"The Poisonous Insect King… can it be bred? We don't actually need that many, we can take it slow." Ye Shikai asked.
"Impossible. If the Poisonous Insect King could be bred, then the other Worms wouldn't need to exist at all, we'd just breed Poisonous Insect Kings directly." Wuyan went on, "The Poisonous Insect King has a very low reproduction rate, and it's extremely hard to cultivate."
"That does make sense." Ye Shikai understood the logic of the "food chain". If you treat Worms as a kind of "food chain", then the Poisonous Insect King is at the top. As the apex creature, its numbers would naturally be the smallest, and its reproduction rate the lowest; otherwise how are the Worms below supposed to 'play'.
But if the Poisonous Insect King can't be cultivated, and it's that scarce in number, how can it effectively restrain the synthetic poison insects? That's the real big problem.
"This Fat Cicada really is useless, huh."
