Overlord: Insect Eater

Chapter 239 Zong Zu
The Zongzu in front of him was obviously different from what he imagined, because what the Celestial Chong saw was just a palm-sized, round, jade-like cyan beetle.

"Haha, why, you look a little disappointed?"

Seeing Tian Chong's expression a little dazed, a gentle voice sounded again.

Although the person speaking could not be seen, Tianchong was sure that the sound was made by the green jade beetle.

Upon seeing this, the spiritual insect clan leader next to him immediately winked at Tian Zhong, signaling the other party not to be rude.

Even the golden cicada shook its wings on top of Tianchong's head, reminding Tianchong that the cute little jade beetle in front of him was very dangerous and even put him under great pressure.

Tian Chong looked at the constant gestures of the people around him, and Tian Chong smiled slightly.

"It's just a little unexpected. I didn't expect Lord Zongzu to look so 'cute'..."

"Hahahaha, I also like the way it looks now, but this color is a bit immature. I used to wear dark black, which looked cold and domineering. It was quite handsome..."

Hearing that the old man, the young man, and the insect were talking about appearance here, the leader of the spiritual insect clan was a little confused. Ancestor, you are a bit too unreliable, right?

Finally, seeing that the two of them were showing signs of getting more and more excited as they chatted, the head of the Spirit Insect Clan had to step forward and interrupt them.

"Ancestor, we are here because the Heavenly Insect is extremely talented and has been the No. 1 of our Spirit Insect Tribe for thousands of years. And now he has broken through to the supreme level, so I am going to designate him as the No. [-] of the Spirit Insect Tribe. As an heir, I ask my ancestors for your approval!"

The interrupted green jade beetle flapped its wings twice, looking like it was still unfinished.

However, after listening to the words of the leader of the spiritual insect clan, he still said: "As the leader of the clan, you can decide this matter yourself. What's the use of talking to an old guy like me who is about to die?"

"But what you said is right. This little guy's talent and luck are incredible, and he was able to subjugate the descendants of the greedy old man Six-winged Golden Cicada into natal spiritual insects. His future achievements will definitely be It’s better than a small insect, so you made the right decision.”

"Little bug..."

Well, this can be regarded as Zongzu’s nickname for the leader of the Spirit Zerg clan.

Just being called out openly in front of a junior still made the Spirit Insect Clan Leader feel a little embarrassed.

"Little guy, what are your plans next? If nothing happens, why not stay with the old man and me? It just so happens that there will be no outsiders here to disturb you. You can practice hard and strive to break through to Heavenly Supreme as soon as possible."

Tianchong raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"How long will that take?"

"Don't worry, old man, I'm pretty good at judging people. With your talent, it won't take long, at most a hundred years will be enough!"

century……

Well, for a high-ranking Earth Supreme, if he can break through the Heavenly Supreme in just a hundred years, then speaking out will definitely scare [-]% of the powerful people in the world, but for the Heavenly Insect, this time is still too long. Got it!
For Tianchong, hiding in one place and relying on hard training to improve his strength is the worst way. As a protagonist, if you don’t go out and cause trouble, there is no chance of rapid improvement...

"Thank you for your kindness, ancestor, but I have made an agreement with others before that I will go to the Ancient Holy Abyss in two years..."

"The ancient holy abyss?"

Two suspicious voices sounded at the same time.

However, Zongzu's words were filled with confusion, but the leader of the Spirit Zerg Clan who knew the information about the Ancient Holy Abyss was directly shocked.

"Where is that place?" Zongzu couldn't help but ask when he saw the spirit insect clan leader's reaction was so great.

The reason why I have never heard of this place is because when the Spirit Insect Tribe and the Insect Realm faced the invasion of evil alien races at the same time, the Great Thousand World had not yet had a final decisive battle with the evil alien races. Naturally, there was no mention of the Ancient Holy Abyss.

After the ancestor of the spirit insects died, and Zongzu was seriously injured but luckily survived, Zongzu and the spirit insect tribe sealed off the insect world, completely isolating it from the outside world. It was only opened again after a thousand years, so the final war took place. Zongzu doesn’t even know.

"Ancestor, the Ancient Holy Abyss was originally just a lower plane, but it became one of the main battlefields of the Great Thousand World and the evil races outside the territory. It is rumored that nearly ten Heavenly Sovereigns fell in the Ancient Holy Abyss in the Great Thousand World, and Among them, there are four supreme saints!"

Zongzu was slightly silent after hearing this. As someone who had experienced the invasion of evil races from outside the territory, Zongzu knew very well how powerful those evil races from outside the territory were.

So many Heavenly Sovereigns died in one battlefield alone, and there were even four extremely powerful men at the level of Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns. One can imagine the cruelty of that battle.

And this kind of place, even if tens of thousands of years have passed, is still an extremely dangerous and forbidden place, right?
"Although there are some dangers, the rewards are equally amazing..."

"Precisely because a large number of super powerful men from both sides have fallen into it, many of the inheritances of the Heavenly Sovereigns, peerless magical powers, and peerless holy objects that surpass high-level holy objects have remained in it. Therefore, although the ancient holy abyss is extremely dangerous, In this vast world, there are still countless strong people trying to enter. If you are lucky enough to obtain the inheritance of a certain fallen Heavenly Supreme, you may be able to reach the sky in one step..."

Tian Chong's words made both the leader of the Spirit Chong and Zong Zu temporarily silent for a moment.

"What the little guy said is correct. I think back then, that old guy from Spirit Insect and I went through a lot of dangerous places. It was in this way that we laid a huge foundation for the establishment of the Spirit Insect clan."

Zongzu said with some nostalgia.

"The world at that time was still in the ancient chaotic period, and terrifying guys like the Six-winged Golden Cicada and Dragon Ancestor were everywhere, but they were much more dangerous than now..."

Tian Chong's eyes widened. Listening to this Zong Ancestor's words, could it be that the birth time of the Spirit Zerg Clan was so ancient?

Oh, by the way, there may not have been a spiritual insect race at that time, but the spiritual insect ancestor had already been born and had already begun to travel across the world...

"Then ancestor, do you agree?"

"Hahaha, you young people, just make your own decisions..." Zongzu, an old man who has lived for who knows how many years, seems to have a good mentality.

"But your little guy is very important to the Spirit Insect Tribe now, so we have to pay attention to safety."

After pondering for a while, Zongzu suddenly said: "Let's do it this way. The old man still has a few usable men in his hands, so I'll find you a bodyguard..."

Tian Chong saw the patriarch next to him look happy, and immediately understood that the bodyguard Zong Zu mentioned was definitely not simple.

And he himself doesn't mind having a strong person protecting him. After all, why not use it if he has this condition?
Following a period of silence, Tianchong felt a dense set of footsteps coming from outside...

Because Zongzu's residence is similar to a cave, the footsteps are somewhat obvious, but what makes Tian Zong puzzled is that there should be several people listening to the frequency of these footsteps... Oh, of course, there may be only one, after all, it is bigger. may not be human.

Sure enough, in the expectant eyes of the two people, a beautiful female figure walked out of the darkness deep in the cave.

The Heavenly Insect couldn't help but look surprised. Is it possible that there really are humans in the center of the insect world, or are they spiritual insects that have transformed into humans?
In this kind of surprise and confusion, Tianchong finally saw clearly the whole appearance of the person coming, and he suddenly understood.

"It turns out to be a spider spirit..." Tianchong muttered to himself.

The spider spirit thing is of course a joke, but the person who comes here is a real half-human, half-spider. The upper body is that of a beautiful woman, wearing a black armor, with long green hair, and a bumpy figure that even a thick armor can't match. The lower body of the spider is as smooth and moist as black jade, giving people a sense of novelty and temptation.

"Tsk, tsk, she really looks like a monster girl..."

Tianchong smiled secretly in his heart, and accidentally flashed a monster girl animation he had watched in his previous life.

Of course, as a normal human being, it is impossible for the Celestial Insect to have any bad thoughts towards this half-human creature, but perhaps because she felt the gaze of outsiders, this spider woman was a little uncomfortable with it.

next moment……

A burst of intense green light erupted.

In the light, the spider girl who originally fit the aesthetics of curiosity lovers disappeared. Instead, the skin of her upper body was covered with a layer of purple-black armor. Even her face was covered by a carapace. There were four growths under her eyes. Out comes the little eyed monster.

As for the lower body, which was originally warm and jade-like, it now turned into a huge round spider belly.

Eight thick long legs grew out of the spider's abdomen, driving her body to walk like flying. There were also large green hairs growing on them, as well as disgusting mucus.

These slimes not only seem to have lethality, but even Jin Chan, a guy who claims to be invulnerable to all poisons, is afraid of it. I am afraid that if he is contaminated, the people below Tianzhizun will be corroded into a pool of blood in a short time.

"Uh……"

Tian Chong, who originally wanted to admire it, suddenly twitched the corners of his eyes, quickly withdrew his gaze and turned his head.

And coincidentally, when he turned his head, his peripheral vision also spotted the leader of the Spirit Insect Clan who was making the same move as him.

Tian Chong: "...?!"

Leader of the Spirit Insect Clan: "..."

Good guy, I thought it was my gaze that offended the other person, but I didn’t expect that there was another person beside me...

"Haha, okay, okay, stop making trouble and come here quickly."

In Zongzu's laughing voice, the spider girl once again returned to her original appearance, and then walked to Zongzu's side, standing firmly on her eight feet.

"Haha, her name is the Death Queen, and her true form is the Death Spider Queen. From now on, she will be by your side and responsible for protecting your safety."

"Death Emperor? This name is quite domineering, full of killing intent." Tian Chong thought to himself.

As for the Death Spider King, the name sounds like the Spider King of Insects, but there seems to be no record of such an Insect King among all the spider-like spiritual insects that I know about?

At this moment, Tian Chong suddenly heard the clan leader's somewhat surprised voice.

"Good guy, Death Spider Emperor? It's her. I didn't expect that my ancestor would call this person out this time. It seems that my ancestor really values ​​the Sky Insect!"

"Clan leader, do you know her?" Tian Chong couldn't help but ask.

"Well, of course I know. This Death Spider Emperor was one of the four emperors who were once under the command of the Zongzu, and is also the only existing four emperor level spirit insect. Even though she is not in the realm of the Zongzu Emperor now, but according to legend This Death Spider King killed a Supreme Spiritual Heaven Supreme in ancient times!"

The words of the Spirit Insect Clan Leader immediately shocked the Celestial Insect beyond words.

"Kill the Heavenly Supreme? How is it possible..."

You know, the Heavenly Sovereign is the benchmark for the Insect Emperor, and the Insect Emperor is just equivalent to the Earth Sovereign state.

Killing the Supreme Being of Heaven with the Supreme Body of Earth is something that even Muchen, the protagonist of the world, cannot do, let alone a mere spider woman.

"Don't believe it, the clan will never record this incorrectly. Although some external factors were used at the time, the Supreme Being was indeed poisoned to death by the Death Spider King with his own original poison that day!"

After repeated affirmations from the Spirit Insect Clan Leader, Tian Insect finally believed this unbelievable thing.

When he looked at the Death Emperor again, his heart was filled with admiration.

Of course, he soon became happy, because from now on, such a terrifying existence that could poison the Heavenly Supreme would become his exclusive bodyguard.

At this time, the voice of the spiritual insect clan leader came again, and this time there was a strong tone of regret in his voice.

"It's a pity that although she poisoned a Heavenly Sovereign back then, it also damaged her origin. She has been unable to be promoted since then..."

"But it is precisely for this reason that during the war, she was left deep in the Insect Realm by Zongzu, while the other three emperors followed Zongzu to resist the invasion of evil tribes from outside the territory, and finally all fell in the war."

Skyworm: "..."

Things like this reminded Tian Chong of a sentence in "Laozi" in his previous life: When misfortune comes, blessings rely on it; when blessings come, misfortune lies beneath.

This can be regarded as the strongest combat power in Zongzu's hands, and it can also be seen from this that he values ​​the Celestial Insects.

"Okay, the Death Emperor will follow the little Celestial Insect guys from now on. Since you have no intention of staying here, just go and do your own thing. My old man has nothing better to do to help you little guys right now. Okay, just take care of yourself..."

Hearing this, the Heavenly Chong and Spirit Chong clan leaders bowed respectfully at the same time, sincerely expressing their gratitude to this Zongzu.

As for the Death Emperor standing next to Zongzu, his originally indifferent eyes also showed some fluctuations, and he looked at Zongzu with a look of reluctance and worry...

Zongzu didn't speak, and just watched silently as the two people and one Zongzu left here.

After a long time, a long sigh sounded.

"Time...has it been so long?"

"I hope you little guys can grow up quickly, otherwise..."

The sound gradually became ethereal until it disappeared and was no longer audible.
