Chapter 116 Attack
Solar system, Io.
Io is another planet in the solar system with volcanic eruptions besides the Earth.
According to statistics, there are more than 400 active volcanoes on Io.
These volcanoes on Io often erupt. The "volcanic ash" they emit will form umbrella-shaped plumes, with a height of up to 450 kilometers.
This is a "hell satellite" with volcanoes everywhere, magma rolling, and a hideous face.
In the past, this was a forbidden area for life, and almost no life could survive in such an environment.
But now, on its surface stands a Zerg mother nest that is more than 700 meters high and all over with a fiery red body.
One by one, vines and vines are inserted into the magma to extract energy from the magma.
In the boiling magma, a group of beetle-like Zerg creatures are soaking in it.
From time to time, Zergs die, or evolve and mutate in this harsh environment.
But what is more eye-catching is a giant beast that devours the magma wantonly, looks like a giant lizard, has fiery red scales, is covered with flames, and is over 500 meters long.
This is the Fiery Giant Beast belonging to the Zerg!
This environment, which is hellish for other creatures, is like a fish in water for the Fiery Giant Beast.
Unlike the Flame Star Beast that grows by swallowing stars, the Fiery Giant Beast likes to swallow magma to grow.
They are born to be the darlings of fire, and are best at controlling fire.
As an ordinary starry sky beast that can only reach the cosmic level when it is an adult, it does not have the innate inner world of the Golden Horned Beast, and its talent is only a "Furnace Heart".
But in Qin Mu's view, this is a very excellent Zerg unit.
The role of the Furnace Heart is very simple, that is, swallowing flames and magma can make the Red Flame Beast grow quickly, without krypton gold like the Golden Horned Beast.
At the same time, the Furnace Heart also gives the Fiery Giant Beast a terrible ability to control fire.
By studying the talent of the Fiery Giant Beast, Qin Mu reached the third level of the Fire Domain in just three months!
More importantly, they are "very cheap" compared to the golden-horned beasts.
It takes 100 million standard units of energy to hatch a first-order star-level golden-horned beast, while it only takes 1 million standard units to hatch a blazing beast!
How strong are blazing beasts of the same level?
Qin Mu once let the blazing beast fight against the star-level Thor.
The result was that Thor, who had already comprehended the field of thunder and lightning, was completely defeated!
This is the terrible talent of the star beasts.
Now, there are ten such terrifying star beasts on Io!
Their appearance has greatly made up for the lack of high-end combat power in the Zerg, making the Zerg not only have quantity, but also quality!
Not only Io, but also Jupiter, Venus, and Mars, there are Zerg everywhere.
No matter how harsh the environment is, it cannot stop their actions, and even more species have evolved in extremely harsh environments.
Outside the solar system, with the earth as the center, within a thousand light years, Zerg swarms have appeared in a few places.
They will gradually spread and collect resources and energy for the Zerg.
Earth.
Near a towering pyramid-shaped mother nest near Shenlongjia, a super-large insect egg nearly 600 meters high is hatching. This is the second golden-horned giant beast that is about to appear in the insect swarm.
Not far from the insect egg, a towering tree with a diameter of 12 meters and a height of 289 meters is swaying in the wind.
Within ten miles around this tree, it is obvious that more abundant cosmic energy can be felt. The environment within this range is more comfortable than other places, and the Zerg units are stronger.
Even in the huge root system underground, there are pieces of cosmic energy condensed into crystals!
This is a special treasure that Qin Mu exchanged from the Qibao Pavilion, the seeds of the Earth Spirit Jubao Tree.
This kind of treasure costs 10 million Black Dragon Coins for just the seeds, and the seedlings cost 1 billion Black Dragon Coins.
After being stimulated by the energy of the insect swarm, it has grown a little from the seedling state and started to play a role.
Around the tree, birds with a wingspan of 100 meters, like crows, are circling in the sky.
This is a strange beast called Sky Fire Crow, which Qin Mu selected from the flesh and blood of powerful creatures he bought.
After being analyzed by the insect swarm, it is hatched into a unit for combat.
They are a kind of strange life living in the starry sky. The strength of adults can reach the star level. They are extremely fast, good at operating fire, and are social creatures. They are extremely vengeful. They are one of the creatures that cosmic adventurers hate to encounter the most.
The strength of these Sky Fire Crows is at the sixth level of the star level. When the insect swarm is not convenient to take action in the outside world, they can play a good substitute role.
In the mother nest, Qin Mu stretched and stopped his research.
"Hu——"
"Take a break."
With the cosmic human bloodline samples brought from the universe and a deeper study of the "Original Insect Codex", Qin Mu has improved the effect of the bloodline evolution agent to the ninth level of the apprentice level, reaching the limit of the seventh-level bloodline.
However, it is a big challenge to break through to the sixth-level bloodline.
This is a process of qualitative change.
By studying the samples of the sixth-level bloodline of the universe, Qin Mu also has some confidence and believes that it will not take too long to break through this difficulty.
Although Qin Mu has not left the Earth in the past three months, Li Xingtao on Qiulong Star has been collecting samples for Qin Mu for research.
Every month, a batch of samples will be sent over, and at the same time, goods produced on earth will be taken away for trade in the universe.
With sufficient research samples, Qin Mu's research on the bloodline evolution agent could be so smooth.
Qin Mu spread his hands and lay on a recliner made of flesh and blood.
Through the auxiliary optical brain, Qin Mu's consciousness entered the virtual universe.
"Let's go and fight in the killing field for a while."
Qin Mu looked relaxed.
For him, the best way to relax is to have a hearty fight.
In the violent battle, the fatigue caused by studying secret techniques, fields, and blood evolution agents will quickly dissipate.
These days, not only is the insect swarm growing, but his strength is also increasing at an alarming rate.
In the killing hall, along a passage, the space changed, and Qin Mu's figure appeared in the starry sky.
"Set the opponent's strength to be an eighth-level spiritual master of the stellar level, mastering the third level of the fire domain, and the third level of the gold domain. The weapon he uses is a crescent moon disk, a second-level battle suit, extremely rich in combat experience, and the combat scene is a desert."
Qin Mu skillfully set up the virtual space.
These data are actually the results of his cultivation during this period.
There are feedback from the insect swarm, as well as research on the two starry sky behemoths, the Golden Horned Behemoth and the Blazing Behemoth, and understanding the realm through their bodies.
Qin Mu's strength naturally reached the eighth level of the star level.
Achievements in fields have increased at an astonishing rate, especially in the field of gold, which has actually caught up with the field of fire.
In Killing Space, the environment suddenly changes, and the starry sky transforms into an endless desert.
Opposite Qin Mu, a figure 70% similar to him gathered in the void.
The crescent moon disc under his feet rotated, and waning moon blades flew out one after another, spinning around Qin Mu.
On the opposite side, the figure also made the same action.
"Whoosh——"
The two shot out at the same time, and in just a short moment, the waning moon blades in the sky collided thousands of times.
"Ding--"
"Ding--"
Sparks flew.
In the fierce collision, Qin Mu gradually fell into a disadvantageous position from being evenly matched at the beginning.
In terms of combat experience, he is indeed not as good as the figure opposite.
"Fire Realm!"
Qin Mu's heart moved, and black flames burned with him as the center, and the air was distorted.
The figure opposite did not expand the field like Qin Mu. Instead, his whole body lit up with golden light, and he rushed straight into Qin Mu's flame field, intending to kill Qin Mu directly.
"Well done!"
A golden light flashed in Qin Mu's eyes, and the surrounding waning moon blades quickly came together and turned into a golden roulette wheel that rotated at high speed.
"Shocking Rainbow Moon Slash, go!"
A nearly kilometer-long moon wheel slashed towards the figure with terrifying murderous intent.
"boom--"
Almost at the same time, a slash of the same size was issued from in front of the figure, making a loud explosion sound in mid-air.
"Um?"
In the terrifying explosion, a figure rushed out and killed Qin Mu.
Just when Qin Mu was about to resist, his movements stopped.
"problem occurs!"
Qin Mu's eyes condensed, and the scene in the killing space disappeared and turned into a starry sky again.
Just now, something happened to China's transport fleet.
Through the Zerg-turned stellar slaves, Qin Mu sensed everything that happened there.
While transporting goods near Hanyuexing, they were attacked!
Attack of the Star Thieves!
This is the first time this has happened.
Ever since Qin Mu and others came back from the universe last time, the earth, which was already in a state of rapid development, was like a rocket.
There is a group of planet-level ninth-level spiritual masters who are good at manufacturing, and their development speed is more than a hundred times higher than before.
There are factories everywhere on the earth producing crazily, and even the Mars base has expanded several times.
Relying on the excellent technology in the immortal inheritance of the Fallen Ink Star, the goods produced on the earth sell very well in the virtual universe. The reason that limits the speed of making money on the earth now is actually the lack of production capacity!
Even though the Chinese government is frantically increasing production capacity, there is still insufficient production capacity.
In addition to population, there is also the impact of per capita quality. Compared with humans on some advanced planets in the universe, the average quality of humans on earth is too poor, and some high-end industries are too short of people.
This kind of talent cultivation is not like that of warriors, it just requires a lot of resources.
What it requires is learning and time to settle!
But in this blazing scene, there is also a hidden danger.
On the Qiu Long Planet, Li Xingtao and others were suppressed inexplicably.
As they competed fiercely for some orders, their business talks also suffered setbacks.
Some of the stellar slaves who were turned into Zerg by Qin Mu did not know anything about the situation in the outside world.
As he competed with some arms dealers for orders, Li Xingtao was under increasing pressure day by day.
But Li Xingtao didn't tell Qin Mu, he just carried it himself.
Li Xingtao and others have been staying in Qiulong City, and their safety is still guaranteed.
But their cargo spacecraft cannot always stay in the port, which gives some people a chance!
"It seems it's time to take action!"
Qin Mu's eyes were cold. He had expected this scene and was always prepared.
There is never peace in the universe, as Qin Mu had expected when he authorized Li Xingtao to snatch orders.
Li Xingtao did not disappoint him and successfully won the order.
Thus, this scene appeared.
