บท 734: In Front of the Queen's Lair (I)
The ancient tree in the center of the Glittering Forest was truly massive. Sitting in a wide clearing with no other trees to compete with for sunlight, its branches spread out horizontally to cover an area the size of a small city. Countless armies of insects roamed the surrounding forest and around the tree. They numbered in hundreds of thousands and even millions. Even if a Spirit King were to show up, they would have to fight through an endless horde of insects before they could even touch a single leaf of the ancient tree.
The human captives were flown by the dragonflies through this seemingly impenetrable defense. The convoy zoomed up the gnarled tree trunk, through the huge green leaves as wide as doors that made up the foliage, and finally arrived at a flat platform that was as wide as a city square.
One end of the platform led to the tree trunk where there was an ominous hole big enough to fit a large creature or insect. All around, there were sturdy wooden cages, mostly empty. Only a handful of human prisoners that remained had looks of despair as if they had given up on life.
A large mantis over two meters tall landed in front of the dragonflies, "A good batch, throw them in the cages. Mama's appetite is very good today. I doubt this batch will last the whole day. Tell Green Thirty-two to prepare another batch for the evening."
The dragonfly in the lead nodded in understanding.
Next, the dragonflies unloaded their cargo and threw the human prisoners into cages. They didn't really care if one cage was too crowded compared to the next. There were over two hundred humans. Those too young and weak or old and frail had been left out, leaving only the strong ones with high cultivation. But there were enough cages to make them comfortable, not that any of the insects cared. All of these were meat bags, food for their queen.
Chen Wentian and Jasmine tumbled into a cage. They were joined by three people, two men and a woman. They wore the same type of clothes, seemingly from the same sect.
"Dirty insects, I'll kill you all!" One of the men leaped up and shook the wooden bars.
The strength he exerted was at the upper levels of the Spirit Initiate Realm but it hardly had any effect on the sturdy cage.
"Let me out!"
"Please!"
"I don't want to die!"
Brave shouts were joined by frightened ones. There were a variety of reactions that covered the spectrum. But mostly, the people were resigned to their fate.
Chen Wentian looked around at their situation. With so many human morsels and the mantis queen's appetite, it was a toss-up as to when their turn would be. It could come early in the morning or in the late afternoon.
Therefore, they would have to coordinate with Chen Mo, Zhou Ziyun, and Li Yuechan who were currently attending the auction. They couldn't cause too much trouble too early or it would be wasted. It also couldn't come too late or else the lion lord and eagle lord would have already left the city to investigate whatever was happening inside the forest.
"Aiya, so noisy," Jasmine muttered.
The prisoners were still shouting. Some had given up but a few had decided that they were going to yell until either their voices gave out or they were killed.
Jasmine covered the top of her head with her hands. Her fox ears were hidden by the thick traveling cloak but this made the noise slightly more bearable. Her actions were quite adorable. Chen Wentian smiled and hugged her tightly.
A short time later, there was a change on the platform. Another large mantis flew over the cages, throwing a pink powder on the humans.
"What is this?"
"Stop!"
"Ehh?"
"My body feels hot…"
Following this, a strange turn of events started to occur. Starting with the ones that were first affected by the powder, men and women alike started tearing off their clothes and hugging each other. Soon, all the angry shouts and frightened screams were replaced by wanton moans and sounds of pleasure.
In a cage nearby that had suffered the effects of the powder, there was one young man of twenty-four or twenty-five. He was surrounded by four older women who had torn open their own clothes, revealing their breasts. Some were still perky while some were starting to sag from age. The women were like ravenous beasts as they fought and clawed each other to get access to his pants. Once those pants were torn to shreds, they attacked his cock, quickly bringing it to attention with their desperate tongues.
The young man's eyes were wide open. He seemed lucid, able to comprehend what was happening. But he was powerless to stop and soon even started to enjoy it. He turned into a lion enjoying his pride. He stuck his cock into each woman's mouth, fucking their throats for a while before giving another woman a turn. His face was overcome by ecstasy when he finally came, spraying all four women with his seed, and watched with a satisfied smile as they promptly started to fight each other for every last drop.
In another cage, there was only one woman and three men of various ages. She was young, perhaps no more than eighteen or nineteen. But she was the first to tear off her clothes until she was completely naked. Unable to resist the urges of the aphrodisiac powder, she tackled one of the men and buried her face into his crotch. As she did so, she left her naked ass and pussy exposed to the other two men who quickly pounced. One of them started kissing and licking her pussy as if it was the most delicious thing in the world while the other one actually started sucking on her toes.
Chen Wentian frowned. Such scenes of debauchery were quickly overtaking the prisoners. Few could resist and those that could were overwhelmed by those that couldn't.
It wasn't just the pink powder as its effects were actually quite mild and not life-threatening. It was mostly due to the stress of the situation and the feeling of impending death that everyone was experiencing. In the last few moments before certain death, with an effective mental push in the right direction, these people were willing to throw away their last shreds of dignity and engage in a final love affair with strangers they had just met. After all, what else was there to do? Wallow in despair or enjoy each other's flesh until the end?
"Wow. They are going at it." Jasmine commented, her eyes also roaming over the surrounding scenes.
Ever since her first time mating with Chen Wentian, she had always had a high sex drive. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't getting a little wet from watching these perverted actions. She just didn't want to admit it just yet as she knew that he would definitely tease her.
"Why do you think the insects did that?" She asked.
"Hmm." Chen Wentian pondered.
The two of them were, of course, not affected by such weak aphrodisiac medicine. The powder only made their noses slightly itchy.
"Perhaps this is the queen mantis' way of making her meals tastier. Maybe if they are happy, their meat is more tender."
"Ew." Jasmine pouted and made a face.
He chuckled, "Hey, you asked."
Just then, one of the men who shared their cage jumped to his feet, "Junior Sister Su, I can't hold back anymore!"
His face was flushed and his brow was covered in beads of sweat. His spiritual energy was turbulent. He pounced on the female cultivator beside him, furiously kissing her neck, her face, and her lips.
