Chapter 294 Insect Mother
Aoyama City's central business district.
The once bustling commercial district is now dilapidated, and the entire area has turned into an eerie black.
Upon closer inspection, they were all densely packed locusts.
This is so intense that it would kill someone with trypophobia!
When Yu Yao looked inside with the Sky-Gazing Mirror, she found that there wasn't a single locust in the interior of any of the houses.
There were no living beings there.
Yu Yao didn't know much about locusts' habits, but such a large-scale hibernation seemed a bit strange.
Locusts are born in spring and die in autumn. Their so-called death is a period of dormancy. They normally have one or two hours of rest time each day, but they still need to hide.
How could it just land so brazenly on the building and go into hibernation?
She looked at Jiang Yi, "Third Brother, is this normal?"
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow. "It's obviously not normal. But it's also normal, because locusts don't bite people under normal circumstances. But so far, the number of superhumans who have died because of the mutated locust swarm has exceeded three digits."
"Hmm." Yu Yao nodded. "Do you think killing one now would cause a riot?"
Just as Jiang Yi was about to say, "Why don't you give it a try?", a young man next to Lu Hong launched a fireball, which crashed into the nearest building.
A fireball, like a large drop of cold water suddenly falling into hot oil, instantly caused a huge reaction.
Yu Yao's brows twitched, and she, along with Qi Xian and Jiang Yi, retreated.
At the same time, they released a fire-type dragon soul, which spewed flames at the swarm of black locusts that were rushing towards them, burning them.
As Yu Yao retreated, she didn't forget to carefully observe the locusts.
She always felt that such low-intelligence creatures, even if they had mutated, shouldn't be so purposeful in attacking other bases.
So far away, so clear, so purposeful.
She even caught a locust, a mutated locust the size of an adult man's palm, with tiny white spots on its jet-black wings.
White spots?
Just then, the white dots suddenly left the locust's body and shot towards Yu Yao.
Yu Yao's eyes flickered, and she calmly unfolded the Rift Void in front of her, blocking the tiny white worms ten centimeters in front of her face.
Yu Yao looked at the fleshy worms and reminded Jiang Yi and Qi Xian.
"Those locusts have a white worm on them, be careful."
Qi Xian: "Where's that thing that almost landed on my face just now?!"
Jiang Yi: "They're parasites, so be careful not to let them get on you."
Yu Yao: "Can this kind of parasite control its host?"
Jiang Yi: "Yes."
Yu Yao focused her gaze, and the Sky-Gazing Mirror swept over the entire interior space of the commercial district once again.
Until she discovered a large white mass in the basement of the central building...
Flesh worms?
Interestingly, on the map, it's just an ordinary gray dot.
That is, the state of ordinary animals or plants as shown on the map.
Yu Yao controlled the dragon soul to spew out a large ball of flame to destroy the central building, and the huge white fleshy worm suddenly straightened its body.
Its body, over ten meters long and three meters thick, resembles a clumsy giant snake.
Yu Yao pouted, and Feng Jiye emerged from the Seven-Colored Glazed Realm with obvious disgust, looking at the white worm.
"Ugh, what an ugly thing!"
"You know him?" Yu Yao asked.
Feng Jiye glanced sideways. "I don't know him."
Yu Yao: "Oh."
Feng Jiye: "But I can roughly guess its identity."
"what?"
"The insect mother was artificially cultivated."
Why cultivate it?
A giant, fleshy worm with absolutely no abilities!
It's disgusting!
Seeing Yu Yao's disgusted expression, Feng Jiye smiled and spoke gently.
"It's for laying eggs. The queen insect doesn't have any special abilities, but it lays tens of thousands of eggs in the half minute we've been talking. And those eggs are something else!"
Although the insect queen has no special abilities, the eggs she lays will hatch and parasitize other organisms, thereby indirectly manipulating them.
Feng Jiye said that the insect mother was artificially cultivated.
The one controlling these mutated locusts is actually the person behind the locust queen.
"Tsk~ Go grab it, and hurry up!"
As she spoke, she casually placed the jade landscape plaque into Feng Jiye's hand.
They still had to complete a mission, and now they've been killed without any explanation. Who would believe what they did?
Feng Jiye raised an eyebrow, "Received, Master."
He stepped forward, waved his hand to swat away the swarm of locusts that were surrounding him, and then released his mental power to control the queen locust and directly put her into the jade landscape tablet.
All the mutated locusts around them rushed in one after another as if they were in a frenzy.
Yu Yao quickly unleashed several walls of fire to sweep towards the mutated locusts.
The smell of burning flesh filled my nostrils, and tiny blood crystals were continuously collected into the backpack compartments.
My experience is also constantly increasing.
The moment Yu Yao put the jade landscape pendant into her backpack.
The special mental energy that had been controlling the insect queen suddenly broke off, allowing Feng Jiye to instantly grab its tentacles.
"There is a psychic who has been controlling the insect queen."
Yu Yao frowned. "There's no one else around here!"
Feng Jiye explained, "The other party attached their mental power to the insect queen and remotely controlled her."
Did you catch it?
Feng Jiye shook his head. "No, he left too quickly. But I'll recognize him if we meet again."
