Chapter 317: Chapter 303 The Insect Pet (Part 1)_1

Upon hearing the term "Insect Lord", Emma Scott’s face drastically changed with shock. He swiftly positioned himself between Owen Bertram and Sherry, shouting, "Protect Lord Algernon!"

Whooosh--

A melancholy, filthy wind swept over them. Everyone present could smell a nauseating stench making their heads spin!

The floral cotton coat on Sherry disintegrated into a rain of butterflies, revealing her shriveled upper body. On her back, something was slithering quickly under her skin along her spine, and then with a ’pop,’ it broke through from behind her head, sliding out.

It was a peculiar insect, looking like a black silkworm. The moment it landed on the ground, the surrounding grass and leaves were corroded into a puddle of black liquid with a "sizzle". The creature grew in the wind, ballooning to a size of several tens of feet instantly. It unfolded dozens of long, sharp insect feet from underneath its body, opening its mouth wide. A swarm of swaying insect antennae extended from its mouth, eagerly seeking something living to penetrate.

These antennae seemingly grew infinitely, constantly spreading out around it!

A wave of nauseating poisonous gas was emitted, forming a cloud of poison enveloping a hundred feet around the strange insect.

At the same time, seven odd insect-like eyes lit up on its back. A dim yellow light was emitted from these eyes that shone on Emma Scott, causing his face to turn pitch black before he fell on the ground with a thud.

"Hahaha!" Sherry burst out laughing. She urged the Insect Lord to charge towards Owen Bertram, "Once I catch you, the officer, I can exchange you for the lives of my entire Scott Clan!"

Four cultivators from the Scott Family immediately said to Owen Bertram, "My lord, this Insect Lord has been raised from a larvae using insect-raising methods, before being grown using cultivation techniques."

"It carries with it extraordinary poison, and is impervious to swords and guns. It is the strongest weapon of our Scott Family."

"In the whole Scott Family, we only have two, and the Clan Leader gave one to Sherry, presumably to fight for the Spiritual Treasure Embryo!"

"My lord, please leave quickly, it cannot be resisted."

"We will sacrifice ourselves to block the Insect Lord, only asking the lord to take care of our families..."

Anyone who was not a staunch loyalist like Sherry, would not find it difficult to choose sides at this moment. Even if Sherry’s plan were successful, and she captured Owen Bertram, in exchange for the lives of the Scott Clan, from henceforth, the Scott Clan would be wanted by the Wood Dynasty.

An escaped clan trying to fight a dynasty would be as futile as daydreaming. It would only be a matter of time before their capture, hence the four cultivators were willing to exchange their own lives for the safety of their families.

However, their panic did not affect Owen Bertram in the slightest. He still stood with his hands behind his back and shouted, "What are you panicking about?"

Owen Bertram pulled out a Spiritual Pill from his sleeve and handed it to the female cultivator, "Feed this to Emma Scott."

The cultivators became frantic, "My lord, this is not the time for sentiment..."

Owen Bertram was speechless.

At this moment, the members of the Lioyd Sect also rushed over, "My lord, quickly escape, we’ll hold them off. Voila! Look at our large Mechanical Weapons!"

The people from the Lioyd Sect were indeed agitated. They hadn’t yet mastered the essence of Mechanical Techniques, and Lord Algernon couldn’t die at this crucial moment.

All these people swarmed over, each releasing their massive Mechanical Weapons. Whether it was a five-meter-tall Mechanical Puppet, or a ten-meter-long Mechanical Beast, or a massive Mechanical War Chariot, they created a bustling scene. Although they couldn’t beat the Insect Lord, they could at least buy some time for Lord Algernon.

"You bunch of morons!" Owen Bertram roared, "All get out of the way!"

You are obstructing my way to deal with matters.What’s so scary about bugs? I am particularly fond of them.

Owen Bertram extended his arms, soared into the sky over the crowd, his hand flashing with a jade-like light and he chopped downward from the air!

"Snap!"

This palm was light and slow, stylish but seemingly harmless, yet inconceivably landed on the forehead of the Insect Lord.

The giant creature, as if relaxing all of its antennae, closing its seven eyes, retracting its front limbs, made every possible effort to expose itself, allowing Lord Algernon to strike it easily.

The jade-like light instantly enveloped the whole body of the Insect Lord, which then emitted a babylike cry, then, with a thud, knelt before Owen Bertram.

The venue fell silent for a moment, those voices anxiously warning the lord to be careful, were all stuck in their throats.

Owen Bertram retreated, hovering in mid-air, dusting his sleeves, adjusting his clothes, nodding in satisfaction towards the Insect Lord, "Well-behaved."

A large group of people ready to sacrifice their lives for Lord Algernon: "This..."

Sherry had been chuckling all the way over; even against Lioyd Sect’s Cliff-Climbing Mechanical Beast, she had faith that the Insect Lord wouldn’t be defeated.

If Owen Bertram’s "Mechanical Puppet" had made a move, Sherry would have charged forward to offer temporary resistance, letting the Insect Lord continue to pursue Owen Bertram.

But to her surprise, the Insect Lord that she had kept as a last resort was subdued by a single palm of Owen Bertram, and was crawling obediently at his feet!

She quickly took out a golden bell, began shaking it vigorously and chanting!

The Insect Lord immediately seemed to be in extreme pain, driven by the controlling magical bell, but it dared not attack Owen Bertram. Seeing it unmoving, Sherry shook the bell even more violently, the bell sound from clear to shrill, the Insect Lord finally couldn’t stand it anymore, let out a sharp long scream, then turned around and swallowed Sherry whole!

Crunch, crunch-

The Insect Lord chewed forcefully twice before swallowing.

Sherry’s body carried many poisonous insects that she had nurtured, and the Insect Lord, whose diet consisted of various kinds of poisonous insects, found the taste very nice.

The Scott Clan and the people from Lioyd Sect were stunned, Owen Bertram also didn’t expect this outcome, he clapped his hands: "That saves some trouble."

But... what should be done with this Insect Lord?

Emma Scott was still unconscious, even if she were awake, she wouldn’t know what to do; after all, she was just a pretend lady and knew little about the core secret techniques of the Scott Clan. The only remaining female cultivator stepped forward: "Sir, the Insect Lord is usually kept in the Nine Rings Urn Well of the Scott Clan’s fortress. Apart from the clan leader who has a secret technique to control it, anyone who dispatches the Insect Lord must use a body of a clansman from the Fourth Great Realm as a vessel, feeding it with their own blood essence to suppress its ferocity..."

At this point, the female cultivator was at a loss for words. Ferocity? Where is the ferocity? Look at how well-behaved it is at the lord’s feet, how could you accuse it of being vicious?

But all inhabitants of the Scott Clan had heard the fearful roar of the Insect Lord beneath the Nine Rings Urn Well...

She silently turned around, picked up the Detoxifying Elixir that the lord had discarded on the ground earlier, and fed it to Emma Scott. I’m not sure what’s happening anymore, sir. You’ll have to sort this out yourself.

As soon as the Detoxifying Elixir was fed, the dark aura on Emma Scott’s face faded away in the blink of an eye, and then she opened her eyes.

The female cultivator was once again privately shocked. The poison from the Insect Lord required specifically concocted antidotes in their home, yet a pill that the lord casually took out was so effective.
