143: Use Li Shengyuan as bait to catch big fish!

Li Shengyuan and Yue Xiyan already understood that this was the Insectoid Beast Tide hunting for prey.

The deer herd tragically became their prey.

Such large-scale hunting, what they intended to do, was obvious with a thought.

It was nothing more than to provide a continuous supply of blood and food for the Insectoid Queen, thereby giving birth to even more powerful Insectoids.

Under the gaze of the two, the Insectoid Beast Tide continuously chased the deer herd, with the battle line even stretching for hundreds of miles!

And the deer herd was slowly being consumed.

The Insectoids' individual strength was not great, but their numbers were vast, ten times that of the deer herd!

Any single Insectoid was half as tall as Li Shengyuan, acting like machines, moving with instructions.

Like a military with strict discipline!

The two concealed their aura and followed behind the hunting Insectoids.

Several hours later, the large number of deer were all hunted by the Insectoids.

Not a single Insectoid stood out to command, yet all Insectoids orderly performed their own tasks.

This scene greatly astonished Li Shengyuan.

"I've long heard that Insectoids have strict military discipline, clear division of labor, and each one performs its own work flawlessly. Seeing it now, it's truly so."

Then he frowned deeply and said in a low voice, "Tens of thousands of Insectoids in a Beast Tide are already so terrifying. How much more terrifying would hundreds of thousands or even millions be? Such a formidable Insectoid army, if a war truly broke out, few armies could stop them!"

Yue Xiyan also nodded with a solemn face, "To destroy such a large Insectoid army, we must kill the Insectoid Queen. She is the central command for everything. If she dies, the Insectoid Beast Tide will naturally scatter!"

Li Shengyuan nodded. The Insectoid Beast Tide was currently transporting the deer herd, heading northwest.

With the hunt over, the next step was to take the spoils back to the Insectoid Queen for feeding.

Li Shengyuan smiled slightly, "Let's follow them. They can lead us to the Insectoid Queen!"

"Mm."

Yue Xiyan nodded. The two used magical artifacts to conceal their aura, quietly following behind the Insectoid Beast Tide.

Insectoids have poor eyesight, but their sense of smell and hearing are exceptionally keen. Li Shengyuan and Yue Xiyan couldn't get too close, lest they be discovered.

Along the way, the Insectoid Beast Tide could be said to have charged straight through. Whether it was demons or fierce beasts, they all made way for them from a great distance. If they were a little slow, they would be taken care of incidentally.

Li Shengyuan and Yue Xiyan followed for five days...

The Insectoid Beast Tide seemed tireless, not resting at all along the way.

When they arrived at a certain location, Li Shengyuan realized that they weren't tireless, but rather many had already died.

This scene greatly shocked Li Shengyuan!

Then all the blood and food were taken over by new Insectoids.

Finally, Li Shengyuan and Yue Xiyan followed the Insectoid Beast Tide to a range of rolling mountains.

From above, it looked like an ordinary ice field.

But upon entering, they discovered thousands of large and small passages!

The passages extended in all directions, leading to every possible destination.

Fortunately, they had followed the Insectoid Tide. If they had to find such an unremarkable place on their own, who knows how long they would have wandered.

The Insectoid Beast Tides returning here were not just the one Li Shengyuan had tracked; almost all of them were returning fully loaded!

Each Insectoid Tide took its own path, transporting all materials into the underground entrance.

At the same time, some cave entrances had Insectoid Tides continuously pouring out, these were all going out to hunt.

The entire place was like a strictly disciplined Insectoid army!

Before even entering the underground world, the sheer numbers were enough to make Li Shengyuan's scalp tingle!

"How long has this Insectoid Queen been breeding here? The number of Insectoids must be in the millions!"

Yue Xiyan's expression was also very solemn. With such a massive number of Insectoids, if there wasn't a good method, even if they rushed into the Insectoid's underground world, they might not even see the Insectoid Queen...

"What do we do next?" Yue Xiyan looked at Li Shengyuan, seeking his opinion.

"Hmm..." Li Shengyuan pondered for a moment, "To accommodate so many Insectoids, this underground world must be incredibly vast. If we truly go in to search, I'm afraid we'll get lost before even seeing the Insectoid Queen..."

"Moreover, it's too narrow inside, which isn't conducive to us hiding. It's uncertain if the Demonic Cult has other means inside, and we don't know how many powerful experts are hidden there. We definitely can't rush in recklessly..."

Yue Xiyan nodded in agreement. Fighting in someone else's territory, an unknown area, was a very uncertain action.

They didn't know how many powerful experts or traps there were. Going in would only lead to being beaten.

"Is there a way to make them come out on their own...?" Li Shengyuan fell into deep thought.

Ever since he came to the Far North, what he thought about was not just harassing the Demonic Cult's plan to use the Insectoid Queen.

Even if he couldn't kill the Insectoid Queen, he had to cripple her!

At this moment, Yue Xiyan calmly said, "To lure the fish, you must have enough tempting bait. The bigger the fish you want to catch, the bigger the bait must be!"

"That's right..." Li Shengyuan nodded repeatedly in agreement, "But where do we get this bait?"

After speaking, Li Shengyuan froze, looking up to see Yue Xiyan looking at him with calm eyes.

Then his mouth twitched slightly, and he scratched his head, giving a dry laugh:

"Sister Yan, you're not suggesting I be the bait, are you?"

"Now that we've successfully found the Insectoid Queen's location, and since we don't dare to go deep into the underground world anyway, it doesn't matter if we're exposed now!" Yue Xiyan looked directly at Li Shengyuan with calm eyes.

"The people of the Demonic Cult all want to deal with you. If you appear here, they will undoubtedly be extremely excited and come out in full force, just to kill you!"

"At that time, the defenses around the Insectoid Queen will surely be empty, and I can take the opportunity to strike at her!"

It was a good idea...

But Li Shengyuan just thought about being chased and beaten by many powerful experts, and his scalp tingled...

If they were all just third-rank, it would be fine, he could still stall them. The most important thing was not knowing if there were any second-rank fiends present!

Although the Ice Dragon King said there weren't any, perhaps he just hadn't seen them. Li Shengyuan also didn't know if he could withstand a full-power attack from a second-rank expert...

Yue Xiyan just looked at Li Shengyuan with calm eyes, not urging him to make a decision.

Finally, Li Shengyuan gritted his teeth and nodded heavily:

"Let's do it!"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yue Xiyan's mouth. This was the first time Li Shengyuan had seen her smile.

They say that when someone who rarely smiles suddenly smiles, it can be quite unattractive...

But... she was beautiful in that instant!

Noticing Li Shengyuan's gaze, the smile on Yue Xiyan's mouth instantly disappeared, and her gaze calmly shifted away.

Li Shengyuan again saw her ears instantly turn red, and he was slightly lost in thought, looking at her exquisitely beautiful profile.

Yue Xiyan saw that Li Shengyuan remained silent, and instead felt her profile being stared at by a fiery gaze, which made Yue Xiyan feel a little uncomfortable. The blush on her ears also spread to other areas.

Finally, Yue Xiyan took the initiative to speak, "Since we're going to do this, let's first discuss the specific process..."
