Chapter 95 (2/2)
“We only need to obscure ourselves behind the insects we summoned and let them battle with the dragon. Remember? You said we specialize in matches of endurance, so as long as we work together, we can definitely work this long con.”
“Alright, listen to me, Insect Mother. Use your Bloodline Connection and upgrade your wasps flying speed. Then, order them to break through the air defense and move to the empty area, we can give the humans a shock in the meantime.”
Insect Mother did not obey immediately, she advised, “I don’t think we should do that. The Greater Rat King and the Bai Family had had more time to grow their influence and power.”
“I’ve heard they’ve clashed with the dragon as well, and even they chose to back away temporarily. Let’s not stand out. After all, the dragon doesn’t know of our existence, it wouldn’t be detrimental to our future plans.”
The Insect Demon was already irritated after having to explain so much. At the sound of Insect Mother’s continued hesitation, he reprimanded, “Don’t be such a coward! What are you afraid of? Can’t you let me enjoy a fight? With so many substitutes around, as long as one of our wasps lives, we can resurrect. At most, we’ll do over.”
“But if we can kill the dragon, it’d be a very good advantage at this early stage of development! Just do what I told you. If you’re still hesitating, don’t blame me for using whatever means necessary to force you to do it!”
The giant chrysalis no longer replied, she stopped producing Giant Yellowjackets and started to tremble.
Before long, waves of invisible energy surged out as the chrysalis’s massive physique shrank minutely.
The man nodded in satisfaction and comforted her, “Don’t worry. With my skills, as long as you follow my instructions, the dragon is as good as dead! It’d benefit you the most in the end, does it not? You will be the first Dragon Wasp Mother!”
She heard his claims and finally became more active in controlling the swarm.

Right about then, in the secret command post on the Southwestern mountain.
A worker said, “Report is in, the observation unit just sent an urgent report saying the radar is detecting the swarm’s new actions, they are flying into the air.”
“The swarm has reached several hundred meters in the air, and they are still climbing up. They might be trying to break through the air defense. NASBOU had confirmed this through the change in their power level and presence.”
The executive of the Truth Department said, “How is it so? Dammit, those were only some yellowjackets, even if something major happened, they were still the size of sparrows, they can’t possibly fly that high into the air, something must be wrong. The earlier reports must have been misled, someone is controlling the insects. Start searching for the mastermind.”
Someone spoke up, “Elder Hai, the mastermind must have been hidden, or the reports wouldn’t have been misled. How do we deal with the swarm trying to escape?”
“Even if we ask the air troops to support, it’s impossible to keep them in the encirclement unless we use nuclear weapons. Other weapons could only disperse the insects, not kill them.”
Elder Hai said, “No, it’ll be harder to deal with them if they mutate due to the radioactive waves. Moreover, the after effects of that is too strong to justify using nuclear weapons. Lemme think, how are the infrasonic weapons doing?”
Someone else answered, “From the current feedback, there were some effects but it wasn’t strong. After mutation, these insects are biostructurally different, and they all have a slight hint of magic in their bodies, so they were resistant.”
Elder Hai frowned, “Ask the brainstorm group for help, don’t let them escape.”
It was not long after before another report came in, “Reporting, the latest radar showed that the swarm kept their formation after rising to a thousand meter high, moving to the west.”
“The west?” Elder Hai was perplexed, “That’s a highland area, and it’s a no man’s land. There’s barely any animals or plants. Why would they run there instead of focusing on the food-dense areas? Order all the airborne units to follow them in observation and hold their fire.”
***************
In the System Space.
Fang Ning said, “I heard from Zheng Dao that the bugs swarmed toward the west as if they were trying to flee. Do you still want to chase after them?”
Vigilante A looked at the sky. The swarm of giant insects overlapped each other all the way to a thousand meters high, it was as if the sky totally blacked out.
The System did not answer the question, it chased after them controlling Vigilante A.
Even though the insects were flying, they were not fast. With Vigilante A’s ultimate Qinggong, he definitely could keep up.
