Chapter 302: What Secret Realm Nine? This Is Simply Lord Mosquito’s Treasure Paradise
Chapter 302: Secret Realm Nine? More like Lord Mosquito’s Personal Paradise!
[Ding! Upgrading the Nether Flame Insect Nest to Level 12 requires 1,000 Evolution Points. Confirm?]
’Confirm! Of course I confirm!’
As 1,000 Evolution Points were deducted, Chu Sheng felt the entire Nether Flame Insect Nest tremble slightly. The space inside instantly doubled in size!
[Ding! The Nether Flame Insect Nest has been upgraded to Level 12! Current Insect Beast capacity: 128,000!]
’128,000?’
Chu Sheng glanced at the dense, dark ball of bees outside and felt it was still not enough.
Rumor had it this Secret Realm contained at least a hundred thousand Demon Bees—no, more like over one hundred and twenty thousand. After subtracting the sixty-four thousand Spirit-Devouring Worms, the remaining capacity was only a little over sixty thousand.
’That’s not enough either.’
’Not enough? Then I’ll just upgrade again!’
Chu Sheng glanced at his Evolution Point balance. He had just spent 1,000, and still had...
[Current Evolution Points: 66,020]
’No problem. The balance is more than enough. Keep upgrading!’
[Ding! Upgrading the Nether Flame Insect Nest to Level 13 requires 3,000 Evolution Points. Confirm?]
’Confirm!’
[Ding! The Nether Flame Insect Nest has been upgraded to Level 13! Current Insect Beast capacity: 256,000!]
’A capacity of two hundred fifty-six thousand!’
’That should be enough. I’ll leave it at that for now!’
After all that, Chu Sheng was still uneasy. He quickly used his absolute authority as the Nest Master to issue a strict order to all the Spirit-Devouring Worms inside the Nether Flame Insect Nest:
’All of you, enter a dormant state! If any of you dare to secretly reproduce and take up my space again, I’ll toss you out to feed the chickens!’
As the command was issued, the once-hyperactive Spirit-Devouring Worms inside the Insect Nest instantly fell silent, sinking into a deep slumber.
PHEW—
’All set!’
Chu Sheng heaved a long sigh of relief.
He flew up again. Facing the swarm of Bloodthirsty Demon Bees that were still frantically ramming the barrier, he recited in his mind:
’Absorb!’
SWOOSH—!
Outside the Divine Thought Cage, the thousands of once-frenzied Bloodthirsty Demon Bees were snatched up by an invisible hand. Before they could even struggle, they all vanished into thin air!
The deafening buzz from all around vanished in an instant.
One moment, the cage had been impenetrably besieged; the next, its surroundings were completely empty, clear once more.
This sudden turn of events made even Gu Yuexi, the Empress long accustomed to Chu Sheng’s various miraculous abilities, flash a look of utter amazement.
The ability to simply whisk away Demon Beasts, ignoring their grade and number, was simply too domineering, too heaven-defying.
Chu Sheng chuckled smugly.
He immersed his consciousness in the Nether Flame Insect Nest to inspect his latest haul.
The moment these Bloodthirsty Demon Bees were pulled inside, their bloodthirsty ferocity vanished completely, replaced by an absolute submission that stemmed from the very depths of their souls.
Their soul imprints had been completely rewritten by the Nether Flame Insect Nest. From this moment forward, Chu Sheng was their one and only master—their god!
All the Demon Bees hovered quietly in a corner of the Insect Nest Space, awaiting their new master’s inspection and commands.
Chu Sheng did a quick headcount. There were exactly 9,527 of them.
[Current Nether Flame Insect Nest Capacity: 73,527 / 256,000]
[Current Insect Beast Types: Spirit-Devouring Worm Larvae (32,000), Adult Spirit-Devouring Worms (Fourth-Grade Middle Stage, 30,000), Specially Modified Spirit-Devouring Worms (Fourth-Grade Middle Stage, 2,000), Bloodthirsty Demon Bees (9,527)]
[Special Individuals: New Roach Battle Treasure, Reconnaissance Louse, and several others...]
As Chu Sheng was inspecting his new underlings, he suddenly noticed something strange.
On the abdomen of each Bloodthirsty Demon Bee was a tiny, rice-grain-sized red dot of light, which emitted a faint but incredibly pure fluctuation of Qi Blood.
’What is this?’
Curious, Chu Sheng focused his consciousness on one of the dots to investigate it closely.
The next second, his eyes lit up!
’This... This is a Demon Beast’s Essence Blood Crystal!’
He understood instantly!
Ordinary bees go out, collect nectar, and bring it back to the hive to make honey.
But these Bloodthirsty Demon Bees, they collect the Essence Blood of Demon Beasts!
These red dots were the essence crystals they had formed after absorbing the Essence Blood from that Giant Rhinoceros Demon Beast!
And their goal, just like ordinary bees, was to bring these "spoils" back as tribute for the supreme ruler of the hive—the Queen Bee!
At this thought, Chu Sheng’s heart began to pound uncontrollably in his chest.
Inside the Nether Flame Insect Nest, his will was absolute Law!
With a single thought!
The red dots on the bodies of the more than nine thousand Bloodthirsty Demon Bees instantly detached, drawn together by some mysterious force and rapidly converging.
Countless tiny, blood-red crystals fused, compressed, and refined themselves...
...finally forming a fist-sized, perfectly round Blood and Qi Crystal Ball, as translucent and dazzling as a ruby!
This crystal ball contained an astonishingly vast amount of Qi Blood Energy. Furthermore, having undergone preliminary refinement by the Demon Bees, its purity was even higher than the Demon Beast Essence Blood that Chu Sheng absorbed directly!
’Holy crap!’
’This isn’t some crystal! This is a goddamn giant, mobile blood bag!’
Chu Sheng was so excited he was practically drooling.
’I’m rich! I’m rich!’
With another thought, he extracted the Blood and Qi Crystal Ball—a condensation of the Essence Blood from nearly ten thousand Demon Beasts—from the Nether Flame Insect Nest, levitating it right in front of him.
Staring at the "super lollipop" giving off its tempting aura, Chu Sheng couldn’t hold back any longer.
He lunged forward, viciously plunged his sharp mouthparts into the crystal ball, and began to drink from it frantically!
BOOM!!!
A torrential, pure, and violent wave of Blood Energy surged through his mouthparts and flooded his body, like water from a collapsing dam!
’Holy fuck! What a rush!’
’This is even more satisfying than draining a hundred school beauties!’
[Ding! Host detected to be absorbing high-purity Blood Energy...]
[Ding! You have successfully absorbed 9,527 points of Qi Blood! Estimated gain after full digestion: 952.7 Evolution Points!]
[Current Evolution Points: 130,427]
Hearing the system prompts, Chu Sheng’s eyes widened even further!
’Over ninety-five hundred points of Qi Blood? Nearly a thousand Evolution Points?!’
’Holy crap! That’s a ton!’
’That’s almost equivalent to the total amount of Qi Blood provided by a single drop of Emperor-level Essence Blood!’
Of course, Chu Sheng understood that the drop of Emperor-level Essence Blood he’d absorbed before had only converted into ten thousand points of Qi Blood because his constitution hadn’t been strong enough. He couldn’t fully absorb the immense energy, and a large portion had been used to temper and strengthen his body instead.
But even so, this was more than enough to prove the value of the Blood and Qi Crystal Ball before him!
’Awesome!’
’This feels absolutely incredible!’
’This move not only netted me nearly ten thousand fearless, Fourth-Grade Insect Beast underlings, but I also scored almost ten thousand points of Qi Blood and nearly a thousand Evolution Points for free!’
’What a massive score!’
’What am I waiting for?’
’I’ve got to keep going!’
’How could this be the treacherous Secret Realm Nine? This is clearly a personal paradise, tailor-made just for me!’
’There’s Qi Blood to drink, Evolution Points to gain, and underlings to recruit!’
Chu Sheng buzzed with excitement, urging Gu Yuexi on as he charged toward the next red-glowing cluster of bees that appeared in his Nether Vision!
