Yan Ruyu pondered for a moment, then glanced at the quiet lake again and said, "The queen worm usually hides in relatively hidden and humid places. It needs water to reproduce and control the eggs. Since this lake is the water source for the military camp, the queen worm is likely to be near the lake, or even in an underwater cave or a hidden corner on the lakeshore."

"Then let's find it quickly to prevent it from producing these disgusting things again." Xiang Ye said anxiously. We have to find the queen insect and destroy it as soon as possible.

Yan Ruyu said: "You guys look for the queen insect along the lake. I am good at swimming, so I will go to the water to look for the queen insect."

Ning Hui frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Sister Beauty, what does the queen insect look like? That way we can have a direction to look for it."

This question also raised everyone's doubts, and everyone looked at Yan Ruyu waiting for her answer.

Yan Ruyu replied, "The female insect is mud-colored, much larger than ordinary Gu insects, about the length of an adult's little finger, round and covered with fine white hairs."

"Mud-colored poisonous insect?" Xiang Ye frowned and said, "If that thing hides in the mud, it will be really hard to find. Third Senior Sister, do you have any medicine powder that can directly lure the mother insect out?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu said, "The method of using medicinal powder to attract insects is mostly applicable to those relatively simple and easily lured Gu insects. As for this queen insect, as the king of Gu insects, it is difficult for medicinal powder to attract it."

"However," Yan Ruyu changed the subject and said, "If there is a mate of the queen insect, the queen insect can be tracked. There is often a unique connection between the queen insect and its mate."

"Then Third Senior Sister, do you have a partner for the queen insect?" Xiang Ye asked anxiously, hoping that she could have some magical method to find the hateful queen insect in an instant.

Yan Ruyu rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "If I had it, I wouldn't go into the water to look for the queen. The queen's mate is harder to find than the queen. We can only use our eyes to find the queen now."

As she finished her words, a clear male voice rang out, "You can't find the queen insect even if you look for it with your eyes until dark."

Yan Ruyu's face darkened when she heard the voice. She looked at Bai Ji who suddenly appeared and asked, "Why are you here to join in the fun?"

Bai Ji smiled and said, "Miss Yan, I'm here to help. Why don't you welcome me? If you don't welcome me, I will take this male insect and find another place."

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, with a flash of surprise in her eyes: "You have a male insect?"

Bai Ji gently shook a small jade box in his hand and said with a smile, "I happen to have a male insect that is compatible with the female insect."

When Xiang Ye heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "Really? Great! Third Senior Sister, now we can quickly find that damned female insect!" After that, he waved to Bai Ji and said, "Quick! Quick! Bai Qi! Lend us your male insect."

Bai Ji's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he corrected, "Mr. Xiang, my name is Bai Ji."

Xiang Ye scratched his head in embarrassment, "Hey, sorry Bai Ji, I was in a hurry and made a slip of the tongue. Please lend us your male insect."

Bai Ji smiled and didn't care about it anymore. He walked over.

"Brother Bai, is the box in your hand filled with male insects?" Ning Hui stared at the jade box in Bai Ji's hand with sparkling eyes.

Bai Ji smiled and nodded, "Yes, there is a male insect inside." As he said that, he gently opened the jade box in his hand.

Everyone saw a poisonous insect that was similar to the one Yan Ruyu described, but even bigger than what she described, lying quietly at the bottom of the box.

"This is the male insect that mates with the female insect in the lake." Bai Ji introduced, "There is a natural induction between the male and female insects. Just release this insect and it will find its mate on its own."

"Oh my god, this worm is so fat." Su Xiaoyu frowned and looked at the male worm in the jade box. He pulled Ning Sangsang aside and said, "Xiao Sangsang, do you think this male worm looks like an enlarged caterpillar?"

Ning Sangsang looked carefully at the male insect in the jade box. It looked a bit like an enlarged caterpillar.

"It's a bit similar." Ning Sangsang said.

"Sister Su, what is a caterpillar?" Ning Hui asked curiously.

Su Xiaoyu explained: "A kind of fat worm."

Ning Hui nodded as if he understood what he said, then turned his attention back to the male insect in front of him. He curled his lips and said, "This male insect looks listless and weak, not majestic at all."

Yan Ruyu continued, "This male insect was ruined by someone."

Everyone knew who the someone she was talking about was, and they all looked at Bai Ji.

Bai Ji chuckled and said, "Without further delay, we will use this male insect to track the female insect."

Bai Ji squatted down and gently tilted the jade box in his hand.

The male insect seemed to sense something, and slowly moved its body and crawled out of the box.

As soon as it came out of the box, it immediately began to sniff around, as if looking for something.

"This male insect is looking for a female insect." Bai Ji said, carefully placing the male insect on the ground and letting it crawl freely.

"Follow it and don't make too much noise." Yan Ruyu said.

Everyone followed the male insect's movements gently. They saw it moving forward along the grass by the lake. It stopped from time to time and gently touched the ground with its antennae, as if it was receiving some kind of signal.

The male insect led everyone through a dense forest, around a huge rock, and finally stopped in front of a seemingly inconspicuous cave by the lake.

The cave is covered by dense vegetation and would be difficult to find without the guidance of the male insect.

"This is it." Bai Ji whispered, "The queen insect is inside."

"In this cave, besides the mother insect, there must be many of her cubs, right?" Xiang Ye asked with a frown.

Bai Ji smiled and said, "This queen insect has bred many offspring in this cave."

As he was speaking, the male insect had already entered the cave.

"Follow it." Yan Ruyu was about to follow, but was stopped by Bai Ji, "You go behind, and don't think about catching the male insect I caught with great difficulty." Bai Ji said as he stepped into the cave first.

Yan Ruyu saw through his intention and snorted in her heart, who needs your protection.

Everyone walked into the cave carefully.

The cave was pitch black. Ning Sangsang took out ten night-shining pearls from the space, and the cave instantly became bright.

"Xiao Sangsang, you are rich, you have so many night-shining pearls." Su Xiaoyu said with sparkling eyes.

Before Ning Sangsang could reply, Xiang Ye spoke up, "You look like a naive girl. These are just a few night-shining pearls. I'll give you a box of them later, so you can sleep with them every day."

"A box?" Su Xiaoyu's eyes widened. "Brother, you think the Night Pearls are marbles, and you gave me a box. Don't look down on me because I'm young."

Xiang Ye rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "I'm not bullying you. I said I'd send you a box, so I'll send it to you. Wait, I'll have someone send it to you when I get back."

Before Su Xiaoyu could say anything, Ning Sangsang said with a smile, "Xiaoyu, my fourth brother is a man of his words. If he said he would give you a box of night-shining pearls, he would give you a box."

"So rich!" Su Xiaoyu stared at Xiang Ye with sparkling eyes, then waved her hand and said, "Brother Xiang, don't give me anything. I don't want your night-shining pearl."

Xiang Ye did not respond, thinking to himself: He always keeps his word, if he says he will send it, he will definitely send it!

"We're almost at the queen insect's territory. Everyone, be quiet and don't talk." Yan Ruyu said to everyone.

After hearing this, everyone stopped talking and walked quietly.

The cave was damp and the air was filled with a fishy smell that made people frown.

The male insect led the way in front, and everyone followed closely behind. The deeper they went, the stronger the fishy smell became.

When it reached the depth of the cave, the male insect stopped and made a sound towards the front.

Everyone stopped and looked ahead, only to see a relatively spacious cave space in front of them, with the walls covered with moist moss.

On the ground, countless tiny poisonous insects were crawling densely, intertwining with each other to form a creepy insect web.

In the center of this insect web, there lay a huge queen insect.

This female insect was much fatter than Yan Ruyu had described, and it looked just like a chubby mud ball.

Its surface was covered with denser white hairs, and those tiny poisonous insects were crawling all over it.

The queen insect did not react at all. She just lay there quietly, occasionally moving her body.

"Oh my god, so many bugs!" Su Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice, "I have trypophobia!"

"Ugh! I'm so sick!" Ning Hui couldn't help but dry-heaving when he saw this.

Chu Ao Yu couldn't help but dry heave. He has always been disgusted by these densely packed little bugs.

"These bastards from Beimo Country are really disgusting!" Gu Yunshen suppressed the urge to vomit and said through gritted teeth.

Hua Liuli's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and she said in a cold voice: "This time, the Northern Desert Nation will pay a heavy price!"

Chu Aotian also said in a deep voice: "The Northern Desert Kingdom is finished this time!"

"I've long heard that the Northern Desert Kingdom is despicable and shameless and has no martial ethics. They like to use cheap tricks to harm people on the battlefield. Today I see that their reputation is well-deserved." Bai Ji said with emotion.

Yan Ruyu rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Don't sigh here, get rid of these bugs first."

Bai Ji smiled playfully when he heard this. "It's a pity to get rid of it. You should give them a taste of their own medicine. The Northern Desert used poisonous insects to harm the soldiers of your Great Chu. You can also use these poisonous insects to harm the soldiers of the Northern Desert."

Xiang Ye heard this and showed disdain on his face, "We will not use such despicable means to harm others. We must defeat the Northern Desert Kingdom openly and honestly and make them convinced."

After he finished speaking, Yan Ruyu said, "Good idea."

"Third Senior Sister, do you also think my idea is good?" Xiang Ye asked in surprise.

Yan Ruyu glanced at him and said, "I think Bai Ji's idea is good. We should give them a taste of their own medicine. They used such sinister and despicable means to harm the soldiers of the Great Chu State. We should also treat them in the same way and let them have a taste of the same."

"Sister Beauty, you are absolutely right. We should give people a taste of their own medicine." Ning Hui looked at Yan Ruyu with sparkling eyes and agreed with a smile.

Chu Ao Yu also agreed, "Yes, we should give them a taste of their own medicine. They don't have martial ethics, so why should we teach them martial ethics?"

"That's right. Those people in Beimo Kingdom are too vicious. They used poisonous insects to harm the soldiers of Dazhou Kingdom. We can't let them off easily." Su Xiaoyu also echoed.

"Junior sister, what do you think?" Seeing that many people agreed to give people a taste of their own medicine, Xiang Ye asked Ning Sangsang.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Ning Sangsang, waiting for her answer.

Ning Sangsang heard this and said, "I think it would be more satisfying if I could give someone a taste of their own medicine."

Seeing that his junior sister also agreed, Xiang Ye said nothing more.

"If we catch the mother insect alive, we can kill the little ones." Bai Ji said.

"Brother Bai, how do we kill the little bugs?" Ning Hui asked Bai Ji in confusion.

Bai Ji smiled slightly and took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve. "This is my special insect repellent powder. It has a miraculous effect on these small poisonous insects." As he said that, he pulled out the cork and poured out the powder inside.

The poisonous insects that came into contact with the powder instantly lost their vitality and stopped moving.

When Yan Ruyu saw this, a strange look flashed in her eyes. This Bai Ji was even more powerful than she had imagined.
