At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive.

"Silk!"

After obtaining Han Ning's consent, the Vientiane Silkworm shot out a tentacle, tied the limbs, and pulled it closer.

Then a large piece of flesh and blood expanded, covering the joints and limbs.

A minute later, the pair of jointed limbs that were as big as human thighs completely disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a cloud of black smoke suddenly appeared in the open space.

A small and exquisite ant, made entirely of black and purple flesh, appeared on the messy pile of rocks.

"Ancestral Ant - Yuanyue Rock Ant?" Han Ning recalled the description of the five ancestor families by the cyan insect master.

"The Vientiane Spiritual Silkworm can actually simulate the bloodline of the ancestor family?!"

Han Ning stopped where he was, sensing the information sent back by the Vientiane Silkworm.

It turns out that this is not a pure Yuanyue rock ant, but a short-lived species mixed with the blood of the former. The specific name is unknown for the time being. Han Ning calls it the rock-breaking ant.

The Wanxiang Spirit Silkworm obtained a non-offensive soul skill from the Rock Breaker Ant, called 'Drilling the Ground'.

They can move in and out of hard rocky ground as easily as they possess Earth Escape. Of course, traveling between rocks requires continuous consumption of psychic energy.

This is a puppet, and it naturally consumes the blood and spiritual energy of the All-Seeing Silkworm.

"Since the All-Seeing Silkworm can simulate a soul beast with the blood of the ancestor, then..."

Han Ning looked at the insect remains scattered around.

…

After a while, he placed four different insect limbs on the ground.

A pair of butterfly tentacles, a beetle-like armor, a spike from the tail of a bee, and a broken forelimb of a praying mantis.

Han Ning stretched out his hands, and dense tentacles shot out from his arms, wrapping all four of them.

Hisssssss~

Black smoke rose.

Around him, four kinds of insects with different shapes slowly appeared.

Han Ning named them respectively: Storm Butterfly, Blue Light Beetle, Purple Ghost Bee, and Broken Gold Mantis.

There are a total of 5 types of insects, all of which are ancestral insects with the bloodline of "Spiking Sky Butterfly, Yuan Yue Rock Ant, River Basin Broken Gold Mantis, Blue God Armor, and Ghost Purple Bee".

Although it is a low-end version, it already has extraordinary abilities that are certainly different from other insects.

The Storm Butterfly is huge, with a pair of wings alone exceeding 8 meters. Surrounded by breeze, its awakened soul skill is Scale Powder Storm, which can release a powder storm containing a hypnotic aura. Not only can it hypnotize the enemy when attacking, it is also very fast. The storm can also tear enemies into pieces.

The most eye-catching thing about the blue beetle is the large carapace on the back that shines with purple light. The genuine carapace should be flashing with cyan light.

The awakened soul skill of the replica version is a power blast, wielding a fist that shatters everything with super power.

The Purple You Bee is a small bee the size of a head, with black smoke lingering around its body. The awakened soul skill is called Shining Sting, which turns out to be a soul skill that prefers spiritual attack.

They can turn their mental power into poisonous stings, pierce into the enemy's brain, and produce terrifying toxins that make the soul tremble.

The last Soul Skill awakened by Broken Gold Mantis is called High Frequency Heat Blade. The metal-like forelimbs vibrate at a high speed at a frequency that is invisible to the naked eye, generating high heat. It also has the sharp property of metal and can easily break through the armor of earth-type soul beasts. .

Just looking at the soul skills, they seem to be similar to ordinary soul beasts, but each insect with the blood of the ancestor has an ability similar to talent, but because it is a short-lived species, the talent is also weakened.

When the Storm Butterfly is seriously injured, it can pupate itself, burn its vitality to the maximum extent, and regain 100% combat effectiveness.

The more damage the green light beetle receives, its strength will gradually increase, and finally when it is on the verge of death, its strength will reach its limit.

The Ziyou Bee's talent is the simplest. Like mimicry, it is invisibility. Not only is it optical invisibility, but it can also hide psychic energy fluctuations.

The talent of Broken Gold Mantis is called Sacrifice. It turns all the metal-like body into metal particles, condenses them on the forelimbs, consumes all the life, and delivers the ultimate blow.

The Yuanyue Rock Ant can make the objects it touches heavier or lighter within its reach, which is called gravity conversion.

From the five reproduced subspecies of blood, Han Ning could vaguely determine the areas in which the five ancestral families were good at.

This is also very important information.

After evolving into a new form and breaking through to the extraordinary level, the Vientiane Silkworm can preserve the simulated imprint for at least 3 months.

Simulating five forms of insects at the same time, the Vientiane Silkworm consumed nearly two-thirds of its blood. Fortunately, the Jinyan Yaoyan Dragon had enough flesh and blood, and Han Ning once again fed it to its full capacity.

"Go around again and see if there's any remnants of the fire."

Han Ning asked Yin Yi to wrap the flesh and blood of Jin Yan Yao Rock Dragon tightly to prevent any smell from leaking out. He was about to call the spirit beasts to take a look nearby.

Under the dark sky, there was suddenly a faint sound of breaking through the air.

Han Ning's expression became solemn, and he and the spirit beasts quickly hid behind a hidden rock and looked in the direction of the sound.

Ten seconds later...

Three orange-red fireflies, more than one meter tall, entered his field of vision from the southwest.

The tails of these three fireflies emit bright orange-red light, illuminating areas below. Each has a small infrared thermal imaging camera tied to its head.

"It's the flying firefly of the academy!"

If it was an ordinary flying firefly, it might not be someone from the academy.

But the moment he saw the camera, Han Ning's face lit up. As expected, everyone in the academy did not give up on him. They actually risked being discovered by the insect master and sent Feiyan Liuying to investigate the situation.

He asked the egg pie to exit the mimicry and waved his hands toward the area captured by the camera.

The Flying Firefly was obviously working according to a pre-trained command. Facing Han Ning's wave, it flew past like a robot insect, then circled in mid-air and returned to the direction it came from.

Han Ning didn't take it seriously and stood there waiting quietly.

After a while, there were waves of footsteps coming from the ground in the southwest.

There were hundreds of figures, as well as dense swarms of dryads, tree demons, and insects, walking towards him through the white mist.

"Han Ning!"

The moment the leader, Lu Xiuning, saw Han Ning, he couldn't help but scream and ran over as hard as he could.

He ran to Han Ning and looked at Han Ning who was not injured. He showed a happy smile on his face, patted the latter's shoulder heavily, and kept muttering in his mouth: "Okay, okay, it's okay!"

Behind Lu Xiuning were Teacher Zheng, Teacher Zhou, Teacher Fang... Lin Tianhe, Chen Linyu, including Lina and Niya, all came together.

Han Ning was moved, raised her hand, and motioned for everyone to come closer quickly.

"It's very dangerous here. It's not a place for chatting. We'll talk about it in detail when we get back. Let's first send out our own soul beasts as much as possible to search for items suspected to be left behind by the bug-men."

Considering that the Burning Man might have left some pockets or daily necessities nearby, Han Ning did not ask everyone to go back immediately, but began to look for Burning's remains nearby.

As he said that, he asked the Vientiane Spirit Silkworm to simulate four invisible purple wasps, fly into the sky, and scatter them in the southeast and northwest directions of the sky to monitor other insect-men that might appear in various directions.

The Five Ancestors and the Burning Fire Clan made such a big noise. It is impossible for the Chongshi Family living nearby not to notice it. They are probably still waiting and watching. They are not stupid either. They know that after the fierce battle, there may be other gains here.

The limit range of the Vientiane Silkworm's control of the puppet is 100 kilometers. Any further away, and it cannot sense the puppet's position.

The remaining four transformed into rock-breaking ants and spread out to search for them.

After cooperating with each other many times, Lu Xiuning didn't say much, just nodded and let some soul beasts protect humans, while another group of soul beasts wandered among the rocks, looking for things left by the Burning Fire Clan.

"Lena, Niya, why are you here too?" After giving instructions and waiting for the soul beasts to return, everyone could finally have a little chat.

Lena looked at the broken scene around her and replied: "Within three days of your departure, we established two transfer stations in the north of the college and tried to contact you."

"Then...you heard the insect man's voice?" Han Ning had a strange expression.

"There weren't any at first, there were just some messy busy signals. On the fourth day, we heard the chatter of bugs coming from the communication device, and the student responsible for monitoring found me immediately."

"Through translating the insect language and communicating with Niya, we learned that this is a group of insect people called Burning Fire, and they seem to be planning something."

Lu Xiuning took over the conversation and said with a serious expression:

"At this time, we realized that you might have encountered difficulties. Dean Wu quickly organized a meeting with teachers and classmates in the college, and immediately sent out an exploration team to move forward and explore in the direction you left."

"Our people explored the outskirts of the Shivering Forest for a few days, and then accidentally encountered a volcanic eruption and had to retreat."

"Then, I saw endless magma spewing into the sky, and dense scarlet pupils spread all over the northern sky. Many people fell into temporary blindness because of looking directly into the scarlet pupils..."

"Are there any casualties?" Han Ning asked with concern.

"Fortunately, we evacuated quickly. No one died, and some people suffered eye injuries. The place you went to is different from the outside of the academy. It is too dangerous there. We dare not go too deep, so we can only observe in some relatively safe places."

"It's a shame I didn't come." Han Ning let out a long breath, "otherwise, a few people would have died if they came."

Taking advantage of the break in collecting items, Han Ning briefly told everyone about his experiences over the past few days.

The Burning Fire Tribe, the Golden Yan Yao Rock Dragon, the five ancestral families...these words made everyone's expressions become extremely exciting.

"Good guy, you are in a desperate situation. Fortunately, there are all kinds of spiritual silkworms... You are worthy of being called the sixth ancestor." Lin Tianhe listened to Han Ning's experience as if he were listening to a novel. Can't help but sigh.

In fact, Han Ning still had many questions that he wanted to discuss with Niya, but because it was more dangerous here, he planned to talk in detail after he returned.

About half an hour later... the puppet bee located nearly 100 kilometers to the east sent a dangerous message to Han Ning.

There is a swarm of insects that are as scarlet as blood and are rapidly approaching here.

"Let's go, we should go. There are insect men coming here already." Han Ning called to stop the people and soul beasts who were searching.

…

Under the warning of Ziyou Bee, everyone sat on the soul beast, took various collected items, and left the rocky area in advance without any danger.

Han Ning sat on Egg Pan's back and looked back from time to time.

The farther away you are, the clearer the scene behind you is.

The trembling peak of the original situation completely disappeared, the messy boulders were piled up to a height of hundreds of meters, and the scope of the battle reached a radius of nearly a hundred kilometers.

After running about 130 kilometers, green vegetation gradually appeared nearby, but there were still large areas of vegetation burned by sporadic flints.

300 kilometers later, thick volcanic ash was still floating in the sky.

Until they returned to the academy, the volcanic ash in the sky still did not decrease. A thick layer gathered in the sky, making the originally dark sky even more gloomy.

From time to time, completely carbonized debris falls from the sky like snowflakes.

A thin layer of gray volcanic ash accumulated throughout the entire swamp, including the academy.

Han Ning calculated that almost 8 or 9 days had passed since he left the academy.

The scene in the academy was very different from when he set out.

One after another, insect nests separated by wooden fences appeared in the area around the dormitory area.

In twos and threes, the small silver damselfly fluttered among the asphalt roads of the college, like a guard fulfilling his duty.

"In 8 days, the first batch of blue-ringed bees and glittering damselflies hatched?" Looking at this vibrant scene, Han Ning couldn't help but ask Lu Xiuning beside him.

"Insects grow very fast. With Niya's help, the first batch of insects has basically hatched and is undergoing our training." Lu Xiuning said with a smile.

The brightly lit college conference room.

After statistics, everyone collected a total of 36 insect pockets and some less important daily necessities.

Although Han Ning is currently thinking about the evolution of egg cakes, in order to reassure his companions in the academy and inform them of some important information, he had to choose to temporarily rest in the academy for one night and transfer all the information he had learned in the past 8 days. The encounter was told in more detail to Dean Wu, teachers and classmates.

After Han Ning finished speaking, Liena immediately spoke: "During this period, I have translated all the notes left by Lord Taman into the Xia language, including some discoveries about the five ancestral families and himself. "

"Oh?" Han Ning suddenly became interested when he heard this.

Lena looked serious:

"As Mr. Taman said, this insect continent is not friendly to creatures that are not of the blood of the ancestors. It is no wonder that the Insek and Burning Tribes are crazy about escaping here..."

"All of this comes from the queen..."

"Queen?" Han Ning asked.

"The queen needs nutrition, and the source of nutrition... is the vitality of all bugs and insects on the continent. They are like fruits grown on branches. As long as they mature, they will be harvested and become the queen's meal."
