Hyper-fusion, I have infinite forms

At this moment, the giant mantis was holding another of its kind that was much smaller than itself between its sickles. Regardless of the other's frantic struggle, it kept gnawing at it with its head tilted.

The "crunching" sound that Zhou Yan just heard was the sound of it gnawing on its own kind!

He took a step back silently, then immediately froze again.

The huge mantis suddenly stopped chewing and tilted its head slightly. Its huge compound eyes seemed to be looking at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan retreated quickly on the spot!

Chapter 51 Secret Circuit

The moment Zhou Yan's eyes met with the giant mantis, he immediately retreated quickly.

Just as he retreated quickly, the terrifying mantis's body also turned rapidly.

歘!

The double sickles in its hands swung and, accompanied by a violent whistling sound in the air, instantly chopped down in front of Zhou Yan!

However, Zhou Yan had already held his sword in front of him, and instantly fought against the terrifying sickle limb.

when!

The collision between the hard sickle and Zhou Yan's sharp sword actually made a golden sound.

Zhou Yan was struck and flew away by the huge force.

The giant mantis' sickle limb also bounced back and rose up, and it could be seen that there was obvious damage on it where it had fought with Zhou Yan's sword.

Obviously, although this sickle limb is terrifying, it is still biological material after all, and is not as sharp and hard as Zhou Yan's sword of disaster.

Zhou Yan, who was struck and flew away, was not seriously injured. He flipped in the air and landed lightly on the ground, feeling reassured.

Although the giant mantis was very powerful, it was actually not as strong as Zhou Yan. The reason why it was able to chop him away was simply because Zhou Yan's weight was average.

I was intimidated by the size of my opponent just now, and subconsciously I thought about retreating to save my life.

As soon as they started fighting, he immediately felt the strength level of this giant mantis - much weaker than his own.

However, he still maintained his previous strategy and retreated rapidly, swinging his left arm intentionally or unintentionally during the retreat.

The giant mantis had a low IQ and rushed directly towards Zhou Yan.

Unlike its terrifying attack speed, the giant mantis's running speed is also fast, but it is at a normal level.

But despite its huge size, it is still extremely fast.

It only took two seconds for him to catch up with Zhou Yan who was walking backwards.

While it was running, its two sickles had already retracted and stored in front of its chest. Its compound eyes were fixed on the retreating Zhou Yan, and its powerful dynamic vision quickly decomposed Zhou Yan's movements.

Just get closer again and it will hunt again.

However, just as it approached Zhou Yan and was about to attack, its body suddenly stopped!

The next second, its running body seemed to be tripped by something, and then it fell to the ground.

"It's done!" Zhou Yan laughed and quickly stopped retreating.

The more the mantis struggled, the more strenuous its movements became. Looking closely, one could see many white silk threads sticking to its body.

It was the spider silk that Zhou Yan shot out using the Ghost Spider Spinner!

Since he entered the mantis nest, he secretly shot out a lot of spider silk and stuck it on the walls and the ground.

It was clearly working successfully at this moment.

Successfully restricted the mantis's movements.

Although the maximum force that each spider silk can withstand is two hundred kilograms, the combined effect of multiple spider silks can still keep the giant mantis firmly under control.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yan raised his left arm, and a black lotus blossomed, aiming steadily at the giant mantis that had not given up struggling.

Black Lotus!

boom!

The flames of destruction erupted.

The force of the small explosion pushed Zhou Yan back two steps.

"Squeak!"

The giant mantis let out a shrill scream. Half of its huge soft abdomen was blown off, revealing its broken internal organs.

A large amount of miasma flames burned wildly, causing terrible damage to the giant mantis.

Zhou Yan laughed wildly and immediately took a few steps forward. The black lotus on the end of his left arm bloomed again.

This time, the target is the mantis's head!

boom!

[Kill "The Chief of the Erosion Scythe Mantis" and gain 223 spiritual points]

[You gain "Rune Factor: Agility"]

[You gain "Rune Factor·Durability"]

[You obtain "Rune Circuit Core·Secret (1)"]

Out again!

Zhou Yan smiled as he looked at the giant mantis whose head was smashed, abdomen burst, and finally lost its breath.

He looked directly at the effect of the rune circuit.

[Rune Circuit Core·Secret (1)]

[Rating: 0 stars, level 2]

[Effect: Added to the life equipment, increases agility by 2 points, spirit by 1 point, and activates "Secret Circuit (1)"]

[Secret Circuit (1): When combined with the three rune factors of "Acumen", "Spirit", and "Curse" in the same life equipment, it will additionally gain the effects of "Acumen +5", "Aura Masking Effect +20%", and "Cheat Damage +20%"]

[Note: Everything is false, everything is allowed! ]

it is good!

Zhou Yan's lips curled up.

This circuit effect called "Stealth" is designed for "assassin-type" play. The three abilities are all enhanced in the direction of agility, stealth, and sneak attack.

He can then adjust the combination of runes according to the actual situation.

Choose "Break" when fighting head-on, and choose "Stealth" when attacking by surprise.

Putting his thoughts aside, Zhou Yan chose to put this circuit aside for the time being. Anyway, neither of the two circuits could be triggered now, so it would make no difference which one he used.

After installing the other two newly acquired rune factors, Zhou Yan looked at the rune column that was filled to [6/10] and became more and more satisfied.

He reached out and touched the body of the sickle-mantis leader.

【Leader of the Sickle Mantis】

[Type: Magic Insect]

[Description: Among the mantises infected and mutated by the Corruption Mist, the most mutated individual has strong dynamic vision and extremely fast slashing speed.]

[Rating: 0 stars, level 2]

[Attributes: Physical strength 29, Agility 23, Spirit 6]

【Note: Kill, eat, absorb! 】

[Detected Chaos objects that meet the requirements, whether to include them as materials for the talent "Super Fusion"]

Zhou Yan nodded slightly, another candidate for fusion material.

However, although the fighting power of this mantis seems to be stronger than that of the spider, if he really has to choose, he will choose the spider.

After all, if you only look at the attribute enhancement, the mantis and spider are no match for his third-level material - the Ye Lian Huo Sword.

From a functional point of view, spiders that can spin silk and deliver poison are much more useful than mantises.

But if he really had to think about it, he was not very satisfied with either of these two candidate materials.

His target was the "protozoa" described in the information, that is, the "Orthoptera" insect that caused all this and was integrated with the strange crystal.

That guy should be at "Level 3", right?

Without further ado, Zhou Yan bypassed the body of the sickle-mantis leader and quickly explored the entire laboratory of the Mantis team.

As a result, there was no living thing in the entire laboratory.

They were all eaten by the mantis leader.

The only one left was an ordinary sickle mantis that had just been bitten in the leader's mouth and was still struggling to survive, and was killed by Zhou Yan's sword.

[Destroy the "Sickle Mantis Nest"]

[Additional Mission 2: Destroy the "Mutated Insect Nest" (2/?)]

When Zhou Yan left the Mantis Laboratory, he shook his head with some regret.

So many ordinary mantis monsters were killed and eaten by the giant boss.

What a waste.

I wonder if the following labs will be the same.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but quicken his pace.

After all, I heard that many insects, like the mantis, have the habit of cannibalism.

If he moves a little slower, he might be faced with a situation where only the BOSS is left.

It is easier to fight, but you will also lose a lot of spiritual income and potential rune loot.

This was definitely not what he wanted to see.

Chapter 52: The Locust

On the way, Zhou Yan ran while frowning and thinking.

Unlike "Aranea" and "Mantodea", the names cannot correspond to the species.

He was actually a little confused about what the final target, "Orthoptera", was.

After all, Zhou Yan had never seriously studied zoology or entomology.

Just keep alert and think seriously.

He ran out from the left half of the entire laboratory and ran to the right side of the laboratory.

And soon stopped in front of a rather imposing electronic gate.

“This Orthoptera lab takes up the entire right half of the large lab.”

Zhou Yan stood in front of the tightly closed door and felt that the fog here was particularly dense, as if the source of the fog was behind the door, and fog was constantly escaping out from the tight gap in the door.

"This should be the final destination," Zhou Yan thought, then took out his ID card and swiped it directly on the verification machine.

[Ding, an abnormal event occurred. The laboratory is closed. You do not have enough authority to lift the seal.]

A series of electronic synthesized voices sounded, informing Zhou Yan of the situation in the laboratory.

Zhou Yan listened to the hint, pondered for a moment, and came up with a solution that was not really a solution.

He turned around and began to look for what he needed.

About twenty minutes later, he returned to the door of the closed laboratory.

This time, he clamped the Ye Lian Huo Sword between his left ribs and took out a stack of dirty metal cards with his right hand.

He searched the entire laboratory for these ID cards, finding them among the corpses and clothes left everywhere.

Since the researcher in the white coat is of a lower rank and does not have enough authority to enter here, let's try with more authority.
