Just when Beria, the King of Lies, and his True God cultists were preparing to start the final step of implementing their plan, far away on the other side of the Nobile Sea, at the junction of the mountains in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Ernstinger and the Salva Jungle
Here, a war that is getting bigger and bigger and more and more brutal is going on fiercely.
The Evil Blood Demonic Soil is like a living monster. Its path to the south is blocked by the Knights Templar. Its spread to the north is trapped by the barbarians of Harrogath using ancient spells in the Worldstone Temple. The ocean to the west
Blocking the path of dispersion, only the mountains to the east and northeast have a way out.
As a result, the monsters in the Demonic Land began to madly attack the insect swarm defense line in the mountains regardless of the cost. The Rolling Wood Fortress in the northeast was also attacked by a large number of monsters.
Endless spider demons and terrifying undead surged out of the bloody mist, rushing into the thick bacterial mist to engage in fierce battles with the insect swarms within.
Although the insect swarm is much stronger than these monsters in terms of both the quality and quantity of the soldiers, and killing them under the tactical command of the insect mother is as easy as eating and drinking, these guys are endless.
Emerging from the blood mist, no matter how ruthless the insect swarm was, or even dispatching fleets to cover it with firepower, they could not stop their crazy attack for even a moment.
Even the ferocious firepower of the insect swarm not only did not reduce the offensive intensity of these demonized monsters and undead armies, but on the contrary seemed to stimulate their ferocity. As time went by, more and more demonized spiders and undead began to join the battle.
Some incredible and strange monsters have even begun to appear on the battlefield.
Xue Hua once saw with his own eyes hundreds of giant spiders with tattered films of flesh and blood between their legs, flying through the sky with countless human arms extending from their backs, and even bodies split from the middle, with a creature growing out of them.
A weird spider demon with tumors in countless eyes.
These weird and terrifying looking monsters have various abilities. For example, the flying spiders mentioned earlier, the arms on their backs can actually use weapons such as bows and crossbows!
Those guys with tumors with eyes growing out of the cracks in the middle of their bodies are similar to "ground radar stations" that monitor king insects. They can even penetrate the interference of the evil blood mist and accurately capture king insects flying in the sky.
!
The reason Xue Hua knew this was because sharp blood arrows flew several hundred meters into the air several times in the bloody fog. The targets of these blood arrows were the King Insects who acted as local commanders on the front line.
Although these blood arrows never really hit the King Insect due to their slow flying speed and limited range, the mere fact that these monsters could target the King Insect was enough to make Xue Hua very interested.
He instructed Zagara to pay attention to collecting the genes of these strange monsters during the battle, and submit these genes to Abathur so that they can be incorporated into the gene pool of the swarm to provide information for the future evolution of the swarm.
More references.
However, his move was quickly opposed by Abathur.
"Why? Even I feel the need to collect the genes of these monsters, but why don't you think they are useful?"
Xue Hua asked Abathur in the main hive mind with some strangeness. He couldn't figure out why the master of insect swarm evolution, who always regarded alien genes as rare treasures, would let go of the genes of these monsters.
"Biological genes originate from two types of evolution. One is natural change. Organisms need to change their genetic structure in order to adapt to the environment and survive. This process is long but relatively safe. The resulting genes have undergone testing and are very reliable.
The second is artificial mutagenesis, in which biological genes are reprocessed for a specific need to strengthen or weaken certain aspects until the purpose is achieved and become a variable gene species. The variation in the insect population originates from the second genetic evolution method.
The method is fast and efficient, but the process is very unstable, and the resulting genetic varieties are highly experimental and have unpredictable risks.
Both of these genes can be used by the insect swarm. After improvement and purification, they can be added to the insect swarm gene pool and contribute to the evolution of the insect swarm. However, the genes of organisms affected by this unknown virus have actually been modified at the molecular level.
The virus collapsed, and what is now fighting against the bugs is actually not a living thing, but a life-like species composed of particles wrapped in the energy of the virus.
They have no genes to collect and no remains after death."
Abathur explained to Xue Hua in detail why these creatures emerged from the blood mist in such an endless stream. Although it and Zuzade have not developed a method to destroy the evil blood demon soil in the past few days,
plan, but he learned a lot of information about the so-called "evil blood virus" from the heart brought back by Xue Hua.
This power that can transform ordinary land into "demon soil" and corrode life and everything enveloped by it is actually a very special "virus" in a semi-energy state.
This virus seems to be transformed from the cells of normal organisms in a special way. They can divide and multiply rapidly in the air, and can quickly cover a very wide area.
Of course, the proliferation of viruses in this semi-energy state also requires a lot of nutrients, but unlike ordinary viruses that can only infect living things, this virus can not only infect living things, but can also infect anything enveloped by them, including human spiritual entities.
, which is what people often call "soul".
And the most terrifying thing about these viruses is not that. The most terrifying thing about them is that when they infect the body or mental entity of a certain creature, they will quickly take control of the infected person and drive the infected person to become
Minions that help them spread faster.
The bodies or spiritual entities of these infected people will soon disintegrate and change in nature, becoming monsters composed entirely of this virus.
This kind of monster only looks like life. In fact, they are just a collection of semi-energy viruses.
What's even more terrifying is that Zuzade's research has confirmed that when the number of viruses increases to a certain level, they will produce the most basic collective intelligence. The purpose of this collective intelligence is very simple and crude, which is to promote this kind of virus.
This virus continues to multiply, continue to grow, and grow in a more effective way!
In other words, the reality is that the Kingdom of Ernstinger that Xue Hua and the others are facing now has turned into a huge beast that is eager to devour people. It is looking around, looking for anyone who can escape from this big bag.
The breakthrough!
Fortunately, this "beast" is not too smart at the moment, because it has obviously found the wrong target for a major breakthrough.
The insect swarm is not a soft persimmon to be pinched. If it wants to spread from the barrier mountains, it may have to dream to achieve this goal...
