Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

So I explained, "First of all, let me clarify the rules of the competition. I already asked Dafu before, and the rules are that you can't fly too high, and you have to rush out from here to win, right?"

“Yes, that’s right, there’s nothing wrong with that,” the big fly replied.

"So there are no other rules for the competition? There are no other rules at all, right? It doesn't matter how we rush out, whether it's just one person or a group of people rushing out, right?" I continued to ask.

"Yes, as long as we can get out, that's all that matters," the big fly affirmed my question.

"So let me assume that as long as I don't fly too high into the air, and I just rush out from here, then we can use any method, right? Even cooperating with others is fine, right?" I continued.

“Yes, that’s right. The previous group was a cooperative one, but they failed,” the big fly said.

"So now I have a solution: we'll just use the simplest and most brutal method—no condoms—to rush over," I said smugly.

"What method? And what does 'not using a condom' mean?" the big fly asked.

"Ah... well, that's not the point. The point is that I have a way to break out of here," I said confidently.

"So what's your plan?" the big fly asked, quite unhurriedly.

"Let's break out," I said directly.

"Is that all?" the big fly said, quite disappointed.

“Yes,” I replied.

"Is this even a solution?" the big fly said, quite frustrated.

"Of course it counts, why wouldn't it?" I said smugly.

"What's the difference between that and the group that went to their deaths before?" the big fly said, quite disappointed.

“It’s different. They flew there, but we’re different. We have to crawl there, and not only that, we have to fight,” I continued, quite proudly.

"A battle?" the giant fly exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, a battle. We not only have to charge out, but we also have to give those spiders hiding behind that cabbage a good beating,” I said.

"Are you alright? Have you gone crazy?" the big fly asked with great concern.

"Do I sound like I have something to say?" I asked back.

“It looks like it, very much like it,” the big fly said.

……

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain. If you want to escape, you have to listen to me. I guarantee we can escape, at least this time." I said very seriously.

"So what should we do?" the big fly asked, as if promising to give it a try.

“It’s simple. Go find a few other leaders, and once we reach an agreement, we can break out,” I said smugly.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

So the big fly flew away, just to give it a try. As I mentioned before, a large number of insects were hiding in the cabbage leaves around it.

The big fly was easy to find, and since I was the one who led everyone through the first hurdle, everyone didn't immediately follow my instructions.

But at least they'll give me some face; since they're all here, they want to hear what I have to say.

With the arrival of the captains of the flies, dragonflies, butterflies, and bees, I began to explain my plan.

Since I had already met everyone before, I didn't want to say much. However, the captain of the bees didn't meet me, which clearly indicated that he was suspicious. But since everyone else was here, it wouldn't be appropriate for him not to come, so he did.

"Welcome everyone. I've thought of a way to break out, and I wonder if we can all work together to do so." Seeing that everyone was here, I got straight to the point; there was no time to waste.

"Tell me your method first," the bee said directly.

"Well, I'm sure everyone knows that we only have two requirements when we try to get through this level, and there are no other requirements. In other words, no matter how we rush out, the competition won't care, right?" I explained slowly.

"Get to the point," the bee said.

Faced with the bee's request, I said directly, "Then I'll get to the point: let's charge over together."

"Charge through? You make it sound so easy. Didn't you try to charge through last time? You failed again. How do you expect us to?" the bee asked, clearly annoyed. It probably suffered the biggest losses last time.

"No, we're not just charging in the ordinary way. We're crawling over there and then having a fierce battle with the spider behind that cabbage. We're not just charging; we're charging in a fighting manner," I said directly.

After hearing my words, everyone present was stunned. Fighting directly? Fighting the spider in front of them? I guess only I would think of that; they had never even considered it.

"Are you crazy?" the bee exclaimed in surprise.

“As I said before, as long as we don’t fly too high, we can get through no matter how we try. But have you thought about why there are grasshoppers chasing us ahead when there are already spiders guarding this place?” I asked, looking at the people in front of me.

"Yes, why?" the beautiful butterfly asked.

"That's because they're also afraid. They're afraid that we'll eventually discover this hint and rush in. You know how powerful we are when we're united, but because we were caught by the grasshoppers before, and then by those spiders the latter two, we basically don't have much strength left. Even if we cooperate now, our chances of breaking through are only about 50/50," I said directly.

“If we’re any later, and those grasshoppers discover this place and catch up, our chances of breaking out will decrease again,” I said bluntly.

Upon hearing this, the guys immediately panicked. If they couldn't break out now, and if they waited for the pursuers to catch up, they would be facing a dead end, trapped between a rock and a hard place.

So after hearing what I said, they immediately started whispering among themselves, discussing how credible my words were.

After a while, the discussion finally ended, and then the bee said to me, "According to what you said, our current situation is indeed not optimistic, but it is not an easy thing to immediately merge together to fight."

Hearing what the bee said made me realize that these really are four teams of different races, and it would be a very difficult thing to coordinate if they were to fight.

I remember that every time I did pre-battle mobilization, it was always one species. I've never had four species before. What's more, different species have different combat styles and different coordination. Suddenly having them fight together will not only fail to strengthen the fighting force, but may even make the battle more passive.

Faced with the bees' question, I thought for a moment and said, "I have a way. If you agree, then go and gather your team. Before those grasshoppers catch up, let's break out."
