Chapter 257 Star Insect Intelligence
Instead of attacking, the star worm swarm retreated to the sides, making way for the humanoid star worm that floated through the passage and hovered 20 meters away from Mo Yu.

Mo Yu saw what the thing looked like.

A humanoid creature with six arms, four thick and two thin ones curled up on its chest, its body covered with a bluish-green exoskeleton, and it looked very ugly.

This thing spoke in a human voice, exclaiming in a very exaggerated manner: "Ah! What a powerful and wonderful soul! ~You~ are the native life form that the King is looking for, very good, very good! ...No, why are you a male?"

"That means you've got the wrong person," Mo Yu replied, already prepared to attack.

The high-intelligence star worms that can speak human language are the true elite among them; those that cannot speak and are only controlled by pheromones can only be considered tools.

The worm said, "Oh, it's alright. Brain transplantation is easy. I'll prepare a strong female body for you."

"Die."

Without wasting words, Mo Yu drew his sword and activated his skill.

A thousand shadows overlap the waves.

Countless blades flashed, slashing at the head worm from all directions.

The worm's body developed glowing patterns that covered its entire body, as if it were wrapped in LED light strips.

Its four arms swung rapidly, shattering all the blade light in an instant, effortlessly breaking through the opponent's attacks.

This thing is extremely powerful.

Mo Yu made a judgment after only a brief contact.

rewind.

Let's go back to before the attack.

Only by using all our strength can we have any chance of killing the opponent.

Mo Yu's body split open, releasing a mirror image that rushed towards the head worm.

No magic was used.

It's just basic basic attack harassment.

This worm is a melee unit. Its body is surrounded by a very special field, giving the impression that it is a third-stage evolution, but the power it can exert exceeds the limits.

Face-to-face with fists.

At the moment of impact, Mo Yu felt as if he had hit a colossal object, like kicking a stone and ending up with a protrusion connected to the ground, except that the object was connected to an even more unfathomable void.

Unmatched.

The mirror image shows a direct fracture and breakage of the right arm.

After gaining attribute points, he had already raised his physical attributes to 40.5. With the additional bonuses from Alice and Elise, he was able to easily lift a thousand-ton boulder, yet he was unable to budge his opponent.

This is no longer simply physical strength; biological structures cannot withstand this level of power. It is a power of rules that connects to the void.

Star worms are visitors from outer space; they are powerful beings wandering in the universe, and elite individuals naturally possess extraordinary powers.

The first mirror image dissipates.

The next mirror image followed immediately.

Countless mirror images rushed in, only to dissipate after a single strike. Under the cover of these images, Mo Yu's true form gripped the Miao sword and began to gather all of his magical power.

Magic power surges.

This forms a terrifying energy tide.

The surrounding star worms sensed the anomaly and tried to stop him, but were intercepted by the emerging mirror image. With ample time to gather his strength, he successfully completed the sixth move of the Phantom Sword Technique.

Thousand-blade spiral star.

Centered on Mo Yu, countless blade lights appeared, and a silver-white sword storm emerged, swirling, blooming, and covering the entire field.

The wind stopped.

The air is quiet.

A flower carved with knife marks bloomed on the ground. Mo Yu stood at the heart of the flower, and the dense marks spread outward, covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters.

After a brief silence, a torrential downpour began. Green, blood-red rain fell, accompanied by chunks of flesh and mangled limbs of star worms, covering the entire ground.

Mo Yu exhaled a breath of stale air.

His face was deathly pale.

This single move completely drained his physical strength and magical power, even causing his soul tentacles to weaken and shrink in size.

“Damn it…humans…I…am so angry!…”

Intermittent sounds came.

Fifty meters away, the head worm crawled up from the ground. It looked extremely miserable, as if it had been stuffed into a meat grinder, with knife marks all over its head and toes pointing in one direction.

Mo Yu's pupils contracted.

He saw something familiar.

A black light appeared, enveloping the head worm from a distance.

Black light!

Flesh and veins spread from its feet, covering the surroundings like a large net. Any star worm remains and blood that the net touched would quickly dissolve and disappear. Nutrients gathered along the net, and the head worm's body regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

at this time.

A dazzling blue plasma ball appeared, its blinding light illuminating a kilometer radius. The enormous blue-white plasma ball flew over and struck the head worm precisely.

"No!!!"……

Amidst the piercing screams of agony, the severely wounded head worm was completely reduced to charred remains.

Mo Yu was stunned.

Blanch!
They're stealing kills!

He glanced at the panel.

If it doesn't count as a kill, let's rewind and let the tank fire first, then he finishes off the enemy. Luckily, the kill countdown appears on the panel.

Its name is Star Bug Brain, a third-stage evolution, and it grants one skill point.

A bit shabby.

Fortunately, with this move, he also killed over a thousand of the enemy's henchmen, including many who were not of the same species and were third or fourth evolutions. With one strike, they gained six attribute points.

There are already more than ten species of star worms recorded in the monster encyclopedia, and it becomes increasingly difficult to farm attribute points as you progress.

rewind.

Let the mirror image compensate for the physical exhaustion and wear and tear on the body. Mo Yu's main body retreats, and after the plasma cannon kills the Star Worm AI, he immediately rushes forward and uses his soul tentacles to capture the dissipating black light.

[Absorbing Time Fragments, Current Collection Progress: 51%]

This time it only grew by 10%.

A little less.

Previously, it was increased by more than 15%.

This guy is just a minor boss. If this thing is possessed by the black light, then could the king they mentioned also be possessed by the black light?
Probably.

There was no time for Mo Yu to think too much. This place was not suitable for him to stay for long. He retrieved the Miao sword and returned to the chariot.

"Thug, are you alright?"

The group members gathered around, showing great concern.

Mo Yu said, "It's alright. We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's leave quickly."

Firefox asked, "Which way should we go?"

"Let's go this way."

Mo Yu randomly pointed to a level on the map that led to the next level, then sat down to rest and wait for his magic power to recover.

He is currently in a state of magic overdraft.

The current connection with the void is pretty good, and with Alice's bonus, it will take about a day to fully recover.

At this point, a bottle of magic potion would be just what you need.

The amount of magic that the body can naturally recover per unit of time is limited; it is not a percentage-based recovery.

The rate of magic absorption cannot keep up with the increase in the total amount of magic. As strength increases, the time required to replenish all magic will also increase.

Mo Yu felt a little regretful.

He can only replenish Alice's mana, but not the other way around; drinking honey water has no effect.

Mo Yu closed his eyes to rest.

His cultivation method automatically replenishes his mana, leaving him little room for manipulation.

The tank started up and quickly escaped.

Two hours later, the chariot was attacked. A white light flashed, and the chariot was split in two. The white light flashed again, and the chariot was completely destroyed and turned into fragments.

Apart from Firefox and Ink Feather, all the other members were dismembered.

Mo Yu finally saw the attackers clearly.

It was a 3-meter-tall, seven-colored mantis, a sixth-stage evolutionary form, and the other party was feasting on the corpse.

A massive number of star worms appeared, surrounding the area. As far as the eye could see, they were all fifth or sixth-stage evolved beings, led by three star worm AIs.

This has stirred up a hornet's nest.

Mo Yu was about to rewind when he noticed the three Star Insect AIs communicating. He found a translator to eavesdrop and overheard an interesting conversation.

"This soul is exceptionally powerful, and its frequency is perfectly synchronized. Which one is the one the king wants?"

"It should be this female."

What should we do with this male?

"Take it back with you."
