Hundred-Meter Nest Mound's solid door was smashed open by the nearly ten-meter-long Broken-Bone Heavy Club, creating a ferocious gap that was several feet wide.
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Stepping into pieces of black fetal membranes that were rolled and festering, he strode in. The hot air that hit his face was filled with the sour smell of rotten flesh that made his stomach churn.
The rock dome hanging upside down above our head, the rugged stone walls on both sides, and even the muddy Creep under our feet.
As far as the eye can see, densely packed gray-white eggs hanging like bunches of grapes are packed into the huge underground cavity! Although the mother body has died suddenly, those Tier Two evil species that have differentiated into fangs and claws in the egg cavity in advance are squirming violently in the dying crisis, scratching and hitting the membrane frantically, making a harsh noise like thousands of rats eating the door panel!
Tsk--!
A giant egg burst open under the load, and before a Bio-Scythe Leg covered with black barbs could fully stretch, it hit three Armor-Piercing Heavy Spear carrying tremendous power!
Poof!
Black blood spattered everywhere, and Shieldbearer crushed the slimy egg shell with his kick. The heavy ax at his side Berserker used Berserk's momentum to chop it down, and chopped the half of the saved body into meat paste!
Phew--boom!!
Red tongues of fire suddenly rolled out fiercely on both sides of the passage!
The engineers howled and accurately smashed jars of potent gel fuel into the high egg piles, and the fire spread crazily along the dry and weathered nest walls! Countless aberrations that had not broken out of their shells let out shrill screams like babies in the sky-breaking flames, and the violent explosions of slurry in their bodies were like dense rolling thunder, echoing continuously in the Abyss Grotto.
[Vanguard Across the Realm]I don't have the experience to compete for these Tier Two residual monsters.
His figure was like the wind, and he swept straight down along the broken bone channel opened by Warlord. He slashed with his long knife, splitting several thick muscle tendons that were stressed, and finally stepped into the bottom depression of the entire lair.
Several sweaty engineers were working together to carry a bucket of highly concentrated gel fuel, pointing it at the depths of the pit with a grin on their faces, about to pour it down.
"Stop! Don't fall down yet!!"
Stupid!
The pitch-black [Origin Fang] was passed across the air, and the cold knife back firmly held the edge of the tilted iron barrel!
The engineers were startled and subconsciously looked down in the direction pointed by the blade.
In the deepest part of the black dead shell that was torn apart by the long knife, a large piece of dark red living tissue that looked like an ancient Muscle Fiber was slowly swelling and stretching outward with a weak and heavy rhythm.
Every time it rises and falls, the layers of stinky egg beds that press on it begin to creak and tremble unbearably.
That's not the flesh and blood of the lair.
That is... the Primordial Tissue that really lives in this god's body!
Billions of Abyss Black Roots, which are thinner than hair, penetrate deeply into this delicate dark red meridians like gangrene attached to the bone, greedily and endlessly sucking and squeezing out the remaining nectar of life deep in the earth's veins!
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Crouched down and carefully picked up a black pipe with the tip of the knife.
The dark red Primordial Tissue was pulled together to create a deep depression, and behind the passage, the originally quiet Divine Body Weaver brigade instantly accelerated its pace as if it were exploding, and several slender biochemical tentacles stretched anxiously in his direction.
[Vanguard Across the Realm] With a sharp look in his eyes, he turned his wrist slightly, put the blade against the force-bearing edge connecting the black root to the egg bed, and made a violent stroke!
Tsk!
The tough external meridians were completely cut off, and the dark red Divine Membrane underneath slowly fell back to the bottom of the pit as if it had been granted amnesty.
"Pick away the remaining eggs with iron hooks! No one is allowed to set fire to the Sacred Tissue on the bottom floor to free up the construction surface for the Weaver brigade behind!!"
The engineers wiped the cold sweat from their faces, quickly put the fire bucket back on their shoulders, and replaced it with a heavy biochemical anchor and tow hook.
Several Abyss Flesh Cabless as thick as suspension bridges still firmly anchored the entire huge egg bed to the rock wall foundations on both sides. [Vanguard Across the Realm] stepped on the wall and jumped, with the long knife as if entering an uninhabited land, Void death lines flashed alternately, cutting all the thick cables with deep roots into chopped heads flying across the sky!
Rumble--!!
Ancient Warlord, which is more than 20 meters high, roars in!
The giant man inserted the nearly ten-meter-long heavy animal bone rod into the bottom of the loose egg bed. The muscles of his arms bulged and tightened like a horned dragon. With a loud roar that shook the earth, he used his strength to lift the huge egg bed weighing dozens of tons and countless gray eggs. Like a rotten carpet, Berserk was lifted into the open space outside the cave!
"Burn! Burn me hard!!"
The engineers who had been waiting outside swarmed forward, and incendiary bombs rained down like a torrential rain. Waves of incandescent fire rising into the sky swept across the hard stone clearing far away from the meridians of the divine body!
Warlord stood quietly on top of the ruins, not even looking at the monstrous sea of fire.
Its huge body slowly squatted down and held Broken-Bone Heavy Club by its side. Its turbid eyes stared intently at the dark red Divine Membrane below that finally saw the light of day. Deep in its throat, a low, vast, and ancient sound of relief rolled out.
Swish, swish, swish.
Thousands of Divine Body Weaver shuttled past its huge instep with elegant and fast steps.
The forelimbs, as slender as hair, used precision micro-manipulation comparable to surgery to peel off and remove the dark dead roots remaining deep in the flesh and blood one by one; the dead skin was swept away, and the dark golden lines suppressed by the parasitic nest layer finally reappeared in the bottom of this deep cave, bit by bit, with the soft and sacred Wei Guang.
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Retreat to the entrance of the cave and return the long sword to its sheath.
Behind them, towering nest mounds were rising in flames and thick smoke billowing;
And in the vast Breeding Basin in front of them, hundreds of bright red Fire Pillars are blooming on the earth one after another, along the front lines of the major battle groups advancing, just like Stellariss!
"Main Brood Extraction!!"
In Guild Channel, the commander's hysterical roar of ecstasy completely overwhelmed the crisp sound of the egg shell exploding:
"Advance across the board! Leave all the mouse nests in this basin... not a single one alive. I will burn them all to the ground!!"
Eight days later.
Hundred-Meter Nest Mound, which once stretched across the center of the basin like a devil's cave, is now only a hollow, weathered, and charred skeletal remains.
The remaining nests that have been discovered within a radius of dozens of miles have been removed one by one by dragnet-style carpet sweeps. Occasionally, two or three fish that slipped out of the cracks in the ground were stabbed to pulp by patrolling players who rushed forward to grab the first blow before they even had time to see the sky.
The road connecting Western Pass is busy with traffic.
Heavy-duty transport vehicles loaded with Tier Three Lord Armor Material and sorted insect shell aggregates slowly drove to the rear base camp. On the return vehicles, the latest ammunition base, High-Purity Nutrient Slurry, and Sterile Cultured Tissue, which were urgently needed by the front line, were continuously transported.
Outside the temporary field maintenance shed on the front line.
[Vanguard Across the Realm] The shoulders swayed slightly, and the Flight Wings behind her stretched like a blade!
A large section of the exoskeleton wing spar that had been torn off by Myriad-Egg Broodmother's mouthparts has been reattached with a spare frame, and the thick bionic ligaments are tightly engaged at the center of the wing root. When the spiritual energy flows through, the entire wing surface glowing with metallic cold light suddenly tightens like iron!
Boom!
With his feet on the gravel, his body flew up from the ground like an arrow from a string!
The strong wind howled in his ears, and a pushing feeling hit Berserk on his back. He pulled out a tricky extreme angle change in mid-air on the ruins on the top of the nest hill, and glided steadily to land in front of the craftsman's shed.
"That's it, this time I don't have to risk my life to grab the last breakthrough when it's the last shot."
A veteran craftsman from the Dawn Guild stepped forward and punched [Vanguard Across the Realm]'s strong breastplate with his big hand, making a dull sound of gold and iron ringing like a bell.
The pitch-black armor exudes a heart-stopping darkness Wei Guang.
The tightly fitting core shields on the chest are the Tier Three Lord bone armor that was previously stripped off from the junction of Myriad-Egg Broodmother's head and chest! After repeated detoxification, tailoring and Neural Lining by the craftsmen accompanying the army, E connected, coupled with the existing load-bearing frame and nutritional supply, these armor pieces finally replaced the old armor that was twisted into strips of cloth, and became the top-quality armor that can distract Tier Three enemy attacks!
Of course, the long list of astronomical figures on the bill, calculated from maintenance fees, reinforced aggregates and craftsman points, also made the guild president's eye muscles twitch violently.
"Next time any group leader dares to shout 'President, please come up' on the channel, I will deduct three months of his dividends and confiscate them."
Craftsman Hehe Zhile: "When you charge, who in the server can hold you back?"
[Vanguard Across the Realm] smiled and shook his head, gripped the long knife tightly, and strode towards the charred nest mound behind him.
However, before actually stepping into the cave entrance, an unusual and warm sound of gurgling water quietly floated out from the depths of the cave.
[Vanguard Across the Realm] His footsteps suddenly stopped.
The foul-smelling venom that had accumulated several feet deep at the bottom of the cave a few days ago was gone, leaving only a thin, almost transparent film of water.
On the surface of the dark red Primordial Wall Membrane directly below, thousands of fine meridians like spider webs are relaxing and rising steadily and powerfully under the continued support of the blood supply cells that have been connected.
What's even more surprising is--
A small group of black residue covered in rotting liquid just dripped from the cracks in the rock wall. As soon as it touched the surface of the red film, the entire film bounced outward slightly as if it had spiritual power!
Stab!
A very fine stream of dark golden secretion gushes out from the pores on the surface of the red film and collides head-on with the rot!
The originally thick and pungent black smoke swirled in the water vapor for a few times, and then gradually became lighter. The black slag covered in Kinfolk's rotting liquid, under the infiltration of secretion fluid and the autonomous peristalsis of Divine Membrane, gradually condensed into a small group of gray-yellow sticky slag that had lost its obvious corrosiveness. Along the drainage channel repaired by Weaver, it was expelled and squeezed into the waste chute below!
On an abandoned insect shell next to it, a few drops of unpurified Abyss poisonous water were still burning the bones until they were smoking;
However, the waste that was autonomously metabolized and excreted from the dark red Divine Membrane surface no longer ablate the waste tank below, just like a piece of dried yellow mud!
"A miracle... what a miracle!!"
A Dawn Guild scholar player who was lying beside the hole to collect samples, holding a long sampling pole, was shaking with excitement, and his voice was breaking:
"President! Smell it quickly! Three days ago, I had to wear a double gas mask when entering this hole. Now... even the pungent sour smell is almost gone!!"
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Slowly took off the mask on his face and took a deep breath.
The air is still filled with the smell of burning and a touch of blood, but the cold stench that used to burn the throat and make people's scalp numb just by taking half a breath...
It actually disappeared without a trace!
An indescribable tremor shot from the soles of his feet to the sky.
Once upon a time, during those long nights when Abyss's poisonous mist choked their throats, players moved forward step by step with shields on their backs. Anti-Poison Potion drank faster than water, and Mecha's damaged shields had to be replaced frequently. If they were not careful, they would be wiped out and killed.
And now...
This piece of Primordial Tissue, suppressed by the parasitic nest layer and gnawed wantonly by moths, after the cancer was removed and the meridians were connected...
Finally regained the power of independent detoxification and elimination!
It is no longer just a hotbed for people to gnaw on, it begins to be like flesh and blood that has been rejuvenated, independently decomposing and peeling off the dirt on the surface bit by bit, and then pushing it into the waste tank!
Poof!
Deep in the red film, a tiny larva tried to break out of the dead corner. Just as it broke through the surface, a ferocious giant claw covered with stone Heavy Armor boldly thrust out, and with a pop, crushed it to pieces on the broken wall, twisting it into a pulp.
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Looking up along his arm, his eyes narrowed slightly.
That was Tier Three Ancient Guardian who had his entire left forearm broken off in the bloody battle of Brood Mother.
The empty fracture has now been completely sealed by a layer of warm dark gold granulation. Although the left forearm is still missing a section, its majestic body, which is seven meters high, is standing at the entrance of the cave like a javelin, as steady as a mountain.
Look further into the distance.
Warlord, who is more than 20 meters tall, is walking down a gentle slope with long and leisurely strides. The huge blood hole in his right knee that once almost made him lame has already closed and scabbed. The biochemical tube that is as long as a person and was pulled out by another Ancient Guardian three days ago is now being inserted alone next to the road sign as a trophy.
The black thorn on its left shoulder has not been removed, and the broken arm of the guard has not been regenerated.
But those festering old wounds that bleed day and night and almost dragged the giants to death Abyss...
As the support was restored and the wound was properly treated, the mouth finally closed, revealing new flesh and blood!
The two armies stand side by side, and the gods are rejuvenated.
"Brother Feng, what are you doing here?"
A brisk sound of breaking wind interrupted his thoughts.
[Thunder King] Striding onto the stone platform with long strides, the forearm that had originally cracked with numerous bloodstains due to psychic overload in the decisive battle has now recovered as before with the help of treatment and biochemical gel. The fine, rich purple and white thunder light is like a psychic snake, writhing and jumping on the fingertips, and then docilely disappears into the meridians of the palm.
[Vanguard Across the Realm] glanced at him sideways and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. "Let's see if the blood we shed in these eight days is worth it."
"I don't know if it's worth it."
[Thunder King] smiled casually and lightly stroked Void with one hand, showing his Personal Status Panel unreservedly in front of [Vanguard Across the Realm]:
[Current level: LV.79.]
[Regular experience points are full.]
[Current rank: Tier Three.]
[Vanguard Across the Realm]'s pupils suddenly shrank.
From the life and death fight in the Lung Leaf battle, to the shocking victory in the Gallbladder fortress, to the huge profits from killing Tier Three Lord in this Breeding Basin...
This thunder and lightning master who stands at the forefront of players finally... pushed the experience bar to the absolute ceiling of Tier Three!
"Are you ready to break through the ranks?" [Vanguard Across the Realm] asked in a deep voice.
[Thunder King] took a deep breath and slowly raised his right index finger.
Buzz!
A cluster of pure and extremely condensed dazzling white thunder suddenly lit up from the fingertips!
However, this time, the thunder of Berserk did not vent its bombardment outwards, but flowed back like mercury, forcibly turning the skin, bones and flesh of his entire finger into a translucent Pure-Energy Plasma Body in a dimension visible to the naked eye!
The fingertips trembled violently, and the arc collapsed, leaving a faint scorch mark on the fingertips.
[Thunder King] grinned in pain and took a breath of cold air. However, when he raised his head, the depths of his pupils that reflected Thunderstorm were filled with unprecedented wildness and heat:
"Brother Feng... I have touched the threshold of Tier Four."
He clenched the staff in his hand with his backhand, pointed at the end of Abyss, and laughed wildly:
"The wall between Tier Three and Tier Four..."
"--I have already dug cracks into it!!"
