"Hiss, hiss hiss..."
Several pale purple tentacles shot out from within the flesh cocoon and wrapped around the box.
"Bang!!!"
The box shattered under the entanglement of the purple tentacles, revealing the pale purple crystal stones hidden inside.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"
The tentacles crushed the purple crystals into fragments, then wrapped around them one by one, absorbing them into the pulsating flesh cocoon.
Emery observed the flesh cocoon for a moment. Standing still, he closed his eyes to condense his spirit, as if communicating with the cocoon.
A moment later, Emery reopened his eyes, turned to look at the alien patriarch Malcolm, and said, "You have done well. For the birth of the Queen Bug, I will need more crystal stones and to devour more creatures. Do you understand?"
Malcolm's eyes flickered with confusion for a second before he respectfully nodded and replied, "Yes, Honored One."
"And what about the black crystals I asked you to find?"
