Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

Upon hearing Richard ask the question,

Gove answered very enthusiastically.

"Of course not these insects. Only my Amethyst Insects and Silver Demon Insects have the potential to reach the third-tier mature stage."

When Govy was studying at the Holy Knights Academy, she often played with mushrooms.

"I do know many kinds of mushroom-like insects, some with the potential to reach the third stage of maturity. There are many mushroom-like insects in this forest; I can recommend some..."

Richard never expected Goldie to be so loyal.

"Then tell me about it. Even if it's not suitable, I can still collect it..."

Govy recalled the mushroom worms she had played with.

"Then I'll take you to find the Weather Mushroom. It has the potential to reach level three maturity and can predict weather changes, which is very useful for establishing territory."

I have my own intelligence network, and besides, my primary target is definitely the Queen-level bug.

Richard, having considered this, declined.

"I don't need these kinds of tool-type bugs, which can be implanted in other members of the team."

Goldie nodded, agreeing with Richard's statement, and continued her recommendation.

"You want combat power? Then I'll take you to the Thousand-Refined Transformation Insect? It can transform you into an insect beast... It even has the potential to reach the fourth-tier complete form."

Richard asked with some anticipation, "This bug sounds really powerful! Can it transform into a Silverwing Hunter Bug?"

"Theoretically, yes! As long as you raise it to the fourth-order complete form, because the Silverwing Hunter Insect is a fourth-order complete insect beast."

In the memories inherited by Richard, the strength of a fourth-order complete being was extremely powerful.

So the Silverwing Hunter Insect is actually a fourth-tier fully evolved insect beast. No wonder Govi ​​couldn't defeat it.

"The cost of becoming fully evolved is too high! And I don't have the resources or time for that. Are there any insects that are easy to obtain, easy to train, and powerful?"

"You don't want this, you don't want that. Do you think powerful insects are like cabbages in a field?"

Although she was both pleased and dissatisfied with Richard, Goldie still prepared to find him suitable insects.

Who told me to lure the Silverwing Swarmer to his camp? I owe him...

A creaking sound began to echo through the mushroom forest at night...

It wasn't the Silverwing Hunter Bugs that arrived.

That's the sound of fallen leaves and branches on the ground being crushed after the plant fibers were absorbed by the mycelium.

By this time, the fifty-man pioneer team had dispersed and were keeping their distance from each other.

Use tools to collect those mushroom worms...

Because these insects are in a dormant period, they show no signs of waking up even when they are uprooted.

The insects in the mushroom forest are all these mushroom worms. During the gray snow season, they rely on spore-bearing worm eggs for protection.

However, humans developed masks, ignoring their survival mechanisms after they entered hibernation.

Insects can eat people, so people can naturally eat insects and utilize them...

Some mushroom worms, even if they don't have a high potential ceiling, are still very popular in the market.

For example, the second-tier potential Coral Mushroom Worm. Like a mushroom with a coral-like texture, it is extremely tough. Through reproduction and stacking, it can grow taller than a tree.

The Kingdom of Kiel was able to build colossal walls hundreds of meters high using these as its framework.

Then, the mucus secreted by second-order mud worms is used as natural cement.

For example, the Rubber Fungus Grass, although it only has first-tier potential, can be used to make natural rubber.

The second-stage potential of the Earth-Listening Fungus is similar to that of the ear; implantation can enhance hearing.

Red umbrella white stem mushroom, with the potential to reach maturity at stage three, eating it can make you see goddesses...

Richard watched the busy Trail Blazers.

After some thought, he decided to tell Govy the information about the Queen Bug.

[Because, logically, only one worm can be implanted in a human body] Richard wasn't afraid of her coveting it.

Moreover, Gove is a morally upright knight who is willing to sacrifice herself to save others.

"Govie, do you know what a queen-level insect is?"

"What is that? Have you gone mad from playing with insect girls? Where are the queens of insects?"

Even though there are many different kinds of insects in this world.

But Gove had never actually heard of any queen-level insects.

She ignored Richard and continued searching for rare insects...

It is said that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune.

Not long after, Govi ​​actually found one of the Thousand-Refined Transformation Insects that was in hibernation!

She is also a kind of mushroom worm.

It has a thick, pink stem and a cap that is about the same thickness as the stem.

Even if she were to be implanted with the ability to become a Silverwing Insect Hunter, it would require a huge amount of resources.

However, resources can be accumulated slowly, and once trained, they become a very powerful fighting force.

Moreover, insects with the potential to reach the fourth tier of complete evolution are extremely rare and valuable; they shouldn't be let go no matter what...

Even if the Thousand-Refined Insect is in a dormant period, it poses little threat.

Govi still covered her entire body with the amethyst armor; no amount of caution was too much outside the wall.

They grabbed the stem of the mycelium, which had undergone countless transformations, but couldn't pull it out.

"No! It's too deep!"

She cursed under her breath and conjured a shovel...

They dug out the unruly mushroom worm in one go.

Suddenly, the Thousand-Refined Transformation Insect began to vibrate violently, emitting a buzzing sound.

She's awake!

Gove was grumbling and cursing...

Purple tentacles sprouted from her hands, wrapping around the Thousand-Refined Myriad Transformation Insect and instantly enveloping her completely.

Then the soft tentacles crystallized, like amber, sealing the myriad-refined insect within.

"So it's just a first-tier juvenile brat! And it dares to act so arrogantly in front of me!"

As a mature, third-tier knight, Govi ​​could naturally suppress a juvenile, first-tier insect.

Just like the Silverwing Hunter Insect, a fourth-tier fully evolved form, was able to suppress her, a third-tier mature form.

The size of one's life stage is the most direct manifestation of their level of power.

But Gowe didn't get to be so smug for long.

suddenly!

The purple amber in her hand cracked open, making a crisp breaking sound.

The insect, refined through countless transformations, fell to the ground.

The phantom images of human skulls appeared around her.

Quickly burrowed underground...

In the mushroom forest, the mycelium on the rotting corpses began to resonate with the buzzing of insects!

"Holy crap? This bug is only in its first-tier juvenile stage, yet it can already mimic the second-tier adult corpse-manipulating bug?"

I heard what Goldwell said.

Richard believes that this insect is very likely a queen-level creature!

But there was no time to marvel at its extraordinary talent.

Because those corpses wrapped in mycelium stood up like zombies.

They began attacking the surrounding pioneers...

Slow-moving fungal zombies are naturally no match for the living.

If you get injured in the Mushroom Forest, you are very likely to be infected with insect eggs and spores.

The pioneers could only carefully avoid the scratches and bites of the fungal zombies.

With her amethyst insect armor protecting her, Govi ​​was naturally not afraid of attacks from fungal zombies.

Her palm split open, and the purple blood that flowed out turned into tentacles, which then transformed into two cleavers.

Govi, the Amethyst Knight, inherited the powerful strength of the Earth Knight. She was able to withstand the attacks of the Silverwing Killing Insects.

Now, using a sharp cleaver, dealing with fungal worms and zombies is like mowing grass.

After several charges, it was cut in half at the waist. The fungal worm zombie lost its lower limbs and could only twitch on the ground.

The remaining limbs and mangled worm-infested zombies were also easily dealt with by the pioneers...
