Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Body Collector
"What the hell is this?" Xue Hua frowned and observed the battle situation through the perspective of the insect swarm, the arms under the monster curtain were almost endless, and if one was broken, more would immediately reach out from the curtain, and there were more and more weapons on the newly stretched out arms.
"Domination, the target's biological signals are extremely chaotic, and the flow of psionic signals in the body is very mechanically stiff, it is possible to judge that the target is not a pure organism, and the specific information needs to be obtained from the target to make an accurate judgment.
It is recommended that you keep the swarm at its current attack intensity, and hatch Poison Blasters to bombard them intensively. ”
Isha suggested this to Xue Hua in the mind of the main nest.
"Got it! Mother worms! Hatch the Poison Explosion Worm now! ”
With Xue Hua's order, dozens of jumping insects immediately egged on the spot, and dozens of seconds later, dozens of mutated poisonous explosive insects covered with hard bone plates appeared in the rear of the Zerg's attacking troops.
They used the characteristics they had acquired in their early advancing, using the black sharp spikes on their bodies to cling to the cave walls on both sides, and rushed directly at each other from the flanks past the Zerg attacking troops in front of them.
Boom Boom Boom!!
Soon, a violent roar resounded in the cave, and the dark green acid mist instantly covered the monster inside.
With the acid mist of the poisonous explosion and the scattered bone plate fragments, the shadow insects successfully broke away from the entanglement of the other party and returned to the swarm troops in the rear.
At the same time, the two mother worms hissed loudly again, and the swarm immediately took the opportunity to launch a new round of offensive against the target.
The explosive spines of the stinging snakes "slashed" through the air, and when they fell into the acid mist, they produced a round of small explosions.
The cockroaches and exterminators forced their way into the acid mist and launched a pursuit of the enemy.
The acid mist produced by the explosion of the poisonous explosion insect was quickly dispersed by the aftermath of the battle, and the figure of the monster appeared in front of Xue Hua's eyes again.
At this time, the curtain covering it had been completely corroded by the acid mist, revealing the terrifying body that had been hidden before.
After seeing its true appearance, Xue Hua couldn't help but gasp again.
This thing is a collection of corpses!
Its large, bloated body was made entirely of a mass, glued together of human bodies, which melted and mixed like glue, and all sorts of pale limbs were exposed as dense as the hair of a beast.
The grim white and cold woman's face at the front of the corpse was connected to the terrifying body behind it by something like a metal pipe, and streams of psionic blue mist poured from the translucent pipe into the miserable white oozing woman's skull, as if supplying the energy of the thing's activities.
After the explosion of the poisonous explosion insect just now, a large number of sunken wounds appeared on the monster's body, and some outermost adhesion of the not very strong corpse fell off its body, and fell to the ground with a "snapping" sound that made people's scalp tingle.
"Ahem...... Xue Hua coughed violently twice, and forcibly pressed the nausea that had already surged to the throat.
After experiencing several brutal battles in the rainforest, Xue Hua thought that he had completely adapted to human corpses and all the bloody and terrifying scenes, but what he saw in front of him still put his nerves, which he thought were quite tenacious, to the test.
"What the hell is this! Tear it down for me! ”
He roared in the mind of the main nest, urging the worm mothers to intensify their attacks, and the worm mothers immediately began to hatch more poisonous explosive insects, bombarding the disgusting corpse fusion monster in waves.
After a few minutes, the thing had finally depleted its psionic reserves, the cold light from its grim woman's grimace slowly dimmed, and the corpse on its body no longer "grew" more pale arms.
As the last wave of poisonous explosions jumped from the stone wall onto the thing and blew itself up, the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground finally sounded in the green acid mist cloud.
"Juggernaut, the target's bio-signals and psionic signals have all disappeared, so you can tell that the target has been destroyed."
In the mind of the main nest, Isha's words finally made Xue Hua breathe a sigh of relief.
He was glad that he hadn't decided to go in and explore the cave with the worm mothers, otherwise he would have vomited by this time.
"Let the Mother Worms clean up the battlefield, and the infected find valuable target tissues and hand them over to the Mother Worms to teleport back to Leviathan.
Also, you just said this thing isn't a pure creature? ”
Xue Hua cut off the visual sharing of the mind of the main nest, and then asked Isha as he gave the order.
"That's right, Juggernaut, the swarm's assault further proves my suspicion that this enemy is not a pure creature, but some kind of psionic mechanical creation, and the human corpses that encased it were probably collected and absorbed from its body."
"You mean... This thing is collecting human corpses? What is its purpose? Also, where did it collect so many corpses? ”
Hearing Isha's words, Xue Hua frowned a little puzzled.
At present, it seems that since this thing is a psionic machine, it must be related to the Sarnagar laboratory in the cave, but if the Sarnagar created this thing, then what is it collecting human corpses for?
Also, King's Port has always been peaceful and stable, where did so many corpses come from to collect for it?
"Juggernaut, our adversary has great biotechnological prowess, and collecting human corpses must have its unknown uses, and as for the origin of these corpses... Judging from the weapons and tools held in the hands of these human corpses, it is possible that most of these humans were engaged in ocean-related activities during their lifetimes, and they are most likely the bodies of human sailors who died in shipwreck. ”
"I see!" Isa's words made Xue Hua suddenly realize.
King's Harbor is indeed peaceful, but the sea hunters and the cargo ships that go to sea to do business cannot always return safely and uneventfully.
In addition, the Twin Seas outside of King's Harbour are inhabited by countless terrifying beasts and the vagaries of the Twin Seas, where a ship dies almost every few days with a full crew of people.
Most of the corpses of these hapless crew members had been eaten by schools of scavenging fish, but even a small fraction remained, enough to collect the thing they had just seen.
"But in this case, that Sarnagar must have its use for collecting human corpses, and since there are so many human corpses, it means that there is a good chance that there will be more than one such thing!"
Xue Hua nodded thoughtfully, and then gave a new order to Isha in the mind of the main nest.
"Let the worm mothers be vigilant! When I come across something like this, blow it up with a poisonous bug!
I'd like to see how many of these corpse collectors this guy has in the lab! ”
