Chapter 2873: The Front Line

"Whoosh!"

Fang Heng flashed to the side of the mother spider’s nest, and the great holy sword in his hand swung again!

"Bang!!!"

The mother spider’s nest was heavily wounded, violently twitching and contracting, with a number of damage numbers in the hundreds of thousands popping up above its head!

Some more!

Fang Heng swung his great holy sword once more.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

Under Fang Heng’s consecutive attacks, the mother spider’s nest shook violently, its flesh and blood constantly bursting, and large chunks of blood and flesh from the outer layers gathered and fell off.

Hmm?

What was this?

Under the falling flesh and blood, a petrified, crystal-like texture was exposed.

At that moment, Fang Heng suddenly realized that the mother spider’s nest wasn’t just a large body. It was more like a conglomerate of fungal bodies, parasitically attached to a giant red crystal about three meters high.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"

The mother spider’s nest suddenly shook violently, and its wounded body quickly began to grow and regenerate.

Fang Heng glanced at the health bar of the mother spider’s nest.

Wow.

That’s one long health bar!

Moreover, a significant chunk of its health that was just reduced was quickly recovering!

Looks like it has the same self-healing ability as the Seed of Ouroboros.

No problem; it was manageable.

The output is still keeping up!

"Chi! Chi! Chi!!!"

The group of Lickers quickly wiped out the mutant worms surrounding the mother spider’s nest and rushed to attack the mother spider’s body.

The mother spider’s nest had an extremely high HP but lacked defensive and countermeasures, letting the Lickers continuously attack it and slowly whittle down its health in combination with Fang Heng’s attacks.

"Bang!!!"

After spending five minutes, Fang Heng finally worked with the Licker group to deplete the mother spider’s nest’s health entirely.

The fungal bodies attached to the red crystal exploded, and large chunks of black blood and flesh fell off, revealing the deep crimson crystal that had been encased inside.

Without the mother spider’s nest providing a source of energy, the surrounding fungal blanket quickly receded.

[Hint: The player has killed the mother spider’s nest (D-level) (Mutated Leader). The player gains 500 contribution points and 500 honor points for the spawn tribe.]

[Hint: The player has successfully cleared a D-level nest. The player gains 3,000 contribution points and 3,000 honor points for the spawn tribe.]

Done!

Fang Heng stowed the great holy sword and carefully approached the red crystal to examine it.

The red crystal stood about three meters above the surface, with a larger portion buried underground.

It was emitting heat.

It looked like some kind of special energy ore?

Fang Heng was puzzled, reaching out to touch the crystal.

[Hint: The player has related skills... The player discovers the mineral - deep crimson crystal.]

[Hint: The player can use the mining skill to extract this ore.]

Deep crimson crystal!

So, this was the material required to upgrade the Licker’s ranged attack ability!

Fang Heng glanced at the mutant worm corpses around him and immediately understood.

Perhaps the Seed of Ouroboros relies on fusing with the power of the deep crimson crystal, which allows the mutant worms to evolve into ranged attack forms.

Thus, the evolution of zombie clones into ranged artillery would also require the deep crimson crystal.

He would need to figure out a way to extract the deep crimson crystal and transport it back.

However, this world is unique and doesn’t allow space passages...

Or, he could directly upgrade the Seed of Ouroboros to Level 5 and unlock new abilities to complete the Licker’s special ability transformation right here?

Fang Heng glanced at the game hints.

Alright, no rush.

His current genetic modification progress for the Rock Armored Gun Worm was only 12.55%, and upgrading the Seed of Ouroboros was still far off.

Moreover, it had already taken an hour to clear the D-level nest.

It was a bit tedious.

Fang Heng stroked his chin.

Thinking carefully, his Licker modification body was naturally strong against both the Rock Armored Gun Worms and the mother spider’s nest.

The Licker’s stealth and burrowing ability could bypass the artillery fire from the Rock Armored Gun Worms, getting close to them and dragging the mutant worms into melee combat.

The Rock Armored Gun Worms wouldn’t be able to respond effectively.

Calculating roughly, once his next batch of zombie clones respawned, he should be able to clear a D-level nest in about 10 minutes.

Seeing that the Lickers had already finished digging the passage and the first batch of scattered energy ores had been transported back to the ship, Fang Heng began directing his zombie clones into two teams.

One team would collect the deep crimson crystals on-site, while the other would dig a deep pit and quickly connect the underground passage to the energy ore field.

No rush, he would collect the deep crimson crystals first.

We’ll come back for more next time!

...

On the ship.

Deputy Commander Gorn had just returned with a batch of Federation elite soldiers.

Because of the sudden mutant worm outbreak, the Captain’s main team had been surrounded by the mutant worms’ ambush, so Gorn had started the emergency plan, requesting reinforcements and sending teams to assist, hoping to relieve the pressure on the main team.

He had just fought his way back with his subordinates, but they were still short of completely destroying the nest. With energy and ammo exhausted, they had no choice but to return to the ship for supplies.

"Report the situation of each team."

"Yes!"

Soldiers began to report the situation of each team.

Gorn listened, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

Trouble.

None of the teams had been able to make progress.

The reinforcements had arrived, but they were still unable to advance effectively due to the mother spider’s nest interference.

The long-range attack lines of the mutant worms were too troublesome.

They could only push forward slowly, wearing down the enemy.

Charging recklessly would result in heavy losses.

Every soldier was an elite carefully trained by the Federation.

One death means one less soldier!

But now, what to do?

Now, all available forces were delayed, and even the Captain was trapped. The entire ship was left poorly defended except for the bare minimum guard.

Hmm?

Who’s that?

Suddenly, Gorn noticed Fang Heng wandering in the main ship area.

The kid had a big box on his back.

A box?

Where did that come from?

Fang Heng had just returned to the ship, delivering the batch of energy crystals he had collected to the starship’s mainframe network.

[Hint: The player has submitted some energy ores. The player gains 212 contribution points for the spawn tribe.]

Huh?

Only 200 contribution points?

Although the energy crystals delivered weren’t much, only 200 contribution points?

That’s a bit low.

Wait.

Fang Heng frowned.

Although his spawn tribe contribution points had increased, his personal honor experience had not increased.

"I see..."

Fang Heng checked the mission carefully.

To gain personal and team honor experience, one needed to complete the spawn tribe missions. The mining tasks were Federation-issued.

While they provided spawn tribe contribution points, they didn’t contribute to experience points or merit.

Alright then.

It’s better than nothing.

At least there was no risk in exchanging for energy crystals.

Let’s grab a bit of this wool first.
