After meeting up with Soli, the two people and one dragon immediately left the island in the center of the lake.
By the lake, after Yang Tian and Soli dismounted from the Little Blue Dragon's back, Soli immediately took out a detection device and began to analyze the planet's environment in detail.
The results were basically the same as the armor system's analysis, but at the same time, they also obtained some other information.
For example, there were microbes in the water, air, and rocks, and they were very dense.
Ordinary humans would not be able to survive in such an environment because these microorganisms were deadly bacteria and viruses to them.
For cultivators, their cells were already very strong, and microbes couldn't enter their bodies at all.
Even if they did, they couldn't cause any harm to their bodies.
With microbes living here, naturally, this planet also had a lot of life.
The insectoids were a race with very strong vitality, and they could survive by eating organic matter. They could eat the water, rocks, and even the air on the surface of this planet, and they could continue to reproduce and strengthen their race.
However, what puzzled Yang Tian and the others was that they hadn't seen a single insect after being on this planet for so long.
Moreover, they didn't even see any traces of insect activity.
Yang Tian and the others weren't the only ones who thought so. The other cultivators also found it strange after observing the planet's environment.
Before setting off, Yang Tian and Soli had already brought enough food and water, so they naturally didn't need to stay near a water source in these three days. After Soli analyzed the surrounding environment, the two people and one dragon left the lake.
If there really were insects, the water source would be a very dangerous place.
What everyone didn't know was that in the thousands of underground freezers, a large number of insects had already awakened and started to crawl out of the ground.
On the spaceship.
"Sir, all the insects have awakened. In about a day, the insects will be able to occupy the entire planet." The beautiful operator turned around and reported to the middle-aged divine general.
The middle-aged divine general nodded. "Prepare to activate the stellar storm. Activate it in four days and burn this planet, so that this star field won't be occupied by the insectoids after this assessment."
"Yes!" In the cockpit, all the staff members responded in unison.
The Zergs had evolved to the point where they could migrate through the universe with just their physical bodies.
When the resources of a planet were devoured by them, some of the insects would start to cannibalize each other to maintain the survival of their species. The other insects would burrow deep into the earth's crust and begin to sleep, waiting for the planet's environment to change.
Once there was a crisis for the insectoids, the insectoids on this planet would give birth to migrating insectoids and be ejected into space by the mother insectoid that produced them.
These migratory bugs were also known as buds. They drifted freely in space, and when they encountered planets where the bugs could live, these buds would land on those planets.
And then … a wormhole was created.
This kind of wormhole was the same as the teleportation formation disk that human cultivators created with runes. It had the function of teleportation.
Once this kind of wormhole was formed, a corresponding wormhole would be created on the planet where the mother insect that threw the buds lived after sensing the formation of this wormhole.
In this way, on a planet that had exhausted its resources, a large number of insects would go through such a wormhole to another planet suitable for their survival.
In other words, buds were produced in pairs. One of them would stay on the original planet, while the other would be ejected into space.
Ordinary humans, and even low-level human cultivators, could not live on a planet for a long time. To the insectoids, planets were like paradise.
Take the solar system for example. Aside from Earth, the insectoids could live on Mars, Venus, Enceladus, Europa, and other planets.
Therefore, in the entire universe, there were a lot of planets suitable for the insectoids to live on.
The buds that were projected into space could find a planet they could migrate to in a very short time.
As the insectoids occupied more and more planets, and connected with each other through a large number of wormholes, a large net would be formed. When the insectoids on a planet encountered a crisis, they could migrate to another planet and destroy the wormhole, preventing the enemy from exterminating all of them.
Aside from the migrating insectoids, the insectoids that went into hibernation due to the exhaustion of the planet's resources could actually sleep for tens of thousands of years …
It was because of these methods that humans could not help but praise that the insectoids were difficult to exterminate.
The middle-aged divine general gave the order, and the huge spaceship launched a large number of spherical objects toward the distant stars.
At the right time, these objects could cause the stars to explode.
This sort of stellar wind was actually the same as solar wind. Once it exploded, it could roast the nearby planets and destroy all life on these planets.
After all the preparations were done and the countdown started, the middle-aged divine general looked at the surveillance image of the planet's surface and could not help but smirk. It was as if he could already see the scene of the cultivators below being surrounded by countless insectoids.
Once the insectoids found a suitable environment, they could reproduce very quickly. No matter how powerful the few hundred cultivators below were, they would not be able to kill all the insectoids.
The insectoids did not have any feelings of fear. They were not afraid of death.
Even a Superstar would not be able to last three days if they just kept killing the insectoids, let alone a Star-Grade cultivator.
Only smart people or cultivators with special means could easily survive for three days on this planet.
What about using high-tech equipment?
Forget it!
The insectoids could sense the energy fluctuations of these equipment. It would be fine if they were not used, but once they were used, they would become a beacon that attracted the insectoids.
The assessment this time was not about who killed the most insectoids and whose results were the best.
It was about who could survive these three days the easiest.
"Yang Tian, do you know about the insectoids?" Soli suddenly asked while walking.
Yang Tian shook his head. "Not really. What's wrong?"
Soli said, "You can imagine the entire surface of the planet, be it in the water, on the land, or in the air, is densely packed with insectoids. What kind of situation is that?
A single insectoid is not scary. Even if there are countless of them, they will attack you continuously. However many you kill, they will come, and this will continue for three days … "
Following Soli's description, Yang Tian could not help but imagine the terrifying scene in his mind.
He knew that this was not Soli's exaggeration. It was very likely to happen, and the situation was even more serious than he had imagined.
After Soli finished speaking, the two were silent for a while.
Unknowingly, Yang Tian and the others had arrived at a crater several kilometers in diameter that looked like it was formed by a meteor impact.
"Rumble …"
Yang Tian and the others had just glanced at this huge crater when suddenly, a loud noise came from the mountain ahead.
On one side of the cliff, there was a large hole.
Although they were very far away, Yang Tian and the others could see that this hole was more than ten meters in diameter.
As soon as the cave appeared, a large head popped out of it and turned around.
Yang Tian immediately pulled Saul down to avoid being seen by this huge insectoid.
This huge insectoid had an oval head, two large pincers in its mouth, a thick feeler, and two protruding eyes.
Under the gaze of Yang Tian and the others, this insectoid observed for a while and then retracted its head, not appearing for a long time.
If killing insectoids could give him assessment points, Yang Tian would have rushed forward and killed this insectoid without hesitation.
The insectoid retreated, but Yang Tian and the others didn't leave. Soli immediately took out a spherical detector and flew toward the hole.
In less than a minute, the detector had already flown to the hole and slowly went in.
After releasing the detector, Soli took out a tablet display device and projected a 3D image from it, showing the situation inside the hole.
"Pa ~"
They thought they could see what kind of insectoid was inside.
Unexpectedly, with a crisp sound, the detector was destroyed, and the 3D image disappeared.
At the last moment before the image disappeared, both of them saw a huge head and countless black insectoid eggs piled up together.
The huge insectoid that appeared just now was actually laying eggs!
Soli shook her head and had to put away the display device. She said, "If I'm not wrong, this insectoid can sense the existence of such high-tech equipment."
Unable to see the situation inside, the two of them could only take out binoculars from their storage bracelets and observe the hole from a distance.
About half an hour later, long insectoids kept crawling out of the hole.
The heads of these insectoids were very similar to the head of the previous giant insectoid. Their bodies were in sections, with a total of twelve segments and two rows of dozens of legs under their abdomens.
These were just larvae that had just come out of their shells. Their bodies were about the thickness of a human arm. As soon as they came out of the hole, they began to grow rapidly under the illumination of the stars. At the same time, they were also gnawing on the darkest rocks around them …
In less than ten minutes, thousands of such insectoids crawled out and spread out.
Seeing this, Yang Tian knew that if he didn't do anything, he and Soli would have to face the situation he had just imagined.
"Whoosh ~"
While Yang Tian was thinking, a whistling sound came from the distance.
The two of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge insectoid more than ten meters long sweeping across the sky in the distance.
"We have to leave here immediately and find a place with fewer insectoids," Yang Tian said. Yang Tian said to the Little Blue Dragon lying on his shoulder, "Xiao Long, go and take a look nearby."
The Little Blue Dragon nodded and disappeared in a flash.
After the Little Blue Dragon left, Yang Tian and Soli immediately retreated, carefully observing the surroundings while moving quickly.
