Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Alien insects could be seen covering every inch of the Seaberry Federation's seemingly boundless desert.

The alien insects charged forward without rest in an orderly manner, with the weaker alien insects positioned at the front of the group.

The wave-like formation of the armies of insects ensured that the alien insects at the front did not have to back down, even if they encountered strong enemies.

Originally, there was a barren desert in front of the Class 6 alien insect dimensional rift. But that space had since been altered by the alien insects.

There were a few alien insects that resembled centipedes and were continuously swallowing sand before digesting and expelling it. The black and brown by-products they expelled would become even harder than rocks after they were left in the sun for a few minutes.

It was these writhing long insects that turned the desert into a giant insect nest in the short span of a month or two.

…

At present, a grand meeting was ongoing in the insect nest. There were 13 humanoid female insects who were sitting around a long table. All of them bore features of different insect species, indicating that they had evolved from different insects. From the aura released by these female insects, one could tell that they were Samsara Realm Dictators.

One of the female insects with tentacles hidden amongst her strands of hair and wearing grayish-green armor covered with bristles said, "Besides Carly, who has just evolved to the Samsara Realm and rejected the invitation to join us, everyone else is here.

"We are going to take over this world. According to our joint investigations, this world doesn't have any experts. All they do is make a lot of noise. We will be able to put an end to this quickly!"

Once she was done speaking, someone voiced their opposition. "I don't think we should rush into this. If we are much stronger than this world's lifeforms, it will be a better idea to steadily push them back! By remaining here, we will be able to retreat and escape quickly if we encounter danger!"

The female insect with thorns all over her armor spoke. Many insects agreed with her. They were thirsty for bloodshed, but they preferred to remain steady when it came to conquests. They did not want to undertake any external risks.

The insects had only investigated the continent in front of them. It was clear that there was more to this world. It would be irresponsible to determine if a world was suitable to be taken over based on the circumstances of this continent alone.

Two other female insects voiced their support for this view. This created two opposing sides.

Gray Enchantment was the impulsive type and had a very bad temper. When Issa did not support her idea, Gray Enchantment snarled, "I'm the one who investigated this continent. I have the last say! All of the lifeforms in the continent are fleeing. The strongest of them are only of the same level of power as Carly. It won't be an obstacle for us!

"We need the fresh blood energy from this continent. Issa, we have lost many opportunities because of you! We have come all the way here. We will be able to put up a fight even if strong enemies do appear!"

Issa pursed her lips when she heard Gray Enchantment's angry shriek.

There was nothing wrong with what Gray Enchantment said, but Issa believed that the insects had the advantage in this world and had absolute confidence in taking on strong enemies.

If they encountered an enemy stronger than them, all the insects would meet their ruin there!

If their troops were surrounded and captured by powerful lifeforms from this world, the insects would lose a large proportion of their strength.

Issa asked in a low voice, "Gray Enchantment, you are one of the insect empresses of the insects. You need to consider more than just how you can break enemy ranks but also how you can secure the profits of insects! I will never allow the troops under me to join you until you've thoroughly investigated the power of all the experts in the world!"

Issa was not skilled at persuasion. Once she was done stating her stand, she did not bother to ascertain if Gray Enchantment would listen. After all, she had already made her decision known!

The other insect empresses were still watching. The other insect empresses who wanted to play it safe would definitely support her decision.

Gray Enchantment and Issa had entered a stalemate.

Every insect empress oversaw their own portion of insects. Gray Enchantment did not have the right to control the insects under Issa. In terms of power, Issa was more of a veteran and might even be slightly more powerful than Gray Enchantment.

With the two of them in an impasse, a short insect empress with thick long hair and a large horn protruding from her head said, "Since we have split opinions, why don't we work separately? Those who want to begin their conquest can go ahead and do so. Those who don't want to begin the conquest can advance slowly.

"When it comes to dividing resources, we will allocate them according to individual capabilities. This way, our losses won't be too great even if we do encounter strong enemies! What do you think of my idea?"

Mexa hated it when the insects had differing opinions. In the past, these differences had caused cracks in the insect ranks and led to massive losses. Therefore, a prolonged stalemate was never a good idea.

Gray Enchantment was eager to begin her conquest. She wanted to harvest more resources and speed up her own development. Issa, on the other hand, wanted to play it safe. She was afraid that the insect troops under her would suffer losses.

Mexa had an idea that would safeguard the profits of both sides. There was no reason for either of them to disagree!

The insects always allocated benefits based on contributions and effort. Gray Enchantment would have to take on even more risks, so she would receive more resources. Issa would not have to take on risks, so she could not expect profit.

Mexa's suggestion immediately earned Issa and Gray Enchantment's support. The other insect empresses who were part of the two camps of opinions were in agreement as well!

But before Gray Enchantment and the other insect empresses who had decided to charge in could decide the direction they were going to begin their conquest in, the 13 empresses received a piece of news that caused all of their expressions to change.

They had already investigated this continent. So, where had all these experts come from? They were using their auras to block the insects from every direction!

The insects initially intended to conquer this new world they had discovered and turn it into their prey. Because of this, they had been planning continuously.
