Chapter 299: Chapter 233: The Insect-race Hero! The gallbladder of the Three-Headed Snake!
In the depths of the black fog.
A silhouette was floating in mid-air, behind him, a pair of almost transparent wings were fluttering frantically.
He had a narrow head, with his nose and mouth almost entirely disappeared, replaced by a pair of bulbous black compound eyes that took up most of his head.
His body bloated, bearing an overall earthy yellow color, with a large sac on his back.
His lower body bore a slightly protruding sharp stinger, which was dull and lacked any shine.
However, if anyone were to get close to him, they could undoubtedly smell a tremendously sweet scent wafting around him.
“This human habitat has managed to hold out for so long…”
A raspy and somewhat unfamiliar voice came from his mouth, indicating that he had not spoken much in a long time.
“The hero of mankind? Those humans in black armor and riding Griffins, how can they be so strong?”
“Thousands of heroes of the Human Race, it’s impossible… what on earth happened?”
His huge compound eyes, filled with numerous tiny pupils, swiftly radiated light, staring intently at the deepest part of the distant habitat.
“The hero of the humans… No! It’s the aura sensed by the queen!”
“Is their strength boosted under the influence of that aura?”
“Hehehe…the direction chosen by Heilai and Moss, those two wastes, is wrong!”
“What the queen wants to find, I found… my luck, it’s really good!”
He looked around, surrounded by swarms of Flying Thunder Dragons and sandworms, two types of Alien Beasts.
“It’s a shame… the rule of Jasha Island’s power is indeed strong, even with the queen’s suppression, I still can’t fully break through.”
“I can only mobilize alien beasts within an area of fifty thousand square kilometers, and the upper limit of the alien beasts that can exist on Jasha Island is only six stars…”
“Using the Flying Thunder Dragons and sandworms to weaken the defensive power of the human habitat, then I personally crush them… and thus seize what the queen needs!”
“Unfortunately, there are not many Flying Thunder Dragons and sandworms in this area, otherwise, if I summon a swarm of hundreds of thousands, or even millions, the human habitat would prove insignificant.”
The silhouette extended his hand, and a special tool shaped like a hive, appeared in his hand.
“To ensure everything goes smoothly, I should summon some clansmen.”
“With their involvement, this human habitat can definitely be completely destroyed!”
“Come out, my children…!”
“Buzzzzzz…”
Amidst the ear-piercing buzzing, the hive in his hand suddenly became gigantic, up to ten meters in diameter, and heavily landed on the ground.
Subsequently, wasps as tall as half a man, with sharp poison needles at the end of their tails, flew out from it.
Amid his hearty laugh, at least thousands of wasps covered the surrounding.
“Hehehe… my children, don’t be in a hurry…”
“Wait until the strength of this human habitat has been nearly worn out by the Flying Thunder Dragons and sandworms, then you can attack!”
“Buzzzz…”
The wasps were flying around, as if promising the silhouette.
Inside the habitat.
It was at this moment that Zheng Cheng’s Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique scanned this area.
Densely packed, at least five thousand new alien beasts appeared in his skill scan.
The fluctuation from one of the red dots particularly caught his attention.

“It turns out to be a hero of the Insectoid Race!”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes sparkled, his voice cold.
Beck questioned: “My lord?”
“Nothing.”
Zheng Cheng shook his head: “There’s a hero of the Insectoid Race in the black fog, he’s summoned a new type of alien beast. Yet for some reason, they chose not to attack with the Flying Thunder Dragons and sandworms.”
“A hero of the Insectoid Race? New alien beast?” Beck wondered: “My lord, I do not know what they look like, but we can send scouts to investigate. As long as they note down their appearance, I may be able to guess which race they belong to.”
“Apparently called Carnila Jaw Bee.”
“Carnila Jaw Bee!”
Beck’s voice was somewhat surprised: “Is it them?”
“You know them?”
“Yes.” Beck continued, “Carnila Jaw Bees are one of the three royal families among the flying insect race in the Insectoid race. They excel at poisonous attacks and poison dart technique. Furthermore, their race has the highest proportion of heroes among the Insectoid race!”
“As for why they aren’t attacking with the Flying Thunder Dragons and sandworms, this has to do with the Insectoid Race’s ‘tradition’.”
“Tradition?” Zheng became interested: “What tradition?”
“Attrition.”
Beck explained: “The Insectoid Race is extremely vast in quantity, and they are best at implementing swarm tactics.”
“Before every significant battle, they would marshal hundreds of thousands, millions and even tens of millions of Alien Beasts as pioneers, or as expendable units, allowing them to exhaust our human defensive forces first. Afterward, the heroes and the royal guard of the Alien Insect race would launch an attack, sealing our fate.”
“With this tactic, we were utterly defeated… Today, we can only rely on a few strangholds for defense, barely clinging to survival.”
“We believe that the number of these Alien Beasts is too large, proving to be a burden for the Alien Insects. Therefore, they use war to reduce the surplus of Alien Beasts within their race…”
“A tactic using a wave of insects?” Zheng Cheng suddenly had a thought, quickly coming up with an idea.
“Beck, relay my command to split all troops into three shifts, to take turns resisting the attack. At the same time, during each defensive period, some individuals will be withdrawn and concealed in the bunker.”
“We will feign weakness, and after eradication of the Flying Thunder Dragon and Sand Worm, we will lure the Canira Jaw Bee Hero into our encirclement, understand?”
Beck immediately responded, “Yes, my lord!”
After speaking, he turned around to leave but was stopped by Zheng Cheng, “This is your reward for pledging your loyalty to me, seizing power from the Alien Beast…”
He beckons, and a soldier carrying a box walks forward.
Upon opening, there were 20 Three-headed Serpent Gallbladders quietly lying inside!
On Jasha Island, nearly all the Alien Beasts primarily possess stamina, strength, and agility.
Only a Three-headed Serpent Gallbladder has the effect of increasing Spirit.
As such, Zheng Cheng reserved all the Three-headed Serpent’s Gallbladders and did not distribute them to regular troops.
After all, both the standards for Griffon Knights and martial art soldiers focus on physique and strength, with no requirement for spirit.
But for magic users, the spirit attribute is undoubtedly the most important!
Beck was taken aback, “My lord, this is…”
“Power!”
Zheng Cheng succinctly explained, “Eat one gallbladder, and your spirit will increase by four points, and your strength by one point. Each person can consume twenty.”
“I have said before, as long as you pledge your loyalty, you’ll receive power beyond your wildest imaginations!”
Twenty Three-headed Serpent’s Gallbladders can increase Beck’s spirit by 80 points and strength by 20 points.
A total of 100 attribute points!
This is equivalent to an elevation of eleven attribute levels for a nine-star Professionist, even one point more!
This kind of rise can double the strength of an existing Professionist!
Not to mention regular mages like Beck.
“Hiss…” Beck inhaled sharply.
He was not a hero, thus unable to ascertain his four-dimensional attributes.
However, he was fully aware of what these twenty gallbladders represented.
Power.
The power to resist the Alien Insects.
Power akin to what Shadela possessed!
Beck immediately knelt on one knee, expressing his immense reverence, “Thank you, my lord!”
“Half of the members of the Court Magician team are my disciples. I believe they will all pledge their loyalty to you…!”
Zheng Cheng shook his head, “I don’t believe in oaths, but as you know, I am the Chosen One in your eyes, and the hero of your world… there is a better way to prove their loyalty!”
Beck nodded, Loyalty!
As the one who had summoned them to this world, Zheng could see their level of loyalty.
If the loyalty exceeds 90 points, it signifies that they are completely loyal to Zheng Cheng.
As long as Zheng Cheng doesn’t betray them, abandon them, or subvert their worldview, moral values, or inner consciousness, they will remain loyal to him for life.
If the loyalty reaches a 100 points, this signifies that they are completely dedicated to Zheng Cheng and will not betray him even at the cost of their lives.
As of now, the loyalty levels of those who were recruited by Zheng Cheng, such as Zhang San, Niu Jindao, Chen Zhong, Yang Hou’er, Li Youji, Shadela, and Beck, are all at 100 points.
Only those recently recruited– the magicians, shield bearers, and heavy armored cavalry, have their loyalty levels hovering around 80 points.
Beck stood to his feet, “I understand, my lord!”
He received the Three-headed Serpent’s Gallbladders in reverence, thanked and left.
Upon consuming these Three-headed Serpent’s Gallbladders, Beck immediately perceived an intense surge in his spiritual strength.
The application and control of elemental force became incredibly effortless, the speed and quality of spell casting improved several-fold.
Massive fireballs, each one being much larger than a human and forged at his hands, crashed into the army of sandworms. Two worms were instantaneously blasted off.
His colleagues stared at Beck in awe.
“This is the power of our lord!” Beck shouted loudly, “The lord has granted me this power. He is capable of plundering the power of the Alien Beasts and conferring it upon us! He is the true Chosen One, the savior of our Desolate World!”
“I, Beck Roland, have made a solemn oath of the Desolate Land, pledging my lifelong loyalty to Lord Zheng Cheng!”
“Gentlemen, offer your loyalty!”
In the hall.
Zheng Cheng, while watching the exponentially increasing loyalty of the Court Magician Team, nodded appreciatively.
Even the Shield Bearer Team and the Heavy Armored Calvary Team’s loyalty levels had significantly increased.
Spend a thousand gold to buy a horse bone.
Everything that Zheng Cheng was doing was to completely subdue these newly-recruited high-tier troops.
Court Magician team, Shield Bearer team and Heavy Armored Cavalry team.
Having done all this, he resumed dissecting the Flying Thunder Dragon and Sand Worm.
The proficiency level of the Random Dissection Technique was nearing the 9000 mark.
Breakthrough imminent!
Three days later, the proficiency of the Random Dissection Technique reached 10,000 points!
The skill level had escalated to LV6!
At the same time, the Canira Jaw Bee Hero hidden in the black fog, could no longer resist and launched an attack!
“Attack!”
