Chapter 87 Worm to Worm
Chapter 87: Insect vs. Insects
"What happened again?"
"A large group of strange creatures appeared here. You can wait for me for a while and I'll see if there is any threat."
"Then hurry up, this giant rock guard has strong recovery ability. He will be completely demobilized later!"
"I'll do it as soon as possible."
The most annoying thing about the world's melee is that there are too many battlefields. Our guild is already big and we have to take care of it without any boundaries. It's really hard to get a clone. After hanging up the connection between roses, I quickly took off from the city wall and flew towards the newly emerging enemy community. Just now, the British and French coalition forces suddenly changed their formation on the battlefield in Europe, and all the attacking troops retreated like a tide, replaced by a brand new type of troops. However, this did not cause me too much bribes because there were a lot of these types of troops. Generally speaking, the number of advanced types is limited, so if you see a large group of certain creatures at the same time, it can only mean that this thing is not very capable. However, today's law may need to be modified slightly, because I saw the creature that surprised me the most.
"Corpse worm?"
I stopped before I could fly to the enemy's head. The rotten smell in the air forced me to stop in advance. In fact, I could clearly see the enemies below at this distance, but their image was very scary. Those moving forward were not new species, but the corpses of enemies who had just died. These corpses did not turn into zombies, nor were they rotten skeletons, but real corpses. There was no difference between these walking corpses and ordinary corpses. They were real dead people, the difference was that there was a group of black worms like roundworms on their bodies. These disgusting insects kept drilling in and out of the corpses and drove the corpses forward.
Compared with general loss, the corpse controlled by corpses is much worse in terms of attack power and defense. The only advantage is that the speed is slightly faster, but the overall combat power is still far lower than that of ordinary zombies. However, the problem is not the corpses, but these bugs. Although these little things are known as the lowest level of monsters in the underworld, no one dares to get close to these guys even there. The main reason is the number.
When you fight a corpse controlled by a corpse worm, what you have to worry about is not what it is like to be the corpse, but what happens to be the corpse worm when you knock down the corpse. Generally speaking, when you defeat the corpse controlled by the corpse worm, the corpse worm will explode. The explosion is not very powerful, but the flesh sprayed out will have strong corpse poison, and it will be very troublesome to get a little bit. The ultimate purpose of this explosion is not to spray you with smelly flesh and blood and disgust you. The real terrible thing about it is that the corpse worm will be sprayed everywhere with the explosion. In the end, they will cover all objects within a radius of thirty meters and immediately find the nearest occupable flesh and blood body and drill in. You should know that the corpse worm has parasitized once after the corpse explosion.
At that time, they will gain the ability to directly send living bodies, so even if you are not dead, they can penetrate your body and eat your body and soul and eventually turn you into zombies. And as the number of creatures they parasitize will increase, these guys will continue to evolve. The strongest corpse worm recorded has parasitized more than 30,000 creatures, and it seems that they were scattered by people with magic crystal cannons. Anyway, as long as this thing does not die, it can continue to evolve, and no one knows how much it can evolve. Some people have also speculated that if the corpse worm continues to evolve, it may become the strongest creature in the game, but generally no one believes it, and the requirements for evolution of this thing are getting higher and higher, so it is unlikely that corpse worms will evolve to that level.
No matter what, it is indeed a trouble for us to get so many corpse insects. Although I am not afraid of these things, most of our players and NPCs have no way to use this thing. Although they can get a high battle loss ratio with their sticks, their number is already so high that they don’t take the number seriously, so even if one hundred people die, they will lose money. Moreover, the corpse insect has a super annoying habit of splitting and reproduction. A corpse insect parasitizes into a living organism. When the corpse explosion occurs, it will be at least one or two thousand corpse insects. The reproduction speed is definitely even more terrible than the locust. It can be said that as long as the corpse is enough, the corpse insect will not die.
Before the other party could climb under the city wall, I quickly flew back to the city wall. Asu Fude saw me, he immediately came up to ask what I saw.
"Corpse insects. All are corpses controlled by corpse insects."
"Corpse worm?" Asu Fude was stunned for a moment. "Isn't that thing not to be domesticated? I haven't heard anyone who can command corpse worms except for being a demon pet, but how many people do so many corpse worms need to be enough to subdue? Even a person like you can't bring many corpse worms. It's almost the same if everyone on the other side uses corpse worms as corpse pets. But that's impossible."
I also nodded and said, "Although corpse insects can evolve, the characteristics of corpse insects determine that corpse insects can only be used when the corpse is sufficient. This is almost useless in general leveling and PK states. In other words, unless it is a battlefield like a guild war that can create a large number of corpses, players carrying corpse insects as magic pets are almost useless. Imagine how ordinary people might want such a magic pet? Moreover, the first-level corpse insects are useless at all, so the process of their evolution is not that simple. Who has time to take a corpse insect to level up? Besides, even if some guilds send special people to practice a corpse insect? This thing has almost no attack power before level 800, and even if it is practiced, it is nothing more than a stronger magic pet in guise battles. But what? Is the input and output completely disproportionate? Unless...!"
"Unless what?" Ashufude asked nervously.
"Unless someone trained a corpse worm that can command other corpse worms. His own corpse worm does not need to be at a high level, just be enough to live in other corpse worms."
Asu Fude instantly understood the path, which was very simple to say. "Zero" is a game where there are no rules except for big rules. The things here never make any rules. You can find rules but there are no rules, especially things that have variable factors. The evolution of corpse insects is a typical unstable evolution here, and their development direction is random, which means that the same few corpse insects will evolve to level up together and finally evolve into completely different abilities. For example, the corpse insect that was bombarded by the magic crystal race mentioned earlier is the development direction of its own combat power. If a player creates a corpse insect that specializes in evolving control of other corpse insects, it is hard to say.
Although we confirmed the source of the corpse worm, we still could not conduct effective attacks. The previous battle left too many corpses on the battlefield. With the characteristics of the corpse worm, they are almost invincible in the current environment. Even if we can use magic and cannons to eliminate some of them, it will not change much. In desperation, I had to contact Rose to tell her that I couldn't get through and asked her to find other animal trainers to try it first. Who knew that Rose and I told me that there was a way to deal with it as soon as we told me.
Asu Fude heard that there was a way, he hurried over and asked, "What's the solution?"
"Do you still remember Nuwa's gift?" Rose asked me.
I thought for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "You mean the queen?"
"That's right. You haven't been to see the Queen for a long time. I don't know how her younger brothers are developing now, right? Tell you that I've just been there, and it will definitely scare you."
"But aren't all the newly created Zergs near the Gang City? How do I come here? The enemy has already arrived at the city, so it's probably too late to mobilize troops now?"
"So. Listen to me, I will summon you first, and then I will take you away, and I will ensure that I can catch up with the enemy to attack the city."
When Ashufude heard Rose’s statement, he immediately pushed me and said, “Hurry up! When those disgusting insects crawl under the city wall, we will be finished!”
"Okay!" As soon as I finished speaking, a circle of pink magic teleportation array flashed around me, followed by a heart-shaped magic array and I immediately disappeared from the spot. When I appeared beside Rose, I happened to see a group of people cutting down the huge stone mountain on the ground. "What are they doing?"
"This is the giant rock guard, it's to prevent him from healing his wounds quickly and then getting up. You can help get it done first."
"Oh." I reached out to throw out a capture skill, and I succeeded in one go. This guy is now in a dying state, and the summoning success rate is high. With my super lucky value and charm index, it is naturally very simple. After watching the small stone mountain turn into a yellow stone, I stretched out my hand from afar, and the stone flew into my hand. "Okay, what should I do now?"
"Give me this first." Rose took the stone man's magic pet egg and hugged me and said, "Take me to Union City." I turned the teleportation ring and appeared directly on the main teleportation array of Union City. Rose continued without stopping: "Use the transnational teleportation array to go to Steel City."
"Understand." We quickly changed the teleportation array and sent me back to the Gangcheng, and followed the rose to the ground part of the Gangcheng. To be honest, as soon as I left the underground exit, I was immediately frightened by the scene in front of me. Gangcheng was originally an underground city under a sand dune deep in the desert. Although we developed the ground part later, overall, Gangcheng is still a sand city in the center of the desert, but the scene in front of me is completely a tropical primeval forest. Huge trees are everywhere in your sight, dense branches cover the entire sky above our heads, and giant snake-like vines droop down from the branches, and there are a large number of unknown fruits hanging in between. Even our feet are covered by a layer of soft moss substances. It can be said that there is nothing nearby except heat. "Damn, how did this look here?"
"Isn't it all caused by Nuwa's gifts!" Rose explained: "Nuwa is the god of life. Her specialty is to manipulate life. As a result, your queen developed the Zerg system after receiving some of the gifts. At first, it was just a few disgusting biological buildings, but then it began to gradually produce various small animals and plants. Now a huge biological system has been basically developed. The high temperature and super sunlight in the desert bring powerful energy, which are the basis for the development of Zerg. These plants absorb solar energy into biological energy, small insects eat plants to reproduce, and then medium-sized organisms eat these small insects, large animals eat medium-sized organisms, and finally those creatures used for combat eat large organisms, which form an energy chain, and eventually the solar energy is converted into a large number of combat creatures. If it weren't for Nuwa's ability, I wouldn't have imagined that such a large primitive forest could be created in the desert area!"
I said: "In fact, there is no shortage of water in the desert area, and all plants need is light and moisture. The desert cannot preserve water, so it is difficult to grow plants. Nuwa has nothing but created a plant that can grow quickly and store water by itself. By the way, how large is this forest now?"
Rose said: "In fact, this forest only appeared three days ago. Before that, the queen had been familiar with the real power of Nuwa's gift. Then when she understood the power, these things were born within three days. In fact, this forest is still expanding now, and its edge is not far from the edge of the desert."
"Stop now."
"It's useless to shout to me! Let's go find the queen, she is the basis for controlling these things."
"Okay, let's go right now."
Today, this forest has given me a lot of excitement. Not only does it appear too quickly, but even the queen becomes very strange. When I saw her, she turned into a big tree, revealing only half of her body on the trunk, as if her lower body grew into the trunk. After asking, I realized that this forest is not a forest at all, they are actually the queen's body. Every plant in this forest is equivalent to a cell of the queen, and the creatures living in the forest are her children or parasites.
Although the queen in this form has lost her ability to move, she is definitely the strongest in her guild in terms of vitality. No one can say that she can uproot such a large forest, and as long as there is still a part of the queen can breed again. However, due to the limitations of the nervous system, she can only grow so big at most, and it is impossible for the forest to expand infinitely. However, despite this, I was still a step late because I originally wanted to let the forest be a little far away from the edge of the desert, at least not let people outside know that the desert has become a forest, but according to the queen herself, the edge of the forest has already extended outside the desert. Although it has stopped growing, the forest has actually reached the wall of the player's city at the edge of the desert. If it grows a few hundred meters, it will enter the city. If this thing grows a little more than I hoped to keep it secret, then the large area is there, and the blind man can see it!
After briefly listening to the Queen's description of her current situation, I told her about the current situation. Although the Queen cannot follow me everywhere in the form of a parasitic body, she can communicate with me from anywhere in the world through her mind, and she can command her children remotely or directly ask me to command these little bugs. For this incident, the Queen just gave me a very special bug and asked me to take it to the front of the city wall, and she will do it all afterwards.
Although I am not sure how strong the Queen is now, I believe that Nuwa's gift is not too simple, so I indirectly believe that the Queen should be able to deal with such things. Besides, time is not urgent, so I can only return to Iron Cross City first. When Ashufude saw me appear, he was almost crazy. Although the cannons on the city wall have recovered their ability to intensive shooting after changing the power core, their blocking effect on the corpse worm is minimal. The corpse worm can use quantity to fill all the opponent's advantages, and the losses caused by artillery fire are not considered a loss to them at all.
"Have you found a solution?" Ashufud grabbed me and asked.
"It's up to it." I threw the little bug in my hand outside the city wall. The spherical little bug that was not much bigger than an apple fell straight into the land outside the city wall, and then there was no sound.
"Is this your solution?" Ashufude asked looking at me.
I was about to explain that I suddenly felt the ground under my feet seemed to be vibrating, and the tremor became more and more obvious. Soon even Ashufude noticed this obvious change. We quickly ran to the city wall and looked down. We saw that the place where the little bug fell to the ground was gradually bulging, and the ground was indeed vibrating. With the increasing vibration, a small mound gradually appeared on the ground. Then, when the mound rose to more than one meter high, the top suddenly exploded. As everyone heard a rustling sound, countless black beetles rushed out from the top of the mound like blowouts.
"Is this thing your reinforcement?" Ashufude asked me in confusion. "Are you planning to use insects to control insects?"
"I'm not sure, let's see what's going on first."
The black beetles on the ground erupted faster and faster. The hole, which was originally the size of a spring, was torn into a hole larger than the sewer manhole cover by the insects, and the hole was gradually expanding at a faster speed. The black beetles that rushed out of the hole quickly rushed towards the army of corpse insects in front. Looking from us, we could only see a black torrent that quickly faced the colorful army of corpse insects in front. When the two Zerg armies collided together, there was no fierce battle, but the scene still saw many players almost vomiting.
As soon as the corpse manipulated by the corpse worm touches the black beetle, it waves its weapons to chop the black beetles in front of it. However, the number of beetles is similar to that of the corpse worms, and the size of these corpses is not suitable for attacking these small beetles that are less than the size of a palm, so the effect can be said to be minimal. However, on the other hand, the target of the small beetles is not the manipulated corpse. In fact, they hardly attack the corpse. Instead, the moment they touch the corpse, they bit out a passage from the eyes, ears, mouth and other weak points of the corpse, and drilled into the inside of the corpse. Following everyone, they saw the corpse being drilled in a strange break-dance on the spot as if it was electrocuted. This strange convulsion lasted for about a few dozen seconds before the corpse began to become
The film falls down, and then a large number of black beetles drill out of the corpse and start moving towards the next target. It is certainly not possible to deal with these corpses that will explode. However, the black beetles directly attack the corpse insects, which determines that the problems that players cannot solve are nothing to them. The corpse insects are like a flock of sheep hitting a lion in front of these black beetles. We only see a large piece of black like locusts passing through the border and all the corpse bodies are knocked down. This process actually happens very quickly. You can almost see the black forward pushing forward at the speed of human running. The corpse insects behind even begin to hesitate whether to rush forward. Although these corpse insects with low intelligence cannot think about too complicated things, their perception of danger is still OK.
Ashufude watched our beetles go invincible and excitedly circling around me. "Zi Ri, where did you get these bugs? It's so awesome!"
I coughed lightly and said, "In fact, these should be considered my summoned creatures."
"What?" Asu Fude was stunned for a moment. "Is all these?"
"No, their mother is my parasite. I can command their mother, and their mother can teleport them anywhere. The premise is that I have to carry the kind of bug that I just threw out. That thing is actually a teleporting bug, which can open a space teleportation channel between me and the mother. The advantage is that it can be activated anytime and anywhere, and does not consume any extra energy. The disadvantage is that it cannot get through anything except the bug, so I can't use it to transport troops."
"Worms are not soldiers? These things are so fast that I guess they can't survive much, right?"
"According to my understanding, their intelligence is relatively poor, so their mother cannot accurately control their behavior and can only roughly set a range. If people are targeted, they may become like that in the end." I pointed to a skeleton under the city wall.
"It's so scary!"
Ashufude and I lamented that the insects were powerful, while the black beetles had swept away most of the corpse insects. Because all the attack methods of the corpse insects were almost ineffective against the black beetles, the battle was basically a one-sided massacre, or the black beetles were having a dinner party. Anyway, the corpse insects had no power to fight back. However, just as the battle was about to end, a large burrow suddenly bulged in the corpse insect's position, followed by a bang.
The land as big as half a basketball court flew into the air, and then a huge fat bug like a mountain tunnel drilled out from the ground. This thing has a yellowish outer skin and a short and thick keratinous protrusion under it, which seems to be able to play the role of legs. Of course, the most disgusting thing is its head, because there is a round mouth like a black hole, and seven or eight rows of chain saw teeth on the edge of the mouth, which is very terrifying.
"I finally know who is commanding those corpse worms." At this moment, Ashufude and I both figured out who the corpse worm manipulator was, because the big guy who just came out was clearly a corpse worm, and there was a person riding on its back.
Just as we sighed that the big corpse worm finally emerged, the giant corpse worm suddenly raised its head and shrank downwards, and then sprayed forward suddenly, and a large ball of yellow-brown substance was sprayed out by it. These things quickly evaporated into the air to form a layer of cloud-like things. The black beetle turned over almost when it touched the edge of the cloud-like mist and three pairs of arthropods kicked in the air for a few times and then stopped moving again.
"Why is this guy so poisonous?" Ashufude immediately screamed nervously when he found that the large area of black beetles were knocked down by poisonous fog.
"Don't worry, these beetles share their vision with me. She can see what we see, and I believe she will respond."
"I hope!"
Sure enough, I was right at all. The queen could not reproduce only one kind of creature. The black beetle suddenly moved to run back together, and the beetle's big hole also stopped and went out. After about a few seconds of pause, the hole suddenly exploded from the inside with a bang, and a huge head stretched out from the inside.
"What a big hornet!" Ashufude had only time to say this and saw that the ground was completely overturned. A wasp, which was over 40 meters long, crawled out of the ground, shook its wings twice, and then flew up immediately.
Seeing the wasp rushing into the poisonous fog, it was not affected at all and rushed over directly. The big corpse worm on the opposite side might realize that the enemy was difficult to deal with, so it suddenly raised its head and hit the ground and then drilled into the ground. The wasp rushed to the place where it was standing before, but it didn't matter, but the big corpse worm suddenly spit out a yellow-green mucus at the wasp. As soon as the thing touched the wasp, the blue smoke was pouring out of the wasp's body.
"It seems that your wasp is not good!" said Ashufude.
Chapter completed!
