Chapter 274: Bug Swarm vs. Aliens (3)
Inside the sacrificial chamber.
People were panicking and shooting randomly with their weapons.
But..
Most of their bullets hit the air.
Only a few of them hit the attacking monsters.
The monsters’ bodies fell down.
Their bodies were fist-sized, covered with cuticle shells, and covered with sharp barbs.
It looked a little like a cockroach, but it was much bigger.
Its surface was green, and there was an obvious bulging pouch on its abdomen.
As it fell to the ground, its abdomen exploded.
The corrosive liquid immediately burned the stone slab until it was sizzling and smoking!
People panted in panic.
At this time, one of the expedition members suddenly exclaimed, “Oh my god!”
Densely packed monsters appeared on the hole.
There were at least one thousand of them!
They surged out like a tide.
Terrifying mouthparts opened one after another.
Waves of greenish corrosive liquid spurted out of their mouths.
Sizzling towards everyone present.
Accurate, strong, and fast.
“AHHH…” A few of the expedition members covered their faces in shock.
These extremely strong acids was several times more corrosive than sulfuric acid!
Such strange insects could actually be born in nature?
It was simply unbelievable!
People soon realized that these strange insects were not targeting them.
These strange insects surged like a tide and appeared on a sacrificial altar.
They climbed down from the gap and quickly climbed onto the altar.
They pounced crazily on the circular cyan object that had just risen.
They opened their sharp mouthparts and gnawed on the object crazily.
Some cyan liquid that seemed to be blood flowed out from the surface of the circular object.
Soon, the strange insects bit through its skin and then swarmed up, biting on a creature that seemed to be in the incubation state inside the object.
This thing was like a bony palm, and also like an octopus.
After it was bitten, it immediately struggled.
But..
The strange insects seemed to have fangs in their mouths.
Some kind of neurotoxin was injected into the octopus-like alien.
In just an instant, the thing stopped struggling.
Then, all the strange insects joined forces to bite it, carry it, and quickly crawled toward the gap.
Hundreds of strange insects connected their heads and tails, forming a moving insect blanket. They carried the alien creature, passed through the ground, climbed up the wall, and then disappeared into the hole.
Except for those unlucky people who were still rolling and howling on the ground.
The other members of the expedition team looked at the scene in a daze.
They didn’t know what had happened at all.
“We seem to be involved in some terrible biological conflict…” A short-haired woman said.
As soon as she finished speaking.
The green circular objects that rose from the other sacrificial altars bloomed like plants.
One after another, octopus-shaped alien creatures flew out.
They had accurately found their host — humans!
They spread out in the air and pounced on the humans one by one.
Ta-ta-ta!
In the panic, the exploration team began to fire.
They shot down the alien creatures one by one, but because they fired in the panic, the firepower had a blind spot!
Those who were covering their faces and wailing on the ground had no time to dodge.
Their faces were covered by the alien octopuses one after one.

Their necks had tentacles tightly wrapped around them.
The exploration team panicked.
They hurriedly went to check on their companions.
However, there was no direction. A new round cyan object was pushed up.
Sensing living things, they opened up.
Alien octopuses jumped out one by one and toward the humans.
… … … ..
After a series of air ripples.
Three alien figures appeared in the cabin where their weapons were stored.
There were no signs of invasion.
They lowered their heads and opened the weapons cabin.
There were three advanced weapons inside.
They picked them up, checked them, and looked at each other.
The leader of the aliens pressed his helmet, and a red light shot out, projecting everything in the pyramid.
In the sacrificial chamber, the egg-holding bugs had completed their mission.
One, two, three, four..
There were fourteen people in total, fourteen incubating prey!
With their blood, it was enough to complete the hunting ceremony.
But..
The aliens saw that in the inner passage of the pyramid.
Those despicable ambushers were holding an egg-carrying bug, and they quickly retreated along the passage!
Unforgivable!
The aliens all raised their heads and roared.
The leader pressed the button and was about to contact the mothership, requesting to investigate those insect creatures.
But there was no response!
He was stunned.
Could it be a communication failure?
He thought about it and raised his weapon. Since that was the case, then he would kill them all!
He had the confidence!
But he had no idea that at this moment. On the massive starship above him.
The entire starship was covered in blood.
One powerful warrior after another was torn apart by something terrifying.
Their flesh and blood could be seen everywhere. The entire starship was lifeless.
There was only a terrifying monster crawling slowly within.
Its ape-like body walked slowly. Its insect-like skin hung on the starship’s floor.
Its claw-like fingers dragged out a long flame on the ground, and it even deeply embedded itself into the starship’s solid steel inner wall.
As a result, its claws grabbed onto the entire starship and dragged the huge monster into an unknown dimension.
That was the lair of its master, the Eternal Master of torture.
Its master was watching a battle.
Anything that could interfere would be destroyed, and was destined to be destroyed!
… … ..
Ling Pingan looked at the screen on the metal door.
In the sacrificial chamber, the octopus-like creatures covered the faces of the humans.
Slowly, the thing that covered their faces seemed to be dead.
They fell off.
The people started to regain consciousness.
The people in the expedition team uniform stood up.
They looked at each other as if they didn’t know what was happening.
Suddenly, a short-haired woman covered her chest.
She started to hurt.
Crack..
Crack..
There seemed to be something on her chest.
Plop!
A monster came out of her bosom!
The naked little monster was covered in blood.
However, after it was born, it immediately cried out.
Roar!
It was like an ancient beast, a velociraptor, or a Tyrannosaurus.
At the same time, saliva started to flow from the corner of its mouth.
It was extremely strange!
“It sounds a little like garlic being crushed?” Ling Pingan was puzzled.
The sound of this thing drooling was actually similar to the sound of him crushing garlic in the kitchen.

“Interesting…” Ling Pingan looked at this thing.
He began to pay full attention and carefully memorized the appearance of it.
It had a slender and strong tail, a very smooth body, a green surface, and a sharp and powerful jaw bone.
It screamed, and its mouth was full of sharp teeth, like steel!
“What a good monster!” Ling Pingan laughed.
In his novel, he needed a new monster like this!
Moreover, its ecology seemed to be very interesting.
Did it reproduce by parasitizing humans?
Ling Pingan thought and felt that there was a lot to write about in his novel’s plot.
HMM..
An alien species that harmed humanity was hiding in the frozen underground..
Some scientists accidentally entered the frozen underground and alerted these monsters.
They were parasitic in the bodies of their victims..
HMM..
They could change their incubation period.
They could also have some intelligence.
This way, they could follow the scientists and enter human society.
Just in time..
The main character and his swarm of insects saved human beings..
HMM..
This plot could work!
Ling Pingan noted it down.
… … … ..
An unknown info element appeared in the Queen mother’s psionic power network.
It kept sensing.
This was sent by its master’s servant..
Did its master like that parasitic method?
Did its master like that kind of insect?
The Queen mother’s jealousy even soared.
Although it did not have such feelings of jealousy yet.
But..
Generations of Queen mothers had carved the strong mission of ‘the only bug swarm’ into its genes.
Under the urging of this mission, each generation of Queen mothers were hostile to all possible threats and competitors.
Thus, the Queen mother’s anger spread throughout the psionic power network and echoed in every individual.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The follicles that had been incubating for five minutes immediately exploded.
Flying insects with wings and covered in a layer of sharp poisonous stingers appeared.
If one looked closely, one would know that these insects, which were only half the size of a fist, were the product of a mixture of various insects.
It had a wing structure similar to the Coleoptera, and when it flew, its wings were outstretched.
However, every stinger on its body could be shot out like a bee’s stinger.
Moreover, its power and range were much greater.
More importantly, the venom contained in these stingers was a neurotoxin inherited from the arachnids.
This potent neurotoxin not only caused severe pain, but it only needed 0.1 milliliters to paralyze an elephant’s nervous system. It could be killed in three minutes!
There were dozens of poisonous stingers on these flying insects.
These stingers were the main weapons of destruction.
They flapped their wings and flew toward the pyramid. There were more than 300 of them!
For a moment, the entire underground cave was filled with these flying creatures!
Buzz Buzz Buzz.
The sound of flapping wings echoed throughout the underground.
… … … ..
The aliens who had recovered their weapons followed the passage inside the pyramid, tracking the despicable intruders.
Even though those were just bugs.
But..
Anything that dared to interfere with the sacred rite of passage was blaspheming against their faith!
The only ending for these creatures was destruction!
Driven by their anger, the three aliens moved quickly.
Soon, they caught up with the fast-moving insects.
Bang!
A small missile was fired from the leader’s shoulder.
The missile hit the stone structure above and blew a hole in it.
Behind him, the other two took out a dart from their wrists.
Then they threw it at the hole that had been blasted open!
Clang!
The metal dart immediately charged into the moving swarm of insects.
It cut open the bodies of more than a dozen insects, and their corrosive liquid immediately corroded the dart until it fumed.
However, they seemed to not have felt it.
They did not turn around at all. They just dragged their prey and continued to move forward.
Suddenly..
The leading alien raised his hand.
He felt something..
He pressed a button on his arm..
A projection appeared in front of him, revealing the entire structure of the pyramid.
Thus, the aliens saw a dense swarm of insects, at least thousands of them, crawling rapidly from all directions.
They were here to welcome him!
More importantly, hundreds of flying insects were appearing from the tunnels.
Their antennae detected the smell in the air.
Then, they flew over quickly.
The aliens looked at each other.
Thousands of insects?
And hundreds of flying insects?
Even they understood that they needed to rearrange and prepare.
However, they didn’t know that in the sacrificial chamber.
More than a dozen alien creatures that had burst out of their chests were devouring flesh and blood.
Their bodies started to change as they slowly grew up.
Soon, they began to shed their skin.
Roar!
A moment later, the first abnormals that had finished shedding their skin stood up, standing upright like humans.
Two sharp claws were shining with a metallic luster.
Their wrinkled bodies were captured, and sharp thorns grew out of them.
The curved head and the mouth full of sharp teeth were even sharper.
Roar!
More abnormals finished shedding their skin!
Roar!
In the depths of the pyramid, the huge monster that was chained up cried out.
Some kind of special sensing method formed between them.
And so, these monsters knew.
Kill the intruders!
… … … ..
Ling Pingan looked at these strange creatures that had shed their skin.
He sighed in admiration.
“It’s really a work of art…”
“As expected, this nightmare legend is very powerful!”
“Even the monsters and details of a small dungeon are done very well!”
While he sighed in admiration, he quickly memorized the appearance of these monsters and the shedding of their skin.
This was great material!
The readers would definitely like it!
Because, the readers all liked novelty seeking!
And..
Ling Pingan called the game’s system and got the data of these things.
Most importantly, there were screenshots of them.
From the moment they laid eggs until they grew up, to the so-called Queen.
Every one of them was amazing!
With these screenshots..
The readers would probably be amazed!
Considering that he was probably the only player with special privileges in the closed beta.
Even if there were rich people who would spend money to create such special privileges like his in the future,
He might not choose to create a swarm of insects, and he might not even run into this dungeon.
So..
Ling Pingan knew that this was a source of material that was exclusive to him for a very long time!
So..
“Heaven won’t allow me to be unpopular!” The young web writer said happily.

Ortus (Old Version)
This is an old version of the heavily edited and rewritten Ortus This is the story of a woman named Riza. Riza is a woman who wakes up in a forest with nothing, remembering nothing, and on the cusp of death. The only thing she has is a weapon stuck in her side and, after a tangle with a wild boar, something called 'life aspect'. Little does she know that life magic is considered a dead-end branch and is largely outlawed across the world. None of this matters to her, of course. For one, even if someone tried to tell her, she doesn't know the language. Number two, have you heard about the sunk cost fallacy? Riza is not some chosen one, nor is given any boon she doesn't deserve. Instead, she's smart and methodical, and experiements on how to maximise every opportunity, every ability, presented to her. She doesn't just take things at face-value but instead explores just what limitations there are. This often involves maths.

Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.

Dauntless: Origins
Snow white hair, blue eyes, pale. Devil, monster, mutt, failure.This story follows one Tyr Faeron, crown prince, heir primus and mass murderer. A wrathful, angry, and lost young man that has made it his goal to hunt down the men that killed his mother - and he is on the cusp of finishing the promise he'd made before her cairn stones so many years ago. On the surface he is duplicitous, whimsical, and base of cunning - but within the depths beyond the many masks he wears, something is waiting. Waiting for an end, the end he'd come to long for, whether it be to himself or any possible threats in his vicinity. After that long labor of vengeance is completed... Nobody knows, not even him - an arrogant and otherwise solitary individual with nothing in the way of friends - only the brothers of the blackguard who follow him through life as he pursues this mission. He was born a prince, but he'd be called a disappointment - failing to manifest the great power that he was born to before being summarily discarded by his father, a 250 year old 'primus'. That word again... Men who can shatter mountains and level cities, that's what he was supposed to be. Some call them demi-gods, all Tyr sees is a poor excuse for a parent. Time had made him bitter, cruel, and arguably psychotic - seeing only enemies wherever he looks. They'd come for him, too, one day - to wipe the slate clean and make room for another - and it's his conviction to ensure that he dies while taking as many of those rats with him. This is a story about finding acceptance, growth, and understanding - from the point of view of a cold and brutal individual who wears many masks. Of someone who was born to be the greatest emperor the eastern continent has ever seen - but he failed in that. Strong, yes, but only in the context of a man - Tyr's magic is weak. His convictions are weak. He has been made a beast of instinct by loss and a constant confronting of his own impotency in the face of his father. A mythos that stretches across planes, of magic, a pantheon of cruel gods. Of someone who's dedicated his entire mind to the art of killing a man, and none to living a normal childhood or coming to understand friendship, empathy, or compassion. The first five years of his life a mystery, a hole none have ever been willing to fill, leaving him warped and twisted. His formative years gone and what must've been most of his humanity along with it. Now 17, he is on the cusp of leaving the city he'd never been permitted to leave for what might be the first time in his life. Always searching, though he won't know what for, for some time. An episodic that follows experience and symbolism rather than a never ending series of battles - where the conflict lay in constantly searching for wholeness in lieu of great villains or heroes. This is where it all started, the origin, the tale told a million times - and yet it hadn't been, 'reality' is tricky like that. The greatest lie ever told by the tongue that speaks is that any of this was real at all.
