Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge-Chapter 701 - 439 Facing the Insect Swarm Again_2

Most of the intelligence is classified and sealed by the Four Ancient Empires; only a very few people can know about it.

It just so happens that Ying Xueji and the others know about this, so they will undoubtedly make an effort, then invade the Insect Race’s territory.

Both internally and externally, making strategic moves in multiple areas significantly weakens the insect swarm’s rallying power. Only then can Zi Liyuan take advantage of the chaos.

With the skills of a Necromancer, searching for high-level quality life forms is very simple.

Zi Liyuan is confident that he can locate the Insect Race leader before Ying Xueji and others do.

"Yuer, you don’t need to worry about the situation in the Underworld, just manage things well here."

Fan Yuer and her three sisters were originally chosen by Zi Liyuan to be Alchemists, but he forcibly turned them into housekeepers.

"Xiao Guang, stay behind to guard the Death Castle. When we enter the Underworld, you can communicate with Fan Qinger. If there’s anything you can’t handle, just have her relay it."

After arranging everything, Zi Liyuan took a legendary group of subordinates and entered the Door to the Underworld.

The Underworld is still dim, even though there are plants everywhere on the rock walls of the cave that can emit a faint glow, visibility is still not high.

However, for such a powerful group of uninvited guests led by Zi Liyuan, night vision is not a problem at all.

"Is this the territory of that Alien Lord? Should we destroy it along the way?"

Shen Yurou glanced around the surroundings, especially frowning at the intense sulfur smell.

"When the first and second bosses fight, the third one is gone; that’s the logic."

The Alien Lord’s territory largely borders the Insect Race, so the two sides are constantly at war, never stopping.

So when Zi Liyuan and the others arrived, they found themselves in the middle of the opposing territory, and it was just a matter of stabbing them in the back as a casual cleanup.

"Yurou, send your Mechanical Army to attack the Alien Lord’s territory. Liu Yiqing, coordinate with the Mechanical Army to destroy the Lord’s Mansion and send him on his way."

Liu Yiqing’s buff stacking is too high, and her strength has skyrocketed. Even at the peak of the Fourth tier, she can still instantly kill a Fifth-tier peak entity.

Of course, instant killing is only feasible for a Fifth-tier Lord or lower Boss. She can defeat Epic and Legendary entities, but it’s impossible to kill them in a short time.

However, if caught off guard in a sneak attack, it’s not impossible to kill this Alien Lord.

In the Underworld, massive forces are not easy to deploy, so in this place, the Spectral Dragon Army can’t form a formidable Bone Dragon wave.

But Zi Liyuan still had Kulong dispatch a hundred Specter Dragon Lord Bosses to follow Shen Yurou and follow her commands.

As for him, he traveled lightly to the frontline battleground where the Alien Lords and the Insect Race were tugging each other.

The Insect Race, in this advantageous underground terrain, has dug countless passageways through the battlefield.

Fortunately, Zi Liyuan had a map hack, combined with Soul Detection, illuminating a radius of 200,000 meters directly on the hack.

Every terrain, above and below, appeared in his mind; he wouldn’t get lost and couldn’t fail to track the movements of the Insect Race.

Along with the newly mutated Eye of Death’s Law, finding high-tier Life Origins was incredibly easy.

A group of them directly crossed the battlefield, and any perceptive creatures were easily dealt with by them.

Zi Liyuan led the group directly into the Insect Race’s territory, navigating through the swarm with ease.

Any insect swarm attempting to besiege them was met with the Death Storm.

The indiscriminate Soul Shock was a nightmare for those low-tier insects.

Whenever launched, at least eighty to a hundred thousand insects died; those surviving were merely mid to high-tier Insect Race at the Third and Fourth tier.

To Zi Liyuan’s frustration, the insects would not surrender, and even if they self-destructed, no useful information could be extracted from them.

Insect swarm leaders were controlling the insect swarm commanders to a terrifying degree.

So besides using the map hack to explore, the rest was just exterminating the insect swarms along the way.

"In the lands of the insect swarm, everything was scoured clean except for earth and stones. The Insect Race is truly terrifyingly brutal."

Dilys, the Black Dragon King being used as a mount, flew over the vast caverns, where many pockmarked holes appeared on the cave walls, with all vegetation uprooted and not even a blade of grass left.

"The Insect Race recycles even their own members’ corpses and scavenges all resources in their territory, isn’t that completely normal?"

After passing through a dozen giant caverns, with over eight hundred thousand insect swarms cleared, truly high-tier Insect Race commanders could be counted on one hand.

Luckily, the map hack in Zi Liyuan’s mind displayed a broad enough area, with extensive search range rapidly locating the insect swarms, even those hidden deep underground couldn’t escape.

As they penetrated deeper into the Insect Race’s territory, Zi Liyuan finally discovered something unusual—the Insect Race’s digging had an upward trend.

As for what the surface was like, Zi Liyuan was certainly well aware.

Permafrost, ice layers, cold frost, extreme cold, plus some kind of Rule Power restriction.

Zi Liyuan dispatched an Undead Army upward to try mining resources, only to have all several thousand undead annihilated within half an hour upon reaching the surface.

Human subjects and monster subjects were also sent for experiments but couldn’t survive for even half an hour; they either froze to death or provoked bosses that continually mutated and strengthened, ultimately being killed.

Even the Mechanical Army that little Yurou brought to the surface would quickly experience mechanical failures and eventually become statues in the permafrost hills.

Only dispatching Fourth-tier Bosses could endure the freezing world for a substantial period.

But when encountering those bosses, they’re just as blind.

The reason being, once killed, these controlled bosses not only resurrected but also mutated and strengthened.

After each death, they mutated and strengthened once. Unless their bodies were utterly obliterated, they’d become stronger the more they were fought.

Zi Liyuan had no idea what the Insect Race was up to or why they were digging toward the surface.

But realizing how close the tunnel they excavated to his own territory near the Door to the Underworld was, revealing a massive passage to the surface, he thought perhaps there was some secret on the surface unknown to him that the Insect Race leader had discovered.

With this thought, Zi Liyuan began paying attention to the tunnels dug by the Insect Race, discovering one stretching upward and quickly instructed Dilys to fly toward it.

"This tunnel tens of meters across doesn’t seem to be dug by a large number of insects, but rather by a large insect."

Following behind Zi Liyuan, Dilys sensed the aura lingering here and noted various marks on the cave walls.

"Regardless of what insect it is, with a body size of several tens of meters, at most it’s an Epic Boss. It’s been so long and we haven’t encountered an Epic Boss insect commander yet."

Those low-level insect commanders didn’t yield any information, maybe a high-tier commander could offer some insights.

Wang Tie: Boss, are you there? I planted spies within the Insect Race, and they’ve discovered a large gathering of high-tier insects moving toward the surface, with the exit in underground area No. 73.

Zi Liyuan: (O_O)? You’re a genius! How did you come up with the idea of planting spies within the Insect Race?

Zi Liyuan was filled with questions, it was the first time he had heard of spies being successfully planted within the Insect Race without being discovered.

Wang Tie was indeed breaking new ground!

Wang Tie: I’m a Beast Tamer, after all. Insect Race insects can be tamed. I captured dozens of large insects, their strengths ranged from Lord Boss to normal Boss, and after they became my beasts, I released them all back.

Zi Liyuan: The Insect Race leader didn’t notice anything wrong?

Wang Tie: They did discover something. The hero and Lord Boss-level insects were eliminated, only the normal, elite, and rare Bosses survived.

Zi Liyuan: Damn! You’re amazing, Irony. You found a blind spot, the insect swarm is so vast that the swarm leaders only focus on heroes and above.
