The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 229 - 141: The First Kill of the 6th Rank of the Expeditionary Army

Chapter 229: Chapter 141: The First Kill of the 6th Rank of the Expeditionary Army

Less than 5 miles away from the edge of the Beast King’s territory, Yun Dao began to recall information about the Beast King and reassessed her plan one last time.

"According to intelligence from the fleet, the 6th level Beast King in this area is a gigantic sea serpent.

Moreover, it seems to have mutated and is verging on becoming dragon-like, with a pair of horns grown on its head.

But those are not just for show; they are one of the cores of its superpower and can direct lightning...

As a sea serpent, even though it has reached level 6, it still cannot escape its species’ vulnerability to cold.

The previous cold disaster, as recorded by the fleet, indicates the serpent king remained dormant for a long time, which means ice-type spells are still effective.

Once we confront it, the simultaneous casting of [Frost Descent] by 10 ships can definitely slow its movements.

As for attack spells, the sea serpent with Thunder Power must have full resistance against thunder; therefore, [Heavenly Thunder], which has the most explosive power, cannot be used.

Fire Series spells are also considerably weakened by the ocean’s influence, but [Fierce Sunburst] can serve as the final harvesting method.

The main assault will be carried out with the Dark series spell [Corrosive Beam]; although it takes time to take effect, with [Frost Descent] to buy time, that should be enough to weaken it significantly.

Moreover, we don’t actually have to exhaust it to death; as long as we bring it down to the slaying threshold, we can directly harvest it!

For defense, yesterday we also rushed to modify many iron vessels to serve as lightning rods, coupled with the Water Series spells I specifically studied, they should be enough to withstand its lightning!"

Yun Dao had great faith in the spells she developed.

Yun Dao went through her plan thoroughly in her mind, and at the same time, a giant wave exploded at the front of the fleet.

A dark elongated shadow leaped out from the sea, its lower abdomen featuring a pair of five-fingered webbed claws, with dazzling lightning swirling around the long horns on its head, even in daylight.

— The serpent king had detected them sooner, coming forward to confront these provocateurs!

"Has the serpent king grown stronger? When did that happen?"

Doubts flashed in Yun Dao’s mind, but her instructions did not slow in the slightest.

The fleet immediately shined with magic power according to the plan and the instructions transmitted through their Spiritual Connection, a light blue shield rose above the fleet, and the lightning from the serpent’s head struck down.

Yun Dao felt a surge of numbness through her body at the blinding flash of lightning.

But through the magic power consumption shared by the witches maintaining the shield via the Spiritual Connection, she knew they had successfully resisted the strike.

The spells she had developed turned out to be more effective than she had imagined, and had not even relied on those lightning rods, merely using the shield alone to withstand it.

Without a moment of pride in her own spells...

Well, okay...

Yun Dao admitted, she did feel proud for a brief moment.

But that was only for an instant, as Yun Dao calculated the timing of the serpent’s descent, and even though her vision was temporarily robbed by the flash of lightning, she seized the brief moment when the serpent hit the water.

Even without visual guidance, [Frost Descent] landed accurately at the designated coordinates calculated through the Spiritual Connection.

In those brief two seconds, the witches’ powerful physical constitution allowed her vision to recover, and she saw a large portion of the serpent’s body frozen out of the water.

Everything was as she had calculated, and now it was time for—

[Corrosive Beam]

Several black beams didn’t attempt to attack the twisting long tail mid-air but focused on a small section of the body close to the solid ice.

This was also one of the serpent’s vulnerabilities; attacking just one part of its elongated body could severely damage it!

Apart from the few ships prepared for the final blow, the witches in the fleet didn’t pause at all, continuously replenishing [Frost Descent] and [Corrosive Beam], leaving no opportunity for the sea serpent.

The witches maintaining the shield didn’t relax their vigilance either, wary of the serpent’s death throes.

The segment of the serpent’s body, under the persistent erosion of special magic power delivered by [Corrosive Beam], continuously lost flesh and blood, on the verge of exposing the stark whiteness of its spine.

The serpent seemed to realize its peril and finally resolved to make its last counterattack.

Ignoring its own presence underwater, the horns once again intertwined with lightning.

Yun Dao, noticing the underwater flashes through the water, made a decisive move—[Fierce Sunburst]!

The red glow above the water’s surface and the pale lightning below erupted simultaneously around the icy surface, each in their own way, unleashing their energy above and below the water surface.

The brilliance created in that instant even surpassed the sunlight in the sky, birthing a second sun over this stretch of the ocean.

When everything had dissipated, the outcome was clear.

The patch of frozen sea ice had been sublimated under the dual pressure of the witches’ magic and the serpent’s superpower explosion.

The ships closest to the incident suffered varying degrees of damage, some even on the verge of sinking. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Through Yun Dao’s Spiritual Connection, the losses from this encounter were palpably felt

— Another hundred and fifty-seven comrades had permanently departed from their ranks.

As for the remaining injured witches, Yun Dao was not worried; throughout this period of battle, the witches’ self-healing ability had been proven.

As long as they were not killed instantly, that generally meant they could not die.

Had it been before, she would have first concerned herself with her subordinates, but having been a witch for so long, it was the witnessing of their prey’s outcome that truly exhilarated them now!

The witch who fell into the sea expressed severe protests.

But not for a moment did she feel sorrow for our witch who fell into the water; Yun Dao had already shifted her attention to the distant sea surface.

Their enemy, the sea serpent which was targeted for hunting, had by now become two floating dead segments on the sea, with visibly charred marks at the break.

"There’s no Level 6 first-kill...

Right, the first-kill appeared half a month ago.

The gap between people is really huge, that Lord who achieved the Level 6 first-kill must have already advanced to Level 5...

But I’m not too shabby either, once this sea serpent was eradicated, everything in the entire area that could threaten the witches no longer exists.

Next will be a thorough sweep of the entire zone, and once my sister comes out, advance to Level 5 and head to the next zone together!

The past Challenge Points Malls always had Zone Transfer Certificates, this time should be no exception.

Considering the current development of the fleet, we need to buy several more tickets this time, otherwise we might not have enough..."

Yun Dao rarely smiled, and at this moment, other witches in the fleet also gradually recovered and saw the corpses of their prey, excitement reverberated through their Spiritual Connections.

"All ships that can still move, set sail for me! Retrieve our prey!"

Yun Dao’s voice was transmitted both in reality and over the network, stirring a wave of excited responses.

"Yes!"

......

Unbeknownst to Bai Yi hiding in the territory of Sector 21, busy for several days, Bai Yi finally rested for a morning, ignoring various messages on the network and followed her heart in taking care of different Mutant Plants in her territory.

Along with planting new small flowers and grasses along with the crops she had once bred, although it ultimately likely increased the workload for her Engineering Ants...

Not until noon did she enjoy her offerings well, sending new updates of Insect Clan and new species along with some resources they needed to the instance, before Bai Yi once again plunged into work, resuming genetic breeding.

Although last night she had finished cultivating the building combining the brain machine and the Teleportation base station, and even her panel acknowledged this building in her superpower advancement task,

The follow-ups still required her continued involvement in "after-sales" service.

Such as the reproduction of the Brain Clan, Bai Yi did not perform any enhancement, instead completed it using the most primitive splitting.

Well, it’s just a smaller brain blob falling from the larger brain, then being planted on another Fungus Blanket.

Hey, congratulations, that’s one Brain Clan reproduction done.

Of course, if the surrounding Fungus Blanket area is sufficient, Brain Clan themselves can do all this with tentacles.

Additionally, there are the different Level base stations she envisioned in her plans; these also required her active cultivation, adjusted by the gigantification entry, but that’s not a bother and relatively less of a priority anyway.

Most critically, it was the ideas from the information about Bai Sheng she had received over the network earlier.

Part of that was also one of the after-sales prepared for the Space Storage Station, while the other ideas even better supplemented this aspect.

"Simply enabling witches to use this logistics system isn’t difficult, just need to fabricate a lifeform similar to my glove, fuse it with corresponding genes to serve as an interface, bypassing the limitation of witches unable to fuse too many superpower genes.

As long as within the base station’s radiation range, they can easily gain access.

As for obtaining bullets for firearms on their own...

Though I’m not familiar with firearms, it’s still simple to cultivate a small lifeform capable of continuously retrieving fixed items from the base station.

As for the design of the firearms, leave it to the witches to complete themselves.

Besides, Bai Sheng is right, currently using Brain Clan’s computational power solely to store the souls I produce is much too wasteful.

But letting Brain Clan control factories and such, at least needs the assembly line to be electronized, and I don’t understand the conversion of nervous signals to electronic signals, could only wait for Bai Fa and others to finish the Cycle Challenge and then figure it out.

And with Knight and Wade there, they should easily manage it...

As for now, maybe can take the opportunity to overhaul the Swarm Network a bit.

Currently, as more and more races proliferate in the territory, all sharing one network, even with simple permission level distinctions, it’s still too chaotic.

Building separate networks for each race on top of the overall network could better adapt to each race’s usage habits, and then later adjust according to the habits of each race.

As for Bai Sheng and Shang Ji, they just need to grant an additional administrator’s permission to continue managing.

Might as well establish an information retrieval system, making full use of Brain Clan’s idle processing power.

Hmm, the witch’s network might mimic the old network to build a more formal ’website’ system, as for the Insect Clan just..."

Idea by idea emerged in Bai Yi’s mind, packing her research schedule for the next few days full, once again returning to a life even more regimented than her school days.

When Bai Yi was next free, it was already noon on the 12th day of the Cycle Challenge.
