Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 384: Chapter 267: Sudden Arrival (2)

Han Ning looked away from his roommate.

’I even see a bit of myself in the two of them,’ he thought. ’Without my status panel, would I be as diligent as Ah Yu? Would I even be able to pass the test?’

’Nothing is certain. The only thing I can do is stay vigilant and use the flaws I see in others to reflect on my own.’

...

Just as Han Ning was lost in his melancholy thoughts, Fei Lie, from the Red Centipede Tribe far away on the surface of the Insect Continent, sent him a message:

"Master, a group of people suddenly appeared where you were before. Their appearance is very similar to yours."

’More people have arrived?!’

Han Ning’s heart jolted at the message. He quickly collected his thoughts and asked,

"How many of them are there, roughly? When did they arrive?"

"Maybe... a few hours ago? When our people found them, they only came across a few who were on the verge of death. It was only after we rescued them that we realized a whole group had arrived."

"Also, there’s another urgent matter I need to report. It seems some Cyan God Armor Beetle Masters who were out and about have discovered scattered humans. One of our Insect Servants saw their swarm flying overhead."

"They’ve been discovered? What the hell are you guys doing?" Hearing this, Han Ning’s brow furrowed instantly.

"Master... Please punish me. It’s my fault."

"Forget it. Now isn’t the time for assigning blame."

Han Ning recalled how the Ancestral Insect Masters had been forcibly conscripting beings from all over the Insect Continent lately. The humans’ arrival was a random event, and the Red Centipede Tribe had a limited number of Insect Servants. He couldn’t really blame them for not discovering the newcomers.

"For now, have your Insect Servants lock down the surrounding area and rescue the injured. I’ll head over as soon as I can."

"Go to the entrance of the Jade Forest. Inform Dean Wu and the Dragon Blood People, and tell them to bring people for support."

’Being discovered by the Ancestral Insect Masters is a huge deal. The arrival of new humans means there might be many professionals from various fields among them.’

’If all the newcomers are slaughtered by those brutal bastards, the loss would be catastrophic.’

’We’re studying Spiritual Arrays right now. If we could recruit some people who used to work in advanced scientific research, we could get twice the results with half the effort.’

At this thought, he stopped listening to the lecture and directly sent a message to Hom:

"Hom, something unexpected has happened on the surface. I need to go. I’ll leave Fei Lin here with you. While I’m gone, I’m entrusting all matters in Night Nether City, big and small, to you and Sage."

Considering that Hom and Sage were both incomplete Soul Bodies and couldn’t conveniently handle certain things, he also sent a similar Spiritual Message to Lin Tianhe and Leon.

"Understood. Go," Hom replied.

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle things here. Next time you come over, please bring Lisa with you," Leon replied.

"What happened?" Lin Tianhe asked in return.

"New humans have arrived and were discovered by other Insect Masters. I have to go deal with it."

"Alright. Be careful!"

After a moment’s thought, Han Ning turned to Ah Yu and said, "I have some business to attend to on the surface. You stay here and study hard, get along with your classmates, and don’t overthink things."

"Mas— Lord Han Ning, let me go with you. You’ll need a servant to guide you on your way back."

Ah Yu grew anxious the moment she heard Han Ning was leaving.

"I’ll only be gone for a few days. No need for all this."

After settling matters, Han Ning called over the Soul Beasts that were playing in the rest area, took a moment to comfort Fei Lin who was staying behind, then hopped on Egg Pancake and flew toward the surface.

Since this involved the Ancestral Insect Masters, he was worried about potential danger, so he naturally brought Qingyao along.

With Hom in Night Nether City, who was familiar with its facilities, they could hold their own against an ordinary Lord Soul Beast for some time.

...

「Southwest of the former academy site.」

In the sky, wreathed in Gray Mist, hovered a dozen or so deep green Wind Moss Flying Armor with hard carapaces.

Below the swarm, a colossal white object nearly 200 meters long, 30 meters wide, and 40 meters high was shrouded in a hazy white fog, its form indistinct.

In the distance, dozens of red-skinned Red Centipede Servants cautiously observed the direction of the white behemoth, their faces filled with anxiety.

"What did the High Priest say...? If we keep staying here, those powerful Wind Moss Flying Armor will definitely discover us," a large Red Centipede Servant whispered to his companion while hiding in a gray crater.

"AHH!! No! Please, no!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a shrill wail drifted over from the distance, carried on the breeze.

"Let’s wait a bit longer. The Holy Race Insect Masters reacted too quickly. We’re just Insect Servants; facing them is suicide. If we stay here, we might live. If we listen to the High Priest and charge in to save people, we won’t even know what hit us."

"It would be best if the Holy Race Insect Masters and the Red Centipede Insect Masters start fighting each other. Only then will we, the Original Blood People, have a chance to rise up."

The one who spoke was a shorter Insect Servant with a spark of wisdom in his eyes.

Their forms were more insect-like, and they were exceptionally ugly.

"Now that’s a big one. What is this thing? A house?"

Below the white behemoth, two Insect Masters with the features of the Cyan God Armor Tribe were mounted on a pair of Soul Beasts, curiously observing the object before them.

The agonized wails rising and falling nearby went completely ignored by them.

"Brother Cang Lin, have you noticed this continent under our feet has been getting stranger and stranger lately? I heard that a while back, several Monarch Level Soul Beasts from the Sky Splitting Butterfly Tribe died because of a storm."

"What kind of storm could kill a Monarch Soul Beast? It must have been a spatial rift. And then there’s what happened over at the Grudge Abyss..."

"And now this strange giant thing suddenly appears, along with a group of weird Alien Race weaker than ants... Could it be that the Insect Continent is really about to be destroyed?"

"Shut your mouth. If you want to live a few more years, ask fewer questions about these things."

The Insect Master called Cang Lin snapped, then turned his gaze to the ship’s hull, focusing on the weak members of the Alien Race who were scattering in panic. He spoke coldly:

"Their appearance is remarkably similar to ours. They are likely an Outer Realm Species. Capture them and hand them over to the Elder Council for research. Remember, not a single one gets away."

"Yes!" The Insect Master beside him bowed slightly, spurred his insect mount, and began directing the capture of the humans.

Cang Lin, however, remained hovering in midair.

His gaze fell upon a Caucasian woman with a beautiful face and a stunning figure, who was wearing a bikini. He reached out and made a grasping motion in the air.

A Spiritual Insect Claw made entirely of cyan particles shot out, seizing the woman who was running around in a mindless panic and pulling her through the air before him.

"No! No!"

When the woman saw Cang Lin’s greenish face and his huge, bell-like eyes, her own face turned deathly pale with fright. Her body, already weak from inhaling too much of the white mist, grew even feebler.

’The mist affects them?’

A glint in his eye, Cang Lin noticed the woman in his grasp coughing nonstop and abruptly dispersed the surrounding white mist.

GASP... GASP... GASP...

Sure enough, without the white mist, the woman’s breathing gradually stabilized.

Though her body was still stiff, at least she was no longer on the verge of death.

"Thank you..."

The woman caught her breath and looked at Cang Lin, who resembled a demon from a movie, and gave him a grateful smile.

"What are you saying?"

Cang Lin tilted his head, looking the woman up and down as the corner of his mouth curled into a slight smile.

He reached out with his left hand and, without the slightest hesitation, cruelly dug his fingers in...

"AHH!!"

The woman’s delicate skin was instantly torn to a bloody pulp by the force of his grip.

A large amount of blood spurted out.

’Such a light touch... and she’s already injured? Truly a race of ants. Although she’s quite beautiful, it seems she’s only good for a plaything.’

Cang Lin savored the wails ringing in his ears. He lessened the strength in his hand and brought his fingertips to the woman’s cheek, stroking it gently.

As he stroked her skin, his expression grew increasingly gleeful.

"No... not entirely useless. Compared to those ugly Insect Servants, these women of the Alien Race are perfect breeding tools."
