Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 201 - 158: Who is the Insect?_2

"Was that white mold body also released by it?" the female officer asked, still shaken.

"Not sure, but the strength of these insects really is subversive," Wu Hen said.

Wu Hen had thought that as someone who had stepped out from the Scroll Realm, he could strut across any otherworldly realm, but after witnessing the terrifying mold transformation ability of Red Zhe, and after close contact with the tyrant tiger armor, Wu Hen realized that what Otherworldly Dust lacked the least was military power!

Just like Wang Rui said, the insects evolve very quickly. If this ability were applied to otherworldly insects, their terrifying racial advantage would allow them to fight thousands, and with the short evolutionary cycle, humans calling some weaker civilizations reptiles may well apply to the reptiles of Otherworldly Dust.

Wu Hen seriously suspected whether it was possible that human ancestors were once dominated by alien insects, and so when they entered the Divine Realm of Nuwa, they simulated the insect race, preserved the insect gene characteristics, yet suppressed them into beings that live from dawn to dusk, fragile in form, and densely populated, all to satisfy the feeling of superiority over them!

Once the genes of insects and the physique of humans are on the same level, humans will truly become the synonyms for insignificance and vulnerability!

"Anyway, our group has also clung to life, and I never want to come to this damn place again. Thanks to both of you for your help, you are true friends of the Hao Clan!" Chang Huan said.

"We of the Nuwa lineage are actually friendly as well and would like to make friends with you," Wu Hen said.

"Hehe, this is our spiritual leader of the Nuwa lineage, the Heavenly Light who made the Longevity Sect retreat in fear all by himself," Wang Rui immediately started boasting for Wu Hen.

"You don’t like the Longevity Sect either?" Chang Huan asked, his face lighting up with surprise.

"It’s more than just dislike, we just killed one of their Dao Masters who crossed the line," Wang Rui said.

"So it was you guys! I just heard the news, awesome! Those hypocrites from the Longevity Sect, if I get the chance, I’ll also take down their residences, a bunch of swindlers!" Chang Huan immediately burst into a tirade as soon as the Longevity Sect was mentioned.

It turned out that the Hao Clan’s Ark had also been infiltrated by the Longevity Sect, but thankfully the Hao Clan’s Ark had its own lofty ideals and the Longevity Sect only formed a small faction within them.

But even that small faction was a constant irritant, preaching under the guise of extending the life of every individual, in reality infusing ideas that abandoned one’s nature and violated the principles of ancestors, causing internal divisions.

"There are also the Poison Sub-humans, the Longevity Sect and the Poison Sub-humans are a nest of snakes and rats. The Longevity Sect’s underhanded deeds are basically carried out by the Poison Sub-humans, we’ve been tricked by them many times too," the female officer said righteously.

Hearing this, Wu Hen raised an eyebrow.

That was very close to what Li Feng had speculated.

The Longevity Sect and the Poison Sub-humans...

Could they really be in league with each other?

Even if not directly allied, there must be an exchange of interests.

One playing the good cop, the other playing the bad cop, forcing those weaker civilizations to unknowingly choose protection from the Longevity Sect. And for those who refused to submit to them, let the Gutter People, Poison Sub-humans, employ all sorts of filthy tactics to hinder their civilization’s development and target their elite members everywhere.

"Brother Hen, they make sense. Before you woke up to claim sovereignty, we suffered frequent harassment and disgust from the Poison Sub-humans; it was not extreme slaughter, and any conflict was more a clash between two different civilizations. But ever since you started expelling the Longevity Sect from our entire Divine Realm, the Poison Sub-humans have gone mad like rabid dogs, targeting our human elite," Wang Rui spoke up.

Those teams who were seriously injured at the station were the elites of the human elites. If they were attacked at such a level, it naturally indicated that more human Spirit Awakeners were suffering greatly in the process of gathering Yuan You.

Li Feng is the Chief; unless things became extremely dire, such matters wouldn’t be reported to his level.

It was clear that after Wu Hen expelled the Longevity Sect, the Poison Sub-humans indeed began targeting.

If it was just the Longevity Sect at odds with the Nuwa lineage and the Poison Sub-humans opportunistically acting that way, that too would have been understandable.

The people of Hao Clan’s Ark seemed to have encountered the same ploy, first infiltrating with a pretense of benevolence, convincing the civilization to believe in their Dao of Longevity, and then showcasing their status of the Longevity Sect in Red Port. Once one joined the Longevity Sect, certain Gutter forces dared not harass them anymore...

"So said, the Poison Sub-humans are more likely than not the fierce dogs raised by the Longevity Sect," Wu Hen nodded in agreement.

The reason Chief Li needed a year to plan was also to get a clear understanding of the full extent of Longevity Sect’s influence. On the surface, the Longevity Sect in Red Port seemed like a group of harmless and benevolent devotees, fostering relations and spreading the Dao of Longevity everywhere, as if their disciples were in every other Human Clan civilization. However, they couldn’t be as simple as they appeared; there must be a powerful force behind them providing support.

It was necessary to thoroughly investigate the forces behind them and uproot them entirely.

That way, in the final battle, they could firmly take down the Longevity Sect.

"Brother Hen, capturing this Death Omen Yuan You is truly no easy task. We should first gather some accurate intel in Infinite City, figure out exactly what that white Mold Body is, and how to counter it, before setting foot on Insect Island again," Wang Rui said.

"Hmm, then we can only return home," Wu Hen replied.

"Let’s go together. I have some connections in Red Port, and I’ll be punished if I don’t complete this mining task. Fortunately, my superiors have given me a fairly generous amount of time," Chang Huan offered.

"That would be perfect. We are really quite unfamiliar with this place, and since your Hao Clan’s Ark has spent more time in Red Port, we’ll be relying on your care from now on," Wang Rui said.

"Haha, I can’t guarantee anything for those of Nuwa Lineage, but you two are definitely esteemed guests of the Hao Clan. Without your righteous assistance, none of us would have been able to make it back alive," Chang Huan said.

...

A large group of people finally returned to Red Port without any mishaps.

It wasn’t that their voyage was particularly swift, but rather that they were pushed back by the Red Tide.

Wu Hen also noticed that the Hao Clan’s Ark was docked in an inner harbor location of Red Port.

Their entire Ark population was only around ten million, which was equivalent to the population of a single Silver Dome City.

However, they possessed advanced weapons, strong genetic makeup; men, women, elderly, and children were all capable of venturing out to battle, and every member was equipped with Combat Armor.

Earlier, some human Awakeners had made contact with the people of Hao Clan’s Ark. Their technology was locked to their civilization, unusable by those not of the Hao Clan... Such technology barriers, even if the technology was amiably made available, could not be learned by others.

Technology could not be exchanged, but alliances could be formed.

The powers in Red Port were complicated, and though it was predominantly inhabited by the Human Clan, the humans were divided into classes, with the upper class treating the Lower Seed People with the same indifference as they would other animals.

These days, the most common epithet Wu Hen and Wang Rui had heard was "Gutter People."

It was as if in a massive, bustling city where everyone lived on the surface, moving beneath the sunlight, only the Gutter People Clan, weak and numerous, liked to crawl around everywhere, stealing resources, spreading germs, and leaving traces that contaminated the clean air.

They shared characteristics very similar to those of sewage-dwelling species.

Dark corners could be found everywhere.

Their breeding rate was extremely fast, just like insect eggs.

Moreover, they carried on them contagious substances from Desert Dust. Once they died, these contaminants would also pollute the clean Spiritual Resources. When they died in groups, the foul stench they emitted could easily attract otherworldly anomalies, forming swathes of Evil Soil that were difficult to purify.
