Chapter 412 -412-Found It, the Celestial Realm Core!
Avril activated the metallic sphere.
The next instant, a pale blue halo spread across the surface of the metallic sphere.
The halos rippled outward like waves, one layer after another. According to Avril’s explanation, when these waves touched the Celestial Realm core, they would send feedback to the metallic sphere. The general principle was similar to ultrasonic positioning.
Caelan stood to the side, watching the scene before him with utter boredom. Suddenly, a bold idea emerged in his mind.
"What would happen if I killed the Insect Lord?"
Among the current bizarre creatures, the insect-type creatures were one of the largest groups. Their strength was not weak either, and they had been the main force in the battle just now.
That was why Caelan wondered whether killing the Insect Lord might bring him some unexpected reward.
However, this thought gave Avril beside him a fright.
She looked at Caelan with a guarded expression, her voice carrying a hint of fear.
"Human, please stop having that suicidal madman idea!"
"Do you have any idea that all of the insect-type bizarre creatures are under the Insect Lord’s control? If you kill the Insect Lord, every single insect-type bizarre creature will fall into complete madness. Do you understand?"
Caelan was slightly stunned. Then he shrugged with a somewhat apologetic look.
"I didn’t expect that thing to be this troublesome. But my original goal is only the Celestial Realm core. You know that."
After the great battle earlier, Caelan did not want to fight an all-out war to the death against these bizarre creatures.
Because if they truly went mad, then with Caelan alone, or even with Avril added in, their strength would still not be enough to deal with it.
Avril stood to the side. While waiting for feedback from the metallic sphere, she also spoke.
"To be honest, I didn’t expect us to actually enter the Insect Nest. I thought you would give up. I didn’t expect your strength to exceed my imagination."
Caelan, on the other hand, said calmly, "You might not know this, but I’ve encountered many troubles before. Compared to those, the bizarre creatures don’t really count for much."
Caelan’s adventures had always taken him through all kinds of dangerous regions. Because of that, what he had encountered in the Beta Sector was something he had long since grown accustomed to.
Avril, however, was filled with curiosity after hearing Caelan’s words.
"Tell me about the troubles you encountered before. We have nothing else to do right now anyway."
Caelan nodded and began his story.
"For us humans, any awakener who wants to increase their strength needs to complete a [Class Star Ascension Quest] after reaching the level cap."
"In the past, in order to complete my quests, I entered the abyss, spatial rifts, dark spaces... and the Void Frontier."
"The existence of those worlds is somewhat similar to your Celestial Realm. Most of them have native intelligent lifeforms. But there are also some worlds, like the Void Frontier, that have no native beings at all, only countless Deathborn and monsters..."
"Speaking of which, it was in the Void Frontier that I rescued you, though you probably won’t believe me..."
"However, this trip to the Beta Sector has given me a deep sense of being targeted. I last experienced this feeling a long time ago, when I helped our warband maintain a Runic Array. Back then, the Runic Array of our warband had been maintained in advance by someone whose abilities were very similar to mine."
"These bizarre creatures I encountered this time gave me a similar feeling. That’s why the battle just now felt somewhat difficult."
At this point, Caelan helplessly spread his hands.
For some reason, he felt as though someone was secretly and deliberately setting up trouble for him.
Avril, on the other hand, felt that Caelan’s description sounded far too fantastical.
However, the attributes of these bizarre creatures did indeed counter Caelan.
For a moment, she rubbed her head, unsure of what to say.
Could it be...
Was it simply because Caelan’s luck was too terrible?
Caelan shook his head, a trace of anger flashing through his eyes.
"No matter who it is, that damned bastard has already caused trouble for me several times. I absolutely won’t let him go!"
Avril nodded as well and could not help clenching her small fists.
"That damned scoundrel put me in danger too. If you find him next time, make sure to call me. I’ll beat him up with you!"
"No problem. As you wish."
A serious expression appeared on Caelan’s face.
He suddenly realized that Avril beside him no longer seemed as aggressive and overbearing as before.
Thinking about it, after the battle just now, the relationship between the two of them had clearly eased quite a bit.
However, whenever he thought of Avril’s older sister, Alice, Caelan felt somewhat strange inside.
Just then, the metallic sphere beside them suddenly began to vibrate, producing a buzzing sound.
Avril’s eyes lit up. She immediately pressed her palm against the metallic sphere and said excitedly, "I feel it! I can feel the location of the Celestial Realm core!"
The next instant, without another word, Avril grabbed Caelan’s arm and dragged him in a certain direction.
Avril knew very well that this was the Insect Nest. If things were not handled properly, they might even die here.
Therefore, every extra second they lingered meant another second of danger.
Under Avril’s lead, she and Caelan swiftly shuttled through the tunnels.
As Caelan advanced, with the distance to the Celestial Realm core growing shorter and shorter, he suddenly discovered a familiar fluctuation coming from within his storage space.
Caelan was slightly stunned and subconsciously reached into his storage space.
Then he discovered that the item producing the fluctuation was actually the [Devouring Core]!
Wait.
Why would the [Devouring Core] react to the Celestial Realm core?
Could it be...
The [Devouring Core] in Caelan’s hand was a trophy he had brought back from the [Void Frontier].
All this time, he had never fully developed the complete effects of the [Devouring Core].
But he had not expected that, now that he was about to face the Celestial Realm core, the [Devouring Core] would actually take the initiative to react.
Could it be that the [Devouring Core] wanted to devour the Celestial Realm core?
If it swallowed the core, what kind of effect would it trigger?
Just as Caelan was thinking about all of this, the two of them had already arrived deep within the nest.
What Caelan had never expected was that, in the deepest part of the Insect Nest, there was actually an enormous open space hidden away!
This area was as large as more than a dozen football fields!
The entire cavern was densely covered in spiderwebs.
