Chapter 269 - Ready For War!

"You're alive?" Yilong shouted, he was shocked by what he is seeing right now. Lee who was supposed to be dead, or he couldn't sense is still alive.

This is bad news because the bug tree would notice this.

"Don't worry, I don't have anymore remaining energy within me, I used it to the guy you killed earlier."

"Ah! No wonder he was badly injured when I saw him. He's strong."

Lee experienced a lot inside that dimension, the only time he got out is when it was weakened... Getting out he noticed that the one who trapped him on some kind of dimension was killed.

By his very own partner.

Yilong.

The two converse as both of them is trying to rest before they make a move. Inside the Scorpion bug tree, they shouldn't move at the same or the tree itself would sense them.

"Did you inform them?" Lee asked after their long conversation.

"They are coming," Yilong said.

"How many?"

"Only a few, about a hundred only."

"So little?" Lee found it quite unbelievable.

The last time they made a purge to newborn queens and useless clansmen, a lot of them survived ranging to ten thousand.

"Are you telling me that a lot of them died? Are you sure?" He said as he having a problem accepting it.

"Yes, even I am shocked! We should've contacted them sooner." Yilong said with a serious voice.

"Why is it that they are strengthened?" Lee asked out of curiosity. How could things happen right now? In the past, it never happens.

A thousand strong individuals like themselves and transformed into a hundred superpower army only. That is insane.

"The tree receives a spike of pure energy gathered from the outside for some unknown reason, helping it to create powerful kings and queens."

Yilong explained with a grim look on his face.

"Why's at the time like this!"

Lee said as he is saddened by his comrades. Even though their population is a lot, they still know each other.

Some of the deceased in that thousand are his friends and acquaintances. So it is still painful for him.

"How's the queen?"

Lee asked as he is loyal to the current queen. For them, the queen is important that's why they are doing all of these.

"The queen is safe. However, the scorpion bug tree is holding her captive. For the tree, itself senses that there's still newly born queen living."

Yilong as his expression is looking grim.

"Let's kill that queen."

Lee said angrily with desperation. They have to do it fast or they will become branded as wildlings of the scorpion bug tree as long as it accepted the newly born queen and king.

"Let me rest for a bit, I am tired," Yilong said as Lee could feel that his comrade's energy is chaotic.

If they saw the queen, they needed to assassinate her by their current queen's curse move that is granted to them even if they died.

Coming here is already a suicide and death is the only outcome.

"Let me help you," Lee suggested as Yilong nodded.

For the curse ability assassination to work, they needed to perform it with a good and calculated amount of energy. His chaotic aura earlier was not the best condition to do so.

Having his subordinate help him correct it is a big help, even though ot might cripple Lee as long as he succeeded or had a chance to succeed in assassinating the newly born queen. That is okay.

Suddenly, Yilong silenced his aura.

He didn't want the big tree to be alerted, and this time... Lees aura exploded.

Slowly, Lee put his hand on the shoulder of Yilong as his aura flows to him silently and calmly.

An hour later...

Lee was down lying on the ground without any energy left. But he still tried to talk.

"Good Luck, take that new queen down!"

Yilong was looking down on his partner, and nodded!

After that...

Swiss!

He disappeared.

...

On the other side...

"The two of them are still in there."

A hundred individuals are line up to the entrance of the root-like door. They are all the comrades of Yilong and Lee itself.

A powerful purger and Bug capturer.

Purgers are the term or Ba'ia humans who didn't have a complete ruler on them, the scorpion bug tree will hide and protect them as long as they have a queen and kings.

If they don't...

The scorpion bug tree will not protect them, it will instead abandon them.

For the scorpion bug tree to protect them, they needed to offer it a lot of energy pollen core from deceased elemental bug beasts or wild spirit plants.

However, doing so would make it have the ability to sprout another bug king and queen.

And whenever it did.

They will naturally abandon them and create a stronger race of bug people or ba'ia humans.

"Are you all ready?" A man with authority asks.

"We are!"

"Wait for a minute."

Their job is to purge, purger like them improve cultivation levels every time they kill a newly born queen thus making them stronger!

They are all proficient in combats, as they can kill higher-level and stronger body bug beasts or xenomorpher king and queens.

"How long are gonna wait? I am ready to massacre!"

Another man said while riding a metallic armored scorpion.

"The big tree will open itself where we could go together for a day. If the two failed."

The man with a scar on his side said. They are all hungry for blood as they also have to do this for their queen.

"I heard that the bug beasts that they sent are all killed?"

They cannot sense the bug army but they can sense if the kings and queen inside are still alive. So they assumed that they are all killed!

"Yes," the one in front earlier nodded.

The spike of aura did make the newly born kings and queens stronger, but they are confident to kill these newly born queens.

They know that a newly born xenomorpher queen can enslave humans but they cannot enslave bug beasts for they are wild and dangerous.

So they sent a lot of it to weaken them, and for them to surely kill the rulers.

"What's the situation?" The man asked.

"Yilong is still alive, however... Lee is...."
