Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 54 War King-Level Monster (Please Subscribe)

For three consecutive days, City 0237 was engulfed in chaos, with countless monsters clashing in a frenzy. This terrified the human warriors still in the city, who all went into hiding.

Without the suppression of the lord-level monsters, all the monsters were in complete chaos.

Unbeknownst to anyone, under the cover of night, lord-level monsters transformed by the Zerg led a portion of the Zerg units and silently spread outwards.

In the surrounding cities, wilderness, and deep mountains and marshes, mother nests quietly appeared one after another.

Under the cover of these lord-level monsters, no one, or even the monsters, noticed anything amiss.

"boom--"

A monstrous eagle-like creature with a wingspan of over fifty meters flew at a terrifying speed of eight times the speed of sound through the sky.

The terrifying sonic boom, as it flew close to the ground, killed countless beast-soldier level monsters on the ground.

This is a high-ranking lord-level eagle monster, the Golden Flame Divine Eagle. The Golden Flame Divine Eagle has dark blue-black feathers all over its body and a tuft of fiery red feathers on its head. When it flies at high speed, it looks like a burning flame. It is the fastest monster among eagle monsters.

"Haha, this Golden Flame Divine Eagle truly lives up to its reputation as the fastest eagle-type monster. It can reach eight times the speed of sound in normal flight, and its burst speed reaches ten times the speed of sound!"

On the head of the Golden Flame Divine Eagle, Qin Mu laughed heartily.

The speed of a typical land-based King-level monster is only four or five times the speed of sound, far slower than the Golden Flame Divine Eagle.

He had put in a lot of effort to tame this Golden Flame Divine Eagle, and used some tricks to successfully cripple it and transform it into a Zerg.

The Golden Flame Divine Eagle was too fast; even Qin Mu couldn't catch up with it when it unleashed its full power.

Qin Mu had tried it. With his current strength, his maximum running speed on the ground was only about 700 m/s. However, if he used his mental power to fly in the sky, with the assistance of powerful mental power, his speed could exceed 1000 meters per second!

However, this is still far slower than the Golden Flame Divine Eagle, at least in terms of its own flight speed. If it were to attack with a short spear, it could easily break the speed of sound by ten times.

With the acquisition of this high-ranking lord-level Golden Flame Divine Eagle, the original low-ranking lord-level Black-crowned Golden Eagle naturally became obsolete, and Qin Mu sent it to the wilderness to guard a newly hatched mother nest.

"We've tamed a full twenty lord-level monsters, including six flying ones. Now the Zerg's high-level combat power is finally sufficient!"

Qin Mu felt delighted. These twenty lord-level monsters were carefully selected, most of them being high-level lords, with some being mid-level lord-level monsters. Each of them had special characteristics, and their combat power far exceeded that of monsters of the same level.

Furthermore, it has six extremely fast flying monsters, which can provide rapid support should any of the mother nests be attacked.

"Let's go find the next one."

With the help of the Golden Flame Divine Eagle, Qin Mu's efficiency became even higher.

However, joy turned to sorrow. In City 023, just as Qin Mu dismounted from the Golden Flame Divine Eagle and charged towards a high-level wolf-type lord-level monster on the ground...

A terrifying sense of crisis made Qin Mu's scalp tingle, and he dodged at lightning speed.

Just as Qin Mu dodged, the ground near the wolf-like monster suddenly cracked open, and a golden flame hundreds of meters long shot out from the ground, engulfing Qin Mu's entire body.

A terrifying giant lizard, nearly a hundred meters long and covered with sharp, curved horns on its back, emerged from the ground, breathing fire and staring intently at the figure in mid-air with its golden eyes.

"boom--"

Amidst the flames, Qin Mu's figure shot out, his entire body enveloped in the Black God Suit, leaving not a single gap.

Under the scorching heat of those terrifying flames, even the Black God Armor turned a deep red.

If Qin Mu hadn't been able to envelop his entire body in the Black God Suit at the crucial moment, he would have been severely injured, if not killed, by that golden flame.

"I was careless; I didn't expect to be ambushed by a King-level monster!"

In the sky, Qin Mu's figure floated, with thirty-six short spears hovering behind him.

The terrifying giant lizard, nearly a hundred meters in size, also rose into the air, soaring high above, its ferocious killing intent radiating outwards, its target aimed directly at Qin Mu.

"King-level monster—Flame Giant Lizard!"

Qin Mu's expression changed drastically.

"Human! How dare you hunt a lord-level monster in my territory! You're courting death!"

The giant fire lizard was extremely angry, its killing intent soaring to the heavens.

"Sure enough, by hunting and enslaving too many lord-level monsters in one place, we have attracted the attention of king-level monsters."

Qin Mu understood. Before this, when he was browsing military intelligence, he saw a message that said that hunting a large number of Lord-level monsters in a certain area would result in being hunted down by King-level monsters.

Faced with this king-level monster, Qin Mu showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he was eager to try.

After his strength skyrocketed, he had not encountered an opponent of the same level. Even high-level lord-level monsters were like clay chickens and earthenware dogs in front of him, utterly vulnerable.

"So what if I kill him? What can you do about it?"

Qin Mu scoffed, his words revealing his utter contempt for the giant fire lizard.

In his first encounter with a King-level monster, Qin Mu was highly vigilant, but he still provoked the Flame Giant Lizard with his words, trying to provoke it.

Most King-level monsters are extremely arrogant; how could they tolerate such insults and provocations?

"roar--"

"Human, you're asking for death!"

The fire giant lizard's limbs seemed to tread on the void as if it were on the ground, as it ferociously pounced forward.

Qin Mu enveloped his entire body with his mental power and retreated at an extremely fast speed. Behind him, more than a dozen short spears, carrying enormous kinetic energy at a terrifying speed exceeding ten times the speed of sound, pierced the skin of the Flame Giant Lizard.

The fire lizard's body was too enormous, measuring over a hundred meters in length, making it impossible to dodge.

However, it doesn't need to dodge.

When those dozen or so short spears pierced its body, only two spears managed to break through its skin, drawing out a trickle of bright red blood, while the other dozen or so spears were deflected!

"roar--"

A terrifying golden flame shot out from the mouth of the fire giant lizard, distorting the air under the intense heat.

"This fire lizard's defense is too strong; the short spears can hardly hurt it!"

Qin Mu's expression turned serious as he looked at the fire lizard, which had only suffered a minor scratch.

That's normal. If it could be easily killed, how could it be called a King-level monster!

"Find an opportunity to attack its weaknesses!"

In the sky, Qin Mu's figure retreated repeatedly under the attack of the giant fire lizard, dodging its sharp claws.

This giant fire lizard is nearly a hundred meters long and extremely powerful. Once struck by its claws, even someone wearing the Black God Armor would not fare well.

"Sizzle—"

The sound of air being torn apart came as the fire lizard's tail lashed out at an incredibly terrifying speed.

Qin Mu unleashed his mental power at breakneck speed while his body dodged at the limit.

"That was close!"

With a mere ten centimeters between them, Qin Mu was nearly struck by the tail.

The fire lizard's tail attack was actually much faster than its claws.

"It's only polite to reciprocate! Try this trick of mine!"

Thirty-six short spears shot out simultaneously, drawing strange arcs in the sky as they attacked from all directions.

A mocking glint flashed in the Flame Giant Lizard's golden eyes. This human mentalist was fast, but his attacks were too weak!

As long as you defend your weak points such as the eyes and nasal cavity, they are not a threat at all.

Having survived countless battles to become a king-level monster, how could it not know what this human mentalist was thinking?

Aside from a few weak points, the Flame Giant Lizard doesn't bother to defend against attacks from other areas.

"clang--"

"clang--"

Like the sound of metal clashing, short spears were deflected one after another, with only a few attacks managing to pierce the fire giant lizard's skin.

As for the Fire Giant Lizard's weak points, such as its eyes, they were well protected, giving Qin Mu no chance at all.

Seeing the giant fire lizard not even bothering to defend its abdomen, Qin Mu, whose face was completely covered by the helmet formed by the Black God Suit, revealed a smile.

How could he not know that the fire giant lizard would definitely defend its weak points?

The continued attacks were merely an attempt to lower its guard.

"Let's use you to try out this killer move I just figured out these past few days!"

What is the most famous attack by the Zerg in the sky of Devouring Star?

Of course, it's the combined attack method!

Although Qin Mu did not inherit this skill, he did possess the talent to multitask.

When he was hunting and enslaving lord-level monsters on a large scale, he anticipated that he might encounter attacks from king-level monsters, so how could he not make any preparations at all?

As the fire lizard continued its attack, it failed to notice that, under the cover of other short spears, a full sixteen short spears had gathered beneath its abdomen.

The sixteen short spears spun rapidly, and the tips of all the spears converged into a single point, forming a high-speed rotating cone.

"Take this! Heaven-Piercing Cone!"

"boom--"

After gathering the full power of the sixteen short spears, the high-speed spinning cone slammed into the belly of the fire giant lizard.

"Rip—"

"Rip—"

"Rip—"

Under that terrifying spinning attack, the skin on the Flame Giant Lizard's abdomen was torn apart, its muscles were pierced, and a full sixteen short spears pierced its internal organs, rampaging wildly inside its body, tearing apart its internal organs and intestines in an instant.

"roar--"

A flicker of fear crossed the fire lizard's eyes, and it let out a deafening scream as its abdomen was torn apart.

The massive body, nearly 100 meters tall, crashed down from the sky.

"Human! How dare you!"

"You can't kill me! We land monsters and humans have an agreement not to wage war again. Are you trying to start a full-scale war between humans and monsters?!"

On the ground, the giant fire lizard's massive body writhed wildly, seemingly trying to squeeze out the short spears inside its body.

At the same time, it spoke in human language, threatening Qin Mu in the sky.

Qin Mu's expression darkened upon hearing the fire giant lizard's threat.

Qin Mu knew about the agreement mentioned by the giant fire lizard. It was an agreement that Hong had forced the land monsters to sign during the later stages of the Great Nirvana period, using his immense power.

Under the threat of slaying multiple Land King-level monsters, a pact was made with a Land King-level monster.

This agreement stopped the outbreak of large-scale wars between humans and land monsters, but humans who surpassed the God of War would no longer hunt down King-level monsters on land without cause.

Of course, this agreement only applies to land monsters and sky monsters, but it is invalid for sea monsters.

Because there are too many King-level monsters in the ocean, and they are too powerful, Hong's intimidation is completely useless.

"hehe--"

"I won't kill you!"

Looking at the giant fire lizard rolling on the ground, Qin Mu revealed a ruthless smile.

Through countless soul connections within his sea of ​​consciousness, Qin Mu mobilized the mental power of the entire swarm for the first time. Under Qin Mu's guidance, this formed a terrifying, overwhelming attack that pierced into the Flame Giant Lizard's sea of ​​consciousness.
