Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

"Third Princess, we meet again." Bai Lan appeared in front of the Third Princess Claire in her true form. As Bai Lan appeared, the Third Princess recognized her almost instantly - the familiar mental fluctuations had already been firmly locked by Claire. Unless Bai Lan could completely disguise her soul, there was no way she could escape her perception.

Claire's pupils suddenly contracted, and cold murderous intent surged in her eyes.

As expected, we failed to completely eliminate this race of people back then, and now they have become a disaster!
"How dare you appear in front of me?!"

Bai Lan chuckled, and her ordinary face now revealed an uncomfortable mockery: "What? You stole my things, and you're afraid that I'll come back to collect the debt?"

Claire was so furious that scarlet pheromones suddenly burst out from her body, spreading like a blood mist.

The surrounding Scarlet Guards instantly went into a state of frenzy and pounced towards Bai Lan and Lin Yi.

But unfortunately, these Scarlet Guards are just the best among the third-level Zerg.

They might be more than enough to deal with ordinary Zerg, but in front of the Abyss Demon Beast, they are nothing but prey delivered to their doorstep.

The Scarlet Guards at the front had just raised their insect limbs and had no time to launch an attack when a violent abyss demon beast roared and rushed towards them.

With the sharp sound of bones breaking, the Scarlet Guards in the front row were instantly crushed into bloody debris.

The leading Abyss Demon Beast swept across with its thick tail, cutting a dozen Scarlet Guards in half.

Other demon beasts also rushed into the insect swarm and started slaughtering like a tiger into a flock of sheep.

Seeing this, Claire's eyes flashed with horror.

She never imagined that the troops she had carefully trained would be so vulnerable in front of this group of Zerg.

"Level four? No, it's definitely not level four, otherwise you wouldn't have to come here to snatch the super-biological crystal core." The Third Princess thought quickly and immediately realized the crux of the problem.

"Strong, I am willing to submit to you." The Third Princess knelt on one knee with an extremely respectful attitude.

I have to admit that she is indeed a flexible person.

Seeing her carefully trained Scarlet Guards being crushed like ants in front of Lin Yi's Abyss Demon Beast, she decisively chose the most sensible survival strategy.

This scene completely stunned the princesses nearby.

He was so aggressive one moment, threatening to wrestle Lin Yi, but the next second he knelt down and begged for mercy? What a change of expression!

"What do you mean?" Lin Yi ignored the Third Princess who was kneeling on the ground, and turned his head to look at Bai Lan.

Bai Lan has never had the habit of raising a tiger to harm herself, and what's more, she knows better than anyone how terrifying the Zerg's ability to mass-produce troops is in this world.

The Third Princess's submission at this moment was only due to Lin Yi's absolute suppression power.

Once Lin Yi leaves, given her ambition and means, she will definitely turn against him immediately, or even retaliate more severely.

Seeing Bai Lan shaking her head, the surrounding abyss demon beasts immediately surrounded her, and their heavy footsteps were like the drumbeats of death.

"No!" The Third Princess screamed in terror. Before she finished her voice, an abyss demon beast had already raised its giant foot and stomped down!
"boom!"

Flesh and blood burst and bones shattered into pieces.

The once invincible third princess of the Zerg was now nothing but a pool of blurry blood mud.

Following Lin Yi's order, these abyss demon beasts seemed to have untied some kind of shackles and rushed up madly one by one.

The remaining princesses would naturally not sit and wait for death, but the combat Zergs in their hands were already few and far between - the previous infighting caused the various forces to consume each other, and the elite troops were almost completely destroyed.

At this moment, facing these ferocious abyss demon beasts, their resistance seemed so pale and powerless.

After just ten minutes, the battlefield fell silent.

Except for a few Zerg queens that were deliberately left behind, the rest of the Zerg were all killed. Their body parts covered the charred ground, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

When the princesses were escorted to Lin Yi, they had already lost their former arrogance. They knelt on the ground tremblingly, their foreheads pressed against the ground, their voices filled with humility and fear: "Great and powerful one."

Ironically, not long ago, they were secretly laughing at the Third Princess for being cowardly and spineless.

But now when it was their turn, they knelt faster and more humblely than anyone else.

"Where is the super-biological crystal core?"

Just as the eldest princess was about to speak, the fourth princess raised her head first and answered quickly: "My lord, the super biological crystal core is in the warehouse behind you, but before the queen mother died, she used special means to seal the entrance, and none of us can open it." There was a bit of panic in her voice, fearing that answering slowly would bring about a catastrophe.

After getting the exact location, Lin Yi didn't have the patience to look for the warehouse key - in the face of absolute power, any blockade was useless.

As he controlled their thoughts, several abyss demon beasts slowly retreated a few steps, then suddenly accelerated and slammed into the warehouse door like a battering ram.

"boom--!"

A deafening crash resounded throughout the space, and the heavy metal door instantly sank and deformed, but surprisingly, this seemingly ordinary door actually withstood the first round of impact.

Amid the harsh sound of metal twisting, the door still stubbornly remained intact.

Under the second round of more violent impact from the Abyss Demon Beast, accompanied by the sharp sound of metal breaking, the entire door finally couldn't bear the weight and was knocked away, smashing heavily on the ground inside the warehouse.

The moment the door opened, an invisible spiritual shock wave swept out like a tsunami.

The few abyss demon beasts standing in the front didn't even have time to howl before their huge bodies collapsed to the ground and they fell into a deep coma.

"Interesting. Before dying, he not only sealed the door, but also set a trap. I underestimated this old bug."

The other princesses shuddered involuntarily upon seeing this.

They looked at each other with horror in their eyes - no one had expected that the Insect King, who was considered stupid and foolish in their minds, would actually have such a sinister back-up plan.

If Lin Yi had not interfered today, no matter which force won, they would suffer a mental shock the moment the warehouse was opened.

At that time, the winner will be defenseless and become a lamb to be slaughtered, and the real winner will probably be the Insect King who has long been dead.

After waiting for about ten seconds and confirming that there was no other movement in the warehouse, Lin Yi patted the demon beast under his seat and slowly stepped into the warehouse.

The interior of the warehouse at this time was completely different from when Lin Yi came here before. All the shelves holding various goods were thrown aside.

In the center of the warehouse, a three-meter-high insect egg stood quietly. Under the translucent egg membrane, a humanoid body could be vaguely seen wriggling - it was obviously a newborn insect mother that was in the making.

However, Lin Yi sensed something inconsistent. The power of the abyss was extremely sensitive to the breath of life, and the newborn insect mother in front of him was emitting stale soul fluctuations, which was definitely not the breath of a newborn.

"It's quite interesting that it completed its reincarnation right under the eyes of a bunch of people." After Bai Lan felt the spiritual fluctuations on the insect egg, she immediately recognized that this was the Insect King who was poisoned to death by the princesses!
As if sensing someone breaking into the warehouse, an arm covered with chitin suddenly pierced the cyst wall, and corrosive digestive fluid dripped from its sharp fingertips.

"Hehe." A hoarse gasp came from the insect egg, and a distorted female voice came out intermittently: "Who is disturbing my resuscitation?"

The insect egg suddenly vibrated violently, and the other arm broke out of the wall.

Grab the crack of the insect egg with both hands and tear it apart with force.

Viscous nutrient solution gushed out, and a deformed humanoid creature slowly crawled out of the egg.

The newborn body of the Insect King was a sickly grayish-white color, its back was hunched, and its six pairs of underdeveloped wings were deformedly stuck together.

Due to Lin Yi's sudden intrusion, the Insect King's new body was severely affected and appeared abnormally thin, even weaker than when Lin Yi first met Jila.

However, her mental strength remained undiminished.

As an invisible spiritual wave swept across the entire warehouse, hundreds of fighting Zerg lurking in the dark broke out of the boxes and surged in like a tide, instantly surrounding Lin Yi and Bai Lan.

Obviously, the Insect King had already made a backup plan.

If one of her daughters dared to intrude here, these elite fighting Zerg would immediately teach her who the real ruler is.

As fate would have it, the person standing before her this time was not her offspring, but Lin Yi.

Facing the swarm of insects, Lin Yi sneered, and hundreds of ferocious abyss demon beasts suddenly appeared behind him.

Without any words, a brutal fight broke out between the two sides as soon as they met.

The warehouse instantly turned into a bloody battlefield. The crisp sound of shattering shells, the dull sound of sharp claws tearing flesh, and the shrill screams of the Zerg before their death intertwined and echoed in the enclosed space.

Lin Yi stood still, staring at the insect king that had just crawled out of the insect egg.

"The dignified Insect King is now hiding here like a lost dog."

The Insect King's face twisted, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes: "How dare a mere human dare to..."

Her words came to an abrupt end because Lin Yi suddenly raised his hand and a ray of sword energy instantly pierced through her shoulder.

The Insect King let out a cry of pain and staggered back a few steps.

"Where is the super biological crystal core?" Lin Yi didn't want to waste time talking to the Insect King. At this time, the fighting insects under the Insect King had been killed by the Abyss Demon Beast.

Although these fighting Zergs are all fourth-order fighting Zergs that the Zerg King has cultivated with great difficulty, I am sorry to say that in front of the Abyss Demon Beast, unless they are top-level fourth-order fighting Zergs, no matter how many of them come, they will all die.

"Damn it, who sent you here? Hong'e, Mag, or Baixi?" The Insect King didn't believe that Lin Yi, an ordinary human, could control such powerful fighting insects.

In the Insect King's opinion, one of the three fourth-order insect species must have discovered his plan to escape, so he sent Lin Yi to stop him.

"Lord Hong'e asked me to say hello to you."

"Hong'e." Hearing the name Lin Yi called out, the Insect King took two deep breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart.

In the Insect Queen's speculation, the biggest suspect should have been Bai Xi - the fourth-order insect nest closest to her hiding place.

Hong'e's territory is far away in the center of the continent, so it is unlikely that he would be aware of her plan.

But at this moment, this seemingly unreasonable answer made the Insect King even more convinced. If Hong'e had not been deliberately scheming, how could he have crossed such a long distance to stop her?
What's more, the Zerg King knows all about the Hundred Blasts of Combat Zerg.

The fighting styles of these abyss demon beasts in front of them are completely different from those of the Zerg under Bai Xi, and are closer to the training routes of Hong Er or Mag.

She could never have imagined that these powerful combat units that made her fearful actually came from the hands of a third-level insect queen.

Lin Yi noticed that there was a subtle hint of slackness in the Insect King's tone. It was obvious that the Insect King must have had contact with Hong'e and they must have had a grudge against each other, otherwise his tone would not have been so gnashing when he mentioned Hong'e.

"Lord Hong'e asked me to tell you that it's time to settle the previous account."

The Insect King's body visibly stiffened for a moment. This detail made Lin Yi certain that he had guessed correctly - there was indeed a grudge between Hong'e and the Insect King.

"Forget it! Forget it! The victor takes it all. I failed to advance to the fourth level back then. I didn't expect that three hundred years later, I still failed to advance to the fourth level." Her voice became lower and lower, and finally became almost a mutter to herself, and her whole body exuded an aura of decadence.

Lin Yi watched coldly, knowing that his psychological tactics had worked and the Insect King's last bit of will to resist had completely dissipated.

The Insect King moved his body, and his front limbs trembled as he reached into the broken remains of the insect eggs to search.

After a moment, she took out an energy crystal as big as a human head.

【Super Biological Crystal Core】

Origin: Thorn Star
Quality: Epic
Category: Special Materials

Effect 1: It can be used as the core catalytic material for high-level biotechnology equipment/medicines, significantly improving the activity and growth potential of finished products.

Effect 2: The stable bioenergy contained in the crystal core will form a "gene buffer layer" to suppress the runaway bioenergy in the insect mother when it advances to the fourth-level insect emperor, and avoid the body disintegration caused by energy overload. Using this item to advance can greatly improve the potential of the insect emperor.

Rating: 700 points

Introduction: A must-have for the Zerg to advance to the fourth-level Zerg King.

Price: 315000 Paradise Coins.

……

Lin Yi took the super biological crystal core and took a look at its properties. He finally understood why Jila said that this thing was necessary to advance to the fourth level.

The mechanism of action of this crystal core is similar to the foundation-building pill in cultivation novels.

In the long evolutionary history of the Zerg, the fourth stage is a crucial watershed - when an ordinary Zerg Queen breaks through, the biological energy in her body will become extremely violent, and more than 90% of the individuals will explode and die because they cannot withstand the energy impact.

The super-biological crystal core can stabilize the energy runaway during the evolution process and ensure that the body of the breakthrough person will not fall apart.

Lin Yi was a little speechless. If he had known that this crystal core only had the function of stabilizing energy, with his healing ability, even if something unexpected happened to Jila during the evolution process, a healing spell would be enough to save the situation. There was no need to put in so much effort.

But on second thought, using this item to advance also has its benefits. Not only is it safe, it can also stimulate the potential of the Zerg, allowing the evolved individuals to gain a stronger growth ceiling.

After getting the things, Lin Yi walked up to the Insect King and personally sent him off.

The former ruler had completely lost his fighting spirit at this moment, with only despair and darkness in his eyes.

At the moment the sword blade brushed across the Insect King's neck, the reminder sound of the Samsara Paradise also sounded at the right time.

[It was detected that the hunter had destroyed 5/5 of the third-stage insect nests. Because the charm attribute reached the standard, a hidden reward was obtained. 】

Introduction: When the insect swarms in like a tide, they finally realize that you are the real scourge.

Price: Not for sale

Lin Yi activated this new title with great interest, and in an instant, an invisible pressure spread out with him as the center.

The surrounding abyss demon beasts suddenly let out terrified roars, and their limbs scratched the ground restlessly.

"Quiet."

As Lin Yi issued the order, the restless swarm of insects around him instantly quieted down, but their shells were still trembling slightly, showing how terrifying the deterrent power brought by this title was.

As for Bai Lan, she was currently searching for rare supplies in the warehouse. After all, her previous business was completely taken over by the Third Princess, and many things were confiscated before she had time to pack them up. Now of course she had to make up for the losses quickly.

"gone."

Lin Yi had no plan to stay here any longer, and now he needed to send this super biological crystal core back immediately.

As long as this crystal core is delivered to Jila in time and she completes the fourth-level evolution, the pattern of the entire continent will be completely changed.

After leaving the warehouse, Lin Yi's figure instantly disappeared into the shadow plane.

Those abyss demon beasts received new instructions: return to the hive on their own.

Without the assistance of the alchemy array, it would be too energy-consuming to teleport all these behemoths into the shadow plane at once, and Lin Yi didn't want to waste half a day on this.

The feeling of traveling alone in the shadow plane was extremely refreshing. Without the drag of the insect swarm, Lin Yi was like a fish returning to familiar waters, and his movement speed increased by several times.

Just two hours later, Lin Yi reappeared in the insect nest.

The camp seemed particularly empty at this time, with only hundreds of abyss demon beasts on guard patrol.

The rest of the fighting Zerg were taken out by Su Xiao to sweep the surrounding Zerg nests and collect the biological energy needed for Jila's evolution.

"Jila."

After hearing Lin Yi's voice, Jila cautiously poked half of his body out from the depths of the insect nest.

After seeing Jila, Lin Yi didn't say much and directly threw the super biological crystal core over.

"Advance to the fourth level as soon as possible, and you can stop doing other things for the time being." Hearing Lin Yi's order, Jila nodded, and returned to the insect nest with the super-biological crystal core in his hand.

Just one minute later, the entire insect nest suddenly shook violently.

The outer wall of the nest began to glow with an emerald-like luster and expanded outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The thick biological tissue squirmed and grew like a living thing, and in a blink of an eye it completely occupied the central area of ​​the camp.

Lin Yi was well prepared and moved a recliner to guard the entrance of the insect nest.

He leaned back in his chair leisurely, but his eyes never left the transforming insect nest.

At this critical moment, there is no room for error.

An hour later, Su Xiao also returned to the base camp with his prey.

Upon learning that Jila had begun to advance, Su Xiao immediately gave up his hunting plan.

Soon, the entire insect nest was filled with patrolling abyss demon beasts.

Any creature that dares to approach will be torn into pieces in an instant. (End of this chapter)
