Chapter 406

"How is it?"

"Can this guy breed a Mimic Demon Insect?"

Li Yao followed the Lishan Demon Insects transporting the corpses to Benefactor Xiao Bai's side.

A few minutes after death,

the Titan Emperor transformed from human form back to its original shape.

It wasn't as massive as imagined,

standing about a few dozen meters tall.

It seems the Titan race cannot judge strength purely by size.

Looking at this massive corpse carrying a formidable aura,

Benefactor Xiao Bai stood frozen in place,

examining the corpse back and forth.

After a full five minutes, it finally spoke:

"Apologies, Master. The potential energy of this flesh is too high; for now, I can only consume it, but I cannot use its energy to breed a Mimic Demon Insect."

"For now?" Li Yao noted the key point. "Then, if you consume this S-rank Insect Mother and evolve into a complete form, will you be able to do it?"

"I am not certain."

Upon hearing this,

Li Yao was not disappointed, but rather pleasantly surprised.

Potential energy—it must be referring to the Titan Emperor's potential, right?

Thinking about it, it makes sense.

The Titan Emperor is, after all, a monster capable of evolving to the Overlord level.

If it were bred into a Mimic Demon Insect,

wouldn't it be an Overlord-level insect?

Although the Demon Insect race's 'Human-Insects' are terrifying,

the Dragon Kingdom's professionals have been able to contend with them for decades,

which shows they don't have Overlord-level 'Human-Insects'.

Looking at it this way,

the Demon Insect race's Mimic Demon Insects also have a limit.

For human professionals,

this is undoubtedly a good thing!

"You go ahead and consume the S-rank insect swarm first."

"How long will the evolution take?"

"Replying to Master, it will take about 12 hours."

"Alright, I understand," Li Yao replied.

"Continue to have the Bee Demon Insects search for the location of your kind."

"Eat up; I will come find you again tomorrow."

Under the moonlight,

the 'squelch, squelch' sounds of consumption rang out.

The night passed without incident.

The next day,

when Li Yao Mayor Woke up,

the Dragon Kingdom's professionals and Kujo Mise had already gathered together.

Today was exactly the half-month deadline for the national border trial.

The opening time was in the morning.

That is to say,

in a little while,

the Demigod race would have their restrictions lifted.

The Demigod race is very strong.

Li Yao left Kaisa by their side

to prevent a Demigod undercover agent from descending and suddenly attacking.

Li Yao walked over to Benefactor Xiao Bai.

At this moment, Benefactor Xiao Bai's entire body had turned into a massive, milky-white cocoon.

Judging by its size alone,

it was already no less than the Insect Mother Li Yao had killed at the 【Insect Mother Battlefield】 in the Demon Capital.

Strands of cocoon silk drifted onto Li Yao's face in the breeze.

They were very light, had no strange odor, and were similar to spider silk.

Li Yao brushed the silk away.

Twelve hours—

should have already passed.

He reached out to touch the cocoon.

"Benefactor Xiao Bai?"

"Master," Benefactor Xiao Bai replied quickly.

Its voice had changed once again—

a somewhat husky female voice,

but one could tell it was very young.

With a 'crack' sound,

a fissure appeared on the cocoon.

Immediately after, the silk-like cocoon threads peeled off layer by layer.

"This is..."

The entire insect body had changed from its original milky-white to a dark gray,

covered in black velvet hair.

The mouthparts at the front were as huge and ferocious as ever,

exactly the same as the one at the Insect Mother Battlefield!

Li Yao remembered what Kujo Mise had said earlier:

as long as one could fully understand all the abilities of this Insect Mother,

then for the Dragon Kingdom's professionals—no, for all human professionals—

it would be a great blessing!

Under the effect of the 【Master-Servant Contract】,

he and Benefactor Xiao Bai were in a master-servant relationship.

Li Yao didn't know if the 【Master-Servant Contract】 would remain in effect after the national border trial,

but limited to the present,

Benefactor Xiao Bai would definitely tell him everything!

However,

there was still some time before the national border trial ended.

There was no need to rush now;

there were more important things to do.

"Benefactor Xiao Bai, take a look now: can this corpse be consumed to breed a Mimic Demon Insect?" Li Yao asked.

Just like last night,

Benefactor Xiao Bai spent a few minutes examining the Titan Emperor's corpse.

"Yes."

"But I will die."

Benefactor Xiao Bai spoke, its tone devoid of any emotion.

"Master, since it means death, rather than using this corpse to breed a Mimic Demon Insect,"

"it would be better to take my offspring and go subjugate that creature in Area 246."

"Calculating Master's combat power, give me three more days, and it will be enough to breed an army of offspring capable of defeating that creature."

Once these words were spoken,

Li Yao was stunned in place.

Area numbers after two hundred were the Northern Areas.

Area 246—

It is the end of the forest.

There stands a heaven-reaching giant tree, whose trunk alone pierces the clouds!

And

a super-giant spider!

Li Yao cannot estimate just how giant it is.

At the very least, that terrifying spider abdomen is thicker than the tree trunk itself!

Without a doubt,

it is absolutely a Hegemon-tier entity!

This is the first time Xiao Bai has proactively suggested

wanting to devour a certain creature.

This is easy to understand.

Xiao Bai is the Broodmother of the Magic Insect race.

Its purpose for being born is to strengthen the race.

If it can breed a supreme combat unit for the insect swarm,

that is, the 'King' of the Magic Insect race,

then its mission is perfectly fulfilled.

Little Master, there is more to this chapter; please click the next page to continue reading, it gets even more exciting!

Perhaps

evolving from a larva to a complete form

is just to allow its own body

to grow enough to bear the energy required for the birth of the 'King'.

Through the sacrifice of the Broodmother,

the true 'King' of the Magic Insect race is born.

Li Yao muttered, "In that case, everything can be explained."

Once Xiao Bai promoted to its complete form,

it became desperate to devour that giant spider.

Under the cultivation of the Mimic Magic Insects of the Magic Insect race,

the Broodmother of the Magic Insect race must have long since promoted to its complete form.

Their goal is that giant spider to the north of the forest!

The 'Spider Empress' mentioned in the class advancement quest

is the 'King' of the Magic Insect race

that is born

after devouring the giant spider!

However,

the quest mentioned a 'well-matched opponent'.

Li Yao can say with confidence

that even having learned a Domain,

he is absolutely no match for that giant spider in a one-on-one fight right now!

"Xiao Bai, I want to ask,"

"if you absorb the creature you mentioned,"

"what level of strength would the bred Mimic Magic Insect have?"

This question is not difficult for Xiao Bai.

It quickly replied:

"That depends on how the Master chooses."

"If immediate combat power is needed, the bred Mimic Magic Insect will be slightly stronger than the original creature."

"But given the life level of that creature in Area 246, it won't be much stronger."

"But if that is the case, the bred creature will be the same as an ordinary Mimic Magic Insect,"

"its strength will never advance an inch in its lifetime."

"Master, I suggest another plan."

"Suppress its strength and give birth to a juvenile insect; it will be like an ordinary creature and gain the ability to evolve."
