Many Yi Serpent Person captives were imprisoned in cells deep underground, where it was dark, damp, and filled with a suffocating smell.
You Long stood silently outside the cell, holding a spear. Her stern gaze occasionally swept over the Yi Serpent Persons inside the cell, and the powerful aura emanating from her body made these captives dare not make the slightest move.
Several Parasites, granted spatial teleportation permissions, shuttled like ghosts between the Geocentric Base and the White Snake Mountain Underground Base.
Each time they returned from the White Snake Mountain Underground Base, they would carry special containers filled with Mind Control Demon Bug.
These Mind Control Demon Bug trembled slightly within the containers, emitting an eerie and mysterious glow, as if eagerly awaiting the task of parasitism.
When the Parasites brought the Mind Control Demon Bug to the dungeon, a wave of fear quickly spread through the dungeon.
One by one, the Yi Serpent Person warriors watched helplessly as their comrades were led out of the cells and then parasitized by the Mind Control Demon Bug.
The eyes of those parasitized Yi Serpent Persons instantly became hollow; the hatred and anger that had once filled them disappeared, replaced by an endless reverence for Zhou Qi.
Like walking corpses, they were led back to their cells and looked at their former companions with strange yet submissive eyes, filling the hearts of the unparasitized Yi Serpent Person warriors with helplessness and despair.
Even Kui Luo, the Yi Serpent Person Elder, could not escape the fate of being parasitized.
He was too heavily injured; had it not been for his relatively high life intensity, he would have died long ago from such severe wounds.
At this moment, he lay quietly in the corner of the cell, his weak body, under the various talents of the Mind Control Demon Bug, finally lost its protection over his brain and was parasitized by the Mind Control Demon Bug.
The next day.

In the early morning, soft yet eerie light filtered through the unique luminous rock fissures of the Geocentric World, scattering onto the plaza of the Geocentric Base.
Zhou Qi arrived there early in the morning, only to see that the group of Yi Serpent Person warriors had already arranged themselves neatly in formation within the plaza.
Due to the fierce attacks of the Five-Rank Human-Handed Centipede in battle, the numbers of this Yi Serpent Person army were reduced by nearly half, with approximately a thousand remaining.
Zhou Qi walked with steady steps, slowly approaching the front of the plaza.
His gaze was firm and majestic, each step seeming to land on everyone's hearts. The Yi Serpent Person Elder and the Yi Serpent Person warriors behind him all knelt down, shouting “Dominator” in unison, their voices neat and loud, echoing through the plaza.
Zhou Qi's gaze coldly swept over everyone, finally landing on Kui Luo.
He frowned slightly, and his voice, deep yet full of majesty, asked, “What is your original name? What is your origin?”
Kui Luo looked up, his former arrogance and ferocity completely gone from his face, now only reverence for Zhou Qi remained.
With a hint of fear in his eyes, he respectfully replied, “Master, my name is Kui Luo, and I am an Elder of the Alien Serpent Alliance. Our Alien Serpent Alliance has existed in this Geocentric World for a long time, formed by the union of several powerful Yi Serpent Person tribes.
There are many strong individuals within the Alliance; there are ten Chieftain-level strong individuals alone, forming the Ten Great Elders within the Alliance, who control powerful forces, and there is an even more mysterious Leader presiding over us. It is said that the Leader is an ancient Yi Serpent Person who survived from the last era.”
Kui Luo paused, swallowed, and continued, “We constantly wage war, annexing other weaker tribes and expanding our territory. Previously, attacking the tribe where You Long was located was to seize the spiritual springs and Ore resources within their territory. Those spiritual springs can nourish our bodies and enhance our strength, while Ore can be used to forge powerful weapons and armor.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qi sneered inwardly, “Alien Serpent Alliance, you have found your path to destruction!”
He secretly calculated in his mind that now his strength was continuously increasing, and under his command, he not only had powerful Bug Clan Family but also these parasitized Yi Serpent Person warriors to command.
This was a good opportunity to test the Alien Serpent Alliance first, as he still hadn't figured out the true strength of the Yi Serpent Person Leader who survived from the last era.
After some thought, Zhou Qi decided it was best to let Kui Luo take the remaining remnant army back to the Alien Serpent Alliance's camp. The Alien Serpent Alliance was too far away from him, and there was no need to engage them now, as the battle line would be stretched too long.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qi ordered Kui Luo to lead the army back first, then turned his attention to the Eastern Dense Forest. The numerous giant insects in the dense forest could serve as combat power to supplement the diversity of the Bug Clan Family, and he could also see if there were any more profitable insects to replace the Yellow Mealworms as “feed.”
As soon as the idea formed in his mind, Zhou Qi handed the matter over to Uka, giving him full responsibility.
Upon receiving the order, Uka immediately began selecting suitable family members to form an exploration team.
He chose a legion composed of fifty thousand Four Fiends Insect Soldiers, ten thousand Spiked Horned Tyrant Bugs, three thousand Zhu Yan Demon Insects, and ten Sixth-Order Spiritmorph Demons. These family members were powerful and could play important roles in both combat and exploration.
Before departure, Uka carefully explained the mission to his family members. As their ranks increased, the Bug Clan Family also gained considerable combat intelligence, especially the Sixth-Order Spiritmorph Demon, which was almost as intelligent as a human.
Subsequently, this team, led by Uka, advanced towards the Eastern Dense Forest.
Along the way, they made no attempts to conceal themselves. Relying on their overwhelming numbers and powerful strength, they captured several giant insects along the way, which were carried as captives by the Six-Tier Spiked Horned Tyrant Insect.
At this time, the Six-Tier Bug Clan Family were much stronger in both size and life intensity than when they were first bred by the Ant Queen.
After some trekking, they finally reached the edge of the Eastern Dense Forest.
At this moment, the dense forest was shrouded in a mysterious and dangerous aura. Gigantic plants grew twisted and intertwined, forming a complex maze.
The dense branches and leaves covered the sky, making the light in the dense forest dim. Only occasional faint rays of light struggled to penetrate the gaps in the branches, scattering onto the ground, forming patches of eerie light and shadow.
The surroundings were terrifyingly silent, with only occasional low growls from unknown creatures, which sounded particularly chilling in the quiet environment, sending shivers down one's spine.
Uka led his family members slowly into the dense forest.
Their footsteps were light, trying not to make any sound, and their eyes constantly scanned their surroundings, not missing any abnormality.
Suddenly, a huge beetle burst out from the nearby bushes.
This beetle was as large as a small car, with an incredibly hard shell that shimmered with a metallic luster in the dim light, like a solid armor.
Its pair of huge pincers made a “crunching” sound as they opened and closed, like two giant scissors, making people fearful.
Its scythe-like mouth was constantly gnawing on a humanoid body.
