Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

For Lu Meng, the most unique strength in his body is the ability to load modules.

He always thought that this was the ability to modify the game... no, it was the world.

Generally speaking, the greater the magnitude of this modification, the higher the authority requirements and the more likely it will have unpredictable consequences.

That's "collapse."

However, a message reminded Lu Meng.

——There is still a "Lord of Insects" in this world.

In the history of the Shark Kingdom, every king will mention this enemy. They are eager to kill the Insect Lord and eliminate the threat, but they never do so.

Counting the time... this means that the Lord of Insects has survived for at least several thousand years.

Never died, almost immortal.

Unlike the Bone Man, the Insect Lord is made of flesh and blood!

This is much more outrageous than Lu Meng.

In comparison, the Insect Lord's ability to control and command the spider army is considered trivial.

Lu Meng can't foresee eternal life for the time being.

But he suddenly discovered that he could achieve a similar ability to communicate with living creatures through modules.

——Animal Recruitment.

During the journey into the swamp, in addition to the general "experience bonus" module that is a pendant, Lu Meng has been experimenting with the effect of "animal recruitment".

The result is obvious. In addition to appeasing violent wild species like Tieniu, other domesticated animals will also be particularly close to him, as if they regard Lu Meng as one of their own kind.

More importantly, the native creatures in the swamp also reduced the disturbance to the caravans.

It was as if Lu Meng was always exuding pheromones, marking the team.

When crossing the black swamp, the hemp rope suddenly broke. Looking at it now, it is actually probably the blood spider.

The limbs of these insects are no less than sharp knives.

Since then, blood spiders have appeared near the caravan.

But they haven't launched an attack yet because of Lu Meng.

In the eyes of Blood Spider, the entire caravan is just another group of spiders, or food escorted by a powerful similar species, which cannot be touched.

The larvae parasitic on the swamp people do not dare to attack, for fear that they will be killed by competitors as soon as they appear.

It wasn't until they were out of Lu Meng's influence that the hungry blood spiders took action together.

Now, Dang Lu Meng uses the module again.

Only then did the blood spiders realize that the big boss who had been covering the caravan had appeared again.

And at such a close distance, the effect of the module actually interfered with the orders conveyed to them by the real insect mother.

The spiders that had been charging to the death were like a colony of ants that had lost their target, spinning in circles.

In an instant, the entire ground seemed to be covered with a chaotic red carpet.

However, this impact is not without cost.

Lu Meng could feel that when using "Animal Recruitment" against more creatures in a large area, his physical strength would decrease rapidly.

This consumption is proportional to the number of "recruited" objects.

Therefore, he ate havoc and crazy along the way. It is estimated that his body fat rate increased by several points.

Ariel thought it was because Lu Meng had a big appetite, but in fact it was because he had been making preparations.

"There is a price," Lu Meng thought in his mind. "It only proves that the ability brought by the module is 'real' in this world."

The current animal recruitment module is only C-level. Even domesticating domestic animals requires gradual development of feelings and training, and cannot be achieved in one step.

As for blood spiders, it can only interfere with the chain of command of the insect swarm and make them chaotic.

That's enough for now.

But what if you wait until "Animal Recruitment" to continue upgrading?

B-level, A-level, S-level... In the end, can you really organize a biological army of your own like the Insect Lord?

Then think about it the other way around.

Do the abilities of various modules really never exist in this world?

The blood spider mother let out a roar, as if scraping a rusty iron shield with a sharp blade.

Its voice was filled with anger mixed with fear.

The moment the human in front of him stood up, the obedient descendants suddenly became disobedient.

No matter how much it urges, it secretes the glands that produce pheromones to the extreme. Although the sub-individuals become more manic, they just don't dare to attack the lonely human being.

Such a situation... It's not like the insect mother has never encountered it before.

In nature, when competitive people of the same kind meet, they will often show off their advantages first, such as taller height, sharper horns, wider body, etc., and then the weaker ones will be scared off.

At this moment, the feeling this human brings to the insect mother is clearly that of a stronger and more ferocious blood spider of the same kind!

Even it felt fear, and of course its descendants did not dare to step forward.

However, in the insect mother's delicate compound eyes, the opponent clearly looked like a 'human', just a prey to be preyed upon.

It should feel appetizing, not fearful!

The information brought by vision and instinct was completely misaligned. The insect mother's simple neural brain could not understand such a thing, and she immediately fell into chaos.

Not only the insect mother, but also other caravan companions present were shocked by this scene.

Leader Lu just stood up alone. The swarm of insects that had been plundering ferociously and had the momentum to devour and kill all suddenly stopped in front of him.

It was as if he had drawn an invisible high wall by being there alone.

Everyone who knows the "truth" can't help but think:

Have you...did you take a bath in insect repellent water?

As expected of our team leader.

Be ruthless to your enemies, and even ruthless to yourself!

You know, even with the barrier of a gas mask, the potion will feel pungent and unpleasant when poured on it, and the smell will make people sick.

Leader Lu’s sacrifice was too great.

Under the ninja masks, everyone couldn't help but have red eyes... mainly because of being smoked.

The Shaq warriors sighed: Is this the Nameless One?

It turns out that being a hero is not that easy.

If it were me, I could spit out yesterday's breakfast.

If before, they were a little envious that a human had won the title, now they only have admiration.

Only Giant Ryan noticed something was wrong.

Lu Meng disrupted the insect swarm, and the pressure here suddenly eased. She also had the opportunity to look at the blood spider insect mother.

At this sight, she frowned.

"Human skin... spider?"

Indeed, with four sharp legs touching the ground, two vestigial short auxiliary limbs, and an abominable head like a twisted baby... except that the mother insect's body surface is deep red, and the skin color of the human skin spider is almost human, they are almost same species.

Ryan instantly remembered.

It was obviously in a swamp, but she didn't expect to see those nightmares of the Spider Plains here.

The climates of the two places are completely different, but the shapes are so similar.

'However, even the insect mother is not as big as a human-skin spider, and the blood spider larvae are also different from human-skin spiders...huh? Has anyone seen a human skin spider larvae? ’

Ryan was confused.

The ones that escaped were all adults of human-skinned spiders. Whether it was the Shaq Kingdom or the technology hunters, they all agreed that their nest was in the deeper 'Arak', which was also known as the Throne of the Lord of Insects.

If Spider Plains is a dangerous place, then the Throne District is a place of death.

Except for the successive kings of Shaq, no one has ever entered alive. Naturally, they don’t know what those nests look like and whether there are any cubs in them.

She watched Lu Meng walk forward step by step, and the swarm of insects separated like a red tide.

The white-haired young man had already replaced the old world crossbow, and with the knife in his hand, all the blood spiders that had no time to react were cut open.

But the insect mother, who was as tall as a person, was still struggling, but was becoming more and more shrinking and wary.

——This is definitely not the effect of the potion.

Ryan thought.

The insect mother and the human-skin spider are so similar in shape. If there is any medicine that can deal with the insect mother, it should also be able to deal with the human-skin spider.

If the technology hunters had such technology, they would not have been slaughtered in the first place.

The Shaq Kingdom is also happy to use this power to rush into Alk, rush to the throne, and complete the revenge that no warrior of all generations has been able to achieve.

However, at this moment, Lu Meng was able to influence the insect mother.

Although it is not as powerful as the legendary Lord of Insects, it has achieved something.

Could it be that the hope of annihilating the great enemy of the world still falls on this unknown person?

Or...

Will he be the next "Insect Lord"?

Before Ryan could get lost in his thoughts, she heard Lu Meng shout, "Come help me!"

When he looked up, he saw that the fierce yet elegant Blood Spider Mother suddenly turned around and jumped into the jungle!

It's running away!

He left his offspring all over the floor and ran away alone!

As a blood spider, once it loses the advantage of numerical cooperation, this insect mother can only reach the edge of legion level.

In a head-to-head situation, it can kill at most one high-level martial artist, so how can it compete with the caravan?

The survival instinct finally defeated its meager wisdom, and the insect mother fled here quickly like an ordinary frightened insect.

However, Lu Meng is not ready to let it go!

He canceled the module effect, stopped disturbing the other blood spider offspring, and concentrated on chasing the insect mother in the direction where it fled.

Lu Meng's plan is simple.

The current animal recruitment effect is still relatively weak. To form a swarm, you need to tame the blood spiders one by one, which will waste too much energy.

But there is one exception.

That is a female spider that can reproduce offspring!

As long as you catch the insect mother, use the module to cultivate it, and then use it to reproduce and control the offspring...

Lu Meng couldn't help but use low-level modules to initially possess a small army of blood spiders!

Lu Meng even suspected that the insect master used a similar method to mobilize large-scale insect swarms by mastering multiple human skin spider nodes.

However, blood spiders are already known for their agility, not to mention their focus on escaping.

The insect mother almost turned into a red shadow in the air, scuttling between the jungle branches and escaping. Its limbs were nailed to the trunk of the tree, chipping away at the wood chips.

Even with Lu Meng's sprinting speed, limited by the terrain, he could barely keep up with the red back of the insect mother.

"Squeak——" The insect mother just jumped onto a side branch, and the ground suddenly disappeared under her feet.

Its whole body and the branches fell down together, its limbs moved the branches in a panic, and the fallen leaves were flying.

But Ryan on the other side rushed out and chopped off the branch where the insect mother settled with an axe.

The size of the insect mother is considered large among the blood spiders, but compared to the giant Ryan, it is only half as tall.

The Shaq female warrior raised her segmented ax high and was about to smash it down on the fallen insect mother.

Zheng!

A ray of green light came across and caught Ryan's heavy chop.

"Stay alive." Lu Meng said quickly, while opening the module to the insect mother.

For an instant, the insect mother's black compound eyes lit up.

In her eyes, the giant blade was about to cut her in two, but it was this human holding a long iron that blocked the attack.

Is this life-saving?

Could it be that this person is really the same kind as her...

The next moment, the insect mother turned over and ran away while the two were not paying attention.

It doesn’t matter whether you are of the same type or not, the most important thing is to save your life first!

In the world of blood spiders, if you encounter more brutal kin, your consequences will only be more miserable.

Bang!

The running insect mother flew into the air, her limbs swinging messily.

A big man named Shaq hit it in the face.

The huge impact was no less than that of a wild bull.

After Kang heard Lu Meng's order, he walked around to their sides in a tacit understanding.

Under the attack of Lu Meng and Rui En, the insect mother broke into the area where he was ambushing.

The insect mother fell to the ground, twitching with difficulty, her joints cracking.

It just looks tall in size. After all, it is still a blood spider and its mass is not heavy. If it is hit like this, it will fall apart.

In the big black eyes of the insect mother, a pair of long legs wearing high boots were reflected.

At the same time, the smell of the same kind became stronger and stronger.

The weak insect mother's reaction became more and more confusing. When she looked at the violent and powerful sibling, she actually showed a desire to survive.

After all, everyone is a blood spider.

You have to give your sister a hand...

Click.

Lu Meng held the long knife upside down, aimed it at the insect mother's body and stabbed it in hard.

The carapace suddenly shattered, and a thick smell like human blood poured out.

The insect mother twitched violently on the ground and then became silent.

"Didn't you say you want to live?" Ryan stepped forward and looked at the twisted creature curiously.

"It's not that easy to die, right?" Lu Meng wiped a long knife, "Mainly, it's much more honest this way."

His actual combat experience has not increased much, indicating that the injury is not fatal.

The scary thing about blood spiders is also their vitality. It doesn't take long for them to recover from their coma.

Don't look at the fact that it bleeds easily when beaten... most of them are from prey, just like the butt of a mosquito sucking blood.

Breeding and growth are fast, organized, aggressive and resistant to beatings. This is a natural biological weapon, and it simply does not seem to have evolved naturally.

If there wasn't so much food and a moist environment outside, it would be a disaster for the blood spiders to spread.

An insect swarm can only have one mother insect, which also limits the scale of their breeding, so as not to eat up the entire swamp.

Lu Meng was very satisfied with the successful capture of a female blood spider.

He used the same technique he used to tie crabs before, wrapping the whole insect mother around and around, and then carried it on his back.

As for domesticating it, it will be taught slowly later.

A few people returned to the original place, and the rest of the blood spiders were almost scattered.

Without the command of the insect mother, these insects are not as strategic as the bone dog group, and the Shaq warriors can easily deal with them.

Coupled with the insect repellent potion on the 'Swamp Ninja', there was no loss of life in the entire caravan.

It's just that it's inevitable that everyone will be injured, with varying degrees of severity. The most serious ones are like being cut by a sharp knife, which is also shocking.

Lu Meng left the insect mother behind, causing everyone to marvel again.

Looking at this weird creature, everyone couldn't help but think:

Why did you catch it... did you cook it and eat it... it didn't look like there was much meat.

And, it’s a little disgusting.

I'm afraid it's not all human blood inside.

However, since it was Leader Lu who did it, it’s not surprising.

Lu Meng ignored them and asked everyone to check whether they were parasitized by larvae. He also took the medicine box from Tieniu and prepared to treat the injured.

The most urgent ones are the two swamp people who have been under siege for the longest time and are still in a coma.
