The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 74 - In and Out

Chapter 74: Chapter 74 In and Out

Chapter 74 -74 In and Out

Night had just fallen, and the territory had already undergone considerable changes.

Everything except for the mandatory ground-level glass greenhouse had been transferred onto You’s back.

Luckily, You had now grown large enough, with buildings securely placed on the trunk, supported by thick branches that grew downwards into strong roots.

The buildings were connected by wooden vines forming walkways, ultimately leading to Bai Yi’s tree hollow.

Fortunately, You could grow at will; otherwise, someone else trying to make such modifications would have to drill countless holes in the trunk.

Bai Yi, using consciousness control and her superpower, could freely manipulate the branches and vines into any desired shape.

You had no objections to this.

On the contrary, since becoming conscious, it rather enjoyed having more *life’s aura* around it.

Now, it no longer needed as much blood flesh for sustenance, and Crystal Cores provided limited enhancement, making it more beneficial to absorb magic power quietly and thoroughly.

Without any physiological cravings, combined with Bai Yi’s subconscious influence and the nature of plants emerging, You increasingly aligned with Bai Yi’s ideal of a life-loving character.

Apart from the buildings, two Insect Nests had also been successfully relocated, hanging higher up the canopy.

The number of needle erosion insects had grown significantly over the past two days, serving as Bai Yi’s main combat power. It was unfit to let them continue the rough life outside.

Thus, Bai Yi allowed them to build their homes within the canopy.

After all, needle erosion insects had evolved from Giant Bees and shared their architectural talent.

In fact, if Bai Yi desired, she could even have the needle erosion insects produce “bee” honey for her.

Whether they could still be classified as “bees” was debatable, but the craft remained.

Although the needle erosion insects’ aesthetics were somewhat lacking in guidance.

However, since the Insect Nest was mostly hidden in the canopy, Bai Yi couldn’t see it, so she let them be for the time being.

As the cost of renovating the territory, Bai Yi didn’t gather enough magic power value for the Fusion Devour entry until after dinner.

This was even after consuming today’s Superpower Crystals and allocating talent skill points to the Genetic Fusion result.

“Come on, let me see what this fusion will turn into this time!”

[Current gene matches well with the target, fusion requires the consumption of 950 magic power value, proceed with fusion?]

[Genetic fusion completed, congratulations on creating a new species: unnamed (2nd Rank / Gold)]

This fusion was much quieter than the previous two, with just a slight sway of the branches, it was completed.

But when it came to boosting combat power, this time was the most significant.

You’s body was, after all, just a giant banyan, incapable of directly “eating” prey like typical creatures.

It had to rely on root secretions of digestive liquid to break down the prey into absorbable nutrients.

The skeletal remains entwined by roots on the ground upon first arrival had come about this way.

Secreted digestive liquid corroded the blood flesh, turning it into a nutrient solution that the giant banyan could absorb.

This time, the enhancement focused specifically on that aspect.

Now, not only the roots but also the vines, trunk, and branches could secrete digestive liquid at any time.

Moreover, the strength of the digestive liquid was enhanced, becoming as thick as tree sap and capable of breaking down most substances, including steel.

As the giant banyan body secreting these digestive liquids, it naturally gained immunity to Corrosion.

Bai Yi immediately took out a Zombie corpse, wanting You to give a demonstration.

Of course, You wouldn’t refuse this extra little snack, especially as it was Bai Yi’s wish, so You promptly showered the Zombie with intensity.

The first to arrive were the roots closest by.

Two thick roots pierced upwards through the torso (piercing the front and back), and after a bit of wanton stirring within the Zombie’s body, they injected a thick liquid (referring to the digestive liquid) fiercely into the Zombie’s body.

The hanging vines from above weren’t left behind, moving in and out of every hole (referring to the wounds) in the Zombie, coating the entire body with the sticky substance.

It took just about ten seconds, and everything was over.

All that was left was a puddle of unidentifiable liquid (referring to digestive remnants) on the ground.

The whole process was smooth and fluid, drawing Bai Yi’s frequent nods of approval.

Compared to the needle erosion insect’s purely destructive Poison Liquid, You’s digestive liquid was more geared towards the digestion of biomass.

The needle erosion insect’s Poison Liquid’s effect on biomass had been confirmed during battles with animated corpses controlled by Karis.

While effective, it was certainly not as pronounced on bones and steel.

The only thing that puzzled Bai Yi was…

“Why does it feel like my units are growing stranger and stranger, with those secrete corrosive sticky liquids and all?

It’s one thing for the Swarm to be like that, but how come even You has started?”

But admittedly, the effect was indeed powerful.

*You can’t eat different styles after all*, so weird it might be!

Additionally, when you think about it, it had its own intriguing allure, a kind of powerful beauty.

“Mm, now that the genes are fully fused,

by tomorrow afternoon that patch of rice on the mountain should be harvested, and I should quickly get in touch with the Corpse King.

Last time, from his tone, it seemed like there were a lot of people who needed feeding over there.

But since his minions are all Zombies, they logically shouldn’t require that much food.

Could it be that he’s also raising other humanoid soldiers, like I’ve developed more Zhan Yi and others?

That makes sense though, having to face mute Zombies every day, anyone would go mad.

*Forget it, forget it*, there’s no point guessing here now, might as well ask about it later.

After all, I’m his food supplier. After that incident with Second Young Master Su last time, I can’t be blamed for paying a bit more attention to where the food’s going.

Speaking of which, it seems like Second Young Master Su hasn’t surfaced for quite a while, even that Zero has gone missing, what exactly are they up to?”

Bai Yi muttered to herself as she walked toward the tree hollow, catching a glimpse of orange (referring to the genuine color of oranges) out of the corner of her eye.

After spending so long in this forest, Bai Yi hadn’t seen such a high saturation of color in a while.

The sudden appearance of orange instantly captured Bai Yi’s attention.

Turning her head, she saw an orange cat lounging in the Cat Nest by the entrance of the tree hollow.

Noticing Bai Yi’s gaze, the orange cat lifted its head to look at her, tilting its head and giving a sweet “meow.”

“Meow~”

Bai Yi: “…?”

This Cat Nest, wasn’t it made just this afternoon?

How did it get a cat so quickly?

Did it work this well?

And how did this orange cat even manage to get here?

However, all of Bai Yi’s questions quickly evaporated, her attention wholly captured by the orange cat’s cuteness.

The orange cat sat curled in the Cat Nest, its eyes, the same color as its fur, reflecting faintly in the dim light, the orange fur immaculately groomed.

Its body was slightly plump, but not awkwardly so, instead appearing soft and cuddly.

*No, this urge to cuddle is overwhelming!*

Steeling herself, Bai Yi cautiously extended her little hand.
