Monster collectors on the cross-platform

The dark red and bright red blood began to gradually merge, eventually becoming a single mass.

The next instant, the blood transformed into a human form, and the woman whom Huo had personally tasted yesterday reappeared.

With her pure golden hair, fair skin, and stunning figure, Huo Huan realized that the woman in front of him not only resembled Idris in some ways, but also looked somewhat like Leticia.

If you were to say that the woman in front of you is their daughter, I believe most people wouldn't disagree.

No, in terms of physique, Etris and Leticia look more like the woman's daughters.

"You've merged, so whose consciousness is now in control?"

"Both Leticia and I are still conscious, it's just that she doesn't like to talk."

Are they still conscious? So it's just a simple fusion?

That's not right either. Even a simple fusion wouldn't cause such a drastic change in appearance.

Huo then launched a series of studies on the fusion of the two women.

Firstly, in terms of energy, there isn't much difference; it's basically the sum of the two women's original energies.

In terms of abilities, she inherited the abilities of both women. However, because she now has two consciousnesses, she can easily perform various seemingly multitasking operations.

It doesn't seem like there's much change, but Huo still noticed some differences.

That was Huo Huan's enchantment. The two of them each had three different enchantments from Huo Huan. Now that they have merged into one, they have inherited the power of all the enchantments.

In other words, in its current fused state, the fused entity has 6 enchantment abilities.

Especially now that all four elements have been collected, it's significantly stronger than before.

After testing the combined abilities, Huo then began trying to enchant the two women further.

The enchantment failed when I was working on the fourth piece, and I don't know if I can continue working on the next one now.

Since both of them were present, Huo immediately grabbed them and began to attack.

After slightly adjusting the positions of the two women's enchanted patterns, Huo also selected some of his collection as materials.

Because the high-quality collectibles he possesses are all unique pieces, Huo also needs them for his own use.

Therefore, this time, Ho chose the orcish traits of ferocity and resilience for Etris, and the siren traits for Leticia.

Because Leticia likely possesses the talent to learn the Symphony of Fate, Hogan assigned her the Siren's traits.

The character development went smoothly, and soon the two women gained their own unique abilities.

However, the enchanting process inevitably involves some touching, and Etric is not an honest and obedient person. Huo Huan was quickly aroused by Etric.

This time, Etricia and Leticia did not combine their powers, but Etricia did not let Leticia off the hook, and directly grabbed Leticia and dragged her into the melee as well.

It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that the group slowly emerged from Huo Huan's room.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Elise sitting on the sofa in the living room, legs crossed, watching a TV series.

From an angle that Huo couldn't see, Eris, who had also gone out with Huo, bared her teeth at Elise in a provocative manner.

Elise seemed unmoved by this, only revealing a meaningful smile.

After lunch, Huo began arranging the remaining items in his collection.

Huo tried investing in Etricia's page, but after seeing that even after investing hundreds of collectibles, the progress bar was still less than 1%, he decisively stopped.

The current collection only has a little over 1 items. Even if all of them were invested, it would be impossible to make Etris or Leticia evolve again.

Then let's level up first.

With this in mind, Huo also turned all the extra collections he had into his own experience.

Huo Huan's experience bar immediately began to grow rapidly, and just as he was about to reach level 12, all his extra collections were used up.

A quick estimate suggests that these 1+ collectibles have given Huo nearly 8 experience points.

The experience gained from converting the artifacts collected in regular dungeons is significantly greater than what you would gain from collecting them in regular dungeons.

Perhaps this is the difference between a real battlefield and a regular instance?

Huo was still unsure, but whether he had more or less experience wouldn't affect his attitude towards conquering dungeons.

After dealing with the excess collection, the next step is to see if there are any new real battlefields.

The previous real battlefield, "Invasion of the Underworld," has ended. Although players can still enter, the biggest enemy is gone, meaning there are only some peripheral or hidden rewards left.

Given Huo's current condition, going in would be a complete waste of time; it would be better to find another battlefield.

The new battlefield was successfully drawn yesterday.

Looking at the newly added "Insect Swarm Disaster" in the dungeon list, Huo still had the urge to go in and try it out immediately. However, before that, he should first clear the other two normal dungeons. After all, even a small amount of work is still work.

Chapter 157 Zerg

Quickly use up the remaining dungeon attempts, and now it's time to prepare to enter the new real battlefield.

Similar to the last time, the name of this real battlefield is very clear, and it is immediately obvious that the main opponent this time is the Zerg.

However, the Zerg forces are quite vast and powerful, and theoretically, they are not forces that someone of Huo Huan's level can come into contact with.

Therefore, to find out the exact situation, Huo still needs to enter the instance to gather information.

After getting ready, Huo and his group quickly entered the instance.

Stepping through the portal, when Huo Huan could see his surroundings again, he found himself in what appeared to be a completely enclosed fortress.

Instead of immediately asking around for information, Huo opened the panel and selected to join a chat channel.

[Network notification: Player '尽栗了' has joined the current channel]

[Chat text translation module is now loaded]

[Current number of online users: 12576]

Compared to the previous battlefield, there were more players in this battlefield, but Huo still looked at the occasional players passing by and didn't feel that there were many of them.

Ignoring the players' messages in the chat channel, Huo quickly located the information file within the chat channel.

After glancing through the documents, Huo finally understood his current situation.

First and foremost, the enemy.

The enemy is indeed the Zerg that has ravaged multiple planes, but the Zerg in this plane were accidentally stranded here and have not yet evolved to the point where they can traverse the universe.

In other words, as long as the Zerg hive on this planet is destroyed, this plane can survive under the Zerg's fangs.

Secondly, there's the situation of intelligent beings in this dimension.

The current plane was originally dominated by the human race. Although they had not yet developed the technology of space travel, their overall technological level was still quite good.

However, when the Zerg accidentally ended up on this planet and began to develop, the native Terrans unsurprisingly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Now, it's almost at the point of barely surviving.

Fortunately, this dimension was discovered by the network at this time, and with the help of other players, a survival fortress was barely established underground.

Currently, hundreds of such underground fortresses exist, barely sustaining the native human race. There are virtually no other creatures on the surface; all humans have moved underground.

After understanding the situation, Huo's goal in coming to this battlefield became very simple.

Once you leave the fortress and return to the surface, the battle can begin.

Nowadays, while the Earth's surface isn't entirely overrun by Zerg, the land has been largely conquered by them. If it weren't for the arrival of players, the Zerg would probably have already evolved interstellar travel and begun spreading throughout the universe.

Having learned the basic situation, Huo led the three directly toward the fortress exit.

Because Huo is still a player on the network, and the underground fortress was built with the assistance of other players, Huo can move freely in most areas of the underground fortress.

Leaving the fortress gates directly, and looking at the winding and complex passageway before him, Huo thought for a moment, then put away Iris and, along with Etricia and Leticia, began to burrow underground.

Elise's true form is too weak. Without activating her Spider God incarnation, she would require Huo and the others to take care of her. It would be better to simply take her back to the exhibition hall.

With the earth element's ability to burrow underground, Huo Huan's movements became much faster. He didn't need to worry about the winding underground passages and could ascend directly and quickly.

As he approached the ground, Huo moved slightly away from the underground fortress before emerging from underground.

As soon as I stepped out, I was greeted by the scorching sun, and not far away was the sea, with several coconut trees growing vigorously by the shore.

It seems the Zerg haven't yet expanded to the ocean, probably because of player sniping, which has forced the Zerg's development to slow down.

After glancing at the ocean, Huo then spread his wings, preparing to fly into the sky to check the situation.

Etricia and Leticia followed closely behind. With the advantage of flight and the fact that all three were quite fast, Ho quickly spotted a patch of dark red plants.

“Those must be Zerg fungal carpets,” Etric said, pointing to the dark red plants growing on the ground.

"Hmm, there should be Zerg not far away." Huo nodded upon seeing this. Creep is the most iconic 'structure' of the Zerg. It not only provides supplies for the Zerg army but also speeds up their march. At the same time, it is also an important source of intelligence and energy for the Zerg.

The Zerg collect all life on the surface not only to provide energy for the hive, but also to make room for creep to grow.

Therefore, there must be Zerg troops near the creep.

Looking at the dark red fungal carpet, Huo suddenly remembered the fungal communicator in his spatial backpack. Come to think of it, the fungal carpet was also a fungus. He wondered if he could try to contact it.

Thinking of this, Huo immediately took out the fungal communicator from his pocket, then injected energy into it, attempting to make contact with the fungal carpet.

Good news! The mat is indeed a fungus, and the fungal communicator has successfully made contact with it.

Bad news: Creep refused to provide any information.

Strangely, the creep did not transmit Huo Huan's message to the mother nest, as if Huo Huan and the others were invisible.

Fine, since there's no shortcut, I'll just have to find it myself.

After putting away the fungal communicator, Huo and the two women quickened their pace and soon spotted some Zerg figures in the distance.

Not far away, some creatures that looked like enlarged cockroaches were rapidly munching on the vegetation, not even sparing insects or other animals, until their bellies were bulging out, before they dragged their three pairs of thoracic legs back to the fungal carpet.

As soon as they returned to the fungal carpet, these cockroach-like insects began to ruminate, converting what they had swallowed into a milky white nutrient solution, which they then poured into the fungal carpet.

Is this a Zerg worker? Why does it look like this?

Huo frowned as he looked at the worker insect, which resembled a cockroach.

The original worker insects resembled scorpions in appearance, completely different from their current form. It seems that the mother nest on this planet extracted the genes of cockroaches and reprogrammed the worker insects.

Upon seeing the target appear, Huo didn't rush to take action himself. Instead, Etris and Leticia underwent an evolution, which was a good opportunity to test new methods on these worker insects.

At Huo Huan's prompting, Leticia took the lead and extended a hand to shake hands with the busy worker insects below.
