Chapter 149: The Origin of the Zerg Hive Mind and the Creep

Inside the underground tunnel.

'Crack~'

In the tunnel where a large number of slaves were gathered, as the tunnel suddenly shattered, five types of modified scarabs poured out from the earthen walls.

These scarabs were like a tide, layer upon layer, and extremely ferocious. Each scarab was somewhat round, with a golden carapace, resembling small suns.

They had become completely different from the original scarabs of the Scarab Valley.

They eat everything.

Whether it's living things, steel, or magic!

A large number of slaves in the underground city were immediately covered by these scarabs.

The Drow warrior Mountain, hiding in another tunnel, saw this scene. His eyes widened. Only then did he realize that what was spreading throughout the tunnel and constantly attacking his army was not a surface human force.

It wasn't even a force.

But these scarab swarms.

At this moment, the three hundred slaves from the underground world gathered in the tunnel didn't even have the ability to resist, and each of them was swallowed by this massive swarm.

The Drow warrior Mountain was a little dazed. "What are these things? Even in the wilderness where Black Rye Main City is located, there aren't such ferocious insects."

"Could it be that the surface is much harsher than we imagined, with similar ferocious insects everywhere?"

"No wonder our troops didn't leave any corpses behind before. It turns out they were all eaten by them."

"If the surface world is so terrifying, then do we... do we still need to go up?"

"I feel like these insects are like the terrifying and threatening creatures that exist in the depths of the underground world."

The Drow warrior Mountain swallowed his saliva, "God, if these insects on the surface follow the tunnel and enter the underground surface where Black Rye Main City is located, then our main city will be in big trouble."

"Molly Wood, lead the Fire Dragon Lizardman troops to stop those insects."

The Fire Dragon Lizardwoman immediately exclaimed in dissatisfaction. "Me? Lord, you want me to take people up there?"

The Drow warrior Mountain pulled out his Drow warrior sword that he carried with him. "Otherwise? Besides, it's not me asking you to go, it's that the group of terrifying insects have finished eating those useless slaves and are eyeing us."

"God. Is the natural world on the surface so terrifying? How can these insects exist in nature?"

The Fire Dragon Lizardwoman looked up and was horrified to find that the scarab swarm had already discovered them, and many modified scarabs had already flown towards them.

The Fire Dragon Lizardmen immediately took up their weapons and besieged the insects.

They were the direct troops of the arcanists, creatures that had been modified by the arcanist matrons, so they could use some spell-like abilities.

At this moment, fifty Fire Dragon Lizardmen spat flames from their mouths at the modified scarabs in front of them, and suddenly cone-shaped flames covered the swarm.

Many scarabs couldn't withstand the high-temperature flames and fell to the ground.

The Tank Scarab ran to the forefront of the underground tunnel, trying to withstand the Fire Dragon Lizardmen's flame vomiting, but was still scorched by the flames.

The swarm suffered heavy casualties!

The modified scarab swarm seemed very angry.

Something was being born within the swarm.

Su Nan, who was traveling in the carriage, felt the direction that was about to evolve due to collective anger through the reactions of these scarabs connected to the wolf pack effect.

Su Nan raised his eyebrows and stroked the heads of Wolf One and Wolf Two in the carriage, who were also baring their teeth at the enemies not present because they were infected by the scarabs' angry emotions.

Su Nan said: "Alright, alright, be quiet."

"It seems that the scarab's hive mind can be cultivated. The experiment is progressing more smoothly than I imagined."

"Because the underground world's army harmed my scarab swarm, the scarab swarm with super reproductive power began to move in the direction I expected."

"Speaking of which, the Drow are doing a good job. Then continue to work hard and cultivate the swarm for me."

Inside the underground tunnel, just as the Drow warrior Mountain was about to smile with satisfaction, he saw a group of scarabs with hideous bone spurs coming to the front of the swarm, withstanding the flames spewed by the Fire Dragon Lizardmen, and began to fire bone spurs at the Lizardmen troops.

Suddenly, the throats of many Fire Dragon Lizardmen were pierced by bone spurs.

One by one, the Fire Dragon Lizardmen fell to the ground.

The Drow warrior Mountain's face was ugly. These Fire Dragon Lizardmen were all precious Black Rye City soldiers that could only be produced after being transformed by the arcanists' acquired magic power.

Each one that died was one less.

Originally, he thought that at least one or two would die when they went to the surface, but who knew that countless would die underground.

At the same time, the Magma Scarabs also climbed to the top of the tunnel, spewing magma flows directly below, and some even detonated themselves, killing one Fire Dragon Lizardman after another.

At the same time, the modified scarabs poured into the middle of the Fire Dragon Lizardmen troops and began another round of devouring.

Half an hour later, the Drow warrior used the dark energy warrior sword enchanted in his hand to destroy all the scarab swarms head-on with his lover.

But his troops were already few, with only a few Fire Dragon Lizardmen still alive.

The defeated modified scarab swarm, under Su Nan's control, temporarily left and then started to develop again.

The ambush by the Drow warrior in the underground world wiped out his own troops and most of the troops recently bred by the swarm.

But the problem is that the most terrifying thing about the swarm is that they are connected to the sun by Su Nan and have the powerful reproductive power that Su Nan has transformed with magic.

This is something that the Drow warrior cannot realize because his knowledge is limited.

Otherwise, he would quickly realize that insect swarms, even in the deeper underground world, are super-model magical creations with immense potential.

This proves how powerful the magic behind these insects is, and how ingenious the hidden design is.

He would realize how foolish it was to place the entrance to the surface in its current location.

And just a day later, the Drow warrior Hill, believing he had won the war, that the surface dwellers' conspiracy was over, and that he could safely reach the surface world, gathered his remaining lizardmen troops and led them back into the underground tunnel in the area of yesterday's battlefield, only to curse.

Because, inside these tunnels, swarms of insects like yesterday's had reappeared. Although not as numerous, at least a hundred modified scarabs had gathered.

Moreover, they seemed to have changed somewhat.

The Drow warrior Hill suddenly realized that the insect swarms blocking his path to the surface were not just monster groups that could be easily overcome, but powerful obstacles.

Could he, with his abilities, fight his way through this swarm?

Or, would these insect swarms follow their route and directly attack the underground city?

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, Su Nan had already entered the Samori County and saw the dilapidated villages within the county, filled with beggars, bandits, and the Storm Lord's crazed army.

Su Nan began to ponder. "It's now been proven that those races in the underground world have all been modified by wizards."

"That is to say, the main research direction of those underground refuge factions was likely the monster modification faction within the summoning or curse schools."

"And the so-called higher races of the underground main city should be monster armies that have been successfully modified."

"But that Drow warrior used a dark energy enchanted spell once, with a strength roughly similar to that of a second-class wizard apprentice. His mental power is also 4, several times stronger than ordinary humans."

"However, he was panting heavily after using the spell only once. He is likely just a servant monster with spellcasting abilities created by the wizards."

"Then the question arises, are the so-called arcanists of the underground world also spellcasting races modified by the wizards? It's just that the previous batch of wizards messed up, so they were backstabbed by these arcanists—or rather, the Drow."

"Or is arcane magic truly a new category of magic? The situation in the underground world is more complex and special than I expected."

"After all, this underground world was created by a group of wizards. It seems that only by actually going down there can I know the truth."

Su Nan decided that he would truly venture underground in the future to figure out these questions, and also find the veins of aether ore, which could steadily improve his mental power.

Ideally, he would also capture a few Drow warriors, or even the Drow Matron Mother Black Rye, and get his hands on her. This way, he could ask about many things and also study the so-called arcane magic.

In addition, his insect swarm, because it devoured the luminous moss placed in the tunnels of the underground world, has caused some of the queen insects of his scarab swarm to begin secreting a special fungal substance.

On this fungus, the movement speed, attack speed, and aggressiveness of the scarab swarm will increase again.

Su Nan decided that in the future, after returning, he would use potions to stabilize the ability of some of the queen insects in the swarm to secrete these special fungal substances.

And for now, he would let that Drow warrior help him iterate the insect swarm. If they are not capable enough, then in order to protect the safety of the surface and for his own experimental needs, he would have no choice but to push the insect swarm deeper underground.

Although this is no longer defending, but actively invading.

However, if the underground can invade the surface, the surface can also invade the underground.

Gaining some extra territory and controlling a deformed wizard society would also be a good thing for him.

That deformed underground wizard society must also have a large amount of wizard data, but it is completely incomparable to a orthodox wizard society.

At the same time, in Samori County, a refugee was helplessly knocking on his carriage while holding a little girl. "Please, sir, give my daughter some food."

"Sir, please bestow some charity upon us."

"We haven't eaten for three days."

"Sir..."

Vasilian had already condensed his black blade, after all, his primary responsibility was to protect Su Nan, and not anything else. If any enemies were mixed in among these refugees, that would be his greatest dereliction of duty.

But Su Nan stopped him, "Vasilian, just give them some food."

"Also. All of you can head north towards Peter County. The order there is stable, and as long as you are willing to work, you will always find a way to survive."

Population is also a kind of wealth.

Only with population can there be economy.

If the Earl of Samori doesn't care about these people, then he would gladly accept them, which would also be good.

The refugees outside the carriage immediately began to thank Su Nan and began to discuss whether they should really go north to find a place to live.

Su Nan raised his eyebrows, not expecting that Samori County had reached this state.

It should be known that Samori County probably also has an entrance to the underground world, and Black Rye Main City will also invade here.

Although he didn't know if the sudden invasion of the Storm Kingdom by the underground world had anything to do with the Supreme Church, Su Nan sensed that the Supreme Church seemed to really want to completely destroy the Storm Kingdom.
