Chapter 450: The True Insect Swarm Commander
There was actually such a fishy smell in this shallow coastal sea. Lin Yuan was simply too familiar with such a unique fishy smell. It was exactly the smell given off by the decaying flesh of the water world dimensional lifeforms.
The sea breeze along the shore was very strong, so any smell would be instantly carried hundreds of meters away and then disappear without a trace.
However, the sea breeze couldn’t cover up the smell of decaying flesh of the water world dimensional lifeforms on the shore. This meant that a large number of water world dimensional lifeforms were decaying.
Just as Lin Yuan’s expression became more and more serious, Liu Jie said with a frown, “Could there be a water world dimensional rift that just opened on the shore? How else could there be so much water world dimensional lifeforms’ flesh decaying?”
As he spoke, Liu Jie glanced at the calm sea not far away and frowned even more.
The clear waves on the sea surface surged. There were clearly no large-scale massacres of feys and water world dimensional lifeforms at this moment in the sea.
Listen pondered for a moment before saying, “I was here at this sea area before I went to the Royal Capital. There was no abnormality at that time.”
Listen was also wondering how much water world dimensional lifeforms’ flesh was decaying together in such a wide space that made them, who were standing with their backs to the breeze, smell a fishy and pungent smell.
Listen hurriedly took three light-blue wax slices out of his Diamond fey storage box, handed them to Lin Yuan and Liu Jie, and said, “These are the fragments from the Shellfish Vapor Corals. Put it in your hand and cover your nose. The fragment’s shellfish vapor can cover up the decaying smell of the water world dimensional lifeforms.”
At that moment, Lin Yuan waved his hand and replied, “Smell. The decaying smell of the water world dimensional lifeforms is becoming fainter and fainter.
“Let’s wait a little longer. If this smell becomes fainter or disappears, we’ll go forward and take a look.”
Lin Yuan thought, If the smell becomes faint, it means that a large batch of water world dimensional lifeforms have been killed and then rolled along with the current to the shore.
The Source Sand that was on the amber-button-shaped Diamond fey storage box on Lin Yuan’s cuff landed on the sandy shore at his feet and turned into gravel that drilled into the sandy shore.
Liu Jie noticed Lin Yuan’s action and channeled his spiritual energy to summon the Insect Queen.
After the Insect Queen was summoned, a small humanoid fairy emerged out of the beating purple flesh cocoon. It was the Insect Queen’s original body.
The Insect Queen had a combination of moth wings and transparent dragonfly wings on its body.
After flying out of the purple flesh cocoon, the Insect Queen hugged Liu Jie’s neck, relying on its little face to rub it.
Liu Jie used his palm to hold the petite Insect Queen to his face and said, “Elegance, we’re going to battle. Go and spread the sea of insects according to Formation A.”
Under Liu Jie’s instruction, the Insect Queen, Elegance, turned into a stream of light and drilled into the purple flesh cocoon.
The purple flesh cocoon landed and swelled to three meters, with many sac-like ducts unique to insect-species feys on its body.
These sac-like ducts pulsated, and it was as if something in the ducts was rapidly flowing. The Insect Queen’s form after transformation was like an insect queen nest.
When the Insect Queen transformed, the insect queen nest produced Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects quickly. Then the thick armored Shield Ladybugs and blue-purple Plasma Caterpillars with spiky hair swarmed out.
After being produced, these Shield Ladybugs consciously guarded Liu Jie, Lin Yuan, and Listen behind them. The two thick armors on their backs bloomed, forming an airtight wall. Under Liu Jie’s instruction, they advanced toward the coast step by step.
Those Plasma Caterpillars consciously followed the Shield Ladybugs and were ready to deploy the plasma in their bodies.
Those large amounts of Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects that covered half of the sandy shore scurried underneath the sand.
Lin Yuan manipulated the Source Sand and could sense that every single Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect under the sand was in an attacking posture, ready to strike. They would launch a swift and fierce attack according to Liu Jie’s instruction at any time.
Then, the insect queen nest trembled violently as if it was stuck. When the insect queen nest stopped trembling, nearly 100 Lightning Gathering Moths and Hurricane Owlet Moths flew out of the open hole.
The Lightning Gathering Moths were only half the size of a palm, but the moths had a purple tentacle on their heads that was about the same length as their bodies.
The Hurricane Owlet Moth was more than twice as big as the Lightning Gathering Moth, and its blue butterfly wings had fine black lines.
The black lines seemed to be able to absorb the bright light displaced in the world, seemingly making it as if the Hurricane Owlet Moths were always flying at night.
The moment the Lightning Gathering Moths appeared, the Plasma Caterpillars seemed to have found their main backbone and ejected the accumulated plasma from their bodies.
The Lightning Gathering Moths absorbed the electric plasma, and blue-purple jumping lightning arcs surrounded them.
The arcs jumped, and the light-purple color on their bodies turned dark purple.
The dark-purple wings vaguely brought up a layer of silver luster with the increasingly fine electric arcs. This layer of silver luster was precisely the unique characteristics when the thunder energy reached saturation in the Lightning Gathering Moths’ bodies.
Liu Jie’s Insect Queen completed the formation in less than a minute.
If the swarm was compared to a war machine, then each insect unit produced by the Insect Queen was like a small part of this huge war machine.
These small parts were in their positions, each with their own responsibilities, operating the sea insects that were like the war machine with the fastest and most accurate efficiency.
Liu Jie, who was beside Lin Yuan, was the heart of the swarm and its sole commander.
After laying this sea of insects, the insect queen nest once again shrunk into a purple flesh cocoon.
Liu Jie took a Gold Protein Silkworm Chrysalis out of the Diamond fey storage box and fed it to Elegance, allowing it to replenish the energy it had consumed in creating the swarm.
Elegance received Liu Jie’s Protein Silkworm Chrysalis and flew up, giving him a gentle peck on his face.
Then it glanced at Lin Yuan and Listen and burrowed into the purple flesh cocoon as if afraid to see strangers. It began to enjoy the Gold Protein Silkworm Chrysalis alone.
Lin Yuan had learned how shy Elegance was back at the mansion. Lin Yuan’s mind suddenly gave birth to a strange idea upon sensing the Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect lurking underground.
