Chapter 17: Demon of Obiris

"What are these strange insects doing by piercing their tails into the stomachs of the deceased?" Gao Fei asked Yao Guang.
"Laying eggs." Ms. Webmaster explained in a low voice, "These monsters from the bottomless abyss belong to the Obiris demon group and are called egg-planting demons. The stings of the egg-planting demons are not only weapons that secrete paralyzing toxins, but also ovipositors.
, the moment it stings a creature, it can implant several eggs into the opponent's body."
"The egg-planting demon stings its prey, paralyzing it. As a host for the eggs, the eggs quickly transform into larvae in the host's body, greedily devouring the host's flesh and blood. They can mature in just one day, break out of the body, and look for new ones.
The victim serves as a host for the eggs and frantically breeds the next generation of egg-planting monsters."
Just when Yaoguang was introducing the habits of the egg-planting demon, another video began to play on the projection screen.
Judging from the clock on the screen, it was already late at night, just three hours after the troops stationed on the island were wiped out.
The victim's body was not only implanted with insect eggs, but was also dragged back to the military camp by the egg-planting demon.
An egg-planting demon can drag the body of a fully-armed soldier into the air and fly it back to the camp. This shows that the strength of this insect-shaped demon is much greater than that of birds of the same size.
The corpse with the insect eggs implanted seemed to have undergone some strange chemical reaction. A yellow mucus similar to corpse wax exuded from the surface of the skin, soaking into the military uniform, and the whole body became sticky.
Like a group of hard-working worker bees, the egg-planting demons use human corpses as nest-building materials. Each corpse is deposited on the wall of the building. The mucus exuded from the corpse acts as a fixation similar to cement mortar.
The egg-planting demons do not have the superb construction skills of bees, nor do they have a unified plan. They just randomly pile corpses on the walls according to their own preferences, and eventually wrap the entire building in the mess of corpses, forming molds of flesh and blood.
A lake and a huge insect nest with strange shapes.
The satellite lens raises the angle of view, overlooking the military camp on the island.
There were a total of seven buildings in the camp, all of which were covered with corpses. Young faces with dead eyes, wounds and flesh were all exposed in the moonlight.
The corpses covering the doors and windows of the bloody insect nest trembled from time to time, and then the egg-planting demons came in and out.
Gao Fei looked at this set of close-ups and couldn't tell whether he felt scary or disgusted. He turned his head silently and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
The demons he had come into contact with before in the game and in reality all belonged to the Tanar'ri tribe. Although they were evil and crazy, they could at least carry out basic communication and even reach limited cooperation based on common interests.
In contrast, Obiris demons are irrational and seem to prey, reproduce and kill only on instinct.
After witnessing the tragedy that happened on Ghost Island, Gao Fei truly understood why the documents about demons in the Tiangong database repeatedly emphasized one fact:
The first Obiris demons born in the Abyss, also known as the "Abyss Zerg", are more extreme and more representative of the two dimensions of "evil" and "madness" than the rising star Tanar'ri demons.
The will of the abyss of chaos.
The officers and soldiers stationed on Ghost World Island lost their minds when they saw the egg-planting demon and killed each other without even having time to report their encounter to the superior department.
It was not until dawn the next day that the Ministry of Defense learned that the troops stationed on the island had lost contact, and quickly dispatched the helicopter carrier "Koka" to the waters where Onigai Island is located to investigate what happened on the island.
The last video Gao Fei watched in Yaoguang's office faithfully recorded how the "Jiahe" went to destruction step by step.
This Izumo-class helicopter carrier is about 250 meters long, has a full load displacement of 26,000 tons, and a speed of 30 knots. It carries 14 anti-submarine helicopters on the flight deck. It looks like a black whale, covered with silver moonlight, sailing on the undulating sea.
.
Looking from the deck, Ghost Island looks like a large chimney standing on the sea level, emitting billowing smoke.
The magma overflowing from the island's volcano poured into the harbor along the slope, cooled when it met the water, and emitted large clouds of steam, making the entire island shrouded in smoke, making it look hazy and mysterious.
The helicopter took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier and flew to Guijie Island, two nautical miles away, for reconnaissance. It soon became apparent that the garrison base had turned into a terrifying lair of flesh and blood.
Communication within the base has been interrupted and no one is answering.
The helicopter formation lowered its flight altitude and planned to land near the base, and sent people into the base to search for survivors.
The abyssal insect swarm that occupied this base was alarmed by the sound of the helicopter's motor. The egg-planting demons flew out of their nests one after another and rushed toward the helicopter in overwhelming numbers.
The roar of the cannon shook the night sky, but was soon overshadowed by the buzz of the insect swarms.
The egg demon's sharp teeth and stingers are equivalent to magical weapons. They can actually penetrate the steel shell of an armed helicopter and get in to hunt the crew members.
Even if the aerial cannon mounted on the helicopter directly hits the egg demon, it will be difficult to cause serious damage to it due to the blockage of the hard carapace and damage-reducing armor.
What's more, the number of egg demons is a hundred times that of helicopters.
The eight helicopters were destroyed by the swarm in the blink of an eye. The six helicopters that followed realized that the situation was not good and quickly turned around.
But it was too late.
The egg-planting demon buzzed and rushed forward, submerging the helicopter in the brown-red insect swarm.
The officers and soldiers in the cabin were controlled by supernatural spiritual energy just by looking at the egg-planting demon through the window. They lost their minds on the spot, roared and rushed towards their companions, and started fighting crazily.
Frequent gunshots were heard in the cabin, and the out-of-control helicopters fell one after another, hit the beach, and exploded.
The aircraft carrier in the distance received the warning sent back by the helicopter formation before it was completely destroyed, and quickly evacuated this dangerous sea area. At the same time, it launched air-to-surface missiles, intending to blow up the Ghost World Island military base that had been occupied by the Abyss Group.
The missile was launched and as soon as it flew over Ghost World Island, it was hit by a purple beam and exploded in mid-air.
Seeing this scene, Gao Fei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his heart twitched violently.
What's happening here?
The Eggplant Demon won't come up with laser anti-aircraft weapons, right?
The crazy Obiris Zerg has no such high technology, it is more likely to be some kind of magic or supernatural power.
The red beam that intercepted the missile did not come from the insect nest, but seemed to be emitted from the wormhole on Ghost World Island.
Could it be that on this island, there are otherworldly evil spirits more terrifying than the egg-planting demon?
Just when Gao Fei was wondering, a bright spot suddenly appeared in the night sky. They were four huge fiery red meteors, dragging tail flames generated by friction with the air, and crashed down at high speed.
The meteor's impact point was exactly in the sea area where the "Koga" was located.
The first meteor hit the side of the ship and fell into the sea, like a heavy near-missile bomb, setting off huge waves and almost overturning the aircraft carrier "Koga".
