Mad God Evolution
Chapter 705 - 705 0672_1

705: Chapter 0672_1 705: Chapter 0672_1 “Master, this is a very powerful big guy.

He is one of the two bug marshals under my king.

I…

I am no match for him.” The slightly frightened voice of the subordinate [echo bug] echoed in Lv Zhong’s mind.

The number of [echo bug] clans may be small, but beneath one king, there are also two marshals, four generals.

The [echo bug] which was subdued by Lv Zhong into servitude was one of the four bug generals.

However, this bug general had no idea of struggling in front of this [bug marshal], all he had was awe and respect.

Bug Marshal?

Lv Zhong nodded secretly.

The strength of this bug marshal in front of him was more than ten times stronger than the bug general he had refined.

He could easily tackle an Independent Immortal of the first or second calamity.

Although he had thought of the whole [echo bug] clan as his subordinates, Lv Zhong didn’t want to scare the snake in the grass at this time.

After all, he was in the habitat of the [echo bugs].

If he accidentally alarmed the king-level [echo bug] while trying to subdue this bug marshal, it would be bad.

Suppressing the idea of taking action, Lv Zhong quietly observed inside the [Great Annihilation Pearl].

“Little Four, why are you back?

Did you kill the giant dragon?” The bug marshal looked at Lv Zhong’s fourth bug general with authoritative eyes and began to inquire.

The fourth bug general nodded continuously, “Reply to the general, I have already hunted down a giant dragon and rushed back quickly…”

This fourth bug general indeed had killed the giant dragon, two of them in fact.

However, when hunting off two giant dragons, it had harbored selfish intentions, planning to devour their brain juice.

But when it was about to devour the last brain juice, Lv Zhong subjugated it and managed to preserve most of the brain juice of one dragon corpse.

“Only one?”

The bug marshal in front of him stared coldly at the fourth bug general, and asked lightly.

His uppermost majesty released from his own body.

“Um…

um…” The fourth bug general nodded continuously.

This guy was essentially incapable of telling lies, and even if he attempted to lie, he couldn’t deceive the bug marshal who ranked above him.

However, under Lv Zhong’s control, he could only flatly deny the events.

Moreover, due to Lv Zhong’s soul brand influence, the bug marshal in front of them could not sense the lie this guy was offering.

The bug marshal didn’t notice that the little bug general in front of him had already betrayed, and ordered lightly, “Since you have hunted down the giant dragon, quickly deliver it to the little prince.”

Instinctively nodding and saluting, Lv Zhong’s controlled bug general hurried to the newly-born bug king’s side.

“Strange, I can clearly sense that Little Four is a bit weird, but I can’t exactly say what the weirdness is …” Watching the fourth bug general leave, the bug marshal had a glint of uncertainty in his eyes.

However, he didn’t exactly find out what was wrong with the fourth bug general.

He just thought that the fourth bug general had just returned from the outside, and brought back a trace of aura that was different from the [Echo Valley].

Through the connection with the fourth bug general’s soul, Lv Zhong was able to “see” everything around him.

“That bug marshal’s senses are really sharp!”

Even such a capable bug marshal had careful senses, which made Lv Zhong even more cautious.

In the subsequent period, he didn’t communicate with the fourth bug general at all, but just observed everything through the latter’s eyes.

The valley is filled with numerous underground caves.

About every fifteen minutes or so, an astonishing [Ghost Prison Cold Wind] would blow out from these caves.

As soon as this wave of ghost prison cold wind passed, a small wave of [Soul Transforming Divine Wind] would appear immediately.

On the whole, the ghost prison cold wind and soul transforming divine wind would last for about ten minutes.

In the remaining five minutes, there would be a kind of miraculous energy gushing out from each cave.

This energy is what the [Echo Bugs] like to absorb the most.

It could make the soul of the [Echo Bugs] very powerful while strengthening the vocal cords of the [Echo Bugs], helping them comprehend the law of sounds faster.

The space in the valley is vast.

Along the way, three or two [Echo Bugs] appeared.

However, these were all small [echo bugs] with weak strength.

Such small [Echo Bugs], Lv Zhong could easily collect into the [Great Annihilation Pearl].

But Lv Zhong did not take any action.

For Lv Zhong, the best way to control the [Echo Bugs] was to control their king!

Of course, if his strength wasn’t enough to subdue the old bug king, it was certainly nice to take the newly-born yet immature [bug king].

Without moving any single [Echo Bug], Lv Zhong let the fourth bug general rush to the place where the little [Echo Bug] prince stayed.

Firstly, collect a [bug king] for insurance, then gradually plan against the old bug king!

The echo bugs did not inhabit those caves where the [Ghost Prison Cold Wind] and [Soul Transforming Divine Wind] emerged.

They were careful to avoid these two kinds of cold winds, even though they lived in the valley all the time.

The caves inhabited by the [echo bugs] were also in the mountainside, and there were many cave residences dug by the [echo bugs] themselves.

The Fourth Insect General did not return to its own lair.

Instead, it flew towards the nest of the newborn [King Bug] spawned by the real [Bug King].

Compared to the outside, this secret cave is much drier and contains multiple glimmering crystal stones and ores.

However, Lv Zhong is now quite frustrated.

The preferences of these [Echo Bugs] are somewhat unique.

Their nest is mostly filled with quartz, which is the same as the so-called crystal in legends, and not of much value.

It is useless to cultivators.

What Lv Zhong could find valuable wasn’t top-notch equipment or ores either.

This contrasts too greatly with the lair of the [Misfortune Insect] from which Lv Zhong had harvested over twenty varieties of top-grade materials in the underground cave of Misfortune Valley, including Mysterious Yin-Yang Jade, Black Radiant Sky Stone, and Golden Soul Divine Sand.

“Well, if there’s no top-notch equipment, then I’ll just exterminate all of you [Echo Bugs]…” Lv Zhong muttered to himself in the Great Annihilation Pearl.

In his heart, these Alien Insects hold higher importance than top-tier equipment and medicinal herbs.

The cave of the Bug King’s spawn isn’t too deep.

After Lv Zhong’s Fourth Insect General sneaked in for a few dozen meters, the cave suddenly brightened.

A massive area over a hundred meters long and more than fifty meters high was “within sight” of Lv Zhong.

And at the deepest part of the cave, an [Echo Bug] the size of an adult’s fist was floating mid-air.

This [Echo Bug] was much smaller than the Fourth Insect General controlled by Lv Zhong.

It even had a small protrusion about two centimeters long on its head, looking like a horn.

This horn had colorful hues and was quite beautiful.

Similarly, its centipede-like body was also distinct from other [Echo Bugs].

The bodies of most [Echo Bugs] were mostly black, but this one was a light-gold despite its small size.

Ignoring the entrance of the Fourth Insect General, this light-gold [Echo Bug] gazed down from above.

Lying motionless on the ground, below was a lion-like alien beast.

However, it was much larger compared to Earth’s lions.

It was a giant beast over thirty meters long and more than two meters tall!

Sadly, this lion-like alien beast no longer had any signs of life, with its vitality appearing remarkably horrifying.

Judging by the strength of the body alone, it was barely any weaker than any of the giant dragons that the Fourth Insect General had previously annihilated.

“Flame Blood Mad Lion?

It’s also a beast that specializes in sound attacks…” Through the memories of the [Echo Bug], Lv Zhong was able to identify this alien beast.

“Buzz..”

That fist-sized [Echo Bug] emitted a peculiar chime-like sound.

Although the sound wasn’t too loud, it felt like something had exploded in the head of the underground Flame Blood Mad Lion.

A load of fresh blood mixed with white brainmatter oozed from the seven orifices of the Mad Lion.

“Hissss…”

As the light-gold [Echo Bug] opened its tiny mouth, a powerful devouring force acted on the fresh blood and brainmatter.

Instantly, the blood automatically separated, and the brain matter was sucked into the mouth of the golden [Echo Bug] as if it was a whale drawing in water.

As it devoured a vast amount of brain matter, its body seemed to grow a little bigger.

Its light gold body even thickened a bit.

Even the horn-like protrusion on its head seemed to have grown by about 0.5 centimeters in an instant.

This creature is the newly born “King Bug” of the [Echo Bugs].

About five minutes later, the bug king larva had completely absorbed the brain matter energy of the [Flame Blood Mad Lion].

It glanced at the Fourth Insect General and joyfully asked, “Bug Four, what alien beast did you bring back for the young king?”

“Replying to the young prince, I brought back a giant dragon, slightly better than this [Flame Blood Mad Lion]…” With Lv Zhong’s guidance, the Fourth Insect General quickly replied.

The Bug Prince was suddenly overjoyed.

Its light gold glow flickered with excitement, “That’s great!

After absorbing the brainmatter of another giant dragon, my strength won’t be inferior to the other Bug Generals.

Quickly, hand the dragon over to me…”

“Yes, sir!” Without any slight hesitation, the Fourth Insect General agreed.

Lv Zhong immediately summoned the blue giant dragon, whose brain matter had not yet been devoured by the Fourth Insect General, to his location.

In an instant, a blue giant dragon over fifty or sixty meters long appeared within the cave.

“Bug Four, please take the corpse of the Flame Blood Mad Lion out.

Don’t disturb my cultivation…” Seeing the dragon appear, the Echo Bug spawn was pleasantly surprised and quickly instructed the Fourth Insect General.

“Yes!”

Without hesitation, the Fourth Insect General flashed above the [Flame Blood Mad Lion], moved the giant beast’s corpse into the space of the Great Annihilation Pearl with a thought, and flew towards the cave’s entrance.

The [Echo Bug] spawn did not notice the tiny speck of dust falling.

Excited, it flew onto the dragon’s head, preparing once again to absorb the dragon’s brain matter.

But in an instant, an unparalleled spatial energy locked onto it.

It abruptly felt dizzy and lost consciousness.

As the newly born king of the [Echo Bugs], it had a high starting point.

Moreover, being nurtured by the powerful individuals of the entire group, it evolved very rapidly.

However, what didn’t match up with its evolution level and speed was its extremely lacking combat awareness.

Further, it did not cultivate a strong crisis awareness.

Furthermore, it had never imagined that its nest, belonging to the [Echo Bugs], could also be insecure.

Without any ability to resist, it was knocked unconscious.
