Childhood Anime Grand Tour

He knew from their expressions that what was inside was definitely not simple, and the place they were entering was right in the center of the cabin.

"These...laboratories?"

Yuba looked at the glass jars in front of him, which contained many biological fragments, some of which were eggshells, and others of various insects.

Yuba didn't have time to look closely and quickly found a corner to hide himself. The insect trainers also came up at this time, and more than ten minutes later, the spaceship slowly lifted off the ground.

After a period of travel, the spaceship arrived inside the Sea of ​​Decay and rendezvoused with several other ships from the Earth Demon Kingdom. The ships then flew out of the Sea of ​​Decay and arrived at a village on its edge.

It seems they were split into two groups. One group was collecting things outside, while the group we just encountered was collecting samples in the Sea of ​​Decay. At this moment, the spaceship landed.

Soon, the insect trainers carried many boxes out of the spaceship, and the large glass jars were carried down by groups of six. They were very careful, with ropes tied tightly at the bottom, and some were even wrapped in cloth, indicating that they required specific lighting conditions.

Yuba had already figured out what was happening below from the outside. Whether it was those large glass bottles or the village of insect trainers in front of him, everything about them seemed eerie.

Once no one was outside, Yuba sneaked down towards their base. Even down there, it was still quite easy for a max-level thief like Yuba.

But the insect trainer's lair was filled with toxins, forcing Yuba to wear a protective mask. Soon, Yuba infiltrated the central area, where several people were discussing something.

It was none other than Gui Jia standing behind the Venerable One, her eyes fixed on him. The Venerable One then slowly spoke:

"The entire Pythagorean tribe was devoured by the Ohmu. Using the Ohmu as a tool—what a foolish act! Charuka, tell His Majesty to postpone the plan!!"

The Venerable One was the leader of the entire monastic community, elected by all the monks! But clearly, the Holy Emperor did not trust him, so it was Charuka who liaised with the court.

"Master, this is only the initial stage of the experiment. It's normal to encounter some setbacks. We will gain more experience and these can all be avoided! The King Worms are just insects. Why should we care about their lives?"

Charuka scoffed at the Mani people's beliefs, and before the master could retort, Charuka immediately continued:

"You Mani people regard the King Insect as sacred. Have you not yet shaken off the pollution of this cult? Your act of unilaterally ceasing the pursuit of Torumechia is an act of rebellion against His Majesty. Are you, Mani people, trying to slander His Majesty and the Sangha?"

Clearly, no matter what kind of organization humans are, they are essentially just makeshift groups. Seeing the two men on the verge of conflict, the burly man beside them immediately tried to mediate:

"Master, Venerable One, if you want to argue, go back to your place. The right and wrong of this war are none of our business. We've prepared the goods you ordered, the same old rules! Hehe! This time we've put in quite a bit of effort, and as for the price...!"

This shows why insect trainers are disliked; they dare to haggle over business with the imperial court and have no desire to improve themselves.

Yuba, who was eavesdropping inside the pipe, frowned deeply, immediately realizing what these people were planning to cultivate! Just then, Yuba sensed something approaching from the other end of the tunnel!

Yuba reacted quickly, and sure enough, a lot of slugs poured out of the tube. These were slugs specially bred by insect trainers. It seemed that Yuba, this old master, was about to capsize today.

As these slugs crawled out, more slugs followed from behind.

"Suffer it!!"

It now seemed they were completely exposed, and soon Yuba heard the piercing sound of sirens.

"Boss, someone has infiltrated the airway control!"

"Block the exit! Don't let him escape!!"

At the leader's command, the slugs quickly occupied all the exits. Don't underestimate these slugs; they are the tools of insect trainers. Once you get on them, their toxins will quickly erode your body!

So even the great swordsman Yuba dared not attack these slugs and could only flee towards the exit. Soon, with a quick slide, Yuba finally emerged from the pipe.

What came into view were some huge glass culture tanks, much larger than the ones on the spaceship, each three or four meters tall, and inside them were the larvae of the Queen Worm.

Is it still moving?

Yuba was shocked. These queen beetles were still alive. He immediately climbed up and looked down from the bottle opening. The little queen beetles seemed to be startled, and bubbles immediately came out of their pores.

"These lunatics!!"

Yuba really didn't know how to describe these people, but he stopped cursing there, because the insect trainers were already surrounding them.

Gun barrels were all pointed at Yuba. Yuba was just a great swordsman in this world, not a great swordsman in the pirate world. Facing these heavily armed men, he was also afraid! He knew that he would not get through this today.

Fortunately, just as one of the insect trainers was about to fire, Charuka stopped him.

"Wait, capture him alive! He's a spy for Dorumechia!"

Yuba, however, had come to terms with it. Looking down at Charuka, he didn't recognize him, but he noticed Charuka's monk's robes and the distinctive mask on his head.

"You're from the Monastic Association of the Earth Demon Kingdom, huh! When did the Monastic Association get involved with insect trainers?! What are you plotting? And what's with these King Insects?!"

That's why they say Yuba is a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person of the underworld). They were originally going to capture him alive, but now that he's out, he's definitely going to die! Charuka hadn't expected his identity to be recognized and immediately said anxiously:

"Quickly, kill them!!"

Whether the person in front of them was a spy or not was obviously no longer important; what mattered was that he couldn't be allowed to leave alive. But Charuka was clearly overthinking things, and none of the insect trainers behind him made a move.

"What are you all standing there for? Charge!!"

The man who had spoken earlier also stepped forward, a smile on his face, and said:

"Master, this man is no ordinary fellow, the swordsman of the Sea of ​​Decay, Yuba Milarda..."

The people of Chaluka were completely bewildered. What did this mean? His business dealings were with the imperial court and the Buddhist community. How could he possibly know a江湖 (jianghu) figure like Yuba? The big man's mind was very simple.

“You have to pay more!!”

Charuka was furious! These bastards! They're utterly despicable! He roared:

"Five thousand, five thousand..."

The host made a bid, and everyone rushed forward. Instead of using rifles, they drew their knives. Faced with the attack of these ants, Yuba didn't even blink. In an instant, he drew his two swords and deflected the weapons of the three men in a few moves.

"Wow, that's amazing! It seems the price was too low just now!!"

Haha, what a bunch of idiots! If they had just opened fire, Yuba wouldn't have lasted a single round, but these guys insisted on hand-to-hand combat!

Charuka wanted to kill this guy, thinking, "What kind of people are these?!" Instead, he looked at the Venerable behind him. The Venerable's face remained calm, not because he was composed, but because Charuka couldn't see it.

Logically speaking, someone with such a disability shouldn't be able to become an immortal, but his superpowers are truly amazing! Moreover, both his cultivation level and practice are far superior to Charuka's!

Meanwhile, the insect trainers continued to increase their numbers, drawing their weapons and rushing towards the stage. Yuba brandished his two swords, but he had no intention of harming anyone, because he knew that if he killed even one of them, he would be shot dead by the insect trainers.

Just then, a loud shout came from behind.

"Wait a minute, you're only dealing with one person? Don't you think that's too embarrassing?"

The group turned their gazes toward him, and saw that he was dressed in black lacquered armor, wearing a specially made helmet, with overlapping steel boots on his feet, and his wrist guards were dazzling. He casually drew a samurai sword from his waist and assumed a fighting stance.

"They are warriors of the Mani tribe!!"

Clearly, this outfit had been recognized. Yuba saw that the other person was armed to the teeth and immediately deduced that the person in front of him was a master. Judging from the scratches on the armor, the other person was a ruthless veteran who had been through many battles.

Seeing this, Yuba also felt the pressure. After all, he had already dealt with many people and was now catching his breath. He had no choice but to finish the battle quickly and decisively. He could no longer use the previous appeasement tactics. He had to find an opening and deliver a fatal blow!

"All of you step back, watch me!!"

He said, "Watch me!" and the man slashed horizontally with great force. Yuba's eyes flashed with a sharp light—there was a gap in the butt! In an instant, he leaped into the air, his long sword heading straight for the gap in the helmet. Through the gap, Yuba could see the other man's face clearly.

"Oh no, it's a child!!"

Yuba could only try his best to turn around his deadly move, which was originally a sure kill. His twin swords grazed past the boy's helmet, and the boy immediately turned around to parry with his long sword. The two were now face to face.

"Master, I am Asbel from Pejite, and I'm here to help you!!"

As he spoke, he swung his knife again, and Yuba immediately dodged, but he also believed Asbel's identity. After the two pretended to exchange a few more blows, Asbel slashed at the glass jar with his knife.

"No, quick, quick... Queen Insect..."

Charuka was so anxious he couldn't speak. Not only him, but the big man also didn't expect this to happen. As the culture medium poured out, the little queen worm inside also woke up.

Upon seeing the awakened Ohmu, the tamers panicked. They immediately raised their guns and fired at the Ohmu, while Asbel and Yuba continued to destroy the other culture tanks, causing gas to gush out from the gas supply pipes and instantly fill the entire laboratory.

"Master, run!!"

Seeing the chaos inside, the two immediately decided to make a run for it, running up the stairs, only to find the exit blocked.

"Kill them!!"

The two women were immediately stunned. It wasn't that the women were particularly imposing; the key was that the ones rushing towards them were female insect trainers, carrying brooms and mops!

But their attack power should not be underestimated. With pots and pans clanging and clattering down on them, Asber and Yuba were immediately left in a sorry state.

"This way..."

Yuba led Asber out, and Guijia was the one who led the way for them. The two of them immediately headed towards the exit.

"Little girl, why did you save me?"

"It wasn't entirely for you; we originally planned to sabotage the Ohmu breeding tanks!!"

The people behind finally opened fire, and the three escaped the spaceship despite the bullets. Before they could catch their breath, two bright lights shone down from above, and floating in the air was a huge spaceship.
