Zhou Qi tried to see if the Five煞 Insect Soldiers could replace the Four Fiends Insect Soldiers in the One-Star Talent: External Insect Nest. He communicated with the Twelfth-Order Army Ant Queen through a mental link and found that, theoretically, the Five煞 Insect Soldiers could indeed take the previous slot.

However, looking at the life strength and attributes of the Five煞 Insect Soldiers, he weighed his options carefully and decided not to replace them directly.

After all, given the current situation, the daily reproduction rate of these newly born Five煞 Insect Soldiers was estimated to be similar to that of the Mingling Devil. If he were to replace them now, the overall combat power replenishment speed might not necessarily increase.

He planned to wait until the Army Ant Queen's Rank was a bit higher, or when the talent pool could refresh new reproduction-type talents, before considering a replacement.

Just as he was thinking about this, Uka rushed over, reporting with a slightly hurried expression: "Dominator, the Lizardmen Tribe from the north has migrated over en masse. They are currently heading towards the Geocentric Base."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qi immediately stood up and strode towards the base's city wall.

Standing on the city wall, he gazed into the distance and saw a large convoy slowly approaching. The team included old and young, strong warriors and weak civilians. They were moving with their families, carrying simple luggage, and struggling to advance on the rugged Earth's Core roads.

Zhou Qi gazed at the team, and after a moment of thought, turned to Uka beside him and said: "Allocate an area in the northern part of the base for them to settle. Ensure that area has ample resources and security."

Then, he meticulously arranged: "Lizardmen below three horns, have them work with the Spiked Horned Tyrant Bugs to expand the base, or to care for the Yellow Mealworms in the breeding area; all those with three horns and above will be incorporated into the guard team, responsible for the base's patrol duties."

Uka accepted the order and quickly went to arrange the relevant matters.

Zhou Qi knew that to truly win the loyalty of these Lizardmen, besides providing them with a stable life, he also had to offer some benefits.

Therefore, he ordered the preparation of a large quantity of Yellow Mealworms that had consumed tai sui meat, as a reward for the Lizardmen. These Yellow Mealworms contained high-energy substances that could accelerate the Lizardmen's evolution and enhance their life potential.

Goro led his clansmen slowly towards the Geocentric Base. Along the way, the Lizardmen in the team whispered among themselves, filled with curiosity and apprehension about the new place they were heading to.

The children's eyes sparkled with excitement, chirping non-stop with questions, while the adults looked solemn, silently observing the unfamiliar surroundings.

When they finally arrived at the Geocentric Base, the sight before them left everyone in awe.

Giant Bug Clan Family members moved like mobile fortresses, bustling through the base, and the powerful aura emanating from them filled the Lizardmen with reverence.

Strange buildings were scattered in an orderly fashion, and facilities shimmering with mysterious light dazzled them. All of this far exceeded their imagination, like Liu Grandma entering the Grand View Garden.

Under the guidance of the guides arranged by Uka, the Lizardmen orderly entered their allocated areas.

The Lizardmen below three horns looked at the massive, incredibly strong Spiked Horned Tyrant Bugs with a mixture of nervousness and excitement. They followed instructions and went with the Spiked Horned Tyrant Bugs to the base expansion site.

The Spiked Horned Tyrant Bugs easily lifted heavy stones with their huge mandibles, while the Lizardmen helped by passing smaller stones. Although their strength was negligible compared to the Spiked Horned Tyrant Bugs, everyone worked very diligently.

The Lizardmen who went to the breeding area to care for the Yellow Mealworms looked at the dense Yellow Mealworms with great novelty. This was truly a first in the Geocentric World, like finding a scorpion's droppings.

They carefully fed the Yellow Mealworms a feed mixed with tai sui meat, as instructed, their eyes full of curiosity for these magical insects.

And after the Lizardmen with three horns and above were incorporated into the guard team, they immediately began to familiarize themselves with the patrol routes and job responsibilities.

They looked at the Bug Clan Family members also responsible for patrolling beside them, secretly marveling.

These Bug Clan Family members had sharp eyes, constantly vigilant of everything around them. That focus and majesty made the Lizardmen understand that they had to adapt quickly to keep up with the pace of this powerful group.

At the same time, in the Lizardmen Tribe where Moga Luo was located, the parasitic operation was steadily advancing.

During this period, they not only successfully had all the ordinary Lizardmen in the outer layer parasitized by Mind Control Demon Bug, but also extended their tentacles to the Elite Lizardmen in the inner layer. More than half of the Elite Lizardmen were also unknowingly infiltrated by Mind Control Demon Bug.

At this moment, in the Lizardmen's lair, groups of ordinary Lizardmen were walking towards the inner area that was normally forbidden to them.

Previously, this was the exclusive territory of the Elite Lizardmen. Now, the Lizardmen guarding the inner layer, under the influence of the Mind Control Demon Bug, turned a blind eye to the entry of these ordinary Lizardmen, and even mechanically joined their Ranks.

These parasitized Lizardmen had empty eyes, but their steps were firm, acting according to Moga Luo's instructions.

Moga Luo stood behind many Lizardmen, accompanied by several robust figures in black robes.

These Elite Lizardmen now obeyed Moga Luo implicitly, like a group of loyal guards. They walked together towards the deepest palace where the leader resided.

Along the way, more and more parasitized Lizardmen silently joined the team, and the entire tribe was filled with a tense atmosphere, like a storm brewing.

As the team gradually approached the palace, the surrounding buildings became even more magnificent and ornate, adorned with various exquisite carvings and strange runes, showcasing their former majesty.

The guards were also more stringent, but these guards had also been parasitized. Seeing Moga Luo and his group approach, they merely bowed woodenly, offering no resistance.

When they arrived at the palace gate, the huge stone door slowly opened, emitting a heavy "creak" sound.

Moga Luo led the group in with their heads held high.

Inside the palace, it was spacious and dim. Huge stone pillars supported the high dome, and the floor was paved with smooth stone slabs, reflecting the figures of everyone.

The nine-horned Lizardmen leader was sitting on a huge stone chair, handling some matters recorded on special beast hides.

When it saw Moga Luo suddenly burst in with so many people, its face instantly darkened. Just as it was about to get up and get angry, it found that the two black-robed figures beside Moga Luo, who were Mingling Devil, flashed and brutally pinned it to the ground.

Moga Luo looked at the once high and mighty leader, a slight smile playing on his lips, a hint of triumph flashing in his eyes: "Leader, from now on, this tribe will obey the command of another great Dominator."

With that, he took out a Rank 6 Mind Control Magic Insect from his embrace.

This Magic Insect trembled slightly in his hand, emitting an eerie glow.
