Mother of Insects

Chapter 75

Even if he would die in the next second, he hoped to die as a human being rather than as a monster.

Lin Xi heard the voice in his heart whispering.

Perhaps it was because he kept telling himself that no matter whether it was called "No. 1" or Xavier, this alien was always just a monster... That night, when Lin Xi woke up with the familiar palpitations, and then once again saw Xavier showing an attacking look in front of another sac that was about to be born, he didn't even feel angry.

Everything seemed like going back in time, or a nightmare reappearing.

Xavier's upper body stood upright, and his forelimbs were almost about to pierce the swollen fleshy sac.

Even though it always behaves timidly in front of Lin Xi, when it attempts to kill other creatures, no one can ignore its hideousness and terror.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Xi took a deep breath, then he asked.

He is very calm.

Because he had anticipated this scene long before.

The only thing that surprised him was that Xavier acted really quickly. Lin Xi thought it would wait until the new alien species were born, like "White". He didn't expect that after he fell into a coma again, Xavier, who had been given a new name, would be so impatient to attack his fellow creatures who were still developing.

"Lin Xi—"

On the contrary, Xavier himself felt uncomfortable for a moment after discovering that Lin Xi had woken up.

"Yes, I'm sorry."

Xavier suddenly put his arms behind his back and looked at the other party helplessly, with a little panic in his eyes.

Next to him, another pale insect shadow was twitching restlessly inside the sac.

Through the swollen translucent membrane, Lin Xi could already vaguely see its appearance.

It had a very similar appearance to "White", but unlike "White", it looked even more like Xavier this time. The inhuman feeling of the alien species was almost hard to discern. After sensing the murderous intent from Xavier, it very humanely stretched both its hands to the edge of the sac, and stared at Lin Xi in panic through the mucus and gelatinous outer wall.

thump-thump

thump-thump

thump-thump

Lin Xi gently pressed it on his chest.

The attachment and love from another new alien species once again connected with his spirit, and his instincts began to become active.

"Hiss..."

Lin Xi heard a threatening hissing sound coming from his throat, which was "He" warning Xavier to stay away from these new clans. He pursed his lips suddenly, and the extremely disgusting, monster-like mouthparts were stirring in his mouth.

Lin Xi felt an unprecedented desire in his heart. He wanted to attack Xavier because this king insect was an unqualified existence. Even though it had a strong body and efficient killing instinct, Lin Xi's instinct was constantly warning him that Xavier was posing a threat to the existence of the entire tribe.

Even though Lin Xi had tried his best to restrain his animal nature, the aura lingering around him still became sharp and full of hostility.

Xavier's body trembled, and then he took several steps back reluctantly.

"Lin Xi..."

It looked at Lin Xi pitifully, and it had no way to explain its current behavior.

All it knew was that it hated these newborn bugs.

It originally thought that it would relax after getting a new name and Lin Xi's unprecedented pity and love, but the feelings that occupied its soul became stronger and stronger, so strong that its instinct as a king insect could not suppress its dark emotions at all.

It should obviously reproduce the population as much as possible and give birth to more people - no, it hates other people of its kind appearing around Lin Xi.

It should obviously obey the Mother of Alien Species and help it manage its numerous and vast clans - it wanted to kill those clans so that they would never appear in front of Lin Xi again.

Xavier still remembers what he looked like when he was disguised as a star butterfly, and his deepest desire is to go back to that time.

It is the only one around Lin Xi.

Only it—

Then, in the darkness, Xavier opened his eyes.

Unfortunately, when its instinct and its desire were in stalemate, it missed the best opportunity.

Lin Xi woke up and saw its actions with his own eyes.

Xavier would not miss the unmistakable anger in Lin Xi's eyes.

It felt a tearing despair and pain.

"Lin Xi."

It murmured, waiting for the pain to come.

It has seen the dark red in Lin Xi's eyes, which belong to "Him", and the extremely obvious desire to kill... Xavier has already prepared that it may be eaten by "Him".

However, if that's the case, it doesn't matter... It already has a new name, a name given by Lin Xi...

So it has been...

What happened next was something Xavier could never have imagined.

“Puff—”

It was a wet piercing sound.

Then, blood belonging to an alien species continued to spurt out from the broken skin.

Xavier opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Xi in shock—

The latter had his eyes lowered and his face was unusually calm.

Pitch-black, slender claws like the god of death's scythe extended from under his nails.

It was these sharp claws that easily pierced the fleshy sacs that nurtured new life and directly penetrated the head of the new alien species that was about to be born.

“Woo woo woo… woo woo… hiss…”

The newborn alien did not die immediately.

It looked incredibly painful.

Thin, almost human-like arms dangled in the slime that coated its body.

Just like the "white" at the beginning, when it cried, it used the human-like whimpering sound that could touch Lin Xi the most. Only at the moment of death did it change into an extremely desolate insect chirping sound.

"Hiss..."

Eventually, the loud chirping of insects became fainter.

It died in front of Lin Xi with its deep blue eyes open, exactly the same as Xavier's.
