help Yelu kill Parchi and Wilson, then we'll deal with these insect eggs together! Without backup, any schemes the wasps may have are in vain!" Dolby was overjoyed at the sight and hurriedly shouted to Fuyao, who was climbing towards the top of the cave using the grass and foliage.

Fu Yao kept moving, "I don't believe the wasps can be defeated so easily by us! As for Ye Luo, she is the most agile, it won't be difficult for her to escape! I advise you to take this opportunity to escape with me, this place is full of dangers, who knows what will happen in a while!" He shouted back, while climbing towards the exit even more diligently.

"Coward! Without the blessing of the divine core, that wasp can hardly show its true form. What happened just now was just an illusion! He was injured by my Heavenly Fiend Fire Net. He's not recovering quickly, you..." Dolby's angry rebuke was interrupted by a piercing pain. A sharp blade pierced through his back and emerged from his chest. The one who struck was the wasp that had reappeared.

At this moment, the wasp's figure was even more ethereal than before. He leaned close to Dolby's ear, feeling the other's increasingly weak heartbeat, and said through gritted teeth, "Although I am not a physical entity, I am more than enough to deal with you ants! Before you die, I will teach you a lesson. That is not an illusion, but a technique called 'Mirror Image'! Hahaha!" "Pfft!" Dolby, not wanting to be humiliated, suddenly severed his own heart meridian, spitting a mouthful of hot blood onto the shell of the insect egg.

"Sizzle..." Unexpectedly, the blood was suddenly absorbed by the insect eggs, and the vertical mark between the monster's eyebrows opened up.

"No!" the wasp exclaimed in alarm, quickly grabbing one of its claws onto the eggshell and channeling its dark energy into it, as if trying to soothe the larva.

"How disgusting! It's a pity that the final burial item was so tasteless! Sigh!" The third senior sister sighed helplessly, barely breathing, and then used her inner energy to self-destruct.

The high-level Injection Master's self-destruction contained world-destroying power. Even with the Wasp's abilities, he dared not withstand it head-on. Helpless, he used the momentum to be thrown away, watching helplessly as Dolby's body and the eggshell shattered together.

At the last moment, the vertical mark between the larva's brows finally opened, revealing a bizarre eye. The eye wasn't made of flesh and blood, but rather resembled a solidified, yellowish-purple gel, covered by a greasy, reflective film. Deep within the scarlet pupil weren't circles, but countless irregular, randomly shaped black dots, which were writhing and colliding, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

Those eyes stared coldly at Dolby's shattered form, their gaze heavy and tangible, carrying endless cruelty and malice. Every turn, every contraction and expansion of those eyes felt like a chilling blade scraping across the nerves of their opponent, conveying a pure, suffocating terror and despair. If you dared to meet their gaze, you would find that those eyes held no curiosity or questioning, never any observation; they only bore one emotion—devouring.

Unfortunately, the owner of such ferocious eyes did not live to see its birth. The outer shell shattered, the eyes only shone slightly before dimming, and the powerful, steel-like body softened, turning into a pool of yellowish-black slime in an instant.

"Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The wasp roared furiously, shaking the entire cave to the point of collapse.

"Still trying to run?!" He then spotted Fu Yao, who had already climbed to the cave entrance. That guy was the one who started it all.

The wasp leaped up like lightning and chased after Fu Yao.

"No!" Fu Yao cried out in terror, fleeing at breakneck speed. Just as he was about to be caught, seventy or eighty different kinds of magical artifacts blocked his way. They were the treasures from Senior Sister Dolby's bag, coming out to avenge their master.

Lightning, thunder, gale, torrential rain, flames, and flying rocks—a chaotic barrage of attacks, though no match for the wasp's overwhelming power, did slow his progress.

After a dozen or so breaths, the sounds of explosions, collisions, and energy surges finally ceased. As the dust settled, the wasp slowly descended to the bottom of the cave. "Take her to the headquarters of the Apocalypse Cult. Seal this place. From now on, no one is to open it without my order!" he commanded Parchi and the Poison Spirit Orb, his voice filled with overwhelming rage. Ye Luo, meanwhile, lay unconscious on the ground.

Dolby: It's still worthwhile! Hahaha!
