Monster Paradise

Chapter 1688: Die Once

Lin Huang hovered before the Ten Thousand Bug Maze.
In contrast to the massive hive, he was as tiny as a particle of dust.

However, he was not afraid at all in the face of this colossal edifice.

Instead, he was very sure that the many Bug Tribe beasts in the hive ought to be filled with respect for him at the moment.

For a while, he did not do anything at all.
He was thinking of how to deal with the hive and the remaining bug beasts within it.

He had no sympathy at all for the Bug Tribe.

This was because the tribe destroyed every place they went to.
They would frenziedly plunder various resources in the great world to strengthen their Tribe.
After exhausting all the available resources, they would migrate to the next world in a carefree manner, leaving the dead world behind.
They would then repeat the same process as before.

They did this to such an extent that the ancient legends of many Tribes even called the Bug Tribe a bug plague.
In essence, they regarded the Bug Tribe as a type of calamity.

It did not matter what kind of sci-fi work Lin Huang had seen on Earth in his past life, the games he had played, or the knowledge he had obtained from being in contact with the gravel world later on.
They all contributed to his distaste for the Bug Tribe.

His first thought was to kill all of the hives in the Ten Thousand Bug Maze.

However, he soon encountered a problem.

The material that the hive was made from could obstruct all sorts of energy transmission to a great extent.
This not only included Divine Power and Odyl, but it also included the transmission of God’s soul power and Divine Telekinesis.

Therefore, he could not control his telekinetic flying daggers so that they would penetrate through the hive and kill his enemies.

It was also a problem locating the Bug Tribe Queen Mothers in such a massive hive.

If he wanted to kill the Queen Mothers in the hive, he could only do it the hard way, which was to go deep into the hive and hunt for them one by one within the hive passages.
This would definitely be an extremely time-consuming process.

Naturally, there was another way, which was to destroy everything, hive and all.

If the hive was crushed into smithereens, the Queen Mothers in the hive would not be able to escape, much less the rest of the bug beasts.

However, Lin Huang still had some reservations about that.

He really wanted to preserve the Ten Thousand Bug Maze.
After all, he had his own Bug Tribe army.
Furthermore, since the several Queen Mothers were creating more and more Bug Tribe armies, his original hive would be at full capacity soon.

The Ten Thousand Bug Maze in front of him was massive enough for the Queen Mothers under his control to use for a very long time.

Even if he obtained more Queen Mothers in the future, it should still be sufficient for their use.

Right as Lin Huang was at a loss, a tremor shook the hive, and a voice came from it.

“Senior, we’re willing to surrender.”

“Eh?” Lin Huang was rather surprised.
He had not expected that the Bug Tribe would choose to compromise.

What he did not know was that after he had killed Nine Snake, the group of Queen Mothers in the hive had actually been discussing what to do next.

All of the top-ranking elite fighters in the entire hive had been killed in action.

The highest combat strength left in the hive was a lower-rank lord-level Queen Mother, a group of heavenly god-level Bug Queens, and around a dozen heavenly god-level Queen Mothers.
The rest were old, weak, or infirm.

They knew very well that even if all of their remaining comrades were to go into battle, as far as this human male was concerned, he might very well be able to kill them all off with a single attack.

Resisting was futile.
It would only increase their chances of dying.

What about escape?

They had already seen what had happened to Scarlet Fox and the rest.
After observing and learning from the others’ mistakes, they knew very well that running away would only hasten their deaths.

Therefore, after the discussion, the Bug Tribe finally made a decision—they would surrender!

This was because only surrender would guarantee them a chance of survival so their Tribe would be able to continue its legacy.

Lin Huang narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered for a long time after hearing the Bug Tribe’s offer of surrender.

He definitely intended to accept their offer.
After all, this would mean that he would be able to obtain a perfectly intact Ten Thousand Bug Maze.

He was now considering how he should deal with this group of Bug Tribe beasts after accepting their surrender.

A moment later, he finally nodded in agreement.

“Very well, I accept your surrender.
Come into my Kingdom first, then.”

The hive fell silent for a brief while, but it did not take them long to agree to this.

Lin Huang opened up his Kingdom, enfolding the dead bodies of the Raider team into it along with the Ten Thousand Bug Maze.

From any outsiders’ point of view, Lin Huang had probably done this so he could have better control over the hive.

However, the truth was that he did not want Liu Fu to see what would happen next, even though he had no idea whether or not the man was still covertly watching his actions.

“Come out now, all Queen Mothers and Bug Queens rank-5 and above.” Lin Huang’s voice drifted above the hive after he saw that it had entered the Kingdom in his body.
“I don’t wish to see anyone left behind.”

Not long after he spoke, the bug beasts began crawling out of the hive one by one.

Leading them was the lord-level Queen Mother.

Its upper body was almost the same as a human.
Even to human aesthetic senses, it was definitely an enchantingly beautiful woman.
However, although the faulds of its armor covered most of the area below its waist, its striped abdomen characteristic of the Bug Tribe was still visible.

There were a dozen over Queen Mothers who followed their leader out.
All of them were in half-human, half-bug form.

This was not what they looked like in reality.
Instead, knowing that Lin Huang was human, they had intentionally taken on this form.

There was also a group of fairly powerful rank-5 Bug Queens who came out of the hive together with the Queen Mothers.

These were the Queen Mothers’ bug guardians.
However, the highest combat strength in their midst was only a half-step Lord; most of them were only high-level Heavenly Gods.

In actual fact, the abilities of this group of bug guardians were already considered powerful in the great world.
However, they were nothing compared to Lin Huang.

After that, the early intermediate-stage Heavenly God Bug Queens, as well as the Bug Queens and Queen Mothers that were not yet heavenly god-level, came out of the hive one by one as well.

Lin Huang was actually a little shocked to see how many of them there were.

There were over forty Supreme God rank-5 Queen Mothers alone.
There was one lower-rank Lord and fourteen Heavenly Gods, while the remaining thirty-one were not yet heavenly god-level.
The youngest of them all appeared to have been born very recently; it was only a first-rank True God.

There were even more rank-5 Bug Queens—over three hundred of them.

However, most of them had yet to achieve heavenly god-level.
Apart from the Queen Mothers’ group of bug guardians, the heavenly god-level Bug Queens had basically been killed on the battlefield earlier.

There were close to four hundred rank-5 bug beasts in total.

This was the number of the old, the weak, and the infirm that remained after the defeat just now.

Lin Huang could almost imagine how powerful this Bug Tribe had been before the battle earlier.

He felt rather glad that his unintentional action had resolved a massive threat to the great world.

Lin Huang observed the rank-5 bug beasts standing before him with their heads lowered.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his mouth twitched up in a faint smile.

He had already decided how he was going to subdue these bug beasts.

“If all of you wish to submit to me… then you should die once first…”

Hundreds of blood-red arcs shot out as the Bug Tribe beasts all displayed shocked expressions.
The arcs pierced through the heads of all the Queen Mothers and Bug Queens present.

Lin Huang glanced at the hive, aware that all the other bug beasts in the hive were watching what was happening.

He casually gathered up the bug carcasses scattered all over the ground and put them away in his storage space.
He then crushed the cards that Xiao Hei had just consolidated.

Close to four hundred Queen Mothers and Bug Queens suddenly reappeared, as if the group of newly slain Queen Mothers and Bug Queens had been resurrected.
