Chapter 1652: Chapter 530: Investigating Myself? (6k)
In the original plan, Bai Yi indeed did not have the intention to leave any survivors.
The plan was to quietly let the insect swarm devour the fleet, leaving the conclusion that the fleet underestimated the enemy and got wiped out by the insect swarm.
However, this general just reminded her that if some survivors remained, the effect of this attack might indeed be better.
With this general’s proactive stance, what was originally dispensable survivors suddenly gained value.
This also meant, in a certain sense, that he successfully won a way out for himself.
Of course, her experiments still couldn’t be stopped.
"If you want to join us, you must prove your strength!
Surviving from the hands of each test subject, only then will you have the qualification to join!"
The insect swarm, which was already about to move, paused, trembling the air to repeat Bai Yi’s voice, and then moved again.
But this time it was no longer everyone charging recklessly, but instead, a one-on-one battle began.
Hearing the voice of the insect swarm, Ximu knew he had gambled correctly.
As expected, his guess was right. These insect swarms being capable of such abnormal actions surely have some unknown entity behind them!
And from the current signs of the insect swarm’s activity, there’s definitely an unimaginably grand plan, and he, right now, is merely an inconspicuous step in the opponent’s plan.
Fortunately, the opponent is not the type to strictly follow plans to the letter. He can still make the opponent slightly alter the process of achieving their plan.
"Defeat all the Insect Clan, test subjects? Is this to make me a sparring partner..."
He muttered to himself, thinking of the opponent’s previous reference to these Insect Clan, having a general guess.
Once a decision is made, there must be no hesitation or regret. He automatically blocked out the shouts and curses of the other mages behind him, re-entering battle mode.
The magic wand waved again, disregarding the consumption of magic power, he met the battle within a group of special Insect Clan.
Without the threat to his life, Ximu was commendably dutiful in battle, fully considering himself as a test participant.
After combat with almost every Insect Clan, his magic power nearly depleted, he finally broke out from the insect swarm, reaching the edge of the battlefield.
The others on the battlefield had long since been defeated in battles with the ordinary Insect Clan, becoming experience packages and barely useful breeding material for the insect swarm.
Even without other targets, the insect swarm that fought him just now didn’t continue to attack, allowing him to recover his state.
Clearly, the unknown entity from earlier was very pleased with his performance.
After confirming this, Ximu breathed a sigh of relief, panting heavily while frantically absorbing all the magic power he could.
Only then did he have the mind to think about everything he had encountered earlier, feeling a wave of fear.
The Insect Clan he encountered just now, each had a strength that equaled Tier Six, and according to the unknown entity’s words, they were just test subjects.
Not to mention other ordinary Insect Clan could easily survive under Tier Six attacks and counterattack.
Once in melee, there was practically no chance.
Yet previously on the colonization star, and during many other attacks, those Insect Clan pretended to be weak, disguised as easily killed, irrational beasts.
Now it seems neither "not strong" nor "lacking logic" was true?
Deceiving the entire starry sky like this, what exactly does the one controlling these insect swarms want to achieve...
Ximu thought warily, but soon breathed a sigh of relief again.
Fortunately, his intuition led him to a decision, avoiding a future of losing his life directly.
Now his identity has completely changed, no longer needing to worry about the secrets within, which may instead become his assistance.
Too bad for that bottle of Lord Fanmao’s potion, unless the other side intends to let him go, there might not be another chance to obtain it...
However, since he now has a new identity, he must completely sever ties with the past. Any attachment is disrespectful to the current boss.
This is something even young people in love understand, and Ximu understands it too.
Sighing secretly with relief, Ximu immediately adopted the mindset of his new identity, beginning to think from the insect swarm’s perspective.
Taking advantage of his slightly recovered state, he tentatively asked the remaining insect swarm in front of him:
"Excuse me, what do we need to do next..."
Before he finished speaking, Ximu suddenly sensed something, hearing a voice different from the previous insect swarm.
"No need to do anything, just wait for everything to end.
Hmm? Just realized, your talent is actually not bad?"
Ximu turned his head in surprise to the direction of the voice, only to see a person emerge from a cabin in one of the passageways.
He didn’t recognize her, but that aura felt very familiar...
No, when did she enter the flagship? How did no one notice at all?
"Strange? It’s just a small trick, you’ll surely come into contact with it often in the future.
Well... indeed, I originally thought you were just an ordinary transcendent, didn’t expect you actually have Seventh Rank potential.
Quite promising, you’re a good seedling!"
Bai Yi tilted her head curiously looking at the fleet’s general, the panel in her eyes reflecting his true strength.
In the previous battle, he had used almost all of his abilities, and after fighting the insect swarm for so long, the panel had long been exposed.
Originally, she just wanted to obtain a high official from the Carli civilization as an insider, like the Roes civilization’s minister of research.
