End of the World: My Items Can Be Upgraded Infinitely.

Chapter 157 Node Creature, the Tiger-Spine Worm that is about to evolve!
As the figure slowly emerged from the darkness...

Under the dim light of the hatching meat tower, everyone was finally able to see each other clearly.

That's a...

To be more precise, half a woman.

A human female who is over five meters tall.

The top of its body is still human-sized, but its original lower legs are hidden in the insect armor and connected to a long fleshy tube as thick as a bucket.

The long tube tentacles were strong and powerful, shaped like a snake, lifting the woman with only the upper body up to four or five meters in the air, looking down at Lin Feng and the others...

At the same time, a sharp female laugh was heard.

It makes people feel uncomfortable.

Long's face suddenly changed. She didn't expect that the Queen Mother of Haicheng would have such a backup plan.

He even chose to wait next to a large second-order insect egg hatching nest.

She immediately released her remaining mental energy to help Lin Feng resist the interference.

Long Yi knew very well that whether he could solve the monster in front of him at this moment could only rely on the legion team led by Lin Feng. All he could do was to provide intelligence in a timely manner and provide cover and assistance!

After removing the mental interference from Lin Feng, Long Yi immediately spoke:

"This is a variant of the parasitic mother, a fixed spiritual node creature. Although it cannot leave this hatching nest, it can also control the entire insect swarm in this area. Be careful of its spirit..."

Before she could finish her words, the corner of the strange woman's smiling mouth cracked, revealing a row of fangs inside, followed by several sharp sounds.

The fluctuations of spiritual energy spread out again, and more large insects emerged from the dark depths behind the strange parasitic mother body.

Lin Feng frowned. In fact, the disturbance he suffered was not serious. It was just a moment of trance.

At this moment, the other party's detailed information has been identified and loaded:

"Parasitic Matrix - Variant Node Organism"

"HP 5k, Vt 200, SP 1001"

"Super Power Awakening: Mental Empowerment (releases mental energy to interfere with or protect lives within a hundred meters, causing them to temporarily lose consciousness or become immune to energy attacks. Interference is ineffective against enemies with higher mental attribute values ​​than the enemy itself)"

"Note: This is the product of the fusion of the parasitic mother and the awakened human. It has the abilities of both the parasitic mother and the awakened human."

"Note: This organism has been fixed to a large biological nest and can absorb the powerful life energy of the biological nest and form a symbiotic relationship with it. It is not an independent individual and its level cannot be measured by attributes."

"Evaluation: Zerg node-type creature, between an individual and a biological nest, responsible for assisting the high-level queen and managing the swarm. It has a certain degree of self-awareness and will only be established after the Zerg territory expands."

Before Lin Feng saw the end, he raised his head and fired a shot at the opponent.

The armor-piercing cannon directly hit the lower abdomen of the node organism, penetrated the thin layer of insect armor, and exploded.

Lin Feng then raised the tiger-tooth chainsaw sword in his right hand and blocked it in front of him to avoid being affected by the impact of flesh and blood.

Its broad body can also cover the insects behind it.

The level 29 armor-piercing cannon is extremely powerful. Although its attack range is not as strong as that of the electromagnetic cannon, when killing a single life form, the terrifying damage of up to 900 points is not something that a guy with a physical fitness of only 200 points can withstand.

As the explosion flashed, a fireball with a diameter of 20 meters ignited not far from the two of them, and at the same time, a shock wave mixed with burnt cooked meat fragments shook the area.

The explosion quickly attracted hundreds of other second-level legion members nearby. Shen Jie directly entered the black warrior assimilation form, turned into a black light, and flashed onto the battlefield.

When the aftermath of the explosion faded...

The node organisms growing on the long fleshy tubes have been reduced to ashes and turned into charred charcoal.

But at this moment!
The large Zerg that had been summoned by the node organisms earlier emerged from the darkness.

They were several giant second-order tiger-spine worms that were nearly thirty meters in size and almost half the height of the meat tower!
And their levels are all in the late second stage!
Lin Feng counted them and fortunately there were only three.

There is no great danger for the time being.

At this moment, a strange scene suddenly appeared in front of everyone who had already gathered.

I saw new tissues beginning to proliferate on the long fleshy tube that had been shattered by the armor-piercing cannon.

The pink and tender pieces of meat that were split apart were constantly repairing themselves along the cross-section of the wound that was blown apart at the end.

Until it grew back to its original length of more than ten meters, at its terminal part, the woman, who previously had only the upper body, condensed into shape again.

The clothes that were blown away naturally could not be restored. However, when her new pink skin was completely condensed, a layer of orange-yellow scales made of second-order giant jaw material gradually emerged on her plump body.

The node organisms were restored to their original state in just ten seconds, and they quickly evolved countermeasures after being damaged.

Lin Feng frowned slightly.

During this period, the electromagnetic cannon in his hand has been cooperating with the second-level legion team behind him to attack the giant tiger-spine worm blocking the node organism.

Of course, he could activate the bullet time or the Death Eye attribute, and kill the node organisms that were proliferating and recovering through the tiger spine worm...

But the protected Ling Yi said:

"It's useless! Its genes have merged with this incubation nest. Unless we destroy this insect nest, we will never be able to kill them all!"

At the same time, Lin Feng also saw an appraisal reminder in front of him. The other party's attribute data changed very little:
"Parasitic Matrix - Variant Node Organism"

"HP 4800, Vt 300, SPR 1020"

"Super Power Awakening: Psychic Shock"

"Note: Every time a node organism is killed, it will evolve a countermeasure. Unless the symbiotic device can be completely destroyed, it will become stronger and stronger."

This strange chimera symbiote will only lose the health points of its previous physical attribute each time it is killed, so it will become stronger and stronger. Every time it dies, its physical and mental attributes will be further improved.

Unless the hatching meat tower and the main insect nest in front of us are completely destroyed...

However, just after the attack, Lin Feng keenly discovered that when the dead node organism was resurrected, a second-level insect egg embedded in the wall of the meat tower directly dimmed.

The rich life energy contained within is absorbed by the node organisms as the price for rapid proliferation and resurrection.

This also means that everyone can no longer attack and kill the opponent, but also have to withstand the attack of the second-level tiger spine insect and steal the insect eggs first...

Thinking of this, Lin Feng raised his left hand, aimed at the level 28 tiger spine worm in front of him, fired an armor-piercing cannon, hit its eyeball directly, and then blew up its brain.

The remaining two level 27 tiger-backed worms were also unable to approach under the bombardment of the seven team members with shotguns.

He was then easily killed by Shen Jie, who had entered the Winged Tiger Berserker Form and was wielding two second-level giant blades.

In just twenty seconds, the three second-stage late-stage tiger-spine worms that were able to act independently were filled with resentment.

After their bodies fell, the regrown node organisms just came to their senses, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.

Then he revealed a ferocious and ferocious expression, and quickly retreated into the darkness to hide his body.

Seeing this, Shen Jie was about to chase and kill him.

Lin Feng spoke up in time to stop it:
"Don't chase it! It's already connected to this hatching meat tower. Killing it will only waste the number of second-level insect eggs."

The man behind him repeated the properties of the node creatures to everyone.

Hearing about such a strange synthetic creature, the Second Order Legion team felt uneasy and a little uncomfortable.

And Ling Yi was not idle either, and continued to urge:

"While it is still trying to gather strength, let's quickly dig out the second-level insect eggs!"

"Just tear off the film on top, unplug the nutrient hose, and then pry it up from the meat wall."

Lin Feng frowned slightly and pointed the gun at the meat tower:
"What about those that have already formed? Is the nutrient solution inside still effective?"

Ling Yi shook his head:
"Kill it directly. This stage breeds toxins, and human awakeners cannot eat it."

Lin Feng nodded and immediately made arrangements: "Pry off all those that have just been put in at the bottom. As for those that have already formed at the top, use your guns to shoot them and complete the evolution accumulation as soon as possible."

"I think there will be another fierce battle later!"

There are more than 800 eggs in total, and it is estimated that half of them are undeveloped insect eggs. The other 400 eggs that are not worth collecting will be handed over to Shen Jie and his eight men to intercept.

Except for Shen Jie who has entered the middle stage of the second stage and can upgrade to lv29 by killing more than thirty insects, the other seven members who have just entered the second stage lv20 each need fifty-four second-stage insect eggs to reach the late stage of the second stage.

By this calculation, four hundred formed second-order insect eggs can just meet their needs.

The seven team members followed Lin Feng's orders, took out large-caliber rifles from their backpacks, and began to kill the insect eggs in high places.

As long as they haven't hatched and equipped themselves with armor, these budding eggs are even more fragile than red beetles.

Two shots will kill one.

Accumulate the upgrade points for the second stage once.

It's extremely relaxing.

At the same time, Lin Feng was wary of the node organisms hiding in the darkness, while using the tiger-tooth chainsaw sword to cut off the giant jaws of three late-stage tiger-spine worms and integrated them into the flying tiger armor on his body.

This time when attacking the underground mother nest, Lin Feng knew that there would never be such an opportunity again to sneak into the deep easily, and he had not yet encountered the queen mother.

So this opportunity is rare, so if you want to do it, you'd better do it on a big scale and take away all the materials you can collect.

The girl next to her was not idle either. She disappeared for a while and then brought back a group of red beetles.

Because their level is too low, the busy people have no time to care about these harmless worker insects.

Long Yi controlled more than a dozen level 9 large red beetles and came to Lin Feng's side. Many of the red beetles carried a second-level insect egg on their backs.

It looks like they are the ones that crawled into the entrance before. I have to thank them for the reminder.

Lin Feng absorbed the giant jaw, stood up and asked:

"Do you have extra mental power to control them?"

Long Yi looked solemn, and from time to time he looked into the darkness where the node organism had just disappeared, and replied:
"Of the five tiger-spine insects I controlled that were blocking the door, two have already lost contact. They must have been killed by the tiger-spine insects summoned by the node mother. Now there are three left. They can probably hold on for another seven or eight minutes."

"The node mother body will not give up just like that, and this fusion body does not belong to the mother queen here..."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. He continued to release his telepathic skills, probing back and forth without relaxing his vigilance.

At this moment, with the faint fluorescence of the meat tower, one can clearly see the slightly heavy expression on Longyi's face. The mud and Zerg blood splattered everywhere create a desolate feeling of a mad woman at the end of her life.

Raising the Tiger Tooth Chainsaw Sword, Lin Feng asked:

"You mean... this node organism was sent by Queen Mother No. 76 from Haicheng?"

"But the territory above belongs to the Queen Mother of Jiangbei."

The scorpion nodded slightly:
"So I'm also very confused. According to common sense, the northern city is only about ten kilometers away from here, so there is no need to arrange a node mother body... unless this mother body is No. 76 and was specially arranged here."

"These red beetles carrying second-order insect eggs carry the aura of the Haicheng Zerg, which means that most of the second-order insect eggs here are transformed from the first-order peak black-spine insects in Haicheng. They were sent here by No. 76 to be hatched and processed into second-order tiger-spine insects."

"And Haicheng is two cities away from here, more than a hundred kilometers away. We definitely need a node mother body to help Queen Mother No. 76 to look after the place."

"Preventing us from invading is only one aspect. The original goal should be to maintain the production order here and prevent the queen from allying with us to seek personal gain and steal the second-level insect eggs."

Lin Feng nodded:
"This inference is correct. Moreover, the spiritual attribute power of the node mother has also entered the third stage. At the same time, it can continue to adapt and become stronger..."

"I just don't know if I can kill it in the end..."

However, before he could finish his words, Lin Feng's face changed immediately, and he activated the bullet time attribute immediately, while activating the absolute domain of the Flying Tiger Armor. He turned around suddenly, and took advantage of the situation to block the tiger-tooth chainsaw sword in his right hand in front of him!

These smooth and seamless movements occur in just one tenth of a second.

As the Tiger Tooth Chainsaw Sword felt heavy pressure, when Lin Feng looked at the darkness behind him...

The strong sense of crisis that suddenly emerged from my instinct finally came before my eyes!

I saw a terrifying giant jaw twenty meters long on the orange translucent energy shield released by the absolute domain, which had penetrated the shield and landed directly on my head!

If it weren't for the tiger-tooth chainsaw sword, Lin Feng's Flying Tiger Armor would have suffered a heavy blow and his body would have suffered blunt injuries.

But even so...

Even with the energy shield's resistance, this terrifying giant jaw still contained a powerful impact force. It hit the chainsaw sword, causing Lin Feng's mouth to break directly, and the palm armor also cracked. Blood gradually seeped out from the gaps in the armor...

This force reaches a terrifying fifty or sixty tons!

Lin Feng knew that if it were not for the absolute defensive energy shield, the actual impact force of this huge force would have been close to a hundred tons!

Holding the sword with one hand, he could only resist with difficulty.

But the opponent obviously didn't want to give up. He wanted to wait until the shield disappeared and then kill the target.

However, what was more fatal than the gradual dissipation of the energy shield was that the bullet time was about to run out, so Lin Feng made a prompt decision, put down the electromagnetic cannon with his other hand, slung it back on his back, and then used his free left hand to support the growing pressure with both hands.

Finally, he found the right moment, removed the energy shield, activated the Flying Tiger Armor's flight mode, turned sideways to remove the thrust from the giant jaw, and suddenly retreated backwards.

At the same time, while retreating, he grabbed Lingyi's slender waist tightly.

It retreated all the way to a hundred meters away and then stopped in mid-air.

At this moment, Ling Yi just came to his senses and was extremely shocked when he saw the giant tiger-backed worm suddenly attacking from the darkness. The second-level legion team that was still prying and killing also stopped their actions and fled away vigilantly.

Just a beat slower than Lin Feng was Shen Jie, who was carrying insect eggs nearby.

Even when he retreated to the black warrior form, his instincts were just as sharp. Almost at the same time when the enemy launched a surprise attack, the black warrior form on his body was stimulated as if its hair stood on end, and automatically entered the full form of the Winged Tiger Mad Fighting.

Fortunately, the enemy's thunder attack did not lock on him, but only targeted Lin Feng!

At this moment, the giant tiger-backed worm revealed its true form under the fluorescent light of the meat tower...

It was a bit bigger than the previous level 28 tiger-backed worm, but the biggest difference was that this giant tiger-backed worm had yellow patterns all over its body, which had completely covered the original black patterns.

After recovering from his shock, Long Yi immediately spoke up to warn and dissuade everyone:
"This is a peak second-level tiger-spine worm! Its entire body is made of second-level giant jaw material!"

“It can be said to be the strongest Zerg below the high level!”

"Invincible in close combat! Run! Keep your distance from it!"

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed suddenly, and at the same time he saw that behind this level 29 tiger-spine worm, the node mother was continuously releasing spiritual energy, covering the entire body of the tiger-spine worm with a layer of energy.

It was precisely this invisible energy film that concealed the opponent's breath fluctuations. In the perception of Lin Feng and Long, it was as if it had become invisible and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the level 29 giant tiger-spine worm quickly hid in the dark depths of the insect nest under the control of the node mother.

Lin Feng immediately shouted:
"Everyone, come here and surround the hatchery! Don't go into the darkness alone!"

Facing a lv29 tiger spine worm with various bonuses...

A fierce battle is inevitable.

However, what made Lin Feng feel strange was why he had never encountered a second-level peak tiger-spine worm before?

The second-level legion team surrounded the city and stood guard in two rows behind Lin Feng. Behind him, Ling Yi spoke with a trembling voice:

"They already have thousands of tiger spine worms..."

At this moment, Lin Feng finally identified and loaded the attribute data of the lv29 tiger spine worm:
"Tiger spine worm lv29/29, about to evolve"

"HP 990, Vt 990, SPR 90"

"Note:……"
