Zhou Huai had a plan in mind.
If Insect Emperor Caesar's Soldier Beetle could promote more Hell-level Broodmothers,
One could produce thirty thousand a day.
Ten could produce three hundred thousand.
One hundred could produce three million insect eggs daily.
At this speed, sacrificing a Quasi-God Level in the future would not be a distant dream.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
He selected two more Soldier Beetle with Dragon Breath for promotion.
After consuming two hundred thousand Soldier Beetle, Zhou Huai once again obtained two Hell-level BOSS Soldier Beetle.
But to Zhou Huai's disappointment, the Hell-level BOSS Soldier Beetle promoted this time were all combat types.
They could not lay eggs.
"Would the probability of a Soldier Beetle that had devoured the Rock Spirit Giant Serpent promoting into a broodmother be higher?"
After all, the first broodmother was promoted from a Soldier Beetle that had devoured the Rock Spirit Giant Serpent.
Zhou Huai selected two more Soldier Beetle to try.
The result left him somewhat disappointed.
It turned out to still be combat-type Soldier Beetle.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
It seemed his broodmother breeding plan was ruined.
The probability of a Soldier Beetle promoting into a broodmother should be extremely small.
Being able to evolve into a broodmother on the very first try was likely because Zhou Huai had extraordinary dumb luck.
Now, there were only three hundred thousand ordinary Soldier Beetle left in the Zerg Space, along with a full six Hell-level BOSS Soldier Beetle.
Previously, Zhou Huai's heart ached over the loss of that Level 50 broodmother Leviathan.
Now he didn't feel it was a pity at all.
It's just that the Level is a bit low; currently, they are only Level 1.
To increase their Level, they could only do so by devouring the corpses of more exotic beasts.
Zhou Huai secretly calculated that during this period, besides continuing to release more Alien Parasite,
He also needed to enter dungeons to feed his bugs and improve their overall strength.
After finishing all this, Zhou Huai manipulated Insect Emperor Caesar to silently close the Zerg Space.
Zhou Huai did not plan to sacrifice the remaining three hundred thousand plus Soldier Beetle.
Lest he didn't have a single ordinary Soldier Beetle on hand when he needed to fight.
He couldn't send out Hell-level BOSS for everything, right?
That would make the target too big, and Zhou Huai would feel the pain if any were lost.
He silently picked up the sleeve with the White Butterfly and said softly: "Meet at the old place."
Maintaining Natsume Masahiro's appearance, he walked around leisurely.
Due to the explosion, there were many people on the street watching the commotion.
Zhou Huai silently shuttled through the crowd like this and quickly returned to the street outside Natsume Masahiro's house.
The surroundings were as quiet as usual.
Suddenly, someone said: "Where did you go today?"
"Why could I never reach you?"
The one speaking was naturally Madam Maeda, codenamed White Butterfly.
She was still standing in the shadows, wearing a hat that made it difficult to see her true appearance clearly.
Madam Maeda's tone carried a hint of reprimand.
The thing she worried about most was the unauthorized action of this Ever-changing Star Lord of unknown identity.
Yet Minister Wei had ordered that the Ever-changing Star Lord's Level was above hers.
She could only obey the other party's arrangements.
Zhou Huai smiled.
He did not answer White Butterfly's question.
Instead, he got straight to the point and asked: "What do you have to report to me?"
Seeing this attitude from the other party, White Butterfly secretly sighed in her heart.
She suppressed her dissatisfaction, and her voice returned to the calmness and professionalism expected of an intelligence officer.
"A small city two hundred kilometers northwest of Tokyo, a place called 'Chichibu', was suddenly subjected to strict lockdown this afternoon, and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
"Our intelligence personnel ventured inside to investigate and found that the entire city had become an empty city, without a single human."
Zhou Huai understood clearly in his heart.
Chichibu City, one hundred and thirty thousand residents.
I'm afraid that city became an empty city because Kujo Koji sacrificed all its residents in order to resurrect Qin Ze.
Moreover, judging by White Butterfly's tone, she seemed unaware of what had happened there.
Just as Zhou Huai expected, White Butterfly said next: "The whereabouts of the residents in that city are currently unknown. We speculate that the Kujo Family is planning a major move. Our people are investigating."
Zhou Huai, manipulating Insect Emperor Caesar, shook his head and interrupted her calmly.
"There's no need to investigate further; the residents in that city are probably all dead."
"What?"
White Butterfly's breathing paused abruptly, her tone carrying unmasked astonishment.
"There were a full one hundred and thirty thousand Sakura Country residents there, how could they all suddenly die?"
She looked at "Natsume Masahiro" before her with half-belief.
"Where did you get this news? Is it reliable?"
Zhou Huai calmly stated a fact capable of subverting the world pattern.
"Kujo Koji has already used the Pendulum of Life and successfully resurrected an SS-Rank Professional, at the cost of those one hundred and thirty thousand residents' lives."
"The Pendulum of Life..."
White Butterfly's body trembled violently; this name made her feel a bout of dizziness.
She still found it somewhat hard to believe.
"Can this be? Why is the price of resurrecting someone with the Pendulum of Life so huge?"
Zhou Huai's tone had not the slightest ripple.
"Resurrecting an ordinary person probably wouldn't require such a huge price."
"However, the one Kujo Koji resurrected is Sakura Country's former SS-Rank Expert, and in his absolute Peak state. Therefore, the price that needs to be paid is exceptionally massive."
White Butterfly felt her mouth go dry. She swallowed hard and pursued: "Who did Kujo Koji resurrect?"
Zhou Huai slowly spat out the name that had been dust-sealed for a long time yet could still make the older generation of experts turn pale at the mere mention.
"Yamata no Orochi, Qinze Taichiro."
"Qinze Taichiro..."
White Butterfly chewed on this name repeatedly.
Having engaged in intelligence work for so many years, she knew Sakura Country's former SS-Rank Expert like the back of her hand.
When Zhou Huai uttered this name, she only felt a chill rush straight from her spine to her crown, her hands and feet turning cold.
Yamata no Orochi, Qinze Taichiro.
Described as the strongest physical body in the world.
Rumor has it that each of his heads mastered a top-tier combat skill.
Back then, looking across all SS-Rank Professionals, his strength could definitely enter the top ten.
At that time, Marshal Zhao, who was still young, was not his match in a one-on-one fight.
In the end, relying on multiple SS-Rank Experts from Great Xia Nation and Great Bear Country joining forces, and after several tragic wheel battles, they paid a huge price to behead him.
Now that such an expert had been resurrected, how could White Butterfly not feel terrified to her core?
