I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 589: Poison in the Gourd

Those flying insects that had been devoured earlier by the Netherworld Abyss emerged once again from the Gate of the Undead.

Given that living members of the Insect Race submit only to the Queen of the Insect Nest, why couldn't Lin Yi forge a different route by slaying them first and then dominating them?

Space warped beside Lin Yi, and suddenly two young girls in black dresses materialized side by side.

"Lin Yi, your boldness is truly remarkable, daring to enter alone the one-way Space Channel to a star system overrun with insects. Impressive."

The twin sisters, clad in identical outfits, looked utterly charming. In this barren Insect Hive Star, their presence offered a touch of comfort.

Lin Qianqian, remaining in the Undead Space alongside Lin You, had observed Lin Yi's development.

She had personally witnessed Lin Yi stake his life in a desperate clash against the Divine Envoy to honor his vow.

No matter her past disdain for humans, Lin Qianqian now recognized Lin Yi as extraordinary. Thus, her earlier reluctance toward Lin You viewing him as master vanished, and her stance toward him shifted positively.

Lin Yi paid little mind to Lin Qianqian's praise.

Perfect timing for Lin You's twin sisters to emerge.

"Perfect, you two showed up right when I need help with something."

As the Undead Monarch, Lin You commanded Undead Creatures far more effortlessly than Lin Yi could.

Letting Lin You direct the Undead Creatures against the Insect Race on the Nest Insect Star would guarantee smooth data gathering for the Spirit Crystal—a smart move.

For Lin Qianqian, guiding the subdued Insect Race in scouting posed no challenge.

With all three collaborating, their progress would surge dramatically.

The sisters accepted Lin Yi's assignments without protest and dove right in, as Lin Yi pressed onward.

The Queen of the Insect Nest's declaration echoed in Lin Yi's thoughts.

In one-on-one combat, Lin Yi held no fear of the Queen of the Insect Nest. Even avoiding direct confrontation, he felt certain of total dominance.

Possessing human-level intellect, the Queen of the Insect Nest undoubtedly grasped this reality.

To leave nothing to chance, Lin Yi intended to ambush the Queen of the Insect Nest.

Summoning the Gale Wings, Lin Yi soared swiftly over the skies of the Nest Insect Star.

The Eye of All-Seeing operated at full strength, scanning for mighty Insect Race individuals to claim.

Lin Yi moved with lightning speed.

Even the sharp-sensed Insect Race failed to counter Lin Yi's covert strikes.

Yet while gathering them, Lin Yi noticed an oddity.

By logic, arriving across galaxies at the Nest Insect Star, Lin Yi ought to face relentless pursuit from the Insect Race.

However, amid all this chaos, no Insect Race being launched a proactive assault on him.

Considering the Queen of the Insect Nest's arrogance, how would she tolerate Lin Yi rampaging through her domain?

Regrettably, the Touch of Reincarnation's memory scan proved useless on these dim-witted creatures.

Beyond storing the captured insects in the Undead Space, Lin Yi had no other potent options.

During his advance, the Eye of All-Seeing spotted a colony of Corpse Bone Ants.

These ants loomed enormous, with ordinary workers exceeding three meters in length.

A foul rot stench wafted from them, and their savage looks evoked sheer malevolence.

Unlike Blue Star's ants, these existed solely to serve the Queen of the Insect Nest, never spawning their own queen, just hauling resources for her and terrorizing mammals across the Nest Insect Star.

But upon locking eyes with Lin Yi, they acted as if beholding ultimate horror, fleeing wildly while their huge forms churned dust across the rough ground.

Lin Yi stared in confusion: Do I look that hideous?

Seeing the Corpse Bone Ants disperse, Lin Yi opted not to chase.

To him, despite their intimidation, their power fell short, unworthy of the effort to convert into Undead Creatures.

Right as Lin Yi prepared to plunge toward the Nest Insect Star's heart, something at the Corpse Bone Ants' flight origin seized his focus.

There, countless mangled beast corpses littered the area, blood dried long ago into dark crimson stains on the ashen soil.

These beasts had endured horrific ends, limbs contorted, guts spilled, some gnawed to oblivion.

Lin Yi's brow furrowed as he descended slowly and neared the remnants.

He crouched, scrutinizing the injuries closely, and felt a wave of bewilderment.

Could these beast remains truly be for eating?

Being the sovereign of Nest Insect Star, it's natural for the Queen of the Insect Nest to stand at the heart of every insect, attended by them devotedly.

However, a nearer examination revealed to Lin Yi that these creatures had perished at different times—some injuries had turned putrid, releasing a nauseating odor, whereas others appeared quite recent, as though death had struck mere moments ago.

Even more bizarrely, the nearby terrain showed no clear battle marks, save for the frantic tracks left by the escaping Corpse Bone Ants, with nothing else hinting at foul play.

Would a Queen of the Insect Nest of such lofty position truly consume decayed matter?

Yet why had certain animal carcasses fully rotted away without being cleared?

As Lin Yi pondered deeply, an odd feeling abruptly surged from deep inside him.

Peering inward via the Eye of All-Seeing, a horrifying sight unfolded in his vision.

Through the Eye of All-Seeing, bolstered by the Eyes of Golden Flame, Lin Yi distinctly observed his skin teeming with countless minuscule insect eggs.

These eggs were capable of hatching immediately, proceeding to savagely chew through his flesh.

Certain ones even penetrated his bodily openings to invade within.

Inside, they set upon devouring Lin Yi’s vital organs.

In that instant, Lin Yi abruptly comprehended and came to respect the Queen of the Insect Nest’s cunning prowess and creativity.

Genetic alteration within the Insect Race ought to be a standard ability for all Insect Race Queens.

Nevertheless, the prior Insect Race Queens Lin Yi had faced paled in comparison to this Queen of the Insect Nest.

Possessing human-like intellect, the Queen of the Insect Nest proved truly terrifying.

She mastered the art of strategy perfectly, earning Lin Yi’s recognition as a formidable adversary.

Direct clashes being impossible, she resorted to sly maneuvers. Without his exceptional physique, Lin Yi might have remained oblivious to the Queen of the Insect Nest’s plots.

More precisely, the Queen of the Insect Nest had foreseen long ago the arrival of an invader too strong for brute force in her domain, preparing these devious methods accordingly.

Lin Yi found himself filled with anticipation and appreciation unavoidably.
