The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen
Chapter 115 - 31 Level 3 Territory

Chapter 115: Chapter 31 Level 3 Territory

Looking at the panel that appeared before her eyes, Bai Yi was ready to go to sleep, even bringing the soup bowl to her lips, but was suddenly interrupted by Bai Yi casting a spell.

"Isn’t it, the initiative of Zhan Yi and the others is so high?

Directly advancing the territory like that is acceptable!"

Initially, Bai Yi thought she had seen it wrong, but after repeatedly flipping through the panel appearing before her eyes, she realized she had not misread and finally accepted this reality.

However, Bai Yi remembered that the main requirements for a territory upgrade were those second-tier buildings, while other second-tier units and her own level had long been sufficient.

The upgrading of those buildings wasn’t difficult either, but Bai Yi hadn’t met the requirements for the second-tier combat units before entering the instance, so she hadn’t rushed to renovate buildings.

Originally, Bai Yi had planned to upgrade the buildings after exiting the instance and complete the territory upgrade, but now it seemed it had been completed ahead of schedule.

"The only downside is that I can’t see the stunned faces of the other Lords in the channel."

Setting down the soup bowl, Bai Yi began to seriously read the panel instructions from the beginning.

The upgrade to a third-tier territory was just as Bai Yi guessed. The territorial area expanded to a radius of a kilometer, and once again, a choice of building construction was granted.

Functionally, it also added a new feature for subjects, allowing conversion of targets within the territory, including non-combat units, into subjects.

Once the number of subjects reached a certain level, special bonuses for the territory would unlock.

After checking, Bai Yi found that even the banyan trees and Fungus Umbrellas within the territory were counted, along with the Insect Swarm, which had already activated the lowest tier effect: a 10% increase in Magic Power Concentration and a 25% increase in injury recovery speed.

Although not much, the increase in Magic Power Concentration was quite beneficial for the territory.

Currently, many of the plant constructions in the territory required Magic Power, and with this buff, it could also help solve the problem of insufficient Magic Power.

The requirements for the next territory upgrade were also visible now.

[Advanced Precondition: Possess 10 kinds of third-tier buildings (0/10), have 5 kinds of third-tier units (0/5), have 1 third-tier hero (0/1), Lord to reach lv.40 (30/40), complete at least one B-grade instance, 30 third-tier Crystal Cores]

The requirements were standard, and if Bai Yi was willing, she could even accelerate to the fourth-tier, with the only limitation being the instance evaluation.

But instance evaluation, Bai Yi felt this time it might probably be satisfactory...

With just the second-tier Insect Swarm, Bai Sheng was advancing triumphantly, so what would the combat power of a third-tier Insect Swarm be?

The goal of intimidating the Seven Countries was getting closer and closer!

Thinking of this, Bai Yi was somewhat impatient to make a breakthrough.

However, just as Bai Yi tried to open the Free Market to take out the Crystal Cores, she remembered that she was still inside an instance and the panel functions were restricted, making it impossible to retrieve them, so she had to give up.

"Good thing the Insect Swarm has the Fusion Autonomous Growth entry, now there’s no level restriction, gaining more experience can still lead to an upgrade..."

Using this temporarily popped up territory panel, Bai Yi reviewed the current situation of the territory, which since she left only saw some resource consumption and building upgrades.

Due to the faster flow of time in the instance, although nearly a week had passed, it had only been the third day in the territory.

Zhan Yi and the others, they wouldn’t have given her some major trouble, right...

Except for the territory upgrade.

Holding this slight suspicion, Bai Yi soon fell asleep.

The next day when she woke up, the first thing Bai Yi did was to ask Ju to inform Bai Sheng and others about the upgrade of the territory, the removal of the upper level limit of the Insect Swarm, and then she went to the courtyard to continue her work from the previous day.

In the side room of the courtyard, she retrieved a matryoshka box.

After unwrapping the cords that bound layer upon layer of the box, she opened it and finally took out a tightly sealed glass bottle.

The bottle, which should have been transparent and gleaming in the sunlight, was now filled with blackness that blocked even a sliver of light.

"It’s already sealed up like this, and it can still reproduce...

Just by integrating a few reproductive genes, Gathering Spirit, and Sunshine Absorption, it’s shockingly powerful..."

Inside the bottle was the Endless Moss that Bai Yi had cultivated.

Bai Yi certainly remembered the food for the Insect Swarm that she had prepared for Bai Sheng.

Back then, Bai Yi thought that since the Insect Swarm didn’t have as strict dietary requirements as humans, Endless Moss could meet their demands.

As long as she enhanced the reproductive ability of the Endless Moss, the produced moss could then be transformed into food for the Insect Swarm!

So Bai Yi fused several reproductive types and added Gathering Spirit to absorb Magic Power for Accelerated Growth, enhancing its photosynthesis by using Sunshine Absorption.

This has resulted in the moss being able to rapidly reproduce even in the absence of light, drastically enhancing its spreading speed and enabling it to propagate via spores.

Just last night, before being sealed in the bottle, the moss was less than the size of a rice grain taken from a petri dish, but overnight it had filled the whole bottle.

If released into the outside...

"We still need to fuse it with Swarm Consciousness first; otherwise, if this moss goes out of control, it wouldn’t be good."

[Current gene matches the target well. Fusion requires consumption of 1000 Magic Power Value, proceed with fusion?]

[Gene Fusion completed. Congratulations on creating a new species: Insect Swarm·Unnamed (1st-tier/Gold)]

The moment after the fusion was completed, Bai Yi felt a faint feedback from within the bottle, though it was less conscious than the Mutated Banyan in his territory.

Surprisingly, these mosses were also categorized within the Insect Swarm, allowing them to connect to the Swarm Network.

However, to reach a level where communication is possible, it seems the moss must grow to a certain extent.

Now that the control issue is resolved, the next consideration is its edibility.

Among the genes Bai Yi currently possesses, he can only think of Dense Fat and newly acquired Sugar Secretion.

The former might give moss characteristics of Blood Flesh, while the latter...

Might make the moss taste sweet?

"Um, still have to look into fusing Fire Resistance and anti-cold while adding Adaptability and Autonomous Growth, and also devouring...

Thinking about it, it still lacks a lot.

Speaking of which, what would these mosses look like if they underwent an Activation? Would my Swarm also need a Fungus Blanket?"

Bai Yi imagined the future appearance of the moss, growing increasingly excited.

When this fully formed moss was delivered into Bai Sheng’s hands, three days had already passed.

......

Emilia, Barbarian Bear Tribe, Settlement outside Levite

Bai Sheng stood on an exposed rock, gazing towards the distant large settlement.

In three days, she had successfully fulfilled her promise that day, and now all of Emilia was under the control of the Swarm.

This was the last glimmer of Emilia.

But Bai Sheng hesitated to initiate the attack.

"You’ve come, Cat Boss."

Feeling the weight on her shoulder, Bai Sheng’s eyebrows relaxed.

"Yes, this is what Bai Yi sent with me for you, she said this is the Swarm food you wanted. Be careful when opening it; they are very active!"

Orange cat carefully handed over a bottle to Bai Sheng, cautiously, fearful of accidentally breaking it and releasing the contents inside.

During these three days, it had witnessed the moss gradually become eerily terrifying and was all too aware of the capabilities of this moss.

It truly did not want to open its eyes to see the wriggling moss right before its eyes!!!

Orange cat continued looking at the distant settlement for a while, then asked, "Hasn’t he appeared yet?"

"No, ever since we started sweeping through Emilia, that legendary Great Hero of Emilia hasn’t shown up, as if he’s evaporated.

We’ve already surrounded his headquarters, yet he still doesn’t wish to show himself..."

"What will you do? Intend to just wait out?"

"No!"

Bai Sheng’s tone was decisive.

"I plan to launch an attack tonight. If that Great Hero appears, I’ll need Cat Boss to take action!"
