Although the insect swarm obeys the Insect Emperor, the Insect King is the strongest fighting force. It is worthwhile to spend some time waiting for the Insect King Insect King to recover. Guan Sengping was secretly glad that he had arrived quickly enough. Otherwise, there would have been no chance if the Insect King had recovered. He had seen how powerful this insect was.
The Insect King did not lower its guard in the face of Li Shun's fleet. In the end, there was no trust between the Insect King and Li Shun, and both Li Shun and the Insect King were well aware of this. Although the Insect King did not believe that Li Shun would dare to attack it, it had put its own life first at this moment, because it had almost no power to control energy and space.
A spaceship flew by, its hatch opened, and people dressed in all sorts of clothes were sucked out by the enormous pressure difference. Upon seeing this, the Insect King Insect King opened its maw wide, and tens of thousands of people were sucked into its mouth. Before the low temperature of space could kill them, they would be crushed by the Insect King's huge teeth.
Soon, the Insect King devoured all one million people carried by the first spaceship. The second spaceship continued to fly over and dump more humans. After eating the people, the Insect King was much better off, and the surrounding guard insects seemed to have relaxed their vigilance. They did not notice why each of Li Shun's fleets carried so few people this time, nor did they notice that the warships that had finished dumping the people had not left, but were still hovering above the Insect King.
This time, the Insect King seemed to have an exceptionally large appetite, having consumed over 500 million people without stopping. Meanwhile, the warships around it had quietly covered most of the airspace near its wounds. In order to unload the population more quickly, Guan Sengping ordered two, three, or ten warships to simultaneously unload populations. Some of the population landed directly on the Insect King Insect King, which ate even more enthusiastically, seemingly regaining much of its strength, and its vigilance decreased.
A spaceship flew to the wound closest to the Insect King's brain and began to dump its population. This warship carried a particularly large number of people, with tens of thousands falling directly into the wound. The Insect King paid no attention. With these high-quality foods replenishing its energy, its wound was healing at a visible speed. The few people inside the wound were nothing; they would soon become energy.
The surrounding guardian insects had their view blocked by the warships moving back and forth, making it difficult for them to discover what the fleet was doing. However, even if they did discover something, they dared not disturb the Insect King's feeding.
Finally, the Insect King stopped after consuming more than 2 billion people. Its wound had shrunk by a third and would be fully healed after two more meals. This made the Insect King extremely excited. It had no objection to Guan Sengping's request. Guan Sengping left the remaining warship carrying the population and left with a small flatworm.
The Insect King failed to notice that among the thousands of people left inside its wound, 500 remained unchanged, still in perfect human form, though without any signs of life. Perhaps the Insect King noticed this but assumed it was simply due to the wound.
The insides of these 500 people have been hollowed out and stuffed with various machines. Now they are just humanoid machines, and they also carry ten brains. The Insect King's control is not as good as that of ordinary high-level insects. That's why Li Shun paid such a high price to send 500 human machines into the Insect King's body. The original plan was for these machines to be eaten directly by the Insect King. Although some would be damaged, some would still enter the insect's body intact.
Li Shun initially planned to use mechanical bodies from the Mechanical Civilization for this task. However, Wei Kaiyuan reminded Li Shun that mechanical bodies have Consciousness Field, and if they are not dead inside the insect's body, they will be discovered immediately. While intelligent machines also have a chance of being discovered, the chances are at least greater. Therefore, Li Shun used highly intelligent machines instead.
When Guan Sengping saw the large hole in the Insect King's body, he immediately had a better idea. All 500 humanoid machines entered the insect's body without missing a single one. This gave him a greater chance of controlling the Insect King. The insect's digestive organs could directly break down matter into the most basic particle state to obtain energy. That's why Li Shun had prepared so many machines. But now, it was all good; these machines were no longer inside the digestive organs.
Guan Sengping left the Insect King, he couldn't wait to perform a brain transplant on the small flatworm he had exchanged for. Although the small flatworm didn't know why, it dared not disobey the Insect King's order. In addition, it didn't care that it had only put a tiny thing into its mouth. By the time it realized what was happening, it was too late. Li Shun's consciousness had replaced its own.
Next, Guan Sengping began to have small robots explore the interior of the flatworms. These small flatworms should have the same structure as the Insect King. The shortest and safest path must be found to reach the Insect King's brain for transplantation surgery. Once the Insect King reacts, there are many ways to eliminate the foreign object inside its body. At the same time, the Insect King's brain must be analyzed. The Insect King's Consciousness Field is very strong, and it is difficult for the public's brain to control it.
Time was of the essence; every second that passed increased the chances of being discovered by the insect. Guan Sengping kept urging the scientists on, who were all working up a sweat. Time ticked by, and two hours later, the scientists finally planned out five of the safest paths through the insect's body, which stretched for thousands of kilometers. These five paths would allow the machine to reach the depths of the insect's brain without attracting its attention.
For Insect King spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, a few humanoid objects are inherently difficult to detect. When shrunk to human proportions, they would be like a foreign object ten thousand times thinner than a hair entering the human body. However, large is still large, and even with the issue of proportion, large objects are still easier to detect.
Guan Sengping immediately issued commands through the warships surrounding the Insect King, while simultaneously entering the fourth dimension at high speed to escape from this place. Whether it succeeded or failed was no longer his concern.
Suddenly, the Insect King, who was resting after a full meal, became agitated. It became extremely angry because two of the advancing machines had been discovered. The Insect King had just recovered a little, and if it entered the fourth dimension now, it could easily solve its internal problems. However, all the energy it had just gained had been used to repair its wounds, and it had no energy left to enter the fourth dimension.
It even had difficulty controlling itself. Although it clearly sensed that the machinery inside its body was moving at high speed, it was powerless against it. After a while of rage, the Insect King finally calmed down. It summoned a guardian insect, which climbed onto the Insect King's back. A sharp spike broke off and stabbed directly at the Insect King. Without the protection of energy, the Insect King was pierced through, but the machinery was also destroyed by the powerful impact.
