Yu An: Insectoids Must Die!

Meanwhile.

Old Man Yu hid in the root space, holding his breath, pressing his ear against the tree wall to listen to the sounds outside.

Just now, he wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he vaguely thought he heard the calls of insectoids.

But afterward, no matter how hard he listened, he didn't hear any more sounds.

So he wondered if he had misheard.

Compared to him, Yu An 'heard' more clearly.

As a tree, although he didn't have organs like eyes or ears, perhaps due to his soul, Yu An could both hear and see.

His hearing and sight even far surpassed ordinary people.

Therefore, the moment the insectoids landed at Tiezhu's house and let out their first screech, he had already heard it, as well as the roar of that Wolf Bear.

For some reason, when he heard the insectoids' screech, he felt a sense of facing a natural enemy.

And at this moment, he made a certain decision.

Insectoids must die!

At the same time, Yu An also felt a sense of urgency.

He had to seize the time to grow to Juvenile Stage Three.

In addition, he also planned to support the Yu family.

Because he was a tree that couldn't move, his territory was here. Even if he grew to stage three, he would still feel powerless against the insectoids that appeared with the Black Annihilation Wind Disaster every year.

He could kill one, ten, or a hundred insectoids, but could he kill them when they swarmed like the sky?

The combination of heaven and earth spirit roots with humans to form a Blessed Land was undoubtedly a perfect symbiotic relationship.

The Spiritual Root provided shelter, and the humans living in the Blessed Land would defend it against insectoids.

This model had been operating in this world for three thousand years.

Yu An didn't intend to be unconventional. The key was that he didn't have the ability to do so now.

Even with his confidence, he couldn't guarantee he could evolve to the level of heaven and earth spirit roots in a short time. By then, it would be too late to choose a family to protect.

Especially since he was at his weakest and most dangerous period before becoming a heaven and earth spirit root.

Furthermore, compared to an unfamiliar Foundation Establishment family, wouldn't it be more reassuring to nurture his own?

Initially, it would take him ten years, or consume equivalent lifespan, to sprout a Natal Elm Seed, which he would be reluctant to do.

And at that time, he hadn't experienced the Black Annihilation Wind Disaster, nor had he seen insectoids, so his thoughts were different.

But now, he knew he had underestimated the threat of insectoids. These things were like natural enemies to him.

Besides, with the enhancement of his life essence, he now only needed five years, or to consume five years of lifespan, to sprout a Natal Elm Seed, which was an Immortal Destiny.

For his three hundred years of lifespan, it wasn't much.

Even if the Black Annihilation Wind Disaster took some of his lifespan, he could still afford to 'squander' it.

Moreover, once he grew to stage three, his lifespan would definitely surge. Five hundred years? Eight hundred years?

Or even a thousand years?

By then, the time it took for him to sprout an Immortal Destiny would be even shorter, and the lifespan consumed would be less.

Therefore, he could let Yu Dashan break through to the Qi Refining Realm first. With his strength in the Qi Refining Realm, he could earn resources for Yu An's growth, which would be more efficient.

Then, he could slowly sprout Immortal Destinies and continue to cultivate the Yu family's Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

Unless there were special circumstances, he should try not to consume lifespan to sprout Immortal Destinies.

This way, a perfect cycle would be formed.

The faster the Yu family developed and the more resources they provided him, the sooner he could evolve into a heaven and earth spirit root and pass through the most dangerous period of his life.

As for investment, there was no such thing as not putting in some capital.

Of course, this was his plan for the future. As for the present, he had to get through this tribulation of insectoids first.

At this moment, Yu An vaguely heard another roar, as if some fierce beast was rampaging in the Settlement, destroying everything.

"What's going on? Insectoids? Or the injured wild beast that Tiezhu mentioned before?"

Yu An's heart tightened. Although he could see far, he didn't have celestial eyes.

He was currently in a small room and couldn't see anything, only hear.

Judging solely from the sounds, there must have been some change in the Settlement, and it was a bad one.

Then, Yu An decisively focused his attention on the root space.

Old Man Yu had also vaguely heard some movement. Before he could understand what was happening, his trouser leg tightened. He looked down and saw a thin root entwined around his pant leg.

"Little tree?"

Old Man Yu was a little surprised.

Wasn't it asleep already?

Why did it pop out again?

And what does it want now, trying to eat Spirit Stones again?

"Little Tree, the insectoids are coming soon, I can't feed you Spirit Stones right now."

Old Man Yu said firmly.

Previously, his soft heart had almost led to a disaster.

At that time, he had told himself that he must be strict from now on and no longer be soft-hearted.

What he didn't expect was that the slender root didn't wrap around him, but instead burrowed straight towards the small box he kept in the corner.

"No."

Old Man Yu knew that the Spirit Stones were in that small box, and immediately stepped forward to hug the small box.

He had already decided that no matter how the Little Tree 'begged', he would not give it any more Spirit Stones.

Yu An was also a bit depressed at the moment. Why did Old Man Yu put the Spirit Stones and the Corpse Stench Devil Plant juice together?

What's more, he could only control the slender root to a limited extent right now, far from being able to wield it like an arm. Otherwise, Old Man Yu would have no room to resist within his root space.

Suddenly, Yu An felt a greater crisis rapidly approaching, and he understood. The insectoids, or rather, more insectoids, had arrived.

With so many insectoids, even if everyone in the Settlement charged forward together, it would be useless, because most of the people left in the Settlement were ordinary people.

And there were only two who had reached Fetal Movement Major Accomplishment.

To avoid being discovered by the insectoids, the Corpse Stench Devil Plant juice had to be used now.

Just as Yu An was getting anxious and wanted to draw more life force to forcibly control the root to snatch it, a louder screech pierced through the thick cellar and the root space, reaching Old Man Yu's ears.

"In-insectoids?"

Hearing the screech, Old Man Yu's eyes snapped open. He finally confirmed that the faint sounds he had been hearing earlier were not his imagination.

The insectoids had really come.

At the same time, he could feel the anxious emotions transmitted by the slender root in front of him, which made his heart stir.

"You want the Corpse Stench Devil Plant juice?"

Old Man Yu immediately opened the small box and took out the bottle of Corpse Stench Devil Plant juice.

Then he watched as the slender root quickly wrapped around the small bottle containing the Corpse Stench Devil Plant juice, and finally confirmed.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll go out now and smear the juice on your tree body."

Even though the insectoids had arrived and danger was imminent, Old Man Yu clearly couldn't care about anything else for the sake of the Little Tree's safety.

Immediately, holding the small bottle, he intended to leave the root space and go out of the cellar.

However, as soon as he moved, he felt his trouser leg being tightened again, pulled by the root.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Old Man Yu grinned.

Hearing his words, Yu An really wanted to use his roots to wake him up.

He was a tree, a tree, not a person.

Then, he began to draw life force from the Return and Hide seed, reviving to a limited extent.

The root space immediately seemed to riot, and a rich life force spread out. Then, under Old Man Yu's shocked gaze, a root that looked significantly different directly shot towards the small bottle of Corpse Stench Devil Plant juice in his hand.
