Kill the Protozoa

【Destroy the "Evil Locust Nest"】

[Destroy the "Mutated Insect Nest" (3/?)]

The headless body of the locust man trembled and fell down.

A long string of information prompts flashed quickly before my eyes.

Zhou Yan staggered as he landed.

The next second, his injuries from the locust man's attack were healed by half under the effect of the "absorption" circuit.

The internal organs protected by the inner side of the ribs ached slightly, and the originally broken ribs were cured into relatively serious bone fractures.

"I have to go out and find some more creatures to kill and restore my health."

Zhou Yan thought so, but these minor injuries did not affect his current actions.

He reached out and touched the headless corpse of the locust man - he was very eager to know what level of monster this guy was and how he could have such speed and strength that it was extremely difficult for him to deal with.

[Destruction Protozoa: Malice Locust]

[Type: Disaster (Demon Insect)]

[Description: A product of the combination and mutation of an ordinary Orthoptera insect and a Chaos Silverstone. The exoskeleton, jumping ability, and poisonous body of a locust have been enhanced to an exaggerated degree under the influence of the power of chaos.]

[Rating: 0 stars, level 3]

[Attributes: Physical strength 37, Agility 34, Spirit 15]

[Note: reproduction, expansion, gnawing, and the disaster of moth erosion! ]

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

Zhou Yan looked a little confused.

The opponent was the expected third level.

However, just from those few descriptions, it is not possible to explain why it can compete with his fused state.

Don’t think too much about it, just use it as the fusion material for this harvest.

Zhou Yan's mind moved slightly.

The headless body of the locust man, along with the head that fell to the side, shattered into starlight.

Two illusory and gorgeous cards appeared before his eyes.

The one on the left is the familiar Ye Lian Huo Sword.

In the photo on the right, the image quickly changes from hazy nothingness to the image of a black locust.
[The Chaos Creature "Destroyer Protozoa, Malice Locust" has been included as a material for the talent "Super Fusion"]

Looking at the two gorgeous cards in front of him, Zhou Yan focused his mind on the newly acquired materials.

He tentatively confirmed his thoughts.

'Hyperfusion - form change!'

Time paused for a moment.

The image of "Ye Lian evildoer" on Zhou Yan instantly collapsed, revealing his true identity as a man wearing a tight-fitting life suit.

The next moment, countless lights enveloped him again.

[Activate Talent: Super Fusion]

[Fusion material: Borer protozoa, malicious locust]

The shadow of a black locust emerged and overlapped with Zhou Yan in the light.

The appearance of the person wearing the life-threatening attire changed in an instant.

The entire body, including the head, was completely covered with a gray-black, gold-like exoskeleton that looked like armor. The head and facial features were also completely protected, and the originally intact left eye was covered with a layer of azure outer membrane similar to the compound eye structure of locusts or mantises.

The right eye is also covered by an outer membrane, but unlike the left eye, the membrane on this side is pale white with dark red eye lines around the outer circle.

The exoskeleton of the body is covered with ominous purple lines all over.

The most important thing is that Zhou Yan’s left hand, which was originally broken at the wrist, is now intact, but the exoskeleton at this position is different in color from other parts of the body and is also pale.

【Fusion completed】

*
"Armor of the Borer."

Zhou Yan stood there silently, and the voice coming from under the exoskeleton seemed strangely out of tune.

The new fusion form is somewhat different from the locust man he killed. The main body of the locust man is insects, which have mutated into a standing human form.

His main body is human, and after the fusion of the life suit and locust, it turned into a form similar to exoskeleton armor.

Overall, it looks somewhat similar to the Kamen Rider in some special effects dramas he has seen on Earth.

He slowly raised his left arm in front of his eyes, surprise and joy showing in his eyes.

Although it can be felt that this left hand is a hollow structure made entirely of "exoskeleton", there is nothing inside.

But strictly speaking, this exoskeleton is not just his "armor", but a part of his "body".

He can perfectly control this part of the exoskeleton, making it move like his own hand, and can also accurately feel the touch transmitted to him by the exoskeleton.

This is no different from a real hand.

In addition to this, this new form has many differences from his previous forms.

For example, the "compound eye membrane" covering the outside of his eyes really allows him to gain special vision like the compound eyes of an insect.

The clarity is low, but the photosensitivity and dynamic vision are extremely strong. Combined with Zhou Yan's original conventional human vision, his overall vision has become terrifying.

The most important things are the two skills that come with this fusion form - "Locust Kicks" and "Blood Mist Mode".

When Zhou Yan was in this form, he naturally understood the capabilities of these two skills.

At the same time, he also understood why the locust man could, with the strength of the third level, actually fight against his fusion form with double the attributes of an ordinary third level.

Both of Ye Lian Huo Tu's skills are related to the special effects of miasma flames, which are similar to energy damage.

Using the sword of disaster to cut the illusory traces in the vision of the "Eye of Disaster" can trigger the miasma and cause additional burning damage.

Using "Black Lotus", you can blast out a large amount of miasma through the black lotus on your left arm, which can also cause large-scale explosion and burning damage.

However, neither of these two skills will directly enhance Zhou Yan's "physical" abilities.

This Locust Armor is different. Its two skills are similar to the effects displayed by the Locust Man when Zhou Yan fought against him.
This is a physically specialized powerful form.

If he were to use the Armor of Locust to fight against himself, the evildoer of Karma Lotus, there would be no doubt that he could defeat him.

*
Anyway, there is no combat target to test at the moment, so Zhou Yan put away the thoughts of evaluating his own strength.

He set his sights on other spoils.

Four rune factors, a new rune circuit - big explosion.

Overall, it was in line with the gains he had gained from this unexpectedly hard battle.

Four rune factors are enough to upgrade the life equipment, which already has seven rune columns.

However, before advancing, he still needs to confirm which rune circuit he should equip for advancement.

Now he has three rune circuits - "Broken", "Secret" and the newly acquired "Unbroken".

He already knew the effects of fragmentation and secrecy.

And this unbroken circuit was more to his liking than the other two.
