Chapter 452 "The Green Caterpillar"
With just one glance, Ye Kai was severely injured—it's utterly outrageous!
In addition, Sun Wanzhong personally explained the extent of his aura.
This will only make Ye Kai more curious.
Just how strong is this person?!
He mustered his strength and tried to go forward again.
[Young friend, just stand there and communicate with me directly. This will save you trouble and prevent you from getting hurt.]
Yes, Mr. Sun.
Sun Wanzhong looked extremely haggard.
His body and back were covered in countless IV tubes and various testing instruments...
Those bright, piercing eyes suggested that he could hold on for who knows how much longer.
The two of them remained there for a full two seconds.
Those two seconds were absolutely breathtaking!
...seemingly unsure of what to say.
Ye Kai did so out of respect and fear.
Sun Wanzhong, on the other hand, was genuinely thinking about something.
"I have reviewed the files of the three candidates for Heavenly King that you submitted this time. Well done."
After saying that...
A waveguide image was transmitted remotely into Ye Kai's mind.
He saw the entirety of Terra, and it gradually zoomed in, enlarging...
Three coordinates were then displayed, all located within that "Southern Restricted Area".
Three treasures together?!
Sun Wanzhong even knows where they are?!
Wait, could this be a trap?
Why doesn't he capture such a powerful spirit himself?
[These three "quasi-disasters" seem rather weak to me.]
[Right now... your "Young Masters" faction's top leaders are the weakest.]
[Young friend Ye might as well capture these three; it would enhance your own strength and create a three-way balance of power.]
This old man has stopped acting altogether.
I might as well speak my mind and express my true feelings.
"Actually, I have a request, please...?"
Ye Kai is a straightforward person who doesn't like beating around the bush, so he simply states what he wants.
[You mean something about further "immersion," right?]
But he hadn't finished speaking.
Sun Wanzhong interrupted his thoughts with a wave of his hand.
For a moment, Ye Kai had the illusion that his brain had stopped thinking.
For a moment, I forgot what I had just been doing!
What terrifying power!
He's an absolute monster!
[I have one more task for you. Once you complete this one, you can continue soaking.]
[Mr. Sun, please be frank, what is the task?]
"The spirit clone will tell you later."
"I'm tired, you can go out now."
"Yes."
……
And so, Ye Kai himself didn't know how he got out of there.
When I came to my senses, I was already 10,000 meters in the air.
"Hmm~"
Latias repeatedly "asked" him where to go next...
It has the ability to refract illusions using its "glassy feathers" and the habit of transforming into "human form".
The one that Liu Jing entrusted to Ye Kai especially liked to transform into the form of "Liu Jing".
The only difference between them and the real person is...
It's probably that signature cat-ear hairstyle.
Latias the Maid
Explanation of the principles of the moves
Journalist Ladias
Nurse Ladias
Therefore, Latias really enjoys transforming into human form.
Ye Kai ignored Latias; he had more important things to do.
He already knew the task that Sun Laodeng had given him.
This top-secret mission is highly related to "homogeneous variants"!
When he learned the details of the mission, he was also taken aback.
As Old Deng said.
In the coming month, a "legendary catastrophe" will descend.
And the ability to predict the future is incredibly accurate.
It can be confirmed that it is a "different species" with the appearance of a "caterpillar"!
This sprite was unremarkable at first, but it quickly began to wreak havoc and cause great damage.
[There is something I don't know, and I hope Mr. Sun can enlighten me.]
Ye Kai communicated with Sun Wanzhong through the "waveguide photo".
[You mean to ask why I didn't capture this "catastrophe" spirit myself, right?]
[You might not believe it, but my true form has existed for over 50 years and I haven't seen a single wild "natural disaster" since.]
"..."
This can only prove one thing.
Even natural disasters are avoiding this supreme being among the "treasure beings"!
Once you encounter it.
That's the consequence of capture and enslavement!
Try to put yourself in their shoes.
If Ye Kai were one of these "divine beasts" or "phantom beasts," he would also avoid them.
Let's look back at the task itself.
The appearance of the "green caterpillar"... "Different species of the same kind"...
I doubt it; is the inner essence simply "Lie Kong Zuo"?
Regardless of the true nature of that elf, a new problem has arisen.
The world is vast, and there are countless green caterpillars.
Finding this individual is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
How could it possibly be found?
[Don't worry, little friend, it will appear soon.]
From that sentence onwards.
The waveguide image passed through the body and transformed into a "spiritual clone".
He appeared for only a moment, and then vanished without a trace!
The sudden appearance of terrifying pressure startled Latias!
They appear and disappear like ghosts!
[King Ye, please wait!]
[who?!]
A black dot is rapidly approaching from behind.
It's... a person?!
How could he keep up with Latias, evade Ye Kai's senses, and catch up?
Another humanoid monster!
This person must be a top-notch expert!
Then he told Latias to slow down.
Then a woman flew through the air and arrived within a hundred meters of him in an instant.
Can a trainer move at such speed simply by relying on their physical strength?!
[I am "Golden Wing," one of the ten descendants of Xiao Wangsun.]
"I wonder what message Special Envoy Jin Yi has to convey to me, Ye?"
[For this operation, that lord specifically requested that I act alongside King Ye.]
Tsk... So many people are watching me.
Oh well, as long as I get the chance to soak in it in the end, that's fine.
"Then the special envoy might as well sit behind me."
Jin Yi hesitated for a moment, but did as instructed.
The two sat on Latias's back and continued flying.
[Can you maintain that flight speed indefinitely?]
[Of course not, but maintaining it for 3 minutes shouldn't be a problem.]
3 minutes?
In a deathmatch between trainers, let alone 3 minutes, even 10 seconds would be a long time!
How strange!
The insectoids' physical abilities are so incredible!
If one can achieve "supersonic flight" using only their physical body, wouldn't that make them a "superman"?
Bug-type Pokémon may not be particularly outstanding among the 18 types.
But the "insect people" are quite different.
He is absolutely the purest "Insect Demon" among all-attribute trainers!
At that speed, a casual punch or kick could easily turn a person into a rotten tomato, exploding into a bloody mist!
Ye Kaiyue became increasingly wary of the "Insect Trainer".
This is a huge threat!
During the flight, Ye Kai scanned the entire body of the golden wing several times...
[Is King Ye very curious about me, sensing me so frequently?]
[Hmm...the material of your clothes is a bit unusual?]
That's strange, I can't sense anything.
[......]
She didn't try to hide anything.
A bug-human who has reached the level of "bugification" is an advanced version of a "bug demon".
Its entire body is covered with a chitinous carapace of extremely high density, comparable to an alloy.
Goldwing no longer needs "clothes".
In other words, what she presents is the most original essence.
That's awesome...
I don't know what method she used.
And "Shuying", which is like Limengze.
It hindered the insectization of the head.
She looks quite human and has maintained a slender figure.
It's still beautiful if you don't look closely.
After all, her carapace-like skin had a mirror-like, iridescent metallic sheen.
The whole person looked like they were wearing magnificent armor.
I found some real-world beetle images, and you can see that beetles have very ornate exoskeletons with all sorts of textures—nature's artistry is truly amazing!
Ye Kai, after all, surpassed her in terms of aura and was able to perceive her indifference and unease through waveguide.
[This is my last mission. I hope we can work together smoothly.]
[Don't worry, Special Envoy, that's natural. But there are so many caterpillars in the world, where exactly is our target?]
Please follow me.
……
Qushi Hongcheng.
Behind the Bug-type Gym, in the red pine forest.
"I wonder if King Ye has ever been to this place before?"
"When I challenged the national badge challenge, I must have come to Rainbow City, but this place... I've never been here before."
"Is that so?"
Was Jin Yi testing him?
Ye Kai would certainly not admit that he had been to Qin Ge's secret realm.
They would never admit to killing Xiaotian and Heilin here.
This is the origin of the "seven-day disaster".
That was a "secret within a secret"!
Hidden inside is an enormous mural; even a brief glance at it will bring the elves immense benefits!
Although that secret realm has now completely collapsed and disappeared.
"rustle……".
My footsteps tread through this red pine forest; the withered leaves are crisp, like potato chips.
The two remained silent the entire way.
"We've arrived. The 'Insect Nest Secret Realm' level is just ahead."
The Secret Realm of the Insect Nest?
A very fitting name.
Jin Yi walked quickly to an inconspicuous pine tree.
Raise your hand and tear off the bark, and you will see a bright green membrane at the base of the tree.
"King Ye, please."
"Please go first, Special Envoy."
There was no need for formalities; Jin Yi went inside first.
Passing through the light membrane, the secret realm was heavily guarded.
This place has become one of the most important assets of the Dragon Kingdom, in addition to the seven "Level 3 Secret Realms"!
After verifying their identities, the guards saluted them.
Ye Kai skillfully dismissed the guards.
The two then re-entered the high-speed rotating mechanical equipment, which opened up an artificial secret realm.
"Won't the special envoy introduce this place to me?"
"Alright, but it's a long story."
"Does King Ye have ever heard of a legendary trainer named 'Qin Ge'?"
Jin Yi speaks concisely and to the point.
Qin Ge's life story cannot be explained in just a few words.
But in her mouth.
He explained it clearly within two minutes.
This woman doesn't seem like a frontline officer; she's more like a secretary or someone with an administrative background.
"Actually, this Bug-type Elite Four member is from Rainbow City in Qu City, and of course, so am I."
“Countless people searched for this secret place in the red pine forest during the years Qin Ge disappeared, but all to no avail.”
"Last year, Qin Xiaotian, the Bug-type Gym Leader here, also died in the Seven Days Disaster. He was also a local of Rainbow City."
Xiaotian's original surname was "Qin"?
The information on the league's official website makes no mention of this.
Could it be that this is related to Qin Ge?
Ye Kai closed his eyes, sensing the rich elemental power here.
His eyes rolled around several times under his eyelids.
He thinks about things quickly.
It seems there's a lot more to this "Insect Nest Secret Realm" than meets the eye.
The two seemed to be chatting casually, but they never stopped walking.
Soon they arrived at the secret realm, at the nest where the giant butterflies lived.
The entire cave emitted a faint fluorescent glow.
Eggs, even pupae and cocoons, were everywhere.
Not only that, the nest of the three honeybees is also located here.
"The reason that lord assigned me to assist in this mission is because I am an insectoid."
Jin Yi then recounted the details of the mission.
She was diagnosed with "bug-human" constitution in her early years and has been eating bug-type Pokémon ever since.
Caterpillars, unicorns, and the like are some of the things she often eats.
"In other words, insectoids can change the direction of their 'evolution' through their 'diet'?"
"You could say that."
"You may take a look at these materials, King Ye. Of course, do not divulge them after you have read them, as they are alliance secrets."
"..."
For the next month, they will have to guard this secret realm.
According to information about the foreseeable future.
That "green caterpillar" will most likely appear here!
