2607 Breaking the Demon Insects’ Historical Record!
Keira said gratefully, “Lord, I respectfully invite you to come in! I am extremely grateful for your help!”
The Genetic Locks brought the demon insect species into existence. Despite no Genetic Lock binding Lin Yuan and Keira, her loyalty to him equaled the security of such a bond. She had vowed allegiance to Lin Yuan with her soul.
Yearning for the admiration and favor of those one stood by was a common human desire.
Lin Yuan granted her plea and treated her with great respect. He committed to providing an ample supply of pure spirit qi, as much as she required.
Should her initial set of eggs be nurtured by pure spirit qi, the species she birthed could shatter historical records among demon insects!
Upon receiving Keira’s response, Lin Yuan entered the cave.
Before long, he encountered a feeble Keira lying on a stone platform.
Though the empress of demon insects, Keira consistently retained a human form, concealing her true appearance.
In actuality, Keira assumed the shape of an insect, a spider to be precise, boasting 16 legs.
Keira adamantly clung to her human form, regardless of her weakness, unless she faced imminent death.
Arranged beside her were four rows of insect legs, each housing 18 eggs, summing up to 72 eggs.
Evidently, the first quartet of eggs within the initial three rows radiated stronger auras than their counterparts.
Keira started softly explaining to Lin Yuan, “Lord, I am asking pure spirit qi from you so I can strengthen these eggs. This will ensure they remain strong after hatching. To us demon insects, the first batch—”
Before Keira could finish speaking, Lin Yuan took out a handful of spirit qi crystals and relaxedly crushed them.
A powerful wave of spirit qi immediately surrounded the eggs, and they began greedily absorbing the spirit qi around them.
Lin Yuan saw that the first four eggs in the first, second, and third rows were also absorbing the spirit qi. This meant that the eggs that Keira had strengthened before had not yet reached their full potential.
Lin Yuan asked, “It is probably beneficial for these eggs to absorb their fill of spirit qi, right?”
Keira was stunned.
Absorb their fill? What did that mean?
Lin Yuan’s question stumped Keira.
None of the records of the demon insects mentioned the eggs having or not having their fill of spirit qi.
She could not give Lin Yuan an answer to a question she knew nothing about.
However, it would definitely be beneficial to the demon insect eggs to absorb more spirit qi.
With the pure spirit qi that Lin Yuan provided, he could only give one or two spirit qi crystals to every egg.
Keira could only nod timidly since she had no answer to Lin Yuan’s question.
When Lin Yuan saw Keira nod, he demonstrated a mountain of wealth so gigantic that Keira would never forget about it.
A small mountain of spirit qi crystals appeared next to Lin Yuan. He reached his hand in and crushed a few of the spirit qi crystals.
Then, almost as though he felt that he was not crushing the spirit qi crystals quickly enough, he stepped on the ground, and hundreds of granules of sand appeared below his feet and shaped themselves into a large hand.
Three hands of sand were formed, and they gathered around one egg and started crushing the spirit qi crystals.
The eggs that craved pure spirit qi badly all swelled when the spirit qi made contact with their shells.
Keira could not help but gulp.
It turned out that such immense wealth existed in the world!
If she had become loyal to Lin Yuan when she was still in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, the demon insects would not have deteriorated to such a degree!
As time ticked away, the mountain of spirit qi crystals by Lin Yuan’s feet shrunk and grew three times.
Keira realized with shock that this first batch of 72 eggs had absorbed their maximum capacity of pure spirit qi!
This allowed her to write in the future history books of the demon insects that demon insect eggs indeed had a maximum capacity of spirit qi they could absorb!
After absorbing their fill, the eggs would not reject spirit qi but would stop absorbing it.
Moreover, the eggs that had absorbed their fill would become crystalized and radiate verdant light akin to that of jade-colored glass!
After absorbing the maximum capacity of spirit qi, the demon insects that hatched from these eggs would be longer and able to fly immediately after hatching.
Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction when he was certain that the demon insect eggs could not absorb any more spirit qi.
He looked at Keira and said sternly, “I made a huge investment in the demon insects because I hope you will be able to develop them into an elite army of soldiers for me. If you have any needs in the future, you can inform me immediately. Don’t hinder the development of the demon insects!
“There will be many possible situations where I won’t be able to reach you in time if you don’t give me advance notice. For example, if I hadn’t come this time, developing the eggs in the best direction would have been difficult for you.”
After receiving Lin Yuan’s warning, Keira immediately felt as though she was living in a magical world. Her master did not chastise her for using too many resources. Rather, he wanted her to use even more.
In the past, Keira would never have dared to dream that such a master existed.
She and the demon insects would be blessed if she could remain by Lin Yuan’s side.
Keira said happily, “Master, I will remember what you said! From now on, I’ll just let you know if I have any needs.”
Now that Keira had taken his words to heart, he did not give her any more orders.
Instead, he said, “Go and recover yourself. I promised the alien insects to provide them with the chance to trade bloodlines. I came for this reason. You are controlling the entire alien insect species through the Genetic Locks, so you can take the lead on this matter.
“Don’t forget that both parties must be willing before the alien insects trade with any lifeform. You can’t force them. You can also make records of the genes obtained by the alien insects in the Demon Insect Lock Decoder.”
Keira stood up and said, “Master, I am not that weak. I will go and carry out your order now!”
Keira bowed deeply to Lin Yuan before saying seriously, “Under your leadership, the demon insects will definitely achieve true prosperity! The demon insects will work hard to become your strongest weapons!”
