High-level martial arts: Contract cashback, invincible starting from the Zerg.

The Crimson Clan is a swarm civilization of collective will, based in the permafrost plains of the North and occupying millions of square kilometers of territory in the mountains. It is centered around the Crimson Queen.

Relying on the continuous expansion of the "Purple Creeping Fungus" in these natural territories, the Purple Creeping Insectoids' hive territory has long since transformed the entire frozen land into a living domain.

...

At this moment, on Hill 73.

The entire highland, from the foot of the mountain to the summit, was completely covered by a thick layer of purple mycelium.

Purple mycelium spread like a tide through every crevice of the rocks and penetrated deep into the permafrost layer. Even the granite and permafrost, which were originally as hard as iron, were softened and made porous by the mycelium.

The surface of the fungal carpet does not simply cover the ground; rather, it assimilates the rocks and soil of the entire mountain into its own tissue, transforming them into undulating insect tunnels.

At the highest point of these intricate insect nest territories, a translucent mound of flesh, more than ten meters high, rises.

This is the small Zerg mother hive where the Purple Zerg have taken root.

The main body of the mother nest is an irregular ellipsoid, with dozens of crystal-like breathing tubes protruding from the top of the mother nest, continuously spewing out spore mist carrying heat, while the outer wall undulates slightly with a certain constant rhythm.

Each pulse seemed to resonate with the main nest hundreds of kilometers away.

Around the high insect nest, groups of Ice Claw Berserker Insects were patrolling the area.

Their pincers still held fragments of human corpses that had not been cleaned properly, and their compound eyes glowed with a faint purple light, as if they could clearly capture the fluctuations of wind and snow within a radius of hundreds of meters.

These Ice Claw Berserkers, measuring 1.6 meters in length and 1 meter in shoulder height, make up almost 87% of the Purple Clan's troops due to their formidable combat capabilities and excellent camouflage.

It is also the mainstay that has enabled the Purple Zerg to gain the upper hand in their repeated battles against humans.

Near the insect nest, hundreds of purple patrolling insects were quietly lurking.

These tiny creatures, no more than 0.2 meters long, fly at extremely high speeds.

However, their combat capabilities are extremely weak, simply because they are the "eyes" of the swarm, and their role is almost limited to helping the swarm mark targets and quickly scout unknown areas.

On a small hill on the flank of Hill 73.

Chen Feng crouched on the rock ledge, his "Ice Locust" bomb gun slowly locking onto a patrolling squad of Ice Claw Berserker Insects a hundred meters away.

Bang--!

A muffled gunshot shattered the deathly silence of the icy plain.

The ice locust bomb exploded instantly. The soldier insect didn't even have time to make a sound before its dark purple chitinous carapace was torn into pieces by the shockwave, and its purplish-black blood splattered everywhere.

"Go." Chen Feng said into the communication channel.

The next moment, the soldiers of the company also picked up their automatic rifles, and while keeping an eye out for possible enemy attacks, they advanced toward Hill 73.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng's gun continued to fire at the distant Ice Claw Berserker Insects without stopping, as he approached the insect nest on Hill 73.

Just then, the purple fungal carpet, which had been undulating slowly, suddenly accelerated its pulsation frequency.

Like a heart suddenly awakened, realizing that danger is approaching.

The pale purple spores that filled the air surged and churned violently, and the once quiet snow mountain began to emit countless low, grinding sounds, as if a huge rock had been thrown into it.

The next second, the entire permafrost hills came to life!

The sound of ice cracking came from all directions, and the surface snow and frozen soil were pushed aside. One after another, thick limbs covered with purplish-black ice armor broke out of the ground, followed by heavy bodies, icy pincers that gleamed coldly, and pairs of compound eyes that lit up with a dark purple light.

Ten, a hundred... a thousand!

Within moments, thousands of Ice Claw Berserker Insects surged forth from around the insect nest on Hill 73. They gathered in perfect unison around the Purple Insect Nest, their segments driven into the soft frozen soil, their pincers held horizontally in front of their chests, remaining perfectly still, just like elite human warriors.

There was no screaming, no chaos, only an extreme sense of order.

What are they waiting for?

Chen Feng frowned slightly. Even though they were so far from the mother hive, the Zerg nests still had amazing control over these Purple-Blue Zerg.

This was something Chen Feng hadn't anticipated.

The next moment, several narrow cracks suddenly appeared in the fleshy outer wall of the Zerg nest on Hill 73.

A dozen or so slender figures slowly stepped out from among them.

The leader was a full 1.9 meters tall, with tight purple insect armor clinging to its humanoid body, while ice-crystal-like spikes extended from its joints. Its face lacked a mouth and nose, but possessed two deep, dark hexagonal compound eyes.

These creatures, who looked like Zerg hunters, gripped a nearly 1.2-meter-long purple battle blade in their hands, with dark energy patterns flowing across its surface. They were none other than the terrifying Purple Guards.

[Combat Unit: Purple Guard]

[Combat Role: Queen's direct guard, elite assault force, one of the few high-tier Zerg with independent tactical thinking]

[Appearance: A humanoid insectoid creature, clad in purple insect armor, with dark purple compound eyes that can see through camouflage, wielding a purple battle blade coated with biotin, and possessing a slender physique and explosive power.]

[Skills: Short-range warp, Purple Blade Slash, Swarm Node]

These Purple Guards are the key nodes that completely integrate the perception, actions, and tactics of thousands of killing machines into one, and they are also the butcher's knife wielded by the Purple Queen.

Chen Feng's pupils contracted slightly.

Almost the instant the Purple Guards appeared, their tactical deployment was seen through.

The swarm of insects, which had been standing still, suddenly split apart. Three streams of purple torrents, under the command of the Purple Guards, spread out in an orderly fashion along the slope of the high ground, forming three assault teams on the left, center, and right, and began to press down on the company led by Chen Feng at the foot of the mountain!

The Purple-Blue Swarm's battle was a layered, group assault with clear tactical objectives, completely different from the Iron Slaughter Swarm that Chen Feng and Bai Fei had previously dealt with!

Chen Feng immediately opened the communication channel and issued the latest orders to all companies.

"All squads, immediately engage the swarm according to Plan C, and await my command before firing."

Seeing the overwhelming Zerg army rushing towards Chen Feng and his company, Chen Feng took the ammunition boxes from the ground and mounted them on his Ice Locust Bomb Gun.

"1060 meters!"

"560 meters!"

"460 meters! Fire!"

The 500-meter boundary line, on the downhill slope of the permafrost, is only a distance of a dozen seconds for a swarm of insects charging at full speed.

The purplish-black tide rolled down the slope covered with fungal carpet, and thousands of Ice Claw Berserker Insects stood shoulder to shoulder in a thick charging formation. The muffled thuds of their legs hitting the ground were like heavy drumbeats striking everyone's eardrums.

The moment Chen Feng finished speaking, his index finger gripped the trigger tightly.

The Ice Locust Bomb Gun, equipped with a large-capacity ammunition box, emitted a deep and continuous roar as bombs were fired, accurately striking the Zerg's central assault line.

Before the Ice Claw Berserkers in the front row could react, their deep purple chitinous carapaces were blasted to pieces by the explosive bombs.

At the same time, the four martial gods hidden on either side of Chen Feng also opened fire.

Five powerful and unparalleled firepower cut directly into the swarm from five directions, like five red-hot knives cutting into butter, instantly tearing apart the Zerg's charging formation.

In an instant, it completely tore apart the hundreds of Ice Claw Berserker Insects at the forefront!
