Chapter 137: Chapter 124: Clue
“Roar~”
The towering Alien Queen lay humiliated on the ground, letting out a roar of unwilling submission.
There were still many shrieking alien guards nearby, and many wriggling eggs on the ground, but none of this could stop Tao Yu in the slightest.
“You do have some insight, smoother than I imagined.”
Seeing the other aliens that didn’t dare to approach and the Alien Queen who had chosen submission, a trace of a smile hung on Tao Yu’s face.
It wasn’t in vain that he had brought over the body of the mutated alien.
The effect of killing one to warn the others was excellent.
“Although I was confident I could suppress it, subjugation isn’t about lashing out and killing with one strike. Even relying on Fist Intention to wear it down would probably take some time, and I’d need to use quite a few Qi Replenishing Pills. Best to save where I can.”
The Alien Queen clearly was ‘smarter’, and its will to survive far exceeded that of an ordinary alien.
Tao Yu could feel the resentment of the Alien Queen, whose loyalty didn’t even reach passing grade, at most fifty—a category that would revolt and offer a ‘kiss’ anytime given the chance.
But no matter, for Tao Yu, as long as the Alien Queen could briefly give up her resistance, that was enough!
“After you’ve tasted this, you won’t believe how difficult it is to get rid of it…”
Already adept at the dual heavens of reward and punishment, Tao Yu quickly brought the Queen to the passing line, and her behavior became much more docile.

But being able to communicate ‘heart to heart’ with his mount, Tao Yu raised an eyebrow.
“After all, it is a Queen. The improvement is far less than an ordinary alien. I’ll have to grind a few more times…”
He reached out and pressed on the Alien Queen again, and in the next moment, the Queen started flailing, while Tao Yu popped another two Qi Replenishing Pills into his mouth.
“The second Deification for taming must also be scheduled, but if it stays by my side all the time, it can be stabilized.”
When Little Black underwent this same treatment, it immediately began to withstand the Queen’s pheromones and fight back.
But now, the Alien Queen was at most slightly better than the previous cannon fodder aliens and was barely obedient.
“Go, kill the other aliens.”
After stroking the sleek exoskeleton of the Alien Queen, Tao Yu coldly pointed to the other guardian aliens nearby and issued the order.
The Alien Queen roared dissatisfiedly, but feeling the intense pain from deep within its soul, it ultimately succumbed and pounced on the aliens nearby.
With a body size far surpassing ordinary aliens and even bigger than the mutated alien that had parasitized Wino, the dominant Alien Queen indeed settled one alien with each swipe.
The acid blood of the aliens couldn’t affect the exoskeleton of the Queen in the slightest.
Under the natural suppression of the Queen’s pheromones, those aliens were like lambs to the slaughter, one swipe, one kill.
Eventually, under the relentless killing and furious roars of the Alien Queen, the guardian aliens abandoned her and scattered in all directions.
Tao Yu did not intend to stop them; he could feel that it was the Queen’s orders that commanded the aliens to run, a clear-cut case of letting them loose.
“Heh, clever move. Since you let them escape, you can deal with these eggs yourself.”
Tao Yu’s voice was somewhat cold, causing the Alien Queen to stiffen.
But before it could react, Tao Yu’s hand was on its sleek exoskeleton again, causing it to howl in pain.
Seeing this, Little Black shuddered with fear.
That punishment from deep within the soul was Little Black’s nightmare, ensuring it would never again dare to defy its master.
Now, witnessing the plight of this new member, it was reminded of those terrifying memories etched into its bones.
Eventually, the Alien Queen’s thick saliva turned to bubbles, and once again it chose to submit, staggering and twitching as it stomped all its own eggs to pieces.
“Good, if you had fulfilled your first task from the beginning, then I wouldn’t necessarily have needed to get rid of these eggs. Remember that.”
Comforting the Alien Queen with a pat, Tao Yu used rewards to disperse her sadness and resentment, and distinctly felt the ‘heart-to-heart’ connection become a bit clearer.
It was still far from Little Black now, but already much higher than the cannon fodder aliens.
“Kill it.”
With a casual point towards the only remaining cannon fodder alien other than Little Black, the Alien Queen, without any hesitation, pierced its head with a flick of her tail!
Then it turned its bloodthirsty gaze towards Little Black.
“From now on, you’ll be Da Hei. When I haven’t given orders, temporarily follow Little Black’s commands.”
Tao Yu completed naming the Alien Queen.
And quite against the norms of alien society, he arranged for a division of labor.
This unexpected joy caused Little Black, which had been shivering fearfully, to suddenly feel a surge of happiness.
The Alien Queen still hissed in dissatisfaction a couple of times, but ultimately also bowed its head humbly to Little Black.
Preliminary training, successful…
…
“It can still lay eggs after leaving the ovipositor, but the consumption is much greater, and the speed slower…”
Riding on the Alien Queen’s back and leaving the nest, Tao Yu also preliminarily completed communicating with the Queen and understood a bit more about the situation.
The Queen could detach itself from the ovipositor and continue to grow by consuming energy, but after it regrows, it shouldn’t move lightly to maintain the high efficiency of laying eggs.
Without the ovipositor, it could still lay eggs, but the burden and pressure on the Alien Queen would be quite large, akin to overdrawing its life.
“Let’s complete the second Deification of talents first. Moreover, Stealth, Myriad Streams Breathing Technique, Meditation Technique should be prioritized. Taming, Riding, and Swallowing Fluid Technique come afterward…”
He couldn’t be sure that the second Deification would ensure the Alien Queen could stay away from him for long.
If not, wouldn’t that mean he’d become tied to it, essentially becoming its keeper, which would be somewhat of a loss.
“Follow me for now. Everything that needed to be accumulated is ready; it’s a good time to experiment more…”
Riding on the broad back of the Alien Queen, the sensation was much better than the bony Little Black; it was indeed a viable mount.
“I’ll find a cushion to put on it later; the effect should be even better…”
Tao Yu rode the Alien Queen away from the nest.
Having just left the dark nest and returned to the rainforest, Tao Yu immediately turned his head toward a certain direction and said in a flat tone,
“You’ve come at just the right time. Look, there’s another batch of materials I can sell to you…”
Following him were Cao Shaolin, Wino, and Little Black, each draped with Alien tails, resembling three tentacled creatures.
Upon hearing Tao Yu’s words, several members of Huang Jian’s team emerged from behind the bushes with expressions of embarrassment and shock.
Lin Chao and his sister Lin Xue, those guys from the Chaoyang Society, were no longer with the team, leaving behind the other seven members.
Even though Huang Jian and Nuosen had the guts to haggle with Tao Yu last time,
this time, seeing the Alien Queen under Tao Yu’s butt and the three figures behind him festooned with Alien tails like tentacled monsters, they were somewhat afraid.
Still selling to us?
Are you planning to trick some Yuan Force out of us and then slaughter us?
Unbelievable!
How long has it been?
Having sold the materials overnight, they had hurried back, hoping to find a good deal.
They had even fantasized about the best scenario being a situation where both parties ended up losing.
But what’s this situation now?
The Alien Queen was ridden outright, her strength not reduced but increased!
As the three laborers dumped the Alien tails in front of them, everyone also realized that Tao Yu’s group had unexpectedly gained a new member.
Tall and muscular, his demeanor was identical to the previous one, but compared to the handsome face of the first one, this new face was hideously disfigured as if it had been ravaged by acid, one look at him was enough to give people nightmares.
Huang Jian and Nuosen were just friends of Wino, and seeing this face they didn’t recognize at all, they truly didn’t make any associations.
Such a burly figure was common; those imbued with different forms, aside from taking the agile and dexterous route, mostly ended up looking like this.
“Last time, I sold it at a low price because I had specific intelligence. It won’t be so cheap this time.”
Tao Yu gave them no chance to ponder as he sat astride the Empress, looking down at them with a grin that revealed his gleaming teeth.
“If you’re staying here, it’s not because you want to ambush me, right? It’s to buy my goods?”
The pressure he applied made everyone shake their heads rapidly.
Bai Ya’s team felt powerless to complain internally.
Unbelievable, no wonder Lin Chao and his sister made excuses and ran away; they must have sensed something was off!
Bai Ya was surreptitiously scrutinizing Tao Yu with fiery eyes, as if she wanted to devour him.
This intense emotion caused Tao Yu’s Spirit Perception to stir, prompting him to take an extra look at the woman.
He had some recollection; she had invited him when he entered the camp, and then during hypnotism, she seemed to have had a very bad dream.
“We’ll buy, we’ll buy, at the original price…”
Huang Jian wore a pained expression, but ultimately decided to take a gamble.
Hearing this, Tao Yu, who had been presenting a stern face, started to relax a little.
“That’s more like it. Don’t worry, we’re in business. I won’t be so cruel; I’ll let you make twenty Yuan Force on each deal—everyone gets what they need…”
“No, the original price! We agree to the original price! Consider it an apology for our offense!”
Nuosen shook his head insistently at the side, firm on buying at the original price.
“Well, I’m really sorry about that then.”
As Tao Yu spoke, he pulled out a blank Yuan Force card with a friendly smile on his face,
“Let’s use mine this time. It’s okay to transfer slowly; take your time, no rush. Let’s count the amount first…”
After getting the cash this time, he could directly upgrade Bullet Time to Deification, and he’d even have a surplus of ten or twenty thousand to maintain his daily training and emergency needs, simply perfect.
Lucky star…
Just as they rushed to count and Huang Jian and Nuosen worked together to transfer a total of twenty-one thousand Yuan Force to Tao Yu, who was quite satisfied with the completion of the transaction, suddenly there was a roar from the sky.
The sound caught Tao Yu by surprise.
It wasn’t the familiar sound of hoverbikes but a more intense sound of tearing through the air!
“An airplane…”
Tao Yu looked up to the sky, the majority of which was obscured by dense foliage, but he located the source of the sound through the gaps.
He could vaguely see a fighter jet appearing to be out of control, spinning as it plummeted toward the forest.
Then there was a pop—the ejection seat was launched, a parachute opened in mid-air, and the plane itself disappeared from sight, crashing into the woods. Soon after, an explosion could be heard, and even slight tremors of the ground were felt.
“Armed with live ammunition… where did it come from? Zombie World? But the direction’s wrong…”
Tao Yu quickly pondered. The direction of the airplane was completely opposite; it seemed to have come from the other side!
“Is this one of the original world’s fighter jets, or is it from a new world?”
Watching the parachute in the sky, Tao Yu also pondered, then turned his gaze back to the group of Pioneers, who were just as surprised.
“Shall we all go take a look?”
Faced with the clue of an unknown new lead, Tao Yu decided to spread the risk.
He mainly figured this group could take the pressure…
