Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 699 699: Mobilization

In the Cyan Armor Star Realm, at the center of the entire star realm, there is a spherical object.

The entire sphere is a pale purple, resembling a vine ball woven from vines.

However, unlike an ordinary vine ball, this one is excessively large.

This is the nest of the Cyan Beetle Race.

It is hundreds of times larger than the largest star in the Cyan Armor Star Realm, built up slowly over many years by countless Cyan Beetles, growing to its current immense size.

The nest houses countless Cyan Beetles, who live according to their status, each performing their respective duties.

The ones responsible for monitoring the sensory network are a group of insect race members with three pairs of cyan carapace wings on their backs, tall, about five to six meters in size.

The three-winged Cyan Beetles are lower middle-tier power in the Cyan Beetle Swarm, their combat abilities not particularly strong, mainly responsible for various menial tasks.

They possess more intelligence than the lower-level insect race in their group, having self-awareness.

However, due to their insufficient power, they are not considered a core combat force and can only perform auxiliary tasks.

Only four-winged and five-winged Cyan Beetles are considered the backbone, while six-winged and seven-winged ones are categorized as high-end combat strength.

As for the eight-winged, currently, there's only the Cyan Beetle King.

"Foreign entities detected." A three-winged Cyan Beetle was the first to detect Herag and his party, and then relayed this information, reaching all those responsible for monitoring the sensory network.

Because all tribes in the Insect Race Plane possess the talent for intelligence sharing, this ability actually causes some troubles.

It results in information overload, making it impossible for some lower-level insect races to process all the data.

In their subsequent evolution, the tribes in the Insect Race Plane have developed some methods to solve these problems.

They can now choose which information to receive or block, allowing information to be precisely transmitted to certain members without reaching everyone.

Usually, only extremely urgent information is disseminated to the whole tribe, which is rare, thus reducing much distress.

The information about Herag and his party was quickly relayed to the higher-level Cyan Beetles.

Their first response upon receiving the information was to evaluate the power levels of Herag and his party.

As for Toad and Herag, they could vaguely sense their power levels, which seemed to be around Level 6 or Level 7.

Since they were concealing their auras, the Cyan Beetles couldn't accurately determine their power levels.

Regarding the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor, they couldn't gather any information about its power level at all, making it impossible to know the strength of the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor.

In addition to assessing power levels, they must also conduct a risk assessment to determine the purpose of these strangers.

They were unclear about the purpose of Herag and his party, but they could tell the group didn't come for the Cyan Beetle Race, clearly just passing through.

Their route made this apparent, as they skirted around the Cyan Armor Star Realm entirely.

However, just because Herag and his party weren't targeting the Cyan Beetle Race doesn't mean the Cyan Beetle Race wouldn't seek trouble with them.

The Cyan Beetles responsible for monitoring sensory networks have another duty beyond risk warning, which is procuring food.

Upon discovering powerful entities, they issue a warning, preparing their tribe for battle against external threats.

Upon finding weaker entities, they dispatch individuals to hunt them.

Even though Herag and Toad possess Level 6 to Level 7 strength, they aren't significant in the eyes of the Cyan Beetle Race.

Level 6 and Level 7 lives are both on the Cyan Beetle Race's menu.

Level 7 lives are indeed quite powerful, but an ant can bite to death an elephant—given the overall strength of the Cyan Beetle Race, a single Level 7 life can certainly be captured.

For the Cyan Beetle Race, a Level 7 life like Herag is the best raw material for consolidating the Heart of the Insect Race.

Level 7 lives have already connected to the Mother River, and the Cyan Beetle Race can use them as nourishment to enrich the "nutrition" of the Heart of the Insect Race.

Thus, after this information was escalated, an internal combat plan was quickly formulated, preparing to dispatch personnel to hunt Herag and his three companions.

An independent acting Level 7 life is a rarity in the Insect Race Plane.

Usually, it's quite challenging for the Cyan Beetles to obtain Level 7 lives, necessitating an invasion of other tribes, which would be costly.

Now that a seemingly lone Level 7 life is passing by, the Cyan Beetles can't let this opportunity slip.

As for the strength unknown Thousand-Eyed Ancestor, they treat it as Level 7, merely believing this odd life form might have special means to disguise its aura, hence undetectable.

They never considered the possibility of the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor being a Ninth-level life, as it's nearly impossible in the Insect Race Plane.

Ninth-level lives in the Insect Race Plane are eminent figures in powerful tribes, akin to ancestors, and would not wander alone like this.

Moreover, from the Cyan Beetle Race's perspective, if Herag and his party were particularly powerful, they wouldn't travel with such caution.

They carefully observed Herag and his party's behavior, combining various information to reach this conclusion.

Since the Cyan Armor Star Realm is vast, Herag and his party wouldn't be able to leave quickly, providing ample time to gather and analyze information.

The tribes in the Insect Race Plane excel in utilizing the brains of other tribe members for information analysis.

Their collective brainpower forms something akin to a supercomputer, processing massive amounts of information and instantly reaching conclusions.

They fully exploit their tribal advantages.

Herag and his party were overly cautious on their journey, proceeding with extreme care, nothing resembling the presence of a Ninth-level.

After reaching these conclusions, the Cyan Beetle Race mobilized, with batch after batch of Cyan Beetles flying out of the nest, all massive four-winged and five-winged insect race members.

Additionally, six-winged and seven-winged Cyan Beetles commanded the insect race army, totaling over one hundred thousand members.

Despite their vast numbers, they acted methodically, maintaining very orderly operations without chaos.

This coordination ability is something many races find difficult to mimic or learn, unable to reach such levels.

The Thousand-Eyed Ancestor glanced into the depths of the Cyan Armor Star Realm, saying, "Trouble is coming."

"What's the matter?" Herag asked.

"If I'm correct, the insect race in that star realm has already mobilized, targeting us. I can clearly feel this focus; they are watching us," the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor said.

"So soon." Herag didn't expect these insect races to act so quickly.

From the moment the Thousand-Eyed Ancestor sensed they were being watched to the insect race's mobilization, only ten minutes had passed.
