Chapter 55 Enslaving a King-Level Monster (Please Subscribe)

With new mother hives constantly appearing these days, coupled with the continuous reproduction of the original five mother hives, the swarm size has reached nearly 800,000.

Under the unified adjustment and arrangement of the mother nest, more than 600,000 of them belong to the beast soldier level, and more than 100,000 belong to the beast general level.

Nearly 800,000 Zerg units and more than 20 Lord-level monsters forcibly Zergified by Qin Mu were connected through a soul link, and this massive force was mobilized by Qin Mu using his mental power.

Like a flood, it was about to rush into the sea of ​​consciousness of the king-level monster, the Flame Giant Lizard.

"roar--"

"Humans!"

Sensing the danger, the fire lizard howled, rolled on the ground, and then frantically burrowed into the ground.

It knew very well that it could not escape, whether in the sky or on the ground, at its speed.

Deep underground, the fire lizard kept digging and burrowing deeper, while its tail swept across, collapsing the tunnel it had burrowed into.

This fire lizard seemed to be very good at digging, burrowing into the ground almost instantly to a depth of 100 meters.

In the sky, Qin Mu's expression changed, and he followed without hesitation into the air. The range at which he could control his weapon with his mental power was limited; once he exceeded that range, he would lose control.

A dozen short spears spun rapidly, like a drill, cutting along the collapsed passage created by the fire giant lizard.

"act recklessly!"

Qin Mu hardened his heart. Originally, he only controlled the short spears inside the Flame Giant Lizard to attack, but did not penetrate its heart or other vital parts, because he did not want to really kill it.

But we can't worry about that right now.

Manipulating it with his mental power, a short spear pierced through the fire giant lizard's soft belly, finally penetrating its heart amidst the lizard's extreme terror.

The fire lizard, which had been frantically burrowing downwards, suddenly froze, its movements ceasing as if it were already dead.

Qin Mu, who had caught up, sneered. Are king-level monsters so easy to kill?

Is this an attempt to lure me in for a last-ditch counterattack?

Deep underground, a hundred meters away from the fire giant lizard, Qin Mu stopped.

The immense mental power that unified the entire swarm surged wildly into the Flame Giant Lizard's sea of ​​consciousness, in a hazy gray space.

A giant, somewhat ethereal fire lizard, hundreds of meters long when condensed, appeared and roared to the sky.

However, before that surging spiritual power, like a celestial river pouring down, the enormous fire lizard was instantly overwhelmed, shattering into countless fragments that scattered like stars.

Faced with the immense mental power of the entire swarm, its soul, which was powerful even among king-level beings, was utterly vulnerable and shattered instantly.

Its soul was quickly infected, and a faint but increasingly solid soul connection appeared in Qin Mu's sea of ​​consciousness.

"We finally succeeded!"

Qin Mu, who was behind him, staggered and almost lost his balance.

In an instant, he mobilized the vast mental power of the entire insect swarm. Qin Mu's human body and sea of ​​consciousness were still too fragile.

Qin Mu felt as if his brain was instantly overloaded, constantly buzzing, and he was panting heavily.

"That was hasty. We shouldn't have used such a massive amount of mental energy. At most, half of it, no, not even half, would have been enough to easily defeat this giant fire lizard."

Leaning against the passageway, Qin Mu rested for a while and finally recovered.

In this battle, Qin Mu used all his skills. His Heaven-Shattering Cone attack was still a work in progress. The limit Qin Mu could achieve in his research over the past few days was to converge the attacks of sixteen short spears into a single point.

In the imagination, this move should be able to gather thirty-six short spears, which would spin wildly and form an extremely terrifying point.

Qin Mu was confident he could instantly kill even a king-level monster.

The method of launching an attack by mobilizing the entire swarm's mental energy is actually the most rudimentary form of Zerg coordinated attack.

This is a combined attack technique that belongs to the category of soul attacks.

Qin Mu's first use of this attack was completely forced upon him; his methods were too crude. He simply mobilized the mental power of the entire swarm, relying on sheer numbers to overwhelm the Flame Giant Lizard.

However, Qin Mu's physical strength and mental power were too weak compared to this force, like a small horse pulling a large cart, and he almost injured himself.

"Next time, I can't be so reckless again."

Qin Mu was panting, but a smile appeared on his face.

Once Qin Mu used the Sky-Piercing Cone to pierce through the body of this king-level monster, killing it wouldn't be difficult, but making it submit would be very difficult.

It's practically unrealistic to expect someone with the mental power of a peak-level War God to force a king-level monster into its consciousness and make it submit.

But if the power of the swarm is invoked, that's a different story.

Piercing through the earth, Qin Mu walked to the body of the Flame Giant Lizard that lay limp at the bottom of the ground. Looking at its enormous body, Qin Mu felt excited.

This is the first King-level monster belonging to the Zerg!

The benefits of enslaving a King-level monster are too great. This place is its territory. Enslaving it means that the entire City 023 will become a paradise for the swarm to hatch!

And it will become the Zerg's trump card, their true high-end combat power.

With a good start, it will be much easier to enslave other King-level monsters!

How many people in all of humanity possess combat power surpassing the level of a war god?

Less than ninety!

How many monsters are there?

There are far more monsters in the sky and on land than humans!

The ocean was even more terrifying. When the Golden Horned Beast led the monsters of the world to launch an attack, nearly a thousand of them crawled out of the ocean!

This is why Qin Mu didn't rush to develop in the ocean. Although the ocean is large enough and has many monsters, there are too many king-level monsters!

Not to mention, there are two monster kings in the ocean.

It's too dangerous to venture into the ocean without sufficient strength.

But it will be soon; it won't be long before the mother nest is upgraded to level three, or even level four.

The swarm can then appear openly and legitimately, launching a true all-out war, devouring all the monsters and turning them into nourishment for the swarm.

"Be steady! Even if it's slower, be steady!"

As Qin Mu looked at the giant fire lizard in front of him, the excitement in his eyes gradually faded.

"We need to treat it quickly, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain if the fire giant lizard dies."

During the battle, the fire giant lizard's body was riddled with holes, its heart was pierced, and its soul had fallen into a coma.

Even a king-level monster wouldn't last long with such injuries.

With a thought, Qin Mu's consciousness descended into the body of the Flame Giant Lizard, manipulating its massive form to crawl towards the ground.

On the ground, a worker insect, under the cover of a swarm, enters the subway and begins to hatch a mother nest at the bottom of a subway platform.

The Flame Giant Lizard was too badly injured to make it to the nearest nest, so Qin Mu simply created a new nest to heal the Flame Giant Lizard and hatch new Zerg units in City 003.

The fire giant lizard crawled to the vicinity of the mother nest at the bottom of the subway platform, only revealing part of its body before stopping. It would hide underground to heal its wounds, becoming the swarm's trump card.

Three hours later, the Flame Giant Lizard, whose breath was becoming increasingly weak, was covered with a thick layer of fungus. Countless tentacle-like threads wrapped around its body, and a massive amount of energy surged into its body, beginning to heal its wounds.

The fire lizard's breathing finally stabilized, saving its life.

Lying in a corner of the subway platform, Qin Mu rested while also reflecting on the peculiar feeling he had when his consciousness entered the body of the Flame Giant Lizard.

This giant fire lizard is clearly a fire-attribute monster, and its awakened special ability is also fire.

King-level monsters, also known as planetary-level monsters, can awaken corresponding special abilities, just like human warriors.

Being able to comprehend planetary-level power in advance by utilizing a King-level monster would be of great benefit to Qin Mu's growth.

"As expected, it was the right decision to risk injury to enslave this giant fire lizard."

In the pitch-black subway platform, Qin Mu's face showed a joyful expression.
