Chapter 149 Hive Mind and the Origin of Creep
In the underground passage.
‘Click~’
In the passage where a large number of slaves gathered together, when the tunnel suddenly shattered, five types of modified scarabs emerged from the earth wall.
These scarabs are like a tide, stacked on top of each other, and extremely fierce. Each scarab is somewhat rounded, and its carapace is golden, resembling little suns.
It has become completely different from the original scarab in Bugspell Valley.
They eat everything.
Whether it's creatures, steel, or magic!
A large number of slaves in the dungeon were immediately covered by these scarabs.
The Drow warrior hiding on the mountain in another passage saw this scene and his eyes widened. Only then did he realize that the troops that were all over the passage and constantly attacking his army were not surface human troops.
Not even a troop.
But these swarms of scarabs.
At this time, the three hundred slaves from the underground world who were gathered in the passage did not even have the ability to resist. Each one of them was overwhelmed by this huge swarm of insects.
The drow warriors on the mountain were a little confused. "What on earth are these? Even outside the wilderness where the main city of Rye is located, there are no such ferocious bugs."
"Is the surface of the earth much worse than we imagined, with similar ferocious bugs everywhere?"
"No wonder there weren't any corpses left in our troops before. It turns out they were all eaten up."
"If the surface world is so scary, then we...do we still need to go up?"
"I feel like these bugs are scary, threatening creatures that exist deep in the underground world."
The drow warrior swallowed his saliva on the mountain, "Oh my God, if these bugs on the surface are allowed to follow the passage and enter the underground surface where the main city of Rye is located, then our main city will be... very unlucky."
"Molly Wood, you lead the Salamander troops and go up to stop those bugs."
The fire dragon female lizard man suddenly screamed in dissatisfaction. "Me? Sir, do you want me to bring people up?"
The drow warrior pulled out the drow katana he carried on the mountain. "Otherwise, and I didn't ask you to come, it's the group of terrible insects that have eaten up those useless slaves and are targeting us."
"Oh my God. Is the natural world on the surface so terrible? How can these bugs exist in nature?"
The fire dragon female lizard man looked up and was horrified to find that the scarab swarm had discovered them, and many modified scarabs had already flown towards them.
The salamanders immediately took their weapons one by one and attacked the insects.
They are the troops directly under the Arcanist. They are creatures that have been transformed by the Arcanist's mistress, so they can use some spell-like abilities.
At this moment, fifty fire dragon lizardmen spit out flames from their mouths at the modified scarabs in front of them, and square cone-shaped flames suddenly covered the sky above the insect swarm.
Many scarabs could not bear the high temperature flames and fell to the ground.
The Tank Scarab ran to the front of the underground passage, trying to withstand the fire vomiting of the Salamanders, but was still scorched by the flames.
The insect swarm suffered serious casualties!
The terraformed scarab swarm seemed furious.
Something is being born among the insects.
Sunan, who was riding in a carriage, felt the direction that was about to evolve due to collective anger through the reactions of these scarabs that were connected to the wolf pack effect.
Sunan raised his brows and stroked the carriage. Infected by the anger of the scarabs, the heads of Lang Da and Lang Er were also grinning and howling at the enemies who were not here.
Sunan said: "Okay, okay, be quiet."
"It seems that the hive consciousness of scarabs can be cultivated. The experiment went more smoothly than I imagined."
"Because of the damage done to my scarab swarm by the army of the underground world, the scarab beetle swarm with super fecundity began to move in the direction I expected."
"Speaking of which, the drow have done a pretty good job. Then keep working hard and raise a swarm of insects for me."
In the underground passage, just when the Drow Warrior Mountain was about to smile with satisfaction, he saw a group of scarabs with ferocious bone spurs coming to the front of the insect swarm, holding up the flames spit out by the fire dragon lizard people, Start firing bone spurs at the Lizardmen troops.
Suddenly, the throats of many Salamander Lizardmen were pierced by bone spurs.
One by one, the Salamander Lizardmen fell to the ground.
The faces of the drow warriors on the mountain are ugly. These fire dragon lizardmen are precious Rye City soldiers who must be transformed by the arcanist's acquired mana.
If one dies, one is missing.
I originally thought that at least one or two people would die on the surface, but who knew that there would be countless casualties underground.
At the same time, the magma scarabs also climbed to the top of the channel, spitting lava flows directly below, and some self-destructed, killing the salamanders one after another.
At the same time, the modified scarabs swarmed into the middle of the Salamander Lizardmen troops and started another devouring process.
Half an hour later, the drow warrior used the enchanted dark energy katana in his hand, and together with his lover, destroyed all the scarab swarms head-on.
But there were very few of his troops left, and only a few Salamanders were left alive.
The defeated group of transformation scarabs, under the control of Sunan, temporarily left and then began to develop again. An ambush by the drow warriors of the underworld wiped out his own troops, as well as most of the swarm's recently bred troops.
But the problem is that the most terrifying thing about the insect swarm is that they are connected by Sunan to the sun and have strong reproductive power transformed by Sunan using magic.
This is something that the drow warriors cannot realize because their own knowledge is limited.
Otherwise, he would quickly realize that even if placed in the deeper underground world, the insect swarm is a supermodel magical creation with huge potential.
This proves how powerful the magic power of the wizard behind these bugs is, and how powerful his hidden ingenuity is.
He would realize how foolish it was to place the entrance to the surface where it is now.
And just one day later, the drow warriors, who thought they had won the war, believed that the conspiracy of the surface people was over, and could safely reach the surface world, gathered the remaining lizardmen troops again, and led the troops again. , just arrived at the underground tunnel in yesterday's battlefield area, there was a sudden roar.
Because, now, the same insect swarms as yesterday appeared inside these passages. Although the number is not that large, at least hundreds of modified scarabs have gathered.
Moreover, their appearance seems to have changed a bit.
The drow warrior on the mountain suddenly realized that the insect swarm blocking his way to the surface was not a group of monsters that could be easily crossed, but a group of powerful obstacles.
With his ability, can he fight his way out in front of this swarm of insects?
In other words, this group of insects will not follow their route and directly invade the dungeon, right?
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Sunan, who was a hundred miles away, had entered the Earldom of Samori and saw the dilapidated villages in the Earldom, filled with beggars, robbers and the crazy Storm Lord's army.
Sunan thought about it. "It has now been proven that the races in the underground world are all races transformed by wizards."
"In other words, the main research direction of those underground refuge sects at the beginning was probably the school of summoning, or the school of monster transformation among the schools of magic."
"And the so-called superior race in the underground main city should be a monster army that has been relatively successfully transformed."
"But that drow warrior used a dark energy enchantment spell once. The intensity is probably similar to the spell intensity of a second-class wizard apprentice. His mental power is also 4, which is several times stronger than ordinary humans."
< br>
"But he only used the spell once and was out of breath from exhaustion. He was probably just a servant monster transformed by the wizard with the ability to cast spells."
"Then the question is, are the so-called arcane masters in the underground world also a caster race transformed by wizards? It's just that the previous batch of wizards got out of hand, so these arcane masters - or rather He was stabbed in the back by the drow."
"In other words, arcane magic is really a new category of magic. Things in the underground world are more complicated and special than I expected."
"After all, this underground world is a world created by a group of wizards. It seems that only by going down there can we know the truth."
Sunan decided to actually go underground in the future to figure out these problems, and also to find the veins of ether ore, which would steadily improve his mental power.
It would be best to capture a few more drow warriors, and even capture the drow matron, Rye Matron. In this way, you can ask a lot of things clearly, and you can also study the so-called arcane magic.
In addition, because his own insect swarm devoured the glowing moss placed in the tunnel in the underground world, some of the female scarab beetle swarms began to secrete a special fungus-like substance.
On this fungus, the scarab swarm's movement speed, attack speed, and aggressiveness will increase again.
Sunan decided to use magic potions to stabilize the ability of some female worms in the swarm to secrete these special fungal substances when they return.
And now let the drow warrior help him iterate the swarm. If they are not capable enough, in order to protect the safety of the ground and conduct experiments themselves, they will have no choice but to push the insect swarm deeper underground.
Although this is no longer defense, but active invasion.
However, the underground can invade the surface, and the surface can also invade the underground.
Gaining some additional territory and controlling an abnormally developed wizard society would be a good thing for myself.
The abnormally developed underground wizard society must also have a large amount of wizard information, but it is simply not comparable to the orthodox wizard society.
At the same time, in the Earl of Samori, a refugee was holding a little girl and knocking on his carriage feebly. "Please, sir, give my daughter some food."
"Sir, please give us some charity."
"We haven't eaten in three days."
"My lord..."
Vasilian has condensed the black sword. After all, his first duty is to protect Sunan, not anything else. If there are enemies among these refugees, it will be his biggest dereliction of duty.
But Sunan stopped him, "Vasilian, just give them some food."
"Also. You guys can go in the direction of Peter's Territory in the north. The order there is stable, and as long as you are willing to work, you will always have a way to survive."
Population is also a kind of wealth.
Only when there is a population will there be an economy.
The Earl of Samori doesn't care about these people, so he accepts them, which is not bad.
The refugees outside the carriage immediately began to be grateful to Sunan and began to discuss whether they should really go north to find a place to live.
Sunan raised his eyebrows, not expecting that the Earl of Samori had reached this level.
You know, the Earl of Samori probably also has an entrance to the underground world, and the main city of Rye will also invade here.
Although he didn't know whether the underground world's sudden invasion of the Storm Kingdom had anything to do with the Supreme Order, Sunan noticed that the Supreme Order seemed to really want to completely destroy the Storm Kingdom.
