Chapter 872: Chapter 645: Blood and Flesh Worm Tower
Mu Fan arrived at the ultimate goal of the 131st planet, the overlord level Zeg… Giant Corruptor!
At this moment, it finally emerged from the underground.
When those gigantic and sinister eyes scanned from side to side, the greenish light was as dazzling as searchlights.
Thick green corrosive poison liquid dripped onto the thick layer of fallen leaves, hissing and emitting a strange white smoke, melting pits of varying sizes.
The massive body continued to float upward without any visible flesh wings or propulsion device; this terrifying Giant Corruptor was actually hovering in mid-air.
The white fat worm, only about five meters long, chirped softly again, and the massive body of the Giant Corruptor froze, cooperating perfectly to hover mid-air.
There was no dissatisfaction with the command from the white fat worm; on the contrary, the eyes even showed submission!
In Black’s database, from beginning to end, the Giant Corruptor was known as the highest existence on this planet.
However, at this moment, this existence, far surpassing a lord, obeyed a plump white worm, an absolutely unreasonable phenomenon.
Moreover, the most crucial point was that this white fat worm was not found in Black’s database at all.
In the information it acquired, all final actions of the Zeg should be under the command of this Giant Corruptor, given the Zeg Clan’s exceptionally strict hierarchy.
This not only contradicted Black’s inferred data but even introduced a variable.
The most crucial point is — Mu Fan and Black are completely unaware of this sole variable.
This white fat worm, like the king among these insects, radiated an invisible force field centered on itself to an extremely distant range.
From afar, the jet tiger insect units that died en masse also delivered the information they gathered before dying.
The overwhelming flames, tearing warplanes, and all-encompassing fire rain were all transmitted into the white fat worm’s… brain.
The hundreds of thousands of hidden insects around quietly waited for the worm’s instructions; none disturbed its “thinking”.
Within a few seconds, its tiny bean-like eyes emitted a kind of human-like glow, showing no fear or sorrow, only a pre-hunting cruelty.
“Zee zee.”
Once more, insect chirping echoed, and the countless insects surrounding this place began retreating in layers.
From the low-level to high-level, wave after wave.
An eyeless, giant centipede-like insect raised its distinctive ink-colored pincers at the outermost layer, shrouded them in a misty black gloss, and forcefully stabbed down.
The ground began revealing a pitch-black hole as if it were melting, heaps of soil rising high as the enormous brown centipede disappeared into the hole.
Momentarily, dozens of similar pits appeared, and the insects retreating like a tide entered these pits, vanishing without a trace.
Giant lurkers, Corruptors, Golden Sand Scorpions…
These exceedingly rare high-level Zeg also successively disappeared into the largest cavern.
From the gloomy forest canopy soared a mass of dark clouds, which upon close inspection were countless flying winged dragons, vastly more than the batch Mu Fan had encountered.
When the insect swarm completely dispersed, the vast forest returned to silence, only occasionally hearing the drip of the Giant Corruptor’s saliva.
Only then did the white fat worm have leisure, squirming contentedly, attempting to look around, though perhaps too fat to turn beyond 180 degrees, prompting it to chirp again.
The massive Giant Corruptor beneath obediently rotated its body at its behest, lightly knocking into the century-high giant trees and slicing their thick trunks in half.
With the body rotating, the white fat worm finally surveyed the entire surroundings, squirmed in satisfaction, and chirped again, signaling the Giant Corruptor to move aside.
The sound of giant trees collapsing continuously resounded as the Giant Corruptor vacated the area it had ascended from, and at the crisp insect chirping, countless tiny beetles emerged from beneath the thick layer of fallen leaves.
At this moment, all their heads were securing a face-sized, sparkling stone with pincers.
The fallen giant trees allowed the dim light to pour down, refracting colorful hues upon reaching the “stones”.
The white fat worm observed the ground from above, as the tens of thousands of beetles began arranging the stones in a specific pattern.
Every beetle had a precise position, crawling to the spot and placing the stone down with accuracy..
A layer of bizarrely complex crystal stone patterns began to spread along the giant pit.
From above, it resembled a kaleidoscope pattern expanding continuously outward from the center.
The beetles tirelessly transported the stones; if Black could witness this scene, he would undoubtedly be shocked.
Because these crystals are the planet’s most crucial strategic resource — High Crystal Stones!
The Shadow Fleet’s warships are entirely powered by this highly compressed solid energy.
In Black’s understanding, these supposed low-level Zegs should have no capability in mastering these crystal stones.
Yet the facts at hand completely contradicted the data Black had!
From this moment on, Black’s intel already contained an extremely serious error.
Diameter 300 meters, 350 meters, 400 meters…
Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of crystal stones arranged intricately formed a pattern that seamlessly blended with the central large pit.
The white fat worm maintained the motion of gazing down for a full hour without moving.
At this moment, the tiny bean-like eyes were fully engrossed in a focus and… reverence?
As the massive crystal stone formation expanded to nearly a 500-meter diameter, the white fat worm finally took action.
It raised its head and called out.
The flat beetles withdrew like a tide from the crystal stone formation, then gathered neatly into… eight positions.
In the calm gaze of the white worm, thousands of beetles at these eight positions began to madly cluster together.
Once stacked, they emitted a sticky reddish-brown liquid, covering their bodies.
Gradually, eight towers of flesh began taking shape, from one meter high to five meters, then to 20 meters, 30 meters…
Eventually, all beetles in the jungle depths vanished entirely, leaving only the 50-meter high Blood and Flesh Worm Towers!
Thick brown membranes completely enveloped these worm towers’ surfaces, pulsating rhythmically like a heart, proving their unbelievable vitality.
A dull vibration sounded, growing increasingly intense.
Suddenly, the thick fungus blanket at the base of the worm towers began showing sizable protruding marks, with two projections extending from each of the eight worm towers, forming a complete ring within ten seconds.
They then began resonating at the same frequency.
Buzz!
Numerous bloody tendrils abruptly emerged from the fungus blanket, extending rapidly from outside to inside, originating from the Blood and Flesh Worm Towers.
These tendrils, resembling exposed veins, precisely covered the crystal stones.
In a matter of moments, the entire crystal stone formation turned completely red, akin to a blooming sea of blood-hued flowers.
“Zee…”
A faint insect chirping echoed, and with a buzz, the outermost circle of crystal stones suddenly lit up!
The hue was blood-like, profound!
