Chapter 443: A Swarm of Insects Gathers

[Already feeling excited?]

Feeling the ferocity coming from his consciousness, Ye Ren smiled slightly: [Don't worry, this time is definitely exciting enough. 怑

After speaking, before Leviathan could reflect again, Ye Ren cut off the spiritual link.

"The system degenerates the genes in the universal gene slot and converts them into universal lung genes. After cutting off the spiritual link, Ye Ren directly opened his mouth to the system in his mind, although it was because he needed to use the function of instant evolution to consume additional evolution points in the outside world, but Ye Ren didn't care about such points now.

"Okay. ā€

The system responded, and then began to carry out the real-time evolution function of Ye Ren's ability, and suddenly Ye Ren felt that his lungs were a little itchy, and he had obviously begun to fuse the universal lung gene.

In the process of evolving the universal lung gene, Ye Ren did not stay by the side of the insect queen all the time, but turned around in the entire underground insect nest, although there was no light source, but with ultrasonic detection and electromagnetic wave vision, Ye Ren felt that whether there was light around him was actually about the same.

And the place Ye Ren went to this time was first of all the honey room where the insect honey was stored.

There were still three honey rooms left before, but now there are only two honey rooms, and the honey grid in the other honey room has obviously been dug up, Ye Ren naturally knows that the queen of insects has obviously spent a lot of nutrients in order to breed cockroach-type insects.

"Two honeyhouses of this size should be more than enough to supply 10,000 sapper-type aliens to maintain the hive, right?"

Ye Ren used ultrasonic detection to perceive the size of the honey room, how to say that these two honey rooms are more than 100 square meters, and the whole room is densely stacked with almost dark green viscous paste worm honey everywhere. The layers of honey almost made it impossible for Ye Ren to fast in the room.

And this dark green color is the most nutrient-rich insect honey produced by the queen herself. Only one bite of each insect is enough to move for a whole day, so how to calculate that these two rooms of honey are enough.

Not to mention enough for a few days. If you save a little bit of the nutritious honey produced by these two insects, and then cooperate with these insects to search for some food in the hive and the ocean, I am afraid that it will be enough to last for a month, after all, although the consumption of insects is very high, once they enter a static and dormant state, the consumption will be reduced a lot.

"Hmm...... On the way, the Leviathan will also ingest quite a lot of nutrients, and not only should the nutrients be fine when the time comes, but the queen will also lay more eggs, if you think about it. There should be no problem. ā€

Ye Ren also calculated it and felt that there was no problem, so he put his mind at ease.

After seeing that there was enough insect honey, Ye Ren also left this viscous and narrow space, and came to another place, although Ye Ren had also seen this place, but after all, he had not come here in person, so now that he has the opportunity, it is better to come and see it in person.

That's right, where Ye Ren is now tucking. It was the huge base that he had ordered the queen to dig before.

However, although it is said to be a base, in fact, this huge underground space that has been excavated is still only the tip of the iceberg, and it is not even as large as the scale of the real yĆ n room, so this base will have to be expanded again in the future. Now it can only be regarded as a basic prototype.

After all, Ye Ren has too few people now, so it's useless to dig so big, it's a big deal to expand later.

"It's a good space. ā€

Ye Ren walked around the base space a few times. While carefully sensing the surroundings, except for some space carved out of the huge rock. Ye Ren found that there was still a part of the space made of soil, and these sapper-type insects were indeed very powerful. After compacting the soil and mixing it with its own unique stearin, its hardness is not weaker than that of rock.

"If it's just the construction of the preliminary base, this place is almost enough, at least it should be possible to take Meng Meng and them over. Using ultrasound to perceive the approximate structure and size of the entire underground base space, Ye Ren nodded to himself.

Obviously, the queen who was born in the underground world and ruled the hive is still very good at building or something, because Ye Ren is very satisfied with it.

After inspecting the base facilities, Ye Ren wandered around the hive again.

During the period of wandering, Ye Ren also found that the whole insect nest had changed a lot compared to when he had just left, the most obvious thing was that the relatively spacious large holes were blocked several times, all of which were blocked with a substance composed of bitten fine stone powder mixed with stearin, almost much harder than the rock itself, and the color was the same as the rock, and the appearance could not be seen that there was a huge cave there before.

And in the hidden place, a large number of caves with a diameter of about one meter were dug everywhere, and the inside of the cave was winding, obviously these were the correct passages for the alien insects, even now Ye Ren could see several sapper-type alien insects walking through it.

However, because there are no tentacles to communicate, Ye Renzhi doesn't know what they are doing.

After walking around for a while, Ye Ren felt that the time was about the same, and then he returned to the center of the hive where the insect queen was located, quietly waiting for the moment when the insect queen broke out of the cocoon and was reborn.

Without letting Ye Ren wait, it was only less than five minutes before the huge stearic cocoon shell began to shake.

"Poof!"

A sharp and incomparably black arthropod directly pierced through the huge stearin shell, and a large amount of colorless and transparent mucus flowed out of it, Ye Ren was not afraid of soiling his clothes at the moment because he was full of exoskeletons, so he didn't dodge the mucus and let it flow through his legs.

"Click... "The huge arthropod was like a saw, constantly cutting the hard shell of the cocoon back and forth, and soon the entire cocoon was cut into two pieces by the arthropod.......

Because the upper part of the cocoon had completely lost its support, it was forced open by a huge force, and a pitch-black skull emerged from the cracks in the cocoon's crust, followed by a whole piece of pitch-black back armor that looked like a diamond, and the other four thick arthropods.

"Squeak~!"

After the insect queen emerged from the cocoon, she chirped excitedly as if she had been reborn, and then sent an extremely joyful spiritual message to Ye Ren.

"The queen of insects, are you still satisfied with the appearance this time?" Ye Ren felt the joy in the queen of insects' hearts, and also smiled slightly.

"Squeak ~ Squeak ~ "

The queen of insects nodded her skull very humanely, and then crawled over a few steps, and rubbed against Ye Ren with the skull, Ye Ren reached out and touched it a few times, although the appearance has changed a lot, but the skull of the queen has been warm and smooth, which has not changed much.

"It's good to be satisfied. Ye Ren gently stroked the skull of the insect queen: "Go and replenish some nutrients, it's time for us to go." ā€

"Squeak~"

The queen of insects responded obediently, and then the tentacles on her head trembled slightly, and several sapper insects with bulging bellies ran over and began to dedicate all the nutrient solution stored in their stomachs to the queen worm, and after the nutrient solution of these sapper insects was sucked, several other insects ran over and continued to feed the nutrient solution.

After several successive waves of sapper insects, the queen's abdomen finally swelled, and Ye Ren also received a full spiritual message from the queen of insects.

"Full?"

Ye Ren nodded: "Okay, let's set off, take all the cockroach-type insects, and head towards the bay where Leviathan is located." ā€

After speaking, Ye Ren took the lead and walked towards the cave that led to the bottom of the sea.

"Squeak~"

The insect queen who followed behind Ye Ren naturally responded, and then a circle of invisible spiritual fields spread, and all the cockroach-type insects were deployed while following Ye Ren.

"Squeak squeak...... Ye Ren was originally moving in the direction of the bay with the insect queen, but as he walked, there was a sudden noise in the caves around him, and Ye Ren's electromagnetic senses and ultrasonic positioning also felt that countless small things moving at high speed were surging rapidly in his direction.

Given the hint of kindness on the other party's body, Ye Ren could conclude that these guys must be those cockroach-type insects.

After a while, the first cockroach-type insect emerged from the cave.

Then came the second, third, and fourth, almost countless cockroach-type insects almost covered the entire underground insect nest, and countless black cockroach-type insects were like something very terrifying, and in the blink of an eye, they converged into a dark river behind Ye Ren.

"Huh?"

Ye Ren was not afraid of this, but directly reached out and grabbed a cockroach-type insect and looked at it casually.

These guys who were born to fight really lived up to Ye Ren's expectations, I don't know if it was because the queen of worms usually nursed them carefully, the arc of this cockroach-type beetle's oval back armor flashed with a layer of dark light as a whole, and the ratio of the torso and abdomen hidden in the back armor was also very correct, there was not the slightest bloat at all, and each of the arthropods that stretched out of the back armor was thick and powerful, with sharp and small climbing spines, which could climb lightly on almost anything.

"Yes, it looks like the self-feeding cellular nutrient bank is indeed full. Nodding, Ye Ren threw the cockroach-type insect back into the insect tide behind him and continued to move forward.

And Ye Ren naturally did not forget to contact Leviathan in the process of moving, and his mind opened a spiritual connection as soon as he moved.

[Leviathan, get ready where you put your food, we're going out.] (To be continued......)
