Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 73 Babata's Fear

Mid-January 2056.

After making all the necessary arrangements and preparations, Qin Mu set off for Wudao Island.

Qin Mu didn't know the exact location of Fog Island, but he knew that it was in the central part of the Australian continent and that there was a monkey mountain range next to it, inhabited by a large number of ape monsters.

Near the Monkey Mountain Range, there is a lake that spans a hundred miles in circumference, and Kirishima is the island in the center of this lake.

Having obtained this crucial information, Qin Mu used his authority within the military to mobilize satellites for a thorough search, quickly pinpointing the exact location.

Qin Mu does not plan to go to Fog Island alone this time, but will bring a large number of high-level lord-class flying insectoids with him.

The Australian continent is not peaceful today. Before the Great Nirvana, it was known for its many species and large numbers of animals, so the number and variety of monsters here are also extremely large.

Because it is surrounded by the sea, the Australian continent has long been a paradise for monsters and one of the three most dangerous places on Earth.

In other words, the elite students of the God of War Training Camp of the Limit Martial Arts Academy come here every August for training, but very few people come here at other times.

This land is inhabited by a large number of king-level monsters, and there are even more terrifying lord-level monsters; the land is teeming with beasts.

Especially in the area where Fog Island is located, there are nearly a hundred high-ranking lords in a lake with a radius of a hundred miles.

Qin Mu guessed that the reason for the astonishing density of these monsters was most likely because Babata had lost a few Wood Crystals on the island in the middle of the lake.

Although he didn't think these monsters could harm him, Qin Mu still brought a full 300 high-level lord-class flying insectoid units with him.

A group of high-level Zerg flying units with astonishing wingspans flew at high speed through the sky, heading straight for the direction of Fog Island.

No flying monsters dared to stop them along the way. This number of high-level lord-class monsters would not be afraid even if they encountered king-level monsters.

"This Australian continent truly lives up to its reputation as one of the three most dangerous places; the number of monsters here is astounding."

Standing atop a golden flame eagle, Qin Mu was somewhat surprised as he looked down at the astonishing number of monsters below.

This is a vast wasteland covered in green, with abundant vegetation, and countless monsters fighting and hunting in the jungle.

However, Qin Mu has no intention of placing the mother nest on the Australian continent for the time being, because this is undoubtedly a key area monitored by the Babata, and he is afraid that the Babata will discover it as soon as the mother nest is placed.

Unless Babata is willing to follow him, Qin Mu does not want to easily reveal the existence of the Mother Nest.

On Earth, it's not a big problem if it's exposed, but if it's exposed in space, then the problem will be huge!

There will definitely be countless powerful individuals and forces that want to seize it.

When Qin Mu led 300 high-level lord-class flying monsters through the sky, the monsters on the ground and in the jungle were terrified by the terrifying aura and lay prone on the ground to avoid being discovered.

Before long, Qin Mu arrived at the Monkey Mountain Range marked on the military map, where a large number of ape monsters lived.

Qin Mu ignored him and continued forward until he reached the large lake that spanned a hundred miles in circumference.

Large lakes like these are easy to locate.

Under Qin Mu's control, the Golden Flame Divine Eagle beneath his feet descended in altitude.

This lake is very mysterious. The entire lake is filled with mist, and even the God of War's eyesight can only barely see through a hundred meters.

Even Qin Mu could only see through a distance of about a thousand meters.

This distance is extremely close even for a war god-level expert; once a battle begins, they can cross it almost instantly.

"I wonder if Babata will take a liking to me? Logically, he should, after all, my brain capacity is 35, even Luo Feng is far inferior to me."

Qin Mu pondered.

Little did he know that when he led a large group of high-ranking lord-level monsters into the Australian continent...

Fifteen thousand meters underground in Kirishima, inside the dimly lit hall of a spaceship made of silver-white metal.

The virtual child, standing at about 1.45 meters tall, resembled a child with two horns on his forehead, blood-red eyes, and a gloomy expression on his face, dressed in a black robe.

"Activate the stealth system at full power! We cannot leave a trace!"

The black-robed boy's face was grim, his gaze seemingly piercing through the thick earth as he looked at Qin Mu, who was about to land on the misty island.

"This Qin Mu is definitely suspicious! He's most likely connected to that Zerg Queen!"

"Could it be that when the master used the soul secret technique, the insect queen took advantage of the loophole?"

Or has the Zerg Queen awakened over the years?

The boy in black robes found it strange, yet something felt off.

Because if it really was that Zerg Queen who had awakened, this Earth would have been gone long ago!

You must know that it was a Zerg queen at the level of a world lord. Even its master had to resort to a sneak attack to put it into a soul slumber.

The entire Earth, including the ruins of ancient civilization number 9, was under the surveillance of the black-robed child. Others failed to discover those well-hidden mother nests, but it did.

At first, the black-robed boy didn't pay much attention, because the mother nest was too weak, only able to hatch some beast soldier level monsters, that is, first and second level apprentices.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the insect swarm; similar gene-modification technology wouldn't be of any interest in the universe.

There are similar races in the universe. The Zerg are not the only ones capable of mass-producing units, but they are the strongest and top-tier ones.

It was also assumed that some lucky individual had obtained certain related technologies from the remains of some spaceships.

It was from that time onwards that it began to pay attention to Qin Mu.

But at this point, it did not associate it with the Zerg.

Because it's just too weak!

In general, the Zerg in the universe are not that weak. Those that appear in the universe are almost all at the level of world lords.

But gradually, he noticed something was wrong. The strange mother nests were evolving too fast and there were far too many of them.

What made it even more uneasy was that these mother nests had begun to hatch large numbers of various insect monsters, and their numbers were increasing at an abnormally terrifying rate.

Even at this point, it still didn't think this thing had anything to do with the Zerg.

Until recently, it discovered that a new nest had appeared near the nest where the Zerg Queen was located.

Various poisonous insects and creatures continuously hatched from this mother nest, and then rushed into the spherical mother nest with a diameter of eight hundred meters without regard for their own lives. The poisonous gas spreading on the surface of the spherical mother nest easily killed those poisonous insects and creatures.

Even so, those poisonous insects and creatures never stopped attacking!

Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand!

One hundred thousand, one million!

The number of dead poisonous insects and venomous creatures is at least over a million!

But this impact never stopped, as if they had some mission to enter the spherical mother nest!

It was only at this point that it became fearful.

It feared that if one of the venomous insects were to break into the spherical mother hive and awaken the sleeping Zerg queen.

"This Qin Mu is acting very strangely!"

"How did he end up on Kirishima? And without any warning, he just suddenly appeared!"

The expression on the black-robed boy's face was almost distorted.

"The Zerg Queen was already in a deep sleep before she came to Earth, so she couldn't possibly know the location of the spaceship!"

"A coincidence?"

"No, we must find a way to select a suitable successor as soon as possible, and then leave Earth as soon as possible and go far away."

Otherwise, if the Zerg Queen were to truly awaken, the entire Milky Way galaxy, and even a much larger region, would likely face extinction!

"We absolutely cannot let him discover the spaceship's location!"

There will be fewer updates today. I'm back in my hometown, and it's inconvenient to write while on the road. There should be another chapter of about 2000 words around 7 PM, but if not, it might be a little later.
