Chapter 265 - 224: Mini Insect Race, Kui Dragon Pan Taiji
Wang Yi took a Red Light Blind Box and a Scroll from the Treasure Chest dropped by the Green Demon Lord.
"I risked my life for this, and I only get two items? What a rip-off!"
Wang Yi muttered, ’At least one is a Red Light Blind Box. If it had been a Red Light Chaos Egg or something, I would’ve taken a loss on this one.’
[Insect Race Special Blind Box: Special Item, Bound, Red Light Quality. Consumes 100 Chaos Energy to open. Guaranteed to produce a Red Light Quality item related to the Insect Race.]
[Green Demon Collection Scroll: Special Item. Upon use, you will receive a batch of Green Demons with growth potential. The Green Demons are defined as semi-biological, intelligent, mechanical life forms with certain Insect Race characteristics. They start as Potential Level combat units. Minimum of 1,000, maximum of 10,000.]
"The Blind Box is okay, but as for the Green Demons..."
Wang Yi shook his head. The memory of the green-headed, fly-like Green Demons made him recoil. He simply disliked this type of soldier.
He went ahead and opened the [Insect Race Special Blind Box].

"Two Red, four Gold... Forget the Green Demon Breeding Base. I choose... the Atomic Kui Worm Eggs!"
After Wang Yi made his choice, a Chaos Egg the size of a ping-pong ball appeared before him. Golden light flashed across it five times, and it shrank until it was only the size of a fingernail.
"Holy crap, what a tiny Chaos Egg!"
Wang Yi pinched the Chaos Egg, which was barely a centimeter tall, feeling it was quite a novelty.
He could now see the tiny Chaos Egg’s Attribute Information.

"An Atomic Kui Dragon? It can fly at Level 6 and gets a battleship at Level 10?"
Wang Yi immediately hatched the tiny Chaos Egg, which was less than a centimeter tall. A "Mini Godzilla" appeared!
The little thing was less than a centimeter tall. It stood upright with stout hind legs and a tail, looking extremely similar to a certain "zilla." However, it had a pair of bull horns on its head. Though small, its little eyes were bright and full of spirit.
Wang Yi checked its Attribute Information and found it had a name, Pan Taiji. It was currently Level 1 and possessed five skills: [Mini Insect Race], [Infinite Growth], [Atomic Heavy Cannon], [Wing Sheath Evolution], and [Nest Battleship]. It was a natural Territory Guardian Beast, but unlike Gegeda, it could leave the territory to fight.
Of its five skills, [Atomic Heavy Cannon] was an active skill that seemed to fire a powerful Energy Ball from its mouth.
As for its growth, it wasn’t through killing enemies, but by sleeping!
To be precise, by sleeping within the territory, it could absorb the territory’s power and level up slowly.
And the depth of the territory’s foundation would determine the upper limit of its power.
"You little guy, not even a centimeter tall... Come on, show this Lord a blast of your Atomic Heavy Cannon!"
Wang Yi poked Pan Taiji with his finger. The little creature opened its mouth and charged up for a minute, then spat out a red Energy Ball one millimeter in diameter. The Energy Ball dissipated on its own after traveling less than twenty centimeters.
"You’re so pathetically weak right now. You probably couldn’t even beat a dung beetle of the same size. But I can’t send you back to the territory to sleep just yet!"
Wang Yi carried Pan Taiji in his palm over to Li Longyu and the others. "I’ll repair the airship. You all get some rest. Once I’m done, we need to get back on the road! Yu’er, come help me look after Pan Taiji!"
As he spoke, Wang Yi placed the Atomic Kui Dragon, which was less than a centimeter tall, onto Li Longyu’s palm.
Li Longyu frowned. "Why did you catch a scorpion for me? Huh, this scorpion is so strange..."
Hearing this, Wang Yi almost face-planted right then and there.
"My dear princess, that’s Pan Taiji, not a scorpion! He’s incredibly powerful, you know?"
"Oh!"
Li Longyu responded and walked to the side to play with Pan Taiji.
Next, Wang Yi brought out the Galaxy Airship and began to punch and kick it using his No-Damage Attack.
The Galaxy Airship’s hull had been deformed during its previous emergency landing, but under Wang Yi’s barrage of punches and kicks, it quickly returned to normal.
Wang Yi added, "Now that the Green Demon Lord is dead, we probably won’t face any major obstacles exploring this Green Demon Territory. However, this world is huge. Finding the checkpoint and the exit will definitely take a lot of effort. We can’t do it without the Galaxy Airship."
"Right!"
Wang Bushi nodded, ran forward, and also started punching and kicking the Galaxy Airship.
"Big boy, stop messing around! I’m repairing it!" Wang Yi sent Wang Bushi flying to the side with a "loving" iron fist. "You don’t have many revives left. Lay low for a bit. You can play with your headbutts tomorrow!"
"Fine!"
Wang Bushi nodded. A little bored, he ran over to a Green Demon Corpse and started punching and kicking it instead.
Wang Yi glanced at the Green Demon corpses littering the mountains and plains, and an idea struck him.
The Green Demons were semi-mechanical special life forms with exoskeletons and internal metal frameworks. Logically, their corpses could be considered resources. At the very least, a good amount of metal could be salvaged from them.
Wang Yi figured he could use his Starlight Bracelet to pack some up to take back. ’It was a tough fight to kill them; can’t let them go to waste.’
So, after repairing the Galaxy Airship, Wang Yi used his Starlight Bracelet to collect the Green Demon corpses. After gathering two mountain-sized piles of them, he lost count of how many he had collected. Feeling a bit tired, he finally boarded the Galaxy Airship to continue their journey.
This time, Wang Yi didn’t bother asking Hu Miaosuan.
’That Military Advisor is too unreliable!’
Along the way, Wang Yi turned to Li Longyu, who was sitting beside him. "Yu’er, you were the number one beauty in the Typhon World, and it turns out you’re a hot commodity in the Starry Sky, too! There must be quite a few Starry Sky Gods after you now. Let me ask you, are you scared?"
"I’m not scared," Li Longyu said. "With you here, my husband, I have no reason to be afraid!"
Wang Yi shook his head. "But I’m a little scared. On the road ahead, as long as we don’t enter the Starry Sky, we’ll be fine. The world barriers will protect us, and the Starry Sky Gods can’t get in. But if we do enter the Starry Sky, I’m afraid I might not be able to protect you. I’m hesitant to take that risk. How about this: when we reach the next station, we quit!"
Hearing this, Li Longyu fell silent for a moment. She lowered her head and said softly, "Am I holding you back, my husband...?"
"Not at all! In fact, you’ve brought me more benefits than anything!"
"My husband, don’t give up halfway. Please keep going. You must reach the Chaotic World Royal Court! I’ve learned how to use firearms now, and I can also use the Palm Leaf Fan. I can even pilot this airship! I’ll do my best not to drag you down!"
Wang Yi chuckled, ruffling Li Longyu’s hair, but said nothing.
He thought, ’Having a wife like this in my life is pretty great!’
’This girl must have truly fallen for me. Right now, she’s definitely thinking about how to get stronger. Missing out on a woman this beautiful and hardworking would be a monumental loss...’
Wang Yi was feeling quite sentimental. Just as he was about to ask Li Longyu if she was willing to change her class to a Celestial God-level Witch Doctor, he abruptly realized that the woman had lowered her head and fallen asleep.
’Holy crap, she fell asleep in a second! And here I was thinking she was being all sentimental. As expected, this woman is just completely carefree!’
Wang Yi shook his head, letting Li Longyu rest her head on his shoulder. He then picked up Pan Taiji and placed it in his palm.
What followed was a boring journey.
Meanwhile, back at Eggshell Castle, Jelena, Nangong Jin, Man Datou, Li Huaizheng, and the others were in a meeting.
Almost all of Eggshell Village’s administrative staff had gathered.
Even Zhao Mei had been invited.
Lu Aqi was also present. He had brought a secret letter from King Dongsheng’s Prince Mansion. "The Ancient Barbarian Country has launched a surprise attack," he announced. "Their grand army has reached the border, invading both the Northern and Eastern Domains. The situation is dire. We aren’t far from the border and have very little buffer zone. We need to decide immediately whether to send troops to resist!"
Jelena said, "Father is not in the territory right now, so we have to make this decision! In my opinion, since war is inevitable, we must take the initiative and strike back!"
Nangong Jin nodded. "Sending troops isn’t a problem. The key is how many to send, which units to mobilize, and who will lead them. The situation is complex, and we must retain enough forces to defend Eggshell Village, as it is our foundation."
Zhao Mei raised her hand. "Hold on. May I get an overview of our Eggshell Village’s military deployment?"
Nangong Jin looked at Zhao Mei. He knew she was the Pill Dao Venerable and didn’t dare to take her lightly. "Per the Lord’s instructions," he began, "our Eggshell Village has the East and West Depots. The Eastern Depot handles internal affairs, while the Western Depot handles external affairs. The Assassins are in the Eastern Depot, which includes Heaven and Earth Defects, the Fire Fire Evil God, and Kung Fu’s Number One Killing King. The Western Depot has incorporated the Fish-Transformed Dragon. Additionally, we have the Boyka Brigade and the Sparta Brigade, which are mainly responsible for grinding on Mengbai Island and garrison defense. Oh, right, and there’s the Barbarian Guard’s Manzi Army!"
Irina added, "We also have the Civilian Militia, the Guardian Beast Gegeda, the Four-direction Ecological War General, and our robot guards. Sister Zhao, do you have a plan in mind?"
"I wouldn’t dare make the decision. I’m just offering a suggestion. Sending one team to join the fight should be enough, like the Manzi Camp. We’re just fighting the paltry Ancient Barbarian Country. It’s not a big deal."
Zhao Mei said with a smile. In her view, Eggshell Village’s Soldiers were all super-soldiers. Fighting against the Indigenous People’s troops was practically a curb-stomp battle. How strong could this so-called Ancient Barbarian Country possibly be? Sending a small team would probably be enough for a complete Suppression. It was definitely safer to keep the main force in Eggshell Village.
Man Datou was overjoyed. He let out a hearty laugh and boomed, "Alchemist Zhao is right! I, Man Datou, request to lead the charge! The Lord told me before that the disciples of the Ancient Barbarian Country’s royal family have the Barbarian Witch Bloodline, just like me! I’ve been wanting to go meet them!"
Nangong Jin nodded. "Very well! Then we’ll have to trouble the Barbarian Guard to make the trip!"
Irina said, "Eggshell Castle will prepare a material support plan as soon as possible. Barbarian Guard, do you have any other needs?"
"No—"
Just as the Barbarian Guard was about to say no, Zhao Wukang interrupted, "Yes. We boldly request that the Young Mistress support us with Gold Coins for the Evolution Pool, to rapidly increase Taisen’s combat power and enhance the Manzi Camp’s assault capabilities."
