Chapter 173: Messed Up The Situation


    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios


    Went back in time to today.


    On the battlefield that had already ended, Engineer insectoids were crawling everywhere.


    They looked like Stag Beetles that were thousands of timesrger. Their immense strength allowed them to effortlessly drag heavy objects.


    With the efforts of the Engineer Insect n, everything on the battlefield, whether living or dead, whether undead or insectoid, was dragged to the back and ced in a heavily guarded open space.


    Here, the branches of the Mother Tree swayed, adorned with human heads hanging from its branches.


    Looking below at the food provided by the Insect n, the Mother Tree was delighted.


    Was there anything more satisfying than having others hunt for you instead of h un ting yourself?


    And what about the human-headed monsters I sent out?


    How would these insects know how much biomass it required to create a human-headed monster? How could they understand that 1 could earn 90% energy with just this move?!


    This deal was incredibly profitable!


    Of course, there was no need for the Mother Tree to disclose to anyone the exact revenue.


    It just diligently produced head creatures until it consumed about a tenth of its energy, then put on an expression of weakness.


    “I can’t go on, I’m depleted!”


    Not far ahead, a two-meter-tall insectoid with six de-like legs on its back, a face and body that met human aesthetics, spoke crisply.


    “Don’t worry, my dearest partner… We will provide you with an endless supply of biomass!”


    With these words, the Source Realm expert of the insectoids, the Queen of des, waved her hand slightly.


    Outside, the sound of insects resounded in all directions!


    Only these corpses on the battlefield were not enough, far from enough!


    There was still the Undead n in the Chaoshan Tribe!


    Now, they were equivalent to tribtion transcenders. The Insect n would definitely not let them off.


    Just as the Queen of des was about to turn and leave, the Mother Tree spoke again.


    “By the way, Queen, there’s something I need to rify in advance.”


    “We’ve also formed a partnership with the Giant Race. If you encounter them in the future, please give me a little respect and don’t start fighting immediately.”


    Hearing this, a cold light shed in the Queen of des’ eyes.


    She said sarcastically, “My dearest coborator… You’re not forming a partnership with the Undead n too, are you?”


    The Mother Treeughed, “That’s not possible. After all, I have to give you a hunting target, right?”


    Time returned to a few days ago.


    Inside the central military tent, when they heard that the Mother Tree was still cooperating with the Insect n, Hao Lie immediately frowned.


    However, after thinking about it carefully, Hao Lie had noments.


    The cooperation between the Mother Tree and the Insect n happened first.


    They were neers to this situation.


    As for Simba’s story about cooperating with the insectoids, it was most likely true… probably.


    The Mother Tree had no reason to lie.


    One of his subordinates brought a map and Hao Lie studied it carefully.


    “This is the ck Feather Mountain. This way is the territory of our Giant Race. Beyond the Bear Mountain in the opposite direction is the territory of the Insect Race and the Undead n. I think the coborator of the Mother Tree is probably the de Edge Insect Nest or the Giant Sickle Insect Nest here…”


    “On the right is the Hundred Thousand Mountains. There are only exotic beasts there and no intelligent races. It’s too far to cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains, so there’s no need to consider.”


    “To the left is the Realm of Chaos, inhabited by brainless intelligent races, even stranger than beasts…”


    “Mm—”


    Hao Lie groaned and grinned at Simba.


    “I wonder if the Mother Tree has other coborators?”


    Simba shook his head, “Not for the time being…”


    Hao Lie nodded with understanding, “I see.”


    Only after Simba left did Hao Lie clench his teeth, smashing the wine cup in his hand!


    He was very angry.


    This was because good things could not be enjoyed alone. Instead, they had to be shared.


    Furthermore, the issues brought by the cooperation between the Mother Tree and the Insect n and the Giant n were not just about sharing the benefits!


    The importance of the Mother Tree was evident.


    It could mass-produce those eligible for ascension to the heavens!


    Whoever controlled the Mother Tree held the power to dictate the path of ascension! To put it mildly, no ambitious race could or would share such a thing!


    “Insect n… Insect n…”


    In the central military tent, Hao Lie muttered to himself, then he suddenly raised his head and looked towards a figure beside him.


    “Third Uncle.”


    “Hmm,” An elderly giant responded.” He was a Source Realm expert of the Giant Tribe apanying the army this time.


    Hao Lie continued, “Are you and Fourth Uncle confident in taking down the de Edge Insect Nest and the Giant Sickle Insect Nest?”


    Third Uncle pondered for a moment and shook his head.


    “I’m afraid not.”


    “I see…” Hao Lie muttered and continued, “Then Third Uncle, are you and Fourth Uncle confident in guarding this ck Feather Mountain and the Mother Tree on the mountain?”


    Third Uncle smiled faintly, seemingly satisfied with Hao Lie’s logical thinking. “I’m not confident. However, I’ve already sent a message to the Royal Court just now. I believe more reinforcements will arrive soon.”


    Hao Lie nodded slightly and Third Uncle continued, “Moreover, I believe you should also gather biomass while preparing to deal with the Insect n, or rather the possible attacks from all races in the current world.”


    On ck Feather Mountain, the branches of the Mother Tree swayed.


    Arge number of human heads opened their eyes in unison. Countless biomass surged into the human heads, providing the Mother Tree with extraordinaryputing power and intelligence!


    “Insect n.”


    “Giant n.”


    “Heh… Regardless of the race, that inherent greed and selfishness aremon.”


    “The greed to monopolize the treasures.”


    “The selfishness of absolutely not wanting to share advantages!”


    “Those who are not of our kind will definitely have different intentions!”


    “I’m looking forward to the sparks that will fly between the two of you.”


    With these thoughts in mind, the heads on the Mother Tree curled their lips involuntarily.


    It kept pondering.


    “Hmm, two major ns and five avatars are enough. There’s no need to cooperate with the Undead n anymore. I should leave a target and hunting goal for the Insect n and the Giant n, right?”


    “The next step is to publicize this unique characteristic of mine and incite the covetousness and greed of all races!”


    “Only in this way can 1 grow faster and ck off.”


    Take advantage of the chaos to profit privately, this was thew.


    Although the appearance of the tribtion transcenders and the ck Mist Zone had already caused some disagreement among the ns, the Mother Tree entered the scene too early, and the various ns had not yet erupted intorge-scale wars.


    To put it bluntly, the situation was not sufficiently messed up.


    For the Mother Tree to grow, it needed room to develop and to mess up the situation. That way, those super-powered Source Realm and even Ancient Realm experts would not dare to directly attack it—instead, they would protect its safety, providing a space for it to develop in secret.


    Why engage in needless fighting and killing?


    The Mother Tree had more options avable!


    Thinking of this, the Mother Tree said softly, “Lian Jie, go tell the Giant n that I’m hungry.”


    Lian Jie nodded and left.


    The Mother Tree vaguely saw the quiet and peaceful New York gathering ce at the foot of the mountain.


    After experiencing such an ordeal, the group of tribtion transcenders in New York were naturally forgotten by the Giant n…


    With the Mother Tree around, they were essentially useless.


    They were not even worthy of being food for the Mother Tree. They were too weak and the energy contained was too low…


    In short, the humans in the New York gathering ce were in a state where one cared and no one paid attention—because of their weakness, they gained a space for survival.


    The Nanxiang gathering ce was actually in such a state.


    The only ones who still coveted Nanxiang were the zombies of the Blood me Sect.


    Time returned to the present.


    After two hours of tidying up and organizing, Ma prepared to return to the Blood me Sect with the remaining zombies of Chaosan Tribe.


    However, not long after leaving the Chaosan Sect, Ma suddenly stopped in his tracks.


    This was because ahead of them, the figure of the Queen of des descended from the sky andnded in front of them.


    This made Ma give a wry smile in despair.


    “Sir, there’s no need topletely wipe us out, right? We’ve already given you the territory…”


    The Queen of des could not be bothered to waste her breath on Ma.


    With a wave of her fair hand, a brilliant sea of dazzling de lights filled the sky..
