Chapter 435: Chapter 114 If We Switch Roles_2

The shuttle remained idle, continuously maintaining its invisibility, staying put and always ready to take off.

Should the Mini legion encounter any emergencies requiring retreat or shift of position, they wouldn’t necessarily need to move into the “Cloud Rainbow” interstellar battleship.

The Mini legion could opt to return here and board the shuttle.

Be it advancing or retreating, their actions were flexible and unconstrained.

“Proceed with search.”

The door of the shuttle behind them closed, and Sandra promptly established a “spiritual link”, drawing everyone into mental communication mode and issuing instructions.

It was unclear whether Sandra had minored in True Spirit Wizard studies or had entirely transitioned from the Elemental Wizard faction to the True Spirit Wizard faction.

Viewing from the proficiency of her witchcraft exertions, she was in no way inferior to Assad.

The entire Mini legion immediately obeyed and assembled into a search formation.

Eight members responsible for reconnaissance and combat advanced, one standing out at the front to lead the way;

Followed by 3 members side by side, performing surveillance on both sides, and reconnaissance in the middle;

Next came another group of three, also on surveillance on the flanks and central reconnaissance;

Finally, one member trailed behind, covering the rear.

Two groups responsible for biochemical research were sandwiched between the two groups of three, relishing protection.

Sandra was positioned in the center of the first group of three, responsible for both command and reconnaissance.

Rank, status, background— she swiftly cast them aside the moment they entered mission mode.

At this moment, Sandra saw herself genuinely as a member of the Mini legion, not as the esteemed grand-daughter of the two Great Sages.

She was stringent towards others, and even more so to herself.

After glancing at her wristwatch to ascertain the route, Sandra issued an instruction: “Turn towards 2 o’clock, go straight for 100 meters, enter the pit.”

The team forthwith moved silently in the direction Sandra indicated.

The most detestable thing about the Insect Race was its propensity for destruction, never for construction.

Whether it be plant or animal, or even minerals, the Insect Race could and would consume them.

Having devastated one planet, they moved onto the next.

Having exhausted one star system, they shifted to another.

With all the things the Insect Race consumed, they naturally produced outputs.

They only produced three valuable outputs— their feces, the mucus they secreted, and their discarded exoskeletons.

The Insect Race’s feces were a natural soil fertilizer, immensely nourishing the land and promoting plant growth.

Based on this fact, the worlds inhabited by the Insect Race could never be devoid of green plants like the planet they currently stood on.

Unfortunately, the Insect Race reproduced and consumed so voraciously.

In the end, as the soil become increasingly fertile, plants became increasingly scarce, leading to their eventual extinction.

Just like how goats, if allowed to graze in a pasture, could devour the grass roots, and ruin the entire pasture.

The mucus of the Insect Race functioned as a natural high-strength protective coating.

Their Nest was built through layer upon layer of mucus, providing substantial defensive capabilities.

The discarded exoskeletons of the Insect Race served as natural cleaner energy.

The dense, sprawling Nests of the previously supremely civilized Insect World spanning across all the Heavens and Realms were established by burning countless discarded exoskeletons of the Insect Race, enabling them to perform long-distance space travel.

As for interstellar warfare, numerous clans of the Insect Race inherently possessed the ability for short-distance interstellar travel and space survival.

This planet was close to being depleted by the Insect Race.

The surface soil was deep, dense, and shiny black.

Stepping on it would definitely create a deep pit.

The 12 members of the Mini legion hadn’t walked on the ground at all.

They had been hovering, anti-gravity step by step, leaving no traces.

Sandra had done her homework quite thoroughly.

Once they had reached the tunnel, the route was clear, the goal was explicit, and as a result, their speed was incredibly fast.

Within less than an hour, the Mini legion arrived at the first target location – a small Insect Race settlement that had undergone abnormal changes and was on the brink of extinction.

“Reconnaissance, remain vigilant.”

Sandra issued an order, simply and concise.

Eight descendants of prominent families including herself, from the academy’s headquarters, promptly entered the Insect Race settlement first, scouting inside and out, ensuring there was no danger or traps.

They subsequently occupied various crucial positions, remaining vigilant.

They were creating safe and advantageous conditions for the two groups in charge of biochemical research.

“Research group, enter.”

Sandra’s voice echoed once more.

Link and Tiffany exchanged glances, each choosing a direction, before entering the Insect Race settlement.

They each began their research, trying to accomplish the three original objectives of this mission:

Investigate the ecological structure, abnormal changes, and causes of the mutations.

“First, collect samples of soil, water, food residues, and air, make backups and conduct tests,” Link suggested to Lanny, who was assisting him, as he stopped at a relatively flat and open area, taking out a series of miniaturized testing equipment from his “Small World”.

Link chose to start by immersing himself into the ecological structure.

“Understood.”

Lanny was undoubtedly a top student.

Her comprehensive scores had once equaled Link’s!

Even if her specialized knowledge in biochemical research and Potion Study wasn’t as profound as Link’s,

but she had a thorough grasp of the basic functions involved in these experiments and research.

Both of them defined their respective areas, starting with various samplings.

As long as it was deemed necessary, no matter how peculiar or inconspicuous, at least three samples needed to be preserved.

After collecting the samples, on-site testing was carried out immediately.

As long as Sandra didn’t call for a halt or an emergency occurred, Link would continue to work at his own pace, not leisurely, but orderly.
