The Scent of Conspiracy

"Roar~~~"

A Black Crown Golden Eagle soared freely in the sky.

A large number of flying monsters followed behind it. Besides various eagle-type monsters, the most numerous were a group of Golden Vultures.

"I didn't expect that after taming this Black Crown Golden Eagle, I'd get a large batch of eagle-type monsters for free!"

Qin Mu felt elated as he watched the Black Crown Golden Eagle soar through the sky.

After treatment by the Hive Mother, the Black Crown Golden Eagle had recovered. Once it recovered, the Black Crown Golden Eagle gave Qin Mu quite a surprise.

It turned out that the Black Crown Golden Eagle, as a Lord-level monster, was not a loner. It had a vast group of monsters under its command.

Among them were two High-level Beast Generals: one was the Black Crown Golden Eagle, and the other was the Wind Chasing Eagle. There were over ten other types of eagle-like monsters that reached Beast General level, totaling more than fifty. Additionally, there were thousands of Beast Soldier level monsters.

This was no small force, and now it had become part of the Zerg's strength.

If these monsters had all followed the Black Crown Golden Eagle from the beginning, Qin Mu would not have won so easily.

However, when it clashed with Qin Mu, the Black Crown Golden Eagle didn't even have time to summon its subordinates before Qin Mu subdued it.

Not only that, but the Black Crown Golden Eagle, as a Lord-level monster, ruled a certain area. Although it was in the suburbs and not a very large area, it brought considerable benefits to the Zerg's development.

This made Qin Mu want to enslave a few more Lord-level monsters. However, after enslaving the Black Crown Golden Eagle once, Qin Mu's own Mental Power had been significantly depleted. It would take at least another day before he could enslave another.

Finally, the Swarm also found many damaged human weapons and equipment in the Black Crown Golden Eagle's nest. Unfortunately, they were all Beast General level weapons and equipment, not worth much.

But this served as a reminder to Qin Mu.

This city was different from City No. 0203. City No. 0203 was just a small county town in a remote location, so hardly any Warriors went there to hunt monsters.

This city was large, with millions of monsters. Beast General level monsters were everywhere, and Lord-level monsters were abundant. There were even King level monsters appearing in the city, so this city attracted many human Warriors to hunt monsters.

The Zerg had already discovered twelve human Warrior teams.

Fortunately, the city was large, and the Swarm had not yet encountered human Warriors.

Of course, it didn't matter if they met. Qin Mu would not deliberately hunt humans, but if attacked, the Swarm would naturally counterattack.

"I still need to find a way to hunt more monsters and make more money!"

Qin Mu felt a bit distressed because his strength had improved too quickly, and his weapons couldn't keep up with his growth rate.

Originally, Qin Mu had only bought eleven Short Spears, but he hadn't expected to be able to control twelve Short Spears with a little practice.

After the Hive Mother's upgrade, the feedback power not only elevated Qin Mu to Primary War God level but also greatly increased his control. Now, Qin Mu could easily control twenty Short Spears, and even his training equipment was almost insufficient.

This resulted in Qin Mu being unable to unleash his full strength due to the lack of sufficient weapons.

Furthermore, Qin Mu needed a lot of money to purchase the subsequent cultivation techniques of "World Annihilation" and the basics of Mental Mastery.

Just the first two layers of "World Annihilation" alone required 1 billion!

The second purchase did not have a half-price discount.

The first three layers required a staggering 5 billion!

Qin Mu and the Swarm had hunted over sixty Beast General level monsters during this period.

According to the approximate prices of monster materials, the important materials of a Primary Beast General level monster could generally be sold for 5 million to 15 million.

The important materials of a Medium Beast General level monster could generally be sold for 10 million to over 100 million.

The important materials of a High-level Beast General level monster could generally be sold for 50 million to around 600-700 million.

Most of the materials Qin Mu had were from Primary Beast General level monsters, with only a few High-level Beast General level ones. The total price exceeded 3 billion.

This earning speed was already quite fast, but Qin Mu was still not satisfied.

Because there were too many expenses, this amount of money was far from enough. He couldn't even afford the first three layers of "World Annihilation."

Qin Mu couldn't stay in the wilderness forever either. It was already August 16th. Ordinary military school students had already started school on August 12th, followed by a three-month new recruit training.

As a Colonel in the military, Qin Mu, who had joined the Warrior special recruitment class, did not need to participate in new recruit training like ordinary military students. However, he still had to go to the school before the 20th to handle some admission-related matters.

Thanks to the Zerg having flying monsters like the Golden Vulture and the Black Crown Golden Eagle, they didn't need days to travel as before. They could return the same day.

Therefore, the time during these days could be used for making money.

In fact, to earn more money, the Black Crown Golden Eagle had even led its subordinate group to hunt for Qin Mu.

The Black Crown Golden Eagle let out a loud cry and swooped down from the sky.

A High-level Beast General level snake monster was caught in mid-air. With a gentle grip from the Black Crown Golden Eagle, it lost its ability to resist.

While making money, the Swarm also intentionally hunted some amphibious monsters. The Hive Mother had already begun analyzing the genes of some amphibious monsters in preparation for hatching aquatic Zerg.

Just as Qin Mu thought the remaining time would be spent hunting, an accident occurred.

"Beep beep—"

"Beep beep—"

On a street, Qin Mu was hunting monsters when the military combat watch he was wearing suddenly vibrated.

After finishing off all the monsters, Qin Mu raised his hand and checked the information from the military combat watch.

It was a distress signal.

A distress signal from a military warrior squad.

The distress signal stated that this was a squad on a special mission. The team also had a special member who couldn't fight. They were suddenly discovered by a monster swarm and were surrounded. As a last resort, they sent out a distress call to nearby warrior squads.

At first, Qin Mu thought it was just bad luck that the military squad was discovered by monsters.

Since they weren't too far from the military squad, and based on the principle of helping out if they could, Qin Mu dispatched several Golden Vultures and a flock of Gray Cloud Finches to scout ahead and assess the situation.

However, the information transmitted back by the Swarm made Qin Mu realize something was amiss.

Twenty miles from Qin Mu, in the ruins of a residential complex, a six-person military warrior squad was desperately fleeing.

One of the military warriors carried an old man with white hair on his back, and they were protected in the center by the other warriors.

Behind them, thousands of monsters were in hot pursuit, including powerful Beast General level monsters.

Faced with monsters on this scale, even War God level powerhouses would not dare to confront them directly and could only try to evade their attacks.

Two military warriors operated massive heavy machine guns, firing wildly backward in an attempt to block the approaching monsters.

Although the heavy machine guns' attacks were effective.

The commotion caused by the firearms was too great and only attracted more monsters.

This scene wasn't particularly strange. But just as this military squad was making a desperate escape and continuously calling for help.

A Golden Vulture scouting for intelligence discovered another warrior squad not far from this military squad.

Most of the warriors in this squad were Caucasians.

They seemed to be intentionally guiding the surrounding monsters toward the military squad. It was clear this was not normal.

Suddenly, Qin Mu smelled a hint of conspiracy.
