“Abandoned by her friends and relatives: As the queen of the Mantis clan.
You never expected to find yourself in such a desperate situation.
Even when you were dragged into the 'Black Nest' by the terrifying Hu Li, you have never been so weak.
But the cold reality is already before our eyes.
Someone is already dissatisfied with you.
You were careless.
Being in a high position for a long time can easily make people dull.
Even though he lost the protection of the evil demon several months ago.
You also failed to notice any signs of impending storm.
You enjoy yourself in your own place.
However, the offensive against Huanbishan became increasingly perfunctory.
perhaps.
All this is the fuse behind the betrayal.
…
But anyway.
You've reached a desperate situation.
It's time to make a decision -
Was it a hasty escape?
Or do you want to make these enemies before you realize your power again?"

Special.
In the three valleys outside the domain (Gray Valley, Red Valley, and Green Valley).
The effect of this talent is doubled.
…
…
A huge amount of memories along with the information on the character panel flooded into Roger's mind.
Fortunately, he had experience this time.
I have a lot of experience in sorting out clues.
Almost in just a few seconds.
Roger figured out the whole story -
As described in the starting quest.
As the leader of the extraterritorial world, the Mantis Queen encountered a carefully planned rebellion.
The instigator was a fast-rising Mantis Princess.
The other party's goal is of course the position of the mantis leader.
And in this process.
The evil demon Hu Li, who had always supported the Mantis Queen, suddenly withdrew his blessing to her.
This gave the restless Mantis Princess a good opportunity to take action.
All signs indicate.
This rebellion is closely tied to the history of the Mantid.
In an instant.
Images flashed across Roger's eyes like slides.
…
It all started with the civil war in Taoyuan Mountain.
Because of the conflict with the iron-eating beast tribe.
The mantis was driven out of the domain.
But they always want to regain control of Taoyuan Mountain.
In order to achieve this goal.
They finally surrendered to the instigator of the civil war, the great devil of Taoyuan Mountain.
The evil demon Hu Li.
Hu Li gladly accepted them.
With the help of the evil spirit.
The mantid has mastered powers never before achieved.
But everything has a price.
In order to completely control the Mantis.
Hu Li ordered them to build a "Black Nest" on the edge of the domain.
There.
The evil spirits set up terrible rituals and barriers.
Even the Mantis Queen herself cannot see the full picture of the Black Nest.
In her memory.
Black Nest is definitely the most dangerous place in Taoyuan Mountain.
The danger level is even higher than that of the battlefield around Bishan!
…
After the Black Nest was established.
The only permanent population of the Mantis Demon is the Mantis Queen and some Mantis Princesses.
The spawning season each year.
The Mantis Queen and the Mantis Princesses will crawl into the depths of the Black Nest for unified mass production.
These mantid eggs will be under the absolute control of the sha.
The following year.
A new batch of mantis warriors will emerge in the Black Nest.
The best males among these mantis demons will be kept by the mantis queen.
They will be left in Ashenvale.
Become her lover or guard.
…
The remaining people were all incorporated into the punitive force responsible for attacking Huanbi Mountain.
Under the command of the Mantis Queen.
They will launch round after round of attacks on Huanbi Mountain without regard for their lives.
The impregnable Huanbi Mountain was torn into pieces again and again in such high-density and high-intensity attacks.
The Edible Iron Beast Legion also tried its best to protect Huanbi Mountain.
For hundreds of years.
Huanbi Mountain was almost breached many times.
Unfortunately, it was always a little short!
Before Huanbi Mountain was actually breached.
These male mantids can only be cannon fodder!
…
In comparison.
The situation for female mantids is slightly better.
But only a little.
At the beginning of the new life.
They will be sent to Green Valley or Red Valley.
There.
They will be looked after for a period of time.
That period of time was neither long nor short.
Enough to make the strong ones among them stand out.
And next.
It was an internal fight for food that was no less intense than the one in the battlefield around Bishan.
After several rounds of screening.
Only the final successful one will have the chance to become the "Mantis Princess".
They will take up a place in the Green Valley or the Red Valley.
They will also have some guards or lovers of their own.
But the number is small.
Low quality.
…
In the Queen's memory.
There are approximately 10 to 15 resident princesses in Green Valley + Red Valley.
During the spawning season every year.
The princesses will go to the Black Nest with the Queen.
The luckier ones among them can pick up the lovers left over by the queen.
This will provide sufficient nutrients to the body that has become weakened by childbirth.
And those with bad luck.
They can only let the spawning season drain their energy.
Eventually became part of the Black Nest again.
…
In the above cyclical mechanism.
The already weak kinship ties among the mantid tribe completely disappeared.
Male mantids are born to be cannon fodder, breeding devices, or food.
Female mantis demons are equally competitive.
Although the Mantis Queen only occupied the territory of Grey Valley.
But becoming a familiar face in the other two habitable valleys is not easy.
The entire Mantis society has long been operating in this extremely distorted state.
The male mantids are renewed every year.
The average lifespan of a mantis princess is only between 2 and 3 years.
Only the Queen herself is immortal.
This is partly due to her strong personal strength.
on the other hand.
It comes from the favor of the evil demon Hu Li.
…
Hu Li controlled the army attacking Huanbi Mountain through the Mantis Queen.
In fact.
The Queen has also been doing things according to his orders.
But recently.
The irritable Hu Li seemed to be increasingly dissatisfied with the progress of the mantis demon clan!
He repeatedly accused the Queen of failing to attack Huanbishan.
The latter was terrified.
But not much has changed—
…
Hundreds of years of attacks have made the Mantis Queen tired and numb.
She still retains a strong hatred for the iron-eating beast.
But that kind of hatred also seems distant and indifferent when it is not aroused.
Huanbi Mountain is like a ravine that cannot be filled even with countless lives.
She had long lost the confidence to win.
Therefore, he just commanded the war with the mentality of getting things done.
In fact.
Even the day before the incident.
She didn't realize she was about to face a rebellion!
because.
She didn't notice at all.
In recent days.
The number of Mantis Princesses in Green Valley and Red Valley.
Only 1 left!
The spawning season.
It is also just around the corner.
…
"So, the Mantis Princess played by the Ether Witch ate the others of her kind?"
"Finally, with Hu Li's tacit approval, he launched a rebellion?"
"no……"
"Is her initial mission something like surviving in Green Valley or Red Valley?"
"Why did the character I played as her mother start out with such a difficult beginning?"
It took a long time for Roger to sort out his thoughts.
Princess Mantis has already led everyone to surround and attack them step by step.
There was a strange black gas flickering on her body.
That is a sign of being favored by the evil spirit.
Under this factor.
The changes in Ashenvale were less a rebellion than a rebellion.
It would be more accurate to say that it is a more blatant way of forcing the emperor to abdicate.
It’s just that the Mantis Queen herself is too slow!
"etc……"
"If I didn't play this role, wouldn't the Mantis Queen be eaten?"
Roger thought so.
A violent heart palpitation came over me.
His perspective jerked upwards.
Came to an interface that just became familiar!
…
"Hint: You have entered combat mode! Calculating initiative..."
…
"You (Queen Mantis) have gained terrain advantage (Ashenvale)!"
…
"You gain the first-attack advantage (terrain advantage bonus/high realm bonus)!"
…
"The first round begins!"
…
"Please select your attack method..."
…
"You chose 'escape'!"
…
"Nonsense, there are more than a hundred people in the opposing camp, and I am still seriously injured. What am I waiting for if I don't run?"
Roger secretly complained in his heart:
"I don't know how I entered combat mode."
"The Mantis Princess on the opposite side has already reached the 1st level..."
"And the seriously injured Mantis Queen has less than 1/3 of her strength, not to mention that we are outnumbered..."
Anyway, the starting mission for this character is not to become the "Lord of the Outer Realm" or something.
Let’s preserve our strength first.
Roger thought so.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
Next second.
…
"Escape failed!"
…
"Early Battle Round: Mantis Princess triggers 'Pursue Victory'"
…
"Your health -10% (currently 9%) (severely injured and dying)"
…
“Fuck!”
"Why can't you run away?"
"You obviously have a pair of long legs..."
Roger couldn't help but frown.
Is the only way out to fight back by force?
But the other party has the evil demon as a trump card.
When Roger took over, the character was already in a bad state...
"It's too late..."
He felt a little regretful.
In the battle mode display interface.
There are too many people in Princess Mantis’ camp.
After the failed escape.
An "early battle round" phase was automatically triggered.
In this link.
The hundreds of people in the other camp came up and touched him casually.
I am about to die suddenly.
There is no room to fight back!
…
And the facts developed just as Roger expected.
Emerald or yellowish-brown shadows kept dancing on the battle page.
Although most of the attacks ended up being misses.
But an occasional hit is enough to make things worse for the Mantis Queen!
Very quickly.
His health has dropped to 3%!
And at least half of the people in the opposing camp have the right to attack first~!
"Open the door and kill..."
“This is totally unreasonable!”
Roger thought helplessly.
At this moment, all the options in his field of vision were gray.
There is absolutely no room for maneuver.
I can only watch helplessly as the other party comes up to take 'my' turn.
Not long.
The Mantis Queen's health reached 1%.
Roger simply watched the show seriously.
It doesn't matter if you lose an identity.
What matters is how much information .
But the next moment.
Unexpected changes occurred.
But on the arm of the Mantis Princess.
The tattoo-like black gas suddenly turned into a strange human face and emerged.
on the data bar.
…
"You triggered the event wheel!"
…
"You have encountered the evil demon Hu Li!"
…
I see.
See the evil spirit appear.
Roger understood everything.
It turns out that all this is part of the plot.
No matter whether you will choose to escape or fight.
When it's about to fall upside down.
The biggest boss of Taoyuan Mountain will always appear!
So he calmed down.
Watched Hu Li's performance patiently.
…
"I am disappointed in your choice."
Hu Li stared coldly at the fallen Mantis Queen:
"I treat you well."
"And you become more and more cowardly."
"However, even if you are included in the expeditionary army, you should not die at the hands of your own people..."
Speaking of.
He turned around and looked at the Mantis Princess with an expression on her face:
"From now on."
"You are the new Queen of Grey Valley."
"Until you prove yourself further, you will be given command of half of the expeditionary force."
"And your mother..."
"Stop hunting her down. I have another plan for her!"
Having said all this.
Hu Li then turned into a black shadow.
Then roll it up on the spot.
The black shadow ignored Princess Mantis and the others.
Rolled up the fallen Mantis Queen.
Next second.
Roger's perspective returns to the body of the weak and dying Queen.
It was pitch black in front of me.
Very blurry.
…
After a moment.
Outside the territory.
A desert with no end in sight.
Hu Li threw the queen onto the scorching sand dune.
Then he injected a little evil energy into her body!
…
"Hint: You have obtained Hu Li's Death Lock!"
…
"Death Lock: Your health is locked at 1%"
…
"Without the desire to kill, you are useless to me."
Hu Li said coldly:
"But I still remember the old times."
"So I'll give you one chance, the last chance!"
"Go to Taoyuan Mountain and find the mountain fox. I need a body. You know what I mean..."
Drop these words.
The demon's figure disappeared instantly.
On the hot sand dunes baked by the scorching sun.
Only the dying Mantis Queen was left.
…
"The initial mission was replaced successfully!"
…
"You have received a new initial task: Hu Li's instructions"
…
"Hu Li's instructions: The evil spirit has given you a brand new mission.
He hopes you can find the mountain fox clan that disappeared in the history of Taoyuan Mountain.
Obvious.
He needs a mountain fox body that he can take over! "
…
"So, the plot is just beginning now?"
Feeling the scorching heat all around.
Roger struggled to manipulate the Mantis Queen to crawl into the dark cave at the bottom of the sand dune.
After using the Queen's remaining momentum to scare away a poisonous scorpion.
His second identity finally began to slowly recover.
Take advantage of this opportunity.
Roger sorted out the information in his hand again.
…
The first thing that can be confirmed is.
The Mantis Princess controlled by the Ether Witch will definitely launch a fierce attack on Huanbi Mountain.
This can be seen from Hu Li's every move.
Before the Ether Witch found the golden carp.
She probably wouldn't fall out with the evil spirit.
…
Secondly.
Hu Li seems to have some friendship with the Mantis Queen.
This 'rebellion' should be completely under his control.
This shows.
It is very likely that Hu Li’s real purpose is to let the Queen find the mountain fox clan!
After all, no matter who leads the punitive army, it will be a matter of life and death.
And they have endured this for hundreds of years.
It was also unreasonable that Hu Li suddenly couldn't stand the Queen's slacking off.
…
at last.
The mountain fox clan mentioned by Hu Li.
Roger searched the Queen's memory bank for several hours.
The result was no clue.
But the other party seemed to think that he should know where to start.
This is very intriguing.
…
"Did I neglect something?"
In the dark cave.
Roger was a little puzzled.
He glanced at the Queen, whose health was slowly recovering.
After a moment of hesitation.
Roger estimated the time.
Then the hang-up mode was activated again.
Then the perspective was switched back to "young Tianpeng"!
…
"Automatic training: Wind and Thunder Order training completed, your realm is raised to 3rd Evil!"
…
"You have acquired a new specialty: Colossal Creatures!"
…
"Super giant creature: Every time you reach a higher level or every time you spend a period of time, your size will increase accordingly."
…
"Current status: body length 4 meters / wingspan 6 meters"
…
"Your realm has been raised to 3rd Sha, and you have completed mission 3 (Grow bigger quickly)"
…
"You have gained a new feat: Thundercall"
…
"Thunder Summoning Technique: Consume a small amount of satiety, and you can summon several lightning pillars to attack the enemy through violent hissing."
…
"You have acquired a new magical power: Purple Bird Divine Light"
…
"Purple Bird Divine Light: Your eyes can emit bright glare. In combat mode, you can cause the enemy to be 'dizzy', which lasts for at least 2 rounds."
…
"Restriction: Can only be used once per battle"
…
"This magical power is pretty good..."
Roger's eyes lit up.
He stretched his muscles while checking the information.
I have to say.
Although they are all the bodies of female monsters.
But Youpeng gave him a much better feeling than the Mantis Queen.
After completing the first formal practice of Wind and Thunder Order.
He could clearly feel it.
Its wings are inflated.
There is a feeling of growing stronger.
…
"You have completed all the initial tasks, and you will officially integrate into Taoyuan Mountain as 'Young Tianpeng (Leize Overlord)'..."
…
"Is that it?"
"Then Xiaopeng's mission is unexpectedly simple..."
"If all the starting quests are of similar difficulty, does that mean there are shortcuts to "Finding the Mountain Fox"?"
Roger thought quickly.
But at this critical juncture.
He didn't delay long.
Instead, he took the initiative to call upon his personal mouthpiece - the herb collector.
"Let the people from Huanbi Mountain come to me!"
"Now!"
Having said this.
Roger waited patiently on the platform.
He originally wanted to hand over the black jade bamboo to the other party after 7 days.
But now the situation has changed.
The Ether Witch has always been ruthless and decisive in her actions.
He was a little worried that he couldn't live on the top of Huanbi Mountain!
Roger must buy time for the young Peng's development.
So when those three muscular pandas appeared in his sight.
Youpeng then slowly said:
"I foresaw the future in the wind and thunder—"
"A new queen has emerged among the Mantid."
"She will attack Huanbishan in the near future..."
…
