After killing the Bug Tribe Queen Mother, Lin Huang was almost drowned by the bug horde. He managed to escape the underground hive with Nine-tailed Cat's dimensional teleportation ability.
As soon as he left the hive, he logged out of the Evil Alliance account.
Sitting on the couch in the hotel's living room, Lin Huang began to summarize the battle.
"I've underestimated the Queen Mother's ability. I didn't expect it to break Grimace's illusion and get rid of Bloody's parasitism. It caught me off guard. If I didn't summon my God Figurine's Combat Soul in time, I might not have been able to kill it today.
"This Queen Mother's combat ability is out of my expectation too. I can't believe it survived Lancelot and Killer's joint attack.
"I mustn't be careless no matter what kind of enemy I encounter."
After summarizing, Lin Huang looked at what he had obtained this time.
He did not get a complete Queen Mother's card after the Lucky Card's bonus. However, he had a much higher chance of getting a complete bug guardian card.
Out of the 12 bug guardians that died, seven of them had a complete card. With the Double Reward Card's effect, Lin Huang obtained 14 pseudo-mythical-level bug guardians.
One must know that they were pseudo-mythical-level monsters. Their individual ability was no weaker than Lancelot and Killer of the same level.
Now that they had turned into Monster Cards, their combat strength was directly affected by Lin Huang. They were now in the Red Gold Palace, which was much more powerful than when they were on checkpoint 63 of the Stairway Tree.
Lin Huang tapped on the bug guardians' cards one by one to check their details.
"Monster Card: Unnamed
"Rarity: Pseudo-mythical-level
"Monster Name: Queen Mother's Servant (Sword Soldier)
"Type of Monster: Sword Insect/Bug Tribe
"Combat Level: Red Gold Palace
[Major: Saber]
"Major Skill: Bug Sword, Sword Dao Gene Extraction …
"Minor Skill: Bug Steps …
"Summon Authority: Available
"Card Remarks: Passable.
…
"Monster Card: Unnamed

"Monster Name: Queen Mother's Servant (Gunner)
"Type of Monster: Cannon Bug/Bug Clan"
[Combat Level: Red Gold Palace]
[Major: Firearms]
"Major Skills: Biological Firearms, Ultimate Shot …"
"Support Skill: Insect Steps …"
[Summon Authority: Able to Summon]
"Card Remarks: Not bad."
…
"Although I didn't obtain the Queen Mother's complete card, it's great that I've obtained 14 pseudo-mythical-level bug guardians." Lin Huang recalled all 14 Monster Cards after checking the card information. The reason why he did not summon it was because he recalled the scent he had smelled in the bug nest. If the bug guardians that were summoned had the same smell, he would probably be complained by all the guests in the other rooms on the hotel floor.
After putting the card away, Lin Huang continued to practice his saber.
The monsters on the Stairway Tree would only respawn once a day. He would have to wait for the second round of hunting tomorrow.
The sword technique that Lin Huang was practicing was called Buddha Killer. It was a pseudo-mythical-level sword technique that he had obtained from the Fallen God Land.
He had been practicing it off and on for a couple of days. He had practiced it for more than 20 hours in total.
Although he had the Sword Soul in his body to guide him, learning pseudo-mythical-level sword techniques was much slower than learning legendary-level sword techniques.
Not only did he obtain fewer sword skill card pieces each time he practiced, but the total number of skill card pieces required for pseudo-mythical-level sword techniques was also much higher.
Normally, legendary-level skills required more than 10,000 skill card pieces. The better ones might even exceed 30,000 skill card pieces. Meanwhile, pseudo-mythical-level skills basically required more than 300,000 skill card pieces.
That was the reason why he had only learned two new pseudo-mythical-level sword techniques after learning up to 1,000 legendary-level sword techniques. This was the third one.
However, he had accumulated more than 200,000 skill card pieces for Buddha Killer. Lin Huang was confident that he could complete the cultivation of the third pseudo-mythical-level sword technique by the end of the day and turn it into a complete Skill Card.
Lin Huang practiced his sword technique from past nine in the morning until past four in the afternoon. He was so focused on practicing that he completely forgot to check how many card pieces he had accumulated.
A notification came from Xiao Hei all of a sudden when it was almost 4.20 in the afternoon.
"Congratulations, you've obtained pseudo-mythical-level sword technique Buddha Killer x300,000 skill card pieces. Would you like to integrate them into a complete Skill Card?"
"Yes!" Lin Huang made his choice without hesitation.
Xiao Hei's second notification soon came after a moment of silence.
"Congratulations, you've obtained a complete Buddha Killer sword technique Card (pseudo-mythical-level) x1."
Lin Huang looked at the time after completing the cultivation of the third pseudo-mythical-level sword technique. Seeing that it was not dinner time yet, he began looking through the fourth pseudo-mythical-level sword technique in his memory.
…
The next morning, Lin Huang logged into the Evil Alliance as soon as he had his breakfast.
As soon as he returned to the Stairway Tree, Bloody began looking for the new Queen Mothers and bug guardians.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang began looking for the Evil Alliance's internal news.
The headline soon caught his attention.
The article was titled 'Why did the monster horde break out during the day on the Stairway Tree?'
Lin Huang clicked on it. The article mentioned that the bug beasts on checkpoint 63 came out of their nests all of a sudden during the day and attacked the human foothold on checkpoint 63 yesterday morning.
Many of the members were killed by the bug horde that came out of nowhere and fell back to checkpoint 1 of the Stairway Tree. Some of them were left with half of the points that they had accumulated over the years after they died.
"The bug horde broke out at nine in the morning yesterday. It was around the time I killed the Queen Mother and logged out. "Lin Huang roughly figured out the reason why the bug horde broke out during the day. It must have been because he killed the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother's death caused the Bug Tribe fighters to fall into chaos and madness. Without the Queen Mother's control, their destructive nature was exposed. Therefore, they attacked the human footholds, causing a series of tragedies.
However, the author of the article had no idea about that. He analyzed it from his point of view and listed the possibilities one after another. However, none of them hit the nail on the head as they were far from the truth.
The author probably did not expect the Queen Mother's death to be the cause of the incident. Even a top-notch powerhouse like Chan Dou did not have the ability to kill the Queen Mother. Everyone thought that there was no dispute, but it caused the author to have a blind spot in his thinking and avoided the correct answer.
In reality, Lin Huang did not expect the Bug Tribe fighters to leave the hive after he left and form a bug horde to attack the human foothold.
"It seems like it's really my fault." Lin Huang laughed at himself. He did not want to be the scapegoat even though he was the one who had to take the blame. "Since nobody knows about it, let's keep it a secret."
