I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 588: Awakened Curiosity, the Queen of the Insect Nest’s Trump Card!

Observing the giant insect's body fade away, a sudden idea struck Lin Yi.

The most effective approach to collect data on the insect nest planet involves deploying numerous detection spirit crystals nearly at the same time in various spots for peak performance.

Still, these detection spirit crystals need to release sound waves at a specific frequency to map the terrain accurately, drawing in strong insects nearby who will smash them.

Protecting the spirit crystals is essential for flawless execution.

Two options exist for safeguarding the spirit crystals.

One option: eliminate the assailants to shield them long enough to gather all necessary data.

Powerful though Lin Yi may be, he wouldn't dare guarantee success here, not even with the "Hair Clone".

Option two: devise a way to stop the insect race from wrecking the detection spirit crystals.

Such as controlling some of the insect race.

Taking command of insects from the insect nest queen requires slaying them.

Regular professionals would hit a frustrating deadlock in this scenario.

Techniques like martial arts or hypnosis fail against these dim-witted beasts, leaving insect elimination as the sole path to secure data gathering.

However, the immense scale of the insect nest star renders such tactics utterly unfeasible....

Lin Yi stands apart.

His command of necromancy element magic lets him shatter this deadlock.

Action followed thought without delay.

Lin Yi floated down gently, rested his hand on a detection spirit crystal, and cranked its detection frequency to full power right away.

"Hmm, this intensity should lure competent insect races here in no time."

After finishing preparations, Lin Yi settled into a cross-legged position, awaiting calmly.

True to expectation, barely twenty seconds passed before fierce wing beats echoed from the southwest skies.

Tracing the noise, a horde of enormous mosquito-resembling insects hurtled forward swiftly.

Tough bristles armored them, paired with razor-sharp, jagged mouthparts and glaring blood-red compound eyes that amplified their menace.

Despite hundreds of flying insects surging at Lin Yi, they showed zero urge to strike him or the detection spirit crystals.

As anticipated, they halted upon arrival at Lin Yi.

An unseen force seemed to seize them, suspending them in the air as they rearranged into the shape of the insect nest queen.

"Just as anticipated, no one on this insect nest star escapes your reach."

Lin Yi eyed the assembled swarm coolly, his voice carrying casual indifference.

"Human, your power is clear to me. Lacking outside help, I cannot rival you."

An eyebrow arched on Lin Yi, curiosity flickering in his gaze.

"With outside help, what odds do you give yourself? Or put differently, on this insect swarm star of middling power, what fitting allies exist, and what aid might they provide?"

Though Lin Yi and the insect nest queen clashed merely twice, she already grasped his character.

Storming the insect nest star solo with such ease, any sharp mind would deduce Lin Yi as Blue Star's top powerhouse.

Hence, Lin Yi's scorn provoked less fury in the insect nest queen than previously.

"Human, I figure you're Blue Star's mightiest, yet recognize our insect nest star won't yield without a fight."

"Promise to exit the insect nest star and stay away forever, and I'll arrange your escape, guaranteeing safety. It serves us both well."

"Failing the mission beats dying."

Oh?

It can actually repatriate people!

Quite fascinating—the insect race didn't squander time traversing space channels; they've delved into channel mechanics at least.

Such withdrawal counsel holds no sway over Lin Yi.

Armed with Taichu Law mastery, these insects posed no threat.

Besides, facing the law-ignorant insect nest star, Lin Yi could dominate effortlessly with one "Flash".

Plus, Lin Yi commanded a arsenal of law skills.

The withdrawal pitch proved pointless, yet hid valuable intel amid the drivel.

Specifically, the insect nest queen's deep grasp of the space channels linking four planets.

Moreover, this queen harbors secrets of forces beyond human ken.

Mastering those forces' use would massively empower Lin Yi.

Therefore, retreat made no sense for Lin Yi anymore.

"Well, Your Majesty, my nature's quite obstinate; without a real setback, I can't accept even sound counsel. Mind showing your might?"

"Should things turn sour and I can't prevail, I'll pause the bout, and we'll talk terms. Sound good?"

Insect Nest Queen: ???

Were her temper hotter, the queen would've unleashed profanities by now.

This speech even human?

You a mutt or what?

Fight if able, else timeout? Nobody games like that!

"Very well, since death's your desire, hold on. You're truly mighty, tricks boundless and stamina horrifying, but opposing my insect race means no peaceful end for you....."

Lin Yi lifted his hand lightly, transforming the heavens; sunny expanse darkened under heavy clouds.

Thunder's subtle might gathered swiftly in the clouds, forging seven majestic World-Ending Thunder Spears that plummeted.

The thunder forbidden curse's might proved overwhelming.

True damage it dealt besides.

Hundreds of elite flying insect race members perished in a flash under Lin Yi.

"Tsk tsk~"

Lin Yi tutted in amusement.

"Curiosity grips me too. Hearing the insect race queen prattle on, straight talk's hopeless. Looks like tough tactics are required to reveal that enigmatic power meant to crush me."

His hand swept, dissolving the seven "Thunder God’s Fury" spears crackling with lightning.

Hundreds of charred, smoke-belching flying insect race corpses tumbled earthward.

Next, a mere notion summoned a tear to the undead realm from the soil.

At harmonization in Power of Reincarnation, Lin Yi elevated his necromancy element skill dominion further.

Individual revivals of the dead were obsolete now.

One thought sufficed: battlefield remains vanished into undead space, reborn as utterly devoted undead soldiers to Lin Yi.

With the final flying insect race body plunging into the Netherworld Abyss, a massive necromantic door unfurled behind Lin Yi.
