“You know nothing. I scanned the entire planet. How could I be meticulous about every spot? Furthermore, there's strong interference here, and the terrain provides shielding. It's not strange that I didn't find anything.”

The False Court·Devourer seemed somewhat annoyed as it replied.

“Alright, I understand.”

Su Mo smiled. He successfully grabbed the Eternal Metal, along with the viscous liquid, and passed it towards his chest.

Immediately afterward, Su Mo opened the cockpit and climbed out.

He reached out and picked out the chunk of Eternal Metal, then unscrewed a bottle of mineral water to clean it.

This piece of Eternal Metal was a bit bigger than the one he had gotten before, at least 15kg. It was truly an unexpected delight.

Then, Su Mo returned to the cockpit and stowed the Eternal Metal.

“Now that you’ve taken what you want, send everyone away. I’m going to drain the energy here.”

The False Court·Devourer replied in a deep voice.

“Wait, let me ask you something. How much energy will you gain by absorbing this place?”

Su Mo asked seriously.

“One percent. The energy vein here can't compare to the insect king's nest. That's one of the reasons why I didn't notice it right away.”

The False Court·Devourer replied.

“If it's only one percent, then don't absorb it for now. It won't make much of a difference if you absorb it. It's better to leave it to do more things. I have some plans later that might require a considerable amount of start-up capital. Besides, we have it in our hands. If you really want to use it, you can absorb it at any time.”

Su Mo considered for a moment and tried to communicate with the False Court.

After listening to Su Mo's words, the False Court·Devourer was silent for a few seconds before replying, “Okay!”

Seeing that the False Court·Devourer had agreed, Su Mo took a deep breath and said, “Then, we can go ahead and start mining. It's finally our turn to get rich.”

“It's not that easy. Before you start mining, you need to deal with those uninvited guests.”

The False Court·Devourer replied in a deep voice.

Su Mo was slightly taken aback and asked, “Didn't you say there was no danger here?”

“I said there was no danger for the time being, but that doesn't mean there really isn't any danger.”

The False Court·Devourer responded.

Su Mo reacted, and his expression darkened.

Just then, the originally silent nest suddenly became restless.

One by one, Chiling flying insects of varying sizes emerged from the small tunnel openings in the surrounding stone walls.

They opened their mouths and let out chirps.

There were hundreds, if not thousands, of them.

Among them were several larger ones, but fortunately, there were no Type IVs. It seemed that the high-level insects were all dead.

“Boss, this is bad, we really stirred up a hornet's nest.”

Sun Duo Xiang looked at the swarming insects emerging one by one, and shouted in horror.

“Su Mo! Come back quickly.”

Xiao Wen noticed something was wrong and shouted at Su Mo immediately.

“You guys guard that entrance and provide long-range fire support. You don't need to worry about anything else.”

Su Mo took a deep breath, raised the lightsaber in his hand, and his eyes narrowed.

“Understood.”

Xiao Wen replied in a deep voice after hearing what Su Mo said.

“Wait, boss, are you going to take on so many insects by yourself?”

Sun Duo Xiang looked bewildered.

“Aren't you guys going to provide long-range fire support?”

Su Mo couldn't help but retort, but he wasn't too afraid.

At this time, accompanied by a Type III Chiling flying insect opening its mouth and emitting a piercing chirp, a large number of Chiling flying insects pounced towards Su Mo.

Su Mo had no fear. He pushed the power operation to the limit in an instant, and the Killing Blade's power unit emitted a piercing hum.

Immediately, the Killing Blade rushed forward like a Grim Reaper.

At this moment, the False Court·Devourer said to Su Mo in a deep voice, "Within twenty minutes, no matter what method you use, eliminate all the insects!"

Immediately afterward, a countdown timer popped up in Su Mo's eyes, and the False Court·Devourer did not give Su Mo any combat prompts.

Obviously, this was a very rare extreme training.

After hearing the words of the False Court·Devourer, Su Mo had no fear, and his blood became even more boiling.

“Okay!”

......

-----------------------------------------

Inside the Black Obsidian's command center, Li Ruiqi was checking the feedback from the various planetary operation teams.

In addition to the resource points allocated to everyone, the Federation actually controlled the largest share of resources.

At the same time, the official operation team dispatched by the Black Obsidian also started work, and the feedback from various regions was very good.

At this moment, a muffled sound of footsteps came from behind.

Li Ruiqi didn't even need to turn his head to know who was coming.

Spade and Auglas entered the command room at the same time.

“Greetings, Lord Spade.”

“Greetings, Lord Auglas.”

.....

The people in the command room greeted one after another.

Auglas raised his hand in response, and then asked Li Ruiqi.

“How is the mining going?”

“Very smoothly, and several exploration teams have even found small-scale Type II energy crystal mines. Although the content is not high, it is not bad. Why are you so free to come over today, Lord Auglas?”

Li Ruiqi replied with a smile.

“It's like this, Belo recently communicated some things with us.”

Auglas said with a frown.

“Oh, what is it?”

Li Ruiqi asked with some curiosity.

“You also know that the Yanas Kingdom's research on Zerg is deeper than ours. After their people studied the Chiling insect king and combined some information, they discovered that there should be a queen in this insect swarm!”

Auglas said in a deep voice.

“If I remember correctly, that insect swarm nest seems to have been divided to their side.”

Li Ruiqi asked with a solemn expression.

“Yes, they took the risk to explore it, but found nothing in the insect swarm nest, a complete mess, let alone any queen.”

Auglas continued.

“Is the queen a big threat?”

Li Ruiqi asked calmly.

Spade explained, “If it exists, the threat is definitely huge, at least Type V.”

“That's terrible, wait, that's not right, if there really is a queen, how could she not have appeared?”

Li Ruiqi frowned.

“This is just a guess, the specific situation is not clear. Maybe there is no queen, or maybe there is a queen, but she sensed the threat and fled.”

Spade explained.

“That's possible.”

Li Ruiqi pondered for a moment and replied.

“There is one more thing, Belo and the others, after studying the insect king's nest, their biological experts put forward a guess that the queen may be in a separate nest, because there is no place for the queen to live in the insect king's nest. Normally speaking, the insect king and queen's nest should not be too far away, so it is very likely that the queen's nest has been divided into our area. Their meaning is that if there really is a queen, then everyone needs to fight side by side to take down the opponent, and after taking it down, they can use resources to subsidize us, and then the queen belongs to them.”

Spade then explained.
