Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!

Jiang Bian, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke up: "Stop looking, the entire town below belongs to the Jiang family."

He propped his head up and glanced at Jiang Xu.

The latter withdrew his gaze and landed on the insect opposite him: "The whole town?"

"Otherwise, why do you think those insects would come this way?" Jiang Bian asked him rhetorically, then answered his own question:

"Because there are no insects here that can harm it."

Therefore, this is the safest place.

The Jiang family rarely stores their goods here, but once they are here, it proves that the goods belong solely to the Jiang family.

No one can lay a hand on him.

Jiang Xu was somewhat surprised, as he thought of the Jiang family's old house from yesterday.

Hmm—it really doesn't suit this style of doing things.

Their aircraft quickly landed on an open space, where several female insects were already waiting.

The moment Jiang Bian stepped off the aircraft, the female insects trotted over to greet him.

"Master." Among the female insects that ran over, the leader bowed deeply to Jiang Bian.

"Hmm." Jiang Bian ignored the insects and walked straight towards the location of the goods.

Jiang Xu and the insect that came over exchanged a glance, then quickly looked away and followed Jiang Bian in front.

The insects exchanged glances and quickly followed, asking, "Master, are you here to pick up the goods?"

Jiang Bian glanced at the female insect behind him, and the female insect beside him quickly understood, saying to them, "Or how about we come and play with you?"

"Pero, what do you mean?" The lead female insect who had followed looked unhappily at the female insect behind Jiang Bian. "You follow the head of the family around every day, so naturally you don't understand the feelings of us insects."

Perot glanced at him: "Protecting the head of the family is my duty."

"It's as if no one can protect the head of the family." The female insect still looked at Pero with dissatisfaction.

Day after day, they led a group of brothers, transporting, hiding, and receiving goods, constantly battling wits and lives against those who coveted their goods.

He's fine, a female insect follows the master around all day, all he has to do is serve him.

Thinking of this, his dissatisfaction intensified.

not to mention--

He glanced furtively at the male insect at the front, keeping some things to himself.

Jiang Bian stopped and looked at the two female insects that were about to start arguing again, feeling quite annoyed: "Take me to see the goods."

"Yes, I'll take you there right away."

The female insect, beaming with delight, quickly stepped forward to lead the way, while the remaining insects followed closely behind Jiang Xu and his companions, protecting them.

Jiang Xu glanced at the female insect named Pero behind Jiang Bian. Although they had spent a considerable amount of time together, this was the first time he had heard the name of this female insect.

His gaze swept over Jiang Bian and the female insect, as if trying to find something.

Suddenly, Jiang Xu felt something soft in his hand. He turned to look at Fei beside him and saw that Fei was holding his hand tightly.

Jiang Xu chuckled softly and took the grip back.

They soon arrived at the front of a house. Based on his observations along the way, there were at least twenty insects moving around the house.

They seemed to be chatting casually in pairs, like idle insects.

But every glance from the corner of his eye was fixed on their direction.

"......" Jiang Xu thought to himself, why didn't Jiang Bian teach these insects his pretentious skills?

So much so that he couldn't bear to look at the insects' clumsy disguise.

He stepped up the two steps in front of the house and entered the house.

The house was no different from ordinary houses; in fact, it was quite simple.

"Clang—"

A sound like something hitting metal came from inside the house.

"Master, the goods are in the room." The female insect walked to a door, bowed to Jiang Bian, and said.

Jiang Bian, who was walking at the front, stopped, turned around and looked at the male insects behind him, then raised his head towards the door: "The goods you need to pick up are inside."

Jiang Xu nodded, then walked past him.

The door was opened by the female insect beside him, revealing a square room to Jiang Xu, though not very large. The bed that had originally been in the room was nowhere to be seen, with only a few traces left on the floor.

In the center of the room stood a huge iron cage, inside which was a strange-looking creature that crawled on all fours.

He couldn't describe what the creature looked like; in his twenty-seven years of knowledge, no animal resembled it.

If he had to describe it, Jiang Xu could only think of a combination of a hairless cat and a star-traced monster.

It has no hair or scales on its body, and its skin looks like that of a hairless cat, but its size is many times larger than a cat, comparable to an adult tiger or leopard.

His mouth was split open all the way to his ears, and his mouth was covered with a dense array of sharp teeth. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at them as they walked in.

"Bang—"

The beast slammed into the metal cage that held it once more, making a loud noise and even shifting its position slightly.

Fei subconsciously let go of his hand, quickly walked in front of Jiang Xu, and completely shielded him behind him.

Jiang Xu looked at Fei's profile with amusement and patted his arm: "He's locked up, he can't hurt me."

If it could really come out, the insects outside wouldn't be so carefree.

He walked to the metal cage and carefully examined the strange beast inside: "Is this what a strange beast looks like?"

He was completely unaware that his actions had shocked the insects around him.

After all, in the minds of many female insects, male insects dislike anything that looks ugly. And when faced with a creature like a strange beast, most male insects' first reaction is to faint from fright.

Even Jiang Bian, a male insect accustomed to all sorts of storms, didn't really want to get close to this thing at this moment.

Jiang Xu walked to the cage without any fear and began to look at it calmly.

He turned his head to look at a few insects not far away, and seeing their complicated expressions, he asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Although Jiang Ping said that, he still gave Jiang Xu a thumbs up.

No wonder he's Uncle Mian's grandson; the genetic inheritance is indeed powerful.

Soon, the remaining three insects each found a spot and looked at the strange beast in the cage.

Fei walked to Jiang Xu's side and stood there, looking at the strange beast in the cage. He felt that it looked quite similar to a certain type of strange beast recorded in the book.

but--

He looked at Shuya across from him and asked, "General Shuya, I would like to ask you a question."

Shuya shifted her gaze from the strange beast to Fei, scrutinizing the female insect opposite her for a few seconds before speaking, "What's the problem?"

"In my memory, there is a kind of strange beast described in the book that looks very similar to this one in front of me, but I remember that historical records say that this kind of strange beast is the gentlest of all strange beasts."

They not only don't attack the Zerg, but they also consciously stay away from us.

In Fei's memory, the book described this strange beast as having a good appetite, being good at sleeping, and not easily approached by insects.

They are almost all gregarious, yet they never venture outside their own living area.

"Hmm," Shuya responded, turning to look at the strange beast, "There is indeed such a type, but..."

He carefully examined the strange beasts before him and added, "They shouldn't be the same kind; they just look similar."

Upon hearing this, Fei frowned.

There are many kinds of alien beasts that fought against the insect planet, but this kind of alien beast has never been recorded in the data.

Images of their exploration of the western battlefield flashed through his mind, but they were too far away to see clearly at the time.

But the general appearance of that strange beast was almost identical to the one in front of them.

Could this be one of those strange beasts from back then?
