I want to be the Grand Duke of the Abyss

Chapter 26 Discovered

This king insect demon is huge, almost five or six meters long, and nearly two meters wide.

Her entire body is in the shape of an irregular spindle. The front end is a relatively narrow upper body torso, and the back end is a slightly bloated abdomen used for reproduction. Each section of the body seems to be a symbol of strength.

The eight sharp legs are folded under the body. Although the shape is similar to that of ordinary insect demons, the proportions of each leg are more symmetrical and look more coordinated.

The body of the King Insect Demon is covered with a hard dark green shell, as if it is wearing an indestructible armor, thickly protecting its body.There are subtle and uneven textures on the shell, and you can feel the strength of its defense just by looking at it.

At the top of the head, there is a pair of long and sharp tentacles standing diagonally upward.The tentacles are dark black, long and thin, like two long whips swinging in the air.The sharp thorn-like ends are constantly trembling, making it look extremely aggressive.

At the top of the antennae, there are small ring-shaped structures, which are her important organs for sensing the outside world.They can quickly stretch and bend to sense and capture information around them.

The most striking feature is her head.

The head of the King Insect Demon is round, with a pair of gray eye sockets on its forehead slowly opening and closing, and its two blood-red eyes sparkling, revealing a cunning and ferocious light, and exuding a sinister aura from time to time.In addition to the mouthparts, the mouth also has a pair of huge external teeth, like two sharp long knives.

Suddenly, the crouching King Insect Demon seemed to sense something, its ugly and strong upper body rose slightly, and its entire head raised.The originally drooped eyelids suddenly opened wide, and as the mouthparts opened and closed, a metallic and slightly hoarse voice came out:

"Thal! Come here, my boy!"

The insect demons who were busy in the air made a fuss after hearing the sound, and pushed each other to slowly make way for a long and narrow passage.

At the end of the passage, a figure that was obviously stronger than the other insect demons flew straight towards the stone platform where the king insect demon was lying.

This tall insect demon has two pairs of sharp legs on its chest, and its carapace is dotted with some silver-white spots.

Thrall is an insect demon that has evolved to the third level!
"King, what are your orders?"

The insect demon named Thrall flew to the stage and bowed slowly. Since it has not yet evolved to the Silver level and has not awakened the devil language, it still cannot speak, so it can only convey its thoughts with a mental wave.

"Something has gotten into the nest. You take some children and kill them."

The King Insect Demon's fierce eyes were full of murderous intent, and he ordered in a cold voice.

There is a life link between the king insect demon and the ordinary insect demons he gave birth to.Every time an ordinary insect demon dies, the king insect demon can immediately sense it.

She had been ovulating for many days recently. Except for a few sentinels placed outside the nest, she had already ordered the rest of the combat units to stop hunting and recalled them all back to the nest.

During the gestation period, the King Insect Demon is usually at its weakest, and she must ensure her absolute safety in the lair.

But during this period, she needed a lot of energy to maintain her body's constant ovulation, so basically all the tribe members in the cave were sent out to dig for soul stones, leaving no free combat units to hunt.

Ever since she woke up today, she felt like children were dying one after another.But fortunately, there was a long time between them. After this situation stopped, she thought something happened to the children stranded outside the nest, so she didn't take it to heart.

But in just ten minutes, she actually sensed that the life links of seven more children were broken.

And the intervals between the two waves of death were very short.

Even if the outgoing sentry dies, it is unlikely that the members of the team will be killed at the same time, and there is usually a long distance between them.Therefore, she concluded that a strange creature must have broken into the nest and killed the children who were digging in the underground corner in a short time.

Thrall responded to the king insect demon's words with mental fluctuations, then bowed again and led a large group of insect demons to fly out of the underground cave.

It was unforgivable for the great king to be disturbed during his pregnancy.

It's going to tear that intruder apart!
~~~
After Jiang Fan finished sweeping the second tunnel, he continued to quietly return along the original road. He also did not encounter any insect demons along the way, and once again arrived at the starting point of his dream safely.

Looking at the countless passageways covered with stone walls in front of him, Jiang Fan couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Tonight, he will become the most powerful bandit king in Death Valley!

Just as he stood quietly in the hall and felt the atmosphere of the many tunnels, an extremely weak noise suddenly came from a certain tunnel.

If his five senses hadn't become very sharp after evolution, he might even suspect that he was hearing hallucinations.

Jiang Fan was startled and quickly looked at the panel map.

Sure enough, densely packed small red dots began to appear at the edge of the aperture, indicating that it was less than 30 meters away.

What the hell!

Jiang Fan was so frightened that he almost cursed.

Are you kidding me about the abyss?
I didn't see the dried blood on the ground. Once the insect demon group is surrounded in the lair, not even the bones and scum will be left!
Jiang Fan kicked his legs hard, and the strong devil's wings behind him flapped violently, flying towards the entrance of the cave with as much strength as if he was rushing to reincarnate.

You must not be blocked in the lair by the insect demons!
He didn't know the layout of the cave at all. If the cave entrance was blocked and unable to escape, there would really be no way to survive.

Although he was standing in the hall when he escaped, not far from the hole behind him, the map's light display range was also only 30 meters!

Just when Jiang Fan was about to rush out and take one foot out of the cave entrance, countless insect demons also happened to swarm out of the tunnel entrance on the stone wall behind him.

The leader, the six-legged silver armor, is none other than the third-order insect demon Thrall!

Because the light at the entrance of the cave was too obvious, the insect demons spotted Jiang Fan's fleeing figure at the first sight.

Realizing that there was indeed an enemy who dared to break into their lair, kill their fellow humans and steal the soul stones, the insect demons collectively let out a harsh hiss.

These screams were as harsh as nails scratching on iron sheets, echoing continuously in the empty mountain hall, filled with hatred and anger.

The insect demon tribe has a strict hierarchy. They crowd in the center of the hall, waiting for Thrall's orders, and are ready to rush out and fight mercilessly with the enemy at any time.

Thrall looked at the shameless thief who escaped from the lair right under its eyes, and felt that he had failed to protect the safety of the King Insect Demon. A trace of shame and anger rose in his heart, reaching straight to the Tianling Cap, and even the tentacles above his head became a little stiff.

The wings on its back trembled, and its mental fluctuations instantly dispersed. It followed the dense army of insect demons and chased after it without hesitation!
