Chapter 712 - 342: The Mysterious Insect Imperial (Part 2)
Although the Insect Race here is no longer as formidable as its most arrogant period, the number gathered in the Dark West Corner Star Domain is still quite terrifying. Even without that terrifying and mysterious Insect Imperial, they can easily overthrow half of the Human Alliance.
The reason these Insect Races are suppressed in this Dark West Corner Star Domain is a result of the concerted efforts of the interstellar alliance.
The forces on the frontier of the Life and Death Line and the troops that regularly clean up the Insect Race are dispatched regularly by them. The manpower, material, and financial resources consumed each year are astronomical figures, and the fallen heroes on this land are no fewer than those on the frontline battlefield.
Even so, these remaining Insect Races have indeed given Su Jiameng and a few others a tough time.
If at the beginning it was just a warm-up to familiarize themselves with the "business," then the following time was truly a life-and-death struggle! A moment’s carelessness would cost them everything.
Even though the five have massive logistical support and the Plane Store connects all Planes, and they don’t lack Plane Points.
There is nothing they can’t buy, only things they couldn’t think of. There’s an abundance of various things, yet the final result is still quite solemn.
Su Jiameng is fine with it; getting injured for her is a common occurrence, as long as she doesn’t lose her life, nothing else matters. Unlike her past life, her appearance wasn’t destroyed, but only she knows how many scars remained on her body.
However, compared to Su Jiameng, except for Liang Xiaonuo who had the protection of good fortune and high Combat Power, remaining intact, others more or less went through very painful lessons and lost some things. A few years were enough for them to grow all the way while stepping on blood.
Cui Hu lost his left arm, which was during an Insect Race’s ambush. The situation was extremely urgent then, and neither Su Jiameng nor others could look after themselves, especially Cui Hu’s situation was dire.

At the Life and Death Line, he decisively made a choice, sacrificing an arm in exchange for a sliver of life. Barely holding on until a companion had a free hand to pull him back to life.
However, that Insect Race carried a special venom, which suppressed the effect of the special medicine, making it impossible for his limb to regenerate.
At that time, two options were available: either wait a few days for the venom to clear out, then inject special medicine for limb regeneration. But they were then being besieged by wave after wave of the Insect Race, constantly teetering on the edge of life and death, and any misstep would make them prey for the Insect Race. In such a situation, there was no time for Cui Hu to heal, and he would become a burden to his companions.
Or, choose to install a mechanical arm! However, in this way, the limb couldn’t regenerate in a short period. Because for the mechanical arm to be as flexible as the original one, it needs to connect with the arm’s nerves, muscles, and blood vessels, and inject special medication to assist adaptation, which happens to conflict with the limb regeneration medicine. The dilemma of making a choice was presented in front of Cui Hu!
However, considering the bigger picture, Cui Hu finally decided to implant a mechanical arm! Compared to the human arm, the mechanical arm doesn’t have any inconvenience, and Cui Hu got used to it very quickly; even later, when there was a chance for limb regeneration, he didn’t choose to do so.
Lu Anchen’s situation was similar, but he lost his right eye. More importantly, it wasn’t destroyed by the Insect Race, but he relinquished it himself. It’s a story that even now makes everyone shudder to think about.
In the Insect Race, there is a kind that excels at mental chaos. Their spiritual power can create illusions, interfering with people’s sight and judgment. Lu Anchen, as a Scout-type Warrior, took the wrong path, leading his partners into the Insect Race’s lair!
At that time, Su Jiameng had already gone through a fierce battle, her Telekinesis was greatly depleted, and she looked a bit haggard. In such a mentally exhausted state, she couldn’t break through the illusions set by the Insect Race. Lu Anchen’s spiritual power wasn’t strong enough either to block the interference of the Insect Race’s spiritual power, leading to a self-harming act in a moment of urgent panic, using the intense pain from the right eye to regain brief clarity...
After the incident was safe, Liang Xiaonuo always said he was at a loss, self-harming in such a bad way by damaging his own eye.
The troublesome part was that eyes didn’t regenerate like limbs, so in the end, Lu Anchen installed a very advanced simulated electronic eye, which externally didn’t differ at all from a real eye.
This eye even became a great help for Lu Anchen, further enhancing his reconnaissance abilities, barely anyone could escape his sight.
