Intruders, Die!

At 1,500 a day, 23 days meant that even if this mine pit were drained dry, it could only provide a little over 34,000 more units of energy. At first glance, that did not seem like a small number, but considering that upgrading a Level 2 Base to a Level 3 Base required a full 100,000 units of Level 1 energy, it was pitifully little...

Ye Luo smiled confidently. "It's fine, Zerg Hive. Just keep mining. A small town with only tens of thousands of residents can contain a small mineral vein. This continent is so vast—why would we worry about a shortage of ore?"

Ten minutes later, four giant humanoid eggs burst open with a bang!

"My Emperor, the Hydralisk Hero, Lurker Hero, Overlord Hero, and Healing Aphid Hero have finished hatching!"

"Greetings, My Emperor!" The four naked men dropped to one knee and lowered their heads with absolute loyalty.

Ye Luo nodded in satisfaction and spread his arms. "From today onward, you shall be called Ye Ci, Ye Wang, Ye Ya, and Ye Di! Welcome to our big family, the four of you!"

"Ye Ci, Ye Wang, Ye Ya, and Ye Di thank My Emperor for bestowing these names!" the four said excitedly.

Meanwhile, Ye Yi, who had been standing behind Ye Luo, walked over to Ye Di and patted him on the shoulder. With a mischievous grin, he said, "Little Brother Ye, hello..."

Ye You and Ye Feng's eyes lit up, and they stepped over one after another. "Mm, Little Brother Ye, hello..." Even Ye Meng, who was usually honest and reckless, grinned foolishly as he went over to take advantage of the joke...

"..." Three black lines instantly slid down Ye Di's forehead.

"Alright, stop fooling around. Ye Ci, Ye Wang, Ye Ya, Ye Di, show us the special abilities of your human forms!" Ye Luo looked helplessly at his brothers before nodding at the four.

"As you command, My Emperor!" The four men's eyes lit up, eager to give it a try.

Ye Di stepped forward first. He crouched low, then slammed both hands against the ground. Two sharp spikes more than three meters long suddenly tore through a tree five hundred meters away! The attack was incredibly fast, and most importantly, it was not magic. There was no sign of magical elements gathering at all, making it impossible to guard against...

Ye Wang merely tapped the ground with his foot and hovered in midair. His gaze swept lightly over the area as he calmly said, "The fallen tree has 109,826 leaves... Of course, there's also a bird's nest on it..."

"Not bad!" Ye Luo praised. Combat strength was important, but abilities that supported combat were equally important. Although Ye Wang had no combat power whatsoever, Ye Luo did not look down on him because of it, leaving Ye Wang immensely grateful.

Ye Ya stepped forward and formed his right hand into a blade. He ruthlessly struck his own left arm with it. With a crisp crack, his entire left arm instantly fractured. Amid everyone's astonished gazes, he extended his right hand, and hundreds upon thousands of tiny white lights flew toward his left arm. On closer inspection, those specks of light were clearly miniature Healing Aphids. The Healing Aphids entered his arm through his pores. In less than five seconds, the fractured arm was completely restored!

"Good!" Healing Aphids were extremely expensive, but their value was also incredibly high. Ordinary Zerg units naturally had no use for them, since the value of an ordinary Zerg's mutation was far below 500. But if they were used to heal heroes or sold to humans, their usefulness would be enormous. For example, if a king were dying after an assassination attempt, placing a Healing Aphid before him would probably make him agree to any condition...

Ye Ci was the last to act. With a wave of his right hand, a huge bow appeared in it. No one saw where he drew an arrow from, but as soon as he nocked the bow, an arrow automatically appeared on the string! Ye Ci released his fingers. With a whoosh, the arrow shot through the air. What was terrifying was that the arrow split into two in midair, then two became four, and four became eight, transforming into eight arrows that pierced another tree five hundred meters away in a straight line!

Clap, clap, clap, clap... Ye Luo applauded the four in great satisfaction. Just as he was about to say something, Ye You immediately walked over. "My Emperor, although everyone has to protect me in every battle, I am actually a deeply hidden expert. I can imitate all of their abilities at one hundred percent of their power..."

Ye Luo looked amusedly at Ye You, who was seeking favor, and was about to interrupt him. Yet Ye You immediately began demonstrating on the spot. His body trembled as he suddenly looked outside. "Three hundred meters away, twenty-five ants are moving house. Five hundred meters away, a white-and-green snake is devouring a field mouse. Eight hundred meters away..."

"What is it, our 007, our hidden king? What did you see?" Seeing Ye You's stunned expression, Ye Luo could not help asking with a laugh.

Ye You suddenly said urgently, "My Emperor, someone is approaching. A woman... curvy... A man is seriously injured..."

Ye Luo's heart jolted. A sharp glint burst from his eyes. As the Zerg Emperor, aside from his initial three special abilities, his ability to use the powers of mutated Zerg leaders counted as his fourth major ability. Using Ye Wang's far-sight, the two people Ye You had mentioned immediately appeared in his vision.

It felt as if he were looking through binoculars. Eight hundred meters away, a girl in a tight combat suit was supporting an old man as they hurried in this direction. As they drew closer, they kept looking back...

Ye Luo expanded his field of vision, but dense trees blocked his sight. Just as he was about to fly into the air to observe, the trees suddenly turned into phantoms. Several hundred meters beyond those phantoms, four red figures were moving at high speed!

No, they were not wearing red clothes. The red Ye Luo saw through the trees was a thermal imaging effect. "What powerful observation ability!" Ye Luo could not help praising. At the same time, he immediately ordered, "Outer Zerglings, stop that man and woman! Declare that this place has an owner. If they dare force their way in, kill them immediately!"

Even though the girl in his vision had a body tempting enough to make Ye Luo swallow, beauty was a blade over one's head. Ye Luo still instinctively restrained his desire and issued an utterly merciless command.

The distance of five hundred meters quickly closed. When the girl saw the human-form warriors transformed from Zerglings, she immediately shouted excitedly, "I am the daughter of Morton's city lord! In the name of the city lord of Morton, I order you to take us somewhere safe to hide, quickly!"

"Lord Morton?" The Zergling man's human voice was stiff and hoarse. "This is the territory of the great Young Master Ye Luo. Intruders, die!"

The girl was greatly alarmed. The token she had extended froze in midair. "Ye Luo... a lord?" She anxiously glanced behind her. Four figures had already entered her sight. She looked desperately at the Zergling man, only to discover that twenty Zergling men had already gathered together, their eyes filled with warning.

"I-I request to see your lord. I-I am the daughter of the city lord of Morton. As long as you are willing to help me, we are willing to offer a great deal of money and treasure in thanks..." In order to survive, the girl had no choice but to bring up her identity once again.

Ye Luo watched everything through the Zergling man's eyes, then suddenly gave the order, "Let them in, but do not let them approach the mine pit. Lead them forward. I will wait for them there!"

The Zergling man abruptly raised his head. "Young Master Ye Luo has agreed to see you. Follow me!"

The girl looked at the Zergling man in confusion. He had not even needed to report it, but she hurriedly followed him anyway.

Not long after they left, the four figures rushed over.
