The Harvest, the Tsunami Returns
The outskirts of the Beastfolk territory are now desolate and silent, the forest shrouded in a thick, pale red mist.
The Insect Mother's Psychic Energy threads permeate the entire underground palace, including those of her children.
Naturally, the moment Shisui landed, she noticed this uninvited guest.
She attempted to use Psychic Energy to weave new Insect Hives and deploy them around the palace.
She planned to deceive Shisui's senses, lure people away, and escape.
However, the Kakugan's observational abilities are quite overpowered.
In Kakugan, none of the other Psychic Energy fluctuations of the same origin were as bright red as the Insect Mother's.
Shisui isn't blind, so he wouldn't be fooled by her at all.
He stepped inside, neither confused nor straying into the side paths of the underground labyrinth.
He headed directly towards the location of the Insect Mother, the Blade Scales on his Bikaku standing upright behind him.
The scales faintly reflected a beautiful, shimmering, purplish-red starlight in the darkness.
With a swing, the walls of the maze were instantly pierced, and then the towering opening was supported by the Blade Scales that detached on their own.
What a load of rubbish about a maze, what a waste of time!
The Insect Mother panicked completely the moment he launched his first attack.
Although she was also from the same Earth Realm, her realm was lower than that of Shisui San.
Furthermore, since her abilities are primarily focused on reproduction and control, she is unlikely to be able to defeat a true Predator.
Therefore, before Shisui appeared in her area, the Insect Mother immediately began to seek help from her personal guards.
The Beastfolk soldiers guarded the Insect Mother, their grip tightening as the surrounding walls trembled more violently.
The Insect Mother behind them began to develop cracks in her body, and her outer skin trembled slightly.
As Shisui broke through the last layer of the wall, the Insect Mother suddenly shed her outer shell, which stored energy.
Just like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.
Beneath its massive, bloated fat shell lies a tall, slender, and beautiful Insect Mother.
The induced Psychic Energy fluctuations spread, and the soldiers sent by the orc chief of Beastfolk around them instantly lost their focus.
They were actually entangled by the Insect Mother's Psychic Energy threads, their souls becoming her prisoners.
The guards, no longer tense and uneasy, now displayed unwavering resolve and fearlessness in their duty to protect the Queen.
The Insect Mother spoke softly, "Good evening, sir. You..."
Before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind swept over him.
The next moment, she was grabbed by the neck and hoisted into the air.
His limbs were also sliced off.
At the same time, all creatures on the scene except the Insect Mother either died instantly from being pierced by the Radiant Feathers or from the impact of Psychic Energy.
A thin mist rose from this space, and Feather Powder spread out with the disturbed airflow.
The space was completely sealed off.
"I ask, you answer."
Shisui uttered the first words as he entered the room.
Then, the Insect Mother, still struggling while suspended in mid-air, spoke again.
"Please don't be hasty, sir. I can say anything, as long as you agree..."
"Never mind, I'll find the same result if I search myself."
Sensing the Insect Mother's ill intentions, Shisui didn't bother to ask any more questions and suddenly snapped her neck.
Then, Bikaku a thrust and a dig, the Insect Mother's brain was instantly ripped out.
The surrounding corpses, along with the remains of the Insect Mother, immediately crystallized into Flesh Crystals and were absorbed into the Alternate Space.
This wasn't a place for soul searching, so he didn't rush to take out [Spirit Dream Recall].
The Shisui Koukaku climbed up the shoulder blades and arms, covering the Insect Mother's brain in the blink of an eye.
Then, Shisui directly tore open Space Wormhole and left.
All that remained was a scene of utter chaos.
No sooner had he left than a large number of Beastfolk soldiers who had heard the commotion arrived at the scene.
What happened? Where is the Insect Mother?
Before they could even grasp the situation, the entire Insect Race underground palace suddenly began to tremble.
Shisui controlled the Blade Scales that supported the collapsed wall. After he left, the detached Rc Cells were manipulated to die from a distance.
The load-bearing walls of this underground palace were largely damaged.
The magnificent passageway built to facilitate the entry and exit of large armies became the final straw that broke the camel's back for the palace.
"Boom--!"
The underground labyrinth collapsed with a deafening roar!
None of the Beastfolk who came to investigate survived; they were all submerged under the reinforced, hardened soil.
As for Shisui, he put away the Insect Mother's brain and returned to the banks of the Spirit Resonance River in an instant.
Through the numerous Radiant Feathers on the south bank, he keenly sensed that the Sea Race were brewing some kind of special magic array.
Just to be on the safe side, he should close the net.
At this moment, the Insect Race, having suddenly lost their "brains," began to descend into uncontrollable madness.
Their attack was more ferocious than before, but they also lost the meticulous planning they had previously used to surround their prey.
On the outskirts of Meifeng County, amidst the thick fog, the dense swarms of insects finally found some weak points through which they could break through.
"Report: The Beastfolk in the southwest corner have lost reinforcements, and their numbers have decreased significantly."
An advisor from Meifeng County was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Really? That's great! Immediately organize a team to conduct further investigation."
His brow still furrowed with deep worry. "Once we've confirmed we can break through, report it immediately."
"Yes!"
Just when everyone thought that the hope of survival was within reach, a sudden change occurred.
The battlefield, which had been completely shrouded in a thin fog, suddenly fell silent.
What kind of feeling is that?
Although his mind was still clear, his body seemed to have become a cage, tightly imprisoning his soul.
Breathing stopped, and a feeling of suffocation enveloped me.
Immediately afterwards, intense pain erupted from within, instantly eroding the prey's soul, and consciousness vanished abruptly.
On the battlefield, the fog grew thicker and thicker, and under the cover of night, no one noticed in advance that the fog had turned dark.
That's a symbol of poison.
Using a large amount of Feather Powder as a carrier, [Bone-Deep Rot] spreads through the air, infiltrating the bodies of all living things like a plague.
Over time, the life and death of all living beings that need to breathe become objects of Shisui control.
In just one second, the fog-shrouded area was completely wiped out.
The next moment, numerous magnificent, bright red rhombus-shaped gems appeared on the battlefield.
Shisui floated in the air, looking down at his masterpiece, his Psychic Energy, which had been almost completely drained, was rapidly recovering.
A moment later, having replenished his depleted Psychic Energy through another battlefield, he waved his hand and collected all the Flesh Crystals.
At this moment, the banks of the Spirit Resonance River were shrouded in true silence.
Only the craters and uneven surfaces left by battles in the swirling fog tell of how this place was a battlefield not long ago.
As Shisui reaped lives, a terrifying roar echoed from the seaside.
"I see, so this is how the tsunami in Mao City was handled."
On the Kaiyang Continent, the seawater receded suddenly and mysteriously, revealing the seabed near the shore.
In the distance, a terrifying shadow appeared in the moonlight.
The dark figure moved at an extremely fast speed, and in an instant it approached Kaiyang Continent.
The moment it gets close, its true nature is revealed.
It's a wave.
It's a giant wave!
These were unprecedentedly huge waves, far exceeding the height of the city walls of Yin City!!
The Sea Race along the coast had already moved away from the path of the crashing waves when the loud noise was heard.
The unique and complex magic array emitted a faint light before being swallowed up by the raging tide and completely merged into the ocean.
The giant wave seemed to be affected and rose again.
In the distance, the Sea Race in the ocean began to report on their work.
"The Water-Gathering Formation is operating normally. The first wave is expected to arrive at the city wall of Yin City in five minutes. Please prepare accordingly."
"Receive."
