The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 102 - 18 Extraordinary Relics

After night fell, this city in ruins sank into silence.

Unlike in the territory, where there were occasional novel gadgets from the master and a few sisters to chat with, Bai Sheng and Bai Fa quietly waited near the campfire for that touch of orange.

"Cat Boss, you’re here! Does the master have any directives?"

"This is food for you, and in terms of directives, there indeed are some."

The orange cat landed on the stone used as a bench and pressed its paw in the air toward a vacant spot, causing several tree fruits and some dishes in wooden plates to appear on the ground.

Those wooden plates were taken from the territory, after all, it made sense to take away the dishes once the food was eaten. If Bai Yi took away the dinner with the plate, it would be unreasonable.

The aroma of the food wafted to the two, causing their throats to gulp involuntarily, but they still shook their heads,

"Cat Boss, first tell us what the master needs us to do!"

"There are mainly two things, one, Little White Clothes asked me to bring these."

The orange cat’s paw made a virtual gesture, releasing a group of tiny insects no bigger than a fingertip.

As members of the Insect Swarm, they immediately connected with the needle erosion insects’ network upon appearing, swiftly exchanging information within the swarm.

The Fei Wen could merge into the insect swarm without any proof, becoming part of the swarm.

The needle erosion insects immediately received Bai Yi’s intention from the Fei Wen’s group consciousness.

"These Fei Wen are Little White Clothes’ latest creation, their combat abilities are not strong, but they are extremely discreet with excellent reconnaissance capabilities.

The second thing is about the Transcendent profession. Today, we learned a lot of knowledge about the Transcendent world in Zhuchen Palace.

The Transcendent in this world adopt a ritual to start a profession, and thereafter continuously advance by taking on the next profession through rituals to enhance their Transcendent level..."

The orange cat gave the two a detailed account of all the knowledge it and Bai Yi learned today, finally stating Bai Yi’s task:

"She wants you to collect relics of Transcendents or Extraordinary Plants.

Besides, there’s also the job ceremony of the ’Gardener,’ you already know how to operate it. Little White Clothes’ idea is to find a way to let the swarm attempt the profession.

It is up to you whether or not to take on this Transcendent profession yourselves."

"Transcendent relics? As long as a Transcendent dies, there will be some?"

After the orange cat finished speaking, Bai Fa asked right away.

They only killed two Transcendents today?!

"Yes, everyone has them, but the relics of Level 3 and below Transcendents will gradually lose effect with consumption."

Bai Sheng quickly stood up, excited,

"Today, in this city ruin, we found a Transcendent squad and successfully killed two Transcendents!

Perhaps there are Transcendent relics!

Also, we obtained something suspected to be a Divine Fragment, seemingly related to Space, and we’re going to show it to Cat Boss you."

"Meow? Space?"

Upon hearing this keyword, the orange cat immediately became interested and leaped onto Bai Sheng’s head.

"What are you waiting for? Let’s check it out!"

The key was placed in the backyard of the house where they rested, watched over by needle erosion insects.

However, the orange cat couldn’t figure out what was special about this key twisted from wire after looking around. Instead, it inadvertently triggered the key’s negative effect which commanded it for ten seconds.

And despite being at Level 5, it was entirely unable to struggle, forcibly frozen, with only its thoughts running in its head.

In the end, in a fit of anger, the orange cat tossed it into the superpower-created space.

Irritated, it warned Bai Sheng and Bai Fa not to disclose this incident before following them to the courtyard where today’s battle took place.

Under the cover of night, the two immediately noticed anomalies.

The two corpses had naturally been "processed" after the battle and had already reduced to bones.

But in the darkness, the broken sword now emitted a faint golden glow.

This time, the orange cat didn’t want to be the first to go past it, opting to stay atop Bai Fa’s head, ordering Bai Sheng to go and probe.

However, this time, it wasn’t as sinister as the key.

Though lacking a panel, upon grasping the broken sword, Bai Sheng understood its function.

It could shroud them in Holy Light Armor, transform the broken sword into today’s Captain’s Radiant Cross, and allow the usage of Holy Light Blessing, mastering some fire series Spells like the Fireball Technique.

The negative effects did not immediately manifest, and without a panel, Bai Sheng couldn’t directly check them.

So, for now, it appeared to be a highly useful weapon.

On the other hand, that pile of bones didn’t present any obvious anomalies until Bai Sheng tried them piece by piece, finally finding the most distinctive one.

It was the skull, the most apparent part, yet Bai Sheng picked it up last.

It had weaker abilities compared to the broken sword, only enhancing Constitution slightly and granting some minor Fire Series Spells.

Similarly, it was stored away, ready to be taken back for Bai Yi to confirm its exact effects.

Before leaving, Bai Sheng reported the plan to attack a camp to the west. After the orange cat got the information, it prepared to leave as soon as possible to take the collected Abnormal Objective back.

Downstream of the Moonlight River

Milan didn’t know how far he had drifted, his right arm was immobile and most of his strength had been exhausted, making it impossible to land on the protruding riverbanks on both sides.

Suddenly, he noticed a glimmer of light on the water ahead.

Milan quickly focused and looked closely.

Under the illumination, the sun pattern almost covering the entire sail glowed brilliantly.

"It’s the Church Court’s ship! I’m here! Save me! I have critical intelligence!"

Milan quickly realized that even if he used his remaining strength to shout, it wouldn’t carry through the sounds of the water to the ship, and they wouldn’t be able to find him in the dark river empty.

But he was too weak to swim using his body alone, so he strained a bit of Spiritual Power recovery, stirred up a fierce wind on the water, blowing him toward the ship.

"Look over there, isn’t it there?"

"Quick, help!"

Calls came from the ship, and Milan saw someone jump down, together pulling him out of the water.

Milan mustered his remaining strength and told the person supporting him,

"Hurry, take me back to South Expedition Castle. I have crucial intelligence..."

The person recognized Milan’s leather armor attire and quickly called the nearby sailors to find the Captain.

"Return to port! Return to port..."

When Milan awoke again, he found himself in a somewhat unfamiliar room, but the sounds of training and shouts outside made him realize he was back.

His right hand was wrapped in white bandages into a lump, unable to exert force, but the good news was that sensation had returned.

He struggled to rise from the bed, opened the door, and was immediately spotted by the woman on watch outside.

"You, you’re awake!

You can’t go out so quickly; your injuries need rest!"

The woman, after a brief surprise, quickly regained her usual demeanor.

"I have urgent intelligence to report. I need to see the bishop at once!"

"Alright.

You can step back now..."

An unexpectedly gentle and warm voice came from nearby, a robust man clad in a long robe with a golden sun pattern slowly approached.

Holding a green-black metallic staff that twisted into countless metal wires at the top, it felt like staring directly at lightning and storms.

His broad muscles and a shining bald head left no doubt about his "strength," yet his face induced an intuitively warm and reliable feeling, garnering trust effortlessly.

Upon seeing this man, both hastily addressed him,

"Bishop!"
