Chapter 153: Disguise
"Go, find someone else for me to check how the capture operation at the canteen is progressing?" Feng Qi asked again.
Feng Qi gave the order to the insect-man beside him.
That insect-man stood there dazed, and only after one of the rolled-out insect-men rolled back did he assign another insect-man to the task.
Feng Qi: "..."
That insect-man ran with incredible speed, and in no time, he rushed back just as fast.
"My lord, the capture operation is complete. Four are dead, and thirty have been captured. Adding the thirty-five here, the numbers match," the new insect-man reported.
"Go bring them all to me," Feng Qi continued to instruct.
After the insect-man left, Feng Qi walked in front of the many schoolchildren.
"I heard you have repeatedly ruined my great plans," Feng Qi shouted loudly.
The many schoolchildren all looked blank, seeming to think Feng Qi had a screw loose.
After all, a group of schoolchildren looked like they had nothing to do with anyone who would cause trouble.
Feng Qi snorted in annoyance and continued, "The Priest believes the changes here are so great that one of you schoolchildren must have appeared as a variable capable of interfering with the River of Time.
Hmph, I don't care about variables or not. As long as I take you all back to refine you into insect-men,
there will be no variables left."
Su Jin and the others heard this and their faces all changed color; were they really going to be refined into insect-men?
Despair immediately filled everyone's hearts!!
Who would want to be transformed into such an ugly thing?
Just at that moment, a squad of insect-men along with chefs and kitchen workers appeared inside the canteen. Each of them was carrying a caterpillar.
Yes, the caterpillars were children wrapped up in ropes to look like caterpillars.
Once everyone had gathered together, Feng Qi gave a hand signal to the insect-man who had almost driven him crazy just moments ago.
Go!
The insect-man immediately nodded, then shouted loudly, "Get a few people to tie them up too."
Feng Qi widened his eyes: I told you to go, not to tie people up.
That insect-man remained oblivious!
At his command, insect-men immediately rushed out and tied Su Jin and the others up into caterpillars as well.
During the tying process, naturally, some children tried to run away.
Catching the children also delayed things a bit.
Su Jin recognized almost at a glance who was running over to catch and tie her up.
Isn't that my big brother?!
Oh, oh!
So that's how it is.
Su Jin helplessly offered no resistance, letting her big brother tie her up into a caterpillar.
Su Wuji and the others tried to run, but they didn't get out and were instead beaten black and blue for nothing.
What a disaster!
However, Su Jin looked speechlessly at the insect-man (her big brother) who had arranged her and the other caterpillars held by insect-men in exactly the same pose, thinking to herself: "Big brother, are you messing with me?"
Don't think I won't tell on you. When my father returns, I will definitely make him spank your bottom.
"Are we done? We should be going," Feng Qi said in a low voice.
"Going, going," the insect-man said along with him, looking a bit foolish.
Feng Qi didn't even want to look at him anymore, fearing he might lose control of his inner impulse and kill him.
By that time, these two thousand insect-men would go out of control.
After all, these two thousand insect-men were actually borrowed by them from other mother nests.
Feng Qi led the squad rushing quickly down Mount Woniu, then turned into the neighboring nameless small mountain.
Their base was actually so close to Mount Woniu!
It truly surprised Su Jin greatly.
On this nameless small mountain, there was a pile of scattered rocks recessed underground.
Feng Qi led them all the way here, then skillfully opened the stone door here.
The stone door was hidden beneath the pile of scattered rocks.
As soon as the stone door opened, the scattered rocks fell underground.
Once the scattered rocks fell underground, their weight caused another doorway to appear on the artificially excavated stone wall.
Opening this doorway requires blood.
Feng Qi's blood.
"Alright, we have finally returned to the mother nest," Feng Qi said.
The insect-man standing behind him nodded along. Then he smashed something onto the back of Feng Qi's head.
Feng Qi instantly fainted.
The insect-man coldly had someone drag Feng Qi away, then peeled off the human-skin mask on his face. Underneath, Xu Yunrui's face was revealed.
"Report to President Director Bao Junyi. We have found the number one mother nest outside the city," Xu Yunrui ordered.
"As you command," another insect-man said in a low voice, then immediately went to contact Director Bao Junyi.
Less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea passed, and the main force of the Patrol Department arrived.
As soon as they arrived, the cultivators who had been pretending to be insect-men one by one stripped off their foul-smelling equipment.
This face, this skin, these horns were all forcibly peeled off from dead insect-men.
Even after some treatment, it still smelled terrible.
The stench was enough to turn them into smoked fish.
"Father, why are you here? Didn't you go out on a mission?" Su Cheng was shocked to discover that the insect-man who had captured him was actually his own father in disguise.
Was this really a "surprise"?
"If you wanted to capture me, just capture me. Why did you specifically beat me up just now?" Su Cheng immediately became displeased.
Father is truly wicked!
He even used the opportunity to beat me?
Actually, it wasn't just him; even Su Wuji had been beaten up by his own grandfather.
He was beaten so miserably!
At least his handsome little face was gone for several days.
A fat, foolish, chubby, green-faced plate was what he had become.
"Grandfather, you are too excessive. You made us bait without telling us beforehand. I almost thought I was going to die; I had actually planned to bite my tongue off and commit suicide in a moment." Once Su Wuji was released by his grandfather, he immediately launched a condemnation against him.
Su Wuji's grandfather simply let out a cold snort. "You couldn't even see such an obvious trap. In the future, when you go out on missions yourself, I'm afraid even your grandfather won't be able to retrieve your bones."
Su Wuji's little face turned red. But it couldn't be seen; his face was ruined.
"Besides, the fact that you didn't know it was a trap is what allowed five small teams to escape from the cafeteria. That is quite good. Being able to flee under the threat of insect-men and still fight your way out of the encirclement makes you far superior to your senior sisters and brothers." After Su Wuji's grandfather finished his complaint, he offered praise. "Truly worthy of being the grandson of Su Changxun."
The key point was that the performance of the first-year students in the clan school this time was too astonishing.
A total of five teams emerged, thirty-five people.
And they all fought their way out.
Su Changxun remembered that when he was young, the Su family had never produced such monstrous little students.
No wonder the shape-shifting insects lurking in Xiancheng spared the Four Great Academies, spared the clan schools of other families, and even spared the other grades of the Su clan school, but specifically plotted against this group of tiny first-year students.
They even exposed the No. 1 Mother Nest.
Their losses this time would likely be so great that the shape-shifting insect priest lurking within Xiancheng would be unable to sit still.
Moreover, the young cultivator Xu Yunrui, who was responsible for setting up the trap, left the Su family cultivators temporarily reassigned from outside in awe; his calculations were truly flawless.
Of course, the only thing he hadn't expected was that the first-year students of the Su family would be able to fight their way out of the cafeteria in five separate groups.
