The last ray of light in the sky finally disappeared in the darkness. Chu Yunsheng's vision was restored to a bright red color.
"Dumb Insect, is it done?" Chu Yunsheng had been waiting for the whole day. Maybe it was because he had been lonely for a long time, this kind of life was getting more and more annoying.
"…"
A strange noise suddenly came out from the tomb.
"Are you okay, Dumb Insect?" Chu Yunsheng consciously approached the tomb and sent a message.
Compared to other humans, his understanding of the insects in the creep area was like a "PhD". But compared to the insects, he had not even graduated from kindergarten.
So far, he still didn't understand the relationship between the emergence of Mins and the emergence of tombs.
According to the experience in the yellow mountain area, there should be a Min first, and then under the control of the Min, it would continue to hatch the secondary tombs that belonged to the Min, and then it would create more tombs.
But Yan Min gave him another method. First, there would be a Min, then it would fuse with a primary tombs worm, and then it would become a real Min with a tomb.
So should there be a Min first or a tomb first? Which process was more difficult and dangerous? Chu Yunsheng felt a bit dizzy.
"…"
The strange noise still came out from the tomb.
Chu Yunsheng's heart skipped a beat. He was about to go into the tunnel to see what was going on. If Dumb Insect's consciousness was erased because of the fusion, he would regret it very much.
"… It's okay …" When Chu Yunsheng was halfway into the tunnel, he heard Dumb Insect's grumbling sound. He was immediately relieved.
"Is it okay? Do you still remember who you are? "Chu Yunsheng asked uncertainly.
"Yes, I remember …" Dumb Insect's voice was still murmuring. "But, it seems …" it hesitated for a second.
"Like what?" Chu Yunsheng's heart was in his throat again.
"I … I seem to have become, smarter?" Dumb Insect was not sure what to say.
"…" Chu Yunsheng was speechless. Whenever it said that it was smart, it never seemed to be that smart. But it seemed to have become a lot more coherent.
"Yes, it's true. My head seems to have suddenly, suddenly become bigger, a lot bigger," Dumb Insect said seriously.
"You got it. How is it? Did you find the Book of the Insect?" While Chu Yunsheng was climbing up the tunnel, Yan Min kept talking about the Book of the Insect. Obviously, the behavior between the two Mins was restricted by this book.
However, the Dark that he had sealed didn't find such a thing. Today, he had been waiting for a long time. After thinking about it for a long time, there were probably only two reasons. One was that the sealed Dark might not be an insect, so it couldn't get their things. The other was that Dark might not have evolved to the level where it could get the Book of the Insect.
He didn't know which one it was, because Yan Min didn't have the time to learn the Book of the Insect.
Therefore, he could only get the answer from Dumb Insect. If he could understand The Book of the Insect, he would definitely have a better understanding of the insect world.
But Dumb Insect's next sentence immediately interrupted his thoughts, "What? What Book of the Insect?"
Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second, then he shook his head. Dumb Insect didn't know what Yan Min was talking to him at all, so he said, "if you don't know, then forget it. Why can't I see you? "
"Here, here."
Chu Yunsheng looked up and saw Dumb Insect was hanging in the air by a pipe. It looked like a naughty child playing on a swing.
"Come down, hurry up and use the remaining energy to make more worms, we can't waste even one second!" Chu Yunsheng still felt a little uneasy.
In the afternoon, he began to regret placing the first base near Fragrant Hill City.
The tragic death of Old Purple and the others made him a little absent-minded. Instinctively, he was wary of Yan Min and hated the archers in Hong Kong. So he chose a place that was far away from Yan Min's territory and was across the sea from Hong Kong.
When he came to his senses, with the acute sense of danger that he had developed over a long period of time, he immediately realized that the position he had chosen was really terrible.
If they didn't rely on Yan Min, it meant that they wouldn't have enough time to seek its help when they encountered a major crisis. If they relied on Hong Kong, it would be even worse. Their awakened ones could risk crossing the sea to look for food and daily necessities at any time. It was very easy for them to be exposed.
But the tomb incubator insects had already hatched, and the roots of the tombs had already penetrated deep into the ground. It was impossible for Yan Min to stop breeding insects and hatch a new one for him.
Therefore, he could only find a way to strengthen the power of Dumb Insect and him in the shortest time possible to prevent any possible crisis from happening.
He was only a red-shelled insect now, and he hadn't even evolved to the second form. It was impossible for him to fight against the awakened ones in Hong Kong. Moreover, a lone tomb would not be able to provide them with any combat power.
"It seems like, according to the insect nest's habit, it should hatch some fighting insects first?" Dumb Insect didn't really understand what Chu Yunsheng was talking about.
"It's useless, one or two insects like you and me can't provide us with any combat power! Dumb Insect, we are in a very dangerous situation now, so we need to change our strategy. Forget it, you don't understand. What I mean is, we need to change our strategy. First, we need to produce a large number of worms to obtain as much energy as possible. Then, we need to hatch secondary tomb incubator insects to create new tombs. Yes, you are the nest that you mentioned. As long as we have enough insect nests, no one will know how strong we are. "Chu Yunsheng explained patiently.
He could have asked Dumb Insect to do this in a more forceful tone, but he felt that he didn't have the right to do that. Dumb Insect didn't owe him anything. On the contrary, he owed Dumb Insect a lot.
"I, I, I will listen to you." Although Dumb Insect thought that it was much smarter than before, it still felt inferior when Chu Yunsheng told it a lot of information. It always felt that Chu Yunsheng was much smarter than it.
Soon, under its control, many slime bags bulged up and stood at the bottom of the tombs like giant eggs.
The small amount of energy that was left after the tomb hatched was completely exhausted.
The next night was the most stressful time for Chu Yunsheng. He personally went to the high hill outside to keep watch. At this time, he, Dumb Insect, and the tombs could not withstand any attacks. Once there was any danger, they could only run away.
This night seemed to be extremely long. He kept looking at the direction of the coastline. He was afraid that a group of awakeners would appear in his vision.
According to his experience in the yellow mountain area, a worm's incubation time was about 12 hours, which was half a day. It was only one-sixth of the red-shelled insect's time.
So as long as they could survive this night, the worms would be able to transport the energy from the underground to the surface.
…
Seeing a glimmer of light appearing in the dark sky, Chu Yunsheng, who had been on high alert for the whole night, finally let out a sigh of relief. Just a little bit more time, the worms would be able to hatch.
However, the strange thing was that there was no movement from the coastline. Instead, from the direction of Fragrant Hill city, a shrill human scream suddenly came out. It was very clear in the quiet dark world.
Chu Yunsheng's heart skipped a beat. He quickly ran across the hill and rushed to the opposite side of the hill. Looking around, he saw a group of blurred figures holding torches moving towards the tombs.
Behind them, there were a few huge figures that seemed to be chasing those humans.
Because the distance was too far, even with Chu Yunsheng's insect's eyesight, he still couldn't tell what kind of monsters they were. He quickly retreated to the side of the tombs and contacted Dumb Insect, "Dumb Insect, there is a situation in front of us, how is the worm?"
"Almost … almost … almost … almost …" Dumb Insect replied honestly.
Suddenly, a human's scream seemed to be right next to Chu Yunsheng's ears.
