Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 191 - 64: Reinforcements Arrive

"Oh, then you’d better pray that none of your offspring fall into my hands."

For every being, there is another that can subdue it; warrior-level Insect Men are hard to kill but still limited, and this seed firmly restrains their regeneration.

As long as the seed’s barbs can pierce the flesh, it can rapidly draw nutrients from blood and flesh.

Green buds grow from the top of the seed, and within a few breaths, it becomes a tall, upright "Red Demoness."

The petals are a pure scarlet, layered and clustered around the center golden spherical pistil, which emits a soft white glow like a small light bulb.

The branches and leaves of the Red Demoness sway in the wind, stunningly beautiful.

In reality, this plant is not aggressive. Even if humans approach and touch it, there will be no effect—the seed is the only part that is domineering and greedy.

It requires significant energy to grow, preferably from flesh and blood, though high-sugar plants can also become its target.

Once grown, the branches and leaves contain a decomposing substance, much like mushrooms, but decomposing even faster.

Its lifespan can be extremely brief or grow slowly; when nutrients are lacking, it may only sprout in a year. Conversely, it can seed in the blink of an eye.

The current one, full of bloody legend, may only be minutes away from seeding.

Su Xiaocai hacked off all the tentacles of the Insect Man, giving the Red Demoness room to grow.

Then she quickly turned and dashed to the side of the Dog-headed Insect Warrior.

With a kick, the mecha’s foot spewed superheated blue flames, followed by a slash that cut off the Dog-headed Insect Man’s arm.

She rescued the near-dead Hu Ping.

The safety pod was almost peeled from the mecha. Poor Hu Ping didn’t even hum, perhaps he’s dead.

Su Xiaocai couldn’t concern herself with that much.

"Wu Qingqing, catch!"

Wisdom 03 immediately notified Wu Qingqing to turn back.

The flattened safety pod flew in an arc through the sky, Wu Qingqing frantically reaching out to catch it.

Inside the safety pod, Hu Ping’s face was expressionless.

It flew away, do not cue, it flew very peacefully. Su Xiaocai’s treatment of the injured is truly unique, she does not even regard people as people.

With the transformed Insect Man no longer interfering, Su Xiaocai’s pressure significantly lessened.

But she was still no match for the Dog-headed Insect Man, finally firing an exploding needle bullet from her spear at it.

She reopened the distance to gather the seeding Red Demoness seeds.

Fifty seeds, full and lustrous.

The nutrients of an elephant could only yield two shriveled seeds of the Red Demoness.

The Insect Man was too powerful, instantly allowing Su Xiaocai to harvest more than fifty times the amount.

In the past, she fed it anteaters and insects, only harvesting about a hundred shriveled seeds a year.

Now it’s different, Insect Men are truly wonderful things.

The sap of the Red Demoness also has another major use, for forging Su Xiaocai’s weapons.

It can be said that the machetes distributed to students, along with her own, are already her entire stock.

Going back to let Daddy Su help raise them, she wants to plant two acres, making all pests the Demonesses’ feed. Although it will reduce the food for the free-ranging chickens, who cares?

The free-ranging chickens can eat other things, fruits, vegetables, grains, they’re not picky.

The transformed Insect Man’s life was dwindling, and the Dog-headed Insect Warrior was furious.

Its drooping gaze was sinister and vicious, with no more intention to toy around.

...

Wu Qingqing caught the deformed safety pod, daring not to delay for a second as it flew with engines smoking.

Over at the Military Government Building, they watched as a mecha carried two spheres back to the building, looking surprised.

Wu Qingqing called out to the nearby mecha: "Is there a treatment pod? Quickly treat Hu Ping. All his legs are broken."

Everyone was puzzled, Hu Ping has many legs?

Hu Ping managed a breath, "All your legs are broken. It’s just two legs, can you go faster, be gentler, it hurts so much."

Wu Qingqing: "You want me to be fast and gentle, it’s impossible." She placed the two mecha pods on the ground.

"Can someone go help Caicai? She’s fighting with an Insect Man Warrior, and the mecha’s energy consumption is massive, she can’t hold on for long."

Huh?

The highest-ranking officer here is a Captain, no one can fight an Insect Man Warrior.

Even with the courage, there’s no strength for it.

Fearing not even seeing the opponent clearly, they’d be killed with a single claw swipe.

Only then did everyone realize that the earlier mecha and Insect Man were not lone reinforcements, Su Xiaocai was indeed still alive.

The instructors silently assumed Su Xiaocai and the others were dead, proving sometimes experience cannot be trusted completely.

As for assisting Su Xiaocai, the soldiers present were powerless to help; not a single mecha available was intact, relying only on the remaining Maintenance Master and Feng Wansha, Li Leilei to repair the mechas.
