Chapter 327: Chapter 281: Tunnel Giant Worm
Lisu County
The entire county town was shrouded in mist, with the surrounding environment pitch-black, and the streets still empty; the monsters had disappeared without a trace.
The Mother Worm carried Su Han swiftly through the town, its enormous form treading the streets and leaving holes of consistent size where its segmented legs dug into the ground.
“Have they run to the poison pits?”
The psychokinetic power of the Mother Worm spread continuously, but beneath the cover of the mist, the shape of the creature that had launched a long-range attack had vanished.
The monster was at a considerable distance, and the attack came so suddenly that even the Mother Worm didn’t react in time; it could only roughly identify a direction after the fact.
The ground rumbled, a subtle vibration causing rows of high-rise windows to tremble slightly, as though an earthquake was occurring.
Underneath the street’s surface, two fleeing Poison Fog Earthworms were rapidly moving towards the poison pits at this very moment.
However, they were unaware their movements had already been locked onto by Su Han and the Mother Worm.
‘Attack.’
Su Han conveyed the command to the Mother Worm, which moved its large body, lifted its head, and fired a shockwave from its mouth directly at the road surface.
Boom—A loud crash
The previously slightly trembling road surface now exploded into a huge hole.
The earthworms sensed the danger and attempted to continue struggling, but what followed was the Bug Quality relentlessly pouring into their wounds.
Giant Scorpion Insects gathered around, their sharp Tail Hooks piercing into the earthworms’ bodies, injecting a large amount of toxins.
It must be said that as one of the sources of the poison fog, the Poison Fog Earthworms had a resistance to poison far greater than Su Han had imagined.
More than a hundred Giant Scorpion Insects injected toxins without holding back, yet after ten minutes, they had only caused some suppression and had not completely anesthetized them.
Fortunately, the Mother Worm was nearby, and with the suppression of its psychokinetic power, the Poison Fog Earthworms didn’t have any chance to resist.
The Bug Quality quickly solidified, forming two brand-new Zerg nests, enormous in size, and each nest featured a single, built-in ovary-like sac embedded within.
These immense Zerg nests stood next to tall buildings with the two Poison Fog Earthworms wrapped within them, now deep in slumber.
Although the toxins had not been completely successful, the invasion and modification by the Bug Quality had already begun, rendering them unable to move.
The large Zerg nests were not just for hatching insects; the Zerg’s bio-architecture itself possessed the function of modifying biological forms or could be seen as part of the hatching process.
The hatching process of the Zerg involved the use of Bug Quality and the brood mother devouring other life forms, gradually digesting and extracting their genetic material to be incorporated into the Zerg’s gene pool, followed by recombinant hatching.
The creation of Giant Scorpion Insects followed this pathway and was the most orthodox one, with abilities and functionalities that were quite well-developed.
But now, what Su Han was doing was direct modification, bypassing the hatching time to directly transform two insects based on the Poison Fog Earthworm prototype.
“The level of the Zerg nest is still too low,” Su Han mused as he watched the slow transformation, feeling somewhat regretful. Although a LV1 Zerg nest was already quite capable, producing worker insects, blade insects, and Giant Scorpion Insects, it was limited in high-ranking units, topping at around Second Order at best, which was not enough to satisfy his demands.
Especially now.
