181: Rushing into the eye of the storm

"What terrifying pressure!"

On the deck of the whale breaker, Song San was pressed down by the sudden Monarch-level aura, landing hard on his rear.

"It doesn't seem like a Lord-level. Could it be a Monarch-level Magical Beast undergoing a Breakthrough?"

Bai Ye also sensed the pressure and turned his head to look far into the center of the Storm Sea Eye.

His own strength was formidable, so he wasn't as helpless as Song San.

Watching the increasingly restless Swarm of Insects.

He couldn't help but click his tongue.

Combined with the various unusual activities of the Insect Nest Organization previously, the answer was obvious.

The Insect Nest Organization was using some method in the center of the Storm Sea Eye to breed a Monarch-level insect-type Demonic Beast!

"These lunatics. If only I had a Lord-level beast too..."

Song San clenched his fists, looking worriedly in the direction where the Deep Sea Mermaids had been.

Daring to cause trouble right under the nose of the Beast Tamer Association, did they really think they could contend with the Seventh-Tier President?

"Lunatics don't need a reason for what they do," Bai Ye said coldly.

"Then let's run! While there's still time!"

Just then, Bai Ye's Terminal rang.

He picked it up and saw it was an Emergency Communication from the Association.

"Bai Ye, can you hear me? I am Reno, the Minister of the Security Department of the Beast Tamer Association!"

Reno's anxious face appeared on the screen.

"Speak."

"Something has happened at the Storm Sea Eye. A Monarch-level Magical Beast is undergoing a Breakthrough. We suspect it's a Conspiracy by the Insect Nest Organization!"

"President Lu and the others are tied up. Ms. Lan Yin is rushing over to support you. You must not act rashly. Try to stall for time, or evacuate immediately and wait until Ms. Lan Yin arrives before making any further plans!"

"Got it."

Bai Ye calmly hung up the communication.

Wait for Lan Yin?

There probably wasn't time for that; the surrounding Insects were multiplying rapidly.

The dense masses of Gold-Devouring White Ants showed no signs of decreasing, surging madly toward them and completely blocking their retreat.

Xiao Lan's Ice Armor was getting thinner under the frantic gnawing of the Insects, and the repair speed was almost unable to keep up with the speed of their gnawing.

"We have no choice."

Bai Ye pointed at the endless Insect Tide and said to Song San.

"Brother Bai, are you suggesting..."

"infinite, target the Storm Sea Eye, full speed ahead!"

The Engine of the whale breaker roared, turning the bow and speeding toward the direction from which the faint Monarch-level aura emanated.

"Brother Bai, are we really going there?"

Song San looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, still feeling a chill in his heart.

Bai Ye sat on the chair in the Captain's Cabin, leisurely crossing his legs.

"There's nothing to fear from a Monarch undergoing a Breakthrough. Besides, if we don't go that way, we might have to face the Insect Tide head-on."

The whale breaker sliced through the waves, charging toward the center of the Storm Sea Eye.

The closer they got, the harsher the surrounding environment became.

Fierce winds howled, lightning flashed, thunder rolled, and waves dozens of meters high surged on the sea surface.

But the Whale Shen, being one of the top ten ships, remained steady as a mountain in the storm, without the slightest tremor.

"Brother Bai, look ahead!"

Song San suddenly pointed forward and cried out in surprise.

Bai Ye looked in the direction he pointed, only to see the silhouette of a ship appear on the distant horizon.

The ship's hull was covered in a thick layer of Black Fungal Mat, and various bizarre Insects were growing on it.

"It's the tiangong divine ark!"

Song San recognized the ship immediately.

"How could it have become like this?"

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. Did he even need to ask?

It was clearly controlled by the Insect Nest Organization.

Zhao Tianyu on the ship was probably already... "They're coming over!"

Song San shouted nervously.

The tiangong divine ark had spotted them and was charging toward them at an alarming speed.

"Prepare for battle."

Since they had encountered it, there was nothing left to say.

Coincidentally, he also wanted to see what kind of Monster could cause a Fifth-Tier Beast Tamer to suffer defeat.

A Fifth-Tier usually possesses multiple Lord-level beasts, or even Lord Intermediate Grade ones. How could they have ended up like this?

"Yes, Commander!"

Blue light flashed in the infinite's Electronic Eye. Cannon muzzles silently extended from the hull of the whale breaker, aiming at the "Ghost Ship" charging toward them.

"Brother Bai, the opponent has a Monster that can defeat a Fifth-Tier Beast Tamer."

Song San swallowed, looking at the increasingly close, Hideous Giant Ship.

"We have to fight, even if we can't win."

Bai Ye glanced at him: "It's too late for you to run now anyway."

The Ghost Ship arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.

On the bow, a figure wearing a Black-Robed Person and a hood looked down at them.

"Oh? There are still some that Slipped Through The Net?"

The Black-Robed Person's voice sounded like fingernails scraping glass, and he measured them with his finger.

"One Second-Tier, one Third-Tier. Truly courting death, daring to trespass here."

Standing behind him were Li Yan and others.

Every one of them was expressionless, with hollow eyes.

"Li Yan, you..."

Song San cried out in surprise when he saw them.

He never imagined that the famous Fifth-Tier Powerhouse in Blue-Eyed White Dragon City would turn into this state.

"No need to call out. They are all my Slaves now."

The Black-Robed Person cackled strangely, spreading his arms.

"Soon, you will also become one of them."

Hehe, whether they are Second-Tier or Third-Tier, he can control them all!

"Splash!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Massive Creature emerged from the seawater behind him.

The aura of Lord-High Rank made Song San almost unable to breathe.

"Is this the Monster that defeated Li Yan and the others?"

All color drained from Song San's face.

Just by looking at it, he already felt dizzy and faint.

It was simply too Sanity-Draining.

"Hehehe, are you scared?"

The Black-Robed Person appreciated the fear on Song San's face and let out a joyful laugh.

"Before my 'Insect Emperor,' all resistance is futile."

"What a Chuunibyou name."

Bai Ye swung the fishing rod in his hand, planning to use it as a weapon later.

"Are you the Person In Charge of the Insect Nest Organization's operation this time?"

"Hmm?"

The smile on the Black-Robed Person's face froze, and he looked at Bai Ye in surprise.

The Second-Tier Brat showed no fear whatsoever when facing his 'Insect Emperor.'

On the contrary, he dared to mock him?

"That's right, I am Tíanquán, one of the youngest and most talented 'Seven Stars' of the Insect Nest Organization."

Tíanquán entered the standard Villain Answers All Questions Segment.

Bai Ye squinted his eyes as much as possible, preventing the opponent from seeing his Slightly Pink Pupils.

It was quite simple to use the Phantom Pupil to apply a bit of Psychological Suggestion.

"Kid, seeing as you have such guts, I can give you a chance: voluntarily offer up your body, and I will allow you to join our great Insect Nest."

Tíanquán greedily scanned Bai Ye's Physique.

The young man's body emitted an aura that made his Insects drool.

If he could raise Insects on his body, he would definitely be a perfect Vessel!

"W. C., what do you Old Bastard want to do?!"

The fearless Bai Ye widened his eyes and looked at Tíanquán with a look of terror!
