Chapter 47 (1/2)

One of the important variables that made up an ecosystem was the relationshi+p of natural predators

If there weren’t any natural predators, unlimited reproduction would destroy the ecosystem and in the end destroy itself

The bugs in front of him were like that

If they ate up all the roots, the bugs would most certainly die

However, the Fire Tar wanted his

‘The Art of Death skill can’t be a solution all the time’

He could s into an undead

At most, he could create 100 of them a day

But most importantly, he couldn’t make them multiply like he did with the zombies

‘Undead is a curse normally cast on humans and other humanoid races’

Bugs weren’t a humanoid race Of course, they weren’t included

‘I need natural predators’

It seemed necessary for him to make ‘natural predators’ protect the Poom tree

A natural predator of a bug everyone kneas a bird

However, it wouldn’t be able to consue bird

It was hard to get flocks of huge birds immediately

‘Overpopulated aphids’

Muyoung picked up a bug and looked at it carefully

As he pressed on the bug’s bulging belly, he was able to feel that it was full of water

They had already sucked out the Poom tree’s sap

Bugs like aphids tended to extend their lives like this

‘The natural predator of aphids are beetles’

He had learned about bugs when he was training to become an assassin

He beca everything including poison, anis and etc

There were so on the situation

For exas of solitude that died when their partner died, some that reacted to a specific sound and some that followed a specific scent It was a world of infinite possibilities

‘The Plutoniannian Beetle…’

Soon after, Muyoung remembered its name

The Plutonian Beetle was a beetle type rew up to 1 meter

It dug up the ground and used its long round

Norh he wasn’t sure if these s, he felt it orth a try

Muyoung took out a talisman

Soon, a flock of 100 harpies flew around Muyoung

“Search as far as you can and find bugs that look like these Bring them back alive”

Muyoung drew a picture on the ground

He described its characteristics and ordered the harpies to paralyze the bugs and to bring them to him alive

Harpies possessed a paralyzing poison in their wings

It should definitely be possible for the harpies to fulfill this task as the Plutonian Beetle were very strong

After a day, 30 harpies returned

“…Hmm”

Muyoung knitted his brows after looking at the different types of bugs the harpies brought him

Maybe it was because they were undead or perhaps it was because they were birdbrain but there were no Plutonian Beetles

As time passed, more than 20 appeared but the situation was the same

‘Did the others that didn’t return die?’

Muyoung was able to see the last few houl or a zombie died

However, he was unable to confirm if the others died possibly because harpies had small brain capacities

‘More than half came back alive’

But, it was still a relief that this much had come back alive as they recklessly ventured all over the Demon God’s Territory

He expected only about half to survive but 70 percent did

‘But, there is still a chance’

Muyoung still held on to this slight chance Aiant aphids

He dug a hole and s that the harpies brought together

However, it didn’t result in any great effect as he hoped

‘The bugs can’t use their strength’

It was strange

Did sos?

Besides the aphids, all the rest of the bugs didn’t move properly

Theirin fear

Every day, Muyoung continuously let the harpies out to investigate the cause

And using all the undead, he was restricting the territory of the bugs

It was to protect its roots even a little longer

And after 7 days, Muyoung was finally able to get the one he wanted

‘The Plutonian Beetle!’

Finally, he was able to obtain a Plutonian Beetle

Only 10 harpies were left

It was by sheer luck

On top of that, the Plutonian Beetle was bearing eggs

Only about 1 of the 1000 eggs it bore becae an environment he could increase it to 10

However… like the other bugs, the Plutonian Beetle’s body was stiff It was scared

“What do you think is the problem?”

“I, don’t know”

Muyoung questioned the Blazing Spear Soldier as he sat on a rock

Although the Blazing Spear Soldier had the knowledge of Fire Dragon Woo, it seemed like this problem exceeded his ability

It seemed like it would becos were scared, even if he did find a natural predator

If he used the ‘Eye of the Sky’ skill, he would be able to use the knowledge in the Sky Library but ould he search for if he didn’t even know the cause

‘I have analyzed situations more complex than this’

Although it hen he was brainwashed, Muyoung was able to succeed in everything fro

It wasn’t like he couldn’t do it anymore

Muyoung climbed up the tree

The Fire Tars would have scolded him if they found out

However, he needed to be daring Nothing would change if he just stood there

Then Muyoung closed his eyes as he assi with the wind

The sky was quiet

Even the ground was quiet

This place was especially quiet

Muyoung shut off his emotions Even his spirit was shut off

He atteanism

It was his last resort to find out why the bugs were afraid of this place

However, it wasn’t enough His primal human nature refused

Although Muyoung had becoround as he concealed hi like a s
