"You all better pull yourselves together!"

Outside the cave entrance, in a wide open forest clearing, nearly a hundred players gathered in a dense crowd.

The burly man at the head of the group, whose ID was [Mad Dragon, Overlord Blade], was roaring at the top of his lungs.

His face looked very pale.

Not only him, but all the elite members of the Mad Dragon Guild behind him had very ugly expressions.

"Damn it, what kind of rubbish 'Soul Tremor' is this? My strength attribute dropped by almost thirty points!"

A burly man wielding a giant axe looked at the bright red negative status on his virtual panel and couldn't help but curse.

"My agility has also decreased by one-fifth, and my legs feel like lead when I run."

"Damn it, how are we supposed to play this game? Who exactly is that bastard called 'Alien'?"

Whispers and curses rose and fell among the crowd, morale plummeted to rock bottom.

That blood-red announcement, visible to the entire server, weighed heavily on the hearts of every player.

All attributes are reduced by 20%, and damage to alien units is reduced by 50%.

This is practically a direct warning to everyone: don't mess with that plague god called "Alien".

"Shut up, all of you!"

Kuanglong Badao stomped his foot, activating his B-rank talent "Earth Stomp," and an invisible shockwave spread out.

Although its power is greatly reduced due to the debuff, it is still enough to quiet down the surrounding members.

"What's there to be afraid of!"

He looked around and roared, his eyes bloodshot.

"It's just a debuff, right? There are over a hundred of us, the lowest level is LV6, what are we afraid of?

"No matter how powerful he is, can he take on our entire guild by himself?"

He pointed to the dark entrance of the cave, spitting as he spoke.

"That 'Alien' turtle is definitely hiding inside!"

"He only dares to resort to these low-level tricks. Why doesn't he come out and confront us head-on?"

"Yes! Make him come out here!"

"You grandson! Come out and face your death!"

His instigation reignited the emotions of the guild members, who began to shout and clamor.

Foul language was constantly heard.

Deep inside the cave.

Li Haotian was sitting on a protruding rock, playing with an energy crystal he had just pried off the mine wall.

The noisy shouts and curses outside could be clearly heard coming in.

In the shadows behind him, the newly born Alien Queen stood like a silent sculpture, her enormous crown radiating a chilling sense of oppression.

Li Haotian seemed oblivious to the commotion outside, even having the leisure to admire the purity of the crystal in his hand against the light.

"So noisy."

He picked at his ear and casually tossed the crystal to a raider that was carrying it.

The raider opened its inner canines, caught it precisely, and then lowered its head to continue its work.

"Alright."

Li Haotian stood up, stretched his neck, and heard a soft cracking sound.

"Perfect timing to try out the new toy."

He closed his eyes.

[Honeycomb Mindset, activated.]

hum-

In an instant, his consciousness, like a pebble thrown into water, spread out in countless ripples, instantly covering the entire nest and extending outwards.

The world has changed.

His perspective was no longer limited to his own eyes.

He "saw" a raider lurking in the treetops dozens of meters above the cave entrance, its dense foliage providing excellent camouflage.

Through its eyes, he could clearly see the chaotic formation of the more than one hundred members of the Mad Dragon Guild below, and even smell the stench of their sweat and inferior potions carried on the wind.

He then "saw" another Corruptor, lying silently in a thicket at the edge of the woodland, enveloped in the damp scent of earth.

He could also "see" another raider, clinging to the rock wall on the side of the cave entrance like a gecko, the cold rock feeling as if he were touching it himself.

It's not just about the visual aspect.

Hearing, smell, touch...

At this moment, all the senses of the alien beings converged into a vast and comprehensive information network.

In Li Haotian's mind, the more than one hundred members of the Mad Dragon Guild were no longer a group of vague players.

He could "hear" the archer on the far left whose heart was racing with tension.

He could "smell" the strong tobacco scent emanating from Kuanglong and Badao.

He could "feel" the vibrations of every inch of the ground beneath their feet.

This feeling of being in control of everything is more powerful than the previous shared vision, by more than one dimension.

One hundred and seven people.

"Five B-grade talents, twenty-three C-grade talents, and the rest are just filler."

Li Haotian quickly completed an assessment of the enemy's combat strength in his mind.

He listened to their endless, unoriginal insults, looking down at their flawed so-called "formation" from the perspective of the raider in the treetop.

"So ordinary."

Li Haotian opened his eyes, his tone tinged with amusement.

"Yet so confident."

He didn't intend to send the alien army out immediately.

When a cat catches a mouse, it never kills it with a single bite.

Instead, you have to play first, until the mouse is completely desperate.

His consciousness precisely descended upon the Corruptor lurking in the bushes.

[Honeycomb Mindset: The Unit Descends.]

The Corruptor, which was only half a meter tall and inconspicuous, paused slightly.

The next second, it moved.

It is no longer a wild beast that acts on instinct; every movement it makes is filled with Li Haotian's own will.

It moved silently, skimming the ground, hidden in shadows and grass, circling around to the rear of the Mad Dragon Guild.

All the attention of those hundred-plus people was focused on the entrance to the cave, and no one noticed that a tiny "bug" was approaching their escape route.

The Corruptors quickly arrived at the designated location.

It was a narrow forest path, the only way for them to enter this clearing.

The members of the Mad Dragon Guild seemed very confident in themselves, leaving no one to guard their retreat.

That makes sense; in their view, it should be the "alien" creatures inside the cave that are surrounded.

The Corruptor raised its small head.

From its perspective, the entire world is composed of data streams and thermal sensing.

It accurately calculates wind direction, humidity, and the distance to the target.

"puff."

A soft sound, like spitting, rang out.

A stream of dark green, viscous liquid shot out from its mouth, tracing a precise parabola before landing in the center of the path.

sizzle-

Acrid white smoke rose up.

The solid ground, like butter splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid, quickly dissolved and collapsed.

In just a few seconds, the path that could have been wide enough for three or four people to walk side by side turned into a pit of acidic mud with a diameter of more than five meters, constantly bubbling with a foul stench.

What was that sound?

At the back of the group, a rogue player on guard seemed to have heard something and looked back in confusion.

He saw only a quiet grove of trees.

"What's wrong?" asked the teammate next to him.

"fine."

The thief shook his head and turned away.

"It's probably some kind of insect making noise. This weird place, everything is so strange."

He didn't see it; in the instant he turned his head, behind an inconspicuous patch of mud, a small corrosor silently disappeared into the deeper darkness.

Inside the cave.

Li Haotian deactivated his descent state, and his consciousness returned to his original body.

He raised his hand and gently patted the Queen's cold leg bones behind him.

The queen's enormous head bowed slightly, as if awaiting his command.

"The trap has been set."

Li Haotian looked towards the cave entrance, where the shouts and curses continued unabated.

"It seems the audience can't wait any longer."

He started walking towards the cave entrance.

Inside the lair, all the aliens stopped moving at the same time.

One, ten, hundreds...

They all turned around in unison, their ferocious faces fixed on their master.

The killing machine is ready to fire.

Li Haotian walked to the cave entrance, and the glaring sunlight made him squint.

He gave the first and last order of the day to the group of Mad Dragon Guild members outside who were still putting on a great show.

"Dinner is ready."
