Zhou Qi stood beside the enormous body of the Tenth-Order Army Ant Queen, and through their mental connection, he clearly received the One-Star Talent: External Insect Nest information transmitted by the Queen:
Daily Reproduction: 320,000 Six-Stage Army Ants, 3,200 Six-Order Four Fiend Insect Soldiers, 3,200 Six-Order River Earl Insects, 1,600 Six-Tier Spiked Horned Tyrant Insects, 160 Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects, 2 Sixth-Order Spiritmorph Demons, and 1,600 Rank 6 Mind Control Magic Insects.
Looking at these figures, Zhou Qi's eyes were filled with astonishment; even though the Rank 6 Mind Control Magic Insect's life intensity was not particularly high, only 1,600 could be reproduced daily.
What surprised him even more was the increase in the Army Ant Queen's intelligence; now, communicating with the Queen was like talking to a real human, and her understanding and analysis of various matters had far exceeded the scope of ordinary Bug Clan Family.
Zhou Qi secretly mused that although the current situation was good, it was far from enough to gain a firm foothold and dominate in the Geocentric World and even broader Domain.
Currently, he set a challenging small goal—to accumulate 10 billion Evolution Points to continue strengthening the Army Ant Queen.
Each reinforcement of the Queen would accelerate the development of the Bug Clan Family; a more Advanced Queen could not only reproduce more numerous and stronger Bug Clan Family but also potentially unlock unprecedented magical talents.
To achieve this goal, Zhou Qi came to the Yellow Mealworms breeding cave.
Previously, the spatial limitations of the White Snake Mountain Underground Base made large-scale Yellow Mealworms breeding difficult, and the speed of obtaining Evolution Points was greatly reduced; but now, the appearance of the Geocentric Base provided him with vast development space.
Standing in front of the breeding cave, Zhou Qi took a deep breath, his eyes gradually becoming firm and focused. He slightly closed his eyes, concentrating all his spirit to activate the Evolution Space's teleportation function.
Instantly, the Evolution Space glowed with a dazzling light. Within the light, the Yellow Mealworms seemed to be guided by an invisible large hand, being transported batch after batch to the Geocentric Base.
During the teleportation, these Yellow Mealworms seemed to sense the vibrant vitality and vast space in the new environment; the originally quiet insect swarm became restless, exploring and wriggling on the new land.
Immediately after, Zhou Qi once again used his ability to transport a large number of Six-Stage Army Ants to the Geocentric Base.
Upon arrival, these well-trained Six-Stage Army Ants quickly and orderly began the work of breeding Yellow Mealworms according to the instructions Zhou Qi had previously given through the mental connection.
They brought the Yellow Mealworms, one by one, from the open ground into the pre-excavated stone rooms.
Using their sensitive antennae, they accurately perceived the Yellow Mealworms' needs, systematically preparing food containing tai sui meat residue, and meticulously cleaning every corner of the breeding environment to ensure the Yellow Mealworms could grow and reproduce in the most suitable conditions.
On the other side, Zhou Qi returned to the White Snake Mountain Underground Base. Under the powerful reproductive ability of the Tenth-Order Army Ant Queen, a batch of Rank 6 Mind Control Magic Insects was born.
Zhou Qi planned to observe the actual effect of the Mind Control Demon Bug, so he decided to take them to the Geocentric World to further assist his power expansion in the Earth's Core.
Then, he used the Evolution Space's spatial transfer to bring the more than 30 newly reproduced Rank 6 Mind Control Magic Insects to the Geocentric Base, preparing to experiment with the captured Yi Serpent Person from the cave. He called Uka and Wang Yufei to go with him.
Currently, under Uka's meticulous management, the Geocentric Base has grown considerably, with various facilities continuously being improved, and the Bug Clan Family members performing their respective duties, presenting a busy and orderly scene.
The cave where the captives are held is located in the deepest part of the Geocentric Base's underground city. This place is like a mysterious cage hidden in the darkness, surrounded by layers of protection.
They proceeded along a wide and deep passage. The walls of the passage were made of special rock, covered with strange runes.
These runes flickered with a faint light, seemingly narrating ancient mysterious power, and also as if silently guarding this place, preventing any accidents.
At regular intervals, a crystal lamp emitting a faint blue light was embedded in the wall, providing some illumination to the dim passage, and the light reflected on the ground, forming strange light and shadows.
At the end of the passage was the cave where the captives were held.
The entrance to the cave was a massive stone door, carved with complex patterns depicting various strange creatures and mysterious scenes, as if telling the history and secrets of the Geocentric World.
On both sides of the stone door, several Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects stood guard. Their enormous compound eyes gleamed with cold red light, constantly vigilant, watching the surroundings. At the slightest disturbance, they would immediately enter combat mode.
Zhou Qi and the others arrived in front of the stone door. He stepped forward, placed his hands on the specific positions on the stone door, and with a slight rumbling sound, the stone door slowly opened.
A damp odor mixed with a faint stench wafted out, causing people to wrinkle their noses.
The interior of the cave was very spacious. The huge space was divided into independent areas, each separated by sturdy stone walls, forming individual cells.
These stone walls were more than two people high, with extremely smooth and unusually hard surfaces, making it impossible for ordinary attacks to cause any damage. The tops of the cells were composed of thick metal bars, tightly sealed to prevent captives from escaping.
Within this cave, teams of Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects patrolled continuously.
They marched in unison, their scythe-like forelegs leaving faint marks on the ground, making a "shusha" sound, like well-trained soldiers, maintaining a high level of vigilance at all times, guarding the safety of the cave.
Zhou Qi's gaze swept across the many cells, finally landing on a female Yi Serpent Person captive.
This Yi Serpent Person was confined in a more secluded cell. She exuded a wild aura, and the scales on her body shimmered with a unique luster.
At this moment, she was glaring at Zhou Qi with an angry look, her fury undisguised, but deep within, a hint of imperceptible fear was hidden.
Zhou Qi gave an order to the Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects beside him. Several Zhu Yan Devil Insects quickly entered the cell and escorted the Yi Serpent Person out.
Although the Yi Serpent Person struggled fiercely, her resistance was futile in front of the Zhu Yan Devil Insects, each with a life intensity of 19 points or more.
The escorted Yi Serpent Person stood before Zhou Qi, still glaring. Zhou Qi's expression was calm. He took out a Rank 6 Mind Control Magic Insect from the container he carried.
This Mind Control Demon Bug was small in size but exuded a mysterious aura. Its body was semi-transparent, and light seemed to flow within it.
