Gunfire continued in succession, and under the joint attack of Old Bar and Su Xiao, Karlo only lasted for thirty seconds. Old Bar grabbed Karlo’s head, the high temperature from his hand incinerating Karlo’s head. Karlo screamed miserably and fell to his knees a few seconds later. Su Xiao threw the Spider Queen to Bubu Wang and walked out from the tunnel. Old Bar slumped to the ground, his body temperature about to reach the point of self-destruction. Su Xiao looked at Old Bar. "Sorry, I should say pleasant cooperation instead." Su Xiao walked to Karlo’s front, Karlo was left with only a torso and half a skull, like a piece of charred wood, with smoldering embers on his scorched body. "What foolish thing have I done?" Karlo began to speak, laughing self-deprecatingly. "The Original Seed has clouded my mind; a transplanted Original Seed is too unstable." Karlo looked up at Su Xiao. Su Xiao didn’t speak and crushed Karlo’s head with a foot; the other party talked too much and liked to theatrically reveal secrets. Some things you just need to know yourself, no need to speak them out. "It’s time to fulfill your promise." Su Xiao kicked aside Karlo’s body, no Scarlet Card or Treasure Chest appeared on the ground. "What do you want to know?" "I want to witness the ritual with my own eyes." Hearing Su Xiao’s words, Old Bar’s pupils contracted, but then he understood. "Okay, but we’ll have to return to the tribe; the ritual can only be conducted at the back of the mountain. Do you want to become a Blood Vine Warrior?" "No, I just want to witness the ritual." Su Xiao had no interest in becoming a ’bomb’. Although Blood Vine Warriors had great combat strength, they were too unstable. "Alright, I’ll find a tribesman to conduct the ritual." Old Bar got up and after a moment of hesitation said, "My ally, can I trust you?" "You have no choice if you don’t want to be blown to pieces." Su Xiao guessed what Old Bar was about to do. As eager as the other was to get the Regeneration Egg, it must be able to suppress the deficiencies of the Blood Vine Warriors. "Help me buy five minutes. After we return to the tribe, I’ll let you witness the secrets of the Yasenman Tribe, all the secrets." Before Su Xiao could answer, Old Bar had already taken out a transparent egg, which was the Regeneration Egg. The Regeneration Egg could heal mortal injuries. Of course, Su Xiao wanted this thing, but compared to the rewards of a Hidden Task, this was nothing. Old Bar’s chest gradually cracked open, revealing a red sphere in his abdominal cavity, the high body temperature was because of this sphere. The Regeneration Egg was crushed, and the transparent liquid dripped onto the red sphere. Old Bar took a deep breath, seemingly pulling the surrounding air into his abdomen. Old Bar let out a long breath, and the surrounding air became scorching hot. Blood-red vines sprouted from Old Bar’s body, breaking through the skin and flesh, enveloping him inside, and in less than a few seconds, Old Bar turned into a vine cocoon several meters high. Old Bar was very vulnerable now; Su Xiao could easily deal with him with a single slash. Old Bar revealed such a weak state out of necessity; he was on the verge of self-destruction, and even if he didn’t trust Su Xiao, he had to start absorbing the Regeneration Egg. As a collaborator, if Su Xiao didn’t do something now, that would indeed be utterly foolish. Don’t be deceived by Old Bar’s current low posture; whether this old guy would honor his promise after recovery was unknown. He took out the remaining few Special level Alchemy Bombs, and in Su Xiao’s hand, they gradually turned to dust, scattering into the air. In the lower layer of the Mother Nest, on a biological tissue-formed meat wall. The screen on this meat wall was precisely of Su Xiao and Old Bar; it was a unique monitoring method of the Insect Tribe. Ada held a peculiarly shaped fruit, taking a big bite of it, the sweet juice bursting in her mouth. Ada was watching intently at the ’screen’ on the meat wall; she saw everything from Old Bar’s and Karlo’s battle to Su Xiao suddenly drawing his gun. The continuous reversals made Ada slap the table in praise; the basic trust between people had already been flushed into the sewer in that tunnel. Asking herself honestly, if Ada had to choose, she might choose to help Karlo, even though she knew the rewards would be less, but she disliked Old Bar, that cunning old fox. Ada was the kind of person who acted based purely on personal preference because she had no specific goals or obsessions of any kind. Ada and the Insect Girl watched with rapt attention until Su Xiao took out the Alchemy Bombs, both of them knew the final winner would be Su Xiao. "Ah~, a contest between two cunning old foxes." Ada took a bite of the fruit in her hand, the sweet juice trickling down her lips. "You humans are so complicated, what purpose do these three guys actually have?" The Insect Girl was in a state of confusion, the two girls’ minds weren’t very deep, otherwise they wouldn’t have become friends crossing racial boundaries. Ada sorted out her thoughts and said, "Karlo’s goal is to fully seize the body and return to some place, Old Bar wants to gain a longer life to control the Yasenman Tribe, as for the one holding the knife, it’s unclear~." Insect Girl suddenly understood, pounding her right fist into her left palm. "I see, looks like I have a lot to learn, but Ada, I just received a solicitation from some entity, and I’m hesitant about whether to agree." "Yes, the same place as you. If I agree, I’ll lose some abilities, some will be enhanced. According to that entity, it will give me a profession called Insect Tribe Awakener, probably simplifying the Mother Nest, losing the explosive soldier ability, specializing in powerful insects. Overall, I can become a bit stronger." "I won’t give my opinion, as a friend I can remind you, that place is dangerous, danger beyond your imagination." Ada adventurously gave Insect Girl some hints, don’t underestimate this hint, it was already skirting the edge. Insect Girl chuckled softly. "Dangerous, huh~. The Void is more dangerous now since that Sword Devil appeared, all the kings in the Void have either submitted or been killed." Ada kept silent, there were things she couldn’t say, both for Insect Girl and herself. "I’ve already agreed." "Only by agreeing can we adventure together, you’re my first friend, I don’t want to be separated from you, I’ve lost too many family members and don’t want to lose my only friend." A ripple surrounded Insect Girl, and she gradually became aware of the existence of Reincarnation Paradise. After a long time, she opened her eyes. "In six days, I will leave with you, by that time the Mother Nest will disappear." Insect Girl patted Ada on the shoulder. "Don’t worry, as long as we don’t go to the Black Forest to court death, we can safely pass these six days, I’ve got you covered." Insect Girl patted her chest, her tone already similar to Ada’s, it was impossible to tell she was once a Queen of the Insect Clan. Ada sighed; she actually didn’t want Insect Girl to enter Reincarnation Paradise, she fully experienced the law of the jungle there. But entering Reincarnation Paradise provided a chance to quickly grow stronger, so Ada didn’t help Insect Girl make a choice, allowing her to choose for herself. Since Insect Girl had already chosen, Ada decided to team up with her to face the dangers ahead, as Insect Girl was also her first friend. "Don’t be unhappy, people in Reincarnation Paradise can’t all be as strong as that guy, right?" The insect pointed to Su Xiao on the screen. "No, it’s rare to see such a freakishly strong Cunning Old Fox, as long as we don’t provoke him, there’s so many Derivative Worlds, chances of meeting him again are not high." Insect Girl’s heart tightened, "not high" meant there was still a possibility of meeting. "If we’re really unlucky, there’s still a chance, but don’t forget I am the Goddess of Luck, rest assured." "Ah, ah, got it, counterfeit Goddess of Luck." Follow current novᴇls on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵 "I’m the real deal, you flat-chested girl." Hearing the term flat-chested, the two antennae on Insect Girl’s head stood up. "You’re the flat-chested one, although, although~, in total there’s still something to squeeze out." "Really, it seems your wrist strength is pretty good." Insect Girl gritted her teeth and pounced at Ada... The vine cocoon cracked open, and Old Bar crawled out, the vines on him disappeared, his body temperature dropped to around 50 degrees, his appearance returning to its original state. "My friend, you’ve worked hard." Old Bar gritted his teeth, he had already noticed the bombs inside his body, although they were all mini-bombs, there were thousands of them and could blow him to pieces in an instant. "It’s nothing, my ally." Su Xiao showed a gentle smile, Bubu Wang sympathetically glanced at Old Bar, knowing that when its owner showed this smile, there usually wasn’t anything good. Old Bar took a deep breath, the situation had turned, before he used a compass to threaten Su Xiao, now Su Xiao was threatening him with bombs. "I will fulfill my promise, to let you witness the ceremony, as a return..." Old Bar didn’t finish his sentence before Su Xiao nodded. Removing the bombs was, of course, impossible, he would at most not detonate them, the Special level Alchemy Bombs were too many in Old Bar’s body, in his blood, in his bones, it’s impossible to remove them all. The two headed out of the Insect Nest, Su Xiao nearing the secret of the Yasenman Tribe. "Previously, I forgot to ask you, what is the Original Seed?" Hearing Su Xiao’s question, Old Bar paused. "The Original Seed is the foundation of a Blood Vine Warrior, it’s also a ’ticket’." "Yes, a ticket to the Black Forest, without a certain number of Original Seeds, entering there is certain death."
