Monster collectors on the cross-platform

The worker insects below froze for a moment, then streams of pale red blood were drawn from their bodies, gathered in mid-air, and were then absorbed by Huo Huan.

The Zerg also have blood, though not as much as other creatures, but clearly, under Leticia's control, this blood is enough to kill these worker Zerg.

Leticia's move killed half of the worker insects below, and her precise control made Huo nod slightly in approval.

As for the remaining half, it was naturally given to Etricia.

Chapter 158 Insect Swarm

Seeing that Leticia had successfully completed the task, Etris, not to be outdone, drew her sword and charged at the remaining worker insects.

Compared to Leticia, who leans towards mages, Etris is more inclined towards warriors.

Therefore, when it comes to clearing out these weak monsters, Etris is no match for Leticia.

However, compared to before, the evolved Etris has become much stronger and faster, making it much easier for her to deal with these worker insects.

Basically, with one sword strike, the worker insect is cleaved in two.

Within minutes, this considerable number of worker insects had all died at the hands of the two men.

After absorbing all of its blood, Huo summoned the Book of Collections to collect all the remains of these worker insects.

Race name: Worker bee

Introduction: This species originated from a type of savage bee on the planet Edsion. After undergoing genetic recombination due to swarm mutation, it has evolved into its current form and serves as the basic work unit for the Zerg race.

Trait: Energy Storage

Energy Storage: Worker bees can ingest any organic matter and convert it into easily absorbed nutrients. Once loaded, the player's digestive ability is greatly enhanced, and they can store energy and nutrients in their body as much as possible.

Isn't this just a transport vehicle that can store energy?

After reviewing the characteristics of worker bees, Huo also gave his own evaluation.

After putting away the book of his collection, Huo stood still and waited.

Generally, when a worker bee is attacked, the Zerg combat units will quickly arrive at the scene to deal with the enemy.

However, Huo stood there for several tens of minutes, but still did not receive any Zerg reinforcements.

"Strange, where did these bugs go?" Huo scratched his head in confusion, then stopped waiting in place and looked around to see if there were any new Zerg units.

As for those creeps, although they are important to Zerg units, for Huo Huan, they are neither easy to completely destroy nor of much benefit; they are practically useless.

Spreading his wings, Huo led the two women to continue patrolling the area, hoping to encounter other alien insects.

Soon, Huo encountered other alien insects again, but this time they were not worker bees with little combat power, but a large group of alien dragons.

As the basic flying unit of the Zerg, the Malaric is not weak. Although its defensive capabilities may not be outstanding, it has considerable destructive power and mobility.

The dense swarm of strange dragons in the sky immediately spotted Huo Huan and his two companions in the air, and then rushed over in a swarm.

As they flew closer, the alien dragons raised their tails, aimed them at Huo Huan and his companions, and then spewed out blade insects from their tails.

Bladebugs fly very fast and can split into several pieces to launch splash attacks.

Of course, these attacks were nothing to Huo Huan. Even if they could break through the armor's defenses, Huo Huan's own defenses were by no means weak.

Even if you stand still and let these blade insects hit you, at most you'll only get a small cut, or at worst, a superficial injury.

But this is a bit of a problem for Etris and Leticia.

There were so many blade insects that they were so densely packed that they almost occupied the entire surrounding space.

Therefore, the two had no choice but to quickly unite.

After merging, not only will their energy be combined and their physical attributes increased, but their control over various energies will also be strengthened.

Especially in terms of blood manipulation, Leticia, being a vampire herself, is quite adept at it.

This ability is further enhanced after merging with Etris.

However, the ability to manipulate blood is not very effective against the Blade Insects. These insects, which are almost used as weapons, enter their death countdown after being launched by the Alien Dragon.

Moreover, due to the Blade Insect's unique structure, it has very little blood inside. In addition, due to the Blade Insect's special physiological structure, even Leticia, after combining, has difficulty controlling the Blade Insect after it is launched.

However, the enhancement after fusion is not limited to this. Isia (the fused form) raised her hands, and the four elements surrounded her, forming an elemental barrier around her.

Countless blade insects crashed into the barrier and were annihilated by the elements.

While casting the elemental barrier, Isia can also manipulate the blood of the surrounding dragons with ease.

However, there were simply too many alien dragons around, and even with all her might, Isia could only control a small portion of them.

Seeing this, Huo didn't rush directly towards the group of alien dragons. Instead, he used his blood manipulation ability to join forces with Isia to attack the group of alien dragons.

In an instant, the strange dragons in the sky seemed to have time bombs installed inside their bodies, with one after another their bodies expanding and bursting open due to the blood inside them.

The strange dragons in the sky fell like dumplings, but before they even touched the ground, they were immediately captured by Huo.

As for the blood of the alien dragon, Huo Huan didn't let it go either; he absorbed it all and converted it into life energy.

With their combined efforts, the number of alien dragons is decreasing rapidly, no longer the dense swarm that once covered the sky.

However, such a large number of deaths obviously attracted the attention of other Zerg units.

The first to notice this situation was Ohmu, a senior scout.

Overlords are Zerg units that serve as advanced scouts and also act as messengers for the Mbrane. In addition, they can spread creep, making them a versatile support unit.

At this moment, the first to discover the situation was a king insect.

After observing the rapid deaths of the alien dragons, the Overlord immediately issued an order to transmit the information back to the mother hive, and at the same time began to mobilize the Zerg army to encircle Huo and his companion.

Just as the two finished dealing with all the alien dragons and were preparing to search for other alien dragons, a rustling sound suddenly entered Huo Huan's ears.

Huo paused for a moment, then turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.

A massive swarm of insects surged toward him like a tidal wave. With just a quick glance, Huo discovered several different Zerg units, including Zerglings, Booms, Hydralisks, and Ultralisks.

Not only that, several enormous flying units resembling rays also flew in from the sky. These were the Zerg's aerial siege units—the Brood Lords.

"Holy crap, let's go!" The sheer number of Zerg units made Huo's scalp tingle, and he immediately called out to Isiah to prepare for a retreat.

There were simply too many Zerg, but if Huo didn't retreat while they were encircling him, he was afraid he would be directly trapped by the Zerg swarm.

It's not that they can't wait, but they can't afford to wait. The Zerg have almost an entire planet as a supply, allowing them to continuously mass produce troops, but Huo's energy is limited.

Even if life energy can heal injuries, there is a fear that once Huo Huan's internal energy is depleted, the life energy absorbed will be less than the energy consumed.

Moreover, the Zerg are not without legendary units. Upon entering the battlefield, Huo immediately checked the files in the chat channel and found that the Zerg had at least three legendary units.

Chapter 159 Tactical Withdrawal

However, even if he were to run, Huo wouldn't flee blindly; he would at least have to harvest a batch of enemies to make it worthwhile.

After calling out to Isia, Huo took the lead and flew towards the sea. However, Huo did not increase his speed to the maximum, but maintained a speed similar to that of the main insect swarm.

During the flight, in addition to fending off the swarm's long-range attacks, Huo also did not forget to retaliate with various long-range means.

Fire, rock, storm, blood manipulation—using whatever works best—and for a time, they managed to fight the swarm to a standstill.

However, this inevitably consumes a lot of energy in the body.

Seeing this, Huo simply used up all of his dragon breath attacks for the day.

Compared to pure elemental attacks, dragon breath is significantly more offensive, not to mention that Huo is using composite dragon breath.

In a short time, many Zerg units were killed by Huo Huan's dragon breath, either by corrosion or burning, which made considerable progress in Huo Huan's containment efforts.

As for the dimensional collapse and Spider God incarnation, which are his trump cards, Huo does not intend to use them yet.

While Dimensional Collapse is powerful and has a wide range, it leaves no corpses after the skill is cast, which does not align with Huo Huan's objective.

The Spider God incarnation is better suited for dealing with single, powerful targets, but not so well for handling such a large number of monsters. Its killing efficiency may not be higher than that of using elemental attacks.

However, the Death's Aura skill can be used.

Huo Huan had a sudden thought and immediately activated the Death God's Aura.

Now, Etris and Leticia have both evolved once and are currently in a combined state, so resisting the damage from the Death Aura is no problem.

However, the Death Radiance did not achieve the effect that Huo had expected.

A wave of deathly light emanated from Huo Huan's body, sweeping across the swarm of insects following behind. Indeed, a small portion of the insects were immediately harmed by the energy erosion.

However, a significant number of Zerg have passed the constitution test of the Reaper's Aura and are temporarily able to ignore its effects.

Those Zerg affected by the Grim Reaper's aura would withdraw from the pursuit after a while and return to the creep to heal their injuries.

Huo couldn't possibly turn back and bring those Zerg affected by the Death God's aura back into his sphere of influence.

Clearly, this isn't the first time the Zerg have faced aura-type abilities, and the experienced Zerg now have ample ways to deal with them.

Ordinary Zerg units may not possess this intelligence, but the Overlords, as command messengers, certainly do.

However, since the Queen Insect is currently hidden within the swarm, Huo has no way of detecting its exact location, so he has no choice but to give up.

Huo wasn't too bothered by the failure of the Death God's Aura; he only missed out on a little more. Given the density of the Zerg on this planet, he wasn't short of targets for his collection.

In the chase, Huo and his companion soon spotted the sea in the distance.

After estimating the energy within his body, Huo turned around and opened his arms as he approached the ocean, releasing a torrent of energy from his body.

Lava storm

Endless flames mixed with scorching rocks flew towards the swarm of insects, who were in pursuit and did not expect Huo to suddenly launch such a powerful attack at this moment.

Caught off guard, many Zerg players plunged headlong into the lava storm that resembled magma.

Feeling the energy dwindling, Huo decided to stop while he was ahead. After using the Book of Collection to contain the surrounding corpses, he took Isia and plunged headfirst into the sea.

The Zerg behind them naturally wouldn't give up; whether they crawled on the ground or flew in the sky, they all followed into the sea.

As a cosmic race, they naturally have no worries about survival in the ocean.

However, once the swarm entered the ocean, there was no trace of Ho and Isia.

Upon seeing this, the Zerg, who had just entered the sea, immediately began searching the surrounding area.

After searching for several tens of minutes without finding Huo and the other person, the swarm of insects began to retreat in an orderly manner under the control of the King Insect.

Faced with a minor setback, the Zerg, who are not prone to much emotion, were naturally not upset. For the Zerg, this incident was just a small ripple on their path of expansion, not even a splash.
