Chapter 1049 - Chapter 1049 Chapter 1049 Soldier Nest

Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Soldier Nest Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Soldier Nest Li Yao then took a look at the Frame Space, a vast and incredibly empty space that appeared in his consciousness.

The space was three thousand ‘ma’ in length, width, and height, making it an enormous space.

Honeycomb-like holes were distributed on the grey, indeterminate walls at the edge of the space; these were the nests of worker bees, which is a generic term for the Worm Tribe’s internal duty unit with limited combat capability.

Among the worker bees were included actual worker bees, Anqila engineer tanks, Aizhuo engineers, transporters, and a variety of other Worm Tribe soldier bee types. These soldier bees fundamentally had similar functions, but due to their different types, they also had significant differences, which resulted in varying energy consumption.

In the center of the space was a huge pool wrapped in chaos-glowing light and shrouded in mist. Li Yao watched as various corpses and blood, and even twisted souls, fell abruptly from the sky into the pool.

Li Yao knew that these were corpses, flesh, and souls absorbed by the Mother Bug, and the pool of chaos directly transformed and absorbed the flesh and souls that entered it.

Energy Unit Conversion Pool (Stage One)

Converts various substances into the Worm Tribe’s production units.

Energy Units: 568

Moreover, this was not merely a space for war; it could store many things. Li Yao, feeling speechless, thought that if he had this space sooner, there would have been no need to transport things onto the ship, wasting everyone’s time.

He could have just packed everything in this Frame Space and taken it all away; there was no need for a fight with Prosperous Era at all, since right now most of them were around level forty, and killing any number of them had limited impact.

Of course, that was just a thought; the strength of this Bug Mother was beyond his imagination.

And a War Space is considered a piece of equipment, a special reward given after completing any difficulty of the final mainline instance after level forty.

In fact, it marks the completion of a qualification mission for recruiting troops. The difficulty of the instance completed varied, as did the rewards received.

Li Yao knew that completing a general difficulty War Space rewarded a 100*1000 War Space reward.

For each increase in difficulty, the War Space granted increased by 100*100.

The purpose of the War Space was to carry one’s recruited followers around with them, similar to Pet Space.

However, it was much stronger than the Pet Space and could also carry some armory and supplies.

Li Yao’s Frame Space was also a type of War Space, but the quality of the Mother Bug was too high. The Frame Space could hold ordinary items, which delighted Li Yao greatly; it was like having a mobile warehouse on him, and a super-large one at that.

Of course, Li Yao would not just use it as a warehouse; it was a huge military camp, and a super one at that.

However, Li Yao’s good mood didn’t last long because he saw the soldier bee nests that he could create, but the cheapest nest required more than ten thousand energy units. Looking at his own few hundred energy sources, Li Yao shook his head helplessly; he was still poor and couldn’t even construct the first-tier troop buildings.

To produce a regular unit of worker bees generally costs three to five energy units, elite-level worker bees require ten to fifteen, and various worker bees at the Silver Elite level cost between thirty and fifty energy units.

That means Li Yao could only make ten of the most expensive soldiers with this amount of energy units. Although the number of energy units was increasing with the soul and flesh, Li Yao was still not satisfied with the rate of increase.

Li Yao gave up further research and looked towards the battlefield.

The Starfire folks were impatiently retreating onto the cargo ships, while the Prosperous Era people also showed no interest in entering their own territory, instead relentlessly attacking the Hunters who wanted to contract the queen insect.

The Hunters were not easy to provoke, and below was a chaotic battle. The situation now was that anyone who got close to the queen would die.

Realizing their predicament, the Hunters stopped approaching the queen insect. Yet, unwilling to give up, they temporarily teamed up with other Hunters to fight a fierce battle against the people of Prosperous Era.

“This is really, a bloodshed triggered by a divine pet. The Starfire people are all running away; it seems Prosperous Era is not planning to intercept,” HY said speechlessly. Of course, he was also very tempted by the divine pet. As a summoning contractor, he could contract a divine pet too, but he couldn’t make it there, and even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to get it.

“Even if Prosperous Era wanted to intercept, it would be impossible. We in Starfire are not vegetarians,” Feng Yi shook her head. She naturally knew Starfire’s trump cards, and it was basically impossible for them to retain Starfire.

“With so many people competing, Prairie Fire is still watching the excitement. Aren’t they worried that someone else will snatch away the divine pet?” Xiao Ze asked, puzzled.

Feng Yi shook her head; she naturally didn’t know what Li Yao had planned.

As for the audience, they were speechless. A good guild war had turned into a grand battle between the attention-seeking Hunters and Prosperous Era people, which was really frustrating.

Moreover, the professions of these Hunters were too singular, lacking tanks and healers. Even with various pets fighting alongside them, they were still defeated by Prosperous Era.

“Look quickly, what is that?” Xiao Ze pointed at the insect queen and said.

Everyone was puzzled, but they were soon stunned.

Beneath the city walls at the edges of their sight, the corpses began to change, their bodies swept clean of flesh and blood. With the disappearance of flesh, each body produced at least two eggs the size of a small child. The eggs cracked urgently, and out came bee-like creatures the size of children, which suddenly flew up.

Those skeletons that had lost some of their flesh also clattered to their feet. Nearly two hundred skeletons clattered around the queen, attacking anyone who tried to get close or assault the queen.

And the number of those bee-like creatures kept increasing. Soon, their numbers had surpassed a thousand.

These bees did not attack the players but continuously dragged corpses up directly above the queen. A vortex of black gaseous threads formed on the queen’s body, into which the bees flew with the corpses.

Li Yao, however, saw that through the vortex, the bees flew directly above the energy conversion pool in the Frame Space and dumped the corpses before flying out again to continue transporting bodies.

The players began to feel very tense, thinking it was a monster siege, but seeing the bees not attacking them and only transporting corpses for the so-called divine pet, they had no intention of stopping them. Hence, out of the thousand-plus Worm Tribe creatures, only about a dozen were killed before everyone ignored them.

Their idea was simple: if the queen needed the corpses for growth, and since each person saw the divine pet as their own, they naturally would not interfere. In fact, due to the appearance of the Skeletons, they did not even approach the queen. They just continued fighting fiercely, each aiming to acquire the divine pet.

The people of Prosperous Era were deflated. They had lost their territory today and couldn’t afford to lose the divine pet too, so their eyes were bloodshot. The Hunters were also unwilling to give up. The divine pet was indeed rare; without taking a gamble, who could say to whom it would fall?

What if it ended up in their own hands…
