This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"By the way, why did these insect people set up camp here?"

Ye Yiyi rubbed his chin and took out the letter addressed to the Gnawing Magician.

“Although the letter was not delivered to the other party, judging by the current situation, the leader of the Worshiping Insect Cult still visited the Magician Tower as promised.

"But the letter didn't arrive, and the Worshiping Insect Cult showed up uninvited. Could this be the reason for the conflict between the two sides?"

Afterwards, the magician was defeated, so this place became the territory of the Insect Worship Cult.

After all, no magician would like others to set up camp around his tower.

Although the possibility of cooperation between the two parties cannot be ruled out, no matter which the truth is, it is not a good thing for Ye Yiyi.

The Insect Worship Cult is a sect that masters the method of creating cursed pedestals and is related to the stagnation curse.

Nothing good will come of it if you have anything to do with them.

Ye Yiyi felt that she should be more cautious and not expose herself in public for the time being.

"Let's scout first. If the magician is captured, we'll find a way to rescue him. If they've reached a collaboration, then we'll rush in and take over the entire map!"

Thinking of this, he took out the short staff of concealment from behind and quietly activated [Obedient Humanoid].

The gray-white grass, trees, and rocks around him floated and gathered together, eventually transforming into an exquisite doll with silver hair and a black dress that fell from the sky.

"Since the dung beetle can't go in, I'll sneak in and take a look myself." Mercury Lamp patted the trembling dung beetle as if to comfort it.

Apply [Silence] to the mercury lamp and sprinkle some [Illusion Dust] on it to weaken its presence, and finally put three small wooden bracelets on her.

Mercury Lamp, fully prepared, jumped into the bushes in front of him and disappeared.

"This thing..."

Mercury Lamp looked down at the wooden bracelet on her arm that didn't match her jet-black dress at all, and couldn't help but roll her eyes, a look of silence on her delicate face.

"If I hadn't made this myself, I wouldn't believe it was a magic prop... It's so damn ugly!"

But there was no way, time was too tight, and he could only do this much in such a hurry.

"Forget it, as long as it works..."

These three wooden bracelets, which were supposed to be rings, can use invisible magic arrows 5 times, one can use mimicry 3 times, and one can use coloring 10 times.

The first two are used for assassination and hiding, and the latter is used to mark important objects and people, so that if the stealth fails, Ye Yiyi can also launch a thunder strike from the periphery in the first time.

He quickly pushed aside the grass along the way and arrived at the wooden wall. Mercury Lamp looked up and then jumped lightly, landing in the middle of two sharpened logs.

As soon as she came up, she saw a beetle-like insect man with large horns on his head and covered in fine steel armor not far away. He was leading a hunting insect the size of a hound, walking on four legs, with two pairs of sharp hooked limbs on his chest.

"Ok?"

The unicorn man seemed to have noticed something and turned his head subconsciously.

But the outer wall was empty, just like usual.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with my perception?"

The unicorn worm spoke in human language, sounding like a cautious middle-aged man. It then raised its four-fingered, pitch-black limb and scratched its horn.

At the sentry post not far away, the bored ant-man with nothing to do noticed this side.

It shook the two tentacles on its head and shouted at him as if to entertain him.

"What are you doing, Alien Horn? Are your big, black horns itching again? Why don't you come over here and I'll oil and wax you."

The unicorn man raised his head and turned his two small black eyes to look over, the black horn on his head shining in the blue light.

"Get out of here! Also, look over there, is there anyone on the wall?"

The ant man was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, then turned back and laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha, no way, Alien Horn, even your perception is problematic?

"The nearest human village is more than ten miles away. Who would come here for no reason?

"Besides, the albino area outside is full of poisonous insects. Which human can get in?"

The unicorn man ignored the ant man's ridicule and asked instead.

"Where's the millipede?"

"Millidus?"

The ant man subconsciously looked outside, but saw nothing.

"Who knows? It's not time for that thing to come back and smash the door yet."

"Is this so..."

The unicorn man scratched his horn again and muttered to himself uncertainly,

"Could it be that I really sensed it wrongly?"

"Don't be impatient, Alien Horn... yawn!"

The ant-bug man leaned against the sentry post, raised his head and yawned loudly.

"Once we've cleaned up that old man's brain and he's transformed, we can get away. It won't take long."

“But I still feel uneasy.”

The unicorn man said worriedly.

"There have been a lot of problems on the Amblett border recently, and there's suspicion of a war with Campbell. I'm worried the Campbells might take a detour and enter through this route."

"It's possible, but not very likely." The ant man shook his head.

"The war is just a pretext. The Campbells' target is the depression. They won't really fight with the Firefly."

"I hope so."

The unicorn insect man nodded slightly, waved his insect limbs and led the hunting insects under his feet into the camp.

"My shift changes in half an hour. Hold on a little longer and don't fall asleep, or Graybeard will not let you go!"

"I do want to, but this post is so damn boring..."

Seeing that the only person he could talk to had left, the ant man sighed helplessly and looked out at the unchanging wall in boredom.

When the sound disappeared, a piece of weed stuck in the crack on the top of the wall quietly fell to the ground, and then turned into a mercury lamp, revealing its shape.

“Tsk tsk! That was a close call!!”

There is [Silent] to eliminate sounds, and there is [Phantom Dust] to weaken the sense of presence. When the two are combined, they can be noticed by people.

Fortunately, it can't see through the mimicry, otherwise it would be really bad.

But how did the insect man with horns on his head discover him?

Mercury Lamp glanced at the sentry post in the distance, moved along the corner of the wall, and prepared to sneak into another place.

“But now we can be sure that this group of insect people and insect magicians are most likely not from the same group.

"Ling Mengqi and the other five, four, six, eight, are working together to dig out what's in his head? Is it the knowledge about studying insect albino mutations?"

"And from what they said, they didn't seem to know about the existence of the Curse Control Organization. Of course, it's not ruled out that they're not at the right level..."

Soon they arrived at a place far away from the sentry post, and the mercury lamp climbed up to the top of the wall again, looking around carefully.

After confirming that there was no one around, he jumped down from the top of the wall and looked around.

There are many houses made of dark blue gelatinous material standing in the camp.

These houses are exactly the same in appearance as the wooden longhouses that the Fire Sparrow people usually live in. Even though the materials are very different, you can tell at a glance that they are made by humans.

The flickering blue light that Ye Yiyi saw in the outside world came from the gallbladder of a blue firefly crawling back and forth on the surface of the house.

"Is this a firefly?"

The mercury lamp approached a house and carefully looked at the small things flashing on the wall.

"I feel a little itchy, I want to catch one and see what I should do?"

Ye Yiyi, who was controlling the mercury lamp, fell into a state of confusion.

He instinctively felt that this kind of insect should be the material, but he also felt that if he caught one, the other insects would be frightened and fly away, thus exposing their identity.

"Forget it. It wouldn't be fun if they all started flying. I'd better find a magician first."

At the same time, it felt a little regretful, thinking that if it had known that there were insects in here, it would have made a magic prop to use insects in advance and brought it in.

I left here disappointed and moved towards the tower through the gaps between the many blue houses.

Not only are there many houses here, but there are also many insect people inside.

Ye Yiyi quietly explored the area and discovered two different types of insect people in the camp based on the interior decoration of the houses.

One type is smaller in number, has different appearance features, and has independent rooms and various daily necessities, even clothes to cover oneself.

This type of insect-man is of the same type as the two that could speak human language. They are new life forms that have evolved from humans.

After all, your body has turned into a bug, so why do you still need to wear clothes?

Ye Yiyi once asked the old blacksmith about the fact that the Truth Fighters also wore clothes.

The final answer was also very simple.

"What civilized, intelligent, and shameless creature doesn't wear clothes? Not to mention the Curse-Bearer resurrected from the body of the Truth Annihilator, even a flying dragon would wear clothes!

"It's not just to cover up one's shame, it's also for the sake of beauty and individuality. It's a self-satisfaction need possessed by highly intelligent creatures!"

Finally, the old blacksmith concluded:

"On the border, the only things without clothes are wild beasts, insects, and monsters. Even subhuman, inhuman, and inorganic life forms know how to wear a burqa."

Although this summary is a bit rough, the old blacksmith is right.

Because there is another kind of insect people, which are extremely numerous. The rooms they live in are not rooms, but insect nests.

Countless naked humanoid insects were densely packed on the walls of a room, and even their appearance was carved from the same mold.

"This should be the type of soldier these insect people use to fight. It might be a creature that has transformed from some large insect."

The mercury lamp slipped quietly past the door without disturbing any insects.

Apart from these two types of insect-men, the remaining insects do not have human form.

Ye Yiyi also saw a giant blue worm that looked like a silkworm, the sickle-like hunting worm that had been following Yi Jiao before, and a giant beetle that was extremely large in appearance and had drill-like sharp horns.

In addition to these large bugs, there are also a large number of small and medium-sized bugs in the camp.

For example, there are lamp worms hanging upside down on the eaves, shaped like lanterns and emitting cold white light.

Dozens of crab-sized worms cluster together to transport wooden boxes.

It looks like a lizard, with strange bugs covered in shiny gems.

"Fuck! Porsche sperm!!"

Mercury Lamp's eyes lit up and he almost shot out an invisible magic arrow.

Fortunately, he held back.

Because those suspected gem crystal insects were actually a kind of mammalian insects, eating the flesh and blood of animals, and then excreting liquid objects to feed the giant blue silkworm.

"That's fucking disgusting!"

The mercury lamp looked sickening, so he dodged the insects and crawled into the magician's tower with the door wide open and no one in front of it.

"Bang bang bang!"

But as soon as he came in, he heard a series of hurried noises coming from the stairs beside him.

Mercury Lamp was so scared that he quickly hid in the corner and pretended to be a camouflage. Then he saw a green and red locust man hurried out of the door.

"That shape... V3?"

Mercury Lamp was stunned but did not forget to add color.

Before he could think about it, he heard a deep and old groan from above his head.

"This voice...old man?"

Mercury Lamp's eyes lit up, and after confirming that there was no one around, he rushed up the stairs and reached the second floor.

In the corner of the room, an old man with a white beard, chained to the wall, looked up at the bright moon obscured by clouds outside the window and uttered a low sigh again.

Seeing this, Mercury Lamp quietly came to the old man, lifted the [Silent] effect, and greeted him in a low voice.
