Chapter 270: Only the two of us collecting corpses will be exhausting!

Shen Qing pointed at the pile of things Cha Ku had taken off.

Shen Qing and the Demonic Slaughter Insect couldn't understand what the other was muttering, but basic gestures were still understandable.

The Demonic Slaughter Insect quickly crawled toward the pile of things, its eyes full of excitement and greed, its sharp mouthparts instantly tore the clothing, the Demonic Slaughter Insect's green-bean-sized eyes scanned it, then quickly bit onto a deep purple jade pendant.

Its eyes seemed to show a hint of struggle, but it restrained the impulse to bite the jade pendant to pieces; immediately it quickly turned its head and placed the jade pendant beside Shen Qing's leg, then, like a puppy, looked at Shen Qing with a pleading gaze.

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes; this Demonic Slaughter Insect's intelligence is very low, inferior even to that of canines, and moreover this Demonic Slaughter Insect was born for destruction and slaughter.

Yet this Demonic Slaughter Insect actually managed to suppress its desire and handed the jade pendant to Shen Qing.

This Demonic Slaughter Insect merely mistook Shen Qing for an Evil Spirit.

It seems the Evil Spirit's status among the Malevolent Entities is higher than Shen Qing imagined; they truly can command the Malevolent Entities.

In that case, the threat posed by these Evil Spirits infiltrating this world is even greater; they truly can integrate the Malevolent Entities hidden everywhere.

Shen Qing lightly tapped with his hand, and the jade pendant fell into his hand.

The jade pendant flickered with a faint purple light; outwardly it looked nothing special, as if it had been stained with some malevolent energy after being carried by the Demonic Slaughter Insect.

Shen Qing looked at Cha Ku: "Cha Ku, what is this jade pendant?"

Cha Ku said: "Reporting to Grand Commander Shen, this is our Suke Dynasty's national stone, the Suké Stone."

"This item is only produced in a small area in the north of the Suke Dynasty; it also has no special use, and we merely use it to make ornaments."

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows, feeling this thing might be useful; handing it to the Heavenly Craft Workshop might produce something useful.

Shen Qing looked at Cha Ku: "Alright, can I buy this jade pendant from you? Name your price."

Cha Ku's body trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Grand Commander Shen, you say this, but how can we talk about money for this jade pendant? If we speak of fate, it being valued by you, Grand Commander Shen, means fate has arrived."

"However, is just this one piece not enough? My younger brother Cha Yu has a larger piece; I'll have him bring it over later."

Cha Ku pondered a moment: "Oh, right, I have someone from the Suke Dynasty doing business in Wuyang Prefecture who sells Suké Stone ornaments; I'll have them send a package to Shen Manor."

Shen Qing glanced at Cha Ku.

Second-class soldier Gan!

Shen Qing chuckled: "No need to."

Then he looked at the Demonic Slaughter Insect, flicked his finger, and used primordial qi to outline the shape of the Demonic Slaughter Insect Mother in the air.

The Demonic Slaughter Insect immediately understood, tapped that terrifying skull, then turned and ran toward the woods, occasionally looking back at Shen Qing while speaking the words of the Malevolent Entities.

Shen Qing didn't even need to think to know what the Demonic Slaughter Insect's words meant; roughly speaking.

"Supreme Lord, this way."

Shen Qing floated in midair following the Demonic Slaughter Insect; Cha Ku also quickly put on his clothes, covering his underpants.

The Demonic Slaughter Insect swiftly moved through the woods; during this, Shen Qing also saw many Demonic Slaughter Insects, but they all lowered their heads before Shen Qing, showing submission.

Not long after, the Demonic Slaughter Insect brought Shen Qing to a valley; there was a deep cave here, and a strong smell of blood assailed the nostrils.

It was obvious this was the Demonic Slaughter Insect's nest.

Meanwhile, inside the dark cave, a huge creature seemed to be walking out, and a hoarse female voice came from it, speaking the words of the Malevolent Entities with great respect.

"Which esteemed Evil Spirit has honored us with your presence?"

In the Malevolent Entity compendium left to Shen Qing by his Shen Family Ancestor, it was introduced that the Demonic Slaughter Insect Mother and the Demonic Slaughter Insect are connected via a consciousness network.

The Demonic Slaughter Insect can communicate with the Mother through this consciousness network.

So even earlier, the Demonic Slaughter Insect had already told the Mother about encountering Shen Qing.

However, the Demonic Slaughter Insect's intelligence is too low to explain clearly; the Mother only knows that an Evil Spirit has arrived, so she also left the cave to come outside to greet.

Soon the Demonic Slaughter Insect Mother emerged from the cave; she stood a full five meters tall, her upper body humanoid, clad in terrifying black chitin, while her lower body was a terrifying worm-like form, similar to a maggot, with eight white horn-like claws.

Soon the Demonic Slaughter Insect Mother froze; she saw Shen Qing, and as a Mother with high intelligence, she instantly recognized that Shen Qing was not an Evil Spirit.

She spoke in awkward Da Wu: "You are a human?!"

Then she lowered her head to look at the guide Demonic Slaughter Insect: "Was it you who lured this human expert over?"

The Demonic Slaughter Insect didn't understand, still looking delighted and seeking credit.

The Demonic Slaughter Insect Mother was about to deal with this Demonic Slaughter Insect, and also throw out a harsh threat.

But who knew, Shen Qing raised a finger, and terrifying thunder swept out, golden lightning shuttling among the surrounding Demonic Slaughter Insects; wherever it passed, all the Demonic Slaughter Insects were turned to charcoal.

Of course, this also included the Demonic Slaughter Insect Mother.

The Demonic Slaughter Insect Mother's whole body was charred from electricity, her eyes somewhat bewildered; after coming to this world, she had learned that it values something called martial virtue—even enemies in a death match would first throw out harsh words—so why does this person not follow convention?

However, the Demonic Slaughter Insect Mother, being a Mother, still had some ability; she let out a fierce shout, the charred bits on her body quickly fell away, revealing new skin, and a violent vibration rang out as countless Demonic Slaughter Insects swarmed from all directions.

The Demonic Slaughter Insect Mother also took the opportunity to retreat back into the cave.

But how could Shen Qing let him just leave? He pointed a finger, and a bolt of thunder shot into the dark cave; only a miserable cry was heard, and the thunder struck the Demonic Slaughter Insect Mother once more.

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows: "No wonder it's an insect; its vitality is stronger than other beings—it survived two of my attacks and still isn't dead."

Shen Qing glanced back at Cha Ku; at this moment Cha Ku was already nervous and breaking into a sweat, looking at the Demonic Slaughter Insects covering the hills and fields, and that terrifying form of the Demonic Slaughter Insect Mother just now.

Shen Qing threw a token into his hand: "Cha Ku, go to the nearest city and summon all the Embroidered Uniform Guard there to come here."

Cha Ku looked at the token, wiped the sweat from his palm: "Lord Shen, requesting reinforcements now might be too late."

"Or I could stay and help you."

As they spoke, dozens of Demonic Slaughter Insects had already rushed to Shen Qing's front; he raised his hand and a blade of light sliced out, cutting dozens of them in half.

Shen Qing's eyes were icy,

"Who said to let you go request reinforcements?"

"I told you to go find people to collect corpses; later the scene here might get ugly."

"Only the two of us collecting corpses will be very tiring!"
