Chapter 188 Becoming the 'God of Insects'
"Uh! Maybe," Aburame Shisei replied vaguely.
He then ignored Xiaoqing's emotions, put down the wild fruit, sat in front of the wooden house, and ate the sweet and sour fruit while thinking.
After three months, we finally found a worthwhile place. There are a lot of insects here, and some of them can even generate chakra.
The gene pool here is so abundant that if we could establish a hive here, we might be able to cultivate many unexpected insects.
But he quickly began to ponder: Why do these insects possess chakra? Is it the result of natural evolution, or is there some special reason?
"Xiaoqing, have something to eat. Let's go explore the island together tomorrow."
"No, Master, the forest is not suitable for my flight. You should let Xiao Lai accompany you. Besides, you have so many new pets. I'm tired, let me go back to the petri dish to rest."
"In that case, you should go back."
You Nu Zhicheng did not force her to stay. He put Xiao Qing back into the petri dish and then replaced her with Xiao Lai.
Compared to Xiaoqing, Xiaolai was less individualistic and quickly became friends with the other new companions. With her high intelligence, she became the leader of the insects. Of course, most importantly, she was strong.
A few months ago, it ate two toads, and its body evolved. Now it can use natural energy and its strength has reached the edge of the quasi-Kage level.
Although these giant insects are enormous, they are slow-moving, and the strongest among them is only at the level of a Jonin, making them no match for it.
Over the next few days, Shisei Aburame explored the forest every day. He traversed the eastern part of the island and discovered many strange phenomena.
The plants here are all unusually large; not only the trees, but even the grass, flowers, and mushrooms are ridiculously big. He found a mushroom with a cap that was a full five meters in diameter; standing under it felt like hiding under a giant umbrella.
The insects here are also numerous, diverse, and varied in shape. Butterflies with wingspans exceeding five meters, centipedes three meters long, bees the size of a fist, and spiders as large as wheels are all small creatures that can be found everywhere.
These insects have virtually no chakra, while those that do possess chakra are larger, more aggressive, and seem to have a certain level of intelligence.
They only hunt other insects when they are hungry; they do not attack unless provoked.
Insects without chakra act entirely on instinct, fighting each other in a survival-of-the-fittest manner.
The creatures here seem to be stuck at a particular stage of evolution: some are beginning to evolve toward chakra, while others remain in a primitive state.
On the fifth day, the surveillance insect finally made a new discovery dozens of kilometers away.
Following the direction indicated by the monitoring insect, he passed through an arc-shaped valley tunnel, and suddenly the view opened up before him.
In the middle of the valley was an open area with a small lake in the middle, and there was a group of people by the lake.
Upon hearing the news, Aburame Shisei was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected there to be anyone here.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that they were a group of primitive people.
They were covered in animal skins, carried stone spears and axes, and had dark skin and disheveled hair.
They were fetching water by the lake; there were men and women, young and old, about twenty or thirty people.
He quietly observed the group of primitive people. These humans showed no signs of chakra, and even their speech was very simple, which Aburame Shisei couldn't understand at all; it was clearly a foreign language.
Primitive people used stone axes to cut tree branches, stone spears to stab fish, and leaves to wrap food; their technological level was roughly equivalent to that of the Neolithic Age.
Among them were several burly men wielding weapons, facing a large insect several meters long, seemingly hunting it.
Just then, a huge roar suddenly came from afar.
The primitive people's expressions changed drastically, and they all stood up, looking into the depths of the forest in terror.
A huge black shadow was approaching. It was a giant insect, similar in shape to a stag beetle, twice the size of the beetle they had encountered before.
It emanated a powerful chakra aura, even stronger than that beetle.
However, its target was clearly not those primitive people, but another insect that the primitive people were hunting.
"To think they possess chakra at the level of an elite Jonin! That's lucky!"
Seeing this, Aburame Shicheng immediately spread his wings, leaped onto the giant insect, and then punched it on the head: "Get down!"
The giant insect was quite strong and was still struggling, constantly thrashing and shaking its body, trying to shake him off.
It even opened its mouth and spewed out a large amount of acid, which it then detonated with its chakra, turning into a large area of flames.
This bug can actually use ninjutsu!
This was the only one of all the giant insects he had discovered that could use ninjutsu.
The other insects that possess chakra merely use it to strengthen their bodies; their fighting style remains quite primitive.
"You're great, become my partner!"
Aburame Shisei remained calm and composed, forming hand seals: "Spirit Summoning Technique!"
In an instant, countless black lines covered the giant worm's forehead. The giant worm struggled desperately, but was hit with another heavy punch.
The acid and flames it spewed out were all blocked by the wind barrier, and did not cause any damage.
"Still struggling."
Aburame Shisei unleashed his Wind Release technique, delivering another heavy punch. Moments later, the giant insect collapsed to the ground, allowing him to inscribe the technique onto its body.
After completing the summoning ritual, Aburame Shisei recalled the giant insect, which instantly fell into a deep sleep after entering the grid space.
Just then, he turned around and found that the primitive people had returned at some point.
When the primitive people saw him, they were initially filled with fear, then they whispered among themselves, occasionally glancing at his clothes.
Then a burly man who looked like a leader came out and spoke in a string of words.
Aburame Shisei couldn't understand, but from the other person's expression, he could tell that the other person was asking where the giant insect had gone.
Without a second thought, Aburame Shicheng summoned the giant insect again. The primitive people panicked when they saw the insect and scattered in all directions.
Until they saw the giant worm, tens of meters long, crawling beneath Ayame Zhicheng.
Everyone looked at it with disbelief.
Oil Girl Zhicheng took out a piece of dried insect from her bosom and threw it to the burly man.
The leader among them mustered his courage and stepped forward step by step.
He caught the dried insect, looked at it with suspicion, then brought it to his nose to smell it. His eyes lit up, he took a bite, chewed it carefully, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He handed the dried insects to the people around him, and after they tasted them, they all showed expressions of surprise and delight.
Then, the burly man suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, and the others followed suit.
Aburame Shisei was stunned: "Does she think I'm a god?"
