Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Just as the tentacle was fleeing, it was almost immediately intercepted by the Big Black Egg.

Seeing the Big Black Egg blocking its path, the black dot at the tip of the tentacle, resembling an eyeball, trembled. A White Tiger?

At this moment, the tentacle instantly burst into layers of fine, wriggling fur, placing the tentacle egg behind it. The entire tentacle arched as if, were it not for the instinct to protect the egg, it would have attacked long ago.

At this time, the metal egg also surrounded from another direction, and Little One moved forward, blocking the third direction.

Qi Yanhuan and Qin Lie followed Little One almost simultaneously. Among the three, Little One had the weakest combat strength and was likely to become a weak point, so they chose to come over here.

Only Bai Xiaoyu was the slowest. He was carrying an egg and panting heavily to catch up with everyone. By the time he arrived, he saw the already formed encirclement.

Bai Xiaoyu took a moment to catch his breath before turning to look at the tentacle, naturally noticing the black dot at its tip. The black dot, which had disappeared for a month and a half, had reappeared. Upon reappearing, it wanted to take away the tentacle egg that was due to hatch in about ten days. If not for Big Black's timely reaction, the tentacle might have already carried the egg far away, out of their monitored safe area. Chasing after it then would not only be troublesome but also expose them to the outside world.

The tentacle was now extremely agitated, being surrounded by three White Tigers, making it impossible to break through and leave with the egg.

Meanwhile, on another planet, a deep blue mass the size of a small elephant suddenly exploded, all its tentacles lashing out fiercely at everything around it.

He had always wanted to know what had happened to one of his main tentacles, which had been continuously converted and absorbed nutrients. At first, even energy was being drained, causing it to face degeneration and weakening, a situation where mental connection was impossible. Recently, however, the tentacle's nutrition had suddenly caught up, and it had even evolved.

The only thing that could cause such an effect was insect crystals.

In fact, when the main tentacle sensed the insect crystals, he had also felt it.

But at that time, the mental force carrying the aura of the Emperor was still nearby. Even if he knew what was happening there, his instinct forced him to forcibly suppress the connection to that tentacle.

Now, that mental force had grown weaker over the past few days, as if severely injured, and no longer issued commands to him every day, controlling him to do this and that.

Until today, that mental force suddenly vanished, and he knew the opportunity had come.

He felt inexplicably excited and almost immediately connected his mental force to that main tentacle. When he discovered that his main tentacle was guarding an egg, he felt an intense regret at that moment. A voice inside him sighed, "Little Tail has grown so much, I've missed too much of Little Tail's growth."

Then, sensing the fluctuations within the egg, he couldn't help but want to bring this egg back to his side.

This egg is mine, mine!

But he didn't expect that there would be three White Tigers guarding it. His main tentacle was no match for these White Tigers.

The tentacle became increasingly agitated. Normally, if a tentacle could fight, it would; if it couldn't, losing a tentacle wasn't a problem, as he could grow another one in the same spot.

Now, with an egg in tow, the deep blue mass became even more agitated. A single main tentacle facing three White Tigers, he could do nothing!

Bai Xiaoyu looked at the black dot tentacle, which, despite past conflicts, had later coexisted harmoniously with them. What was going on? After some time apart, why did it now treat them like strangers?

Especially when faced with three of them, its reaction was even more intense than the first time they met.

Bai Xiaoyu placed the egg on the ground. The egg was a bit unhappy but also very curious, rolling forward and even transmitting a thought to Bai Xiaoyu: "Your Majesty wants to watch the commotion, hurry up and follow."

Bai Xiaoyu replied, "Don't get too close, the black dot tentacle has consciousness and is very fierce."

A little tiger paw reached out, baring its teeth, "I'm fiercer."

Seeing that the egg was obedient and did not enter the encirclement, Bai Xiaoyu stepped forward, looking at the black dot at the tip of the tentacle, which was hostile to everyone around it. He suddenly spoke, "Egg is undergoing enlightenment today. Missing this enlightenment will greatly affect its future. And in a short while, Egg will hatch. Where do you plan to take Egg? Can you incubate it?"

The black dot at the tip of the tentacle suddenly turned to stare at Bai Xiaoyu, then looked at the egg, confused.

Because he indeed couldn't, his kind didn't have an eggshell on the outside.

What is enlightenment for the egg?

The only thing he understood was hatching; the egg was about to hatch, about to hatch!

The black dot at the tip of the tentacle suddenly trembled, and the deep blue mass of tentacles on the other end began to swing excitedly.

Soon, the black dot at the tip of the tentacle stopped trembling. His egg was about to hatch, how could he not be there?

Since he couldn't take the egg away, he would go to it, and he must arrive before the egg hatched.

At this moment, the deep blue mass sensed the aura of the Emperor again, faint and weak, but purer than before.

The deep blue mass abruptly cut off the mental connection, and the black dot at the tip of the tentacle on the other side disappeared simultaneously.

The tentacle, restored to its original state, quickly returned with the egg to the pile of animals it had dragged back, and the tentacle egg continued to feed.

Seeing the tentacle now calmly guarding the egg, Qi Yanhuan and Qin Lie both breathed a sigh of relief.

After the tentacle egg and the tentacle had eaten their fill and been fed insect crystals, the tentacle stayed by the side without disturbing the interaction between the egg and its two parents.

Qi Yanhuan and Qin Lie transformed into their beast forms, instantly becoming a large wolf and a similarly tall rabbit, playing with the tentacle egg.

The egg clearly enjoyed its parents' current forms, bouncing back and forth between the wolf and the rabbit, a happy family scene.

Then, the large wolf brought a plump prey, and the big rabbit found the tenderest grass cluster. Under the watchful eyes of the tentacle, the egg absorbed a little more.

Soon, the silver-gray wolf tried to nuzzle the egg, and the satisfied egg did not refuse...

But the tentacle finally couldn't resist and rushed forward, quickly flattened by the Big Black Egg.

With no further interference, the enlightenment of the tentacle egg went smoothly.

After the tentacle egg completed its enlightenment, Bai Xiaoyu looked at the curious egg surrounding the wolf-rabbit family and walked over. "What do you want to play?"

The little tiger inside the egg rubbed its paws and asked, "Can I play whatever I want?"

Bai Xiaoyu: "Today, you can."

The little tiger immediately perked up, pointing to three different spots with its little paws, "Then make those three guys move far away, I don't want to see them at all."

Bai Xiaoyu took a deep breath and agreed. Then he coaxed the three away one by one, which made Dandan extremely smug. He didn't realize that he was gaining increasing animosity from the three.

After discovering that all the annoying guys had left, the little tiger inside the egg wagged its tail happily. "I forgot what it feels like to ascend the throne. Next, I will ascend the throne; you arrange for my subjects to come and pay homage."

A slight twitch appeared on Bai Xiaoyu's forehead, but he consented.

Soon, a crowned Dandan stood on a flat, large rock, with about ten five- or six-year-old kids standing below, each holding a small stick, bowing in unison: "Long live the Emperor, may you reign for ten thousand years!"

In the front row were two toothless younglings, their speech slurred as they spoke. Behind them, Dandan was unsatisfied with only human and half-beast younglings, so Bai Xiaoyu used his mental power to bring pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, and ducks, which also began to bleat and cluck along.

The scene was lively for a moment.

Seeing this 'prosperous era,' Dandan was finally satisfied.

The subsequent enlightenment went smoothly as well. Unlike when Bai Qing and Feng Shuang'er both failed their enlightenments, now the spirit inside the egg was complete, and it was within its original body, guided and adjusted by Bai Xiaoyu's mental power for a long time, naturally succeeding at once.

Originally, the little tiger inside the egg had only two small mental tendrils, but after enlightenment, five more grew, almost matching Little Bit.

After completing the enlightenment, Bai Xiaoyu took Dandan back. The breeding facility already had many eggs that had completed their enlightenment and been returned by their parents.

Bai Xiaoyu checked each egg one by one and placed them in the culture solution.

By evening, Melon Egg, who had successfully enlightened while basking in the sun, was returned. Now only one merman egg remained.

Not long after, Xiao Yue also returned with the merman egg. Usually calm, he couldn't help but show his joy, "Breeder Bai, I helped the egg enlighten successfully."

Bai Xiaoyu was also happy for him and congratulated him. Previously, seeing him and the seven others enjoying swimming in the pool like fish, he had guessed that his success rate would be higher, so it wasn't surprising.

With all the enlightenments completed, the parents left reluctantly one by one.

Three people of rare races walked last. Just outside the door, they saw two women in puffy dresses. One covered her face and walked stiffly, arms and legs moving awkwardly, while the other strutted confidently in high heels, with long red curly hair tied into two pigtails that swung back and forth as she walked. Her face was adorned with at least two centimeters of black eyeliner, rosy cheeks, and fiery red lips.

Seeing the three, she gently stroked her hair and blew them a kiss, "Brothers and sisters, want to fall in love?"

The three: "..."

Bai Xiaoyu and the others, who also witnessed this scene: "..."

It was dark, and the wind was strong. Who was this demon?

Among the three, the men from the zombie and merman races were pushed back a few steps by this scene, but the woman from the mermaid race actually raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, and lifted the 'beauty's' chin, saying, "Interesting."

Everyone looked at this previously cold beauty in shock, not expecting her taste to be so... unique?

Tao Limeng, seeing someone take the bait, especially the one he had the least hope for, even abandoned his male form to dress as a woman to mainly target the other two, but ended up hooking Xiaoxia.

Tao Limeng, speaking in a delicate voice, led the other away, "Let's chat under the moonlight."

He actually wanted to say, let the other bring more Xiaoxia, so they would have more topics to talk about. But revealing his true intentions too early wasn't a good idea.

Lou Hao was dumbfounded. Were mermaids' tastes really so low these days?

He turned to look at the remaining two, trying to throw a seductive glance, but the two quickly fled, disappearing in an instant.

Bai Xiaoyu, guessing the situation, patted Lou Hao on the shoulder, "Good job, go back and change now. There are many eggs and younglings here; don't scare them at night."

The interns laughed until their bellies hurt, and Lou Hao ran back in panic.

The next day, a new cargo spaceship arrived. This time, the tentacles didn't wait for the livestock to come out; they rushed in.

Soon, the livestock disappeared, leaving only impurities behind.

These ecological containers were quickly taken away by the remaining spacecraft, returning to their livestock planet, where robots cleaned the containers and collected the feces inside.

At this moment, a deep blue mass sensed the royal mental energy gradually recovering, suddenly feeling a sense of crisis. The huge black spot on the round body stared in a certain direction, determined to rush over before the egg hatched.

Meanwhile, Old Qi looked at the sleeping Bai Qi. Although there were some unexpected incidents during the surgery, everything ended well. Now, he just needed to wait for Bai Qi to wake up and see how things were.

What worried him most now was not Bai Qi but the restless insect prince. After all, this was the time when his control over him was weakest, hoping nothing would go wrong.

Just then, a huge explosion came from the east side of the laboratory.

Old Qi immediately contacted the head of the guards, "What happened?"

The other's voice was filled with fear, "That deep blue experimental subject went crazy today for no reason. All the drugs and anesthesia didn't work; it destroyed two laboratories in a row and broke out. We can't stop it!"

Indeed, his greatest concern had come true. Old Qi glanced at the still unconscious Bai Qi and gave the order, "At any cost, we must recapture this experimental subject. Deploy the ER series warriors and use the latest anesthetic rounds."

The entire base sprang into action, batches of ordinary-looking warriors rushing to the explosion site.

The warriors carried black-purple energy cannons and soon surrounded the frenzied mass, firing countless rounds from all directions at the deep blue tentacles.

After three hours of continuous attacks, the deep blue mass finally bled profusely, losing many tentacles, and could no longer support itself, collapsing with a loud thud.

Old Qi, looking at the recaptured insect prince, relaxed. He directed the guards to secure the prince and then went to the confinement area, examining the prince's current state and the pile of broken tentacles collected.

The research materials from the previous attempt were now sufficient.

Old Qi stared at the barely alive prince for a long time. The prince had resisted before, usually waking up quickly. Was the newly developed anesthetic too potent?

He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but the prince seemed weaker just now.

As Old Qi was pondering and preparing to study the injured prince, a cargo spacecraft unloaded its live cargo under the cover of night, as per the usual client request, without lingering. A few people boarded the spacecraft and quickly left the planet.

None of them knew that, as they unloaded the short-term ecological containers and recovered the empty ones, a basketball-sized deep blue mass had slipped inside.

After a day of flight, the spacecraft returned to their home planet, a popular livestock planet in the galaxy.

At this moment, the planet received another order, from D36. Although this planet was far away, it had been placing orders almost every few days for the past month, with the number of live livestock required increasing each time, making it a very stable customer.

A deep blue mass lay exhausted; shedding its entire shell was an extremely energy-intensive and life-draining process, one the Prince would rarely use unless absolutely necessary. Having used it this time, he would be unable to do so again for a century if faced with mortal danger.

Now, severely weakened, the Prince shrank into a small ball and quickly fell into a deep sleep. As he slept, his body automatically secreted a layer of mucus that masked his life signs. When the robots came to clean, they mistook this soft, sticky lump for animal droppings and swept it away.

Only when it was collected and mixed with other feces and fed into the appropriate machinery did it become clear that it could not be separated. It ended up in the substandard biofertilizer, which was then poured onto the outermost pasture, the easiest to cultivate.

The deep blue mass remained motionless, basking in the sun for two days. On the third day, as more substandard impurities and residues were scattered over him by the robots, a familiar scent within the pungent odor roused the sleeping mass.

The deep blue mass stirred slightly, and a black dot, like an eye, appeared on its previously translucent, round body. The black dot moved across the body and finally stopped in the direction of some nearby debris. The familiar scent inside the debris quickly woke the mass, though normally a Prince of the insect race would need to sleep for at least half a month, or even longer, after using this ability.

Now, the mass shook itself awake, and the mucus covering its body peeled off like a gossamer veil.

Soon, countless translucent tentacles appeared around it, each picking up the impurities and debris.

The blue mass suddenly twitched, as if sensing something, and slowly moved forward.

Ahead, a spacecraft was being loaded and was about to depart. It was from this spacecraft that the mass sensed the familiar scent.

But by the time the tentacles reached out, the spacecraft had already taken off.

The deep blue mass leaped up, but in its weakened state, it could only jump a meter high.

Watching the rising spacecraft, the mass leaped repeatedly, unwilling to give up.

Just as the spacecraft was about to initiate its jump, a giant eagle swooped down from the sky, its eyes fixed on the mass. It dived sharply, its sharp talons grabbing the poor Prince and tossing him around in various shapes.

Enraged, the deep blue mass attacked the eagle with its blue tentacles as the eagle flew over the spacecraft. The eagle, feeling pain in its talons, quickly released its grip.

The mass crashed onto the large spacecraft just as it initiated a spatial jump. Nearly flattened by the spatial storm, it clung tightly to the spacecraft with all its tentacles.

When the jump ended and the compressed mass recovered, it moved toward the cargo hold at the back of the spacecraft, gradually widening a gap and slipping inside.

Inside the cargo hold, a man was patrolling. The deep blue mass took advantage of his distraction and quickly darted onto an ecological container.

The man paused, having been engrossed in conversation with his companion and not paying much attention. He thought he had seen something fly past just now, but seeing the robots continue their work and no alarms sounding, he dismissed it as a hallucination from lack of sleep.

After the spacecraft completed its spatial jump and resumed its flight, the severely weakened mass, unable to find what it was looking for, began to attack the live livestock inside the container.

Meanwhile, a dozen spacecraft landed on the livestock planet, and a group of fully armed, aggressive people soon turned the planet upside down.
