The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 60 - Sand Werewolf Leader
Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Sand Werewolf Leader
Chapter 60 -60 Sand Werewolf Leader
“They’re here! Only level 10, no boss.”
The divided needle erosion insects became Bai Yi’s mouthpiece, serving as a reminder.
“Zhan Yi, you and the swarm go first!”
*There would probably be a fierce battle today. If Zhan Er were to strike now and run out of energy later, that would not be good.*
As for Nong Si, she was still floating in mid-air, observing the array with the help of a few beetles.
The skeletons under Zhan Yi surged forward, beginning their slaughter under the faint spore fog that covered the swarm.
On the other side, Bai Yi did not show weakness either. The attributes of the Forest Wolves weren’t considered outstanding, and they were easily crushed under the 2nd Rank level suppression of the Poison Blood Beetles.
For maximum benefit, Bai Yi specifically controlled the force, allowing the swarm to focus on inflicting damage rather than pursuing kills.
Half-dead Forest Wolves were left behind, ceasing to breathe under the spores of the Fungus Umbrella.
[Current Difficulty Level 16, Wave 2: lv.10 Young Sand Werewolves *400]
“Hmm? Beastmen?”
“First goblins, then Slimes, and now finally the beastmen…”
*Bai Yi’s heart was stirred, and she immediately had the idea of capturing one for observation.*
The white light representing teleportation dimmed, and Bai Yi saw the appearance of these Sand Werewolves.
Emmm…
*She could only say that it was a bit different from what she imagined.*
Their heads weren’t beast heads like traditional werewolves; instead, they resembled the kemonomimi… beast-ear boys from many animations.
But their lower bodies were like wolves standing upright, with reverse-bent legs and slender arms.
*It was…*
*a beauty of Fishman and merman hybrid.*
*Like those human upper bodies with fish tails or human legs with fish bodies.*
They held a bone club with what seemed like a stone chip attached at the top—it looked like it should be considered a stone axe.
*Kind of.*
Before this group of wolfmen… or perhaps they should be called Werewolves, could react, the swarm had already found their targets.
Under the coordination of the swarm consciousness, 200 beetles were not at all chaotic, each precisely colliding with one werewolf.
The level 10 werewolves could not withstand the sharp limbs of the beetles.
Each targeted werewolf only saw a shadow enlarging before their eyes, and before they could react, they felt intense pain in their limbs.
They collapsed, exhausted.
The Sand Werewolves “who luckily” escaped the first wave of attacks noticed the insects that “killed” their companions and didn’t retreat in fear.
On the contrary, their eyes turned blood red, and they raised their axes to strike at the charging beetles.
But a stone axe was still a stone axe, lacking specialized rope binding, relying entirely on intuition to wield.
Even if occasionally, a beetle failed to dodge and was struck by a stone axe.
Before that werewolf could smile, the blood splatter from the beetle’s body made him and his companions grimace in pain.
“Too fragile…”
In her territory, Bai Yi shook her head, feeling that these beastmen were far too different from the strong and fierce ones she imagined.
However, Bai Yi thought this might have something to do with level limitations.
At just level 10, these werewolves were indeed a lot stronger than the original version of Nong Si, the peasant woman.
Not to mention, just in terms of attributes, their total value was 5 points higher than the peasant woman.
And she was a mutated peasant woman with extra boosted attributes!
If it weren’t for Bai Yi’s beetles crushing them at a 2nd Rank full level, these werewolves could indeed have been formidable foes.
“Should I capture one to extract the gene?”
“If I could extract any kind of humanoid gene, that would be great.”
But this group was too weak; to extract a gene, capturing a mini-boss-level werewolf would be more reliable.
The one in the last wave would be perfect.
With an order issued through the Swarm Network, a few 1st Rank beetles separated from those patrolling the territory, heading toward the refresh point.
Turning her attention back to the swarm at the refresh point, the fallen werewolves were already completely parasitized.
The teleportation array lit up again, refreshing the next wave of monsters.
[Current Difficulty Level 17, Wave 3: lv.12 Adult Sand Werewolves *400, lv.15 Sand Werewolf Captain *1]
[Current Difficulty Level 18…]
[Current…]
After several waves, Bai Yi safely encountered her target.
[Current Difficulty Level 21, Wave 7: lv.15 Sand Werewolf Knights *300, lv.20 Sand Werewolf Leader]
Though the enemy numbers seemed to have decreased, the Sand Werewolf Knights were actually a Sand Werewolf riding on their blood relatives.
—this was what Bai Yi deduced from the names.
In Wave 5, the refreshed enemy names mentioned mutated sand wolf blood relatives, resembling the Forest Wolves from the first wave, but significantly larger.
They didn’t have much intelligence; the panel showed a red rare talent.
This granted the blood relatives more powerful attributes but deprived them of intelligence, adding a chaos buff.
The Forest Wolves ridden by these knights were undoubtedly blood relatives as well, just un-mutated.
They didn’t have strong attributes but exchanged that for shared intelligence with the riders.
These Wolf Knights were much more skilled in combat tactics and strength than their “predecessors.”
The leader was even closer to Bai Yi’s vision of a werewolf—burly and fierce-eyed.
Except for having a human head.
Each knight held a wide iron sword, and seeing the swarm unmoving, they actually charged at the swarm actively.
Their momentum gave a faint sense of unity.
Bai Yi planned to use her usual tactic, having the beetles accumulate to take out each Wolf Cavalry individually, and then deal with the leader last.
The beetles were already in front of their targets; they could see the startled faces of the knights and foresee their bruised futures.
But at that moment, the leader and his mount simultaneously howled loudly.
A strange blood-colored light enveloped the Sand Werewolf Knights, enabling them to react at the crucial moment.
Their iron swords spun, plunging into the beetles’ bodies.
The Sand Werewolf Leader’s mouth widened in a grin, as if already seeing victory.

But things went wildly in an unexpected direction for him.
It turned out the liquid flowing from the insects wasn’t blood but some acid produced by those damned Mages!
No!
*The insect blood was actually that acid?!*
How could such creatures, monsters crawling from hell, exist in this world!
Unconsciously, the Sand Werewolf Leader found himself thinking of the terrifying Hell Devil preached by the Church Court, a figure they loathed.
*These were even more wicked than a Hell Devil!*
Oh, Wolf God above!
Even when pierced by swords, those disgusting insects didn’t die!
They even struggled to splash that hellish blood onto his kin!
Wait!
What was this!
Before recovering from the shock brought by the Poison Blood Beetles, the Sand Werewolf Leader saw his kin beside him involuntarily convulsing.
White filaments sprouted from their mouths and noses, madly waving in the air like abyssal tentacles.
*Even scarier than the tentacle monster he encountered in a mine as a kid, which…*** him around!*
No, no!
*There was something wrong with this fog!*
The Sand Werewolf Leader finally realized the oddity, but while it was possible to target and kill the insects, the fog…
How could one kill fog?
This wouldn’t do; he couldn’t wait to die here!
An unusual feeling in his chest warned the Sand Werewolf Leader; he placed his left hand on his blood relative’s forehead. His mount immediately understood his meaning and rushed toward a group of needle erosion insects on the edge of the white fog that hadn’t joined the battle.
In his experience, Insect Clan leaders were usually Mother Insects, and Mother Insects tend to be the most vulnerable!
Unfortunately, Bai Yi’s needle erosion insects were not Mother Insects nor powerless.
On the contrary, they were stronger than the Poison Blood Beetles!
