Chapter 163 How to use artistic conception, the king spine worm in the crater
Hearing Liu Yi’s return, Lin Feng’s eyes flashed with surprise, and then he silently turned his eyes to the side. The black and yellow insect eggs were curled up like Baby-like Shen Jie.
At this moment, the insect egg shell is absorbing the layers of insect beetles that have faded from Shen Jie's body, condensing into a black and yellow hard shell. Compared with the previous white insect eggs, it looks more like a cocoon.
However, whether he can break out of his cocoon and become a butterfly and finally regain a new life depends on Shen Jie's own efforts to break away from the Zerg spiritual world.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and turned his head:
"What happened to these awakened people after they woke up?"
Liu Yi swallowed. What was happening now was even more mysterious than what he had experienced in the underground insect nest, which made him feel uneasy for a moment:
“It’s okay...”
“However, their consciousnesses collectively appeared in the same dream world. According to the descriptions of people who were conscious, the dream world was deserted and there were many second-order ones. The tiger spine insect leads the black spine insect to hunt them down."
"After being killed in the dream, the self-awareness will awaken in the real world."
"Those who killed tiger spine insects among them were in surprisingly good condition after waking up, while those who died without killing them became a little confused and listless..."
"But after a rest, they died. Okay.”
Lin Feng nodded and watched as the first batch of second-level awakeners came out one after another. There were seven or eight of them among the thirty, and their identified data were higher than the others in terms of spiritual attributes. Twenty or thirty points more.
It probably has something to do with killing tiger spine insects in the spiritual world.
And they can unexpectedly appear in the spiritual world of the Zerg that Shen Jie fell into. Perhaps it is the artistic conception of the Zerg, or the characteristics of the field.
A certain kind of spiritual energy, like radiation, invisible and intangible, is continuously spreading outward from Shen Jie, and nearby creatures that are undergoing deep awakening will interact with this artistic energy when their spiritual attributes start to leap. Interweave and become involved.
Lin Feng secretly speculated in his heart, but for the specific situation, he had to ask Chi Yi, the queen of the Zerg clan.
Concerning the research theories on spiritual conception and the field of life in the universe, Zhiyi obviously knows better than him.
However, the other party has not returned yet, and this phenomenon does not cause danger for the time being...
So Lin Feng plans to continue the experiment:
"Let them summarize their experience, inform the next batch of people who are awakened for the second time, and then concentrate on this insect egg..."
"I will protect them personally!"
Liu Yi Diandian Head, in this case, only Lin Feng, as the leader, takes the initiative to stabilize people's hearts.
Soon, the second batch of 30 late-stage first-order awakened people, who were also the first group of veterans to follow Lin Feng, each killed a second-order insect egg and drank the contents inside. After the organic nutrient solution...
Standing neatly among the eggs, looking slightly nervously at the Master Chief in front.
Lin Feng smiled slightly:
"Don't worry, the dream you experienced with Captain Shen Jie is not life-threatening. Even if you die in battle, you will only be mentally depressed for a while, but as long as you kill the tiger spine worms in it, you can get The more you kill, the faster and more you will improve your mental attributes. This is a unique and precious opportunity."
"Especially for those of you who have enhanced your mental strength. Rising can give you an extremely tough will and make you more resistant to mental attacks."
"Take good control of it."
"One last thing, tell Captain Shen Jie. Don’t forget your identity as a human being, his little girlfriend is still here waiting for him.”
After saying that, there was a burst of laughter in the audience.
Lin Feng nodded and motioned for them to lie down next to the killed insect eggs and enter the second deep awakening state.
With the protection of Chi Xuanjia and the Master Chief personally watching over him, there is no doubt about the safety.
But this time, Lin Feng immediately activated his telepathy and concentrated it in a fifty-meter radius. Centered on the black and yellow cocoon where Shen Jie was, he dispersed towards the awakened ones around him.
Sure enough, in the energy radar map displayed in the brain, a very dim energy wave spread out from the cocoon.
Like a magnetic field of high-energy matter, it is endless, and when it comes into contact with thirty high-energy light points nearby, a ripple-like shock wave will be generated.
These traces are actually very weak. If the concentrated sensing range is not narrowed and special observation is done, it would be extremely difficult to detect under normal conditions.
It’s a pity that Lin Feng couldn’t enter it.
Unless he also activates the awakening state now and absorbs the source of the artistic conception of killing the node mother, he will have a chance to enter the same time and space after the two interact.
However, Lin Feng did not intend to take risks.
The soldiers and second-level legion members in front of them are not strong enough to deal with possible crises, such as the elite second-level Zerg that are about to come for support.
In addition, it is already past five o'clock, and the invincible fleet commanded by Chen Yanyan should have arrived long ago, but there has been no sign of it until now.
To be on the safe side, Lin Feng planned to let these soldiers who had started the second level of awakening to test the waters first.
Killing the tiger spine insects in the spiritual world can increase the spiritual attributes, and also allow the reserve forces of these second-order legions to prepare in advance.
The increase in mental attributes represents stronger willpower, which is equally effective against the assimilation of Zerg genes.
If they successfully kill the tiger spine insects, they will become the seed players for future genetic warriors.
It is also the final complete body of the second-order legion.
Absolutely invincible from weapons and equipment to personal strength.
Such an invincible army still has a great advantage even when facing the elite second-tier squads of the Zerg, such as the Pulse War Scorpions, Tank Flame Armor, and the most dangerous samurai hunting insects in the underground insect hive.
So Lin Feng decided to make good use of this opportunity to lay a solid foundation for the birth of the second-level legion in advance.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng opened his eyes, looked at the black and yellow cocoon beside him, and smiled.
It seems that the top biotechnology of the Zerg can be developed and explored in the future, especially in the spiritual field.
When Lin Feng was in the underground insect nest, he thought that Xieyi was so proud of the automatic production line of the second-order tiger spine insects that it was not worthy of the name.
As a mass-produced unit, the tiger spine insect is not perfect, especially the defect of low mental attributes. Although this is also related to the Zerg's demand for war weapons...
But defects are defects. .
The mass production that Lin Feng wanted must be perfect in all aspects at the same time.
A device that can effectively improve mental attribute values is very attractive and creates value.
While Lin Feng stared at the black and yellow worm cocoon, thoughtfully, Shen Jie inside was also trapped in a painful struggle in the spiritual world of the spine worm's artistic conception.
…………
More than a few months have passed since we met those awakened humans.
Although Shen Jie was able to stay awake during this period, he would always fall into a state of disorientation amid the killings. Self-awareness changes back and forth between humans and Zerg, and even gradually tears apart.
Even every time a new insect beetle grew out of the wound on half of his face, Shen Jie would tear it off without hesitation and crush it again.
Use the burning pain to remind yourself that you are a human being, not a bug.
But Shen Jie knew very well that if he continued like this, sooner or later he would become a schizophrenic lunatic. So this time, he set his sights on the central area of the sulfur zone, the volcano that was still billowing thick smoke and constantly releasing dust and magma!
He has already entered the late stage of the second level and has been perfect for a long time...
But from the moment he advanced to the later stage, Shen Jie instinctively felt that there was some kind of terrifying creature hidden in the volcano, one that was ten times or even a hundred times more powerful than the second-order tiger spine worm. Zerg.
Shen Jie guessed that there might be a high-level Zerg hidden there, and killing it might be the only way to get rid of the Zerg spiritual world!
Thinking of this, Shen Jie planned to take this final feat that was like committing suicide while his own sanity still remained and he could stay awake.
After spending a few more days, he eliminated all the tiger spine insects in the sulfur geothermal zone near the volcano. Regardless of the cost of being completely assimilated, he feasted and ate all the high-energy insect meat. .
He forcefully pushed his strength to the peak of the second level, and was in the critical stage from the second to the third level, infinitely close to the high-level Zerg.
If faced with it again, Shen Jie would be confident of fighting the second-order peak tiger spine insect from the underground brood.
At this moment, his body had expanded twice as much.
It is three and a half meters tall, with a pile of giant bone blades with two arms, and is six or seven meters long.
Then, with raging madness in his eyes, Shen Jie sat on hundreds of tiger spine insect corpses. After tearing off half of the insect beetles on his face, his exposed eyes were extremely firm and turned into a cruel streak. The shadow flew towards the crater in the distance.
The base of the entire volcano is several kilometers in diameter, and the smoke-emitting vent at the center of the top is hundreds of meters wide.
This is an extremely active volcano.
It has been in a semi-eruptive state...
Different from the bubbling hot springs in the sulfur zone, the bubbles here are orange liquid magma, and the surging lava heat wave bubbles can Instantly carbonizes organisms.
The temperature nearby is as high as hundreds, and the steaming air is like a surging wave, distorting the space under the refraction of light.
Further down, there is yellow-white poisonous gas, which floats in large quantities from the porous rocks of the volcanic mountain and permeates the mountainside, forming a sinking ring-shaped poisonous miasma.
Ordinary first-level beings, even if they climb to the foot of the volcano, will be directly poisoned by the extremely harsh environment here, let alone being able to set foot in the crater...
The high temperature of Baidu, Just like an air fryer, the flesh and blood is browned before being dehydrated.
At this moment, Shen Jie had arrived halfway down the mountainside and was about to face the thick yellow-white miasma in front of him.
That is sulfur and other substances, which evaporate at high temperatures and form acidic poisonous mist with water vapor.
The pungent smell made Shen Jie feel slightly dizzy.
After closing the mouthparts and the breathing holes in the abdomen, he rushed into it with all his strength.
However, Shen Jie still underestimated the power of the miasma.
These yellow and white poisonous mist are not only highly toxic, but the internal temperature is also not low.
The temperature of the rocks on the surface is as high as hundreds, and the poisonous mist lingering on the mountainside is also heated to 60 or 70 degrees. At the same time, the dust and moisture merge and become extremely viscous.
Shen Jie's forward speed quickly slowed down, and when the beetles on his body came into contact with the poisonous mist, they were corroded by the liquid concentrated sulfuric acid in it.
The most painful thing was the half of the face that he tore open. The thin shell that had not yet condensed into shape was quickly corroded by the poisonous sulfuric acid, exposing the facial muscles and blood vessels inside... …
The subtle burning pain was like a thousand needles piercing his face at the same time, stimulating the induction of every nerve ending. When it was concentrated and fed back to the brain, Shen Jie almost fainted from the pain. In the past...
Once you fall into a coma here, the result will naturally be that you are swallowed by the poisonous miasma, and your whole body will be corroded to the point of leaving no bones before turning into flesh.
Shen Jie gritted his teeth, and the abundant life energy accumulated in his body began to be activated in advance, continuously pouring into every tissue on the body surface, stimulating their proliferation and division, and filling the parts corrupted by the miasma.
After the warmth from his core flowed into his limbs, especially his feet, Shen Jie buried his head and rushed forward...
Finally, after a few minutes, a figure with bumps all over his body rushed forward. Out of this poisonous miasma area hundreds of meters wide...
Shen Jie fell to the ground, feeling the blazing heat coming from the broken insect beetles on his knees and hands to confirm that he was still alive... …
When he gradually calmed down and raised his head to look into the distance, the final destination of the trip was not far away:
The crater was just a hundred meters ahead.
Shen Jie climbed up step by step.
The instinctive fear in my heart becomes stronger with every step closer.
He can feel the high-level Zerg, under the insect armor on the soles of his feet, within the lava at the top of the crater...
The reason that comes from the human part, Shen Jie couldn't believe that there could be terrifying life forms in this world that could endure thousands of degrees of heat.
Even if he has reached the peak of the second level, he can only withstand the high temperature of two to three hundred degrees for a few minutes. No matter how long it takes, this biological insect armor will not be able to withstand the high temperature and will eventually only Burned into a pile of charred shells.
So what kind of existence can feed on magma and live in a volcano! ?
After all the hardships and dangers...
At this moment, Shen Jie is no longer able to fight, but he still has the determination to die and wants to witness with his own eyes the truth of fear lingering in his heart.
Following his footsteps, step by step, he stepped onto the top of the crater. The thick insect beetles on the soles of his feet were burned and fell off layer after layer, and they also grew back layer after layer.
It wasn’t until more than a minute later that Shen Jie climbed to the top of this active volcano.
He immediately leaned over and looked down...
I saw that in the oval crater with a diameter of three to four hundred meters, except for the volcanic rock that covered the edge and had cooled to several hundred degrees, the inside was completely filled with black and yellow molten material. The slurry formed a 300-meter-wide magma pool.
On the other side, farther away, from the mouth of the mountaintop that has been continuously eroded and collapsed by magma, billowing gray-black smoke and countless volcanic ash float into the atmosphere, where they last for years and months until they completely cover the entire planet.
Shen Jie took a deep breath. Once here, the instinctive fear from his heart was no longer so strong.
But there is no stopping him from his determination to challenge!
I saw him take a deep breath, and the hot air roasted his throat and lungs, and the burning pain stimulated him...
Using all his strength, he screamed!
This is the provocative sound of tiger spine worms when they are fighting, and it is also the battle signal of spine worms.
And as Shen Jie tried his best to vent his unwillingness, anger, and final powerlessness...
The next moment, in the lava pool of the crater, Suddenly there was a surge, like a boiling pot of water, and even the surface of the earth trembled!
Then a long pale golden leg that was hundreds of meters long, like a sharp knife, emerged from the magma pool...
And stabbed Shen Jie directly at the mountain pass.
The next second, Shen Jie came back to life from where he was.
He tore off his upper clothes and looked at his fair chest, where there was still a burning and tearing feeling faintly coming from him.
"Level 3... King Spiny Worm!!!"
"The intention to kill..."
