Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 22 Flying Beasts

In the ruins of the residential area above the No. 2 mother nest in County 0203.

A shadowy cat darted back and forth in an 18-story residential building, investigating.

Soon, it discovered a high-level lion mastiff dog living on the 7th floor.

Instead of rushing up rashly, they waited for a while before a commotion came from downstairs, and a pack of ten Tibetan Mastiffs charged up.

After a roar and a chaotic fight, the Tiger Mastiffs dragged the dead Lion Mastiff into the underground parking garage.

More than 30 armored bulls were roaming in the green belt on the edge of the community. They were surrounded by a group of tiger mastiffs. What's even more outrageous is that there were also some wild boars mixed in with the tiger mastiffs!

The Tibetan Mastiff and the wild boar coexisted strangely harmoniously, without fighting, and instead cooperated extremely well.

As soon as the battle began, when the armored bulls launched their charge, the group of iron-haired wild boars launched a fierce counter-charge.

The most brutal and bloody battle began. Two tank-like teams collided with a deafening roar, causing chaos and confusion.

The tiger mastiffs charged in, knocking over the armored bulls one by one.

On the rooftop of a high-rise building, Qin Mu observed the battle throughout the entire residential area.

The three Zerg units work together seamlessly, and their strength is not simply a matter of one plus one, but rather exponentially increased.

"With the current strength of the swarm, as long as it doesn't provoke those few beast general-level monsters, ordinary monsters won't be a match for the swarm."

Qin Mu pondered the future development of the insect swarm. It wasn't until he arrived in County 0203 that the number of insects truly began to surge.

The resources here are too abundant, and monsters are everywhere. In this small county, there are roughly hundreds of thousands of monsters, which is simply outrageous.

While the swarm of insects was clearing out the monsters in the neighborhood, Qin Mu was not idle either. He also joined the sweeping army, and he killed hundreds of monsters by himself!

Thanks to the abundant energy, the hive is hatching Zerg warriors non-stop. The number of Tiger Hounds in the entire hive has now exceeded 600, the number of Ironhounds has reached 80, and the number of Shadowcats has exceeded 100.

This number is still increasing at an astonishing rate, and the energy stored in the mother nest has exceeded 2000 points, which can be described as ample reserves.

Around the second mother nest, three evolution chambers also hatched, fully analyzing the monster's genes.

With two mother nests in operation, the genetic progress towards evolving into a secondary mother nest reached 23%.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

"It's a pity there's no suitable telekinetic weapon, otherwise, we would have killed that tiger-mastiff dog at the low-level beast general level first."

Qin Mu looked with some regret at a building on the east side of the community, where hundreds of wild tiger mastiffs lived, ruled by a tiger mastiff leader at the junior beast general level.

As a psychic, not having a suitable psychic weapon is a huge disadvantage, which further strengthened Qin Mu's determination to buy several good psychic weapons after returning to the base city.

However, this tiger mastiff leader, who is at the level of a beast general, cannot escape, because under the control of the mother nest, several tiger mastiffs hatched from the mother nest have successfully infiltrated the pack of tiger mastiffs at the level of a beast general.

Several unicorn daggers swirled and danced around Qin Mu. These were not the original three unicorn daggers; they had been replaced with new ones long ago.

This horn, after all, is not a real weapon, and it is quickly worn out in battle.

"So what is the insect swarm most lacking right now?"

Qin Mu pondered carefully. The current insect swarm's gene pool already contained more than a dozen kinds of monsters at the level of beast soldiers, and also one kind of monster gene at the level of beast generals.

"Puff puff puff—"

In the sky, a group of flying monsters flapped their wings and whistled past.

Qin Mu looked up and smiled. It was a flying monster!

The Zerg swarm currently only has land units; what it lacks are air units.

Whether it's combat, reconnaissance, long-range raids, or support, flying monsters have a huge advantage.

Compared to land monsters, air monsters have many advantages; their ability to fly alone puts many martial arts monsters to shame.

It should be noted that among martial artists, unless they are experts surpassing the level of a war god, they are generally unable to fly.

Moreover, flying monsters are extremely fast. Flying monsters of the same class are usually several times faster than land monsters, and breaking the sound barrier is commonplace. Ordinary fighter jets are no match for them.

Therefore, the sky, like the ocean, is a forbidden zone for humankind.

With a thought in his mind, he summoned 30 Shadow Cats and 50 Tiger Mastiffs to his building.

He ordered them to hide, and Qin Mu began to wait for the flying beasts to pass by in the sky.

Not long after, hundreds of gray-black sparrow-like monsters with wingspans of about one meter flew over the neighborhood, screeching loudly.

On the rooftop, Qin Mu narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the flying monster in the sky.

"Grey Lark, a common monster in the wilderness. They live in groups and are usually at the level of a low-level beast soldier. However, with their large numbers, there are also many beast generals and even lords among them."

"The strongest among these grey larks should be at least a high-level beast soldier. We can make our move!"

After careful examination, Qin Mu stared at the largest of the monsters, a gray lark with a wingspan of just over two meters, and said with certainty.

After making his decision, Qin Mu acted decisively. He opened his backpack, and ten unicorn daggers shot out, heading towards the gray lark in the sky.

"Pfft—"

A grey lark had its chest pierced, and it let out a terrified cry, flapping its wings weakly as it fell to the ground.

The deaths of ten gray larks in a row immediately threw the entire monster horde into chaos.

All the grey larks screeched angrily in the sky, searching for enemies in the shadows.

Soon, a gray lark spotted Qin Mu on the rooftop, because Qin Mu didn't hide; instead, he stood there openly.

After several screams, all the grey larks spotted the culprit and immediately swooped down in a dark mass.

"They're here!"

Hundreds of grey larks swooped down, obscuring the sky; the scene was chilling.

But Qin Mu showed no fear. Twenty more unicorn daggers flew out of his backpack, spinning rapidly around him and soaring into the sky!

One by one, the grey larks bled and fell from the sky.

Most of these are just low-level beast soldiers. They're fine in the sky, but getting close is suicide!

However, there were simply too many gray larks, and they all swooped down from the sky at the same time. Even with Qin Mu manipulating thirty unicorn daggers, some inevitably slipped through the net.

A grey lark shrieked, only a few meters away from Qin Mu, but Qin Mu still showed no intention of dodging.

Just as the gray lark bared its bloodthirsty fangs, a dark figure darted out from the rooftop passage not far from Qin Mu, leaping up and precisely seizing the gray lark.

It's Shadowcat!

Cat-like monsters are extremely agile and usually enjoy pouncing on and killing these small flying monsters, making them the best counter to them.

Thirty shadow cats emerged from the passageway, covering the entire rooftop. They leaped up repeatedly, battling the gray larks in the sky.

"thump--"

A gray lark with its wings pierced fell in front of Qin Mu. Qin Mu's eyes narrowed, and an invisible force erupted, rushing straight into the gray lark's sea of ​​consciousness.

The grey lark's eyes rolled back, and it fainted.

How could a mere low-level beast soldier possibly withstand a mental attack from a mid-level warrior?

This is a mental attack method that Qin Mu has figured out. Although it is still very crude and simple, it is still sufficient to deal with a low-level beast soldier.

Every Zerg Queen is a master of the soul, specializing in various soul attacks. Qin Mu, as the Zerg Overlord, also possesses this talent.

After just a simple try, Qin Mu found the trick.

"Wait, something's not right? What's going on???"

After several more attempts at mental attacks, Qin Mu suddenly noticed something strange!

He seemed to sense a soul connection with a gray lark!
