Chapter 1298: Giant Insect Cocoon
The insect’s sturdy limbs also secreted an extremely sticky glue that acted like a holeless web that could trap every lifeform within the sea.
With the Quiet Floating Hat Insect, the insects it produced could float on the surface of the sea, and any weaker lifeform would be trapped within the glue. In an instant, the sea would be cleared.
The glue was actually the Quiet Floating Hat Insect’s method of storing sustenance. In order to ensure the freshness of the sustenance, the glue would provide basic nutrients to the trapped lifeforms.
Liu Jie would be able to use this method to bring the weaker lifeforms away from the sea shore. Once the event was over, Liu Jie could order the Insect Queen to kill the produced insects. At that point, the glue would rapidly lose its stickiness.
This was a chance for the weaker aquatic lifeforms to survive the event.
The other rust-colored insect-species carcinoma fey that looked like a stone was called the Grounding Louse. It produced many young that hatched around 50 meters below the water’s surface.
Once the young hatched, they would quickly change their body to adapt to the depths of the sea. When they reached the bottom of the sea, they would start to quickly consume the rocks there while producing a strong and calcified item.
When the calcified items were stacked together, they would form a tall and steep stone peak.
The Grounding Louse had appeared on the shores of Raging Waves City, and it was rumored that the Spirit Guards had captured it.
At that time, the Grounding Louse had almost put a stop to Raging Waves City’s economy.
…
The rock towers they produced were so tall that they even protruded out of the sea’s surface. They almost turned Raging Waves City from a seaside city to a land city.
The Grounding Louse was able to reclaim land, but Raging Waves City did not want the rocks that it produced.
Raging Waves City used to be amongst the top 12 of the 36 major cities. But due to the Grounding Louse, Raging Waves City’s finances had dropped to almost zero within a year. This had also caused the Gao family’s ranking amongst the top factions to fall.

Raging Waves City’s finances only started to recover after five years of relying on resources from the sea. However, they were unable to regain their position as part of the top 12 cities of the 36 major cities.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the Grounding Louse had been a nightmare for Raging Waves City.
It was possible that this Grounding Louse that the Insect Queen controlled was the same one that had terrorized Raging Waves City.

Liu Jie had absolute control over the Insect Queen and the Grounding Louse.
Since the young produced by the Grounding Louse could produce calcified items and then eat them afterward, Liu Jie’s actions would not have any impact on Raging Waves City’s resources.
The stone towers produced by the Grounding Louse could also protect the creatures at the bottom of the sea.
The Quiet Floating Hat Insect could keep a lock on the surface of the sea while the Grounding Louse would be able to handle the bottom of the sea. With these two insect-species carcinoma feys working in tandem, no seaside city would be able to stand against them.
The Grounding Louse that had brought Raging Waves City to its knees was only Silver grade, while the one that the Insect Queen was controlling had reached Diamond X. As such, their powers could not be compared.
As Lin Yuan watched Liu Jie wield the army of insects, he felt that Liu Jie resembled more like a walking disaster as time passed.
However, Liu Jie’s method proved that every coin had two sides. The two insect-species carcinoma feys that could bring doom upon a shore were now guarding its safety.
Perhaps, Night Leaning Moon wanted Liu Jie to contract carcinoma feys because she wanted him to become both a walking disaster and an almighty wall.
Meanwhile, An He was happily playing with the bodies of the Hurricane Owlet Moths.
Zhang Cheng, Sun Jiang, and the elderly man had climbed out of the carriage.
Zhang Cheng was dumbfounded. He had practiced for more than an hour to soften his tone to its most gentle form. So why did An He still glare at him murderously when he woke An He up?
The elderly man caught sight of Zhang Cheng’s expression and silently expressed his apology before bending down to pick up one of the Hurricane Owlet Moths.
He peered at it before asking Sun Jiang, “Are there Creation Masters amongst the Five Thearch Soldiers members on the island? Tell him to come over to take a look at what this insect-species fey is.”
Sun Jiang looked slightly awkward as he replied, “We have two Class 4 Creation Masters, and they’re both in the main branch.”
Class 4 Creation Masters were treasures to Five Thearch Soldiers.
It had not been long since the Five Thearch Soldiers was established, and they depended on their martial force to climb the ranks of the top factions.
This was why they chose to butter up Coiling Dragon’s Valley.
Suddenly, the glimmer of an idea shone in Sun Jiang’s gaze. Since this was where the Sea Bliss Clan nurtured feys, they had to have stationed Creation Masters here.
As such, Sun Jiang decided to set out to find them.
But before he could begin, An He stopped him.
An He was not a Creation Master and could not tell what the Hurricane Owlet Moth was. But he was not keen to know what they were as they should not have appeared on the island in the first place.
An He knew that it was likely that the Hurricane Owlet Moths had appeared because they had been sent as scouts ahead of whoever was headed for the island.
Whoever was surveilling the island had to have their reasons. If they were also after the large whale fall, they would eventually have to show their face.
An He lowered his head and said to the light purple Earth Covering Dormant Insect, “Earth Covering Dormant Insect, start absorbing the energy from the island’s ground and turn into a cocoon.”
The Earth Covering Dormant Insect’s body went stiff. Soon after, it started to throb violently, and the sound reverberated throughout the island.
Soon after, the Earth Covering Dormant Insect’s body started to writhe wildly as it spat out light purple sap that turned into sticky threads.
The cocoon of an insect that was only about four centimeters long should only be about the size of a fist. However, the cocoon formed by the Earth Covering Dormant Insect was even larger than the breeding room that the Sea Bliss Clan had built on the island.
An He was dwarfed by the 20 meters wide and 25 meters tall cocoon.
