Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 53 Mad Enslavement (Please Subscribe)

September 3rd, Yangzhou City, Shengshi Jiangnan Residential Area.

A thousand meters above the ground, a huge black-crowned golden eagle soared over the residential area.

A figure dressed in black combat gear silently flew from Villa 0921 into the sky and landed on the back of a black-crowned golden eagle, attracting almost no attention.

"Ugh~~~"

A cry rang out, and the black-crowned golden eagle burst into speed, instantly breaking the sound barrier and flying out of the city at an astonishing pace.

It was only then that people noticed the black-crowned eagle in the sky, but by the time they realized what was happening, the eagle had already disappeared from sight.

Qin Mu's departure did not attract much attention. In fact, he was not a high-profile person. Otherwise, if he had let the black-crowned golden eagle land, it would have attracted a lot of attention.

His previous high-profile displays of strength were merely a means to achieve certain goals.

As for now, Qin Mu no longer needs to resort to such tactics.

Sitting cross-legged on the back of the black-crowned golden eagle, Qin Mu was in a good mood. The assessment task from the War God Palace had been assigned. All he had to do was go into the wilderness and hunt down a lord-level monster. The task was very simple.

"At the speed of the Black-crowned Golden Eagle, it wouldn't take more than an hour to reach City 0237."

Qin Mu looked at the scenery in the wilderness with a smile on his face. With his current strength, the assessment was just a formality. The main purpose of this trip was to tame more lord-level monsters so that the swarm could expand faster.

"This time, the swarm can expand towards City 023! Even if we encounter a King-level monster, I have nothing to fear with my current strength."

Previously, under Qin Mu's deliberate control, the expansion of the swarm had been relatively covert and restrained.

Despite possessing a large number of high-level Zerg units, the Zerg swarm did not rush to expand in City 0237. Instead, it relied on the subway line to scout the situation and then steadily advanced.

To this day, the insect swarm's tentacles have not yet reached the neighboring city of 023.

And what about some martial artists?

Several warriors at the level of general dared to enter cities 023 and even 003!

It's important to know that City 003, as one of the largest cities in Eurasia, is inhabited by a King-level monster!

The reason is simple: the human warrior squads secretly entered the hunting grounds and moved their territory at any time, fleeing for their lives if they encountered high-level monsters.

But not the insect swarm!

Because of the existence of the mother hive, the swarm must occupy the territory and confront the monsters head-on.

The two are like guerrillas and regular troops; one side moves around and can retreat at any time, while the other can only fight to the death.

Therefore, Qin Mu has always intentionally controlled the intensity of the war, and while his strength is still weak, he tries his best not to provoke powerful monsters.

Even now, Qin Mu still has no intention of changing this policy.

If it were to attract the attention of a large number of King-level monsters, the current swarm of insects simply wouldn't be able to withstand it.

This is also why Qin Mu has not deployed a large number of Mother Nests. Otherwise, if he had deployed one Mother Nest to each city, the size of the swarm would have increased at an abnormally terrifying rate.

However, after consuming the Thousand-Year Willow Heart and reaching the level of an invincible war god, with his mental power amplitude reaching 36, Qin Mu felt that he could be a little bolder.

By controlling a large number of Lord-level monsters, and using these Lord-level monsters as cover, you can open up numerous mother brood sites and rapidly increase your Zerg units.

After so many days, the insect swarm has just barely surpassed 50 in number as it continues to reproduce.

In city 0237, the number of Zerg around the mother hive is less than 20. This is the result of the Zerg swarm having already deployed an underwater mother hive in Taihu Lake during the days Qin Mu was cultivating.

Qin Mu was not very satisfied with this progress.

Five hundred thousand is far too little for a land monster!

Keep in mind that even the lowest level 3 monster horde can consist of millions of monsters!

The number of monsters in the Level 1 beast tide has reached hundreds of millions!

Not to mention the even more terrifying catastrophic beast tides.

With the addition of the newly hatched underwater mother nests, the swarm now has a total of five mother nests.

At the current rate, even if all five level-two mother broods were to hatch the Zerg at full capacity, the number would only be 36000 per day!

How many more years would it take to reach hundreds of millions of monsters and confront the monster tide head-on?

When did the swarm become so numerically disadvantaged?

Therefore, increasing the number of mother nests is imperative!

Expanding the number of mother nests also allows for faster decryption of monster genes and a quicker breakthrough to level three mother nests.

"boom!"

With its ferocious speed, the black-crowned golden eagle plunged headlong into city 0237.

This is the large city that Qin Mu is most familiar with, and it is home to a large number of lord-level monsters, making it perfect for hunting.

On the street, a gigantic monster, over ten meters tall, was entrenched in a building. It was a mid-level lord-class monster, the Steel Rock Rhinoceros.

The Steel Rock Rhinoceros is a relatively rare Lord-level monster. This monster likes to devour metal, and after some transformation, the metal will be integrated into its fur and bones.

Therefore, the Steel Rock Giant Rhinoceros has extremely strong defense and is among the strongest of all lord-level monsters of the same rank.

In the past, the black-crowned golden eagle, a low-level lord, beneath it never dared to provoke it, because it was impossible to break through its defenses!

"Ugh~~~"

The Black-crowned Golden Eagle swooped down towards the Steel Rock Giant Rhinoceros, but the mid-level lord-level Steel Rock Giant Rhinoceros didn't even lift its eyelids when it saw the Black-crowned Golden Eagle in the sky. It exhaled a thick column of air from its nostrils and didn't want to pay any attention to it at all.

"Sizzle—"

It sounded like metal clashing, producing a sound that made your teeth ache.

A dozen short spears descended from the sky at speeds exceeding ten times the speed of sound, piercing through the thick metallic skin of the Steel Rock Rhinoceros.

It instantly dealt a severe blow to the monster, which was known for its strong defense.

"Submit to me!"

A powerful mental force emanated from Qin Mu, rushing into the Steel Rock Giant Rhinoceros's sea of ​​consciousness with an extremely violent motion, forcibly transforming it into an insectoid form.

"roar--"

Faced with overwhelming power, it didn't even have a chance to fight back.

Numerous monsters roared around them, seemingly wanting to come and help, but in the next moment, they were easily slaughtered by short spears traveling at more than ten times the speed of sound.

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Mu's figure soared into the sky, while the heavily injured Steel Rock Rhinoceros on the ground staggered to its feet and headed towards the Zerg mother nest.

It has been infected and transformed into a Zerg creature; it needs treatment!

Half a day later, when it stood up from the fungal carpet near the mother nest, there were no traces of injury on its body.

Behind it followed a large swarm of Zerg units, guided by the will of the swarm, heading to a designated location to establish the mother hive.

In another location, a high-level lord-class monster, the Earth Bear, standing upright and nearly thirty meters tall with gray fur all over its body, roared angrily.

Its body was covered in blood, and its limbs were pierced by short spears and pinned to the ground.

"Submit to me!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Qin Mu's eyes. This high-level lord-class monster, the Earth Bear, had an extremely strong will. Even Qin Mu had to spend a lot of effort to transform it into an insectoid creature.

When Qin Mu flew into the sky again, the severely injured Earth Bear and the Steel Rock Giant Rhinoceros went to the mother nest to heal their wounds, and then went to the designated location to open a new mother nest.

Under Qin Mu's frenzied hunting, one lord-level monster after another was severely injured and turned into an insectoid.

Covered in a layer of golden scales, the King Kong Ape is a high-ranking lord over twenty meters tall and ranked number one among ape-like monsters.

The Black-Striped Blood Serpent is a mid-level lord-class monster with a body length exceeding 50 meters and terrifying venom.

……

One after another, terrifying monsters were forcibly transformed into insectoids by Qin Mu.

With Qin Mu's current strength, any monster that is not a King-level monster can be easily defeated by him.

Under such insane enslavement, the number of lord-level monsters in the swarm continued to increase, and the number of mother hives also grew at an alarming rate.

The next chapter should be around noon.
