Fang Yingwu hated the Insect Race’s nurses very much, but he also knew that wanting to take out their nurses was purely a dream.
At least in his fleet, there really weren’t many who could do that—everyone wanted to take out the Insect Race’s nurses during battle, but in practice, it was too unrealistic and could only be imagined.
If soone else said such a thing, he would just ignore it, but since Garen ntioned it—well, he planned to ignore it anyway, who knew if that scoundrel was up to so trick?
But in the end, he still had to say on the fleet channel, "Everyone, observe any movents of the Insect Race nurses."
If he didn’t say it, most people wouldn’t care; the Insect Race nurses... everyone was used to it, right?
The Insect Race nurses were really limited in the number of bugs they could heal—with over ten million Insect Races, only three nurses, how many could they heal?
But everyone had beco indifferent to the occasional falling green halo—thinking too much about it would affect combat effectiveness.
Yet since Fang Yingwu said it, everyone started observing. There were many high-tech devices available, collecting this information was simple.
But upon observation, an unexpected event occurred, "Damn, there’s really no green halo falling here."
"It’s been a long ti since one fell here, I thought the Insect Race nurses were looking down on ."
"You all shut up, I’m at the very front line, at least a green halo falls every minute, but up till now, for half an hour, I haven’t seen a single halo. I can responsibly say... the Insect Race nurses have run into trouble."
"You’re calling that the front line? I’m deep inside enemy lines, but really, there’s been a period without a green halo."
"Patrol Yao Guai is near the Insect Race nurses, feeling there are fewer Insect Races, but I might have been discovered... Zzzz~~"
People’s hearts have a balance, especially those on the battlefield, their perception is sharper, no one wants to ntion the Insect Race nurses, but really realizing the nurses are in trouble, the morale of the Human Race fleet instantly lifted significantly.
However, speaking of it, they are ultimately far from the main force combat, currently being besieged and not allowed to leave the battlefield, so the morale hasn’t risen to an overwhelming level.
Fang Yingwu, however, was very cunning, imdiately sending soone to shout through the public channel, addressing both his own warriors and projecting to the Insect Race, "The Insect Race nurses have been wiped out by an elite squad, reinforcents are coming soon, everyone be careful to protect yourselves and prepare for a counterattack!"
This was purely nonsense, but it did boost morale by so degree, while the Insect Race hearing this news experienced... a slight decline in morale, yes, just a slight dip, because the vast majority of the Insect Race have relatively simple thinking.
The insect swarm still launched attacks on the warships aggressively, with so Golden Core Insect Tribe expressing so doubts, not feeling the presence of the nurses anymore, but roughly speaking, among tens of thousands of Golden Core Insect Tribe, only three nurses, they couldn’t possibly attend to all.
Even if the nurses were still around, they wouldn’t know how many rounds it takes to get healed once.
The Nascent Soul Bug Race genuinely cared, they were always well taken care of by the nurses, occasionally having minor injuries couldn’t be attended to by the nurses, they didn’t mind, but losing the nurses made them rather uneasy.
Thus, three Nascent Soul Bug Race successively suggested searching for the nurses, with other Nascent Souls showing support.
However, they could only deploy three Insect Race Nascent Souls, the others had to watch over the battlefield—as for the already killed three by True Sage Diaoyu Seng, the Insect Race didn’t take notice.
These three Insect Race Nascent Souls did not lead a large number of Golden Cores to search, because inherently they were battle Nascent Souls, not control type Nascent Souls, accustod to acting individually, so two Nascent Souls only brought a few auxiliary Golden Cores.
The third Nascent Soul was a Sandworm, and it didn’t even bring any Golden Cores.
The three Nascent Souls searched for a while where the nurses disappeared, the Sandworm Nascent Soul helplessly expressed: I can’t sense the heat change when they disappeared, it seems like they vanished instantaneously,
Sandworms may appear clumsy, but their heat sensing abilities are top-notch, it was True Sage Diaoyu Seng who made a move, if it were any other random person, the likelihood of exposure would be very high.
A winged Flying Centipede expressed, I also can’t sense the Human Race ships’ breaths, sothing’s a bit strange.
It was most proficient in sensing breaths, moreover, as a Nascent Soul, its intelligence wasn’t low, for the so-called "elite squad" Fang Yingwu ntioned, it wasn’t very convinced—that was the enemy’s words.
Another Nascent Soul was a Spider, it wasn’t very adept at web weaving, yet evolved into a more combat-suited type, this situation isn’t uncommon in the Insect Race—individuals that rely solely on passive waiting to hunt prey find it hard to grow into real strong beings.
Not to ntion, waiting by the tree to catch rabbits rarely captures powerful prey, nutritional needs during growth phase can’t be t.
However, this Spider still could weave webs, thus retained its vibration sensing ability—this was the Spider’s innate skill.
It also stated it didn’t sense any residual vibration, while there were signs of spatial vibration, yet it couldn’t fully confirm this, furthermore it indicated, it couldn’t perceive more.
So it’s said, the Insect Race’s abilities are indeed strange, with endless thods erging, fortunately, True Sage Diaoyu Seng intervened, allowing cultivators from Tianqin to maintain their mysterious presence.
The investigation yielded no results, and this was certainly unacceptable, so the three Nascent Soul Bug Race decided to continue their search.
The Spider and Centipede initially wanted the Sandworm to stay, to have the three Nascent Souls cooperate in the investigation, but the Sandworm dismissively expressed that they were not qualified to coordinate with it, then swaggered off.
This led to the Spider and Centipede also separating, each of the three Nascent Souls acting independently, which matched the characteristic chaos of the Insect Race.
However, unfortunately, the hunter lurking in the shadows was a True Sage, possessing a perception far beyond that of a Nascent Soul.
True Sage Diaosou had long noticed these three Nascent Souls, but since they were investigating the "nanny disappearance" matter, other Nascent Soul Bug Race mbers would pay attention even if they weren’t involved in the investigation, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to act rashly.
With the investigation yielding no results, other Nascent Soul Bug Race mbers withdrew much of their attention, and the three Nascent Souls separated.
However, although True Sage Diaosou was far from them, he keenly noticed that the three insects each displayed abnormal temperature, aura, and vibration changes, which were very subtle but lasted for a while, these couldn’t escape his perception.
So the separation of these three Nascent Souls from the Bug Race actually harbored so trickery, and as for what specific trickery, Diaosou, having lived for thousands of years, could guess with his toes: it was rely a pretense of separation to mislead the attacker.
This strategy is very rudintary and easy to counter, just ignore it — the opponent can’t be certain whether the attacker has left, so as long as they drag on for a period, the opponent’s vigilance will naturally decrease.
Only those very reckless types would fall prey to such calculation.
Diaosou could afford to wait, but seeing the Human Race Warship besieged by the Bug Race, he pondered for a mont and then returned to the place where Human Cultivators gathered to briefly explain the situation.
He didn’t hold much expectation for those in the warship, but witnessing them being exterminated by the Bug Race made him uncomfortable.
So after his explanation, he subtly remarked, "Those humans’ ammunition and energy might be running low."
"So, should we intervene to rescue them?" Unexpectedly, it was the relatively cold Elder Qinghuang who asked this question.
But his next words showed how ruthless he truly was, "If the warships decrease quickly, the opportunities will also diminish."
Feng Jun couldn’t help but glance at him, "Elder Qinghuang is quite skilled at leveraging tools."
Elder Qinghuang didn’t feel any derogatory aning in his words, he casually replied, "Interdinsional warfare is always brutal, and if necessary to hold back the opponent, even fellow sect mbers could be regarded as tools ... sacrifices must be made for survival."
Speaking of this, his mood did beco sowhat despondent, finally sighing quietly, "I have been treated as a tool, and I bear no resentnt towards the sect, fortunately, I survived."
Regarding the humans in the warship, he offered no judgnt, but his stance was already clear — sect mbers may be sacrificed for victory, so sacrificing outsiders for gain is no big deal.
His remarks weren’t the refined selfishness doctrine but rather, sacrificing the minority for the majority.
If this theory were placed in the Earth Realm, it would likely draw fierce criticism, but that’s genuinely how he thought.
What he wanted now was to subtly suppress the Bug Race’s arrogance, but he was doing this not for the entrapped humans, but for greater benefit.
No one else said anything, Diaosou glanced at him, and asked indifferently, "If I were to take you there, could you discreetly kill a Nascent Soul from the Bug Race?"
Elder Qinghuang pondered then responded, "If it’s a planned surprise attack, I am confident I can instantly kill a Nascent Soul from the Bug Race, but if it requires secrecy... that might be a bit challenging."
Diaosou looked at the other elders, and spoke solemnly, "Who feels confident? If soone can instantly kill one Nascent Soul, I can eliminate the other two from the Bug Race imdiately."
Yaoyang, being Elder Yuangang, couldn’t guarantee he could do it discreetly, and said restlessly, "Why must it be discreet?"
Diaosou replied casually, "Because we need to conceal our presence, make the Bug Race believe it was done by the others ... the exposure of Tianqin Cultivators is inevitable, but before that, delay as much as possible."
Yi Jue glanced at Feng Jun but remained silent, knowing he t the requirents but since he didn’t speak, she wouldn’t volunteer the information.
However, how could Diaosou not notice this glance? So he looked at Feng Jun, "Feng Xiaoyou, can you do it?"
Feng Jun hesitated slightly at that mont but ultimately made his decision, nodding, "I can do it."
Born as a human, certain bottom lines must be upheld. He didn’t know the nature of the people he had to save, given that humans from different worlds could already be regarded as different races, but since soone was indeed going to act, he couldn’t simply turn a blind eye.
