...... As soon as the refining of these sand thief captives was completed, Xia Xingxiao received a report that a large number of sand thieves had arrived. Xia Xingxiao immediately set off to fight with a new team of puppets. Relying on a powerful team of puppets, he was able to end the battle unscathed every time. And every time he fought, Xia Xingxiao went crazy to capture the surviving sand thieves.

At the end of each battle, the sand thieves captured by Xia Xingxiao were all refined into puppets. After several battles, the number of puppets under Xia Xingxiao's command increased rapidly. Soon it increased to thirty groups, a full three hundred and sixty people. At this time, the No. 22 military camp was basically a puppet world.

Fortunately, all the puppets don't need food, accommodation, or rest. They are basically robots in human form. They can fight twenty-four hours a day, they can be on duty twenty-four hours a day, and they don't feel tired at all. The only thing they need is the power of the stars. And the power of the stars, in the universe, is everywhere and endless.

There are so many puppets that have really attracted the attention of people with a heart. In recent days, the number of unrelated personnel who have come to Barracks No. 22 has increased considerably. The purpose and excuse for their arrival at the No. 22 barracks are also varied, and they have all said anything. Some people even bluntly said that they came to visit the puppet team.

This includes Second Lieutenant Chen Shuai. He now finally figured out why those people looked familiar. These people, ten years ago, were on the same team as him. They also fought together many times. Xia Xingxiao could feel it himself, himself and his puppet troops. are all targeted. These puppets will be exposed sooner or later.

"Paralyzed, it's not a good thing to be exposed......" Xia Xingxiao frowned.

Xia Xingxiao still has a certain understanding of the consequences of these puppets being exposed. With such a large number of puppets, it is bound to cause a lot of uneasiness. They're going to have to remove all the puppets themselves. But how could he agree to them? These puppets are his lifeblood!

Refuse to hand over these puppets. It is inevitable that there will be a conflict with the boss. This is Xia Xingxiao's most unhappy situation. Right now, his rank is still very low, and he can't wrestle with those high-level cultivators. At this time. It is certainly not good to fall out with them. But, isn't it? Do you really want to hand over the puppet troops? Absolutely impossible! Even if you are assigned, it will never be possible!

Frowning and frowning, Xia Xingxiao was still increasing the number of puppets. Group 31, Group 32, Group 33...... On this day, in the process of refining the forty-fourth group of puppets, Xia Xingxiao suddenly felt a violent energy fluctuation from the sand worm larvae. He was immediately overjoyed and immediately terminated the refining process. These five big guys are finally showing signs of upgrading.

Sure enough, not long after, the five sandworm larvae all began the upgrading process one after another. Their upgrades are moving a lot. The power of the stars coming from his body was majestic and even more powerful than that of a thirteenth-level cultivator. Bursts of star power, like a tide, constantly echoed deep underground. If the five sandworm larvae are not hiding deep underground. I'm afraid that the entire Myanmar military base will be alarmed. Even so, I am afraid that the cultivators and high-level leaders of the military base in Myanluo have noticed it.

"Click!"

"Click!"

Deep underground, the bodies of sandworm larvae are constantly torn. And constantly reorganized.

A large amount of star power, condensed into a solid state, filled their bodies. All the torn places were filled with the power of the solid stars, and the body was slowly healed. Since the body of the sand worm larvae is directly fused with the power of the stars, it will become stronger when it grows again. Their bodies are so large that their skin is several meters thick. ...,

At the same time, the power of the stars sealed in the skin is also the best protective layer, which can eliminate a lot of damage from the outside world. Large sandworms can't even kill nuclear missiles, and it is these protective layers that play a huge role. These layers of protection act like the external armor of a tank in the ancient earth era.

The body of the rapidly expanding sandworm larvae arched all the surrounding rock layers, so that the surrounding rock formations seemed to have a slight earthquake. A large number of rock layers are constantly squeezed, displaced, fractured, and reorganized, resulting in continuous aftershocks. Fortunately, the depth of the epicenter was sufficient, and the magnitude of the earthquake was not very large. Otherwise, the cultivators on the surface should all feel it.

Finally, after more than half an hour, the five sandworm larvae completed the entire upgrade process and calmed down one after another. At this time, they are finally genuine fifth-level demon beasts.

The body length of the five sandworm larvae is more than 500 meters, and the diameter of the body is more than 50 meters. Thankfully, they are all hiding deep underground and have little chance of appearing on the planet's surface.

After leveling up, dense spikes appeared on the surface of the five sandworm larvae. Even though the spikes are small, the size of an ordinary rice cooker, and have no obvious openings, they can already fire energy projectiles. They hit out with a single shot, and the power is equivalent to an energy cannon with a caliber of more than 300 mm. If it were an ordinary robot, it would probably fall apart after such a shot.

Moreover, as the level continues to increase, the spikes of the sand worm larvae will continue to expand, and the power of the energy bombs that can be fired will also increase. This is their most basic defensive weapon, which can be described as a phalanx. When the sand worm larvae reach level 10, they can also spit out larger balls of energy from their mouths. This is a powerful weapon that can be easily damaged even by a cruiser. A large sandworm above level 20 was thrown by a ball of energy, and even a large battleship could not resist.

The original talent of sandworm larvae is prospecting. After the promotion, the talent will not change. As their level increases, their prospecting and mining capabilities increase dramatically. Especially when you upgrade from the fourth level to the fifth level, the innate abilities of the five sandworm larvae will be greatly improved.

For all the demon beasts, the fifth, tenth, fifteenth, twentieth, and twenty-fifth levels were all a big watershed. At these levels, all demon beasts will gain abilities that are more than ten times stronger than before. Therefore, as long as this threshold is crossed, the strength will get a qualitative leap.

Specific to the battle, the combat effectiveness of the fourth-level and fifth-level demon beasts is completely different. The same is true for the ninth-level and tenth-level demon beasts. The same goes for levels fourteen and fifteen. The same goes for levels nineteen and twenty. When they were in Huo Luoxing, Xia Xingxiao and the others were very worried about encountering a tenth-level demon beast, and that was the case. A tenth-level demon beast has the combat power equivalent to dozens of ninth-level demon beasts! This is no joke.

Due to the qualitative leap, the storage space in the abdomen of the fifth-level sandworm larvae has increased to more than 25,000 cubic meters. This is definitely great for transporting high-purity ores. With 25,000 cubic meters of storage space, hundreds of thousands of tons of high-purity ore can be transported back and forth once.

Due to the increased ability, the larvae of the current sandworm can dig into a space below 100,000 meters. In the 100,000-meter underground of Ai Ye Star, the types of minerals are more abundant and the purity is also higher. Almost all the minerals that humanity needs can be found here. Naturally, all the mineral deposits needed by the federal army can also be found here. A single deposit of Ai Ye Star is enough for the Federation army to consume for thousands of years. ...,

Of course, the consequence of this is to hollow out the entire Aiye Star. In fact, it's only theoretically possible. In real operation, there is no way for the sand worm larvae to dig all the way to the core of the planet. Unless it's a sandworm larvae strong enough to devour the entire Ai Ye star. Otherwise, once the star core is excavated, the planet will explode, and everything will be gone.

Those super-sized sandworms can indeed devour the planet. It's like a planet the size of the moon, a large sandworm of the twenty-third level, basically one bite at a time. After swallowing it, it does not bring the spit skin and the nucleus. If you swallow it, you will be completely gone. Moreover, in the starry sky world, in addition to large sandworms that will devour planets, there are many behemoths that can also devour the entire planet in one bite.

"It seems that Lao Tzu is about to be upgraded......" While happy, Xia Xingxiao began to look forward to it.

In fact, the biggest good news brought by the upgrade of the five sandworm larvae is that Xia Xingxiao himself is about to be upgraded. Dragged down by the sandworm larvae, he has been confined to the fifth level. As long as the upgrade problem of these five big guys is solved, he can be smoothly promoted to the sixth level.

In other words, Xia Xingxiao at this moment couldn't wait to be promoted to the sixth level.

I can't help Xia Xingxiao if he's not in a hurry, not in a hurry, the sixth level and the fifth level are two completely different concepts.

Advancing to the sixth level means that all martial arts have been cultivated to the second level. The martial arts of the second layer have many more characteristics than the first layer. For example, the Great Shift can perform coordinate teleportation. The Mighty Kong punch can hit eight times as much. The Northern Shengong can truly absorb the internal force of the other party. The twelfth city on the fifth floor of the Immortal Jue can condense the third city: the Exquisite City. The God of War Catalogue can condense a second God of War statue. The power of martial arts such as the eighteen palms of the dragon will be greatly increased......

There is no doubt that as long as he is promoted to the sixth level, Xia Xingxiao's combat effectiveness will definitely be improved by several grades. Among them, what Xia Xingxiao is particularly looking forward to is the coordinate teleportation of the great shift of Qiankun. Only with this special skill can a cultivator be able to truly come and go freely. Secondly, it is the eightfold strength of the Mighty King Kong Fist. Again, it is the second statue of the god of war in the God of War catalog. And then there's the Elite City.
