Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

The green blood of insects and beasts fell into the tent, emitting a strong, fishy smell.

But no one felt nauseous, because there was something even more disgusting...

In front of Goggle...

That plate of meat hadn't been processed at all!

It was all bloody, animal flesh.

This guy can actually eat with his mouth bulging... chewing so happily...!

"I just asked you if the Earth Demon Worm was alright, what do you mean you're alright? The Earth Demon Worm!!"

Richard saw that Goldie did not reply.

He spoke again:

"Were you driven mad by the transformation belt? Just like my Thunder Demon Worm! You are Gove's Earth Demon Worm!"

"I'm not!" Govi ​​retorted vehemently!

"Then transform! Where's your amethyst armor? Where's your head, armor, and spear? Where's your greatsword? Where's your cleaver? Where's your gigantic form?"

Richard got angrier and angrier as he spoke!

He grabbed Gove by the neck!

Static electricity emanated from his palms.

Govye was lifted up, her whole body convulsing. Until she was electrocuted and passed out…

Richard took the hypnotic potion from the captain of the guard and, without hesitation, injected it all into the Earth Demon Worm's body at the back of Govie's neck...

The midday sun was shining brightly.

Govi had just regained consciousness.

"Damn! I almost got killed by my own bugs!"

Even though that was what she said, Richard was still not entirely at ease.

Answer my question!

Govi rolled her eyes at him, but still nodded.

Richard began by asking, "Who are you?"

"Govie".

"What's your full name?"

"...Goldwyn Victoria!"

"who I am?"

"Richard Charlemagne!"

"How old are you?"

"Damn! You're asking this? 22 years old..."

How old am I?

"How should I know!"

Richard scratched his head, realizing he hadn't actually mentioned this to Goldie.

Moreover, even if insects don't know the answer, they will make things up just like AI, but humans won't.

He spoke again:

I am 20 years old.

"Who cares about you!"

"Hmm! You passed, Earth Demon Worm! Eat up..."

"I'm not a damn earthworm!"

Govi couldn't stand this teasing any longer. Although the Earth Demon Insect was currently hypnotized and unusable, she could still use the Cocoon!

She instantly grew to two meters tall. She kicked away the plate of raw meat from Richard's hand...

Richard now realized that the person in front of him was indeed Gossamer.

"Hey! My breath smells awful. Did you give me CPR?!"

Richard glanced at Goldie with some sympathy, considering whether or not to tell her about drinking insect blood and eating insect flesh...

"Do you really want to know?" Richard asked with ill intent.

Goldwell had obviously already guessed it:

"Don't tell me! Ugh...!"

……

Richard continued to tease her only after Goldie had calmed down.

"I even offered to lend you my belt so you could see if you could spar with that fifth-tier thing. But you couldn't withstand the backlash yourself."

Govi glared fiercely at the guy who was making sarcastic remarks:

"How was I supposed to know the backlash would be so severe! Your Thunder Demon Worm is at least a first-tier one, while my Earth Demon Worm is a late-stage third-tier one. Its ferocity was unleashed by the belt, so naturally it couldn't withstand the backlash."

Richard still had some concerns:

"Alright, are you still able to move? Can you suppress the Earth Demon Worm after it awakens?"

"Now we can suppress them... That's why we need to use the cocoon technology to remove the ganglia of those damned insects! If it weren't for advancing to the fourth rank, I would have removed the main ganglia of the Earth Demon Insect long ago."

Govi is still terrified when she thinks back on it, realizing that her body was controlled by the insect's consciousness within her...

Hearing what Goldie said, Richard became somewhat interested.

He was very interested in entomology.

"Why can you pluck the Earth Demon Worm's main nerve upon reaching the fourth rank? Aren't you planning to advance to the fifth rank?"

Govi gave him a strange look.

"Humans have no chance of advancing to the fifth tier... The fourth tier complete form is the limit for humans."

Why?

Govy realized she really needed to systematically teach Richard about entomology. Otherwise, the constant questions would be too much of a hassle.

"First! After the insects were implanted in humans."

"It takes one hundred days to go from level one to level two..."

"It will take a thousand days to go from second to third tier..."

"It takes 10,000 days to go from the third to the fourth tier..."

"Without using any growth-enhancing potions, even if the main insect is implanted at birth, it would take 30 years to reach the fourth rank. Based on this ratio, it would take 300 years to reach the fifth rank... Even with growth-enhancing potions, I have never seen a fifth-rank human."

After listening to Goldie's explanation, Richard completely understood.

But he became even more curious:

"So, how much will consuming fellow insects and essence insect fluid increase the growth rate?"

Govi took a sip of water and said:

"There are many kinds of growth-enhancing potions. Some last for a year with a 1% increase, while others last for a hundred days with a 10% increase. Some cannot be used in combination, while others can. Some even significantly shorten one's lifespan after use..."

"In short, I can tell you. I was a Legion Primarch seed funded and trained by the Holy See, and even under those circumstances, it took me 16 years to reach the late stage of Tier 3. It was only last year, when the Holy See canceled its funding for Primarch seeds, that I didn't break through to Tier 4..."

"As for the essence insect fluid, one liter can increase growth rate by 1000% for a whole day. But this stuff is extremely rare, as rare as a chaste prostitute..."

Gossamer rattled off all that in one breath. Without waiting to see if Richard understood, she gulped down another mouthful of water.

Richard understood; the situation was better than he had initially guessed.

If he has enough essence insect fluid, he won't need more than ten years; at most, he can become a late-stage third-order mature body in three years.

"Speaking of breaking through to the fourth tier, just having enough time isn't enough, right? You also need breakthrough materials or something?"

"Smart! Just look at those Tier 3 insects inside the Silverwing Hunter Insects. To reach Tier 4, you definitely need a lot of Tier 3 auxiliary insects. There are many veterans among the Papal Knights... They have enough time, but they haven't found enough auxiliary insects..."

Ultimately!

Becoming a high-level powerhouse isn't just about spending money; you also need to invest your life and luck...

Richard now fully understands just how brilliant Glolo's cocooning technique was.

Logically, when a person dies, the worms inside their body also die...

And as long as the third-order insect is made into a cocoon... one cocoon can be passed down for three generations, and the cocoon remains even after the person dies.

It won't even take a hundred years, just ten! Because even if the knights die in battle... the cocoons can still be recycled! The high-end combat power of the Kingdom of Kiel will definitely skyrocket.

Then, with an abundance of high-ranking humans, there won't be enough fiefdoms and titles to go around in the inner world. And with combat power becoming more widespread... the king and the papacy can expect to be swept into the rolling wheels of history!

Seeing that Richard was daydreaming again, Gosling interrupted him sharply.

Stop thinking about those unnecessary things.

Where is your fourteen-winged Devouring Knight Insect?
