<h4>Chapter 163: Chapter 163 Bai Yan Feels Guilty</h4>


    "Can it be intercepted?" Xiao Jinsheng asked urgently.


    "We found out toote. The Insect n has already received the message," Caicai sighed.


    It was filled with worry, reminding them: "Now it all depends on whether the Insect n decides to bypass the Interster World and directlye to the Mist Continent."


    Seeing Xiao Jinsheng and the others filled with concern, Caicai tried to console them: "Even if they directly teleport through the Wormhole, the Mist Continent is still separated from the Insect n by the Interster World."


    "If the Insect n wants toe here, the earliest would be half a year, at thetest two years."


    "In this half-year, you can think of a n and prepare to face the Insect n in battle."


    "But we..." Xiao Jinsheng sighed. "We also have the Terminal to deal with."


    They were supposed to be fighting against the Terminal, such a massive enemy.


    And now, herees the Insect n, which could invade the Mist Continent at any time, bypassing the Interster World.


    Xiao Jinsheng couldn’t help but wonder—if the Terminal knew that the Insect n wasing to invade the Mist Continent, what would the Terminal’s attitude be towards them?


    After all, just today, the Terminal had revised its rules, prohibiting humans from fighting each other, with punishments for causing casualties.


    The people of the Mist Continent were essentially livestock raised by the Terminal. An invasion by the Insect Brain into the Mist Continent would be likepeting with the Terminal for food.


    "Even if the Insect n invades, the Terminal might not protect us," Mo Jiao said grimly. "Based on the Terminal’s habits, it would handle it the same way it does with Fog Corpses—issuing us tasks, providing resources, and waiting until we ascend to a certain Star Level, only to serve us up on its dining table."


    "Fighting zombies or Fog Corpses is much easier than fighting the Insect n," Caicai reminded them.


    Zombies don’t reproduce.


    Plus, humans with superpowers are difficult to infect, even if bitten.


    For eighty years, zombies on the Mist Continent have be a rarity.


    Now, the only zombies one would encounter are transformed from dead Beastmen from outside.


    Though Fog Corpses are terrifying and even harder to deal with than zombies,


    If the Mist East doesn’t fog up, Fog Corpses don’t emerge.


    All things considered, the Insect n, with its terrifying reproductive speed, is still the most frightening.


    "Any Insect n capable of traveling through the Wormhole into the Mist Continent must undoubtedly be formidable," Caicai revealed all the information it could to Xiao Jinsheng without holding back.


    It evenpared the strengths between the Interster World and the Mist Continent: "The highest level in the Mist Continent is Twelve Stars, while the Interster World boasts up to Twenty-Four Stars."


    "The strongest in the Mist Continent would only rank as mid-level in the Interster World."


    "Even with high-tech weaponry supporting them, the Interster World still struggles to deal with the Insect n."


    Caicai spoke more and more frantically, realizing it was its fault Xiao Jinsheng had been sent to this world.


    Now, with the high probability of the Insect n turning this world into their backyard, Caicai panicked: "The Insect n could be here in as little as half a year. You all must upgrade your Superpower Levels immediately!"


    Given the current situation, there was no time to worry about whether ascending in rank would mean ending up on the Terminal’s dining table.


    Perhaps, at this moment, Xiao Jinsheng was even eager to appear on the Terminal’s dining table.


    The Terminal was intangible, and its whereabouts were unknown.


    They only had this one method to have a chance at confronting the Terminal.


    "I’ve read the Insect Brain’s memories and located the Star Stone Mine," Caicai said, pulling an outdated Intelligent Brain from the Cannibal Flower’s mouth and handing it to Xiao Jinsheng.


    "Thises from the Interster World and is not monitored by the Terminal. I’ll transfer the Star Stone Mine’s map to you."


    "Now I need to return to the Host and check if the Insect n is showing any signs of movement."


    Caicai was full of frustration and spoke earnestly: "If the Insect n really ns to invade the Mist Continent, I’ll see if I can intercept them during their Wormhole transmission."


    Even if interception isn’t possible, dying them would help.


    Xiao Jinsheng, understanding the urgency of the situation, didn’t stop Caicai.


    A small vortex-like ck hole appeared out of thin air. Caicai turned and dove in, its figure vanishing instantly.


    "So, should we head to the Star Stone Mine now?" Xiao Jinsheng turned to the group of men for their opinions.


    Everyone was eager to upgrade their Superpower Levels to prepare to resist the Insect n. Without needing Xiao Jinsheng to assign tasks, they tacitly split up.


    Some prepared food, while others went to ready the vehicles.


    Yu Yunxiao returned to his room to look for something, only to catch a whiff of an unfamiliar scent.


    His ears perked up instantly as he stormed downstairs in anger: "Someone’s been in my room!"


    "Did anything go missing?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.


    Yu Yunxiao shook his head. "I haven’t checked yet."


    After discovering that someone had entered his room, Yu Yunxiao became particrly averse to it.


    He didn’t want to touch anything in there anymore.


    It all felt contaminated by someone else’s touch.


    The group followed him upstairs, where Yu Yunxiao angrily pointed to a corner of the room and then to the sofa.


    "Here, here, and here—all have the scent of a stranger!" Yu Yunxiao growled. "The scent is chaotic—very much like that of the family next door."


    Both male and female scents were present. Yu Yunxiao also recognized scents from the eight members of Jin Ao’s family next door.


    His face turned ashen as he stormed out of his room in disgust.


    "It must’ve been Bai Yan," Xiao Jinsheng said with certainty.


    Though Bai Yan’s Beast Husbands were also troublesome, they wouldn’t invade Xiao Jinsheng’s house unless she fought with Bai Yan herself, which wasn’t the case now.


    Bai Yan, however, aimed only at advancing her Superpower Level. She was so desperate for that, she cared nothing for ethics, snagging even someone else’s Beast Husband to achieve her goals.


    "But Bai Yan has been targeting Chen Yunjitely. Why would she hide in your room?" Xiao Jinsheng was puzzled.


    Bai Yan’s Beast Husbands and Chen Yunji had already checked their own rooms—there were no signs of anyoneing in.


    Clearly, Bai Yan had been hiding, all along, in Yu Yunxiao’s room.


    "Even if Bai Yan identally entered the wrong room initially, if her goal was Chen Yunji, she should’ve gone to his room to wait," Xiao Jinsheng said.


    What motive could Bai Yan have for lurking in Yu Yunxiao’s room?


    Nheless, Bai Yan had moved out,


    The Insect Brain was dead,


    And while Caicai had extracted some key information from the Insect Brain’s memories, it wasn’t currently on the Mist Continent.


    Because of this, the reason Bai Yan had sneaked into Yu Yunxiao’s room and hidden there remained a mystery to Xiao Jinsheng for now.


    Regardless, Yu Yunxiao no longer wanted the room.


    Angry, he requested to change rooms.


    Aside from the master bedroom, there were ten bedrooms in total. Eight were upied, leaving two vacant.


    Yu Yunxiao abandoned all his belongings in his old room and moved into a new one empty-handed.


    Meanwhile, Su Ye had prepared the vehicle, and the group, following the map, set off for the Star Stone Mine.


    On the same road, there were two other off-road vehicles in motion.


    However, their destinations differed from Xiao Jinsheng’s.


    Xiao Jinsheng was heading west of the Mist to mine Star Stones.


    Bai Yan was heading southward from the Mist East, in theplete opposite direction of Xiao Jinsheng.


    She sat in the car, grief-stricken, checking her spiritual power, which had dropped to Six Stars. Thinking about the system that no longer responded to her calls, her resentment soared.


    Xiao Jinsheng!


    My greatest regret is that I listened to the system in the beginning, only altering your memories but leaving your life intact!


    "Xiao Yan, rest if you’re tired," Xue Ruiyang said with concern.


    Bai Yan leaned into his arms, sobbing uncontrobly: "It’s all my fault. It’s because of me that Kui Mao was killed by Xiao Jinsheng."
