Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 41 The Scent of Conspiracy

"Ugh~~~"

A black-crowned golden eagle soared freely in the sky.

A large group of flying monsters followed behind it, including various eagle-like monsters and a flock of golden vultures.

"I never expected that after taming this black-crowned golden eagle, I would also gain a large number of eagle-like monsters for free!"

Looking at the black-crowned golden eagle soaring in the sky, Qin Mu felt a sense of exhilaration.

After being treated by its mother, the black-crowned golden eagle has recovered and gave Qin Mu a pleasant surprise.

It turns out that this Black-crowned Golden Eagle, as a lord-level monster, is not alone; it has a large group of monsters under its command.

Among them are two high-ranking warrior-level beasts: a black-crowned golden eagle and a wind-chasing eagle. There are also more than ten other types of eagles that have reached the warrior-level, totaling more than fifty, and thousands of monsters at the beast soldier level.

This was once a considerable force, but now it has become part of the Zerg's power.

If these monsters had followed the Black-crowned Golden Eagle from the beginning, it wouldn't have been so easy for Qin Mu to win.

However, when fighting Qin Mu, the Black-crowned Golden Eagle didn't even have time to call for its subordinates before Qin Mu defeated it.

Moreover, this Black-crowned Golden Eagle, as a lord-level monster, rules over an area. Although it is in the suburbs and the area is not very large, it has considerable benefits for the development of the Zerg.

This made Qin Mu want to enslave a few more lord-level monsters, but after enslaving the Black-Crowned Golden Eagle once, Qin Mu's mental energy was also greatly depleted, and he would have to wait at least a day before he could enslave another one.

Finally, the swarm also found a lot of broken human weapons and equipment in the Black-crowned Golden Eagle's nest, but unfortunately they were all general-level weapons and equipment, not worth much money.

But this served as a reminder to Qin Mu.

This city is different from No. 0203. No. 0203 is just a small county town, and the place is remote, so almost no martial artists go there to hunt monsters.

The city is vast, with millions of monsters. Monsters of the Beast General level are everywhere, as are many of the Lord-level monsters. There are even King-level monsters roaming the city. As a result, the city attracts many human warriors to hunt monsters.

There are already twelve human warrior squads discovered by the swarm.

Fortunately, the city is large, and the swarm of insects has not yet encountered human warriors.

Of course, it doesn't matter if they encounter them. Qin Mu will not intentionally hunt humans, but the swarm will still fight back on its own after being attacked.

"We still need to find a way to hunt more monsters and make more money!"

Qin Mu felt somewhat uncomfortable because his strength was increasing too quickly, and the weapon he was using could not keep up with his growth rate.

Originally, Qin Mu only bought eleven short spears, but after a little training, he was able to easily control 12 short spears.

After the mother nest was upgraded, the feedback power not only allowed Qin Mu to reach the initial level of War God, but also greatly increased his control. Now Qin Mu can easily control 20 short spears, and even the training equipment is almost not enough.

This resulted in Qin Mu being unable to unleash his full potential due to a lack of sufficient weapons.

Not only that, Qin Mu also needs a lot of money to buy the subsequent cultivation techniques of "World Destruction" and the basics of mental cultivation.

The first two levels of "World Destruction" alone require 10 billion!

The 50% discount won't apply to your second purchase.

The first three floors alone will require 50 billion!

Qin Mu and the insect swarm have hunted down more than sixty beast general-level monsters during this period.

Based on the approximate price of monster materials, the important materials from a low-level Beast General-level monster can generally sell for 500 million to 1500 million.

Important materials from intermediate-level Beast General-level monsters can generally be sold for 10 million to over 100 million.

Important materials from high-level beast general-level monsters can generally be sold for around 50 million to 600-700 million.

Most of the materials Qin Mu possessed were at the level of a low-level beast general, with only a few at the level of a high-level beast general. The total value of all of them exceeded three billion.

This speed at which he was making money was already quite fast, but Qin Mu was still not satisfied.

There are just too many things that require money, and this amount of money is far from enough; it can't even afford the first three levels of "World Destruction".

Qin Mu couldn't stay in the wilderness forever, because it was already August 16th. Ordinary military academy students had already started school on August 12th and then needed to undergo three months of basic training.

As a military colonel, Qin Mu, who joined the special recruitment class for martial arts students, naturally did not need to participate in basic training like ordinary military academy students, but he still needed to go to the school before the 20th to handle some enrollment-related matters.

With the addition of flying monsters like the Golden Vulture and the Black-crowned Golden Eagle, the Zerg no longer need to spend several days on the road as before; they can return on the same day.

So these days, I can use my time to make money.

In fact, in order to earn more money, the Black-crowned Golden Eagle even led its herd to hunt for Qin Mu.

The black-crowned golden eagle let out a loud cry and swooped down from the sky.

A high-ranking serpentine monster was caught in mid-air and rendered powerless by a gentle nibble from a black-crowned golden eagle.

While making money, the swarm also intentionally hunts some amphibious monsters. The mother hive has already begun analyzing the genes of some amphibious monsters in preparation for hatching aquatic swarms.

Just when Qin Mu thought he would spend the rest of the time hunting, an unexpected event still occurred.

“Ding Di—”

“Ding Di—”

On a street, Qin Mu was hunting monsters when his military combat watch suddenly vibrated.

After hunting down all the monsters, Qin Mu raised his hand to check the information transmitted through his military combat watch.

This is a request for help.

A distress call was sent by a squad of martial artists belonging to the military.

The distress call stated that it was a squad carrying out a special mission, and that there was a special member in the squad who was not capable of combat. They were suddenly discovered by a horde of monsters and were surrounded. They had no choice but to ask for help from the surrounding martial arts squads.

At first, Qin Mu thought it was just bad luck for the military warrior squad to be discovered by the monster.

Since they weren't far from the military squad, and adhering to the principle of helping if possible, Qin Mu dispatched several golden vultures and a flock of gray larks to scout ahead and assess the situation.

However, the message sent back by the swarm made Qin Mu realize that something was wrong.

Twenty miles away from Qin Mu, in the ruins of a small community, a six-person military martial arts squad was fleeing in disarray.

One of the military warriors was carrying an elderly man with gray hair on his back, protected by the other warriors in the center.

Behind them, thousands of monsters were in frenzied pursuit, including many powerful beast general-level monsters.

Faced with a monster of this size, even a war god-level expert would not dare to confront it head-on and could only avoid its sharp edge.

Two military warriors operated a massive heavy machine gun, firing wildly backward in an attempt to stop the approaching monster.

Although the heavy machine gun attack did have an effect.

However, the commotion caused by the use of firearms attracted even more monsters.

This scene was not unusual, but it occurred while the military squad was desperately fleeing and constantly calling for help.

A golden vulture, which was scouting intelligence, discovered another martial arts squad not far from the military squad.

Most of the members of this martial arts squad are white.

They seemed to be intentionally guiding the surrounding monsters toward the military squad, which was clearly abnormal.

In an instant, Qin Mu sensed a conspiracy.
