“The problem now is that I can indeed replace the Gadfly Kings and try not to be discovered by the other insect kings. But in this way, I can’t resist your attack. Do you have any solutions?”
“That’s simple! The divine turtle phantom you mentioned is formed by my spirituality, not a dead thing! I’ll add my spiritual aura to your body, and you can give it to your clones. My spiritual incarnation will be able to distinguish them and won’t attack them!”
As he spoke, the golden ball of consciousness shone brightly. Thousands of blurry lights seemed to be drawn out from the surrounding flesh and blood and gathered towards Lin Yan.
Lin Yan removed the Black Tortoise Divine Armor, and the misty light wrapped around his palm like golden threads. Finally, it formed a strange mottled golden seal on his palm.
“You just have to stick this golden seal on your clone and you can leave my spiritual aura on it.” Doing so seemed to be quite a burden on the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. Her voice sounded a little tired.
Lin Yan nodded. “What if that divine turtle phantom breaks through the protective shield of the Spirit Devouring Array?”
“It’s fine. I’ll set a restriction. After it encounters your clones, it’ll hide, covering all its aura. It won’t attack. After you replace enough Gadfly Kings, we can cooperate and completely break the Spirit Devouring Array!”
Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright! How many do you need to replace?”
The Golden Ball of Consciousness of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother jumped and calculated, “20 is the limit! 30, the probability will be extremely high! 40, it will be foolproof!”
“Forty… I understand. However, your seals need to be opened one by one to prevent a large number of Gadfly Kings from appearing at the same time.”
“Understood. I’ll pick suitable sealed battlefields and try my best to start with the weakest Gadfly Kings and not attract the attention of the other Gadfly Kings.
“However, you still have to be careful. Some of the Gadfly Kings have already begun to converge their territories and devour flesh to strengthen themselves. They are extremely powerful and dangerous!
“When they become powerful to a certain extent, my seal probably won’t be able to imprison them!
“Although I can screen the sealed battlefields, I still can’t guarantee that such Gadfly Kings won’t break through the seal.
“If you encounter such a Gadfly King, you must escape immediately and avoid it. 1 will help you escape!”
He didn’t understand, so he asked, “What do you mean by converging the territory?”
Lin Yan remembered that those Gadfly Kings had also said that he had overly expanded his domain. At that time, he didn’t understand what they meant.
“I only discovered and confirmed it today. After the black flesh was contaminated by the Gadfly Kings, it already escaped my control and become a part of the Gadfly Kings!
“This is their domain!
“As long as they devour and absorb their flesh and blood domains, they can strengthen themselves and become huge and powerful. Humans can’t defeat them!”
Lin Yan frowned slightly. “But the insects I encountered were extremely weak. They hid in the bodies of Demon Bugs and were easily killed.”
“That’s because they haven’t begun to converge their domains.
“I can sense that the pitch-black flesh territory is constantly infecting my flesh and blood. It keeps expanding. Moreover, the larger the flesh territory, the faster it will spread.
“Those Gadfly Kings all want to obtain a larger domain so that they can become stronger after absorbing and devouring it.
“Therefore, I’m guessing that those Gadfly Kings that maintain their small sizes are all waiting for their domains to expand further before devouring the domains to become stronger!”
Lin Yan finally understood. These Gadfly Kings were like those people in his previous life who bought funds and invested in projects with high returns. They wished they could throw in every cent to maximize the benefits!
Greed!
Pure greed!
No wonder Insect 67 could not wait to come over as soon as he heard that Insect 36 was seriously injured. To them, the territory of the same kind was the best nourishing item!
At that time, the third rune pattern that appeared on Insect 6y’s body was probably used to devour and consolidate the flesh domain, right?
Hundreds of years ago, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother could not do anything to these insect king clones. Moreover, they were isolated from each other. It was naturally safe for them to expand their territory without holding back.
However, now that Lin Yan had appeared out of nowhere, these Gadfly Kings were in trouble!
“I have to kill as many of these Gadfly Kings as possible before they react!”
The man, the turtle, and Old Qin, who was waving the flag and shouting at the side but could not interrupt, immediately acted according to the plan.
Before entering the new battlefield, Lin Yan first injected the spiritual aura of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother into Insect 36 and Insect 67 before returning to the 36th battlefield.
He had not forgotten the third rune pattern he had seen from Insect 67.
After he controlled the new clone of Insect 36 and moved the skin and muscles, the third rune pattern appeared. Lin Yan saw the pitch-black flesh below suddenly begin to squirm and climb up the clone’s body.
Then, it fused into the clone’s body without any resistance!
Its body began to expand visibly. The surface of its body kept cracking and repairing, as if it was shedding its skin. It quickly became larger. The flesh under it continuously gathered towards Insect 36’s body.. More and more, faster and faster!
