Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 62: Chapter 60: Poisonous Insect Breeding Base (Happy New Year’s Eve)

After touring the Fumen Breeding Farm for half an hour, Su Jie sent the accompanying officials away.

Even Liu Yingying wasn’t with him, as Su Jie came alone to the core area of the breeding farm and stood in front of a building.

This building was the true heart of the Fumen Breeding Farm. Outwardly claimed to be Su Jie’s personal laboratory, in reality, it actually was a laboratory.

However, the subjects of experimentation here were quite extraordinary, the results of which would be beyond the understanding and common knowledge of the people of Blue Star.

Swipe!

Through a password, fingerprint, and iris scan, Su Jie opened the laboratory to which only he had access.

The lab symbolically contained a row of equipment which Su Jie didn’t give a second glance; he didn’t know how to use them but simply turned on the signal scrambler and then made a beeline for the elevator inside, descending dozens of meters to a secret base located underground.

The base was sealed with thick, sturdy reinforced concrete on all sides, with only a few large pipes connecting to the outside world.

These pipes led to the surface’s Poison Insect Warehouse. Some poisonous insects and snakes, as per Su Jie’s instructions, purportedly needed for experimentation, would be dropped into the pipes by the staff, ending up at this secret base.

But Su Jie’s true intent was actually to prepare for the advancement of the poisonous insects.

At this moment, the underground base was already filled with a mass of all sorts of poisonous insects and snakes.

Colorful snakes and countless insects surged like the tide, giving one goosebumps just looking at them.

Yet, when Su Jie saw this scene, he was not at all afraid; instead, he revealed a hint of a smile.

“With so many Poison Insects, you’ll have a lot to enjoy,” he said.

Su Jie revealed a smile like that of a villain in a TV drama, casually taking out a black round plate from his Storage Bag—this was the Qiankun Xuanbing Array Plate.

Placing the Array Plate at the center of the base, Su Jie channeled Spiritual Energy into it and, albeit reluctantly, embedded it with hundreds of Blood Marrow Crystals.

With an ample supply of energy, the Array Plate was immediately activated, glowing faintly as waves of Spiritual Power swept out. Layers of Ice Crystals grew out of thin air, forming a hemispherical dome-shaped protective barrier, covering the underground base and then gradually dissipating into the air.

Trying it out, Su Jie stepped forward and threw a full-strength punch.

Boom!

The cannonball-like fist had barely shot out when a layer of Ice Crystals spontaneously appeared in the air, and mysterious Array Patterns scurried across the Ice Crystals.

As the fist struck down, the entire Array of Ice Crystals remained unmoved, and Su Jie ended up causing his own fist to throb with pain.

After all, it was a defense Array Map worth thousands of Blood Marrow Crystals. Su Jie, being only at the Fifth Level of Yunling Realm in cultivation, certainly couldn’t break it with brute force alone, unless he used the Thousand-Handed Centipede or the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword.

However, Su Jie didn’t attempt to do so, as he couldn’t afford to buy another Array Map. The defensive capabilities of the current Array Map were already sufficient for his use.

After experimenting, Su Jie didn’t hesitate and patted the Insect Control Bag at his waist.

Crash!

As the Insect Control Bag opened, terrifying Poison Insects of bizarre shapes and ferocious appearances swarmed out like a flood.

Seven-colored Poison Frogs, Ghost Flame Spiders, Armored Vulture Blood Ants, Black Shark Snakes…

One after another, inferior poison insects from Tianyuan World, all captured by Su Jie from Insect Valley, were now released in one fell swoop.

Hiss!

Sizzle!

Rustle!

The Tianyuan Poison Insects moved about, their initial unease in the unfamiliar environment was quickly allured by the countless food in front of them, and a multitude of Tianyuan Poison Insects began crawling towards the Blue Star Poison Insects.

With the brain capacity of these Poison Insects, they obviously couldn’t understand the consequences brought by the change in environment, only feeling like they were in heaven as they rushed into the Blue Star insect swarm and started to gorge themselves.

Although the Blue Star Poison Insects held an advantage in numbers, the poisonous creatures from Tianyuan World were undoubtedly much more fierce and brutal, resulting in a completely one-sided battle.

Apart from stuffing Tianyuan Poison Insects to death, the Blue Star Poison Insects had no real means of fighting back.

Su Jie let these Poison Insects fight and devour each other. Many Tianyuan Poison Insects, already having accumulated a substantial amount within themselves, showed a tentative trend toward evolution as they fed.

Hiss Hisss!

A Red Blood Silver Bee furiously devoured a batch of Poison Insects, then suddenly targeted another Tianyuan Poison Insect, a Golden Winged Lion Spider, flashing its massive stinger and firmly plunging it into the body of its fellow creature.

As the poison took effect, the Golden Winged Lion Spider quickly became stiff, and the Red Blood Silver Bee dragged it up to the light fixtures on the ceiling, where its sharp mouthparts voraciously consumed it.

Halfway through the meal, the Red Blood Silver Bee’s speed gradually slowed down.

Eventually, it stopped eating entirely as an Insect Cocoon formed around it, signaling the start of its evolution.

Tianyuan Poisonous Insects devouring and attacking each other was not an uncommon sight, but Su Jie naturally would not allow such things to happen.

It was too wasteful. He had ample resources of Blue Star Poison Insects, but the Tianyuan Poison Insects were ones he had painstakingly captured.

If a Poison Insect, that he had managed to cultivate to Low-Grade status with great difficulty, were to be eaten halfway by its kin, that would be a tremendous loss.

To prevent such pointless infighting, Su Jie manipulated the Qiankun Xuanbing Formation Diagram. Layers of Ice Crystals fell from the ceiling, dividing the underground base into separate small compartments that were not interconnected.

Each compartment contained only one Tianyuan Poisonous Insect, along with a massive amount of Blue Star Poison Insects for its consumption.

Without the threat of cannibalism from their kind, the Tianyuan Poison Insects could only devour the common Blue Star Poison Insects before them.

For a while, the entire underground base was filled with the sounds of various insects feeding.

Amidst this continuous feeding, the Red Blood Silver Bee completed its evolution, doubling in size and becoming a genuine Low-Grade poisonous insect.

The newly-evolved Low-Grade Red Blood Silver Bee flapped its wings, attempting to escape its cage in a restless high-speed flight, but alas, even after ascending to Low-Grade status, it could not budge the Qiankun Xuanbing Formation Diagram in the slightest.

Hiss!

The Red Blood Silver Bee brandished its stinger proudly, undeterred and planning to strike again with its poison, only to be suddenly overwhelmed by a gaping maw that lunged at it; the next moment, its entire body was engulfed.

Crunch!

The Thousand-Handed Centipede chewed on the protein-rich Red Blood Silver Bee, its body exuding a joyous aura.

To it, a mere Low-Grade poisonous insect was nothing but a delicious snack.

After consuming one, the Thousand-Handed Centipede eagerly eyed the other Poison Insects, hoping they would quickly evolve. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The evolved Low-Grade Poison Insects were even more delectable and nutritionally rich to eat.

“You’re so greedy; these are for you to enjoy once you’ve advanced to Mid-Grade. You’ll have to wait a bit longer,” Su Jie chuckled and scolded. The underground base would continue to operate, today was just the beginning. As time went on, more and more Low-Grade poisonous insects would emerge. This place was essentially a production line factory for cultivating Low-Grade poisonous insects that Su Jie had established.

In the future, once the Thousand-Handed Centipede evolved to Mid-Grade, having it devour these Low-Grade poisonous insects would continue to aid its ascent.

The Qiankun Xuanbing Formation Diagram stored here acted like a prison, trapping all those evolved insects inside.

As for Su Jie himself, he wasn’t too interested in ordinary Low-Grade poisonous insects at the moment.

With the Thousand-Handed Centipede for high-end combat power and the human-faced moth swarm for area attacks, utilizing both required a lot of effort given his Fifth Level Yunling Realm Cultivation. Contracting more Poison Insects would only dissipate his focus.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to fully cultivate the Thousand-Handed Centipede, enabling it to ascend to a higher grade more quickly.

Imagining the various possibilities for the future, Su Jie looked at the production line Insect breeding base before him, feeling a surge of pride and satisfaction.
