"So, if there’s anything you need, please don’t hesitate to tell us. We of the Divine-Locust Clan have a rule: whoever can contract with the Bug Clan’s Queen gains the highest authority within our clan. Although you are not one of us, your presence here is likely a fated arrangement by our Divine-Locust ancestors. We will show you the same respect."
Hearing this, Chen Mo finally understood why they were willing to offer him something for free.
This reminded Chen Mo of the Maji Village villagers, who had been condensing the Source of Life.
He was wondering if he could also freeload some Source of Life here.
However, looking at their emaciated state, as if a gust of wind could scatter them, Chen Mo hesitated to make his request. The people of Huangfeng Village seemed so frail, as if they were on their last breath.
He was genuinely afraid that if they offered up even a little of the Source of Life, they might immediately perish.
Seeing Chen Mo wanting to say something but then swallowing his words, the Lord of Huangfeng Village immediately prostrated himself and said, "Respected one of the Destined People, please do not hesitate to make any demands. Unless it is beyond our capabilities, we will do our utmost to fulfill them. Serving you is the highest honor for our Divine-Locust Clan. Please, grant us this opportunity."
Chen Mo found it quite peculiar. He had never seen anyone begging to be given tasks. This truly was bizarre.
However, in a world teeming with Alien Races, each with their own unique customs, Chen Mo wasn’t overly surprised.
He opened his mouth and said, "I was thinking about the Source of Life. However, considering your current condition, I feared that condensing it might harm you, so I decided against bringing it up."
"Oh, the Source of Life! Rest assured. Although we of the Divine-Locust Clan may appear frail, it’s merely a state we maintain to adapt to our current environment. We are not truly as weak as we look."
As the Clan Chief spoke, Chen Mo saw his body visibly begin to expand.
In mere seconds, the Clan Chief, who had been mere skin and bones, transformed into a muscular superman standing one point eight meters tall.
If the Clan Chief had seemed frail moments ago, he now looked capable of felling a divine beast with a single punch.
Chen Mo’s Eye of Origin also observed that the Clan Chief’s Divine Power was extremely high. He had indeed misjudged him earlier based on appearances.
"It seems I misjudged you," Chen Mo said with a laugh.
Then, like a magic trick, the Clan Chief’s body began to shrink rapidly, reverting to its previous emaciated state. He looked at Chen Mo, smiled, and said, "So, please, feel free to tell us if there’s anything you need. As for the Source of Life, due to the heavenly path’s rule, we cannot condense it at will. Please do us a small favor. Once you plete this task for us, we can then condense the Source of Life for you as a reward."
Chen Mo asked, "Then, what might this task be?"
"To be honest, living here, we don’t have many needs, nor are we currently facing any dangers, so there aren’t really any tasks we can assign. However, we of the Divine-Locust Clan have always been fascinated by the Bug Clan but have never had the opportunity to interact with them. Now that the Bug Clan’s Queen is present, I wonder if she could spare a few members of the Bug Clan for us to study?"
