Chapter 3089: Breaking ThroughEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!!"
Immediately after, swarms of mutant worms surged forward, surrounding the fallen guards and tearing into them ferociously.
"Boom!!"
After more than ten consecutive attacks, the energy shields on the guards shattered rapidly.
At that moment, the guards panicked.
They had still harbored a bit of hope that the mutant worms wouldn’t actively kill. Now, they completely gave up that notion.
The mutant worms revealed their savage nature, pouring into the guard ranks and initiating a brutal massacre!
Their sharp claws were enhanced with a tearing effect. After knocking a guard down, it only took about ten attacks to completely shred even a high-strength energy shield.
"Fall back! Fall back!!"
Realizing they couldn’t win in a head-on fight, the guards immediately retreated into the building.
However, their speed was nothing compared to the fully sprinting Lickers. Almost instantly, the Licker swarm caught up, slammed into the guards, pinned them down, and devoured them rapidly.
The outer perimeter guards of the spawns’ building couldn’t hold out for even half a minute before being overrun by the Lickers.
"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!"
Once near the building, the Lickers broke into the structure through the main entrance and various windows. Others climbed the outer walls at high speed, entering through windows all over the building.
"Warning! Black Fog intrusion detected. Black Fog level: Level 1."
"Warning! Traces of Seed of Ouroboros infection detected..."
"Warning! Warning! Building under attack!"
"Warning! Warning! Building has entered Grade 1 alert mode."
Inside the building, warriors recruited by the spawns received the alarm messages and finally realized something was wrong. They stepped out of their rooms to investigate what was happening outside.
"Mutant worms?"
Several high-tier warriors rode the elevator downstairs. As soon as the doors opened, several mutant worms scurried along the ceiling toward the right passage.
Looking up, the first floor of the building was already a scene of carnage.
A thick, pungent stench of blood filled the air. Severed limbs and corpses were strewn everywhere.
"Chi, chi, chi..."
Huh?
The warriors frowned.
Looking at the bodies of the fallen guards, they noticed a strange wriggling motion. From each corpse, fleshy cocoons began rapidly forming and condensing.
The cocoons pulsed, expanding and contracting, then split open to reveal struggling zombie creatures crawling out.
"This is..."
Infected pan-human creatures?
The alien warriors, who rarely encountered zombies, exchanged glances.
"It’s an Ouroboros infection form. Kill them."
The warriors didn’t hesitate any longer and began using various methods to clear out the mutant worms.
"Flame!"
With a wave of the hand, several fiery spikes pierced toward the zombies.
It wasn’t until this point that the warriors gradually realized how difficult it was to deal with these mutant worm creatures.
The Seed of Ouroboros polymer was extremely powerful.
The Lickers had absurdly high attributes across the board and even possessed a terrifying self-resurrection ability.
Upon death, they broke down into tiny red threadworms.
The threadworms also needed to be completely destroyed.
And even that wasn’t the end.
After the threadworms were killed, the black slime left behind by the corpses also needed to be eliminated.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that all present were mid- to high-tier warriors with excellent perception abilities, they wouldn’t have even figured out how to thoroughly eliminate the mutant worms.
After fighting for a while, the warriors noticed that the worm swarm was massive, with no sign of its numbers decreasing. On the contrary, more and more kept appearing as time passed.
They barely managed to clear a few before more mutant worms came charging in.
"You all head back and protect the employer."
"Alright."
...
...
Not far from the spawns’ building, at a street corner, Fang Heng was hiding among a group of curious bystanders, observing in secret.
Even the security forces of the Seven Realms Martial Capital were easily overwhelmed by the mutant worm creatures.
But against mid- and high-tier warriors, things weren’t so easy.
Naturally. A single high-tier warrior could practically count as a world boss in a small to medium-sized world.
The difference in strength was enormous.
"Boss Fang, look over there, it’s the military. Reinforcements from the military department have arrived."
Fang Heng followed Kapa’s pointing finger.
The security system of the Seven Realms Martial Capital was managed jointly by the seven dominant forces, with the military department and other sectors guarding the city.
Normally, the military forces were stationed in the outer districts.
In this sudden situation on the spawns’ side, once the military confirmed the intelligence, they responded immediately.
Through the spatial transition system, countless spatial prism light spots began to appear in the air.
A large number of small combat drones emerged from the prism light spots.
"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!"
Red light beams fired from the prisms, sweeping across the Licker horde on the ground.
Hmm?
Fang Heng frowned.
[Hint: Your zombie clone (Licker) has been affected by an unknown potion. All attributes reduced. Paralysis state triggered. Undead effect weakened.]
Under the red light beam attacks, the Lickers slowed down considerably, their attributes drastically weakened, and even their self-healing ability was greatly diminished.
Fang Heng looked up at the drones in the sky.
The light beam attacks were mixed with a special potion effective against Ouroboros.
He then looked down at the time.
It had only taken three minutes from when the mutant worms exited the sewers to when the military forces arrived.
The defenses of a Tier 7 martial capital were indeed impressive.
Combined with the mercenary teams and warriors recruited by the spawns and the military’s ground forces rushing in, the number of Lickers outside the building was being gradually reduced.
However, Fang Heng’s Licker swarm had already broken into the spawns’ building and was wreaking havoc inside.
After clearing the Lickers outside, the beam drones flew into the building through various entrances to eliminate the intruding Lickers.
Fang Heng turned to Kapa and asked, "Which floor were those annoying spawns from before?"
"Twenty-seventh."
"Alright."
Fang Heng immediately directed the Licker swarm remotely to rush toward the twenty-seventh floor of the spawns’ building.
At that moment, inside the high-level office area on the twenty-seventh floor, several spawn administrators were hiding in their offices.
At first, things seemed fine. The door was tightly shut and there had been no attacks.
But in the blink of an eye, everything changed.
The Lickers in the hallway charged at their office doors, slamming and battering the reinforced metal.
Even from the ceiling vents above, the sound of claws scraping metal rang out.
Not good!
The metal doors couldn’t withstand the Lickers’ sustained assault.
"Boom!!!"
The door burst open, and several Lickers lunged at the spawn officials inside the room!
The spawns wearing protective suits immediately unleashed mental shockwaves!
