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

"Which side do you want to win?"

Ye Yiyi looked at the two fighting parties and repeated his question.

"Is it the big bug man, or those two people?"

"Of course... it's Uncle Xiao Boer and the others."

The little bug man swallowed and answered without hesitation.

"Oh why?"

"What...why?"

The little bug man was puzzled.

"You're also a bug-man, but you don't want the bug-man to win?"

Ye Yiyi lowered his head and looked into the insect man's big black eyes. "Are you on better terms with those two people?"

"When I opened my eyes...that's what I saw."

The tentacles on the little insect man's head drooped down, and he seemed a little depressed.

"I have no parents. I was born from a cocoon. Uncle Shaw said Fairport was my father, but I rarely saw him."

"One time he came to see me, and I called him father. His face changed immediately, as if I disgusted him."

"He said I was a failed experiment, neither human nor insect, a defective product, not worthy of calling him father..."

"So you don't have a good relationship with him, right?"

For some reason, this human suddenly let out a long breath.

"I do not know."

The little bug man shook his head, confused.

"I don't know what I am. Uncle Shaw said I was a test subject, but what does a test subject mean? I don't understand."

"Is this so..."

Ye Yiyi nodded thoughtfully.

Living in this underground place without seeing the sun, and living with the dead since childhood.

Although they do not discriminate against little insect people, don't expect them to give any care as elders to an insect person who is still a child.

Perhaps to the dead, the little bug-man was just a tool that wouldn't be attacked by bugs...

Ye Yiyi was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up.

"You stay here and wait until the battle is over."

"Um……"

The little insect man nodded timidly, and only after Ye Yiyi left did he hug the hunting insect that was waiting on the side and dared not approach in his arms.

On the battlefield, the two dead noticed Ye Yiyi walking from the outside.

Xiao Bo'er turned his head to glance at the little insect man who was not seriously injured, then retracted his gaze, swung the sledgehammer and smashed it hard on the ground.

"boom!"

The earth trembled, and countless sharp rock spikes suddenly surged out from the ground in front of the hammer like huge waves, stabbing straight at the black moth insect man.

The insect man waved his black wings and wrapped himself in gray smoke. His figure disappeared out of thin air, then he moved away from the battlefield and reappeared in front of the gate.

Its arms hung down, and its dark eyes stared at Ye Yiyi, who was walking slowly towards them and standing side by side with the two dead men, with a wary heart.

He could not sense the threat posed by the magician and could not tell whether he was strong or weak.

That is why we need to be more vigilant.

Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, he launched a surprise attack on the magician, but unfortunately the attack was blocked by the dead man and he did not gain any advantage.

Now that he is back on the battlefield, with the dead around him, he is probably in big trouble.

But come to think of it, how can a strong man who can kill the Sky Insect Fairport and a group of flying insects be weak?

Thinking of this, the insect man folded his four arms, covered his body with his cloak-like wings, and quietly swallowed something into his mouth.

Then layers of white silk emerged from the body surface, wrapped around the body, and turned into a big cocoon in an instant.

"What is this for?"

Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

"Why did I form a cocoon as soon as I arrived?"

The health bar isn't even halfway through yet, and you're already preparing to enter the second stage?

"I don't know, but he's now transformed. I think he must have realized he was no match for his opponent and is looking for a way to defeat him."

The white-haired man stroked the blade gently, his voice low.

"After multiple transformations, the cocoon will become extremely strong. With only our means, without the help of magic, I'm afraid we won't be able to dismantle the cocoon."

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Ye Yiyi shook his head with no expression on his face.

"This thing doesn't look as strong as the Skyworm. Even if it emerges, it'll be useless."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the Moonlight Spear and pointed it forward. Deep magic power condensed and turned into a black ball of light the size of a human head.

"Buzz!"

The ball of light shattered, and the surging magic power turned into a torrent and shot out.

The big cocoon suddenly burst, and Ye Yiyi's blood bar slowly decreased, and it took seven or eight seconds to finally drop to zero.

Soul Echo +11500.

Current soul echoes: 683167.

"You're right."

Ye Yiyi put down the Moonlight Gun and nodded repeatedly.

"That callus is really tough. Even a slight touch from my Qian Yu Zuo couldn't withstand it, but this thing can hold up for seven or eight seconds."

"..."

The two dead men looked at each other expressionlessly and finally dropped their weapons.

"Good work."

Xiao Boer said casually, then turned and walked towards the little insect man.

The white-haired man also nodded at Ye Yiyi and walked towards the big cocoon in front of the door that had turned into a pool of pus and blood.

"..."

When Ye Yiyi saw the two people's reactions, the corners of his mouth twitched. Finally, he raised his hand to support his forehead and sighed deeply.

The deceased has no emotions and won't be surprised at all. It's really boring to pretend to be cool in front of them and have no reaction at all.

The white-haired man searched in the cocoon, found the key, and opened the door in front of him.

Behind him, Xiao Bo'er also came back holding the little insect man's hand.

"Let's go."

Xiao Boer said, "After passing this door, there will be several Kinsects blocking the way. Michaela will then have to take action to eliminate the obstacles."

"Flying insect..."

Ye Yiyi put the four black swords into the four-dimensional chrysanthemum, showing confusion.

"You mean that big bug?"

"Soaring Insect, or simply Flying Insect."

Xiao Boer nodded, "This is the name used by the insect people."

"That's interesting. How is it divided? Is the Skyworm included in it?"

"According to the number of times it has metamorphosed."

The white-haired man replied, "Once it metamorphoses, it becomes a reptile. Twice, it becomes a flying insect. Three times, it becomes a Kinsect. As for the Skyworm, I don't know, but it seems to be the third metamorphosis."

"Two times means flying insects?"

Ye Yiyi frowned. There were less than two thousand flying insects on the surface, but there were ten thousand of each three-emerging Kinsect. This gap was too big.

And the Sky Worm is actually undergoing metamorphosis for the third time?

Why does he feel they are all the same?

Forget it.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, they are all weaklings that can be killed in one move, so there is no point in thinking too much.

At least when I am not around, the three-emerged Kinsect is enough for guarding.

At least he could fight on equal terms with the two dead men beside him.

After entering the gate and walking down the wide stairs, you will soon arrive at an enclosed facility made of steel.

This facility is the research institute where insect people study insects. Insect samples of various sizes can be seen everywhere, and some rooms have been converted into observation rooms for storing live insects.

In fact, there are the emperor scorpions, nematode spiders, rock centipedes, etc. that Ye Yiyi has seen, but most of them are small individuals without intelligence, and in terms of spirituality, they are not even as smart as the original dung beetles.

But along the way, Ye Yiyi didn't see any flying insects or reptiles, let alone kinsects.

"Maybe Xiajiao's death alerted the insect people inside the facility."

Xiao Bo'er said thoughtfully, "The insect people can communicate through pheromones. This is their innate talent. Perhaps they had already notified the other insect people inside when the gorge horn emerged."

"I don't think so."

Ye Yiyi shook her head, "I didn't detect any pheromones."

Then he looked at the little bug man, "What about you, Ouni? Do you feel anything?"

"I?"

Ouni pointed at herself, shook her head and said dejectedly: "I don't have the ability to secrete and read pheromones."

"No?"

Ye Yiyi was stunned.

"Fairport once said Ernie was defective."

Xiao Boer touched the little bug man's head and said, "He's right. Ouni doesn't look like a bug man."

That doesn't sound like comfort.

Ye Yiyi looked embarrassed.

Fortunately, Ou Ni was already used to this. For him, Xiao Bo'er's pat on the head seemed to be a rare way for the deceased to express his feelings. Therefore, he did not feel sad, but rather a little happy.

We continued to move forward, exploring the things left behind by the insect people, and found a lot of interesting materials and props.

For example, there is a kind of thing that can crawl and looks like a caterpillar, but is actually the material of some strange plant.

【Linden butterfly larvae】

Item Description: Plant seeds that caterpillars crawl on and feed on.

Can be found among the blooms of the Wood Butterfly Flower.

One of the materials used to craft props.

The forest butterfly flower is a unique plant that retains the life characteristics of its ancient ancestors.

It can grow into a flower after turning into a cocoon.

It is said that this is one of the life forms that was born under the influence of the flying insect.

Therefore, it is also regarded as an object of worship by the insect-people who are trying to emerge.

In the insect man's laboratory, Ye Yiyi saw this forest butterfly grow into the queen of flowers.

Like a beautiful butterfly perched on the top of a slender green grass.
