Chapter 693 - 333: Su Jiameng’s Apology (Part 1)
Xihe, being so sharp, suggests that the other two knives are no ordinary goods as well. They might become sharp weapons in the hands of those two buns, following them until the end of their masters’ lives. Su Jiameng thought randomly about some things, swiftly sheathing her knife.
Taking advantage that the Insect Race did not yet have the courage to approach, she directly summoned the Military God from the Mecha Space Hub, flipped over, and leaped into the mecha cockpit, heading to find Liang Xiaonuo and the others.
Speaking of which, they were not far from her, even quite close. If rushing with all her might, it would only take a few seconds. When she arrived above their location, she found that these four were performing even better than she had imagined.
The four were divided into two groups, two people per team, complementing each other’s strengths and weaknesses. The two teams watched over and assisted each other, seemingly scattered and bold, yet this was the best arrangement for the moment. Moreover, these four cooperated seamlessly, and those low-level Insect Races were not even a match for them.
Su Jiameng ordered the Military God to hover and cloak, while she climbed out of the cockpit, sitting on the mechanical arm of the Military God to watch their performance.
In just over ten minutes, many somewhat familiar Insect Races appeared in the distance. With a little thought, she figured out what it was.
Withered Leaf Insects, a type of Insect Race as tricky as the Adhesive Devouring Worm, carrying deadly poison and corrosive mucus. Su Jiameng had suffered at the hands of these creatures before.
Being bitten by one of these creatures, the pain is unimaginable to ordinary people!

That time for Su Jiameng, it was after a fierce fight with a strong Insect General Withered Leaf Insect, when her body was exhausted and she hadn’t yet had time to retreat, that she was surrounded by the offspring in the lair of that Withered Leaf Insect.
If it weren’t for having quite a few antidotes on her at the time, she probably wouldn’t have made it back.
It was also after this lesson that she deeply understood a truth: never underestimate any low-level Insect Race, for they have the ability to evolve rapidly, and after upgrading, their strength is exceptional! Inside the Insect Race, only strength matters, not what kind of Insect Race you were!
"An old enemy indeed..." Su Jiameng raised her hand to her forehead, using the excellent geographical advantage to gaze at the distant Withered Leaf Insects.
To be honest, many interstellar creatures like to complain that humans reproduce quickly, have short gestation periods, and large numbers, occupying a lot of interstellar energy. But compared to the Insect Race, humans are much slower! As long as there’s one male and one female or even a solitary individual, they can breed countless offspring. When a swarm of Insect Races rushes, the scene is indeed extraordinarily spectacular!
When she saw among these Withered Leaf Insects, quite a few of them had a single stripe, her idle, watching expression instantly turned solemn! Liang Xiaonuo and the others might not know, but how could she not understand?
When so many Withered Leaf Insects with a single stripe appear, and they cooperate tacitly to forage outside, it means there’s a higher-level existence emerging in their group!
The Insect Race is extremely greedy and belligerent, a race that plunders energy by instincts alone, not minding eating anything for the sake of energy. In this race, notions like parents and siblings don’t exist; when hungry, they eat whatever they catch.
Of course, such chaotic order cannot last long. When an Insect Race surpassing the group is born, it will guide and suppress the low-level Insect Race to kill each other. For example, ordinary Withered Leaf Insects and those with a single stripe...
Even Insect Races of the same level experience such mutual killings until a higher-level existence emerges among them. So, seeing such a large number of Withered Leaf Insects with a single stripe, she realized the situation was not right.
Just at that moment, Liang Xiaonuo and the others were reaching their limits, and it was time to wrap up for the day.
She ordered the Military God to deactivate cloaking and use telekinesis to suppress the Withered Leaf Insects that were itching to tear Liang Xiaonuo and the others apart, "Why are you still here?"
Upon hearing this, even Liang Xiaonuo, the most quick-tempered, couldn’t help but get angry. Because Su Jiameng’s demeanor seemed too leisurely, anyone with a brain would guess she had been leisurely watching above the four of them...
They were struggling to keep their lives, while this woman was watching a show! However, their deep anger eventually dissipated into nothingness. They also knew that their safety depended on their own protection; what sense does it make to rely on others?
Su Jiameng’s telekinesis exploded to temporarily suppress the Withered Leaf Insects, and Liang Xiaonuo and the others tacitly leaped onto the Military God’s body.
The Military God ascended, and the Withered Leaf Insects on the ground gradually broke free from the telekinesis bind, roaring hoarse voices full of immense anger, as if venting their rage futilely.
"How do you feel?" Su Jiameng found a relatively safer place, then landed, during which the other four did not say a word, occasionally glancing at her.
Their expressions transformed from initial confusion and anger to understanding and determination.
At this moment, Cui Hu and the others had completely figured it out and naturally wouldn’t harbor any negative emotions towards Su Jiameng’s actions.
Upon hearing her question, one by one, they entered a state of reflection and contemplation. Liang Xiaonuo said, "After experiencing it firsthand, I realized that hearing about it and seeing it are different, and seeing it and doing it also makes a big difference. I’ve always known the Insect Race is dangerous and how destructive they can be, but I never had a vivid understanding of the actual situation..."
Cui Hu thought even more. The four of them had done enough homework, yet facing these creatures, they still felt lacking. So, what kind of tragic scene would it be when his hometown suddenly encounters an immense change caused by the Insect Race? (To be continued.
