Mechanical Flesh

Leaving the jungle, Qi Yuan continued to move towards the second check-in point. All the Pathfinder Beasts were completely lost, and without the protection of the shadow shuttle, Qi Yuan became more cautious.

Fortunately, the two of them were lucky. Not long after leaving the jungle, they found a nest of insects and beasts again.

In front of the fourth-order seraphim, there is no nest of insects and beasts sitting in the ranks of elite insects and beasts.

Soon, Seraphim once again ruled over ten third-order worms, and sucked all the other worms inside into a pile of mummy.

With the recovery of strength, the number of insects that Seraph can control is also slowly increasing.

Qi Yuan originally wanted to try his own mechanical control, whether he could control the insects and beasts like Seraph, but no matter whether it was the third, second, or first level, he couldn't control it, so he had to give up in the end.

Driven by Seraphim, the nine-headed third-order worms acted as the pioneers of the trail, sneaking all the way, while she herself was attached to a worm with a hard carapace that even Qi Yuan couldn't name, carrying it on her back. Qi Yuan ran wildly in the wilderness.

Qi Yuan sat on the hard back of the worm beast. Although its running speed was extremely fast, it was extremely stable. The only disadvantage was that the carapace was too hard, harder than a hard seat, and the ride comfort was so poor that it was unbearable. I can't help but want to give a bad review!

When the hard-shelled insects were running at full speed, the hard carapaces rubbed against each other, but they didn't make too much noise, as if there were sound-absorbing measures.

What interests Qi Yuan the most is the four legs of the hard-shelled beetle.

The appearance of the hard-shelled insect is like a giant Ahn'Qiraj beetle. Its legs are four curved joints with sharp ends. These joints completely violate the common sense of mechanics in the old age. When it runs, it is not embedded in the ground. , the sharp jointed limb ends lightly touch the ground, and it can fly several meters away, without even leaving a footprint.

Riding on the black "Ahn'Qiraj Beetle", Qi Yuan soon came to the second check-in point. Compared with the weird jungle at the previous check-in point, this check-in point seemed more dangerous.

This is a large underground insect beast lair, which is bigger than any insect beast lair Qi Yuan has encountered before. Except that there are no fourth-order elite insect beasts sitting in it, the third-order insect beasts have reached an astonishing 27 In addition to hundreds of first-level and second-level insect beasts mixed together, even if a fourth-level ability user enters rashly, he will be surrounded and killed in the insect nest.

It's a pity that this group of beasts met Seraphim!

Seraphim's power,

The perfect strategy of restraining the sea of ​​insects, destroying such a huge insect nest is just a waste of time.

After Qi Yuan promised Seraphim a ray of starstone energy, Seraph controlled a group of worms and rushed into the worm nest screaming. Qi Yuan was outside the worm nest, half leaning on the Ahn'Qiraj worms. back, waiting leisurely.

The angry roar of the worm came from the ground, and soon, the light spots on the worm detector that symbolized the worm began to decrease rapidly.

The underground insect nest is in chaos. Although there are few invading enemies, there are more and more insect beasts who betray the water. Seraph is like an invisible ghost. Wherever he passes, third-order insect beasts continue to betray the insect nest. Start attacking your companions crazily.

The betrayal worms seemed to be endless, but the roaring worms became less and less, only the corpses were more and more. Half an hour later, the roaring and fighting in the worm nest finally subsided, and Qi Yuan rode a black Ahn'Qiraj slowly walked into the cave.

In the huge insect nest, there are broken and shriveled corpses everywhere, and the strong smell of blood fills the insect nest and lingers.

Perhaps it was because Seraph had absorbed too much blood, although Seraph, who appeared in the form of a little girl, still looked cute and innocent, Qi Yuan could still smell the bloody smell in her body, and her hair became It became more and more scarlet like blood, as if turning from Seraphim into Bloody Mary.

In the deepest part of the insect nest, it was as empty as an underground palace. Seraphim stood among a pile of broken corpses. Eleven third-order insect beasts with relatively complete bodies surrounded them neatly, half squatting on the ground, like A group of huskies waiting to be fed by their owners.

After seeing Qi Yuan, Seraphim immediately floated over, waiting for her reward with a face full of anticipation.

Eleven "huskies" all turned their heads, eyes of different sizes glared at Qi Yuan.

"Good job!"

Qi Yuan ignored the gaze of "Husky", rubbed Seraphim's hair, and then condensed a wisp of star energy.

Holding the energy, Seraphim happily returned to being surrounded by "Huskies", and began to taste slowly.

Qi Yuan looked around, only to find that in the cave, besides the corpses all over the floor, there was also a circle of insect eggs of different sizes standing on the edge of the wall.

That white beam of sign-in light softly shines on the insect eggs, as if they are hatching eggs.

Qi Yuan jumped off the Ahn'Qiraj beast, touched the soft beam of light with his right hand, and the second talent point took shape in his body.

These eggs...

Qi Yuan roughly counted these eggs and found that there were more than forty eggs. Among these insect eggs, the big ones were bigger than a millstone, while the small ones were only the size of a fist. This place seems to be a special hatching room.

There are so many insect beasts that lay eggs, and they put the eggs together!

Qi Yuan vaguely felt that something was wrong. The matter of reproduction should be a very private matter for any race. If they were insects of the same race, it might be possible to hatch their eggs together, but this It is a strange thing for insects and beasts of different races to put their eggs together.

Qi Yuan looked around for a while, using area detection to observe for a while, and he found a clue. This pile of worm eggs seemed to be normal, but inside, most of the vitality was already very weak, and some worm eggs were even completely destroyed. die.

There is only one fist-sized insect egg, which is extremely full of vitality, and the rich vitality seems to have absorbed all the vitality of other insect eggs together.

This worm egg!

Qi Yuan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly realized that the check-in point appeared in this pile of eggs, not by accident, but because of a problem with this egg.

What kind of egg is this?

Qi Yuan used area detection to observe carefully for a while, but he didn't get the answer he wanted. In the core area of ​​the eggs, there seemed to be an invisible force field, and the first-order area detection could not detect the situation inside.

wrong!

If this worm egg also belongs to this worm nest, who put it here?

Those third-order worms would definitely not want their offspring to be absorbed nutrients, so the rest of the worm eggs must not belong to the worms of this nest, they must be spoils of war looted from other places!

Among the eggs whose vitality was plundered, there were many eggs of third-tier insect beasts. It was an organized behavior to be able to plunder so many eggs just to hatch the eggs of insect beasts at this moment.

Therefore, this hive must have a leader!

Judging from the size of this worm nest, the leader of the worm nest is most likely an elite worm beast!

So, this is the egg of an elite bug beast?

Qi Yuan suddenly thought of Seraph.

The more powerful the species, the more energy it needs.

Seraphim had been sleeping in the training cabin for hundreds of years, and it was Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang who helped her collect a lot of energy in the end before waking it up. It is not known what kind of monster hatched from this worm egg.

The more powerful the insect beast, the more ferocious it is. Even if it is just a hatchling, it is full of aggressiveness and will never be easily tamed.

I don't know if Seraphim can control this kind of unhatched eggs?

With a thought in his mind, Qi Yuan called Seraphim over.

Seraphim stared at the egg of the insect beast for a while, his eyes seemed a little curious, and he reached out and touched the egg.

As if feeling the threat, the eggs trembled slightly, and a powerful life force beat like a heart.

Crash!

Seraph's mouth suddenly dripped with saliva.

"This! Delicious!" Seraph swallowed and said.

Qi Yuan suddenly felt a little bit pained.

In the eyes of Seraphim, there are only two kinds of things in this world, one is delicious! The other is not tasty!

"Try it, control it!" Qi Yuan said.

Seraphim swallowed, obviously unwilling to give up this stutter, but she still didn't dare to violate Qi Yuan's consciousness. She tried to control the life in the egg of the insect beast, but unexpectedly failed.

The failure was not because it was uncontrollable, but because the control force needed by this worm egg was so strong that it was unexpected.

Seraphim frowned, looked back at the eleven "huskies" sitting in a row eating fruit, picked two of the most injured worms, and released the control on them, and the other nine worms immediately rushed forward, They share food.

Of the eleven "huskies" sitting in a row, only nine are left.

After releasing some of the remaining control power, Seraphim tried again. This time, Seraph and the Egg of the Beast stalemate for nearly a minute, and finally completed the control.

Controlling such an unhatched life is even more difficult than controlling a third-order worm. Qi Yuan vaguely realized that the worm inside might be more powerful than he imagined.

While controlling the life inside the worm egg, Seraphim seemed to have given up the idea of ​​eating it, and stopped drooling at it.

"It's coming out soon!" Blazing Angel said suddenly.

As if to confirm Seraphim's words, the egg of the insect beast jumped again.

Qi Yuan glanced at the eggs of insects and beasts, then at the corpses all over the ground, and said:

"Don't hatch here, take it away!"

Although all the worms in this worm nest are dead, there is likely to be an elite worm leader here. If it finds out that its eggs have been controlled by others, it may be another fierce battle.

Seraphim naturally wouldn't question Qi Yuan's words, it walked up to a controlled insect beast, stuffed the beating egg of the insect beast into its mouth, and then watched it swallow it into its belly, then patted it gently. Clap.

Qi Yuan and Seraph, leading a group of controlled worms, hurriedly left the worms' nest and rushed to the next check-in point.

Qi Yuan rode the Ahn'Qiraj beetle, and Seraph rode the worm that swallowed the egg. The two walked side by side, and the other worms were scattered around, acting as pathfinders.

Qi Yuan glanced at the two light clusters that symbolized the second-level talent points. In less than a day, he harvested two second-level talent points and an egg suspected to be the egg of an elite insect beast. It was a bumper harvest. .

Even compared to the harvest in the old city, it is not inferior at all, and there are four sign-in points waiting for my sign-in.

Those are four powerful second-order innate abilities, and perhaps a door leading to the third-order.

Qi Yuan glanced at Seraphim, whose eyes were empty, wondering what he was thinking, and couldn't help sighing.

Although the amount of investment in Seraphim's body was huge, the returns it brought were also astonishing.

If you don't have the powerful strength of Seraphim, not to mention the follow-up check-in points, it's just that this nest of insect beasts with dozens of third-order insect beasts entrenched, and that weird man-eating jungle are not places I can set foot in. You can kill yourself on the spot in minutes.

More than a thousand Tier 1 energy cores in exchange for a loyal Tier 4 thug, no matter how you look at it, it's a sure-fire deal.

When it was getting dark, Qi Yuan finally saw the third check-in point, which was a sparkling lake. In the center of the lake, a white light beam emitting a faint light floated peacefully on the water.

Seeing the sign-in point that was close at hand but hard to touch, Qi Yuan couldn't help complaining.

"First it was a human-eating jungle, then it was a huge underground insect nest, and now it's in the center of a lake. Except for the sky, the location of this check-in point really covers everything."

The area of ​​the lake is not very large, but it is not small either, covering tens of acres.

If it was just an ordinary lake, it would not be difficult to swim over to sign in, but the problem is that the lake is so deep, and there are so many dangers hidden in it.

Even standing next to the lake, the area detection did not detect the depth of the lake. Looking down, there was only a void of blackness, as if there was a bottomless abyss beneath the lake.

With the idea of ​​trying, Qi Yuan asked Seraph to throw a third-order worm down.

Plop! Plop!

The worm swam towards the center of the lake with a crappy swimming style. On the calm water surface, the water rippled. Qi Yuan stared at the worm in the lake until it swam out of the detection range of the area. A vortex appeared in the center of the lake, and the worm beast that was struggling to swim suddenly sank downwards, and then never surfaced again.

Qi Yuan felt a chill in his heart. With his eyesight, he didn't even see clearly what happened just now. A third-order worm disappeared without any struggle, leaving only a series of bubbles behind.

The rippling lake surface gradually calmed down, and the deep and nearly black water surface was like a monster with its mouth open, waiting for the next prey to throw itself into the net.

Seraphim also stared at the water in a daze, with puzzled and angry eyes.

Did she know the underwater monster?

"What are you looking at?" Qi Yuan asked tentatively.

Seraph pointed to the calm lake and said angrily, "It robbed me of my food!"

The corner of Qi Yuan's mouth twitched.

I shouldn't have asked!

Time passed little by little, and the light gradually dimmed. The night, which is extremely dangerous to ordinary ability users, is not too dangerous for Qi Yuan at this moment. With the current strength of Qi Yuan and Seraph, those who will recover in the night Polluters are not inherently more dangerous than worms.

Facing the calm lake, Qi Yuan began to think about countermeasures for signing in. The monster in the lake can quietly drag away a third-order worm beast, which means that there is at least an elite worm beast inside, even if it is a seraphim. It is impossible to defeat an elite worm underwater, and with the size and depth of this lake, there may not be only one elite worm in it

When darkness fell, the worms returned to their nests, and polluters came out of the ground. Besides human polluters, there were many polluters in the wilderness, and they were the masters of the night.

After a while, Qi Yuan found an unusual place. During the day, no worm beast dared to approach the lake. At night, the polluting beast didn't care about the danger of the lake, and tried to hunt himself beside the lake. There are those squat bug beasts.

Could it be that the monsters in the lake are as picky eaters as Seraphim, and won't eat polluting beasts?

With a thought in mind, Qi Yuan said to Seraph:

"Catch a few polluting beasts and throw them in!"

Although Seraphim didn't know what was going on, he acted kindly in front of Qi Yuan, and the controlled insects and beasts quickly dispersed, and after a while, they each came back with a struggling pollution beast in their mouths.

Plop! Plop!

Several pollution beasts were thrown backwards into the lake, and their survival instinct made them struggle hard.
