Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Lin Yuan now had a precise understanding of the Hypha Tapeworm.

Liu Jie had indeed evolved the Hypha Tapeworm to Suzerain X/Myth II.

After the Hypha Tapeworm transformed into a fairy, it became an allusive creature. It had a head of flowing white hair and a fresh cuteness.

Every time it met the gaze of someone else, its small face would flush red. It was much shyer than Elegance.

However, the Hypha Tapeworm was not careless or sloppy at all in its battle against Lin Yuan.

Under Liu Jie's feet, the territory of fungi started to spread towards Lin Yuan at an indescribable speed.

Eight wings opened on Lin Yuan's back, and he flew into the air, leaving the ground to Liu Jie.

Lin Yuan was in no rush to attack. He wanted to experience the pressure from Liu Jie's carcinoma feys.

Liu Jie did not need to issue instructions to the Hypha Tapeworm. It had already used Long Body Split in the carpet of fungi.

Small tapeworms hid themselves in the carpet of fungi. Anything that touched the carpet of fungi would be attacked by the Hypha Tapeworm, and the tapeworms would reproduce in the entities' bodies.

The sudden expansion of the carpet of fungi across the arena of clouds was shocking.

However, Liu Jie was only just getting started.

Liu Jie was battling Lin Yuan because he wanted to prove that he could perform his job as Lin Yuan's retainer.

Just like the insect queens who wanted to report to the insect empress, Liu Jie was going to demonstrate his full power.

The Dimensional Light Moth produced the Parasite Decay Locust.

During the battle against Lu Ou and the Freedom Federation envoy group, the Parasite Decay Locust was killed by Lu Ou's major devil's skill, Family Clan Adjudication.

Luckily, the Radiance Federation had a second Parasite Decay Locust.

The Parasite Decay Locust did not meet Liu Jie's standard, so he did not select it as one of the candidates to be transformed into a fairy by the Firefly Demon Fetus.

Nonetheless, Liu Jie still nurtured this insect-species carcinoma fey that could establish an army.

The Parasite Decay Locust's female insect had a distended stomach. At the instant that it appeared, a plume of yellow smoke burst out from the Parasite Decay Locust's abdomen. This was not because the Parasite Decay Locust had an upset stomach but because it was laying minuscule eggs.

The eggs landed on the carpet of fungi created by the Hypha Tapeworm and absorbed the energy from the carpet of fungi.

The Parasite Decay Locust's offspring flew out from the carpet of fungi-like spring bamboo sprouting after a shower of rain.

When the audience saw this, they felt that Liu Jie was even more terrifying than a highly active Class 5 alien insect dimensional rift!

But this was still just the tip of the iceberg for Liu Jie.

Two Earth-Wrecking Old Burial Insects appeared after the Parasite Decay Locust. A burst of black smoke rose in the wake of the Earth-Wrecking Old Burial Insects' movements.

To other feys, the barren land would be extremely toxic.

But for insect-species carcinoma feys, the barren land replenished their energy.

The two Earth-Wrecking Old Burial Insects worked together with the Hypha Tapeworm to strengthen Liu Jie's formation.

Liu Jie's army continued to grow, and it seemed to cover the entire sky.

Just as everyone thought that Lin Yuan was going to begin his counterattack, he still did not move.

Liu Jie was also in no rush to attack Lin Yuan.

Instead, he raised his left hand, and a chubby two-winged fairy with purple hair and eyes let out a strange insect cry.

Soon, the space started to fold over itself, and the Parasite Decay Locusts that filled the sky entered the folded space, fading into dim shadows.

It had not been long since Liu Jie had transformed this insect-species carcinoma fey into a fairy.

The Dimensional Light Moth was Liu Jie's moving arsenal. The Illusionary Layer Caterpillar was a battleground-expanding tool that allowed Liu Jie to wield his maximum power in a small space.

A small space would limit the growth of the insect-species carcinoma feys.

When Liu Jie manually created a wide space, and the Illusionary Layer Caterpillar delivered the alien insects it had stored, the alien insects would rush out like water into a latrine that had been flushed.

After releasing the Illusionary Layer Caterpillar, Liu Jie released a green fairy with short hair.

Lin Yuan nodded his head to himself.

After some internal struggle, Liu Jie still decided to transform the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug, which was skilled at defense, into a fairy!

Lin Yuan had spent a long time urging Liu Jie to transform the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug into a fairy.

Previously, Liu Jie had single-mindedly focused on attack. But for an insect army, it was more important for Liu Jie to prioritize his self-preservation.

Liu Jie was the foundation of the disaster of insects. If something happened to him, the disaster would not aid the humans but would harm the humans instead!

Less than a minute had passed since Liu Jie laid out his formation. However, Long Tao, Xia Qing, and the other members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence were all gripped by fear.

Long Tao and Xia Qing gulped.

They admitted to themselves that even if they brought their Barren beasts right out of the gate in a fight against Liu Jie, there was no way they would last even a minute.

Long Tao and Xia Qing were rather familiar with Liu Jie. They knew that the insect-species carcinoma feys he had summoned was just a small portion of the total number of insect-species carcinoma feys he had in his arsenal.

After Liu Jie summoned the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug to protect himself, he did not summon that insect-species carcinoma fey that could create special terrain.

There was no point in changing the terrain in a fight against Lin Yuan.

He had witnessed how Lin Yuan had fused with the Abyss Red Lotus to suppress all of the factions in the subterranean world and conquer it.

When he was facing Lin Yuan, the insect armies created by his insect-species carcinoma feys were useless.

Liu Jie's current intention was to report to Lin Yuan. He summoned the Blade Queen Bee that had reached pinnacle four wings.

500 Vibrating Armor Ladybugs shot out from the Dimensional Light Moth's body.

These Vibrating Armor Ladybugs were meant to be sacrificed so that the Blade Queen Bee could produce the Blade Worms.

It did not take long before 500 Blade Worms crawled to the front of the insect army.

Soon, Liu Jie released three Exploding Body Dung Beetles.

At first, there was only one Exploding Body Dung Beetle. But later, Liu Jie obtained one from the Freedom Federation and Azure Federation each.

The three Exploding Body Dung Beetles formed a small team and could produce thousands of egg casings in a second.

Every egg casing could produce more than 300 Exploding Body Dung Beetles.

There was a special fluid within the Exploding Body Dung Beetle. It used the energy in its body to stabilize the fluid. Once the Exploding Body Dung Beetle used up all the energy in its body, the fluid would explode.

The force of the explosion was just as powerful as that of the Flowing Plasma Electric Insect and Electromagnetic Chrysalis.

Liu Jie did not transform the three Exploding Body Dung Beetles into fairies because they were not considered functional-type insect-species carcinoma feys. Liu Jie's power would not increase by much by transforming them into fairies.

Nonetheless, the three Exploding Body Dung Beetles were still part of Liu Jie's main pillar of power.

All of the audience members on Star Web, the commentator, and reporters were staring with stupefaction at Liu Jie while he established his army while also looking at Lin Yuan suspiciously. They did not understand why Lin Yuan was quietly watching Liu Jie build up his combat power without doing anything.

It was likely that the power of these insect-species carcinoma feys could cause just as much damage as the dead spirits crisis.

If the insect army and dead spirits clashed, it was possible that the dead spirits would not be able to defeat Liu Jie's alien insects.

This thought set many people at ease.

The core of Liu Jie's insect army was decided after extended discussions with Lin Yuan. It was an insect-species carcinoma fey called the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle.

Liu Jie had transformed the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle into a fairy long ago, and he had been concentrating on nurturing it all this time.

Liu Jie was only done establishing his sensational formation after ten minutes.

He only released the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle at the end.

Once it appeared, the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle used its signature ability, Spread Wings Insect Cry.

The insect cry reverberated around the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle.

In an instant, all the insect-species carcinoma feys lit up with bright golden light. This was because the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle had covered the other insect-species carcinoma feys with metal-type.

The metal-type ability could protect the other insect-species feys as well as boost them.

After releasing the insect cry, a loud drumming noise could be heard from the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle's abdomen. This was a result of the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle's Insect Abdomen Battle Drum.

The drumming from within the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle's abdomen would cause other insect-species lifeforms to go into a frenzied state of bloodthirstiness.

While it used Abdomen Battle Drum, a long halberd formed on the top of the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle's head.

The long halberd protruded into the sky like a flagpole. This boosted the morale of the insect army and also increased their endurance.

It could be said that the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle alone had managed to raise the combat power of the insect army by at least five times.

With this boosting ability, the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle deserved to be the core of Liu Jie's insect army.

Lin Yuan knew that the insect army was about to attack him.

Suddenly, he noticed that the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle had once again lit up with golden light.

The golden light contained a red hue, and the overall power of the insect army was raised again at least twice.

This motivation was also reflected back to the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle, allowing it to wield the power of a Creation Breed fey despite only being Suzerain/Myth II.

A strange expression came across Lin Yuan's face when he saw this.

He used True Data to check on the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle.

[Fey Name]: Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle (Fairy)

[Fey Species]: Scarab species/large rhinoceros beetle species

[Fey Grade]: Suzerain (10/10)

[Fey Type]: Insect/Gold

[Fey Quality]: Myth II

Abilities:

[Metal Forge Angle]: It can absorb every type of metal and apply it to its horns to increase its damage power.

[Spread Wings Insect Cry]: When it flaps its wings, it can attract other insect-species feys and apply its metal characteristics to them to provide them with protection.

[Halberd Banner]: Raise the halberd high in the air, and it will become a banner amongst the army of insects that will motivate them and increase their endurance.

[Insect Abdomen Battle Drum]: The abdomen will start to move and produce a roaring noise. The insects that hear the noise will go mad with bloodthirst.

[Metal Solidification Style]: Absorb all of the metal attributes on its body and turn its legs, horns, and shell into battle attire. The metal attributes will boost its combat abilities. (The metal attributes will be used up in the process of boosting).

[Insect Soul Undestroyed]: The souls of the insects that have been protected by the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle will gather around it and form a stance. The stance of insect souls can help the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle to sustain damage while boosting its combat powers.

[Broken Halberd Fury]: When the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle's energy reaches a limit, it will be forcefully shrunken by breaking the halberd. This will be followed by a frenzied state where the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle will attack the target continuously. With each unit of energy that is used up during the attack, its injuries will be healed to a certain extent.

Exclusive Skill:

[Insect Death]: Whenever an insect dies around it, its metal characteristics will change from its original defense mode to offense mode.

[Fission Halberd]: When the insect-species feys die, the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle will experience a fission effect and a halberd will be formed. The halberd can form a territory and provide metal fission effects to other insect-species feys.

[Twofold Motivation]: When boosting other insect-species feys, the other insect-species feys will be motivated, and the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle itself will also be motivated. The motivation will boost the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle's various statistics.

Lin Yuan now knew the effects of the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle's Myth Breed exclusive skill, Twofold Motivation.

This was the first time he saw Broken Halberd Fury and Fission Halberd.

The Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle was akin to the general of the insect army.

Apart from being able to boost the insect army, it was also extremely powerful as a singular entity. It was Liu Jie's strongest source of combat power!

Broken Halberd Fury rose Liu Jie's individual combat power.

Fission Halberd could boost the entire insect army. This boosting made use of the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle's metal attributes.

Once the metal attributes formed a halberd, it created a territory that boosted the insect army. This ensured that every halberd formed from a metal would be able to boost an insect-species fey that needed to be boosted.

Lin Yuan knew that Liu Jie was trying to use this battle to prove his own power.

Lin Yuan saw Liu Jie as his friend. In truth, he was not concerned by Liu Jie's power. Liu Jie's value did not stem from his power.

Although Liu Jie was not talented at internal governance, his way of thinking was the opposite of Wen Yu. When the two of them communicated, they could come up with a comprehensive and grounded decision.

However, the power that Liu Jie was demonstrating had sincerely startled Lin Yuan. He had no idea that Liu Jie had already grown to such a degree!

Lin Yuan was very happy for Liu Jie.

If he could get his hands on more items like the Firefly Demon Fetuses, Liu Jie's power would continue to grow.

Since Liu Jie had blown his battle trumpet, it was time for Lin Yuan to respond!
