175: Chapter 175 Queen of the Swarm, Call Me Daddy!

When Shen Gongbao heard Xu Xuan voice this idea, he let out a treacherous laugh: "My Lord's thoughts coincide exactly with this humble priest's."

Shen Gongbao's gaze was vicious as he looked toward the shivering Swarm Queen.

"Watch as this humble priest uses various means to torture her into submission, making her behave..."

Shen Gongbao gestured as he spoke, his expression becoming increasingly twisted, already preparing to use his methods on the Swarm Queen.

However, at that moment, Xu Xuan stopped him: "Wait a moment."

Xu Xuan looked at this tragically abandoned Swarm Queen.

"Have you noticed? Her current behavior is very strange, completely different from before."

As he spoke, Su Daji and Shen Gongbao began to recall.

Indeed!

How formidable was that Zerg Queen before?

Xu Xuan had only sent out Zhao Yun and the other three, yet she already knew Xu Xuan was coming to raid her home.

The Queen immediately led her people to relocate the nest.

And look at her now?

The Swarm Queen's eyes were filled with dullness, dread, and fear.

When Xu Xuan approached, the woman actually curled into a ball, showing a timid expression.

Was this still the majestic Zerg Queen?

Was this still the Queen who could control the Zerg Swarm and appear so calm and wise?

Her current appearance and the aura she radiated made her look like a three-year-old child...

It was as if she were a disabled child with intellectual deficiencies.

Think about it; she was a Queen before.

How could a Queen behave so cowardly and fearfully?

Xu Xuan had a bold guess, and having seen some films and shows, he knew some details about swarms.

Was it possible?

This was just Xu Xuan's own speculation.

This Swarm was actually composed of countless Hive Minds.

The reason this Swarm Queen could previously appear mature and steady, and mobilize thousands of insects...

...was because she was connected to countless Hive Minds, sharing a collective intelligence.

One Hive Mind was responsible for deploying troops, one for production and construction, and another for nurturing offspring.

If the Swarm was understood as a computer, each Hive Mind was equivalent to a different component.

Inside a computer, there is a CPU core calculator, a graphics card for rendering game visuals, a hard drive to store data, and a motherboard to connect all devices.

If explained according to this logic, wouldn't it be very easy to understand?

If the Swarm loses one Queen, they can immediately replace her with a second.

To them, it was merely discarding a motherboard and moving the graphics card, CPU, power supply, and hard drive to a new motherboard.

Anyone who has built a computer should not be unfamiliar with this.

His gaze fell upon the Zerg woman curled into a ball before him.

Xu Xuan reached out and pinched her cheek.

She immediately let out a low growl, like a puppy terrified to the extreme.

She was afraid, she was growling, and she was trying her best to warn the intruder.

As Xu Xuan pinched the tender flesh on her face, she suddenly opened her mouth and bit down on Xu Xuan's hand.

However, Xu Xuan's strength was at the mid-stage Peak Realm; when she bit down, it was painless and insignificant.

The former Queen of the Zerg stood before him like a little dog, biting Xu Xuan's hand while letting out whimpering low growls.

With a gentle tug, Xu Xuan pulled his hand back.

He saw a row of teeth marks on his palm.

Can you imagine someone with the appearance of a mature woman behaving like a child lacking intelligence?

The Zerg Queen before him truly amused Xu Xuan.

He glanced again at the wound on the Swarm Queen's chest; Shen Gongbao had only stopped the bleeding without fully healing her.

This Queen was like an injured puppy, both afraid and trying to put on a strong front.

Beside him, Su Daji was somewhat disappointed: "Great King, this abandoned Swarm Queen is probably useless now."

"Seeing her low intelligence, this humble priest also feels she is unfit for any important task."

Shen Gongbao also shook his head, feeling that this Swarm Queen was ruined.

After her mental connection was severed, her IQ was terrifyingly low; was there any use for her?

In Shen Gongbao's view, it would be better to just refine this Swarm Queen into a poison bug.

However, Xu Xuan was very patient. He took a bottle of healing potion from his pocket and placed it in front of the Swarm Queen.

A special fragrance wafted from the bottle, and the Queen's stomach began to growl.

She was currently heavily injured; if she could drink this potion, it should repair her wounds.

But this human before her was looking down at her with a condescending posture.

She didn't trust humans...

The Swarm Queen turned her head away with a stubborn look, refusing to accept food given in contempt.

Seeing the Swarm Queen being so unyielding, Xu Xuan didn't have the time to be polite with her.

"Drink!"

With that, Xu Xuan shoved the mouth of the bottle directly into the Queen's mouth.

She made muffled sounds, her eyes widening as she was painfully forced to swallow the healing potion.

Gulp, gulp, she drank it down.

Likely no one expected Xu Xuan to be so rough as to jam the glass bottle into her mouth.

Only when the recovery potion in the bottle was finished did the Swarm Queen cough violently.

Too rough!

Could this despicable human be feeding her some strange potion?

Within her terrified eyes, there was a hint of suspicion.

But soon, she found her stomach feeling warm as the medicinal power of the recovery potion began to surge, starting to repair the wound on her chest.

Even her damaged heart was rapidly being repaired.

Slowly, she realized that what Xu Xuan had just fed her was a healing potion.

This left the Swarm Queen very confused.

Why?

Why would this human save her?

Was she not already useless?

To be abandoned by the swarm meant certain death.

The Swarm was just that cruel; the entire existence of the Swarm was to eat, eat, eat!

Any individual that was not beneficial to the survival of the species would be eliminated.

Even if you were the Queen of the Zerg, even if you were the God of the Zerg, useless things could all be discarded.

In her simple little head, she was now just waiting for death.

The Swarm had heartlessly abandoned her. In the past, she was the center of attention, mobilizing countless Hive Minds. Now? Who was she? What was she worth?

Within her small mind, she could not understand the meaning behind Xu Xuan's actions.

Because she was just a useless empty shell, meaningless.

However, next, Xu Xuan spoke: "Go to the kitchen and bring a piece of raw meat."

"Yes!"

A Maid immediately delivered a large piece of wild boar meat to Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan directly tossed this piece of raw meat onto the Swarm Queen's face.

Smack!

Looking at the meat that hit her face, the Swarm Queen did not hesitate; she opened her mouth and began to devour it in large gulps.

She ate like a predator, licking up every drop of blood from the raw meat until it was clean.

Delicious!

Extremely delicious!

Previously, she had always stayed in the nest, waiting for other insects to feed her.

Army Ants would hunt outside and then regurgitate what they ate into her mouth.

In other words, this Swarm Queen had grown up eating second-hand food chewed by Army Ants.

This was her...

...first time personally using her own teeth to tear apart a piece of meat.

With the way she was gorging herself, where was any of the Queen's dignity?

At this time, Xu Xuan picked up a second piece of meat: "Want to eat?"

"Mm!" The Swarm Queen nodded vigorously.

Xu Xuan said with a mischievous intent: "If you want to eat, call me Daddy!"

"Daddy!"
