Chapter 2884: Reckless
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After a preliminary test, Fang Heng had already figured it out.
The insect swarm’s front line looked fine at first glance, but in reality, it was only sufficient to deal with the Federation.
Relying on the stealth ability of the Lickers, as long as they broke through the insect swarm’s defense line, most of the mutant worms in the swarm would not be able to break the Licker’s defense.
What was there to be afraid of?
Just charge ahead!
"Go!!"
After clearing the creep worms, Jayne and Charles’ teams joined forces and quickly advanced toward the central C-level insect nest.
Charles was also shocked and asked, "Where did you call the reinforcements from?"
"Hehe, it’s a secret."
Jayne chuckled and controlled the spawn war machines to continue advancing.
At this moment, the soldiers realized that Fang Heng’s summoned creatures were even more terrifying than they had imagined!
The summoned creatures had already spread out and infiltrated the ground, attacking from below and breaking through the defense net laid out by the Rock Armored Gun Worms.
The Federation soldiers were still behind, far away from the Licker swarm, dealing with the creep and scattered Plague Mothers.
Though the team seemed somewhat disjointed, in reality, Fang Heng’s Lickers had already suppressed the Rock Armored Gun Worms, throwing them into chaos.
The long-range firepower of the insect swarm was completely suppressed!
The Federation soldiers hardly had to worry about long-range attacks, simply moving forward steadily, using beam weapons to clear the creep and Plague Mothers along the way.
Just as Jayne led the team to fire and clear the creep, the ground ahead, covered by the creep, suddenly showed strange ripples.
The creep?!
Upon closer inspection, layers of wriggling movements appeared in the crevice, with many high-tier mutant worm bodies spilling out from it.
Creep worms!
A dense mass of them, and even a large number of elite and commander-level creep worms, suddenly erupted, spilling out from under the creep and rushing toward the Licker swarm at the front from all directions!
Jayne suddenly felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.
So many?
Wasn’t it said that there weren’t many creep worms?
And this was just a C-level insect nest.
The captain and the others who were dealing with the A-level insect nest couldn’t even imagine how terrifying that would be.
The next moment, the creep worms rushed toward the more than a hundred Lickers that were attacking the Rock Armored Gun Worms, quickly overwhelming them.
Fang Heng was also surprised to see so many creep worms suddenly appear. He muttered to himself, "Heh, so it’s purely relying on numbers for suppression..."
Jayne’s Federal team watched as the creep worms quickly overwhelmed the Lickers and Rock Armored Gun Worms along the way, rapidly advancing toward them.
Under the beam weapon’s fire, large numbers of creep worms fell, but more continued to crawl over their fallen comrades!
As the distance between them narrowed, the soldiers grew increasingly tense, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.
It was over!
They couldn’t hold them off!
Jayne and Charles exchanged a glance and were about to retreat.
Huh?!
What?!
Suddenly, about three hundred meters ahead of the Federation team, the ground trembled slightly, and the creep showed fine cracks.
"Chi! Chi chi!!!"
Jayne’s face changed.
More creatures, just as dense as before, crawled out from the cracks!
Fang Heng’s summoned creatures!
There were even more!
The Licker swarm did not attack immediately after emerging from the ground but quickly formed a long defensive line on the spot.
As over four thousand Lickers gathered, they charged forward in unison, rushing toward the creep worm swarm!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"
The mutant worms collided violently in the center of the battlefield, exploding into bloody mist.
The pungent smell of blood made the soldiers’ hearts tighten.
A series of game hints appeared in Fang Heng’s retina.
[Hint: The player’s zombie clone (modified Licker form) kills a creep worm.]
[Hint: The player’s zombie clone (modified Licker form) kills a creep worm...]
[Hint: The player’s zombie clone (modified Licker form) kills a creep worm (leader).]
[Hint: Detected creature – creep worm (mutated), has a modifiable branch option for the player.]
Modifiable branch option: Creep adaptation.
Description for modification: After modification, the creature becomes more adept at moving in the creep domain, gaining an additional 30% movement speed, 30% attack speed, and a 30% increase in all attributes. The creature can enter a hidden state in the creep domain, unable to move but can hide its aura and reduce all incoming damage by 80%, while healing 2000% faster.
Additional description for modification: After modification, the zombie clone gains the special form of a creep tower (this form cannot receive any fusion evolution). This form has an additional 200% HP and 200% HP regeneration speed, but it cannot move or attack. In this state, the creature can gradually spread creep in a 60x60 domain.
[Hint: The player needs to kill elite or higher level creatures to obtain genetic information and activate genetic modification. Current genetic acquisition percentage: 0.37%.]
Fang Heng’s pupils suddenly contracted.
Creep modification!
This was a great thing!
Upon closer inspection, the modification enhanced combat power by 30% in the creep environment, and it could also hide directly in the creep.
The hidden effect of the creep was excellent; even his strong perception and blood sense could not detect the hidden creep worms beneath the creep.
However, the creep modification required cooperation with the creep tower form to create a creep domain, which was more suited for a defensive battle.
Fang Heng quickly thought.
This was a very outstanding enhancement effect.
If properly coordinated, these skills could create a terrifying effect greater than the sum of their parts.
Unfortunately, the Seed of Ouroboros’ level was still not high enough to fuse all the modifications.
For now, he decided to focus on unlocking the modification branch.
Fang Heng shifted his gaze from the game hints back to the battlefield.
Kill!
More and more Lickers crawled out from the ground and pounced toward the central battlefield.
"They actually blocked them..."
Behind them, the Federation soldiers looked at the insect swarm fighting ahead, feeling a chill run down their spines.
The terrifying summoned creatures.
They had reached the point where they were crushing the creep worms!
Even the commander-level creep worms could hardly gain any advantage over the Lickers.
At most, they were just knocked away by the larger commander-level creatures.
After landing, the Lickers quickly recovered and joined the fight.
It was almost a one-sided massacre.
The number of creep worms was rapidly decreasing, and the creep worms couldn’t cause any damage to the Lickers.
