Chapter 258: Taking Over the Magpie’s Nest
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At this point, Roda finally discovered a problem.
The Archean City was about to change hands.
Leaving aside the Giant Clan, just the mention of Queen Blade building a nest for her insects… Roda had never heard of such a thing that they were abandoning the insect nests in the process…
In any case, it seemed like he would probably not be the City Lord of Archean City for long.
“Well, I won’t be the City Lord anymore!”
Although there was some resentment in his heart, it wasn’t too much.
After all, he was about to finish absorbing King Lin’s inheritance, and he already had plans to seek revenge on his enemies once he returned to the Eternal Clan.
On the 339th Day of the Black Mist Calendar.
The main forces of the Giant Clan and Insect Clan had arrived.
The Giant Clan army that came to Archean City was the Third Legion under Hao Lie’s command.
The banners covered the sky, and the Giant Clan warriors, with an average height of over five meters, passed through the city gates of Archean City with great vigor and high morale.
There were over a hundred Spirit Realm experts and countless Physique Realm experts in the army, and their military might was at its peak.
The Spirit Realm Mother Insect under the Queen of Blade’s command also settled down outside Archean City.
One by one, the pale white Mother Insects, each about ten meters long and three meters high, resembling giant maggots, were squirming underground as soon as they landed.
When they had dug deep enough holes, with a “plop,” the entire Mother Insect burst open, and a pale yellow liquid substrate scattered all over the cave.filled the cave.
Engineers then crawled in and out, transporting the pre-prepared biomass into the cave.
As the liquid substrate continuously digested the biomass and obtained energy, one cyst after another sprouted from the substrate one after another and proliferated.
It would not take long for these seemingly cysts to hatch fearless Insect Clan warriors and wipe out all enemies for the great Queen Blade!
The arrival of the Insect Clan and Giant Clan brought some troubles and inconveniences to Lu Ming.
“You guys should move out. I’m requisitioning this City Lord Manor.”
Today, Hao Huang said this to Roda.
After a long silence, Roda nodded and walked out. He went straight to Lu Ming’s room and said to him,
“Brother Lu, if you don’t want to have any conflict with them, we should leave now.”
Lu Ming, who had returned from the Void Space, thought for a moment and simply stood up.
“Then let’s move out.”
Although it did not look good to be chased out, Lu Ming already had the intention to leave. Moving out now was not a big deal.
Moreover, Lu Ming had already made some preparations for this matter a long time ago
“Is the house outside ready?”
Roda nodded and said, “Mr. Quan Chao has already prepared a house for us, and everything we need is available.”
Several days ago, Lu Ming had instructed Quan Chao to find a house in Archean City.
They were guarding against the Giant Clan and the Insect Clan.
Seeing Lu Ming had agreed, Roda thought for a moment and could not help but say, “Brother Lu, I think it’s indeed time for us to leave… 1 don’t mean leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, 1 mean leaving the Archean City and going through the Hundred Thousand Mountains to the Eternal Clan.”
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the current Archean City had already become a huge vortex.
No one could predict what would happen or what they would encounter inside it.
The best option right now was to run away and not worry about what was about to happen here. What did it have to do with me?
However, Lu Ming had a different idea.
“I understand your concerns, but right now, I indeed need some time to cultivate in seclusion.”
Lu Ming did not elaborate on the rest. He just opened his attribute panel and looked at his attribute pane.
After skimming through the three-dimensional attributes that had increased by ten times, Lu Ming looked directly at the column for the Body Protective technique column.
He saw that it clearly stated:
Diamond Shield (Novice) (l/ioo): Physique Realm Body Protection Technique.
[Additional Special Effects: Enhanced Defense, Flame Vigor Burning, Enhanced Repulsive Force, Nourishment, Soul Protection, Cold Force Resistance, Thermonuclear Protection, Wind Element Protection, Thunder Element Protection, Earth Element Protection.]
The additional special effects column was constantly flashing with a faint light.
There was another line of notes below:
[Note: Additional special effects are currently being integrated. Please continue to cultivate the Body Protective technique and master more special effects, which will serve as a reference for integration…]
A month ago, Lu Ming’s Body Protective technique had already undergone such changes.
There was no need for speculation because the attribute system had marked what needed to be said and what Lu Ming needed to do.
Lu Ming also wanted to see what exactly this special effects integration was.
“So, I still need some time.”
After saying this to Roda, Lu Ming thought for a moment before adding,
“And with me here, you guys can rest assured.”
Roda could not help but open his mouth.
He understood Lu Ming well and knew his style of doing things.
Lu Ming had always been a very humble and insecure person.
He would never boast.
But now, Lu Ming said that they could rest assured with him around… this made Roda vaguely think of something.
“Do you have confidence in defeating a Source Realm expert or even multiple Source Realm experts?” Roda asked quietly, his expression sly, as if he were being sneaky.”
Regarding this, Lu Ming only shrugged slightly, “I don’t know as I’ve never fought them before, but it’s probably possible.”
Roda brought his people out of the City Lord Manor.
Lu Ming, Roda, Roxin, and Uncle Lu.
There were only four of them in total, along with some luggage and treasures.
As for the servants in the City Lord Manor, they were all taken over by Hao Huang—he indeed needed some servants to serve him.
It was not until they walked out of the City Lord’s Manor that Lu Ming turned around and looked at the highest point of the manor.
Over there, the Giant Clan member named Hao Huang and the Insect Clan Queen named Queen Blade stood side by side, overlooking their group.
Their six eyes met, and the three sides were expressionless.
It was not until Lu Ming had walked farther away that Hao Huang spoke, “That person is the only one in this City Lord Manor that I can’t figure out”
“On the surface, this person’s strength is completely insignificant. However, every time something big happens, Roda will always look for him immediately. I observed for a while and confirmed that this person is not a strategist or anything like that. So the only explanation is that this person is hiding his strength.”
Beside him, the Queen of Blade burst out laughing.
As she used a small knife to meticulously groom her nails, she said disdainfully, “Hiding his strength? Why, is he a Source Realm expert?”
Hao Huang said solemnly, “I don’t know, but we should keep that possibility in mind.”
“Nonsense!” the Queen Blade retorted bluntly in front of him, and added, “Even if he’s a Source Realm, he’s at most at the first or second level. In front of both of us at the third level of the Source Realm, he can’t cause any trouble!”
“Moreover, I don’t believe that a Source Realm expert can be chased around like a dog by someone.”
“You’re thinking too much. It’s turned into a delusion.”
Hao Huang did not argue with Queen Blade and just shook his head and said, “It’s just to eliminate the risks… After all, we haven’t found any trace of Esek yet, but I do have a feeling that things are becoming more and more troublesome.”
“And once the situation develops unfavorably…”
“Our Giant Spirit Blood Sacrifice and your Dung Beetle Divine Descent…”
Hao Huang’s voice became softer and softer until it was almost imperceptible..
