Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

Although the battle between the two ferocious insect beasts was fierce, it almost destroyed half of the camp.

But they all tacitly kept the battlefield away from Sally.

They gradually plunged into the nearby lake, splashing water everywhere.

The enormous figure was gradually submerged by the lake water.

Until there was no further movement...

Richard, who had been watching the battle from the forest and hadn't run away, saw this opportunity and ran out.

He grabbed Sally and carried her away in an instant.

"Young Master..." Sally buried her head in Richard's chest.

Even in such a dangerous situation, the young master still came back to save me...

"Huh? Huh? Sally, why are you all wet...? Why are you crying?"

Sally was probably terrified, and coupled with the influence of the Silver Demon Insects, she was extremely sensitive both emotionally and physically. So it's perfectly normal for her to cry.

With these thoughts in mind, Richard hugged Sally tightly and fled into the taiga forest...

Within the vast coniferous forest.

A day has passed since the insectoid attack.

Richard has obtained new daily intelligence.

[Daily Intelligence System: A Queen-level insect exists in Mushroom Forest... You can try to capture it...]

However, he was at a loss as to how to obtain today's intelligence, as he had no idea where the Mushroom Forest was.

He could only lead the scattered remnants of the team deep into the coniferous forest, hoping to get lucky.

Govi actually understood that she was likely the one who had attracted the insect beasts, and she felt very guilty.

After escaping danger, the remaining troops who caught up with Richard said they would protect him.

Richard also suspected that the Silverwing insect killer was attracted by Govy.

However, we still need to rely on her power now; we can't afford to completely sever ties...

"Goddess, stop digging, it's deep enough." Richard was getting impatient.

Govye climbed out of the pit, and the pioneers threw in the two recently deceased human corpses...

Richard threw the torch into the pit and set the dry branches ablaze.

The crackling of firewood mingled with the aroma of burning wood in the air...

In the world outside the walls, no matter how well a body is buried, it will eventually be eaten.

Cremation is the only final destination; otherwise, it would only benefit those insects.

For some reason, even though human corpses were right in front of him, Richard didn't feel any distress, not even the slightest discomfort.

Have I adapted yet?

Indeed, the insect-beast attack yesterday morning has resulted in so many deaths that it's become commonplace.

The meat at the bottom of the pit gets more and more fragrant as it roasts...

"Gurgle..."

Sally swallowed hard.

If she hadn't filled her stomach...

The silver demon worm inside her body is probably going to control her and make her hold the meat and eat it.

"Let's go, those two silver demonic insect beasts aren't dead yet, I wonder if they'll come looking for us..."

Richard picked up Sally in his arms.

Carrying it to my chest as I travel...

To prevent the silver demon worms inside her from releasing location pheromones, she was injected with a hypnotic drug.

Although it was just a targeted hypnotic insect, it still made Sally's waist and legs feel weak.

Richard led the remaining fifty pioneers after the attack, traversing the taiga forest.

The Silverwing Killer Bugs only killed a few dozen people.

On this day, everyone else died in all sorts of bizarre ways:

Unfortunately, parasites burrowed into his brain; he stepped into a fungal swamp and was swallowed; he was drained dry by blood flukes; he sucked the fart of a laughing worm and laughed himself to death...

Although these insects are small, they are no less dangerous than the Silverwing Killer Insects.

As for the remaining pioneers, either they didn't find the bodies, or they simply got separated.

"Young Master... the Silver Demon Insect is about to wake up, I feel so cold..."

Who designed this backless sweater? To stay warm... Sally had to wear it inside out.

Holding something soft and sweet against my chest... this position is just too torture!

"Don't call me 'Young Master,' I feel more like a servant now..."

Govi, who was standing to the side looking dejected, pretended to be interested and started talking.

"If you can't carry me anymore, give me yours; we can keep each other warm."

"don't want!"

"No!" they both exclaimed in unison.

Gowei clicked her tongue twice and then injected Sally with another hypnotic drug...

"Speaking of which, Stormwind City isn't accepting pioneers anymore. Are you sure you still want to go there?"

There are people in Stormwind who can suppress the insect parasites, so Richard naturally wants to go.

However, this was only one of the reasons; he also needed to find some labor in Stormwind.

Moreover, the pioneering team had all scattered, even though the emergency plan designated Stormwind City as the rendezvous point.

But Richard didn't know how many people would survive to leave the Tailwood and reach Stormwind.

As you venture deeper into the forest, coniferous trees gradually decrease, and broad-leaved trees take their place.

It is now night, and three moons hang in the sky.

The tall, dense bushes blocked out the moonlight, and all sorts of strange mushrooms began to appear in the forest.

In this dark forest, mushrooms and spore dust provide illumination with their faint glow.

Upon seeing the mushrooms, Richard felt a surge of excitement: Had he finally found them? The Mushroom Forest?

Goldie wanted to get away from this area, but Richard insisted on going...

Everyone was wearing a face mask.

This gas mask has a filter filled with cotton and spices. It's used to filter spore dust from the air in mushroom forests.

Richard put on the mask, inhaled the pungent spices, and couldn't help but complain inwardly.

Don't the people of this world know that only cotton fibers have a filtering effect? ​​Why add these fragrances?

Unlike in medieval Europe, they wouldn't have believed that spices could cure poisons, would they?

But he soon realized why spices were needed.

Deep within this mushroom forest, human corpses began to appear one after another.

These were humans from a long time ago, not belonging to this era.

In such a humid and warm environment, the body should decompose rapidly and turn into bones.

However, the corpse was covered with many grayish-white filaments, preserving its basic appearance from when it was alive.

Most bizarrely, the corpse retained the horrifying expression it had before death.

It also emitted a strong, fermented, and fishy odor, almost making everyone vomit.

Without those spices, Richard probably would have really taken off his mask and vomited.

Thus, it inhales those glowing mushroom spores...

Richard waved his hand in the air and collected some glowing spores.

A white juice can be squeezed out when you squeeze it hard.

Govi reminded him with a dark expression.

"The mushrooms here are all parasitized by insects; they are all dormant mushroom worms."

"Stop playing with the spore eggs. Be careful not to inhale them and let the worms hatch inside your body."

As expected of a Papal Knight, he frequently operates in the northern snowfields and is well aware of the dangers of the world beyond the walls.

Richard looked at the white spores in his hand: This is also a kind of insect egg?

The original owner was sent to the outside world, where there was a hidden mission that all noble families would issue.

They collected insect eggs outside the walls to raise their private army.

In order to make him obey, the family also made a promise.

Because insects possess four life stages: first-stage juvenile, second-stage adult, third-stage mature, and fourth-stage complete.

Provide one thousand insect eggs with the potential to reach the third stage of maturity.

The family then tried to use their connections to bring Richard back to the Wall World.

After all, establishing territory in the snowy northern plains teeming with insects and beasts is extremely difficult.

"Govie, do these spore-forming worm eggs have the potential to reach the third stage of maturity?"

Richard wanted to see if he could complete his family mission while searching for the Queen-level bug.
