Behemoth and its Beast Horde on the ground are already in danger, while Frost Serpent underground is on the verge of its end.

Its blue scales were in tatters, and there were a lot of wounds, and there was something flowing out of some of the wounds. It was not blood, but high-concentration acid.

Several holes were also made in the surrounding glaciers, and a new batch of Venomspider crawled in. This time there were more than a hundred of them. It seemed that Swarm also felt that Frost Serpent was about to die, so they increased their attack intensity.

Blue blood flowed down the scales on the snake's head and streaked across its eyes.

Frost Serpent doesn't have much strength anymore. Its sharp eyes once silenced Monsters, but now the life in its pupils is much less, leaving only endless fatigue.

Seeing the once majestic Legendary Beast come to an end, Chloe also felt a little sad. Frost Serpent is really strong, very strong, far exceeding Hive Mind's evaluation of it.

Before starting to hunt it, it consumed a lot of Psionics to freeze Creep, then ejected extremely powerful white light to destroy the kilometer-long Web Maze, and was hit head-on by Psionics Shock, which contained 7,000 Swarm Psionic Power.

Even after experiencing so many weakenings, it still persisted in fighting and destroyed Swarm with a scale of up to two thousand.

You must know that this is the cumulative number of Swarm killed when Hive Swarm Consciousness constantly analyzes its movements and uses small groups of Venomspider to continuously consume it.

But now it can no longer work. Flesh and blood always has its limits.

These more than a hundred Venomspider were the last straw that crushed it. The spider silk had already entangled the snake's body tightly, and the tail needles of many Venomspider had been deeply buried in the flesh and blood of Frost Serpent.

Frost Serpent was so weak that it could no longer feel pain or struggle. Its snake head was lying on the ground listlessly, and a Venomspider slipped in front of its eyes with spider silk.

Venomspider's jointed limbs made a crisp sound on the ice, like a song of death. The Steel Needle at its tail glowed with cold light, and soon the Steel Needle inserted into Frost Serpent's head, ending its pain.

When Venomspider found its position and prepared to launch the final blow, its movement stopped.

Not only this Venomspider, but all Swarm's movements on the battlefield were delayed by one second. Beast Horde, who had been suppressed on the ground and was waiting for death, and Behemoth, who was fighting a giant Creep Tumor, were also puzzled by this strange phenomenon.

A very powerful consciousness swept across the entire battlefield, and Swarm Network cheered.

Overmind Consciousness is back.

Not only Swarm, Psionics, but the stronger Monsters, the more sensitive they are to Psionic Power. A large number of Monsters can feel a Psionic Power so powerful that it suffocates them sweeping over them.

The feeling of the huge Behemoth is even more obvious. It finally understands the source of its fear. It turns out that they are too stupid to even try to challenge such an existence.

Thinking of this, Behemoth stopped resisting and sat down. His body returned to its original size and his claws were placed flat by his side.

Seeing Mythical Beast, they all stopped resisting, Beast Horde also gave up, and the battlefield entered a rare calm.

Yes Zhang Han woke up. Although the body is still in the cocoon, at least the consciousness is no longer in a sleeping state.

As soon as I woke up, Zhang Han wanted to complain about why I was woken up every time I went to sleep, and who was attacking Swarm!

With great energy to wake up, Zhang Han put his consciousness into Swarm Network, and used Psionic Power to scan the entire battlefield.

After the scan, many questions arose. Why did Monsters, which was clearly attacking Hatchery, give up resistance? Why did they attack Hatchery?

There are two extremely powerful beings in Monsters, one is a white gorilla and the other is a giant python.

The gorilla sat on the ground and seemed to have given up resistance. On the python's head lay a Zerg Unit that he had never seen before. The bright tail needle could kill it at any time.

Moreover, Hatchery has expanded so much when I wake up, and the energy is even more stored. It feels like before going to bed, the family has just got out of poverty, and after waking up, it feels like it is well off.

The world is changing so fast, giving Zhang Han a feeling of a completely different world, just like when he first traveled through time.

"Great Overmind, you're awake." The first person to send the message was not Hive Swarm Consciousness, but Chloe.

Her tone was full of surprise and excitement. Zhang Han was a little confused. He couldn't figure out why this good-looking Princess had such a high impression of him.

"Well, I'm awake. Although it has not been fully hatched, my consciousness no longer needs to sleep for a long time." Putting on a serious look, Zhang Han conveyed the message in a majestic voice.

"It's really great. A lot of things happened while you were away. I... Swarm and I all feel that something is missing in our hearts. We are being attacked by Beast Tide from Death Forest, but everything is almost over. Swarm gave Overmind another brilliant victory."

Maybe it's because I was so excited after I found out Overmind woke up. Chloe's language was a bit unrestrained, which made Zhang Han feel a little embarrassed.

"First package your memories and send them over. I will talk about other things after I read them." In order not to continue to listen to Chloe's embarrassing boasts, Zhang Han decisively ended the conversation.

"Okay, okay. I'll package it up and send it over." Chloe's voice sounded like a child who was afraid of making an adult angry.

When Zhang Han found out that he had become Overmind, he had many skills in the spiritual field, such as Parallel Thought and Thought Acceleration. He separated part of his mind to watch the memory of Chloe; the other part pulled Hive Mind over, opened a hidden thinking space, and opened Thought Acceleration.

Hive Mind's voice was very calm as always. "Overmind, do you need me?"

This voice surprised Zhang Han. He remembered that it was the voice of Hive Mind who had sacrificed his life to protect him. So he decisively asked, "Are you still alive? I thought you died for me."

"Overmind What you said makes me very confused. Ever since my consciousness condensed, I have never left Tabi Star. How could I protect you and sacrifice myself?"

After a slight pause, Hive Mind continued, "If you are referring to the previous Hive Mind, then you have misunderstood. I am completely different from it."

"But I can't remember her voice wrong. Are your voices the same?"

"In order to make Overmind feel happy, I will choose an information delivery carrier that makes Overmind sound more comfortable." Hive Mind is like a machine saying things that are natural.

After figuring out the truth, Zhang Han fell silent.

Originally, the previous Hive Mind sacrificed herself for him, which moved him very much. He thought that Hive Mind was resurrected, but he did not expect this to be the result. It seems that she cannot come back.

"Damn it, this cold universe." Zhang Han cursed.

"Yes, the universe is very cold, cold and cruel." Hive Mind agreed.
