Chapter 170 Siege
The instructions for regulating genes issued by the insect nest are transmitted along the carpet to the hatchery.
The unhatched eggs that adhere to the hatchery synchronize their dominant genes according to these instructions.
The workers, which looked stronger, larger, and poisonous than the workers in the "Forest of Rocks", broke open their egg shells and crawled along the fungus carpet toward the surrounding cave entrances.
The 83 lizardman corpses were once again thrown onto the germ carpet next to the insect nest by Ye Xing.
The busy insect nest shook the tentacles in front of his forehead to say hello to Ye Xing and express his gratitude.
"Coro's underground world is very unstable. These lizard people seem to be very hostile to insects."
Ye Xing came to the top of the insect nest and sat down cross-legged, reaching out to its tentacles to convey a huge message.
"This is the information I detected about the underground area of the Dark Night Forest.
Among them, the most important thing to pay attention to is the lizardman tribe. There are many of them and they are scattered in every corner of the underground world.
There are countless maze-like underground tunnels connecting each lizardman tribe.
If they come from surface creatures, they can easily get lost in underground tunnels.
Even without the lizard people taking action themselves, those surface creatures will be trapped and die underground due to lack of food, water and other reasons.
Another thing worth noting is that the insects in the underground world are a bit too abnormal in size and do not seem to have evolved naturally. ”
The insect nest nodded while controlling the flesh and blood furnace and refining the essence of the lizardman.
"Master, the creep has also reported to me that there are special substances in those centipedes that are difficult for them to absorb.
It is the existence of this special substance that prompts centipedes to mutate.
However, I have collected mutation data. Once the benign mutations stabilize, the hatchery will be able to hatch worker insects that are adapted to the specialization of the "Coro" world on a large scale. ”
Ye Xing thought for a while and asked worriedly, "What about the attacking unit?"
"Master, in this regard, I plan to make targeted production based on the enemies I face each time.
Using worker insects to show the enemy's weakness at the right time can buy me time to build an army. ”
The Hive obviously has its own plan of action.
Ye Xing breathed a sigh of relief, patted its head, and suppressed the worry in his heart.
"Then I'll leave it to the insect nest here for you to do whatever you want."
The insect nest swings its tentacles and bids farewell to the Heavenly Father who enters the passage of time and space.
The "King's Gate" opened again, and Ye Xing stepped out as a giant and came to the bloody wilderness where ghouls, giants, and rat-men gathered.
After feeling his aura, the Ghoul King controlled the corpse of the demon giant "An" to appear.
He invited Ye Xing to join him in breaking down the city wall blocking the frontier of the bloody wilderness.
The barren bloody wilderness is not suitable for the living to survive for a long time.
The food carried by the Ratmen was only enough for them to survive for 5 days.
Although he was mentally prepared, Ye Xing still felt a little unhappy because he was used as a knife.
However, there is nothing we can do about it.
Mordiggian, whose projection power is infinitely close to the powerful divine power, has been pushed back to the bloody wilderness by the allied forces of heaven several times after breaking through the city wall, not to mention Ye Xing, who has an unstable foundation in the world of Koro.
As the gods of both sides passed down the oracles, the mighty and tidal abyss coalition attacked the city wall.
Recently, the "King's Gate" in the Bloody Wilderness has been frequently opened, causing commotion. The nervous dwarves raised their heads one after another and looked at the shadow-shrouded sky.
The chilling and eerie cold atmosphere made the dwarves feel the approach of death again.
"It's a giant!"
"They appeared again! They are not dead yet!"
The dwarves who were holding brass monoculars and observing the bloody plain jumped up with emotion and shouted warnings to their companions with their rough voices.
"A bunch of cowards! What are you all afraid of!
Only thirty!
This is more than the number of giants I killed in the "Revival" War alone! ”
An old dwarf with a loud voice, a burly body, and a body that could be called a little giant roared, instantly drowning out the discussions of all the dwarves. "Gravel General!"
This old dwarf with a long beard and white hair seems to be very respected by the dwarves.
After his appearance, the chaotic fortress defenders quickly restored their previous order.
Based on their past experience in fighting the ghoul army, the dwarf soldiers methodically set up their muskets and adjusted the artillery behind the battlements.
"Look at those stunted giants, what are they wearing and holding in their hands?
Shield? Spear? And that old-fashioned armor?
The dwarf is laughing so hard!
You still want to use old equipment from 270,000 years ago to attack us?
Guys, it's time for these foolhardy giants to realize that times have changed!
Let these giants abandoned by the times end their lives in blood and gunfire! ”
The old dwarf Gravel, who gave a pre-war mobilization speech, raised the wine bottle he carried and poured it into his mouth.
The wine mixed with stimulants stimulated the old dwarf's body, which was strong on the outside but dry on the inside, and paralyzed the nerve called fear.
With slightly trembling hands, Gravel smashed the wine bottle flat on the ground, as if to shake off the shameful experience of being a slave to a giant.
"Come here, put on your armor for me!
Gotta fuck him! ”
What catered to him were the vulgar shouts of the dwarf soldiers against the ghoul army.
As the ghoul army gradually approached, bursts of thunder sounded in the shadow-shrouded sky.
The rain fell heavily.
The huge will and coercion coming from the thunder came, like the anger from the gods.
The dwarves stationed in the fortress walls felt like the sky was about to collapse.
"Damn!
Why does it rain at such a critical moment!
Wrapping oil paper! ”
Orders from the dwarf herald were passed from level to level within the castle fortress.
Those experienced dwarf veterans had already consciously wrapped a layer of oil paper around the muskets and artillery before the order came.
In the fortress, the heavy roar of the war puppet's activation sounded, taking away the last trace of nervousness in the hearts of the dwarf soldiers.
"The giant has entered the range! Do you want to fire?"
"Wait a minute!"
"The enemy is still three hundred steps away from the city wall!"
"Fire!!"
Boom--
The dark cannon hole hidden behind the wall emits red fire.
Heavy cannonballs flew towards the Frost Giant Ji who was walking at the front of the army at the same time.
The invisible miracle "shelter" only stopped these menacing shells for a moment, and the next moment there was the sound of breaking eggshells.
"Put up your shield! Throw your spear! Then charge!"
Far louder than the voice of the dwarf gravel, the roar of the ancient giant sounded, full of revenge and hatred.
The corpse of the demon giant suspended above the sky suddenly assumed a charging posture after hearing the distant battle cry of the clansmen.
"Oh~
It seems that not only this corpse, but also the living body is very compatible with me! ”
A strange hissing sound sounded in Ye Xing's ears.
Ye Xing ignored the ghoul king's crazy and confused muttering to himself.
He cast his gaze towards the army below.
Together with the Frost Giant Ji who threw his war spear, they locked the steel puppets in the fortress who changed from their kneeling posture to their fighting posture and stood on the ground.
