Lan Ling controlled the Boa Worm to move stealthily, quietly passing through several bug colonies.
"We can see the territory of the first-rank heavenly god-level bug colonies now. We should be close to the exit." Virtuoso looked at Lan Ling after speaking. "Still haven't found the exit tunnel?"
"No …" Lan Ling shook her head helplessly.
A major difference between the Demonic Bug Maze and the Bug Tribe's hives was that the bug colonies in the hives might have a wide range of combat strength. Some hives led by heavenly god-level Queen Mothers or Bug Queens would have Heavenly Gods, True Gods, and even virtual god-level Bug Tribe fighters. However, the Demonic Bug Maze was different. There would only be heavenly god-level bug beasts in a Labyrinth led by a Heavenly God. If bug beasts below heavenly god-level barged in, they would only be eaten as food.
Therefore, in this Demonic Bug Maze that Lin Huang and the rest were in, the first-rank heavenly god-level bug colonies were already the lowest combat strength. The place where they gathered was also the shallowest layer of the entire Maze, the area closest to the Maze's exit.
Under normal circumstances, there would be more than one exit to the Demonic Bug Maze, but there would not be too many of them.
Judging by the scale of the Demonic Bug Maze that Lin Huang and the rest were in, there should be four to six exits.
However, this meant that there would only be four to six exits. It would be extraordinarily difficult to find these few exits among the tens of thousands of complicated exits.
"My detection ability can only detect up to thirty kilometers in this Maze at most. The border of this Maze in the direction of this exit is at least several thousand kilometers, or even tens of thousands of kilometers … If I'm unlucky, I might need to detect up to a hundred times before I can find the exit." Lan Ling did not have a better idea. She could only use the stupid method of detecting the exit's location again and again.
The rest felt helpless as well. After all, everyone's detection methods had been blocked. Lan Ling's relatively unorthodox curse ability was the only thing that could be used.
Lin Huang thought for a moment and suddenly spoke, "That's too inefficient."
"Do you have an idea?" Virtuoso asked immediately. The rest looked at Lin Huang as well.
"I don't know how feasible it is, but we can try." Lin Huang nodded and said to Lan Ling, "Don't go around the Bug Swarms later. Stop for a while."
"Alright!" Lan Ling heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that someone had taken the initiative to share the burden. She quickly nodded in agreement.
Not long after, Lan Ling controlled the Python Worm to slow down.
"There's a swarm of insects about three kilometers ahead."
Lin Huang nodded and extended half of his body out of the Boa Worm's back. With a slight movement of his ten fingers, thousands of colorless and invisible Leech Pods drifted out.
As the master of the Monster Paradise, he could easily borrow Bloody's Leech Pods.
The Leech Pods' ability allowed them to cast parasites on all creatures of the same or weaker combat strength as Bloody. Bloody had been in closed-door cultivation with Kelly earlier. Not only had she elevated to rank-5, but she had also broken through to first-rank heavenly god-level.
The ability of the Leech Pods came in handy here.
After releasing the Leech Pods, Lin Huang immediately returned to the Boa Worm's body.
Although everyone saw Lin Huang's actions through Lan Ling's projection, they could not see the Leech Pods.
"What did you do?" Tu Tong was the first one who could not help but ask as soon as Lin Huang returned.
They did not even use their sensing techniques, so naturally, they could not sense the Leech Pods.
"Just a little trick," Lin Huang smiled and did not explain further. "We'll find out when we go to the Bug Swarms' gathering place."
"Are you sure you want us to barge in directly?" Virtuoso spoke first before Lan Ling could ask any questions.
"Don't you guys want to know what I did?" Lin Huang smiled at Virtuoso.
Lan Ling, on the other hand, was rather hesitant. She did not know if she should listen to Lin Huang.
Virtuoso fell silent for a moment, then nodded at Lan Ling. "Let's go take a look."
With Virtuoso's confirmation, only then did Lan Ling let go of her worries. She controlled the Boa Worm and headed toward the Bug Swarms' gathering place.
A moment later, the Boa Worm led the group to where the Bug Swarms were.
This was a swarm of Bladefoot Worms, numbering around two thousand. The Bladefoot Worms that had been contaminated by Abyssal energy were purplish-black in color and emanated a black aura. Many of them had even mutated, growing even more oddly shaped bladefoot … They looked even more terrifying than normal Bladefoot Worms.
However, what Virtuoso and the rest found strange was that the Bladefoot Worms before them had formed a neat square formation.
Furthermore, they did not move at all when they saw the Boa Worm. They were still standing where they were in an orderly fashion, as if they were waiting to be reviewed.
"This is …" Lan Ling found it rather unbelievable.
"I've never heard of an Imperial Censor being able to control Bug Swarms, not to mention remotely." Virtuoso glanced at Lin Huang, clearly rather surprised as well.
"I just used some tricks," Lin Huang said with a smile.
"If you had such a trick, why didn't you use it earlier?" Tu Tong asked from the side. He was not doubting Lin Huang; he was just amazed.
"At the moment, I can only control first-rank at most. I can't go any higher than that," Lin Huang said helplessly. Lin Huang said helplessly. Of course, he did not say that the reason was that the Bloody combat strength that he was borrowing from was only first-rank.
"Being able to control a group of first-rank heavenly god-level monsters as a true god-level — this trick is already very overpowered." Saber9, who had always been a man of few words, also gave a pertinent assessment.
"What do you plan to do? Use these Bladefoot Worms to scout the way? "Virtuoso asked.
"No, I'll order a few of them to leave the Demonic Bug Maze through the nearest exit." Lin Huang gave a surprising answer. "We'll just follow them secretly."
The few of them immediately understood Lin Huang's intention.
The Bug Tribe that had been contaminated by Abyssal energy could not be read, but they definitely knew where the exit to the Demonic Bug Maze was.
Although Lin Huang's order was simple, it could turn these Bladefoot Worms into tour guides very efficiently.
"That's a great idea!" Virtuoso and the rest's eyes lit up when they heard that.
Right at that moment, six Bladefoot Worms appeared in the Bug Swarm. They formed a small team and left quickly in one direction.
Meanwhile, the other Bladefoot Worms that had formed a line quickly returned to their unorganized state.
"Follow them!" Lin Huang said to Lan Ling immediately.
Lan Ling hurriedly controlled the Boa Worm and secretly followed behind the small team of Bladefoot Worms.
"You even specially formed a search team. What a brilliant move!" Virtuoso gave Lin Huang a thumbs-up. "Even if other search teams come across us, we won't be suspected."
"Details determine success or failure," Lin Huang said expressionlessly.
"I have a question. Can you control more Bug Tribe with this ability of yours?" Lan Ling could not help asking.
"Yes."
"Then how many can I control at most?" Lan Ling asked again.
Lin Huang turned his head to glance at Lan Ling and smiled at her. "That's a secret."
Lan Ling was not the only one who was speechless. The rest of them were speechless as well.
