The zerg queen floated on the surface of the pool, with traces of the cracks that had not yet healed. The area around her jaw turned purple and quickly swelled up.
Lu Mo slowly retracted his hand and stood upright.
“Ah…” His black hair was dampened by the mist, and his eyes were no longer empty and lifeless. They sparkled with… delight.
“This is so relieving.”
Lu Mo let out a long sigh, and with that punch, the pressure that had accumulated in his chest for three years and three months was finally released completely.
Every time he committed a misdeed in the past three years, his psychological pressure would accumulate. Like the famous camel, the straw on its back increased day by day, and Lu Mo felt like a ticking time bomb.
This punch was the release of all the accumulated pressure over three long years.
It felt so joyful.
“…”
At that moment, a strange “giggle” sound came from the zerg queen’s throat. It sounded like a mix of laughter and crying, sending shivers down one’s spine.
The zerg queen slowly sat up, its jaw hanging loosely in the soup as it tilted its head to look at Lu Mo.
“What… do you know?”
Though the voice was muffled, Lu Mo understood it.
He smiled and asked, “Are you referring to… eating Song Jianshu or your collusion with the zerg emperor?”
He counted on his fingers, slowly saying, “Now, I know one more thing.”
“What is it?” The zerg queen’s eyes curved into a disturbing smile. “Can you tell me?”
Even if Lu Mo revealed these earth-shattering secrets, the zerg queen remained unfazed.
“Of course, I can tell you.” Lu Mo nonchalantly extended his third finger. “I also know that the zerg queen revered by the entire zerg tribe is actually an incredibly ugly monster!”
The zerg queen’s pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks, its facial muscles twitching. It stared intently at Lu Mo. “What did you say? Ah?”
What a terrifying face it had!
Like an evil spirit crawling out from hell, just one look was enough to make a person’s whole body go stiff. It was as if you were walking on the road and a massive truck came rushing toward you. You could only stand there, waiting for the truck to collide with you.
But Lu Mo acted as if he hadn’t seen anything. He continued, “Are you hard of hearing? But I’m always a polite scum–”
“Naturally, I don’t mind repeating it.”
Lu Mo tilted his chin, his face filled with unabashed mockery. He stared at the zerg queen and enunciated each word clearly, “I said… you are so disgustingly ugly that it makes me want to vomit.”
“You’re asking for death!!!!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the zerg queen disappeared from the water in an instant!
Where did it go?
The black-haired male zerg stood there in a daze, frantically twisting his neck to search for the zerg queen’s figure.
However, in his panic, he failed to notice that the zerg queen had leaped high and was now above his head.
Staring at the panicking male zerg, the zerg queen’s face contorted with extreme malice.

A slight “giggle” of joy escaped his throat as he lunged towards Lu Mo!
In the blink of an eye, just as the situation was getting critical, Lu Mo swiftly raised his hand. In his hand, the silver barrel of a gun was aimed steadily at the zerg queen.
“Bang—”
In the zerg queen’s eyes filled with disbelief, the powerful bullet pierced through its chest. The tremendous impact caused it to momentarily freeze in mid-air before falling into the water.
Lu Mo didn’t even lift his head.
“The latest model of the Pulse Heavy Shotgun, even the female zergs can’t withstand it. One shot can blow off half of their bodies.”
With a few clicks, the scorching bullet casings fell into the water as Lu Mo reloaded his gun. He calmly approached the zerg queen, saying, “The only drawback is the low capacity. It needs manual reloading after each shot.”
Lu Mo raised his arm, pointing the barrel at the zerg queen’s head. There was no ripple of emotion on his stern face. “Luckily, I am only facing one enemy.”
His index finger moved down, and with unwavering determination, he pulled the trigger.
With a thunderous gunshot, the bullet pierced through the zerg queen’s head, leaving a charred hole.
The system stammered in shock, [Eh, eh? Wasn’t there supposed to be some foreshadowing? Shouldn’t you have exposed the enemy’s conspiracy first?!]
Lu Mo chuckled, [Don’t you know that villains die from talking too much?]
The system: “…”
[Besides,] Lu Mo threw away the shotgun, furrowing his brow, [Guns don’t work against this damn thing!]
In the hole on the zerg queen’s forehead, new flesh twisted and grew, quickly restoring it to its original state.
“It hurts… so much…”
“It hurts… it hurts… it hurts so much!”
The zerg queen’s bright red tongue licked its lips, laughing manically as it lunged towards Lu Mo. “Lu Mo, it hurts so much! Your attacks hurt me so much!”
Lu Mo took a step back, his pupils trembling. [System! Think of a solution!]
The system panicked and screamed, [You have to use magic to defeat magic!]
Lu Mo couldn’t understand at all what the system was saying.
However, everything proceeded as planned.
Since a while ago, a continuous stream of system prompts echoed in Lu Mo’s mind.
Known: The zerg queen’s psychic energy is linked to the entire zerg tribe.
Also known: When the zerg queen is under attack, the zerg tribe falls into complete madness and hatred.
Therefore, there was only one result.
[Ding, Assassinating the zerg queen increases Scum value by 10,000!]
[Ding, Causing panic among all zerg tribes increases Scum value by 100,000!]
…
[Ding, Scum value increased by 1 million!]
[Ding, Scum value increased by 5 million!]
…
The progress bar representing Scum value skyrocketed at an unprecedented speed, surpassing the total accumulation of the past three years in an instant.
However, to advance from S-rank to SS-rank, it required an enormous amount of Scum value that couldn’t be compared to the past. Even though it rose rapidly, it still needed some time.
Until then… he had to hold on no matter what!
Gritting his teeth, Lu Mo faced the nearly insane zerg queen and finally stopped retreating.
Beside him, a crack appeared in the void, and the shattered edges distorted. Without hesitation, Lu Mo reached into the crack. From within, he pulled out a black-gold Tang knife.
Compared to its previous appearance, the aura of this knife seemed even heavier. One could almost hear a clear buzzing sound. Additionally, the most noticeable change was the golden lightning swirling around the blade, emitting crackling noises when it moved.
This was one of the rewards Lu Mo obtained after advancing to S-rank. He truly deserved the title of a man who spent money on card draws! He drew this matching enchantment on the knife in one go, leaving the system dumbfounded and unable to say anything other than “aba aba.”
However, this alone was still far from enough. He needed something more secure, and there was no need to say what it was.
[Advanced Mental Power Amplifier, confirmed usage.]
[Advanced Mental Power Amplifier, stacked increase of 30% effectiveness, confirmed usage.]
[Extreme Advanced Mental Power Amplifier, double stacked increase of 20% effectiveness, confirmed usage.]
…
[Advanced Mental Power Restorer, confirmed usage.]
[Advanced Mental Power Restorer, stacked increase of 30% effectiveness, confirmed usage.]
…
One bottle of potion after another was opened, and in an instant, all the preparations in the mental realm were completed.
Lu Mo shook the knife, a glint of coldness flashing in his green eyes. He slightly lowered his body as the warm water soaked through the fabric of his thighs.
Then, gripping the knife tightly, like a soaring arrow, he faced the zerg queen head-on!
The sharp Tang knife instantly pierced through the zerg queen’s chest, but it seemed completely unaffected. It closed in on Lu Mo, its eyes bloodshot, only ten centimeters away from him.
Their noses were almost touching, and if one ignored the zerg queen’s terrifying appearance, it resembled an intimate moment.
“You can’t escape, Lu Mo.”
The zerg queen greedily stared at Lu Mo, drooling from its wide-open mouth, the saliva dripping into the pool.
From any perspective, it appeared that Lu Mo was in a dangerous situation.
However, Lu Mo sneered, curling his lips. “Zerg queen, I’m waiting for time. What are you waiting for?”
“Are you waiting for the zerg tribe to come and save you?”
Lu Mo tightened his grip on the knife and forcefully turned it, carving a deep circle in the zerg queen’s chest. After using so many top-tier enhancement potions, even the zerg queen would find it difficult to match him in a battle of mental power. Its current show of force was nothing more than a bluff, waiting for the zerg tribe’s army to come and rescue it.
“But you forgot, who is guarding outside?” Lu Mo smiled playfully. “That was your personal choice, you know.”
“…” The zerg queen widened its eyes and instinctively looked towards the door. Guarding the entrance was…
Ling.
【Separated by One Door】
The silver-haired, red-eyed female zerg lowered her gaze. In front of her feet, all the priests in the room fell into a deep sleep. The poison of the eerie zerg had been diluted to one-thousandth of its original potency. But even at this diluted level, it only took a little to incapacitate an entire room of zergs. Now they were all unconscious and wouldn’t wake up for three days.
Ling deeply glanced at the closed door and then turned around, leaving the temple.
“Ling, you must guard the entrance for me, no matter what happens.”
It was the first time Ling saw Lu Mo with such a serious expression, but within those green eyes, there was a captivating light. Like a beam of light projected through the dense fog of the deep sea, it made him unable to resist following…
“Alright,” he heard himself say. “I will guard it for you, Lu Mo.”
The heavy stone door closed behind him. Ling stood atop a high mountain, surrounded by shallow clouds and mist. He drew the sword from his waist, his face full of determination.
One man guarding the pass is as good as ten thousand men.
The zerg queen’s wails echoed in the minds of every zerg in the territory. At this moment, the entire territory of zergs erupted in revolt.
Who? Who dares to harm our zerg queen!
They must be killed, they must be eliminated!
At the foot of the mountain, countless zerg soldiers converged into an unprecedented surge. Anyone who dared to stand in their way would be crushed into powder.
But as they frenziedly tried to charge forward, a seemingly inconspicuous figure appeared in the air.
Holding his younger brother, his wings spread, Iqi halted in mid-air and whispered in his ear, “Don’t be afraid.”
The young zerg timidly nodded and opened the bundle he had been holding.
The bundle seemed empty, but upon closer inspection, it was filled with light, drifting dust that scattered into the air with every gust.
“Mm… What is it?!”
“Not good! It’s… poison…”
In just a short moment, soldiers fell in droves. Even Iqi couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.
No wonder… Master said that his brother’s poison was the most effective thing. Its destructive power is just too great!
As the last specks of dust from the bundle fell, the younger brother hesitantly asked, “Is… is it done, big brother? What do we do next?”
Iqi raised his head, his gaze following the stone steps, all the way up, peering into the depths of the clouds.
Above halfway up the mountain, there was an even more terrifying female zerg guarding. It was said that he could pull the entire zerg tribe into his psychic realm, leaving them either dead or maimed.
Above that female zerg was another female zerg standing guard. Iqi didn’t know the identity of that one. He wore a neat but icy butler’s uniform, but his demeanor was more that of an assassin…
And at the top of the mountain was Ling.
Nothing… will happen! Iqi clenched his fist silently.
I wasn’t quite prepared for such and exciting turn. A scum bag of action.

loud nonstop clapping this is so exciting,
thank you for the chapters ❤
Thank you for the multiple chapter update, I am rooting for Lu Mo and his team 😀
My memory is so bad, I remember that butler person but I can’t remember their name or how they got here 😭😭
I think it’s the first one, that came with the house and was trained by the butler
‘the wails of the Zerg queen echoed in the minds of every zerg in the territory’ but why is lu mo’s group still can stand still to guard him?
I’m guessing it’s just sound, like an alarm. It doesn’t force you to protect the queen, but most zergs would, since she’s supposedly vital to the race. However our band of baddies doesn’t care, so it’s basically just soundtrack for boss fight to them. 🤔😂
when did we suddenly change genres lol
The moment he decided to stay back and level up
Gaining points just to be deducted later ಥ‿ಥ
