Chapter 651 Guan Xiao's miraculous new catastrophic ability (ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket!)
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Guan Xiao twice more.

As Qiu Tu's most caring subordinate, Guan Xiao is the most charming and seductive of all the women around him.

Normally, she is radiant and gorgeous, but today she seems even more charming and enchanting.

It's hard to describe that feeling. If I have to say it, it's that the person is still the same person, but it's like the whole person has been reborn, and the person is shining.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's heart moved, and then he asked, "Advanced?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's question, Guan Xiao nodded with a smile.

Her aura was slightly revealed, and the aura of a third-stage early Catastrophist was immediately apparent.

During this period, in order to be able to advance to the eighth level, Qiu Tu integrated all the resources of the three major shelters.

Most of these resources were used by him and Zhao Ji, but a small portion was also distributed to his trusted subordinates.

Therefore, the strength of the people around Qiu Tu all increased dramatically.

Guan Xiao was promoted from the middle stage of the second stage to the third stage, which can only be said to be very passable.

However, when a Cataclysm reaches the third level, he will be reborn and use the power of Cataclysm to reshape his body.

Furthermore, no matter how many diseases, defects, or hidden illnesses the body had, they will all be restored after being promoted to the third level.

This also explains Guan Xiao’s changes.

However, the third-order Cataclysm is not enough for Qiu Tu now.

Some of his dark soldiers were even at the fourth and fifth levels, and the enemies were all at the eighth level.

In comparison, Guan Xiao's third level is not even cannon fodder.

If Guan Xiao had not been capable, obedient, sensible, and able to provide emotional value to Qiu Tu, she would have been marginalized long ago.

Of course, people are all made of flesh and blood. Guan Xiao is also an old man around Qiu Tu, and he is the one who serves Qiu Tu the most on weekdays. He has deeply implemented the strategic policy of "Guan Xiao does it when there is something to do, and Guan Xiao does it when there is nothing to do."

Therefore, Qiu Tu now has a very deep relationship with her.

Now that he saw Guan Xiao's strength improve, he knew she was happy. So although Qiu Tu didn't care, he still gave her some emotional value at the right time.

He retracted his gaze, and continued to practice swordplay in front of Zhao Ji, chatting casually, "Not bad, not bad, you've reached level three so quickly."

After saying this, thinking that he was already at level eight, Qiu Tu felt like he was cursing someone. So he decisively changed the subject, "By the way, now that I'm at level three, I should have gained a new ability to catastrophize, right?"

Before becoming a god, the catastrophists at levels 1, 3, and 5 will each gain a catastrophic ability. That's why Qiu Tu asked this question.

Sure enough, this topic successfully hit Guan Xiao's point. She winked at Qiu Tu charmingly, then smiled sweetly and said, "Yes."

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the relationship between the two is one of life and death. But their interests are definitely tied together. They prosper together and suffer together. A catastrophic ability is not a secret.

So, Qiu Tu just asked casually, "What's your name?"

Guan Xiao said with a grin, "Infection."

"Infection?" Upon hearing this strange name of the catastrophic ability, Qiu Tu paused.

He looked at Guan Xiao hesitantly and asked, "Isn't your ability related to "Insect Bird"? "

"How did it suddenly become an infection?"

Guan Xiao's catastrophic ability is called "Mother Worm", and the effect is that her spirit can condense into a mother worm that is connected to her.

Then, through the queen insect, she can have a 360-degree field of vision without blind spots, and can control small creatures such as insects and birds, and communicate with them.

Back then in New Territories City, Guan Xiao’s intelligence capabilities were so outstanding largely due to this ability.

At this time, after hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao's expression became even brighter. She seemed to be hiding something happy, holding back her smile, and then said, "Yes. My ability is related to "Insects and Birds."

"But, this doesn't mean that my second ability can't be "Infection"."

Among Qiu Tu's women, Guan Xiao's intelligence is one of the best. The way she is squeezing toothpaste like this obviously means she has something on her mind.

So, Qiu Tu simply stopped what he was doing and looked at Guan Xiao, waiting for her performance.

Sure enough, seeing Qiu Tu stop, Guan Xiao also started to get serious.

She did not explain her second "catastrophic ability" first, but instead talked about the information about the "puppet ants".

She said, "Sir, before we talk about my abilities, I would like to first report to you about the situation of the Puppet Ant."

Qiu Tu looked at Guan Xiao, nodded slightly, and gestured with his hand.

Guan Xiao, "In the past two days, I have followed your orders and started to investigate and check in major cities."

"We focused on cities that were relatively close to the Northeast region. However, we did not find anything."

"However, I did not take it lightly, but tried to let the "Insect Queen" control more birds and mosquitoes to infiltrate the disaster area."

"After infiltrating several cities, I actually found some clues."

Qiu Tu's eyes were deep and thoughtful, as if he had thought of something.

Guan Xiao: "I found that among the anti-government armed forces in the disaster area, some 'fake people' have gradually appeared."

"Pseudo-human?" Qiu Tu muttered the name, and then asked, "Is it a human controlled by the "puppet ant"? "

Guan Xiao nodded, her expression turning serious. She said, "Yes. Those humans are just like other creatures. Their souls and consciousness are trapped in their brains, and they have become a shell."

"But their bodies are occupied by the puppet ants and they have become the hosts of the puppet ants."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly to show that he was listening.

Guan Xiao's expression became more and more serious. She said, "When I was investigating, I found that these "puppet ants" were very extraordinary."

"Not only do they possess a certain level of intelligence, but all their thoughts can be linked together to form a 'mental network'."

"In the 'mental network', their thoughts can be shared or contacted even if they are thousands of miles apart."

"Moreover, the spiritual power between them can be gathered and borrowed."

"So, don't be fooled by their small size, they are actually very powerful creatures."

"And," Guan Xiao paused and said, "Their entire race is made up of 'disaster creatures'."

"That is to say, there are no ordinary individuals in their group. They are superior to most races since birth."

Qiu Tu was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Although he had heard of some powerful races that were born as catastrophic creatures, he really didn't expect that a tiny insect could be like that.

At this time, Guan Xiao's expression became more serious and earnest. She said, "These past few days, I have also carefully studied the habits of the "puppet ants."

"I found that they are very similar to ants. They are all built around the queen ant. In a tribe, there is a queen mother, priests, and soldiers. There is a clear division of labor."

"The Queen Mother is the core of the entire tribe. She is usually only at the second level of strength, with average strength, but a high status."

"The Priests are the most powerful Puppet Ants. When they mature, they will definitely grow to the third level, completely transformed, and possess two Catastrophic Abilities."

"On weekdays, they are responsible for protecting the queen mother and commanding the "soldiers."

"And the 'Soldiers' are the most common 'Puppet Ants'. They are generally of the first-level strength, and the stronger ones may reach the peak of the first level or even the second level."

"Their main purpose is to find disaster resources and new hosts."

"When new disaster resources and hosts are found, they will be brought back to the Queen Mother."

"As long as the "Queen Mother" absorbs the power and resources of the catastrophe, she can "lay eggs asexually" and hatch new "puppet ants." "

"The new 'puppet ants' will parasitize the host, then transform into 'pseudo-humans' and continue to develop."

“It is this complete set of processes that allows Puppet Ant to grow rapidly.”

At this point, Guan Xiao paused, then said, "But, sir. I believe you have heard the problem with this."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, his face serious, "Yes."

He said, "If the Puppet Ant tribe wants to develop rapidly, it needs the power of catastrophe and catastrophe materials."

"Although the disaster zone cannot be said to be a complete ruin, there are not many disaster materials. This should not be able to support the large-scale development of "Puppet Ants"."

"But, you just said that you found traces of the Puppet Ants after infiltrating several cities. This may mean that the Puppet Ants have already become a disaster in the Disaster Zone."

“That doesn’t square with their lack of resources.”

"so."

Guan Xiao smiled and continued with Qiu Tu's words, "So, these "puppet ants" must have been fed intentionally by someone."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly. His analysis was the same as Guan Xiao's.

However, although the information about the "Puppet Ants" was known, it seemed to have little to do with Guan Xiao's new catastrophic ability "Infection".

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Guan Xiao, and then asked, "What does this have to do with your new catastrophe ability?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao smiled and said, "Sir, this is really very relevant."

"Because my new catastrophic ability was inspired by the Puppet Ant."

She looked far away and said, "Actually, before I met you, I never thought that I would come here one day and become a third-level Cataclysm."

"A third-level Cataclysm was the second-highest combat power of Shelter 8 at that time." "Plus, my Cataclysm path is too niche, so I don't have any plans for my own "Path of Cataclysm"."

"Because... I don't know how to upgrade the "Life-Insect-Bird" path and how to move forward."

"To control bigger birds? Or to control more mosquitoes?"

Speaking of this, Guan Xiao's expression became serious. "Besides, their lives are too short compared to humans. I need to replace a group of helpers almost every once in a while."

“This makes me extremely pessimistic about my future path. This is also the reason why my progress in the Cataclysm Path is so slow.”

After talking about his past, Guan Xiao paused for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "But this time, I saw the "Puppet Bug", and I suddenly seemed to have found my own path."

Her eyes gradually brightened, and her expression became more and more confident. She said, "I suddenly realized that I shouldn't be obsessed with each individual. Isn't the advantage of insects and birds that there are more of them? Isn't it that they appear in groups?"

"If that's the case, why can't I control each group directly like the Puppet Ants?"

"And since ordinary insects and birds have short lives, why don't I control the insect-like catastrophic creatures?!"

As she spoke of this, Guan Xiao's face became more and more cheerful. She said, "Once this idea came to me, I couldn't help it."

"So, I began to try to fine-tune my own catastrophe path, and when I was practicing and advancing, I kept deducing my own catastrophe path and the direction of the catastrophe ability I wanted to obtain."

"As a result, when I advanced to the third level, my catastrophe pathway actually changed, and I actually gained the catastrophe ability I wanted."

Hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Zhao Ji.

Qiu Tu still remembered that when Zhao Ji was giving him popular science education, she had said that the "catastrophic path" of catastrophic creatures was not static.

The "Path of Disaster" is the spirit of the living being, and is related to the subconscious of the living being. It is the path they most want to take in the past and present.

Therefore, if a creature undergoes a major change, or was immature before but is now mature, her path to catastrophe is likely to change.

At that time, when Qiu Tu learned about this phenomenon, he found it very interesting. He did not expect to see it with his own eyes now.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask, "Then what has your catastrophe path become?"

Guan Xiao's eyes were firm, "Life - Swarm."

Qiu Tu looked thoughtful. Guan Xiao's approach was equivalent to becoming more sophisticated, giving up "flying birds" and turning to "specializing" in "insects."

Moreover, she did indeed change from an "individual (insect)" to a "collective (swarm)" as she had just said.

This change has its pros and cons, but it has indeed strengthened Guan Xiao's control over the insect colony.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu had some guesses about Guan Xiao’s new catastrophic ability.

He said, "So, your new Cataclysm ability, Infection, is actually used on an entire swarm to speed up your control?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao smiled and nodded, and then she said, "After changing the "Cataclysm Path", my path to advancement has become extremely clear."

"The stronger the individual insects I control, the greater their number, the stronger their overall strength will be, and the stronger I will be."

"Although this will make me and the Zerg share the same fate, it will also make my strength soar by leaps and bounds."

"And the ability to 'infect' is also related to my path."

"When I come into contact with an insect, the 'Insect Queen' will release a special catastrophic force 'Insect Plague' to infect that insect."

"The Insect Plague will absorb the insect's catastrophic power, spiritual power, and life force, and then generate and accumulate in its body."

"And when that insect comes into contact with insects of its own species, the plague will spread to those insects, infecting them, and so on."

"When more than 50% of an insect colony is infected, I will gain control of that insect colony, and the 'Insect Queen' will also have the ability to link and control those insects."

"It is precisely because of how special this ability is that I named it "Infection"."

Qiu Tu had a thoughtful expression on his face.

I have to say that Guan Xiao's new ability is really interesting. From controlling individual insects, he can now directly control the group and usurp control of the insect swarm.

This will indeed bring about a qualitative change in Guan Xiao's abilities.

This would not only increase her "development efficiency" several times, but would also greatly expand her intelligence range.

After all, Qiu Tu did not forget that this ability was derived from the spiritual connection of the "puppet worm".

Guan Xiao also said that the "Insect Queen" can link those insects, which means that the intelligence transmission method of the new ability will no longer be the previous many-to-one: multiple insects report to Guan Xiao; but a large network-based intelligence structure.

As long as there are swarms of insects controlled by Guan Xiao at certain distances, her spies can be spread all over the world!
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of the "puppet worm" again.

Guan Xiao gave up "controlling birds" in exchange for "insect mastery". She also mentioned controlling insect-like catastrophic creatures before.

so.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu suddenly understood why Guan Xiao was so abnormal and excited today.

He couldn't help but look at Guan Xiao, and then asked, "So, you used your new ability "Infection" on the "Puppet Bug"? "

Guan Xiao's face really broke into a smile when he heard that.

She said, "Yes. After I was promoted, I immediately went to the "Disaster Zone" to control a few "Puppet Bugs" and then used "Infection" on them."

"Right now, the 'insect plague' is still in the latent and replicating stage, and it has only controlled more than 30 'puppet insects'."

"As it spreads more and more, the plague absorbs more and more catastrophic power, infects more and more people, and there will definitely be a major outbreak."

"As long as I get more than half of them, I can seize the "control of the tribe" from the "Puppet Insect Queen"."

"By then, there will be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of puppet insect armies, and each of them will have physical fitness and strength that exceeds that of ordinary people."

Guan Xiao was so happy that he could hardly close his mouth. "My strength is likely to increase rapidly."

"Level 4, Level 5, and even Level 6 are not a dream."

At this point, Guan Xiao paused and said with a smile in his eyes,
"Especially when I think about that mysterious person, who kept spending resources to cultivate "puppet worms" in order to mess up the "Northwest Region", I feel even more refreshed."

Qiu Tu couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.

Indeed, just as Guan Xiao said, the mysterious person who cultivated the "puppet worm" obviously had bad intentions. He was most likely targeting the "Northwest Shelter".

But who would have known that the catastrophic abilities of Guan Xiao's two "insect controllers" would completely defeat each other, not only rendering the mysterious man's plans ineffective, but also paving the way for Guan Xiao.

This is indeed a happy thing to think about.

In addition, is the "puppet worm" also considered a living being? Can we also add a comprehensive evaluation for Qiu Tu?
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Guan Xiao with more attention.

It has to be said that the original Guan Xiao only had ability value, emotional value and physical value to Qiu Tu.

Now that Guan Xiao has fine-tuned his catastrophic abilities and completely opened up his upward channel, he has truly become a partner that Qiu Tu can trust.

Qiu Tu has no other advantages except that he is lustful and considerate to his female subordinates.

Now that Guan Xiao’s potential has become so strong, don’t forget that the “Northeast Region” and “Southeast Region” also seem to be being invaded by “puppet bugs”.

There were many "puppet worms" of unknown strength among them. How many points could they help Qiu Tu improve?

Therefore, Guan Xiao's ability, at least in this "Trial of the Gods", is S-level.

Therefore, Qiu Tu also waved his hand and directly approved dozens of trucks of disaster materials and resources for Guan Xiao to help her continue to be promoted and improve her strength.

Guan Xiao was of course excited to accept the order, then went down to collect resources and continue to "infect" the puppet worms.
Just like that, he watched Guan Xiao leave. Qiu Tu paused for a moment at the "96" loyalty point above Guan Xiao's head, then turned around and looked at Zhao Ji beside him.

He smiled and said, "I didn't expect that a disaster that so many experts were helpless to solve would be solved by Guan Xiao."

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji, who had witnessed the entire conversation between the two, said calmly, "I remember you told me that there is a saying in your hometown, which is "Don't open champagne at halftime."

"From your conversation just now, Guan Xiao is likely to be able to solve the "puppet plague" in the "Northwest Region."

"But no one knows how long the Northeast and Northwest regions have been developing, and no one knows what those puppet insects have evolved into."

"So, it's better to be cautious."

Hearing Zhao Ji's reminder, Qiu Tu was suddenly startled, and then quickly calmed down.

Zhao Ji was right, she was indeed infected by Guan Xiao's excitement just now.

This is a big taboo for those in power.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Ji, wanting to reflect on himself.

As a result, at this moment, Zhao Ji suddenly looked at Qiu Tu and said lightly, "However, compared to her ability to restrain the "Puppet Bug", I am more surprised by you."

At this point, Zhao Ji paused, then said, "You actually learned how to "open the sky"?"

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but look at Zhao Ji.

Did he hear it wrong? There seemed to be a hint of admiration and amazement in Zhaoji's tone?

Is she bragging about herself?
Is this still the king who is so arrogant and doesn't care about anyone?
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

After being surprised, a thought popped up in his mind: Could it be that I have been licking Zhao Ji to pleasure during this period of time?
Is this glacier finally melting and starting to release water?
