At that moment, two guards suddenly flew out from inside the Giant Moth Nest, seemingly coming to change shifts. The Wing Blade Deputy Captain keenly seized this excellent opportunity and immediately signaled for action. The members of the Daredevil Squad moved like ghosts, swiftly and silently approaching the entrance of the nest. Years of fighting side by side had forged a tacit understanding among the Daredevil Squad members, allowing them to communicate without words. With just hand gestures, the Wing Blade Deputy Captain could precisely direct his team to spring into action. He left one member responsible for creating a diversion outside, who quietly flew to a concealed spot behind the nest and deliberately made noise to successfully attract the guards' attention. As the two guards turned to investigate, Hua Hua and several other team members quickly took advantage of this brief window to enter the nest!
The moment they stepped into the nest, Hua Hua and the Daredevil Squad members immediately donned their masks, a suggestion from the Intelligence Team scouts, as the stench inside the Giant Moth's nest was unbearable! The interior was exceptionally dim because both the Giant Moth and its larvae were very sensitive to light. Thus, once inside, the squad relied solely on Hua Hua's memory of the Insect Eggs reconnaissance map and their own sense of touch to navigate forward. They formed a single file line, carefully following Hua Hua as they cautiously traversed the winding passages, doing their utmost to avoid touching anything that might make noise.
After an indeterminate number of turns, they finally arrived at an open space. This area appeared quite special; the surrounding walls were polished smooth, and the ground was covered with thick plant fibers and feathers—soft and warm. Hundreds of moth Insect Eggs lay quietly there; this was the Giant Moth's Insect Egg Chamber. The Wing Blade Deputy Captain gently picked up one of the Insect Eggs, its surface remarkably smooth. He quickly placed it into a specially designed container and signaled everyone to hurry up while being careful not to make any noise. The team members followed suit, cautiously picking up Insect Eggs and placing them into containers.
Just then, a Giant Moth guard unexpectedly flew out from a nearby passage! Its long antennae waved in the air as if sensing something unusual around it. The Daredevil Squad members immediately froze in place, trying to hide in the shadows. Meanwhile, the Wing Blade Deputy Captain kept his eyes fixed on this guard, ready to act at any moment; he intended to deal with this troublesome creature as quietly as possible.
Time seemed to freeze; every second felt exceptionally long. The guard circled around the entrance of the Insect Egg Chamber for a while before finally turning and slowly leaving. Hua Hua and her fellow squad members breathed a sigh of relief and quickened their pace. One by one, Insect Eggs were carefully placed into containers. The Wing Blade Deputy Captain remained vigilant, observing his surroundings and ready to signal for retreat at any moment.
Suddenly, a faint sound seemed to ripple through the silence of the nest; an Insect Egg had accidentally slipped from the edge of a container and rolled onto the ground. What would have been a minor sound in any other setting was glaringly loud in such a quiet environment. The guard who had just left was immediately alerted; almost instantaneously upon hearing the noise, he rushed back toward the Insect Egg Chamber!
“Quick! Everyone take another route!” commanded the Wing Blade Deputy Captain in a low voice. The Daredevil Squad members did not hesitate for even a moment; they quickly packed up their containers and followed Hua Hua down another path to escape. However, the Wing Blade Deputy Captain chose not to retreat with them. He swiftly darted into the shadows of the Insect Egg Chamber. His gaze was sharp as a knife, locking onto the Giant Moth guard that had just rushed in. This guard cautiously patrolled the chamber, its large wings stirring up a foul wind while its eyes glowed eerily green in the darkness.
Holding his breath, the Wing Blade Deputy Captain approached his target lightly and silently. He took a deep breath before suddenly spreading his wings and charging at the Giant Moth guard with lightning speed. His wings traced an almost invisible arc through the air until he was right behind it; in his hand was a Triangular Bayonet gleaming with deadly sharpness. Just as this Giant Moth turned around, he delivered a fatal strike. His Triangular Bayonet accurately pierced into its vital spot—the junction between its wings and body. This lightning-fast attack left the Giant Moth no time to make even a sound before it collapsed lifelessly.
After ensuring that no other guards had been alerted outside of the Insect Egg Chamber, he quickly dragged the Giant Moth's corpse behind a pile of Insect Eggs and covered it with feathers. He needed to delay its discovery for as long as possible to give enough time for the Rebel Alliance to set up an ambush.
On their way out, Hua Hua displayed extraordinary memory and sense of direction as if she had an intricate map of the entire Giant Moth Nest imprinted in her mind. Although they did not return via their original route, she quickly found the correct direction for retreating. Upon successfully reuniting with the Wing Blade Deputy Captain, they received clever support from their waiting teammates. The Crimson-eyed Bee member responsible for extraction suddenly dashed toward the entrance of the nest; this unexpected move startled two guards who thought it was another round of guerrilla harassment from the Rebel Alliance. They hurriedly called for their companions to pursue, allowing Hua Hua and her fellow Daredevil Squad members to escape unhurriedly. Meanwhile, that teammate took a long detour before successfully rejoining them.
At last, all members of Daredevil Squad had safely exited from the perilous Giant Moth Nest.
As Hua Hua and her squad crossed through one last thicket of foliage and reached Great Tree Hollow at Rebel Alliance's camp safely, Mr. Hummingbird, Captain Goliath, and Ladybug Intelligence Team's Team Leader Cai Yi were already waiting at the cave entrance. Upon seeing everyone return safely with each carrying a full jar of Giant Moth Eggs, it felt as though all of Grass Leaf Forest breathed a sigh of relief. The success of the Insect Egg Plan not only provided strategic advantages for Rebel Alliance but also injected a surge of confidence ahead of their impending decisive battle.
