Monster collectors on the cross-platform

At this moment, the Overlord in the air finally realized that something was wrong. The enemy in front of it had an incredibly high endurance. Ordinary Zerg would be like moths to a flame, with no chance of returning.

The queen beetle quickly reported the situation to the mother hive, and the mother hive responded shortly afterward.

On the other hand, the Zerg's piecemeal tactics allowed Ho to farm efficiently, feeling like he was playing a grinding game. Unfortunately, the Zerg didn't drop equipment, which reduced the sense of surprise.

Just as Huo was still immersed in the joy of killing monsters, a powerful aura suddenly appeared within Huo's perception range.

Moreover, this aura was rapidly flying towards Huo Huan.

Is this the legendary fighting force of the Zerg?

Huo dared not be careless and quickly cleared out the surrounding insectoids in one go, then looked in the direction where he sensed the aura.

A beautiful young woman, dressed as if she were wearing an insect exoskeleton, appeared in the distant sky.

Before Huo Huan could get a good look at her, the strange woman had already appeared in front of him.

"Such speed!" Huo was startled and carefully examined the other party.

Purple pupils, a pretty face like a human's, but the skin on her face is a deathly bluish-gray.

Her entire body was covered in dark chitinous carapace, yet she still maintained a female form.

The arms, starting from the elbows, are replaced by huge, scythe-shaped bone blades, and behind them are a pair of enormous and ferocious membranous wings.

Her posture was elegant yet oppressive, a perfect blend of cruelty and beauty, possessing a deadly allure.

That's right, the person in front of us is one of the three legendary warriors of the Zerg, a legend known as Blade by the players.

I wonder if the person in front of me is related to Sarah Kerrigan from Ho's memory.

Moreover, Huo felt that the Blade in front of him was not right. Although Huo could not put his finger on what was wrong, he felt that it was different from the feeling he had when he faced Elise before.

Without giving Huo any time to think, Blade charged forward, wielding his bone blade, after confirming that the human in front of him was the target.

The blade was so fast that Huo Huan had no time to dodge. The next second, a huge wound appeared on Huo Huan's chest, splitting him in two.

However, such an injury was not enough to truly harm Huo Huan. In the blink of an eye, the wound that had split Huo Huan in two disappeared.

At the same time, seizing the gap in the opponent's attack, Huo also directly returned a punch, giving them a taste of their own medicine.

However, Huo Huan's confident punch missed completely. The blade was too fast and its senses were too sharp, seemingly able to see through Huo Huan's every move.

The situation seemed to have reached a stalemate for a moment. Every attack from the blade seemed to be able to severely injure Huo Huan, but these injuries would often disappear from Huo Huan's body in less than a second.

Huo Huan, on the other hand, found it difficult to attack Blade. Blade's movements were too agile, and most of Huo Huan's attacks missed. Even when they did hit, Blade could replenish its energy on the creep and recover quickly.

This can't go on. The number of Zerg is increasing rapidly, almost filling up the surrounding space.

Huo also decisively summoned Elise, and at the same time activated his Spider God Transformation.

Compared to its normal state, the Spider God incarnation is more precise and agile, and combined with the legendary Sword Shadow Illusion trait, it is more suitable for dealing with targets with strong single-target abilities.

A crisp clang of metal clashing rang out. This was the first time Huo Huan had blocked the blade's attack. However, it was more accurate to say that the Spider God's half-body blocked it than Huo Huan himself.

Having blocked the attack, the Spider God's half immediately retaliated with a spider leg.

The blade dodged to the side, but the sharpness from the spider's legs still managed to pierce its chitinous carapace.

Meanwhile, Elise on the other side also joined the attack on Blade.

Faced with the onslaught of 16 spider legs, even Blade was at a disadvantage, dodging left and right, completely unable to retaliate.

Seeing this, the Overlord immediately mobilized the Zerg army to relieve the pressure on Blade.

At this point, another advantage of the Spider God's incarnation becomes apparent: the Spider God's half-body is semi-automatic, requiring no further attention from Huo. While the lower body is busy attacking Blade, the upper body can focus on unleashing other attacks to deal with the swarm of insects.

Slashes, flames, hissing... the battle grew increasingly chaotic.

Even with the support of the swarm, Blade's situation was not much better. The impenetrable sword net completely suppressed Blade's living space, giving her no chance to return to the creep for supplies.

As for Huo Huan, he was fine, having received a replenishment of life energy, so he didn't need to worry about getting injured.

But things weren't so good for Elise. The Zerg attacks were too intense, and even with the agility of her Spider God half, she couldn't remain unscathed.

Moreover, Elise doesn't have the same abnormal recovery ability as Huo Huan, so the situation seems to be turning against Huo Huan.

Should he give up? Seeing that Elise's injuries were getting worse, Huo's heart began to waver.

The opportunity is rare, and the Zerg are unaware of their true strength. This time they only sent one Blade to deal with them, but they probably won't have such an opportunity again.

However, if Elise were to die here, it would be something that Huo absolutely could not accept. Unlike Etris and Leticia, if Elise were to die, she would truly be dead.

Not only will Huo lose a legendary artifact, but Elise, a combatant close to legend, will also disappear.

Just as Huo was about to recall Iris and prepare to retreat, an unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared, piercing through the entire battlefield and entering Huo's ears.

"gold!"

At this command, hundreds of thumb-sized iron beads suddenly appeared, moving rapidly and intertwining to form a dense, impenetrable net, directly blocking the swarm of insects outside this steel net.

Inside the net, the situation once again became a two-on-one battle between Hogan and Elise.

Chapter 167 The True Word Master

The one in a hurry now isn't Huo Huan, but the insect swarm that's being blocked outside.

Without the harassment of the swarm, Blade was immediately in danger.

Faced with the combined attack of Huo and Elise, Blade's injuries continued to worsen, and his chitinous carapace was sliced ​​open by the sharp spider legs like an egg.

Not long after, Blade, who had fought two opponents alone, finally died under Huo Huan's blade.

After sending Elise back to the exhibition hall to recover from her injuries, Huo immediately took out the Book of Collections to preserve Blade's corpse.

Outside the steel net, seeing Blade's defeat, the swarm seemed to know they couldn't defeat Huo Huan, leaving a group of Zerg to hold the rear while the rest began to retreat.

After eliminating the last batch of Zerg left to cover the retreat, Huo did not pursue them but instead looked at the players who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Jin Li, a level 12 player on the general network, thanks you for your help."

"Silence, a level 14 True Word Mage in the Comprehensive Network, what just happened was just mutual help between players, nothing special." Silence shook his head, accepting Huo Huan's thanks.

Silence was quite curious about Huo Huan. To be able to withstand such a large group of Zerg and fight Blade head-on, and more importantly, to look like he was about to win, Huo Huan's strength was indeed quite terrifying. It was hard to imagine when another formidable figure had appeared on this battlefield.

Just as they were silently marveling at Huo's strength, Isiah appeared from his hiding place.

There were just too many Zerg before, so Isia could only hide on the side and secretly use some skills, not daring to show herself at all.

After a brief exchange, the two became somewhat acquainted.

The Silent Mage, a powerful profession, requires the discovery of the true name of things, and once the true name is known, the power to directly control it is gained.

For example, the word 'Jin' in Huo's mind was just an ordinary word, but it was actually the real name of the small metal ball in Silent's hand.

By silently reciting the true name of the metal ball, one can control it at will to launch attacks with immense power and low energy consumption.

The difficulty of this profession lies in knowing the true name of things. The true name is extremely important to anything and cannot be easily given to others.

A mage who possesses several true names is powerful; conversely, a mage who possesses no true names is considered bottom-tier, at the very bottom of the hierarchy.

Silence undoubtedly possesses several different true names.

After chatting for a while, seeing that Chen Mo seemed to be a veteran of this battlefield, Huo asked him the question that had been bothering him.

That's why Blade feels so 'weak', not at all like a legend.

Faced with Huo Huan's question, he remained silent for a moment before offering an explanation.

"Actually, Blade isn't a legend in the true sense, but her combat skills are extremely close to those of a legend, and in some aspects, she even surpasses some legends." The silent explanation shocked Huo.

Before Huo could ask further, he remained silent and continued.

"In reality, the three legendary Zerg are only close to legendary strength. True legends are not so easy to create."

"You mean...?"

"You're right. Although these three 'legendary' Zerg cannot be mass-produced, because they have complete genetic sequences, the Hive can create a new one at any time if one of them dies."

"It seems to be restricted by some rule: only when the previous generation dies can a new generation be created."

"As early as when the Zerg created three 'legends,' players had already tried to deal with them. However, every time they killed one, a new individual would appear shortly afterward. Although they were almost indistinguishable in appearance, some players were still able to detect subtle differences in their mental fluctuations."

After hearing the silent explanation, Huo suddenly realized why Blade gave him a completely different feeling.

It turns out it was just a fake legend, the kind that allows for infinite 'resurrection' as long as there are enough resources.

This explains why these three legendary creatures are still active on the battlefield after so long, and why the swarm seemed so indifferent when Huo killed one of them.

It turns out that these three so-called legends were just consumables of the Zerg, and could only exist as individual entities due to some kind of rule restriction.

It all felt like a real-time strategy game, with ordinary Zerg units as units and these legendaries as heroes.

Units can be produced infinitely as long as resources are plentiful, while heroes are unique individuals who can be resurrected by spending resources after death.

Everything seems to make sense now, so who made this rule?

Huo shook his head, shaking off the doubts in his mind. He decided it wasn't time to think too far ahead now; he should wait until he achieved legendary status before considering it.

After having a long chat with Huo, he silently prepared to take his leave.

He only offered his help because he happened to be passing by. Since he had other things to do, he didn't stay long. After adding Huo as a friend, he left alone.

On the other side, Huo began collecting the spoils of war after saying goodbye to the silence.

Silence looked down on the corpses of these Zerg, but for Huo, they were a source of experience.

After a long period of work, they finally managed to collect all the corpses on the ground.

After dealing with the battlefield, Huo didn't linger and took Isia back to the gravedigger's hut.

This time it was a huge windfall; the Book of Collections gained over 3 new items, enough for Huo to level up again.

besides……

Huo Huan had a sudden thought and summoned the Book of Collections, turning to the latest page.
