Chapter 400: The Spark of Civilization - Talival
The towering pillar of fire licked the sky, forming a huge prison of death. Countless insects turned into ashes and became firewood in the flames.

No matter what kind of insect you are, or what strange abilities you have, you will be turned into ashes in the sea of ​​fire at the end.

"Finally the killing is over!"

Mu Yi looked at the empty surroundings and sighed sincerely. The number of insects was beyond Mu Yi's imagination.

How many bugs did he burn to death?
One million? Five million? Ten million?

Even he couldn't count them, the insects swarmed over him like an overwhelming force.

They even feed on the flames released by Mu Yi, using them as nutrients to breed more insects.

Just when Mu Yi was thinking about where to go next.

A black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.

The scarlet pillar of fire, like a blooming brilliance, escaped from Mu Yi's hand and instantly expanded in the air. The fire carried the power of death, suppressing the black shadow in one fell swoop and burning it to ashes.

The falling shadow howled sharply. Its huge wings flapped in a strange wave, and in the instant it was released, it engulfed the pillar of fire and transformed into thousands of insects on the spot.

The moment these insects appeared, they were swallowed up by the flames that swept over, emitting a foul stench and turning into remains burned by the flames.

Under the influence of the strange waves, these debris were transformed into new insects, and then they rushed towards Mu Yi again.

"It looks like this should be something like the Insect King?"

Mu Yi stared at this newly appeared monster thoughtfully. Like the previous insects, this insect king-like creature possessed a strong reproductive power, and its body was constantly emitting twisted fluctuations of reproductive will.

Not only energy will be affected, but even matter will be affected by this distorted fluctuation. Mu Yi can feel that every time a batch of insects is bred, the aura of this Insect King will become stronger.

"It's similar to the principle of my upgrade. Practice your own path, and then you can gain the corresponding power..."

The ringing sounds of flapping wings in the sky seemed to cause some kind of hallucination. Countless swaying butterflies, ants, and nest insects appeared in front of Mu Yi's eyes, and the insects that he could not see clearly were clustered among these countless stinging insects of different sizes.

These stinging insects exchange pheromones just as flowers exchange petals of different colors, and then different new species are born and bred.

The next moment, the will broke through the illusion, and Mu Yi knew that it was the source of the power of reproduction, an insect that became a god through reproduction, and an extremely powerful god at that.

The Insect King in front of him was just an imitator or a follower who was repeating his path to becoming a god?

It is even possible that this Insect King is descended from the bloodline of the Insect God.

The confrontation between the sea of ​​fire and the swarm of insects begins again.

However, in this tug-of-war of power, Mu Yi clearly felt the weakening of the Insect King's power. Although the power of reproduction can allow insect swarms to multiply out of thin air, this kind of reproduction will consume power.

Even though the aura is getting stronger, the power contained in the body is infinitely weakening.

It is precisely because of this principle that the Insect King only shows up when the insect swarm is completely burned.

"How strange! He possesses such a powerful energy, but he has no other means except reproduction!"

During the brief confrontation, Mu Yi saw the Insect King's flaws.

Apart from the most primitive physical fitness and the powerful breeding power that can create insect swarms out of thin air, this Insect King actually has no other means.

It is clear that the methods used by those insects before were varied, including spitting fire and driving lightning, and they were quite powerful.

However, it seems that it is precisely because of this purity that the breeding ability of this Insect King is so exaggerated.

After only a quarter of an hour of confrontation, the Insect King gave birth to millions of insects, which formed a huge swarm and charged towards Mu Yi.

It seems fragile, but in fact, the distance between the swarm and Mu Yi has been shortened by nearly two-thirds from the beginning.

This was also the first time that Mu Yi encountered such an opponent. There was no special skills in the fight between the two sides, just the most basic energy consumption confrontation.

Although this kind of consumption confrontation is terrifying, if it were someone else, he might have been captured by the swarm of insects and used as a breeding ground.

"I'm a little tired of this endless consumption!"

Mu Yi felt that he needed to find a place to clean his eyes. Staring at the huge swarm of insects for a long time had caused his eyes to be a little traumatized.

The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword was unsheathed.

A blade light over a hundred feet high cut a bloody path through the insect swarm. Although the blade light shrank rapidly due to the consumption of the insect swarm, the will to cut off everything in the blade light was not wiped out.

The huge insect king was cut into two halves by the sword.

Just when Mu Yi thought that the dust had settled, the Insect King that was split in half actually turned into two Insect Kings under the influence of the power of reproduction, but its strength was greatly weakened.

"The universe is so vast, there really is nothing strange in it!" Mu Yi was amazed and felt that this thing really opened his eyes.

The power is so pure that it is almost without any impurities. Although the means are so scarce that the power can only be consumed by quantity, the problem is that there seems to be no better way than to consume it.

Even the decapitation tactic has completely lost its effect.

Well...it's not that it has completely lost its effect. Mu Yi can keenly feel that the speed of the birth of the insect swarm is beginning to slow down.

And the newly born swarm seemed to be a little weaker.

The impact of being forced into two seems to be greater than imagined.

Just when Mu Yi was bored and engaged in a boring war of attrition with this group of insects whose heads were empty and only had thoughts of reproduction.

"Insect swarm discovered, annihilation operation, execute immediately!"

"Danger level: 3 (relatively dangerous), prepare for remote blasting."

"Energy weapons ready, pay attention to switch to protection mode."

"Coordinates: 422, 121, 63, fire network shooting!"

A mechanical sound was heard, followed by countless flames. The dense firepower formed a crisscrossing net, accelerating the demise of the insect swarm.

Mu Yi looked up and found a large group of mecha-like things. These mechas obviously had a very good understanding of the Zerg. They used extremely efficient firepower to annihilate the Zerg, which was even more efficient than Mu Yi's sea of ​​fire.

The attacks launched by the mecha are not bullets in the conventional sense.

It's more like a collection of some kind of particles, or should we call it an energy bullet.

Those fully saturated energy particles have extremely strong penetrating power and, in a sense, are a conceptual form of attack similar to spell strikes with super-magic penetration capabilities.

This also made Mu Yi realize another weakness of the Zerg. When faced with intensive and short-term attacks, they were unable to assimilate in time and breed new Zerg.

It can only be killed by this particle-state attack at a very high and efficient speed.

Mu Yi watched with interest the mecha troops that annihilated the Zerg. The other side did not attack him and consciously controlled the range of damage to avoid affecting him.

"Hey, bro, are you from ZZ.com?"

A mecha warrior landed in front of Mu Yi from high above and greeted him.

Although he couldn't understand the other party's language, the meaning of the words reached Mu Yi's ears in a strange way. "My name is Heracles! I'm also a Zongwang player!"

"We still have to continue patrolling. If you go east, you will see a huge city. It is the only gathering place here. Maybe it will have what you need."

"Thank you!"

Mu Yi nodded. He didn't expect that in this almost doomsday world, there was still a complete social order. It was really surprising.

"You are a strong guy. If you are interested, you can take some bounty missions. The rewards are pretty good. That's how I got this mecha!"

The mecha warrior looked at the almost scarlet warning on his mecha interface and said with forced calmness, the mechanical voice actually concealed his mood.

"Unit form: humanoid

Unit Type: Network Player

Unit Danger Level: Extremely dangerous! Extremely dangerous! Extremely dangerous! "

Mu Yi did not expose the panic of the online player in front of him. After all, the other party was showing goodwill, not just tricks.

"Is this kind of big insect common in this world?" Mu Yi asked about the topic that he was concerned about.

"Of course, one appears almost every once in a while. If they didn't just breed bugs, we would have been unable to stop them long ago!" Herac was a little disappointed.

The level of technological development here is not low, but everyone who witnesses the swarm of insects near the sun will feel despair. They seem to have no hope.

All we can do is wait for the countdown to final destruction little by little.

However, this is a paradise for network players, with all kinds of people gathered in the final gathering place.

Following Herac's guidance, Mu Yi flew to the so-called gathering point.

A huge energy barrier enveloped this final gathering point, but what puzzled Mu Yi was that this huge energy barrier did not seem to be an ordinary barrier, but an absolute defense constructed with some kind of divine power.

Even based on Mu Yi's current strength, it would be extremely difficult to break this thing.

And inside the barrier, it was not the high-tech city that Mu Yi had imagined, but looked more like some kind of ancient city. However, the difference was that the outermost city wall was integrated with this circle of barriers.

Or to put it simply, the power of the barrier comes from this circle of barriers.

Mu Yi landed at the gate of the city wall, where a large number of soldiers were stationed. Compared with those mecha warriors, these soldiers in front of him were more like medieval knights, but they exuded an extraordinary aura.

"Welcome."

When Mu Yi approached the city, the soldier guarding the city handed Mu Yi a bracelet, which looked like some kind of communicator.

"This is identification. If you carry it, the automatic defense system won't be triggered!"

"Telivar will not refuse any traveler, but please do not violate the order here, otherwise we will expel and judge you according to the law!"

The knight told Mu Yi in a very gentle manner about the general situation of this gathering place called Tellivar.

When talking about order, Mu Yi felt the fluctuation of some kind of power from him. Like the Zerg, he seemed to be an individual practicing on the path of order.

Mu Yi is not an antisocial person, he is quite curious about this world.

Compared to the environment of Jiuzhou where everything is planned, the battle world of Zongwang seems to be freer and more unrestrained, and also more flashy.

"Temporary number SAZ3250, welcome."

As the Knight of Order issued a pass, Mu Yi walked slowly into the city. Just as the Knight of Order said, the bracelet was proof of identity. When Mu Yi stepped into the city, the bracelet seemed to be activated by something and made a welcoming sound.

“Interesting place!”

Mu Yi felt extremely rich colors in the city, and various forces were entrenched here. He felt that he could live in this place for a while.

This seems to be a good place for cultivation.

Of course, more importantly, Mu Yi wanted to learn something about the Zerg.

Before that, he followed the instructions on his wristband and went to the personnel department of the gathering point for testing.

"Please use your ability on the target, the energy meter will automatically evaluate it..."

The receptionist from the Human Resources Department looked at Mu Yi and said with a smile. Her expression looked very calm, showing her good psychological quality.

Mu Yi felt a kind of harmonious power from her, a power that made people feel like they were in a spring breeze when they came into contact with this receptionist.

Mu Yi stretched out his hand and pressed towards the so-called target.

After a roar, the target was completely destroyed.

Immediately afterwards, the so-called evaluation instrument made a sound.

Rating Information:

Type: Spell (no casting time)
Attribute: Physical destruction (spell energy)
Impact range: 1 meter (extremely precise control)
Power level: Level 31

Final rating: Country-annihilating level (strategic rating)

"Dear powerful man, Talival welcomes you and pays you the highest respects!"

The receptionist's attitude was even more respectful. Mu Yi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that such a place could almost accurately assess the power of his attack.

This seems to be more than just an ordinary gathering place.

"I will now enter your information. According to your strength assessment, you will enjoy higher city privileges."

At this moment, new progress information began to refresh on Mu Yi's retina:

"It is detected that the player has met the relevant conditions. The character has opened a branch camp: the Cosmic Company is stationed in Telirval, and the City Builders defend the camp."

"The player faction has been updated and cannot be changed through normal procedures within one month."
