The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 410 - 219: Immortal Mountain, But the Mage’s Style (6k)
Chapter 410: Chapter 219: Immortal Mountain, But the Mage’s Style (6k)
I have to say, this is indeed quite unexpected for Bai Yi.
Firstly, she didn’t expect anyone could actually find their way here, especially coming directly to the camp.
The frontline is at war!
With the outside covered entirely by Fungus Blanket and filled with toxic mist, someone managed to penetrate the vast Fungus Blanket plains and come here.
Although earlier at dawn someone had indeed found their way to her doorstep, but that was an accident!
On reflection, for her supposedly tight defenses to be breached twice in one day, it was certainly quite the failure...
It’s definitely time to update the defense abilities of the territory.
Secondly, she didn’t expect that the one coming to her door this time was actually a Contractor.
Ah no, to be exact, according to the Patrolling Tree Man’s report from outside, not just one person came, but they brought others.
"Indeed interesting...
Take them into Giant Tree City, arrange for a tree house to keep them there first."
She wasn’t looking for visitors, wouldn’t just rush over so eagerly.
In the current fight with Paradise, she held the advantage, not taking the other down was already fortunate.
No matter why they came, since they are on her turf, they have to comply!
Even if they came to her, they could not interrupt her main business.
Having casually assigned two people, Bai Yi continued walking to the deeper underground room.
After all, this was not like last time when she caught them herself, enabling immediate soul harvesting.
This time, the Contractors were caught by the Insect Swarm, and facing these Contractors, the Insect Swarm had limited methods, only being able to detain them more securely.
To prevent any trouble that might disturb their Queen.
The underground depth was naturally the most suitable choice.
After bypassing the "slightly" complex underground passage, Bai Yi easily found a tightly guarded entrance and saw several detained Contractors inside.
Hearing the commotion from the entrance, thinking another unlucky companion had been captured, the Contractors raised their heads, only to find the newcomer was completely unfamiliar.
Not one of the powerful Contractors they knew, but a small white-haired girl, seemingly not older than ten, like she was still elementary-aged.
Moreover, her appearance showed she was part of the Elf Clan.
A presence emitted from her that naturally inspired trust and closeness, as if...
As if she was everyone’s "mother"?
Truth be told, although surprisingly well-built, this little girl who only reached their waist emitting a "motherly" friendliness was indeed quite bizarre...
The Contractors arriving in this world were famous and formidable within their Paradise, they were sure such an Elf girl did not exist among them.
Even among those with Spiritual Series powers who could alter perceptions, they knew their true faces, definitely without such a person.
Even those who were already in this world, they had met during a meeting that day.
Furthermore, within their Chaotic Paradise, there wasn’t a single Contractor with such "friendly" style; every one of them was brimming with bloodshed.
A Contractor with overflowing charm would certainly stand out like a beacon in the night.
Even the charm-oriented Contractors only tempered their menace to avoid affecting interactions, never to create involuntary friendliness.
Given she wasn’t their ally appearing here...
This possibility narrowed down to only one answer.
Could it be...
The Contractors all came to the same conclusion, feeling a bit incredulous.
The monstrous Insect Swarm ravaging hundreds of kilometers outside, leaving them in this state, had a Lord who turned out to be a little girl?
Realizing this identity, the surprise that just subsided in their hearts rose again from another angle.
They immediately retracted their prior descriptions of the little... no, of the Lord. novelbuddy-cσ๓
This isn’t friendliness, it’s definitely a disguise!
However, their surprise didn’t last long, as they lost consciousness amidst intense pain.
Bai Yi didn’t plan on talking to them, directly plucking their souls.
Anyway, once she completely assimilated their souls into her own, she could ask whatever she wanted; no need to waste time here.
With the frontline war not yet completely finished, other Contractors were still being captured and transported. Waiting for all the Contractors to gather might take about an hour, so there’s no rush.
She came down early simply because among them, the Undead Mage was particularly crucial to the territory and required special attention, hastening the soul plucking to expedite assimilation through Hatti.
As for the rest, they could be held for a while, until she plucked them all at once.
Right now, of course, it was time to check out those two self-invited guests... or not!
Since she promised to pluck a soul then go to rest, she had to go rest.
She hasn’t had a proper sleep for so many days; it’s high time to take a break!
Those two guests?
What could matter more than her sleep?
It’s not like she called them over; they can wait.
Bai Yi happily decided, not minding the follow-up with the two, and returned to a temporary bedroom meticulously arranged by the witch and Insect Swarm but never actually used.
Although her body, now tailored by Bai Yi, theoretically didn’t require much sleep, exhaustion still lingered due to several days of uninterrupted study and research.
