Chapter 549: Chapter 403 Insect Race Great Internal Conflict_2

“Of course, it’s not that enhancement potions are useless, if we can obtain these mushrooms in large quantities, we could develop even better potions…”

“There are also ones that enhance the ‘Divine Attribute’, a kind of blue mushroom, the hope of a universal 12-point Divine Attribute for everyone, might just be here… Everyone knows what the concept of a universal 12-point Divine Attribute means right.”

The members of the council in the back began to converse with each other.

Now with the addition of a coral island producing resources, it is barely enough to support a Level 3 civilization for everyone.

But after the population increases, the resources will still be somewhat insufficient.

And the improvement of the Divine Attribute is the slowest; it usually requires Level 4 to reach 12 points of God…

...

A universal 12-point Divine Attribute means that everyone would be able to understand engravings, which represents a grand leap in the “elite route.”

Lu Yuan then said: “Our investigation team even discovered a fungus of legendary status, whose function is… to provide opportunities for sudden enlightenment and inspiration? You should know the preciousness of this thing…”

“We do not exclude the possibility of higher quality, epic level, immortal level mushrooms!”

The photo is very blurry, taken by a drone.

This fungus has a white stem and a brown cap, looking quite ordinary on the outside, but with a peculiar halo. This phenomenon of idealist interference is a clear sign of the exceptional quality.

A Rat Artisan from the rear base camp, upon seeing the photo, immediately went crazy: “Is this… a Naked Colorful Mushroom? Oh my God, you guys are too lucky!!”

“I heard the price of this thing… it’s priceless!”

“After eating this magical mushroom, one will see vivid colors, constantly changing patterns, and also feel the passage of time differently, it could become extremely slow or incredibly fast, and the surrounding space also becomes strange, as if everything is constantly changing. From this arises a peculiar inspiration… Although it is a hallucinogenic type of inspiration, it’s still inspiration no matter what!”

He excitedly shouted: “Here’s what we’ll do, I’ll pay! You get it, and I’ll buy it immediately! The Shu Mi Dam Civilization will purchase it in unlimited quantities! 100… no, 200 Spirit Essence per mushroom!”

The expressions of these Rat Artisans were simply insane.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

They even took out a mirror and began to communicate with the leaders of their own homes.

The price of consumable items is usually one-fiftieth of the equivalent level equipment!

200 Spirit Essence per mushroom is actually a very inflated price.

“Mouse Master, doesn’t this thing have side effects?” Lu Yuan was somewhat speechless, “What if someone gets addicted to the drug, or their mind stops functioning properly?”

“Heh, you don’t understand.”

“The side effects can be mitigated with technology, otherwise what’s the point of developing that biotech?” the Rat Artisan replied irritably, “Do you understand the joy of having inspiration from taking drugs? If it were our Shu Mi Dam Civilization, we would have sent the army to snatch those Naked Colorful Mushrooms long ago, we wouldn’t be as hesitant as you… Hurry up and grab them, go to war with the Insect Race! Then take your Spirit Essence, I want inspiration!”

Lu Yuan was immediately at a loss for words, naturally, I don’t understand… I just need to practice abstinence to have inspiration, who needs this damn mushroom?

That Naked Colorful Mushroom was detected by reconnaissance teams in a crack at a depth of eighty thousand meters, using drones.

Even a glance at it caused the detector to be smashed by insects.

Of course, his “Greedy Demon God” ability did have the capacity to go deep… but for the things humans have discovered, it’s really difficult for him to blatantly embezzle it, and if it causes chaos among those ancient insects, the consequences could be troublesome.

200 Spirit Essence… is also not that worthwhile…

Another video clip was played on the screen.

A group of caterpillar-like insects was maintaining a mushroom forest, secreting a green viscous liquid similar to insect glue from their glandular bodies.

These precious fungi absorb the insect glue and geothermal energy to grow robustly.

This is similar to termites on Earth, which cultivate a type of fungus called “Black Spirit Ginseng”; and above termite mounds, “Chicken Mushroom” often grows, which are quite expensive on Earth.

Similarly, these Phenomenon [Insects] also cultivate fungi, and the output of Phenomenon Level is naturally extraordinary.

“Based on the current observation results, the extraordinary resources in this Insect Race breeding base can enable more than ten million people to easily advance to Level 7. That is, the current highest level, Field Master.”

“Even if your aptitude is poor, you can still pile up with resources…”

“There are also Naked Colorful Mushrooms that inspire, and various fungi that enhance the body and the eyes… If we can sort out this hellish place, other remnants of civilization would seem like kindergartens.”

This conclusion was utterly shocking to everyone present.

While humans are struggling for survival, past civilizations had actively bred these dangerous species!

Even utilizing the unique traits of the Insect Race, letting them fight among themselves, unable to overcome each other, continuously providing output.

What concept is this output…

Even more terrifying is the fact that such a civilization ultimately perished.

For a while, everyone was simply holding their breath, not knowing whether to cry or laugh—humans are currently in sight of a gold and silver mountain, yet unable to mine it, because this Abyssal Rift, with its multiple layers, might be ten times larger than Earth’s surface! And the number of insects within it is over a trillion!

This feeling is truly subtle and shocking.

“In summary, since we’ve confirmed that these creatures won’t easily climb out, we cannot rashly give up this opportunity.”

“The closer to the surface the insects are, the weaker they are in combat, we can start by finding a Mushroom Forest…”

Suddenly!

Lu Yuan was halfway through speaking when he suddenly heard a series of “beep beep” alarm sounds, the ground began to tremble slightly, and even the ceiling started to shake!

“What happened?!”

“Report! A huge melee broke out among the insect populations inside the Crack!”

“It seems that the Magma from below is surging up, there might be a minor Volcanic Eruption!”

Lu Yuan’s pupils dilated slightly, this meeting could no longer continue: “All personnel temporarily evacuate the fortress, scientists enter the Sky Fortress. Soldiers, transport the valuable equipment.”

“Deploy drones for Detection!”

“Soldiers be ready for combat at any moment!”

…

The military moved very efficiently, the scientists evacuated orderly to the Sky Fortress. The earthquake was not so intensive, and there was no collapse of buildings.

Over a hundred small drones buzzed into the Crack.

The rocks between the earth’s crust and mantle were damaged, and a large amount of red-hot Magma gushed up. Different populations of Insects fought in a frenzy!

Biting and tearing at each other madly!

The air, already with a scent of sulfur, was tainted with Liquid Acid and the smell of blood.

The grand melee between these legions was breathtaking, with all sorts of Flame Ejection, acid, poison gas, every technique employed, forming a murky fog.

Some of the super-individuals living in the depths were like Godzilla, weighing up to a million tons, their battles against each other making the ground tremble with each hit.

In just a few hours, the entire Crack turned into a sort of meat grinder, littered with corpses, viscera, and mucus splattered on the rocks.

The remaining few fought fiercely without fear of death.

Lu Yuan’s face turned ashen, such a sight of massive deaths happening every moment, was indeed a bit… nauseating.

He finally understood why the majority of the Insect Race were pushovers…

“This is not the way to breed poison.”

In this battle, perhaps over 90% of the Insect Race might perish, and the newly-born batch, aren’t they pushovers?

But the small part that survives could grow to become “Poisonous Insect Kings”, truly the older they become, the stronger.

“Even… surpassing the limits of the Insect Race itself is not impossible.” Lu Yuan swallowed nervously.
