Chapter 72 The Baton

was discovered.

In fact, it is normal to be discovered.

The various vegetations in the elves' training grounds are usually carefully designed for thousands of years, especially for legal professions. Which type of reconnaissance spells are not available at home?

Even if they can't detect something amiss from a distance of more than ten kilometers like the reconnaissance units of the three major civilizations in the Tepuru Star Region, they have already stepped into the opponent's training ground, and it doesn't make sense if they can't find it yet.

Morenello stopped pretending, and there was a gentle ripple on his body.

His skin, which was originally the same as that of an ordinary cave elf, first had melanin gathered to form patches of color, and then peeled off in its entirety, kneading into a ball together with Morenello's chitin armor, waist bag and long bow.

It turned into a pool of mud-like creatures, connected to Morenello's back and spine.

Mimicry hatchlings, the infiltration unit of the insect swarm, are derived from the glands of Euglena added with human gene fragments to decompose into carpets. In essence, they are a carpet tissue with extremely powerful deformation and mimicry abilities. That is

By allowing it to coexist with Morinello, its normal elf image is maintained.

At this time, Morenello has completely lost his appearance after a long period of transformation.

Like most alienated units, his body is covered with a layer of bast and carapace, with a pair of sickle-shaped appendages on his back.

But unlike normal alienated units, there is no excessive proliferation or asymmetrical deformation on his body. The carapace and bone spurs at specific locations seem to be combined into a beautiful armor. In addition to not being too vulnerable when possessed by the mimic hatchlings,

He was overly bloated, and his bones and muscles had been reduced to a certain extent, making him extremely thin. He even had a strange sense of beauty all over his body.

His appearance is not a deliberate concoction made by the master who has no place for artistic bacteria, but it seems that the species of elves is naturally insulated from "ugliness". The same is true for handsome football, and so is he.

The nerve cords at the back of the alienated elf's head glowed faintly red.

"Join...the insect swarm..." As he murmured, a spiritual power began to be broadcast to the outside world.

The high priest seemed to see a huge beast made of carapace and sharp teeth, a group of terrible natural disasters that devoured everything, and... an incredible vitality.

This is a letter of persuasion to surrender. It states in advance that they have peaceful intentions and just want to draw everyone into the large family of insects. They are not here for destruction.

By the way, they also offered a salute for peace - and saw that the originally flat yellow capsule in the abdomen of the alienated elf expanded rapidly, filled with targeted viruses carefully prepared by the master.

But the mushrooms around him expanded faster. Before the alienated spirit exploded from the middle, it was sealed inside.

The high priest can easily suppress the alienated elves in her own place of practice, but it does not mean that she can erase other alienated elves that have entered various parts of the tribe.

Following eleven muffled explosions, yellow mist began to erupt throughout the tribe.

Because of the distance, the high priest could not see the explosion, but she could feel that a dangerous plague was spreading rapidly among the mushrooms in the tribe.

Yes, mushrooms.

Almost all elves are seventh-level units, and they all possess the power of nature and have certain medical abilities. Not only does the effect of infecting them take a long time, but the insect tissue produced by the infection may also increase their combat power.

On the contrary, mushrooms, which are the main casting materials of elves, have no decent resistance.

We haven't waited for the high priest to respond.

Boom——Boom——Boom——

The exits of every cave in the dome above the tribe suddenly exploded. Huge tentacles transformed from the fungus carpet violently expanded the caves and began to erode the ribbon-shaped fungus in the dome. Countless springtails and poisonous banelings were mixed with countless arrows.

Gulls screamed and poured down from the cave.

The cave elves do have certain anti-air abilities.

As soon as the insect swarm appeared, hundreds of arrows were fired from the tribe. In the high priest's botanical garden, there were even several mushroom cannons capable of firing venom balls.

But the amount of insects poured out was too terrifying. In a hurry, even the high priest could not clear out the terrifying number of insects immediately.

The poisonous banelings exploded, clearing out craters one after another in the cave elves' mushroom forest.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the Tree of Life located in the center of the tribe.

The terrifying acid was poured on the Tree of Life, and wisps of green smoke immediately appeared, but it had no effect on the Zerg units attached to it.

In an instant, all elves who practice the way of nature can feel the wail of their mother tree.

And just as the poisonous banelings were falling like raindrops, at the largest hole in the dome, several eyeworms quietly floated out, expelling a surging mass of brown-black slurry from underneath their bodies.

Mixed in among the falling Zerg units, it landed on the mother tree.

Phew~ The twisted black flesh grows rapidly and solidifies.

In previous battles, the Overlord was accustomed to relying on the rapid expansion characteristics of venomophage spore plasma to divide the battlefield and restrain the enemy.

But that is just an act equivalent to fighting with a rolling pin. The venomophage itself is only designed to assist infection, not a combat unit.

This expanded substance formed in the body cavity of Euglena is the "spore plasma" specially used for fighting in the insect swarm.

Moreover, like the carpet tumors produced by the queen, this expanded material that has a large portion of the same genes as the mimic hatchlings is filled with a large amount of psionic energy from the Euglena - it is equivalent to the elite unit of the phage spore plasma.

.

Its proliferation rate can even compete with the peak self-healing ability of Flesh Abyss.

Just the expanding matter released by a few Euglena buried the entire Tree of Life within a few breaths.

The main body of the expansion material is still the creep. Even if it has been differentiated into the expanded specialized type, it still has some properties of the creep.

Those Zerg units that had landed on the Tree of Life, instead of being squeezed away by the expansion of the expanding material, were actively wrapped and protected.

They are like children secretly eating candy under the covers, covering themselves with thick fungi and biting the Tree of Life crazily.

The Tree of Life is not an abyss of flesh and blood, its strength is worthy of a soul with eleven levels of strength.

If the master at this time had not completed the iterative research on "Muscle Strength I" and "Carapace Strength I", it would be really difficult for ordinary units to cause damage to it.

And even so, there are only a few elite units that can cut off a branch of life in a short time.

Boom——

An ethereal voice suddenly sounded, and even in the chaotic battlefield, it still echoed in the ears of all living creatures.

It was the sound of the angry high priest striking the ground with his staff.

Then, a dazzling green light emanated from her and the Tree of Life.

The expanded fungi attached to the Tree of Life loosened and began to fall off the Tree of Life - they were "pacified".

The master who has been paying attention to the battlefield couldn't help but sigh: Facing the elves, the most convenient creep tactic is obviously ineffective.

However, only feral zerg and zerg units so simple that they have no brains will be affected by "pacify".

Even the Arrow Gulls were not affected. After the expanded fungus relaxed and fell, they immediately flew down, received the sawdust and leaves they tore off from the springtails and cockroaches, and then turned back and flew away.

The branches of the Tree of Life have special meaning to the elves. After all, the Tree of Life cannot bear seeds, and the only way to reproduce is through cutting branches.

The elves will not tolerate the loss of body parts from the Tree of Life.

The moment the Arrowgull takes off after "taking over" the baton.

Another green light expanded from the Tree of Life.

The Zerg units that were swept past all trembled and stiffened, and the Arrow Gulls in the air fell to the ground with a huff.

"Group paralysis", the natural power infused with the high priest's will directly targets the muscles and nerves of the insect swarm units. It is no longer a spell targeting the mind, and the protection of the insect hive will naturally has no effect.

Only a very small number of elite springtails and cockroaches can forcibly control their own bodies because of the psionic energy contained in their bodies.

The only one who was safe and sound was the dragon dog.

In addition to the protection of the dragon's skin, it is also because the dragon dog is deeply bound to an eyeworm.

After the research in the field of neural-psionic energy after the Battle of the Flesh Abyss, Shuaiqiu can carry all the psionic energy currently dominated by the master. Even in normal state, it has the level of eighth-level psionic energy. The dragon dog psionic energy supported by it is other elite units.

several times.

boom--

Several spore clusters bombarded the high priest's position.

But the mushrooms growing wildly around it blocked the bombardment of the spore crawlers.

However, the bombardments continued one after another, and the high priest could only devote most of his energy to building defenses.

The dragon dog took the opportunity to hold a branch of life as thick as an arm in its mouth, vibrate its wings and fly into the air.

"Cha-" "His--" All the elite units present screamed.

Under the active intervention of the Overlord, a large amount of psionic energy was poured into the surrounding Zerg units using them as nodes, allowing them to restore a certain degree of mobility.

At the same time, all the arrow gulls suddenly ignited the symbiotic mold in their bodies.

The stiffness of their bodies prevents them from flapping their wings, but the airflow from behind their bodies makes them fly in the air like flying monkeys, creating conditions for dragon dogs to escape.

But just as the dragon dog had already flown into the air, he saw a green light accompanied by arrows in the far distance of the elven tribe, breaking through layers of obstacles and shooting toward it.

A saint-level archer has taken action!

It's the same technique as when Eral shot the handsome ball's appendage, a technique of infusing the arrow with will to break the constraints of the rules of reality.

The handsome ball back then couldn't dodge the arrow, and the same goes for the dragon dog at this time - it's not a flying unit, and if it doesn't rely on leaping, its flying speed is not as fast as the king insect.

And just when the wildly spinning arrow was about to hit the dragon dog.

A slender, thick piece of flesh suddenly shot up to the top of the dragon dog. The pincers at the top opened and clamped the dragon dog's waist. At the critical moment, the dragon dog was pulled up.

Spiny crawler.

A close relative of the spore crawler, it is the defensive structure of the insect swarm. It attacks by rapidly extending its snake-like body. When ejected at high speed, the spikes on the top of its body can easily penetrate thick armor.

The Lord transformed it and replaced the spikes on its top with precise pincers. They were used to respond to the "warriors" who obtained the branches of the Tree of Life.

When the dragon dog was thrown into the cave by the spine crawler.

The goal of dominating this raid has also been mostly completed—obtaining samples of the Tree of Life...
