Chapter 278: The Path of Strengthening Insecticide_2

This time, after hunting a newly evolved Third Rank queen, these tiny anomalies began to be magnified.

Some of Yang Ming’s muscle fibers appeared in a chain structure, which once again enhanced his strength and resistance to blows. When his back muscle group contracted simultaneously, an “Angel’s Wings” structure faintly appeared.

He increased his maximum pulling force by twenty percent, grip strength by ten percent, and running speed under triple gravity without a load by fifteen percent.

Now, when passing through scanning-type instruments, it actually increased the possibility of exposure.

In future espionage operations deep behind enemy lines, he must find ways to enhance his disguise.

But the greatest enhancement was to his spiritual power.

The term “spiritual power” might not be entirely accurate; this thing was like telekinesis in fantasy stories, and neither Yang Ming nor Lyu could discern its formation principle.

Yang Ming had previously found it difficult to make his body float like the Valkyrie.

But now, he could easily resist standard gravity without any sense of fatigue.

The red energy membrane around him became more compact and could directly withstand the continuous firing of an ordinary laser pistol!

“How was this enhancement achieved?”

Yang Ming turned his head and asked, but neither Lyu nor 026 could provide an answer.

They kept watching the combat footage, the scenes of Yang Ming’s final fight with the queen.

Significant changes were evident in the Third Rank queen’s form.

This Mother Worm had just completed its evolution and had not evolved completely; its upper body showed a distinct humanoid form, and the mouthparts initially at its head moved to the abdomen, with a hazy insect face appearing on the head.

It kind of looked like a cockroach’s head.

Sixteen antennae appeared behind its head.

It moved very sluggishly and did not possess strong combat abilities, with only its antennae being somewhat troublesome.

The process of Yang Ming dealing with it was actually brief.

The Light Sword severed a few of its antennae, and Yang Ming directly lunged in front of it, dug into its abdominal armor, poured several shock grenades in, then chopped off the antenna piercing through Hera’s scapula and pulled Hera backward.

In the violent explosion, the lower half of the queen quickly became tattered and lost its combat capability.

Yang Ming did not hesitate much; with a few swift moves, he severed the queen’s nerve center, hoisted Hera, and rushed into the bridge’s lifeboat, barely escaping back to the Feinan before the New Federation Fleet arrived.

The summary of this battle …

When the Insect Swarm was around, the Mother Worm was the strongest.

Once the Insect Swarm was taken down, the Mother Worm became just another dish.

“Seems like the Insect Race isn’t all that scary,” 026 whispered.

Yang Ming laughed, “Don’t underestimate them, this Insect Race was a special case, a sort of benefit for me.”

Lyu gently nodded and explained,

“This queen Mother Worm was tormented by the New Federation for too long and hadn’t developed an Insect Swarm.

“Typically, a Third Rank Mother Worm can control at least tens of millions of battle insects, with long-range artillery insects capable of utilizing radiation energy.

“However, the boss has an innate advantage against the swarm. After the boss unleashed spiritual energy, that red shock wave severed the connection between the swarm.

“After the insects lost the Mother Worm’s control, they clearly showed timidity and reluctance to fight.”

026 quickly nodded beside her.

She merely wanted to praise the boss.

Yang Ming was lost in thought, staring at the screen.

After disposing of one Third Rank Mother Worm and nearly a hundred Second Rank adult insects, he experienced such a significant enhancement.

If he were to take down more advanced Mother Worms and exterminate more adult insects,

couldn’t he slowly make up the power gap between him and the Valkyrie?

Yang Ming’s eyes shone with increasing brightness.

This path was definitely feasible!

The New Federation planted time bombs in the Sherman Empire, and under “normal plot development,” these hidden mines would be triggered six years later.

What if he detonated these hidden mines in advance?

He wouldn’t need to do much, just detonate three to four of them, causing the insect swarm there to revolt early, and eliminate these yet-undetected insects before the Sherman Empire discovered them…

Yang Ming pulled up the long-unused “self-manufactured attribute board,” gazing at the freshly updated data, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Wasn’t the Sherman Empire his treasure trove?

Wasn’t this value far more precious than starting a brawl between the two major countries due to intelligence gathering?

The method to detonate dark mines was quite simple–once Yang Ming discovered the insect nest, taking a stroll there would trigger the insects to frantically develop.

Although he didn’t understand the underlying principle, clearly, the Ancient Gods were the hunters, and the Space Worm Clan was the prey.

As long as he killed the insects, he would become stronger!

“Uh,” Yang Ming suddenly grew worried.

If Po Suo, the elder sister, also encountered the Insect Race, wouldn’t she become stronger too?

Yang Ming suddenly felt a bit restless.

Without eliminating the Valkyrie, Yang Ming could hardly eat or sleep in peace.

Lyu asked, “Boss, how should we deal with Miss Hera? Should we take her back to the Luofeng Empire?”

“First, use the name of the Molly Miss Group to procure a fully enclosed transport ship,” Yang Ming said. “Have this transport ship dock on Ilando Star’s synchronous orbit and arrange a decent living environment for her.”

“Boss,” Lyu reminded, “it’s important for us to understand her current thoughts.”

Yang Ming wondered, “What other thoughts could she have? Isn’t she trying to stop the New Federation’s evil plan?”

Lyu replied, “If we sent the intelligence to the Sherman Empire, she might not necessarily agree.”

Yang Ming couldn’t help but ponder.

Lyu continued analyzing beside him,

“Miss Hera knows too much now, she was conscious at the time.
