This also led to the villagers' first reaction when Jiang Xu and his companion arrived that they were the insects that had injured Wenxi last night.

"Unconscious?" Fei glanced at the leader. "Take me there."

The leader looked at Fei; they definitely needed better medical care to treat Wenxi.

The village's medical facilities can handle simple headaches and fevers, but for serious cases, there is no other way but to go outside.

After a moment of silence, he turned and walked toward one of the caves next to him.

"My lord," Fei called out to Jiang Xu, and seeing the other nod slightly, he followed him.

Jiang Xu didn't seem to mind, but glanced at the insects lying on the ground.

The elderly female insect opposite immediately realized Jiang Xu's concerns and gestured for him to enter: "Your Excellency, please."

He then glanced at the few insects lying on the ground and continued, "I will take care of these insects."

As soon as he finished speaking, several insects emerged from the nearby cave and quickly walked towards him.

Jiang Xu glanced at it and followed Fei without hesitation, heading towards the cave.

When Fei reached the cave entrance, he blocked the vegetation in front of him, and only then could he truly see the entire cave.

Jiang Xu stopped at the cave entrance and watched as the insect offspring behind Fei and others entered before letting go of the vegetation in his hands and turning to walk into the cave.

He hadn't walked more than a few steps when a figure quickly followed beside him. Without turning around, Jiang Xu knew it was Fei who had caught up.

He looked straight ahead, gazing into the cave.

The interior wasn't as shallow as he'd thought. From the outside, it might really look like just an ordinary cave.

Apart from the landslide debris, there was no trace of life at the entrance of the cave.

As he ventured deeper and squeezed through a narrow passage, he discovered that these caves held a hidden world within them.

Inside the cave, there is a small opening, through which sunlight shines down, illuminating the entire cave.

In the center of the cave floor is a small pool of water, with some small rocks in the middle, which should have fallen and accumulated from the cave entrance above.

The water was teeming with fish thanks to the insects here, and he could see several fish swimming among the green flowers and plants.

He looked up at the walls around the cave, which were covered with green moss due to the water flow, and below them were the houses built by these insects according to the cave's internal structure.

I must say, it really does feel like a paradise on earth.

"Old clan leader, why are you back from outside?" an insect near the entrance called out to Jiang Xu from behind.

Jiang Xu then turned around and discovered that the old female insect had already entered through another hole.

"Hmm." After responding, the elderly female insect noticed Jiang Xu's gaze and quickly bowed to him.

"Hey, Neil picked up two more bugs?" The other person looked at Jiang Xu and Fei and asked in surprise.

"What do you mean 'found it'? You found it yourself." A child's voice rang out angrily beside Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu glanced down at him and noticed that the little male insect had turned its head away, looking very unhappy.

"?" The insect opposite was puzzled. What kind of insects could come from their village? Last time, the father and son picked up a female insect, and this time they picked up two more.

After speaking, his gaze swept over Jiang Xu and Fei, as if he were looking at something rare and interesting.

"Uncle Jin." The leading female insect, seeing the insect opposite her, hid her injured hand behind her back. "What are you doing here?"

"I just came to see what was going on. I saw you insects sneaking out today, so I got curious and wanted to see what was happening." He watched the insects go out in the morning, and it was almost afternoon when they finally came back.

Jiang Xu's eyes darkened. Although it wasn't far from the cave entrance, he estimated it to be only about twenty meters away. So why were these insects coming so quickly?

Or perhaps, these insects were already waiting for him at the entrance of the hole from the beginning.

Neil ignored the insect and led Jiang Xu inside. He knew that what the other party had said would alert Jiang Xu and the others, so he explained, "When Wenxi came back last night, he mentioned that an insect would come to pick him up."

However, another group of insects is also looking for him.

So this morning, the insects who had received his kindness went out on patrol together.

As for Uncle Nian," he said, patting the little bug's head, "it must have been my son who called him."

Jiang Xu fell silent, suddenly realizing that since arriving in the Zerg, he seemed to have more things to consider.

I've gotten into the habit of trying to guess the other person's worst intentions.

"Since you knew an insect would come to pick him up, why didn't you ask him directly instead of confronting us?"

After Jiang Xu finished asking the question, he noticed that the other person's gaze had fallen on Fei.

"?" Jiang Xu was a little confused, and the little bug next to him said directly, "You two don't look like good bugs at all."

"........" Jiang Xu.

"Don't talk nonsense." Neil tapped the little bug on the head to shut it up and explained, looking a little embarrassed.

A look of surprise flashed across Jiang Xu's eyes. What was the reason?

He turned to look at Fei, his gaze lingering on his face for a few seconds. Wasn't he quite well-behaved?

Where does it resemble an evil insect?

He didn't think he looked that scary, so how could he be a scoundrel?

Neil noticed Jiang Xu's actions and coughed a few times to cover his embarrassment.

"Wenxi is at my house. I'll take you there right away. He needs a treatment kit." Given the condition of the insects here, they can't afford such an expensive treatment.

Jiang Xu and his group's arrival actually solved their immediate problem.

Without further delay, the insects headed towards Neil's house.

Neil's house is directly opposite the exit, placing it in the center of all the houses.

The walls are made of stacked stone blocks, and the roof is made of dried thatch.

Not to mention the houses in the capital, even compared to the houses in the town where the liaison center is located, they are much more rudimentary.

It feels like two different worlds.

They were quickly led to a room deep inside the main building. The moment the door opened, Jiang Xu saw the insect lying on the bed.

Suddenly, a figure flashed past her side and was already at the bedside in the blink of an eye.

"......." Jiang Xu looked at Fei standing by the bed, his expression serious as he looked at the insects on the bed.

His gaze returned to the bed; it seemed that the insect was Wenxi.

The other person's eyes were closed and there was no color in their lips, indicating that they were indeed seriously injured.

Fei reached out and gently stroked Wenxi's face, paused for a moment, and turned to look at Neil beside him: "I need to take Wenxi back for treatment; his condition cannot be delayed."

The other party's wounds were infected, and he had a fever. According to the female insect's self-healing ability, it was now completely beyond his self-healing range.

If not dealt with promptly, the situation will only worsen.

"We're also trying to find a way to get him out for treatment, but..." It's not easy for them to go out, and...

"Leave immediately."

"Let's go too." Neil looked at Fei's serious expression and unconsciously felt a little urgent.

The other party's attitude only made him realize that Wenxi's injuries were more serious than he had imagined.

The room was filled with tension, and Jiang Xu was forgotten on the sidelines.

Jiang Xu's gaze followed Fei, watching him stroke the insect on the bed, watch him lift the insect from the bed, and watch him pick up the insect from the bed.

A fleeting, ambiguous emotion crossed his eyes.

So fast that even he himself didn't realize this unusual emotion.
