Chapter 1259
Less than an hour after deciding on his missions, Lin Huang arrived on Kraft Planet, the location of his intended target .

The entire planet seemed to reek of rot and decay . Murky raindrops fell from the gloomy sky . There were no plants to be seen, and faint traces of animal claw marks and snake trails were visible in the muddy soil .
“The stench in the air is terrible,” Lin Huang could not help frowning a little under his mask .
A moment later, a Bug Tribe army appeared in front of him .
The Bug Tribe army was made up of two pseudo-mythical-level Bug Servants and 20,000 imperial-level purple gold-rank Bug Tribe fighters .
“Both of you take 10,000 fighters each, head to the two respective Shelters on this planet and wipe them out . Bring me both of the guardians’ bodies and make sure they’re intact, then handle the rest of the carcasses yourselves . Don’t forget to look for loot while you’re at it . ”
Both Bug Servants selected 10,000 fighters each and went their separate ways after the order was given .
Perhaps the massive tribes of the Boa Seal Shelter and Violet Rat Shelter intimidated other people; for Lin Huang, that proved no obstacle to his hunt .
No matter how many boas and rats there were, their numbers were child’s play compared to his Bug Tribe armies .
The Bug Tribe army produced by the four Bug Tribe Queen Mothers had exceeded 300 million from very early on . Not only that, the weakest Bug Tribe fighter was at imperial-level purple gold-rank in combat strength . Any random fighter sent into battle would be no less powerful than either of the guardians, Vine Boa or Lumi Rat .
Besides, apart from the Bug Tribe fighters, there were two pseudo-mythical-level Bug Servants and seven mythical-level bug beasts that were on the same level as the Queen Mothers .
Two Bug Servants and two 10,000 Bug Tribe armies were definitely sufficient to handle two grade-1 Shelters .
The reason the Shelters had to be wiped out was to prevent news spreading to Protoss about the appearance of the Bug Tribe, which would attract unnecessary trouble .

After the Bug Tribe armies had departed, Lin Huang activated Divine Telekinesis and was very soon able to observe the battle situation .
Within ten minutes of their departure, both Bug Tribe armies encountered hunting teams that were outside of the Shelters .
Both hunting teams comprised over ten elite members of their tribe . However, the poor things were killed almost as soon as they discovered the Bug Tribe armies . As for the Bug Tribe armies themselves, this did not slow them down at all as they advanced towards their targets .
A little over half an hour later, both of the Bug Tribe armies arrived at the Shelters they had been assigned to and commenced a one-sided massacre .
Although the members of both of the Shelters outnumbered the Bug Tribe armies by a hundredfold, the battle was one-sided, as was to be expected . Attacks from countless beasts and rats could not break the defenses that the Queen Mother had so painstakingly drilled into her troops .
Within ten minutes, both of the Shelters were completely wiped out . No lives were spared .
After leaving behind a small team to search for loot, both Bug Tribe armies separated into 100 individual small teams respectively to search for other hunting parties that might still be outside the Shelters .
The 200 Bug Tribe teams spent around two hours combing the entire planet and killing several hunting teams in the process . After making sure that there were no survivors, the Bug Tribe teams reformed their squadrons then returned to Lin Huang in a collective army along with all the beast carcasses and loot .
Lin Huang only collected the loot and both of the guardians’ bodies . The rest of the carcasses he gave to the army to bring back to the Queen Mothers as raw material .
Having successfully killed two birds with one stone, Lin Huang immediately headed to his second destination – the Misty Toxin Planet .
Just as its name suggested, the Misty Toxin Planet was a planet covered in poisonous mist .
The entire planet was shrouded in gray mist all year round . Powerhouses below virtual god-level and even imperial-level powerhouses were not immune to the lethal poisons that were to be found within the mist itself .

As Death Sickle only published this mission in the reserve members section and the reward points were a measly 300 points, it was perfectly natural that nobody was willing to take the risk .
Lin Huang had been willing to attempt this mission because it was close to the location of the previous two . Another reason was that since he had Divine Fire within his body, he was not afraid of the toxins on the planet .
However, the moment he set foot on the Misty Toxin Planet, Lin Huang found he could not take the stench of the poisonous mist .
“This toxic mist reeks a hundred times worse than the air on that other planet . It’s making me sick…”
He felt disgusted as soon as he inhaled, so he had to stop breathing and put his body into breath-circulation mode .
With his imperial-level combat strength, although he could not keep up this internal breathing mode indefinitely, he could maintain it for three to five days .
The mission for the Misty Toxin Planet was to kill a Poisonous Swamp Frog and retrieve its venom .
It did not take long for Lin Huang to locate the Poisonous Swamp Frog’s toxic swamp on the missions map . He summoned Thunder and set off for his destination at a furious gallop .
Thunder took less than two minutes to travel over 8,000 kilometers
and galloped faster than the local monsters on the Misty Toxin Planet could see with the naked eye . As a result, Lin Huang and Thunder encountered no obstacles along the way .
Lin Huang could not help frowning a little under his mask as they arrived above their destination—a bubbling purple-black swamp with steam rising from it . Before setting out, he had read from the mission details that most of the toxic gases on this planet came from the huge swamp currently below him .
The swamp covered close to a third of the entire planet . It was 500 million square kilometers, which was comparable to the earth’s entire surface area .

According to data records, there were less than 100 Poisonous Swamp Frogs in this entire swamp .
Apart from Poisonous Swamp Frogs, the swamp was also home to other monster species; at a count, these ran into tens of thousands . Taken altogether, the various monster tribes added up to at least billions in number .
Finding a Poisonous Swamp Frog in this swamp was definitely like looking for a needle in a haystack .
Fortunately, Lin Huang had a solution . He gestured with his hands and summoned Grimace .
“What the hell is this evil-smelling sh*tty place?!” Grimace complained the moment he materialized . Subsequently, he shut down his breathing system immediately .
“A toxic swamp on the Misty Toxic Planet in God Territory within the great world,” Lin Huang informed him before continuing, “I accepted a mission to find a Poisonous Swamp Frog…”
Lin Huang projected the Poisonous Swamp Frog’s likeness as he spoke, “Capture one for me, I don’t care if it’s alive or not . ”
“In this swamp?” Grimace asked .
“That’s right . ”
“How big is the swamp?” Grimace enquired again .
“Approximately 500 million square kilometers . ”
“That’s not exactly easy,” Grimace smirked .
“A set of god relic flying daggers or a god relic puppet, take your pick . ” Lin Huang knew that Grimace was looking to get some benefits for himself .
“I’ll go for the flying daggers then,” Grimace gave his answer after some consideration .
“Sure . Off with you now,” Lin Huang nodded without hesitation .
“Alright!” Grimace seemed to be in a good mood since he had managed to get what he wanted . He activated his God Territory directly, covering the maximum radius of 20,000 kilometers .
A moment later, all monsters within the Territory fell under an illusory spell .
Grimace turned his head and asked Lin Huang, “Is one enough? Do you want a few more?”
“No, one is fine . ” Lin Huang did not expect Grimace to be so efficient .
Lin Huang had almost finished speaking when a gigantic silhouette suddenly thrashed out of the swamp .
Lin Huang scrutinized it closely . The Poisonous Swamp Frog was a gigantic frog monster five meters tall, weighing at least three tonnes . Its body, wreathed in toxic black mist, was bound by Grimace’s telekinetic thread . Yanked out from deep within the swamp, it hit the ground hard in front of Lin Huang and promptly fell unconscious .
Lin Huang did not hesitate as he used the telekinetic thread to pick up a flying dagger and slit open the Poisonous Swamp Frog’s chin . He retrieved its venom as if he had done it many times before…
