Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

As for Bubuwangwang who was advancing towards the north, he encountered some trouble at this moment.

It was lying on the head of an abyss demon beast, looking ahead vigilantly.

Opposite Bubuwanggu is a fighting Zerg that looks like a giant butterfly, but its body is covered with carapace and its wings have a metallic texture. When its wings are spread, the body width of this fighting Zerg is at least seven meters.

Although the hissing sounds of the Zerg were mostly similar, Bubuwangwang still roughly understood what they meant.

The other party said that this was Lord Hong'e's sphere of influence, and asked Bubuwang to take the Devil Beast away.

As a combat Zerg of the Red Eruption Hive, Ogui can feel the threat from the Abyss Demon Beast.

The most terrifying thing is the group of Star Guards controlled by the Black Shadow Legion behind Bubuwang.

They stood silently, surrounded by a suffocating pressure.

Egui couldn't help but want to kneel down just by looking at the other party. This is the instinctive fear of low-level life forms facing higher-level existences.

After all, Egui is just a fourth-level Zerg, and is naturally at a disadvantage in terms of rank when facing a fifth-level Zerg.

Although Egui didn't know whether any new changes had occurred on the continent, his intuition told him that the team that had broken into the territory was definitely not simple.

Be it the demon beast that exudes the breath of the abyss, or those star guards controlled by the shadow army, they are definitely not something that can be controlled by ordinary forces.

That is why it came to negotiate with Bubuwang this time - if it were any other time, facing the invaders, the fighting Zerg of the Red Evil Hive would have already attacked them in groups.

"Woof woof woof! (I can't decide this matter.)"

"Sisila. (Who can decide?)"

"Woof-Woof-Woof. (Come back with me.)" Bubuwang raised his paw and pointed in the direction behind him.

Although the two sides used completely different languages, with the help of Bubuwang's vivid body movements, Egui was able to barely understand its meaning.

At least for now, the other party does not seem to show obvious hostility, which can barely be considered good news.

Soon, Bubuwang reported the encounter with Egui to Su Xiao and Lin Yi through the temporary communication channel.

At this time, the night gradually faded, the sky at the edge of the forest was already turning pale, and the faint light of morning light penetrated the mist, coating the earth with a hazy golden edge.

Su Xiao asked Bubu Wang to take Ergui back first, and the others would go back later.

Thirty minutes later, Bubuwang led Egui back to the base camp.

The moment Egui stepped into the camp, he suddenly felt something strange.

For some reason, when it came here, it always felt as if it had become much heavier and it was very difficult to move.

At the same time, Su Xiao and Lin Yi had returned to the base camp.

In the camp, Su Xiao and Lin Yi had been waiting for a long time.

Surprisingly, Jila, who had always lived deep in the insect nest, showed up on his own initiative this time.

This "shut-in" was standing quietly behind the two of them at this moment, his slender fingers unconsciously twisting the corners of his clothes.

"Hi~"

Under the guidance of Bubuwang, Egui came in front of the three people.

It scanned quickly, its sight directly passing over Su Xiao and Lin Yi, and finally locked firmly on Jila.

"Hi~"

A boil appeared on Erguidie's back, and it burst with a pop, splashing green fluid everywhere.

In the mass of slime, a shirtless female figure slowly stood up.

The sides of her cheeks were covered with chitinous shells. She had no hair on her head, but instead had several sharp knife-like bone armors that glowed coldly in the morning light.

"Submit to me, my inferior."

The woman on the back of the Erguidie spoke. She was a fourth-stage Zerg queen. Of course, the one who appeared now was not her mother.

In other words, it was this fourth-stage queen who gave birth to the Zerg queen that was once Jira, and that Zerg queen gave birth to Jira.

Jila's body visibly stiffened for a moment. Theoretically, this queen mother could indeed be considered her "grandmother".

But in the cruel evolutionary system of the Zerg, blood ties are meaningless - even if the Zerg queen who directly bred Jira comes in person, she cannot have any control over the current Jira.

"I reject."

Jila's mental fluctuations spread, and the surrounding demon beasts roared.

Their sharp claws tore through the ground and fanned out towards Erguither, waiting for a signal to tear the fourth-tier combat Zerg into pieces.

"It's a shame you chose to refuse."

"Your way is wrong. Mag will attack you soon."

The Zerg Queen seemed to have not negotiated with other intelligent creatures for a long time, and her initial tone seemed particularly stiff.

But as the conversation continued, her language fluency improved at a visible rate.

Su Xiao and Lin Yi looked at each other. On the Thornworm Star, the name "Mag" only represents one force, which is the insect nest whose eleven life stones were "taken away" by Bubuwang.

However, this was also expected. Ever since Jila was promoted to the fourth level, Su Xiao and Lin Yi have led the Abyss Demon Beast Legion to continuously expand their territory.

The spheres of influence of the two Zerg nests are not far apart. Given the sphere of influence of the Zerg, it is normal for the other side to be able to sense the existence of Jila.

"Mag is an alien. She evolves in the same way as you do, hunting other insect nests to strengthen herself. The insect nests you hunt are her prey."

"In that case, why doesn't she stop us from hunting?"

Jila spoke according to Lin Yi's instructions. The two of them could not figure out the purpose of the Zerg Queen's visit for the time being.

"She is waiting, waiting for other hives to grow stronger. She will hunt once every 300 star-moons (days), and then continue to wait. This has been repeated for 25 rounds. When she finds you, she won't be too friendly."

The Zerg Queen placed her hand on the back of the Ergui butterfly, and her lower body separated from the Ergui butterfly's body, and the red shell grew rapidly on her body.

"I am Ta-tut... Red Evil, the oldest Zerg on this continent."

Judging from Hong'e's few words, the purpose of her visit was ambiguous - she did not come with murderous intentions, but she was definitely not visiting with good intentions either.

The ancient Zerg Queen first extended an olive branch to Jira, but after being rejected outright, she quietly brought up Mag as a potential threat.

Su Xiao and Lin Yi are both experienced people, how could they be intimidated by this level of psychological tactics?
"Hong'e, your tribe is far away from here."

When Su Xiao spoke, he deliberately skipped the communication method through Jila. Although negotiation through Jila was a good way, the Zerg queen who stayed at home was too weak.

"Humans..." Hong'e looked at Jila, then looked at Su Xiao: "It's amazing."

Although there was no direct response to Su Xiao's question, this silence itself was the best answer.

"If I'm not mistaken, your tribe is over there."

Su Xiao pointed to the northwest. According to his inference, Hong'e's insect nest should be there.

If the Sun Tribe, the Mag Hive, and the Red Evil Hive are arranged in a straight line, then the Mag Hive will be in the middle, blocking the Sun Tribe and the Red Evil Hive.

The Mag Hive and the Red Evil Hive are mostly hostile to each other on weekdays - after all, high-level Zerg rarely coexist peacefully, and distance has never been an obstacle to Zerg actions.

But once the Sun Tribe launches a general attack on the Mag Hive, Red Evil will definitely come to the rescue.

These Zerg queens, who have lived for countless years, have long understood the principle of "the lips and the teeth are interdependent".

"Let's join forces." Just when the negotiations between Su Xiao and Hong'e were about to come to an end, Lin Yi suddenly made this important proposal.

"Oh? Why? Human?" Hong'e now understood a little bit about the situation on Jila's side. Although Jila was the insect king of this insect nest, it was obvious that Su Xiao and Lin Yi were the actual decision-makers here.

“Take this as our sincerity.”

As he spoke, a well-preserved insect queen corpse appeared out of thin air and fell heavily in front of Hong'e, splashing up a cloud of dust.

"Kral"

When his eyes fell on the corpse, a hint of human-like trance flashed in Hong'e's eyes.

Kral and Jila both have the blood of Red Evil. Compared to the cowardly Jila, Kral has a terrifying ambition engraved in his bones.

Unfortunately, Kral failed to inherit Red Er's talent and was eventually exiled from the hive.

But Hong'e never expected that Klar would dare to do such a rebellious thing before leaving - the son who was never a good thing in her eyes secretly stole twenty precious life stones. After discovering this, Hong'e was also very shocked and immediately sent out the Royal Guards to hunt him down.

But the strange thing is that Klar seemed to be favored by fate. He always managed to escape at the critical moment and finally broke through the siege and fled to the border of Baixi's territory.

As a fourth-level insect king, Hong'e naturally could not just barge into Baixi's territory at will. That situation would be almost the same as declaring war.

After learning about this, Bai Xi and Mag both secretly provided shelter for Klar.

It was a pleasant surprise for them to be able to humiliate the oldest insect king.

Although the three major insect nests were forced to form an alliance due to the threat of the Totem Tribe, as the oldest ruler on the continent, the contradictions between Red Er and the latecomers have long been deeply rooted.

Bai Xi and Mag were both suppressed by Hong'e's forces for a long time before they were promoted to the fourth level. This resentment made them choose to join forces at the same time.

Over the past hundreds of years, the blockade built by the two insect nests has been slowly tightening like a noose, forcing Hong'e's territory to continue to shrink.

But in the face of the common threat of the Totem Tribe, even if Hong'e suffered a lot of losses, he could only swallow his anger.

"I see your sincerity, but that alone is not enough."

Hong'e was silent for more than ten seconds and then raised her head again. As the oldest insect king who had survived for countless centuries, she had already experienced the deaths of too many offspring.

Although Klar's corpse caused a slight ripple in her heart, it was quickly smoothed out by the character honed by thousands of years.

"what do you need?"

"I am willing to pay 10 high-level life stones to buy this Zerg's 'remaining individual' from you, how about it?" Hong'e pointed at the Abyss Demon Beast wandering nearby. It was obvious that the other party's goal this time was to target the Abyss Demon Beast.

As for the Star Guardian, Hong'e recognized its origin the moment he stepped into the insect nest.

However, for a pragmatic Zerg Queen like her who has been promoted step by step, this auxiliary unit is far less valuable than a rare combat unit like the Abyss Demon Beast - there are already several engineer Zergs with similar functions in her Zerg nest.

When they heard the conditions offered by Hong'e, a gleam of shrewdness flashed in Su Xiao and Lin Yi's eyes at the same time - this was simply a sucker who had been delivered to their doorstep.

The two looked at each other in tacit understanding and reached a consensus in an instant: Change! Of course we have to change!
They knew very well that even if Hong'e got this "remaining individual", he would not be able to cultivate a real abyss demon beast.

In order to cultivate an abyss demon beast, first of all, a complete genetic sample is needed, and secondly, it must be infused with high-purity demonic power. The most important thing is that it must survive the erosion of the power of the abyss.

Even if they forcefully breed it, the resulting Abyss Demon Beast will only be a degraded imitation - its combat power will at best reach the level of Tier 3. Want to compete with a true Tier 4 Zerg? Dream on!

However, they naturally could not reveal this at the moment. After hearing Hong'e's deal, the two of them quickly calmed down and a gloomy look appeared on their faces. This expression made Hong'e very clear that he had touched the other party's bottom line.

"You want to take away the 'remaining individual' of Abyssal Devilmon with only ten high-level life stones. I can only say that there is no need to continue this transaction."

"Oh? Whatever you need, as long as it's not too much, I can agree to it."

Hong'e looked back at Lin Yi. For Hong'e, as long as the transaction could be completed, this was not a problem.

"100 of the purest life stones."

"..."

Hong'e's tentacles suddenly froze, and she looked at this human in disbelief, completely unable to understand where this ridiculous asking price came from.

"I can only give you... 15."

"80."

Su Xiao made another offer.

"15... is all I am willing to give."

Hong'e is very sincere.

"90."

Su Xiao made his third offer.

"?"

Hong'e was stunned for a moment. This ancient insect king who had lived for thousands of years experienced for the first time what "confusing human behavior" was - the price was clearly falling just now, so why did it suddenly go up again?
"This time it's not just the price of the 'remaining individual'. If you're willing to pay the life stone, then I promise that Mag will never have time to harass your territory next time." Lin Yi smiled, then nudged Baha next to him with his elbow, and Baha immediately understood and flapped his wings and moved forward.

At this moment, Lin Yi couldn't help but miss the profiteer Caesar whom he met in the second-level war world - if that guy was present, if he didn't trick Hong'e into pawning even his bone armor, it would be considered that Caesar was in a bad state today.

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Hong'e fell silent.

Hong'e's bone wings trembled slightly and he fell into deep thought.

She understood the deep meaning of Lin Yi's words. This was no longer a simple transaction, but a real strategic alliance contract.

As long as you pay enough life stones, you can get the opponent to restrain Mag.

"Please come here." Just when Hong'e fell into silence, Baha landed on Hong'e's shoulder and motioned Hong'e to listen to him.

Half an hour later, Hong'e's thoughts were still a little confused, but in the end, she nodded and agreed to Su Xiao and Lin Yi's proposal.

In Baha's exaggerated description, the entire continent seemed to be within their reach, waiting for them to take the first step - and all this required was just a small "start-up capital".

After some consideration, Hong'e finally agreed to pay 40 high-level life stones as a condition of the transaction.

But as a requirement, Su Xiao and Lin Yi must contain Mag within a month and prevent her from continuing to invade her sphere of influence in order to prove their ability.

"Remember your promise, human. Otherwise, you will know... the price of offending an insect king."

Leaving these words behind, Hong'e's body gradually transformed into red butterflies. Later, she would send the Zerg to take the "remaining individuals" and also bring 40 high-purity life stones.

After Hong'e disappeared, Lin Yi and Su Xiao asked Jila to start increasing the number of troops.

The 40 biological energy that is about to be earned is enough to continue producing tens of thousands of abyss demon beasts.

"It seems like Hong'e isn't having an easy time either." Su Xiao lit a cigarette, and in the rising smoke, the blood boiling in his body was gradually suppressed.

During this period of time, he hunted almost non-stop, and the blood in his body was so strong that it almost turned into substance.

It was a rare chance to catch his breath at this moment, and he needed this moment of calm to adjust his state.

Lin Yi didn't find it too strange. The other two insect nests didn't help, and the Totem Tribe was watching covetously. It would be strange for Hong'e to have a good life.

Hong'e came here now, ostensibly to buy the remaining individuals of the Abyss Demon Beast, but in fact he was looking for reinforcements for himself and to share the pressure from all sides.

Otherwise, with the shrewdness of the fourth-level insect king, how could he take out such precious high-level life stones just by Baha's deception? You know, these life stones are also a very valuable fund for the fourth-level insect king.

The Sun Tribe has been going crazy lately, launching indiscriminate attacks on all surrounding Zerg forces.

Even though there was a buffer zone, Mag, between Hong'e's territory and the Sun Tribe, her sphere of influence was inevitably affected.

Faced with internal and external troubles, Hong'e had to turn his attention to Jila.

Although this emerging insect nest force is not large in scale, those abyss demon beasts may become the key to breaking the deadlock.

After learning from Hong'e that Magg was about to raid the surrounding insect nests, Su Xiao decided to speed up his pace and clear out all the surrounding insect nests before Magg took action.

This time, the few of them did not split up, but instead headed towards the inner side of the forest together.

In the heart of the forest, a turbulent river with a width of more than 100 meters divides the entire forest into two, stretching across the forest like a natural moat.

Jila's influence only covers the outer circle, and the forest inside is not within Jila's influence.

Am stood in front of the rushing river, with wisps of cold air drifting around him.

clack clack...

The river froze quickly, and after a few seconds, the hundred-meter-wide river surface had turned into a huge ice mirror.

The blocked river water upstream accumulated wildly, the water level rose rapidly, and the turbid torrent constantly washed the edge of the ice, but it was never able to break through this ice barrier.

The dark army of Zerg surged onto the ice like a tide. Small pieces of ice splashed under the feet of thousands of insects, and the entire ice layer was shaking slightly.

When the last group of Zerg stepped onto the other side, the flood accumulated upstream finally broke through the ice. The broken ice blocks collided with each other in the rapids, making a thunderous sound.

As soon as he crossed the river, Lin Yi saw several Zergs running away. Apparently, there were quite a few Zerg nests here.

Following a few fleeing Zergs, the Zerg army quickly moved through the forest. After half an hour, the front suddenly became clear.

The trees in this area have been cleared away, and a bug nest less than ten meters high is located in the center of the open space. This is a first-stage bug nest.

There are several "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" around the first-level insect nest. Only one abyss demon beast is needed to single-handedly defeat this insect nest.

Without any nonsense, the army pushed forward directly. The purpose this time was to destroy all the insect nests inside the forest and accumulate biological energy to continue to explode. (End of this chapter)
