Chapter 164: Transformed into an inferior male insect coveting the prince (59)
"My Lord, you are truly wise and powerful! A mere king bug is nothing to you!
Hahaha, even that most powerful scorpion king was no match for you. He was beaten so badly that he peed and cried, begging our camp owner to be his daddy!"
From a distance, one could hear the noise, with words like "scorpion king" and "insect" being particularly loud. Qi Heng could hear it even though he was hiding behind a boulder.
[Mr. Qi, don't worry, they are just bragging. According to statistics, the leader of the Skyfire Camp is no match for the Shadow Scorpion King.
They took advantage of the Shadow Scorpion King's absence to kidnap the Insect Queen.】
The king insects also have their own things to do. They take turns in pairs to protect the queen insect. Especially here is human territory, and a ceasefire agreement has just been signed, so they still need to be vigilant and the protection must be even stricter.
Qi Heng really couldn't imagine how the leader of the Tianhuo Camp managed to escape the two king insects.
Almost the next second after Qi Heng was puzzled, Kai gave the answer.
[On the day of surveillance, the Shadow Scorpion King and the Green Dancing Mantis were providing protection.
Mantis was led away by the Skyfire Guardian, and the Shadow Scorpion King Lucius...】
Kai paused at this point, and for the first time the mechanical voice showed a hesitant attitude similar to that of a human.
Qi Heng carefully observed the approaching military convoy not far away.
There is a motorcycle in the space button on the neck, and he plans to follow them from a distance and wait for an opportunity to act.
Before he died, he wanted to see the little insect mother, at least to confirm that she was still alive, so that he could put his mind at ease before dying.
Hearing Kai's hesitation, Qi Heng became slightly interested. "How was Lucius led away?"
"…Ahem, your wanted portraits. We should have removed all of them, but there are too many portraits, so there are always a few that are missed.
Lucius discovered it and wanted to tear it off, leaving the little insect mother where it was while he left temporarily.
The owner of the Skyfire Camp took advantage of this opportunity to get close to the Insect Mother and suggested a new dating game, one that allowed one to pinch the face of a love partner, or match the face to the exact same one in real life based on a photo.
The little insect mother didn't know what was in her mind, and she followed the owner of the Skyfire Camp without any vigilance.
When Lucius returned, there was no trace of the Worm Queen. "
Qi Heng: “…” So the little insect mother is missing, and I am also missing?
Rubbing his brows, the convoy sped past the huge rocks, raising clouds of dust and making the air turbid.
Qi Heng covered his mouth and nose, and when the sound gradually died down, he took out his motorcycle and followed from behind.
There was a huge high wall with a blazing flame painted on it, and the gate slowly opened to let the convoy in.
Qi Heng put away the motorcycle and looked at the height of the wall. 80 meters was easy to climb.
With Kai's real-time reminders, Qi Heng perfectly avoided all patrolling pirates.
"Can you find the little bug mother?"
[Sorry, it's strange that the location of the insect mother cannot be detected in the Skyfire Camp.]
"What do you mean by undetectable... not present?"
[No, it's more like the location's aura has been intentionally blocked. This is just the periphery. Please go deeper.]
Qi Heng hid in the dark, watching the patrol soldiers from the Tianhuo Camp coming and going, and an idea came to his mind.
While no one was not noticing, he knocked out a lone person, dragged him into the darkness, stripped off his clothes, put them on himself, and blended in with the patrol team.
The team was silent. Not long after Qi Heng joined, a young pirate walking in front couldn't help asking
"Captain, why can't we talk today?
It’s so quiet, I’m not used to it, it’s because the one in the camp owner’s office…”
Before he could finish his words, the captain suddenly covered his mouth and interrupted him.
"Shh, keep your voice down! Let's not get involved in our boss's business.
Also, stay away from the main building, don’t get close… otherwise…” The people in front whispered.
Qi Heng was at the end of the team and could not hear anything.
"Kai, any important news?"
As long as it is an alliance communicator, Kai has authority to control it.
[…The Insect Queen is most likely in the Skyfire Camp Master’s office.
I hope Mr. Qi can reveal the news to his partners instead of acting on his own.
There are three bombs of unknown power buried under the main building of Tianhuo Camp. The time of explosion is unclear and it is very likely that they were controlled by humans.
This is an obvious trap. Just wait for the queen insect to take the bait and the bomb to activate.
No wonder the King Insect has been unable to rescue the Insect Queen for so long, and the stalemate has lasted for so long. 】
Qi Heng pursed his lips and entered the building at the same speed.
It wasn't until we got closer to the camp owner's office that Kai in my head spoke again.
[…Mr. Qi, what exactly do you want to do? I suddenly don’t understand you.
Can it be understood that you are overly concerned about the safety of the insect mother and don't care about the consequences?
Please leave the main building of Tianhuo Camp as soon as possible. It is very dangerous here and may explode at any time. 】
“…The Worm Queen is inside.”
[Do you want to die with the insect mother? ]
Qi Heng paused, "Kai, what do you mean?"
[Based on the current situation, the King Insect's strategy is most likely to delay until the Skyfire Camp Master becomes impatient and reveals his flaws.]
"What if there is no flaw?"
【……】Kai is silent
[Sacrifice the hostages. You know, the insect queen in the building has not yet reached maturity.
Sacrificing the top Zerg King for an immature Zerg Queen is too great a loss.
The meaning is clear. The king insect hiding outside may not have the idea of risking his life to go into the building to save the mother insect.
Even when absolutely necessary, they will let the mother insect die.
Qi Heng felt a chill in his heart.
"So, you're just going to let me watch her die?
"What about Seraphos? Has he come to Tianyan Star?"
【On the way.】
Wow, I came here on an ordinary spaceship, but Seraphos is still on the way. It seems like he is not in a hurry at all.
Kai had tampered with the surveillance cameras in the entire building. Qi Heng hid his presence and held the light gun that every star pirate in the Skyfire Camp had. Following Kai's instructions, he first found the locations of the two bombs and tampered with them.
[The explosion of such bombs cannot be prevented. The only way is to weaken their power.
But Mr. Qi, you must be clear that with your physical strength, even if the power is weakened, you will not survive being at the center of the explosion.
I can only help you find two, the other one is uncertain. 】
"Um…thank you Kai."
[Mr. Qi, you are the first human who made me experience what it feels like to feel ‘regret’ and ‘powerlessness’…]
Perhaps Seraphos was right to put Qi Heng under house arrest, Kai thought.
He should not be bound by human laws.
Top floor -
The door was not closed tightly. Was it intentional?
Qi Heng tightened his musket and moved closer with his back against the wall.
"As expected, immature worm queens are not important. It doesn't cost much resources, so I won't feel bad if they die.
Anyway, when you die, new insect eggs will be born and you can just raise them again.
Tsk tsk, so pitiful. I'm usually very nice to you and follow you wherever you go. How come you don't have the courage to come when it comes to something related to life and death?
Oh, what a pity! Three phenomenal bombs cost me a lot of my savings. It's such a waste to kill only one insect queen like you."
"You, you, don't try to fool me!
They have no obligation to risk their lives to save me.
You are the leader of the space pirates, you think it is too simple, right? "
After saying this, he snorted disdainfully.
"This shouldn't be the case... The Shadow Scorpion King and the Rainbow Butterfly, those two king insects are clearly..."
The male voice was puzzled, looking through something to confirm.
"Oh, you mean them, but unfortunately you caught the wrong bug, Star Pirate. They don't like me."
"I don't like you... Who do I like? The alpha named Midio?"
The little insect mother laughed out loud, "Mitiou? So that's what you all thought. Of course, no one would have guessed it if they hadn't seen him in person. They would definitely be surprised when they knew...ah! You have no moral principles!"
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing into flesh was accompanied by the smell of blood.
Qi Heng was so nervous that he almost couldn't help but break in.
That rubbish bastard!
"If it's not Midio, then who is it? The one who made Shadow Scorpion King and Rainbow Butterfly risk their lives to save you. When you die, you will really need him as a substitute.
Tell me, or it will be your right leg's turn."
“Don’t say it! Awooo! Arrogant yellow-haired guy! He really hit me hard! It hurts!
You stinky yellow-haired fellow, I will definitely repay you tenfold when I get out alive!"
"So noisy, I'd better kill you now. You're just a decoration, useless."
"I'm sorry to disappoint the honorable star pirate, hehe." The little insect mother said provocatively.
Qi Heng's heart was pounding! What did the little insect mother say?! Was she deliberately angering the star pirates?
"Haha, as you wish."
Qi Heng peeked through the crack in the door, his pupils constricted!
The sharp knife stabbed into the insect mother's heart with ruthless action.
If we don't stop it, the insect mother will die!
He pushed the door open suddenly, pointed the gun at the pirate's arm holding the knife, and pulled the trigger.
