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

Chapter 250: Choice, Level King Hunter, Spine King, Mad King

After placing more than a hundred second-stage insect eggs into the hatching pyramid, Lin Feng then threw the decomposed biological colonization equipment assembly materials and the amethyst brain dug out from the queen mother's head into the pyramid.

Long Yi stood aside, frowning slightly:

"So little is harvested this time? Only a hundred, not enough for the genetic warriors who will participate in the realm of mind trial."

Lin Feng shrugged:

"The Yong'an River Queen Mother this time is not that strong. Judging from her attributes, she should have just been promoted to the initial stage of the third stage. The number of the second-stage Zerg swarms under her command is not as many as that of the Yunxialing Queen Mother."

"And the mother nest for hatching second-level insect eggs is only a small pyramid, with a total of more than 200 eggs. Half of them are still hatched and can only be used to harvest life energy..."

"But this makes no difference to Qin Hu and his men. Under his promotion, the high-end forces of the southern corps are all genetic warriors who have undergone surgery. They are not afraid of insect botulinum toxins and can directly ingest the nutrients extracted from the larvae."

"Maybe for them, the texture and taste are better if they eat it directly."

Hearing Lin Feng's teasing, Long Yi twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Shen Jie who was still in an advanced coma:

"When this guy wakes up, as long as he releases the pure power of the spinal worm state of mind and covers the participants, he can start a large-scale active state of mind trial."

"Besides, with him here, if we encounter an Zerg attack, we can temporarily delay it and deal with it."

Lin Feng was stunned:
"You mean, if we start this collective state of mind trial, the Queen Mother will notice it? Then we have to enter it together again?"

The scorpion nodded slightly:
"It's possible. After all, according to your estimate, the number of participants this time may reach 50 to 60 people, which is equivalent to a large-scale sacrificial ceremony. The artistic conception world formed by the collective fusion may be 5/1000 of the size of the Ji Shen Star."

"It is enough to condense into the divine domain of the Spine God, which has 5/1000 of the power of the divine domain. The Zerg Queen within a hundred miles will definitely be aware of this collective power."

"But with Shen Jie here, you don't have to worry too much. The artistic conception power he releases can also cover up the artistic conception aura overflowing from the trial."

"Moreover, with the strength of the killing state, ordinary third-order early-stage mother queens are simply vulnerable. Even if a middle-stage mother queen is at the gate of the city, she can still fight with it."

Lin Feng nodded. If he wanted to deal with one of the four mid-stage queens in the later stage, Shen Jie would also be a great help.

Ling Yi continued:
"As for whether the two of us should accompany you in, my suggestion is yes. After all, with our current strength, we can withdraw and return at any time."

"The only problem is that if you use the third-order spiritual power to enter it, you can only stay outside the realm of mind and observe, and communicate with the trial-taker through consciousness. You cannot intervene in anything in the realm of mind."

"You can imagine that the artistic conception world is a spiritual bubble. Before, we were only at the peak of the second level and were still very weak, so we can use the spiritual channel to enter it."

"We are too powerful now. If we make a move inside, it will be like a tidal wave, turning the world upside down. It is easy to directly puncture the entire artistic conception world."

"So you can either stay on the surface of the bubble and be an observer who can't intervene, or release a small amount of your spiritual energy and suppress it to the level of the second level of perfection. Then you can follow the trial-taker and enter it together."

"The former has no danger or pressure, and we can withdraw at any time. Even if the artistic conception world is shattered and disintegrated, it will not harm us at all."

"As for the latter, if something unexpected happens and we cannot retrieve the spiritual clones we released, our spiritual strength will drop a small level."

"It is necessary to absorb the purple crystal brains of two early queen mothers in order to recover."

Lin Feng frowned slightly, feeling conflicted.

In fact, he was very happy to experience it again, not only to accumulate combat experience with the third-order king spiny worm, but also to experience the environment of an alien planet.

Last time it was just a palm-sized artistic conception world with a radius of 20 to 30 kilometers. The background in the distance was actually game textures, and the rules of the world were not perfect.

This time, it is a large-scale artistic conception world that is large enough to cover several states. It can be regarded as part of the divine domain of the Jishen Star and can show more local characteristics of the Jishen Star.

As the scope expands, the laws of the world will become more and more perfect, no different from the real Spina.

Such a wonderful journey to an alien planet, even though Lin Feng has entered the third stage and can easily fly into the sky and hide underground on the blue planet, he still yearns for it.

Besides, he didn't care whether others passed the realm of mind test or not...

But Qin Hu himself must pass safely and master one of the three major artistic conceptions of the spiny worm.

Otherwise, if he died in the trial, the southern army, which had finally gotten on the right track, would fall into a long period of internal strife.

At the same time, the entire northern counterattack front will quickly collapse in a short period of time with the death of Qin Hu.

This was something Lin Feng could not accept.

Everyone else can die, except Qin Hu.

Otherwise, Lin Feng would not have the time and energy to support the second leader of the Northern Salvation Army.

So after considering for a moment, Lin Feng finally decided to use the second method, directly enter the world of artistic conception, and artificially intervene in the results of this trial.

The corners of Long Yi's mouth slightly raised, as if he had anticipated Lin Feng's choice. While controlling the hatching pyramid and connecting the new second-order insect eggs, he spoke to comfort him:

"Don't worry, we are not like before. We have mastered the power of artistic conception. Even if we can only exert the upper limit of the peak of the second stage, we can easily defeat the early stage of the third stage king spinal worm when we join forces."

"Besides, even if I lose this part, I can just absorb two more purple crystal brains."

Lin Feng nodded.

If you enter this field, the benefits will definitely outweigh the risks.

What's more, now that I have mastered the state of mind of particle control, perhaps it can play a greater role on the Star of the Gods.

A primitive and barren newborn planet, with all matter basically exposed. Particle control can easily extract and synthesize various tools to arm all the trial-takers.

Moreover, after the collective trial is over, he can also gain two other artistic conception-derived abilities of the Spinosaurus Clan.

The three major artistic conceptions of the spinal insect tribe:

Unyielding, fearless, and the killing power mastered by Shen Jie.

From the state of killing, Lin Feng gained the derived ability of the state of killing frenzy. By consuming the promotion energy once, he can increase the physical attribute value by 50%.

After he was promoted to the late second stage, this ability helped Lin Feng to kill many enemies.

Later, during the Queen Mother's beheading operation, he also provided a lot of help, allowing his strength to break through 150 tons, tightly grasping the tiger-tooth chainsaw sword and breaking the cervical guard.

Although it is not as perverted as the original killing mood, it also has fewer restrictions on activation and use.

When Lin Feng reaches the late third stage and the peak of the third stage in the future, he may have to rely on this ability again to challenge the fourth-level life forms.

Therefore, if Lin Feng can gain the other two artistic conceptions of unyielding and fearless this time, it will also be of great benefit to him.

In the afternoon, Long took a break from his busy schedule and completed the assembly of the second colonial mecha.

It is also of the thirty-three level gold grade.

Because Lin Feng was unable to bind the fifth piece of equipment, he gave it to Long Yi to drive.

It just so happened that as the Queen Mother's clone, her physical structure could perfectly adapt to being an organic body composed of the mother's flesh and blood.

The communication between cells is seamless, including the unlimited reproduction of the cells themselves, which allows the dragonfly to directly absorb the flesh and blood of the Zerg to repair its body during battle.

Except that her weapons and equipment are slightly inferior to Lin Feng, her combat potential is greater when fighting unarmed.

Lin Feng then named his own mecha the first generation machine, while Long Yi was driving the mass-produced Queen Mother.

As the name suggests, only people with queen cells can drive it.

So at this moment in the Savior Army, in addition to Long Yi, there is also Jiang Yuner, as the genetic mother, who can also control the Queen Mother very smoothly and perform various actions.

He is also one of the reserve pilots.

Time passed quickly and soon it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

After a long wait, Shen Jie successfully woke up from the qualitative change of cross-level evolution.

He suddenly opened his eyes, sat on the ground, gasping for breath, his whole body soaked.

Lin Feng looked at the deformed Zerg armor on his body, which fell off piece by piece, revealing deep yellow and golden skin, like mature dark brown wheat.

It is a material that is soft in texture, but its strength and toughness far exceed the giant jaws of the tiger-backed worm.

It seems that after entering the third stage, the hybrid cells containing multiple genes in Shen Jie's body have reached a perfect level of fusion. Lin Feng's eyes immediately showed the identification data:
"Shen Jie, lv30/39"

"HP 1.4k, PH 1.4k, SP 1.3k"

"Super Power Awakening: Devouring and Assimilation - Royal Insect Form"

"Royal Insect Form: A mixture of genes from various alien insect races, fused into the most suitable combat form. After the transformation, the basic physical attribute value is increased by 30%, and the life and mental attribute values ​​are deducted by 10%, which can be restored by eating and resting."

"Inheritance of Artistic Concept: Primal Killing"

"Primitive Killing: After activation, you can get a 100% basic physical attribute bonus, which lasts for 10 minutes. Every time you kill a living being of the same level or above, you can extend the state of mind for five minutes. After activation, 1% of the basic mental attribute value will be consumed every minute, which can be replenished by killing the target."

"Review: The art of killing is reborn from the savage primitive destructive emotions. It was born for only one thing, that is, destruction!"

"Note: The ability to devour and assimilate has been integrated into the original killing state of mind, gaining the function of devouring evolution. By killing and devouring the target, you can absorb the target's blood to improve yourself and increase the physical bonus of the assimilated form."

Compared with the previous level 2 peak period, the killing state of mind now no longer has so many restrictions. It does not require killing one creature of the same level to activate it, nor does it require killing ten creatures of the same level to close it.

Moreover, in the third stage, you can also get a 100% attribute bonus, which shows how powerful the killing state of mind is.

It fits the high evaluation given by Long Yi very well:
The killing state of mind is the Zerg's strongest offensive state of mind.

none of them.

Combined with the swallowing and assimilation of the royal insect form and the basic 30% physical attribute bonus, Shen Jie, who has just been promoted to level , has a maximum physical burst of up to points.

It is equivalent to more than 300 tons of explosive force.

Comparable to a level 33 Zerg Queen.

When he was promoted to level 33, his basic physical attributes were raised to 2,900, and with the added bonus of artistic conception and supernatural power...

He will have a terrifying physical attribute of up to 6,600 points, and can even compete with Lin Feng who is driving a colonial mecha in his prime.

As long as one can withstand the mental attack of the middle-stage queen mother, it is not impossible to kill across levels.

When Lin Feng was impressed by the power of the killing state, Long Yi beside him added:

"After entering the third stage, as a genetic hybrid, Shen Jie, you can obtain the title of King Hunter, especially since you have mastered the killing state of mind..."

"Basically, all the Spine Kings of all generations relied on their killing intent to overwhelm the other heroes and ascend to the fourth-level throne."

"From the current perspective, you have great potential to become one of the strong contenders for the fourth-level hunter king. After all, it is too difficult for a warrior hunter to master the state of killing. The requirement of mental stability alone can eliminate 99% of the competitors."

Lin Feng and Shen Jie looked at each other.

It was the first time for them to hear Long Yi talk about these things.

It may also be related to Shen Jie's smooth promotion. Only by becoming a third-level life form is he qualified to understand fourth-level matters.

But before the two of them could be happy for long, Long sighed and continued:
"Success is due to killing, and failure is also due to killing..."

"Mastering the killing state of mind means that when you unlock the power of a deeper state of mind, you will inevitably have to face the current fourth-level spine king..."

Lin Feng frowned slightly and asked in surprise:

"The fourth-level Spine King is still alive?!"

He knew that the fourth-level King Kai was still alive, in outer space above everyone's heads.

The World Zerg, like the Spinal Zerg, was one of the races that was absorbed into the Zerg system after the Zerg galaxy unification war because of its defeat.

And because they were born in the same galaxy, their genetic makeup has many similarities.

But unlike the docile auxiliary Zerg, the spiny worms are extremely aggressive.

In the sealed memory of the Zerg, when the Dark God King descended and the Zerg God was instantly defeated, there were many fierce fourth-order and fifth-order Spine Kings among the Zerg Kings who continued to attack.

They knew they were going to die, but they still rushed towards the invincible terrifying existence without hesitation.

Later, when the Zerg invaded the alien planet, they were always on guard against the spinal worms. They castrated their spiritual attributes, preventing the activation and awakening of their artistic conception, and also restricted their promotion to the third level.

So Lin Feng subconsciously believed that the spiny worms no longer existed and that the fourth-level and above universes existed.

However, compared to his sudden surprise, Shen Jie looked thoughtful.

Ling Yi looked at Shen Jie and explained slowly:

"Yes, it's still there."

"In the last Red Star battlefield, in order to kill the fourth-level Red King, we gave birth to the fourth-level Spine King. As a result, after it inherited the legacy of the previous Spine Kings..."

"Gradually losing his mind and becoming insane."

“I don’t know what happened in the spiritual world of the spinal worm. Anyway, after it became the Mad Queen, even a third-level king spinal worm would accept the inheritance of artistic conception and complete the trial…”

"Also becoming irritable and uncontrollable."

"So this fourth-level spine king is still sealed in the Land of the End by the Insect God, just to let its artistic conception energy continue to exert its residual heat."

After saying that, Long Yi stared at Shen Jie and asked:
"During your promotion process, you should have come to the Jishen Star again and entered the realm of artistic conception trial, right?"

Shen Jie nodded solemnly:

"Then I should have...seen it!"

"The Spine King's limbs and jaws were nailed to the cliff, and his entire body was locked with huge chains, unable to move."

"It was a little surprised by my appearance, but that moment of clarity was fleeting, and it became crazy again, always making strange roaring noises from its mouth."

"Under the influence of that voice, my mental state began to become a little abnormal. I could feel inexplicably irritable and panicked. I also entered the assimilation and violent state and turned into a bug man, with only a pair of red eyes left."

"In that artistic conception world, countless tiger-backed insects and even king-backed insects were caught in an endless fight. They fought and bit each other tirelessly..."

"The scene is ten thousand times more terrifying than the last artistic conception trial."

“It’s comparable to the divine realm summoned by the Queen Mother.”

"I thought I would be drowned in it, unable to extricate myself, but my human rationality prevented me from getting directly involved in the fight. So while I still had some rationality, I immediately looked for a way to escape."

"Then I thought of the volcano where the King Spinal Bug, which represents the killing state of mind, hid during the last state of mind trial."

"So we found an active volcano, killed the third-order king spiny worm inside, and then took its place."

"Endure the high temperature of volcanic magma and use the pain to stimulate the nerves to fight against the influence of the killing impulse..."

"In order to prevent myself from gradually losing my mind, I tried to recall the real world and my memories as a human being."

"I can feel myself falling in the hot magma, sinking deeper into the earth's core."

"My whole body began to melt and disappear..."

"Until one moment, I suddenly heard the word 'wake up'!"

"Then I opened my eyes and returned to reality..."

After listening to Shen Jie's slightly trembling voice describing his experience in the spiritual world, Lin Feng walked forward and patted his sweat-soaked shoulders:
"It's okay. It's all over."

"You have now become a third-rank king hunter, able to easily kill an early-stage queen mother. Your strength is beyond doubt."

"Go outside, relax, and take a rest. Come back to help when the artistic conception trial begins."

Shen Jie nodded, glanced at Lingyi who had been staring at him, and stood up and left the depressing hatchery nest.

Staring at his departing back, Lin Feng and Long tilted their heads and looked at each other, both of them wanting to say something but stopping themselves.

Waiting for Shen Jie to go away.
