Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 81 Beast Tide vs. Insect Tide

Outside City 003, Qin Mu led an army of tens of millions of insectoids toward the city.

As the largest monster gathering center in Eurasia, this place is home to hundreds of millions of monsters, including more than one king-level monster.

Not only do land monsters gather here, but City 003 is a coastal city, and many amphibious monsters also like to climb ashore from the ocean.

This is the mouth of the Yangtze River, a key area for invasions by marine monsters.

This is also why the military spent a lot of money to build a war base on the Huangpu River.

Before this, Qin Mu had also sent a large number of Tiger Hounds, Unicorn Boars and other first batch of Zerg units to invade the city, but there were too many Lord-level monsters in the city, and there were also King-level monsters guarding it.

Without planetary-level combat power, the swarm struggled against the King-level monsters, and after several exchanges, they gained no advantage.

Therefore, under Qin Mu's orders, the first wave of invading Zerg only occupied a territory on the outskirts of City 003, while setting up five mother hives to hatch new Zerg units day and night, lurking underground and waiting for the arrival of the main force.

This time, Qin Mu led an army of tens of millions of insects to take down this city with the most monsters in the entire Eurasian continent in one fell swoop!

In order to successfully capture City 003, Qin Mu brought a total of 1500 million Zerg units, including 1200 million land units, 300 million air units, and nearly a thousand high-level lord-class monsters!

All the Zerg are newly hatched, powerful units, far surpassing the strength of ordinary monsters.

"roar--"

In the city center of No. 003, a deafening roar resounded as a giant, purple-haired ape, over a hundred meters tall, slowly emerged from the city's ruins.

This is a king-level monster, the Mighty Demon Ape, ranked number one among ape-type monsters!

Hundreds of thousands of ape-like monsters of various kinds followed around this king-level monster, and more monsters continued to gather in the distance.

"hiss--"

"hiss--"

Not just a king-level monster, but also a huge silver python, its body crackling with electricity, coiled around a building hundreds of meters high. At its hissing, countless snake monsters emerged from the corners of the city!

King-level monster - Silver Lightning Python!

"boom--"

The ground suddenly shattered, and a terrifying scorpion, entirely black with nine tails that gleamed with a cold light, burst forth from underground.

King-level monster - Nine-Tailed Poison Scorpion!

In a coastal area of ​​city 003, the waves surged, and a ferocious head with horns emerged from the waves. Its body, more than 300 meters in diameter and resembling a mountain peak, slowly crawled out of the ocean.

King-level monster - Dragon Turtle!

Four king-level monsters appeared from City 003, letting out terrifying roars in unison. Hearing these roars, the entire City 003 became agitated.

Massive numbers of monsters converged from the city ruins towards king-level monsters, appearing between skyscrapers, in the city's complex underground network, and even in the ocean.

They have discovered a menacing swarm of insects outside the city.

The intelligence of King-level monsters is no less than that of humans. When Jia Yi's voice spread throughout the country, many King-level monsters also learned of the news.

They learned that the Chinese military was about to engage in a full-scale war with the monsters.

Don't underestimate monsters; they are just as well-informed, and some even keep humans as their eyes and ears!

Among their spoils are a large number of human technological products. While humans are paying attention to the monsters, the monsters are also keeping a close eye on human movements!

Immediately, all the monsters in City 003 were mobilized, forming a massive beast tide.

Just like during the Great Nirvana, the monsters also united.

When it comes to hatred, monsters are the ones who truly inflict the deepest wounds on humanity!

They have been enslaved by humans for thousands of years!

Now that they have finally gained intelligence and the power to resist, how could they be willing to return to the days when they were slaughtered at will by humans?

Humans have a deep-seated hatred for monsters, but aren't monsters just as vengeful?

This is a racial war! A war for survival!

Earth is too small; it can only hold one overlord!

Outside the city, with Qin Mu's keen eyesight, even from dozens of miles away, he could easily see the unusual activity within the city. He knew that the monsters were beginning to gather.

But it doesn't matter, the swarm will tear them apart!

The military soldiers in the Zerg swarm have already broken away from the swarm. Their previous appearance was only to inform the people of the whole country that the Zerg swarm and the Chinese military were on the same side. Once the purpose was achieved, that was enough.

Qin Mu needs an opportunity to allow the Zerg swarm to take center stage openly and legitimately, and the military's endorsement is the best opportunity for that.

Above the battlefield, only a few military aircraft were stationed, their role not to participate in the war, but to serve as battlefield cameras.

Just like when the Golden Horned Beast launched a global war, the Chinese military also started a nationwide live broadcast to boost the morale of the people.

This war is a war of the Zerg swarm. Although the military has also been deployed, it is only following behind the Zerg swarm and providing long-range fire support when necessary.

"Boom!"

The ground rumbled and trembled as the swarm of insects raced forward.

It wasn't just the insect swarm charging; the beast tide on the other side was also gathering and charging!

Driven by the four king-level monsters, countless monsters in City 003 are running wildly toward the swarm of insects.

Unlike the unified units of the insect swarm, these monsters are extremely mixed. Leading the charge are weaker monsters such as the Wild Bull, the One-Horned Boar, the Tiger Hound, and the Two-Headed Python. There are so many of these monsters that you can't see the end of them at a glance.

These monsters are extremely chaotic, and small-scale conflicts even occur from time to time, but they are quickly suppressed by powerful lord-level monsters.

Clearly, these were cannon fodder arranged by those king-level monsters to absorb the first and strongest impact of the swarm.

In the middle were a vast number of ape-like monsters, scorpion-like monsters, snake-like monsters, and turtle-like monsters. These monsters belonged to the four king-level monster clans and were exceptionally powerful, with many at the beast general and lord levels.

In the sky, countless flying monsters soared, and the sound of their flapping wings could be easily heard from miles away!

Their shadows completely blocked out the sky, preventing even the sun's rays from penetrating, and casting huge shadows on the earth!

Although there was no King-level flying monster in charge, the King-level monsters themselves possessed the ability to fly. Under the threat of the four King-level monsters, all the flying monsters in City 003 were gathered together.

As the two drew closer, Qin Mu could see the monster's crimson eyes and the white breath it exhaled.

The swarm of insects behind them grew increasingly ferocious, with the mantises and tiger beetles at the forefront letting out excited roars.

It's near, it's near!

There was no declaration of war, and no communication!

The battle has begun.

The first battles were not fought by monsters on the ground, but by flying insectoids and flying monsters in the sky!

In the sky, on the side belonging to the swarm, countless giant poisonous bees simultaneously unleashed half-meter-long bone spikes from their tails!

"Pfft—"

"Pfft—"

"Pfft—"

The sky seemed to be filled with a rain of arrows, and the flying monsters on the opposite side fell down in unison.

The bone spikes were too numerous and too dense; even beast generals or lords would perish under such attacks!

In the first wave of attacks alone, tens of thousands of flying monsters died!

"Rip—"

Two swarms of insects, resembling black clouds, collided with the flying monster. In just an instant, countless severed limbs fell from the sky.

The most brutal and bloodiest close-quarters combat has begun.

Blood rained down, turning the sky as if it were stained crimson!

The ground was bathed in blood, countless monsters went berserk, and the eyes of the swarm of insects glowed with a blood-red light.

Driven by the bloodshed, both the beast tide and the insect swarm went completely mad.

The monsters charging in the front row roared, opened their blood-red mouths, and extended their sharp claws.

In the swarm of insects, the bladed mantis flapped its wings, leaped into the air, and swooped down from the sky.

The giant tiger beetle opened its pair of extremely large jaws and charged forward.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

Like two black tides, the swarm of insects and the beast tide collided with a deafening roar.

The terrifying impact of the collision between the insect swarm and the beast tide could be clearly heard for dozens of miles.

A mantis wielded its long blades to slit the throat of a tiger-dog. Just as it was about to leap up again, it was instantly rammed by a bull and sent flying backward.

The raging bull had bloodshot eyes and was running wildly on all fours. Its eyes, like copper bells, held a terrifying killing intent.

"Kara—"

Behind the mantis, a giant tiger beetle charged forward, its massive jaws snapping shut and colliding with the bull's leg bone.

During its frenzied charge, the bull, whose shoulder height exceeded three meters, was repeatedly knocked back by the giant tiger beetle's violent impact, and its leg bones were even broken.

But behind that raging bull, a large group of bloodthirsty tanks charged forward, forcibly pushing the bull's hind legs and body forward.

At the forefront of the clash between the swarm of insects and the monsters, it was like a meat grinder of death, frantically devouring life.

charge!

charge!

The monsters and swarms at the forefront were almost instantly torn apart, and then trampled into mincemeat by the monsters and swarms that followed.

Utterly insane!

The swarm of insects roared, and the monster howled!

The battles on the ground are a hundred times more brutal than those in the air!

Even the heavily armored Zerg, like the King Tiger Beetle, was instantly torn apart.

However, in terms of combat power, the swarm is still superior, and the surging swarm is like a terrifying blade.

After the first wave of attacks, the swarm of insects from the rear almost immediately charged into the monster horde.

In terms of strength, how could these hastily assembled monsters possibly be the insect-type monsters that Qin Mu carefully selected from hundreds of thousands of monsters, the most suitable for large-scale battles?

The swarm's battle line, like a tidal wave, engulfed the monsters at the forefront and spread backward.

"roar--"

Seeing this, the king-level monsters watching from the rear of the beast tide roared and summoned even more monsters to join the battle.

Neither the four king-level monsters nor Qin Mu rushed to attack, but instead allowed the swarm of insects and the beast tide to fight each other.

In this battlefield with tens of millions of participants, the battle that just took place was merely an appetizer.

An even more brutal melee ensued.

Countless monsters and swarms of insects intertwined, and death became eternal in that moment.

Almost every instant, tens of thousands of monsters and insectoids died.

"Kill! Fight! And evolve!"

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Qin Mu's eyes; this was exactly what the insect swarm was after!

The evolutionary path of the swarm is forged from the corpses of monsters!
