The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 64 - Freebie for Blood Flesh
Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Freebie for Blood Flesh?
Chapter 64 -64: Freebie for Blood Flesh?
“That should be enough.”
Bai Yi uploaded all the freshly dug potatoes to the market and looked at Zhan Er, who had taken on the digging task out of curiosity.
“What, curious?”
Zhan Er’s face was full of confusion. She couldn’t understand why her mistress had said earlier that these potatoes would be an important weapon.
The potatoes seemed so ordinary. Although, like the rice, their reproduction speed was astonishing, this had become quite normal for her.
What could these potatoes possibly do?
Could they be used to smash people?
“Mistress, how can these potatoes be used as a weapon? Aren’t they just like ordinary potatoes?”
Bai Yi chuckled softly, glancing at the potato sprouts that had somehow buried themselves back into the ground.
“Of course, right now they seem unremarkable, or rather, I hope they remain inconspicuous, ideally completely unnoticed.
As for being a weapon, have you heard of bombs?
If you don’t dig them out, they’ll transform from an edible potato into an explosive bomb.”
Zhan Er gave up after a brief moment of imagination. She knew potatoes and bombs but couldn’t conceive how a potato could turn into a bomb.
Could it be that the potato vine could act as a fuse, lit and thrown?
*Zhan Er carried this doubt with her until today’s challenge began.*
Today’s challenge still involved two refresh points.
However, after yesterday’s battle, the number of Fungus Umbrellas had increased greatly, expanding the fog barrier by over thirty meters.
Even today’s refresh points were covered, filled with white mist from the Fungus Umbrellas.
*Thankfully, the Fungus Umbrellas had a certain level of intelligence and could be controlled.*
*Otherwise, it would be impossible to fight here, and even staying a bit longer could spell trouble.*
This time, to test the potatoes, Bai Yi personally went to one refresh point.
The other refresh point was assigned 300 needle erosion insects, more than enough for battle.
On this side, Bai Yi’s main body, along with Zhan Er and Nong Si, plus another 100 needle erosion insects and all 2nd Rank Poison Blood Beetles, were present.
Zhan Yi handled the Skeleton Soldiers and the remaining insect swarm, securing the territory.
A field of fully grown potatoes had already been planted on the ground, with intertwined roots forming a unique network of consciousness.
However, because individual potato plants were so small, even if hundreds of them connected, they couldn’t form their own consciousness.
But this was fortunate, as these Potato Mines were consumables. Bai Yi might have hesitated to use them if they developed consciousness.
As it stood, they were just integrated into the consciousness network and were controllable, which was good enough.

“Ordinary soldiers, let’s not waste the Potato Mines then…”
Bai Yi didn’t need to issue commands in the swarm consciousness; the needle erosion insects already knew what she meant.
Their speed was akin to the Impact skill of Poison Blood Beetles. Their wings, which should have been soft, now seemed like deadly blades.
No need for stings, the needle erosion insects hovered close to the ground, weaving among the goblins and dripping in red.
Hundreds of needle erosion insects acted like harvesters in a rice field, cutting down goblin after goblin like stalks, amidst wails.
*No, calling them stalks would insult the Endless Rice in Bai Yi’s territory.*
*At least the Endless Rice was taller than these goblins.*
In just three seconds, from one end to the other, there wasn’t a single goblin left standing.
However, because it was their first move, and some goblins were just unlucky, quite a few goblins died completely, not in time to be fully parasitized by the Fungus Umbrellas.
These became nutrients for the needle erosion insects’ reproduction.
The needle erosion swarms on the other side followed the same pattern, with not all insects participating in the massacre.
Those not involved settled on the bodies, laying eggs in their abdomens while biting the Blood Flesh to replenish their egg-laying energy.
*”It’s a pity these corpses will be refreshed away if not parasitized. I wonder if we could upload them to the market?”*
Bringing her main body along this time, Bai Yi remembered this detail.
“Let’s give it a try later.”
[Current difficulty level 23, wave 2: lv.17 Goblin Warriors*500]
As usual, the second wave lacked elite units.
In the swarm network, Bai Yi called two beetles observing the spectacle to bring over a goblin corpse. Its leather armor had a huge tear, nearly severed at the waist, no wonder it died on the spot.
When her hand brushed the goblin, Bai Yi’s eyes lit up.
“Holy crap, it really works!”
With a proficient operation, the corpse before her vanished.
In the market interface, a category suddenly appeared, featuring a goblin corpse.
*After a brief surge of excitement, Bai Yi calmed down, starting to ponder what this truly meant.*
*First, if all corpses could indeed be collected, it would surely represent a massive wave of resources.*
*At least, the future insect swarm wouldn’t have to worry about reproduction for a very long time.*
In a day, facing over four thousand monsters, even if they were small like these goblins, each provided fifty to sixty units of Blood Flesh.
*That’s Blood Flesh in the tens of thousands!*”
*Even for Bai Yi now, it was an income not to be ignored!*”
*But she also had to consider the worst-case scenario: after the challenge, would these uploaded corpses evade judgment and avoid vanishing?*”
*If they vanished once released after the challenge, all efforts would have been in vain.*”
*However, Bai Yi guessed that this scenario was unlikely.*”
*Even parasitism, such a low-level form of use, could evade judgment and permanently exist, so uploading should too.*
Thinking of this, Bai Yi started making arrangements in the swarm network.
The refresh point on the other side couldn’t manage with just needle corrosion insects, so they had to let the Fungus Umbrellas and needle erosion insects themselves consume as much Blood Flesh as possible.
Over here, the needle erosion insects continued their slaughters, while unfortunate dead bodies were carried by beetles to Bai Yi.
With just a touch, they could be uploaded, making it incredibly convenient.
Before the Fungus Umbrellas completed their parasitism, Bai Yi specifically had a beetle drag over a still-gasping goblin to attempt reading its gene.
But the results disappointed Bai Yi.

There were only two genes, one of them purely negative, the Dwarf.
The other gene was called Night Vision, which at least had some use. Bai Yi spent Magic Power to read it.
As the Fungus Umbrella completed the final parasitism, the next wave arrived as expected.
[Current difficulty level 24, wave 3: lv.17 Goblin Warriors*400, lv.17 goblin warriors*200, lv.25 Armored Goblin]
“Cyber Goblin!”
Bai Yi didn’t expect the first elite monster today to be such a big one.
Fully encased in an iron exoskeleton, with the steam engine on its back spewing thick smoke, its height doubled by the exoskeleton!
Actually reaching 1.8 meters! Taller than Bai Yi by a head!
The needle erosion insects once again charged into the array but deliberately avoided this armored figure, allowing it to burst out of the teleportation array.
The Goblin inside the armor knew that, despite his superior piloting skills, it would be almost impossible to kill these lightning-fast insects.
*His only hope of victory lay in the distance, where the fragile-looking human woman stood.*
*This was also the hint that appeared in his mind, as if directed by fate: if he could defeat that human woman, he would receive the blessing of the God!*
“Mother Goddess above! May the Mother Goddess grant her favor once more!”
Boom!
