Evolution

Under the escort of the swarm, Qin Mu did not head to County Town 0203. Instead, he went to the Villa District where the hive mother was first hatched.

This hive mother was too close to the military base. If a military squad happened upon it during a patrol someday, the hive mother would be easily exposed.

Therefore, Qin Mu was here to cover his tracks.

All the Zerg buildings, including the three evolutionary cavities, collapsed automatically at a genetic level, turning into a pool of black liquid.

The swarm collected some dry trees and piled them onto the black liquid. Qin Mu personally poured a barrel of gasoline on top and ignited the flames.

When the last trace of the hive mother disappeared in the blazing inferno, Qin Mu let out a soft sigh.

This hive mother was merely a stepping stone. Its mission was complete; the swarm had grown, and soon more hive mothers would appear in the wilderness.

"Let's go!"

All the Zerg units followed Qin Mu, completely abandoning this hive mother.

Two days later, when Qin Mu arrived near the hive mother in County Town 0203, the swarm was in the midst of a difficult battle.

A group of about eight hundred Raging Bulls, led by a high-level Beast General Raging Bull, were charging ferociously through the swarm, slaughtering.

Although the swarm had mobilized over a thousand Unicorn Wild Boars of the high-level Beast Soldier level to counter-charge, under the command of that high-level Beast General, the swarm's situation was dire. While not a complete rout, there were extremely severe casualties.

Most of the swarm's casualties were caused by that high-level Beast General Raging Bull. With a difference of three levels in strength, even with their numerical advantage, it was very difficult for the swarm to surround and kill it completely.

Monsters at the high-level Beast General level were already very intelligent, not inferior to humans. Every time the swarm was about to complete its encirclement, it would lead its kin and escape.

But even so, the Raging Bull gradually began to feel that something was wrong.

Originally, this Raging Bull was the overlord monster of this area, with a population of over twelve hundred Raging Bulls and two Primary Beast General level Raging Bulls under its command.

The problem was that a group of strange monsters had risen in this area at some point. They had no Beast General leader, and the strongest among them were only high-level Beast Soldiers.

Yet, these monsters had inexplicably united and launched continuous wars against their surroundings, fighting in an extremely frenzied and fearless manner.

Several monster tribes had been wiped out consecutively, and even its own kin had been affected.

In its anger, it led its kin and these monsters into an extremely bloody war.

It killed monster after monster, but the continuous battles left it exhausted despite its strength, and enemies kept pouring in from all sides.

Eventually, its kin suffered heavy casualties, and one of its Primary Beast General level kin was also surrounded and killed.

As a high-level Beast General, when had it ever suffered such a loss?

In the following days, it led its kin to roam the periphery, trying to find an opportunity to kill these strange monsters. It had also learned to be smart, escaping directly after killing a group of Zerg before the swarm could complete its encirclement.

But the bad news was that these monsters were becoming more numerous the more they fought! And its own kin were becoming fewer and fewer.

What unsettled it the most was that it had discovered its own kin among these monsters.

At some point, a group of Raging Bulls had joined these monsters!

Although filled with rage, its considerable intelligence had already made it decide to flee. The numbers of these monsters were growing, and if this continued, it would eventually be killed too!

One last kill, to avenge its kin, and then it would leave!

It thought to itself.

When it thought it could escape as usual this time.

Silently, several short spears shot out from afar.

"Roar—"

The Raging Bull, whose spirit was extremely tense and constantly on guard against attacks from the surrounding swarm, immediately detected the incoming short spears.

It roared furiously, unleashing its speed, exceeding the speed of sound, creating a huge sonic boom!

But no matter how fast it was, how could it outpace short spears controlled by mental power?

Seeing that it couldn't dodge, the Raging Bull turned its head, avoiding vital areas like its eyes, and decided to withstand the damage.

Its defense was among the best for high-level Beast Generals. How could mere short spears injure it?

" Pfft— "

" Pfft— "

" Pfft— "

The sound of short spears piercing flesh echoed. With the inertia of exceeding the speed of sound, the short spears easily pierced its skin, tore through its bones and tendons, mangled its internal organs, and finally penetrated through.

A total of seven short spears pierced its body, pinning it firmly to the ground.

This Raging Bull, powerful and renowned for its defense among high-level Beast Generals, was instantly killed in one blow!

In its fading vision, it saw a youth wearing a black combat suit flying through the air, holding a long spear, with short spears circling around him, like a god of slaughter descending to earth, furiously slaughtering its kin.

"It's a Mental Master! How can this human Mental Master be involved with those monsters?"

This was the last thought that flashed through its mind before it plunged into darkness.

Although Qin Mu was only a mid-level General level Mental Master now, he was wielding ten Series 8 short spears and one Series 9 short spear. Let alone such a high-level General level monster, even a Lord level monster would not dare to face it head-on!

Coupled with Qin Mu's surprise attack, it was instantly killed in one blow.

If it were a head-on fight, this Raging Bull could have exchanged a few blows with Qin Mu and wouldn't have died so quickly.

The ordinary Raging Bulls following behind the high-level beast general Raging Bull saw their leader instantly killed by a human, and the entire Raging Bull herd descended into chaos. Some continued to charge forward, attacking Qin Mu, while others scattered and fled.

While they were in disarray, Qin Mu didn't stand idle. Besides the three short spears that circled and guarded him, the remaining short spears madly slaughtered the Raging Bull herd.

The number of Raging Bulls in the entire herd decreased at an astonishing rate. By the time the Swarm closed in and formed an encirclement, not a single Raging Bull could escape this killing field; they were all annihilated.

Don't think Qin Mu is weak just because he instantly killed a monster at the high-level beast general level with one move.

One must remember that Luo Feng later encountered a heavily injured Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, whose strength was only at the peak of the high-level general level.

Although he killed it using his mid-level general mental master strength, it was by exploiting the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's abdominal wound and directly attacking its internal organs.

When Luo Feng controlled a flying dagger to stab a well-preserved spot on its back, not even a scratch could be seen on the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's hide.

Although this Raging Bull at the high-level beast general level was not as strong overall as the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf at the peak of the high-level general level, its defense alone was superior!

Of course, at that time, Luo Feng's weapon was not as good as Qin Mu's; he only had a Series 6 flying dagger, while Qin Mu was using Series 9 short spears!

After easily slaughtering the entire Raging Bull herd, Qin Mu ordered the Swarm to move their corpses back to the Hive Mother for digestion and absorption into energy.

After digesting these more than eight hundred Raging Bulls, at least tens of thousands of energy points would be provided to the Swarm, which was a timely boon.

This was because the Hive Mother had just reached 100% progress in evolving into a Level 2 Hive Mother. As soon as Qin Mu gave the command, the Hive Mother could begin its evolution.

Returning to the underground garage where the Hive Mother was located, Qin Mu felt a surge of excitement. He commanded the Swarm to temporarily halt expansion and hunting, focusing on defense to ensure the safety of the Hive Mother during its incubation.

The underground garage had changed significantly since Qin Mu left. Under the excavation of the worker bugs, several meters of ground had been dug out, centered around the Hive Mother, forming a massive space sufficient for the Hive Mother to evolve to Level 2.

Qin Mu's low voice rang out.

"Hive Mother, begin evolution!"
