Chapter 89 Fighting Zerg
Imperial Tomb Mountains.
The earth-fissured cliff where the Evil Eye Tower is located goes to the north.
The huge army composed of countless insects was as densely packed as locusts, spreading all over the earth, advancing towards the location of the Evil Eye Tower at extremely fast speeds.
After discovering the abnormal earth mind evil spirits, they decisively contracted the power of the black tide that was still raging in the Imperial Tomb Mountains, and built a high wall of black mist with the Evil Eye Tower as the center, ready to go out and prepare for the sudden war.
On the high tower, the expression of the evil spirit of Earth Thought looked extremely solemn.
From his perspective, the main body of the Zerg warrior is made of translucent crystals, which appear colorful under the evil moon. Three pairs of wings as thin as cicada wings extend from both sides of the back, covered with energy spiritual patterns, and the eyes Like a pair of rubies, they can change color according to the environment. Through the translucent body, you can see a beating heart-like organ in the middle of the body. Every time it contracts, the spiritual patterns on the body will light up.
The lower limbs are four slender jointed limbs, and the mouthparts are full of sharp teeth, with a pair of tall, erected upper jaws shaped like sickles on both sides.
The insect swarm moves extremely fast and is extremely large in number. Every insect warrior has a cold and murderous aura exuding from its body.
After coming into contact with the terrifying black tide controlled by the evil spirit of Earth Mind, the spiritual patterns on the insect's body light up, and elongated energy threads are spit out from its mouth. The evil black tide that comes into contact with it will be cut off instantly, and then reintegrate into the black tide. .
The war between the insect tide and the black tide heated up the moment they came into contact.
It seems like two wave lines of different colors meet in the center and start a bloody fight.
This scene also happened under the supervision of Qi Sheng's consciousness.
The guide who was always observing the movements of the Evil Eye Tower conveyed the news to him as soon as he discovered the situation.
Through the analysis information of the guide, Qi Sheng obtained the detailed information of the Zerg warriors:
【Crystaloptera (Fighting Zerg)】
Hunting Level: 15
Analytical information: The low-level combat unit of the fighting bugs has the racial talent of swallowing matter and rapidly evolving. It is controlled by the racial "low-level mastermind" unit. It can obtain pheromones by devouring targets in every battle (the mastermind can obtain pheromones through the fighting bug swarm). , thereby adjusting the growth direction of the new insect swarm and evolving combat organs to restrain hostile forces)
……
"There is another new force on the scene, which is interesting. They dare to take the initiative to attack the terrorist black tide."
At the altar of Yuanchu, Qi Sheng was amazed at the scene of fierce battle between the insect swarm and the black tide that appeared in his mind.
After hearing these words, a thoughtful expression appeared on the surface of the guide water polo:
[It is indeed very strong. I suspect that this force called "Zerg" is probably chasing the black tide to kill the monster world, rather than being forced to come to the monster world after the world collapsed like most races. Or he came for revenge after the world collapsed. 】
"What new discoveries have you made?" Qi Sheng looked at the guide and asked curiously.
Facing the inquiry, Guidance's thoughts flashed. The picture in Qi Sheng's mind zoomed in on the swarm of combat insects that were fighting the black tide evil spirit. Then the guidance transformed an arm and pointed at a Crystal Ptera that was torn into pieces by the evil spirit and explained:
[Boss, have you noticed that the bug’s state is a bit abnormal after it dies? 】
Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng glanced at the remains of the Crystal Wings that had been turned into pieces, and then realized the problem:
"The Kuroshio seems to be unable to completely swallow the flesh and blood fragments of the Crystal Ptera, and can only swallow part of the body."
This discovery seemed incredible to Qi Sheng.
The most terrifying characteristic of the Black Tide is its devouring growth. This is not reflected when fighting players, but it is invincible when fighting other life forms.
However, the strongest characteristics of Kuroshio were not fully reflected in the confrontation with the insect swarm.
According to Qi Sheng's understanding of the Black Tide, the normal development should be that the Black Tide Evil Ghost dies and reintegrates into the black mist. It only requires very little energy loss to generate a new Black Tide Evil Ghost and rejoin the battle. During this period, the Zerg fighting against the Evil Ghost When a warrior dies, his flesh and blood will be absorbed and digested by the black mist.
In the end, the Kuroshio formed a snowball-like rapid growth under low losses.
However, during the battle, the evil spirits of the black tide killed the Zerg warriors and could only absorb part of their flesh and blood, unable to completely engulf them.
"These bugs have evolved body structures to prevent the black tide from swallowing them up."
[Yes, these Zerg warriors, or the masterminds behind the Zerg warriors, are obviously not fighting against the Black Tide for the first time. They should have collected enough pheromones in high-frequency battles to evolve a resistance organization with the purpose of restraining the Black Tide. , that is, the crystal-like body structure of Crystal Ptera. This material is difficult to digest at least for low-level Kuroshio, so it can only swallow part of the energy. 】
[One more thing, boss, have you noticed that the Zerg warriors will spray atomized energy particles during the battle, which can prevent the black mist from swallowing up the energy of the evil spirits' death and slowing down the speed of the black tide to regenerate the evil spirits. Therefore, these Zerg warriors are targeting Kuroshio has evolved two restraint organs. 】
"It's interesting. Pull the camera back and take a look."
After Qi Sheng finished speaking, the guide began to lead his consciousness through the swarms of insects all over the mountains and plains, and into the new area to the north of the Imperial Tomb Mountains.
This area is named in the analytical information: Phantom Swamp.
The speed of the line of sight continued to increase, and finally it hovered in front of a creature as huge as a hill.
Analytical information emerges.
[Zerg mastermind (low-level mastermind)]:
Hunting Level: Level 103
Objective introduction: A command unit in the Zerg social ecosystem, with the four major talents of swallowing matter, rapid reproduction, pheromone analysis, and reconstructing life tissues.
……
Above the Zerg mastermind, Qi Sheng also discovered a tiny gap, which was a spatial rift that was about to close.
What is certain is that the Zerg mastermind has just been airdropped here.
What cannot be determined is whether this low-level Zerg mastermind came specifically for the Black Tide or for resources. However, after arriving in this area, he coincidentally sensed the Black Tide's aura and took the initiative to attack the Black Tide.
He didn't think about this question in detail. It didn't matter why.
The Zerg and the Black Tide will both be enemies of the player's legion.
You can see the Zerg near the master brain almost frantically cutting down nearby green plants and stones, and moving all the materials to the master brain for smelting and digestion.
This force's damage to the environment and resources is not weaker than that of the Mechanical Overlord, and the ultimate mastermind behind the Zerg may even be stronger than the Mechanical Overlord.
[Fortunately, the hunting level of the Zerg mastermind that arrived is not particularly high, otherwise it would be very difficult for the current player army to deal with it. 】
Qi Sheng nodded after hearing this.
The arrival of the Zerg was a good thing in his opinion.
Adapting to the player's strength can be used to enhance the player's combat power.
In terms of the ability to devour evolution, players will only be stronger than the Zerg and Black Tide.
The perspective was pulled back at this time, and the fierce war between the Black Tide and the Zerg Swarm continued. During the process, the Black Tide devoured part of the bodies of the Zerg warriors, and its intensity continued to rise.
Through analysis, it can be found that the Zerg is like an experience package for the growth of the Kuroshio, causing the intensity of the Kuroshio to continue to rise.
But that's not important.
The point is that the front line of the Zerg swarm is moving forward, and the evil resistance of the Black Tide cannot stop the steady advance of the Zerg warriors.
This made Qi Sheng realize the true purpose of the Zerg intelligence brain.
The mastermind with advanced intelligence must know that the terrifying Kuroshio will continue to strengthen through devouring during the war, so he has no intention of starting a long and anxious protracted war with the Kuroshio. The core target is always the core of the Kuroshio "Evil Eye Tower" .
It can be understood that this is a quick push tactic used by the Zerg brain.
As long as the Evil Eye Tower is bulldozed, the influence of the Black Tide will be greatly weakened.
This is also the reason why the Zerg brain allowed the black tide to continue to gain devouring and strengthening during the war.
At this time, on the Evil Eye Tower, the Earth Mind Evil Spirit had a gloomy expression.
The terrifying black tide he controlled continued to increase in intensity during the fight with the Zerg warriors, but he also saw the Zerg's true purpose.
Facing the retreating front line, he controlled the black tide and tried to counterattack many times, but was pushed back by the crazy insect tide. If this trend continues, the Zerg army will advance to the Evil Eye Tower.
If the tower is cleared, he will lose the domain nodes below, and his control over the black tide will also be greatly weakened.
It will be difficult to recapture it then.
"Evil Eye, what are the origins of these things."
Facing the inquiry, the evil eye floating behind the evil spirit of Earth Thought opened a gap, and after a long silence, he said:
"According to the information shared with me by other nodes, this force is called the Fighting Zerg. It is one of the most difficult forces that our clan has ever fought against. World wars have broken out with our clan's warriors in multiple worlds, seriously hindering The speed at which our race devours the world has increased.”
"Multiple worlds?" Di Nian Evil Spirit was a little surprised.
"Yes, there are multiple worlds. The strength of the fighting Zerg is far more terrifying than you think. They have the talent to collect pheromones to obtain information about the target's abilities. They can also evolve organs to restrain the abilities of the other race by reconstructing the life structure of their offspring. This It is a destructive force very similar to ours. Our clan has invaded other worlds and has repeatedly discovered that the fighting bugs have begun to eat that world.”
Xie Yan’s explanation made Di Nian Evil Spirit realize the seriousness of the situation:
"So the backlash speed of the black mist has been significantly slowed down, and the inability to completely swallow the bodies of the Zerg dead units is also due to the Zerg's abilities and characteristics."
"Yes, the Zerg in some worlds have evolved body structures to cope with our engulfment and backlash. Although they cannot completely offset the characteristics of the Kuroshio, they have been able to effectively reduce the pressure brought by the Kuroshio to them."
Having said this, the evil eye shifted the macroscopic perspective in the mind of the Earth Mind Evil Spirit to a Crystal Wing that was fighting.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"The body structure with crystal structure, the slow energy spewed... these are all combat abilities created to restrain the characteristics of our clan's black tide. If I guessed correctly, this group of Zerg followed the footsteps of our clan's warriors and actively entered the world of monsters. , maybe even chasing our people into the world of monsters.”
"Pursuit?" Di Nian Evil Spirit was stunned, looking a little unbelievable.
"Yes, our race's process of devouring the world ends with the annihilation of the world, and then the warriors who participated in this devouring war are redistributed to different worlds, but the Zerg are completely different. Their desire to fight is extremely high, and the end in their eyes represents No life exists.”
"Is there any difference?" Di Nian Evil Spirit asked doubtfully.
"Completely different. For example, after the black tide released by our clan completely swallowed up the Purple Rain World, many powerful beings in the Purple Rain World escaped to other worlds by tearing apart space. Our clan ignored this and did not want to waste it. Time is spent on a meaningless pursuit. Devouring the world is the ultimate goal of our tribe. It is extremely stupid in the eyes of our tribe to waste excess power on pursuit.”
"But the fighting bugs are different. They will devour all life. If they find that there is life in the devoured world and escape to another world, they will not hesitate to launch a cross-world pursuit."
"Similar events have occurred in other worlds where our clan and the fighting Zerg have fought against each other. The black tide released by our clan has swallowed up that world completely. We are no longer willing to pay attention to the entanglement of the fighting Zerg, but the fighting Zerg are not willing to let our warriors leave. , launched a continuous pursuit, and were eventually wiped out by our clan in another world.”
"It is certain that the female bugs behind the fighting bugs are very smart and have extremely high intelligence levels, but their bloodthirsty instinct often makes them do stupid things."
"Now, the Zerg have followed our footsteps and come to the monster world. We want to completely devour the monster world and we are facing a new challenge. We hope that the supreme being behind the Zerg never comes, otherwise our process of devouring the monster world will be seriously hindered."
Xie Yan's explanation made Di Nian Xie Ling's scalp numb.
The existence of the "Emperor Sign", the creator of the monster world, who can compete with "my lord", already makes him incredible.
Unexpectedly, there is now a new force called the "Fighting Zerg" that is at war with the terrifying black tide in multiple worlds.
"This world... is too scary."
"I was born in the world of monsters and have never been to other worlds conquered by my clan. However, according to the information shared with me by other nodes, this world is far more difficult to conquer than the worlds that Evil Eye has been to in other nodes. It cannot be said that it is the strongest. However, all forces are extremely difficult to deal with, which is why our clan has never been able to devour the monster world.”
Having said this, Xie Yan paused:
"Based on the current situation, our race's process of devouring the monster world has been severely limited, and progress is getting slower and slower. It may be necessary to allocate new power from the main world and other worlds to enter the monster world."
After hearing Xie Yan’s explanation, Di Nian Xie Ling’s doubts deepened:
"Since this world is so important, why didn't we send warriors from the main world to join the battle when we first discovered this world?"
Faced with the inquiry, Evil Eye fell silent and began to read the information transmitted by other nodes.
After a long time, Xieyan said:
"In fact, when our clan first entered this world, we realized that this world could not be easily swallowed up, so we mobilized the demon-god-level forces of the main world to join the war."
"Demon level?" Di Nian Evil Spirit was startled and asked quickly:
"So where are the demon gods? Where have they gone?" When mentioning the word demon god, Di Nian Evil Spirit spoke in a respectful tone. This was respect from the bottom of his heart.
"Without exception, all died in battle."
At this moment, the eyes of the evil spirit of Earth Thought were dull, and the consciousness that was still controlling the black tide in the battle relaxed for a few seconds.
Fortunately, he woke up in time and continued to control the black tide, and then turned to look at the evil eye:
"All dead?"
"I can answer you with certainty, they will all die in battle, without exception."
The eyes of the evil spirit of Di Nian flashed red, suppressing the surging emotions, and continued to ask in a deep voice:
"I want to know the details of the war."
"I did not participate in the battle, and the other nodes I can connect to have not participated in this catastrophic battle. I cannot provide detailed information on the direction of the war. I only know that all the node auxiliaries and our soldiers who participated in that war were killed...and this The opponent in the first battle was the rule-level god of the monster world. In the end, we were defeated. No warrior could return, and the rule-level god of the monster world disappeared and has not appeared for thousands of years."
The information provided by the evil eye makes the evil spirits of the earth tremble with fear.
As a commander-level warrior, he had participated in two small world-level battles and thought he had seen many powerful beings.
But in the world of monsters, the power in his eyes can be described as childish and ridiculous.
With his commander-level combat power and the Black Tide assisted by Evil Eye, he couldn't even take over an area. He was suppressed by the Wan family and killed endlessly.
I thought it was because of my bad luck. The place I landed happened to be blocked by a similarly invading force, which limited my expansion.
But I didn't expect that the wider world of monsters has more unimaginable opponents.
The Wan family he encountered was not even a threat. At least the evil eyes from other nodes had never fought against this force. This proved that the Wan family was a small force that had only invaded this area. On the larger war stage, Never appeared.
Recalling the story of Evil Eye, all the "Demon Gods", the core combat power of the Kuroshio who came to the monster world, were killed in battle.
He couldn't imagine the intensity of that battle.
Perhaps the aftermath of the battle can easily crush a large number of small worlds.
"Concentrate on fighting, don't think too much, your growth has just begun, don't fall down here."
Hearing the reminder from the evil eye, the evil spirit of Earth Mind forced himself into a state of concentration and began to control the black tide to counterattack the front line where the insect swarm was still advancing.
The brutal fighting continued, with the Zerg warriors risking their lives to open up a path forward.
In order to block the advancement of the Zerg warriors, the Earth Mind Evil Spirit was forced to shrink back the black tide forces from other directions and concentrate all its combat power on the main battle line in front of the Evil Eye Tower.
Faced with the threat of the Evil Eye Tower being dismantled, Di Nian Evil Spirit, as the commander, even had the idea of participating in the battle himself.
However, his idea was blocked by Evil Eye, who said that commanding warriors should not participate in the battle unless it was a last resort. This would seriously affect Kuroshio's combat effectiveness and make Kuroshio's attack chaotic and disorderly.
……
other side.
After listening to the conversation between the evil spirit of Earth Thought and the evil eye, Qi Sheng turned to look at the guide floating beside him:
"Fighting against the devil? Is there such a thing?"
[Of course, I remember telling you about the scene after you first inherited the origin of Emperor Zhao Guwo. 】
"I just came to the monster world at that time. I was young and didn't like class. I didn't listen carefully and forgot about it... Now let's talk about it in detail."
[The situation is like this. A group of big men in the terrorist underworld who control world-class rules are carrying machetes and threatening to hack our four brothers to death. Can we bear this? When we heard the news, the four brothers were so angry that they picked up the ax and prepared to fight back. I rushed forward immediately and dropped the knife with my hand. Guess what? He hacked two demons to death at once. He turned around and saw that my brother Yan Ming hacked two more to death with one move of Wangzhong Yue. Then he looked at my sister Chaowei, dancing like a tiger with two big hammers. A group of demon masters were approaching. I couldn't get out of my body, and the battle was so bloody that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. The sun and the moon were dim, and I was almost exhausted from the cutting. I have never been so tired in my life... But we can't do it without fighting. These grandsons are trying to kill us and threaten to tear down our home, so we must not be cowardly, right? , we must fight them to the end... 】
In the simplified plot narration that is easy to understand, Qi Sheng felt the veins on his forehead beating.
