Chapter 2956: Found the Queen Bug, Escaped Quickly!
In the directionless space, the bugs became the best guides. The more bugs there were, the more likely the queen bug would be present. Finding and killing the queen bug would lift the curse on the 160 Dao Sovereigns of the Lu Feng Merchant Guild. Like the queen bug of the insect clan, it could produce countless offspring. No matter how many offspring died, it didn't affect the queen bug. But once the queen bug died, all offspring would perish. Lin Moyu believed his judgment was correct; these illusory bugs should follow the same principle. He had discussed this with the Three Ancestors and was mostly certain.
To capture the leader, first capture the king. Lin Moyu's task was to find and kill the queen bug. The power of the Great Dao propelled his blood, and Lin Moyu charged through the space, shattering any bug he touched. In this space, there was no direction or distance, and Lin Moyu had no idea how far he had traveled or how many bugs he had killed, only that their numbers kept increasing. These bugs had no intelligence and didn't understand death; they only knew how to parasitize. Since Lin Moyu entered this layer of space, the bugs started swarming towards him, heedless of their own lives.
Lin Moyu frowned, "Where did those two grasses go?" "They didn't enter this space. Do they have another path?" If the two grasses had entered this space, the bugs would have been divided, not all coming for him. This suggested one explanation: the two grasses weren't in this space. They might have been here before but weren't now. But the ice and fire grasses didn't understand the Space Great Dao, so how did they enter and leave this space? Lin Moyu sensed that the treasury had multiple layers of space, requiring passage through each. "Unless they know the correct path!" As avatars of the Hundred Herb Alliance leader, the ice and fire grasses knowing extra information was normal. Lin Moyu didn't dwell on it; he had to kill bugs until he found the queen bug. This was his promise to the Three Ancestors; if he encountered it, he had to keep his word.
Lin Moyu, like a god of slaughter, a god of bug extermination, fought his way to the bugs' lair. The space was filled with bugs, unimaginably numerous. The true form of the Great Dao roared, and Lin Moyu pushed his blood to the limit, unleashing it. His blood transformed into a dragon, sweeping forward, shattering countless bugs. "How can there be so many?" Lin Moyu muttered, thinking the queen bug must be insane to produce so many bugs. "What is this thing trying to do?" Lin Moyu thought the queen bug was either crazy or sick. The dragon of blood cleared the way, and Lin Moyu fought his way into the bugs' nest. Countless bugs swarmed out, emitting sharp screeches. The bugs were small, but their cries could shake the soul. Illusory bugs pounced from all directions, but Lin Moyu's blood shook, shattering them. More bugs swarmed, realizing their numbers meant nothing to Lin Moyu and began merging into a giant bug. Lin Moyu didn't care about its size, punching again, the dragon of blood crashing into it. The bug roared, its tongue shooting out like an arrow, colliding with the dragon.
Boom! Lin Moyu's body trembled, his dragon of blood repelled. The bug's tongue shattered but was quickly repaired by more bugs. "It's getting stronger!" Lin Moyu didn't expect the fragile bugs to become so strong when combined. In his palm, fortune gathered into a Sword of Fortune. The Sword of Fortune slashed out, followed by another punch, the dragon of blood merging with the power of the Great Dao, charging out. The Sword of Fortune appeared before the bug, stabbing three times. The bug screamed, its massive body slashed by the Sword of Fortune. The dragon of blood followed, smashing the bug to pieces. Once the bug lost its combined strength, it became fragile again, quickly reduced to dust by the dragon of blood. Lin Moyu, with a hint of disdain, continued his slaughter. He knew he was in the bugs' nest and would soon find the queen bug.
The dragon of blood rampaged, leaving nothing alive. Finally, Lin Moyu reached the deepest part of the nest, where a golden light entered his view. "The queen bug!" Lin Moyu finally saw the queen bug. It looked like a giant centipede, with thousands of legs, each with countless pores. Illusory bugs continuously flew out of these pores. It produced trillions of bugs, enough to parasitize an entire continent's worth of life. The queen bug sensed Lin Moyu's arrival and let out a screech. The screech pierced the soul like a sword, making Lin Moyu's soul defenses tremble, causing him to shudder and momentarily freeze. In that instant, the queen bug turned to flee, its antennae slicing through space like scissors, diving in. When Lin Moyu regained his senses, the queen bug was halfway through. Meanwhile, many illusory bugs merged into two giant bugs, charging with claws bared.
Lin Moyu snorted, quickly forming two Swords of Fortune, slashing out. Simultaneously, he punched twice, the dragon of blood emerging, following the Swords of Fortune towards the bugs. As before, the Swords of Fortune slashed the bugs, and the dragon of blood crushed them. Lin Moyu acted swiftly and ruthlessly, killing the blocking bugs in an instant, but the queen bug had already escaped into another space, leaving only part of its tail. Lin Moyu couldn't act in time, so he used the Great Dao Lock. A wisp of the Great Dao of Fortune landed on the queen bug, locking onto it. The queen bug entered another space, the space crack closing. The true form of the Space Great Dao emerged, and Lin Moyu became semi-illusory. He sensed the space, knowing the Ice and Fire Secret Treasury had many layers and he needed to follow the Great Dao Lock to track it. "It can really run!" The Great Dao Lock pointed the way, and the queen bug, with its space-cutting ability, fled quickly, already far away. Lin Moyu wanted to chase but found it difficult to break the space without finding the connection point. It was like moving from the first floor to the fifth; the queen bug could take the elevator, while Lin Moyu had to find the stairs on each floor. If Lin Moyu's realm were higher, reaching the Dao Sovereign Fifth Realm, he could directly smash the space. Lin Moyu felt helpless. As he sensed the space connections, he was surprised to sense the aura of the ice and fire grasses!
