Chapter 222
"What... did you just say?!" His eyes widened, and he stopped chewing.
"They're insect eggs," Nimue replied earnestly. "The kind of Black Worm that hide in the ground. They've dug up a lot recently, saying they'll use them as feed for Finger Worm."
"I picked out the insect eggs and put them into the minced meat. Doesn't it taste great?"
Shen Xing was stunned. He picked up the meat pie in disbelief and examined it carefully for a moment.
At this moment, inside the bitten meat filling, you can see tiny black eggs the size of rice grains, and some that have already broken open, with flea-sized Black Worm crawling around inside.
He could even feel countless living creatures crawling in his mouth, wriggling on his tongue and burrowing into the gaps between his teeth, as if they wanted to settle down.
A strong feeling of nausea, vomiting, and physical discomfort surged from my stomach and then exploded instantly.
"Vomit!!!"
Chapter 156: Hellscream evolves again, the Doomsday Judicator!
A dozen minutes later, Shen Xing, looking completely exhausted, pushed his wheelchair out of the food processing plant.
His face was extremely pale, his shoulders slumped, and he looked utterly hopeless.
"I swear, if I ever eat Nimue's unknown dishes again, I'm a dog!"
He really suffered today; he vomited for over ten minutes and almost threw up everything he ate yesterday.
He even rinsed his mouth with lava several times, scalding his lips until they were swollen, before the nausea and vomiting subsided.
"But then again, this girl meant well; she thought of me first when she developed something good."
"Next time we have a new dish, let's call Gorehowl or Da Hou over to try it."
"Anyway, they're physically strong and resilient."
Shen Xing made up his mind, then pushed his wheelchair toward the city gate, ready to see how Hellscream's upgrade was going.
Just then, a rough voice came from ahead.
"Oh! My lord, you look terrible, as if you've had some dwarf mushroom soup."
One-Eyed Logan strode over, asking curiously, "What happened?"
"Don't mention it." Shen Xing waved her hand, indicating she didn't want to talk about it anymore.
"My lord, please don't be sad."
Logan comforted him, "When you're feeling down, think of those dwarves. Even though you're in a wheelchair, you're still someone they have to look up to."
Shen Xing was speechless again, raising her voice. "What the hell are you here for!?"
"Oh! Don't be angry, my beloved lord."
Logan quickly waved his hand and said, "I've come to tell you some good news: the Hell War Chariot is finished."
"Oh?"
Shen Xing also became interested, putting the memory of the terrible food he had just eaten out of his mind. "You, next time we meet, just get straight to the point, don't beat around the bush."
"Take me to see it."
"Yes!"
Logan responded and then turned to walk towards the northern part of the territory.
At this moment, a number of people had already gathered in the open space behind the blacksmith's shop.
A group of orcs and Black Moon Knight stood around, as if admiring some Dabao, occasionally letting out exclamations of amazement.
Upon seeing the lord approach, the crowd automatically parted to make way for Shen Xing to pass through without hindrance.
His eyes lit up instantly when he walked through the crowd and saw the large object displayed on the open ground.
At this moment, three enormous, dark red chariots with menacing designs were placed there.
They look like several lurking steel behemoths, with an overall length of over ten meters and a height of over four meters. The eight heavy wheels alone are half a person tall.
It is equipped with a huge demon head at the front, with its mouth wide open, from which it can spew Infernal, causing burning damage to enemies in front of it.
There is also a nozzle at the rear that can spew out powerful flames, propelling the vehicle forward at high speed and also achieving a brief levitation effect.
"So cool!"
Shen Xing praised the vehicles, finding their appearance to be exactly what he imagined hellish technology to be.
Rugged, heavy, and sinister, it is full of the artistic sense of violent aesthetics.
"Logan, not bad," he complimented the Cyclops beside him.
"Ah, thank you for the compliment, Lord!" Logan chuckled and scratched his head, then said with emotion, "This is the most advanced creation I've ever made in my life. It possesses unparalleled mobility and destructive power."
"It's a pity... it has limited effect on dwarves."
A nearby orc instinctively asked, "Logan Giant, why?"
"Because the chassis of this tank is too high."
Everyone: "..."
A moment of silence followed.
Shen Xing sighed helplessly and asked, "Logan, can these big machines be started now?"
"Of course!" Logan nodded without hesitation. "However, this kind of vehicle has extremely powerful engines and is also quite dangerous, requiring a professional driver."
"Believe me, you don't want to see our house destroyed, do you?"
"A driver?" Shen Xing pondered for a moment, then glanced at the eager soldiers around him. "Perfect, who among you would like to try out this vehicle?"
Upon hearing this, the orcs and Black Moon Knight exchanged glances, and several of them raised their hands.
"I! I want to try!"
"Me too! I want to drive one of these too!"
"Riding horses is for sissies; true knights drive chariots!"
"..."
Shen Xing glanced around and found that there were quite a few people who had signed up. In addition to a dozen or so orcs, two Black Moon Knights were also very interested in this kind of chariot.
After a moment's thought, he decided, "You all go and give it a try. Whoever has the best driving skills can stay and be trained as a professional driver."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers were overjoyed and shouted, "Long live our leader!"
Then, they opened the skeletal door at the front of the Hell War Chariot and crawled directly into the driver's cab.
Soon after, the roar of an engine filled the air, causing the surrounding ground to tremble slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a ghostly green flame suddenly shot out from the rear of the vehicle, unleashing an astonishing heat wave.
The next second, the three steel behemoths, like wild beasts unleashed, charged toward the open area of the outer city.
The other orcs who hadn't managed to get the driver's seat followed behind, howling with excitement.
Shen Xing originally intended to send a senior officer to supervise the situation and be ready to respond to any emergencies.
At this moment, he sensed a powerful aura rising from the south gate area of the territory, which was originally the direction of the village entrance.
"Oh? This aura... Hellscream has leveled up?"
With a sense of anticipation, he quickly pushed his wheelchair over.
Before they even arrived, they saw a tall figure slowly rise from the boulder, surrounded by a dark red aura.
"Call..."
A gentle breeze swept by, and the figure vanished from the spot.
When it reappeared, it was already beside Shen Xing.
"My lord, I have successfully reached level 16." Hellscream bowed respectfully.
"Not bad, you're quite fast."
Shen Xing was satisfied, then took out three crystal-clear water droplets from his backpack. "Here, absorb these, and I'll help you continue evolving."
Hellscream gazed at the dewdrop in his hand, his beastly eyes flashing. "Yes, Lord."
After saying that, he solemnly took the dewdrop, poured it into his mouth, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.
A few seconds later, powerful energy fluctuations rose from the orc's body.
"Buzz... buzz..."
Flashes of white light appeared one after another, and the aura rose steadily.
[Your territory hero: Hellscream has reached level 17!]
[Attribute boosts from this upgrade: Strength +62, Spirit +38, Agility +71, Constitution +54]
[Your territory hero: Hellscream has reached level 18!]
[Your...]
After three consecutive upgrade notifications, Hellscream has officially reached level 19, the maximum level, and has reached the peak of the third level of the beginner realm.
At this moment, his bat wings were folded, and waves of heat rose from his body as he stood quietly to the side, waiting.
Shen Xing didn't keep him waiting and immediately opened the talent panel to evolve it again.
[Use 'Life-Sacrifice Evolution' to upgrade Territory Hero: Hellscream's potential to Boss ★?]
[This evolution requires sacrificing 500 Agility]
"Yes."
As he clicked "OK," a massive red beam of light descended from the sky, completely enveloping him.
Within the light, a tall figure with outstretched bat wings and engulfed in Hellfire appeared, as if a demon god were undergoing baptism.
This evolutionary process lasted for a full two and a half minutes, during which the figure's aura underwent an astonishing Metamorphosis.
As the red light faded, a message flashed before Shen Xing's eyes.
[Ding! Your territory hero: Hellscream's potential has been upgraded to Boss ★!]
[Class: Hell Vanguard → Doomsday Judicator]
[This breakthrough: All attributes +45%, Agility +500!]

"Oh? You've advanced from Hell Vanguard to Doomsday Judicator?"
