Werewolf wizard.

Chapter 168 The thrice sublimated swarm!
In the dungeon stronghold of the outpost, the entire main hall was collapsing. From the steel pillars supporting the main hall, one modified scarab after another, larger than a basketball, emerged.

It turned out that the entire load-bearing pillars of the main hall had already been devoured beyond recognition by the swarm of scarabs.

It looked fine from the outside, but in fact the inside was a mess. Sunan just gave Jinx and her swarm a simple order to attack, and the main hall was about to collapse.

At the same time, the entire dungeon outpost was collapsing like the main hall, as if a small earthquake had occurred.

Thousands of transformed scarabs, like a tide, engulfed the dungeon stronghold.

The current scarab swarm has undergone changes that were not seen during the second sublimation.

First of all, the main consciousness of the hive was born in Jinx, and all the insects in the swarm will be connected to the main consciousness of the hive.

In this way, there is basically no possibility of losing control.

In essence, the hive consciousness is a collective consciousness of individual Zerg that is born out of pain and fear of the swarm's extinction when facing attacks and damage from the Lizardmen and Drow.

The first goal of this collective consciousness is to maintain the survival of the swarm.

It is not even the Jinx itself, nor is it the simple addition of the consciousness of each individual in the swarm itself, but a situation where 1+1 is greater than 2.

It is different from the wolf pack effect.

While Sunan was using the Hive Mind Potion to help the semi-completed Hive Mind complete its evolution, he transformed the Hive Mind through the basic principles of the Werewolf Potion.

In this way, the hive consciousness will equate the continuation of the colony with the need to obey its orders.

In other words, let the hive consciousness believe that once the swarm leaves its rule, the swarm will die.

Let the hive consciousness set itself as its first protection target.

In this way, on the one hand, he greatly strengthened his control over the scarab swarm, and on the other hand, he connected the hive consciousness to the wolf pack effect.

Hive Mind becomes a subset of Wolf Pack Effect.

At this time, the troops of the thrice-sublimated scarab swarm also underwent tremendous changes, and there were almost no traces of the original scarab swarm from the second-sublimation period.

The first is the most basic transformation of the scarabs. Their sizes have all increased from the size of a basketball to the size of a chair.

Secondly, many new types of soldiers appeared, such as the shield scarab with a golden chitin shield on its head. When these shield scarabs formed a swarm, the golden chitin shields on their heads would overlap.

It's like the shield soldiers in a phalanx of human soldiers, who would stack shields on top of shields to form a powerful defensive force.

The original Spiked Scarab and Lava Scarab have also grown in size, and the Tank Scarab has disappeared because it has evolved into a Tunnel Scarab.

Tunnel scarabs are as big as elephants, and their mouthparts are specialized, making them incredibly efficient at digging underground tunnels. While digging, they can use the chitinous shell armor that grows on their bodies, which is thirteen times thicker than that of ordinary scarabs, to resist enemy attacks and launch attacks.

The original node scarabs have also disappeared, transformed into more specialized lord scarabs that have given up their melee combat capabilities and whose bodies have become translucent.

The Lord Scarab can transmit the mental fluctuations of the hive consciousness to better command the swarm.

The initial framework of the thrice-sublimated scarab swarm is a command framework of [Jinx the Queen - Lord Scarab - Scarab Troops].

The basic unit is the Transformed Scarab, the ranged unit is the Magma Scarab and the Spike Scarab, and the tank is the Tunnel Scarab.

The entire dungeon's Lizardman army suffered a brutal attack the moment they encountered the thrice-sublimated swarm of insects.

In the dungeon stronghold's training ground, the Blue Dragon Lizardmen formed a square formation and continuously breathed cold breath at the tunnel scarabs that were attacking them. However, despite this, the group of modified scarabs hiding behind the tunnel scarabs still rushed into their square formation with their numerical advantage.

Then, there was a massacre.

Everywhere there were blue dragon lizardmen and the terrified screams of ordinary lizardmen fleeing frantically.

Because this is different from ordinary wars in the underground world.

The war between the underground worlds is at most about capturing a group of soldiers and then reselling these slave soldiers.

But the attack of the scarab swarm on them was extinction-destroying, and every scarab was devoured quickly.

Inside the main hall of the stronghold, the drow female warrior Xue Shang reacted. She enchanted her samurai sword with her left palm, and immediately dark energy attached to it.

She rushed to the side of the mountain who was shouting and calling for help, and slashed at him. Immediately, three invisible slashes followed her samurai sword like a shadow.

The two transformed scarabs that were about to kill Shanshang and devour his flesh and blood were immediately sent flying backwards and killed by the drow warrior Xueshang.

Xue Shang threw his secondary weapon to Shan Shang, and used his samurai sword to cut the metal shackles on his hands. "You can still move."

"There's no hope here. I wronged you before."

"Not about that wizard."

"Even the insect swarms here right now are too numerous and too powerful. Fortunately, although there are many of them, their individual strength is insufficient. We can find a weak point and kill them."

"I will ask all the slave soldiers here to stay and not to escape, so as to buy us some time."

Shan was somewhat moved. He was a little worried that his aunt Xue would abandon him and run away. But the drow, although they admired the strong and never regarded slaves as human beings, were not so cruel to their own people.

Yukigami raised his katana and whispered a short spell.

Suddenly, the samurai sword she made of Still Iron began to vibrate, and all the dark energy gathered together. If it wasn't a weapon made of Still Iron, I'm afraid that this weapon would not be able to withstand the dark energy enchantment and would break directly.

She swung her sword downwards, and dark energy rushed towards the ground. The powerful dark energy wave knocked away all the modified scarab cannon fodder soldiers that rushed into the main hall, and killed many of them.

This is the second arcane magic she has mastered: [Dark Energy Shock].

Sunan noticed that the strength of this spell was equivalent to that of a spell cast by a second-class senior wizard apprentice.

The hive consciousness noticed the casualties of its own colony, and was immediately enraged, and filled with a deep desire to destroy its opponents.

The hive consciousness made an application to Sunan to use the Tyrant Scarab, and Sunan naturally agreed.

In itself, the Zerg's troops are relatively weak.

The Zerg Queen Jinx and her swarm of Zerg are equivalent to a super-large combination magic created by Sunan using dozens of magic spells superimposed on each other.

Therefore, it is even more necessary to use war to iterate and allow the Zerg to continue evolving.

As for the various types of potions he made, they were used to select and stabilize beneficial directions for them. Meanwhile, the sun-marked potion itself was only used to increase their connection with the sun, allowing them to gain stronger reproductive power.

Therefore, the reproductive capacity of the thrice sublimated insect swarm is far greater than that of the twice sublimated insect swarm.

Soon, twenty Tyrant Scarabs appeared at the entrance of the main hall of the dungeon stronghold with heavy footsteps and earth-shaking sounds.

Xueshang and Shanshang, who were about to take the opportunity to escape, saw the ten tyrant scarabs blocking their way, which were standing upright, had begun to abandon their insect limbs and instead used limbs like human hands and feet, and were like standing golden sun balls. Their pupils suddenly shrank.

Each Tyrant Scarab has well-developed muscles and is a fully upgraded version of the Transformed Scarab. It inherits the Tunnel Scarab's thirteen-layer scarab chitin armor.

Each of these Tyrant Scarabs has the ability to kill a senior official Storm Knight alone!
They are the culmination of the current evolution of the scarab swarm.

It is a specialized elite force that is superimposed on all the evolutions of the Zerg, and will evolve in the future as the Zerg continues to evolve.

The next moment, these tyrant scarabs swarmed forward, and Xueshang and Shanshang, who had already used spells continuously and were panting, were no match for these tyrant scarabs.

The first to fall was Shan Shang. His original fighting strength was about the same as that of three senior storm knights, but facing the continuous attacks of ten tyrant scarabs, he was the first to be beaten black and blue, and the weapons in his hands were directly snatched away by a tyrant scarab.

Next came Xueshang, who held out for a while. Her fighting power was roughly equivalent to that of seven experienced storm knights.

Originally, she could hold out for a while under the siege, but as soon as her nephew fell, she was immediately besieged by twenty tyrant scarabs.

In the face of numbers, she was soon defeated and her samurai sword was knocked away.

Before she was pinned to the ground by a group of tyrant scarabs, she secretly crushed a red ether stone.

Then, she was pinned to the ground by the Tyrant Scarab, with her head pressed to the ground, unable to move.

Xue Shang was horrified and humiliated. "Damn it..."

"We are the slave owners of Rye City. How could we be treated like this?"

Two drow were caught by the swarm at the same time.

But the hive mind did not let the scarabs eat them, but instead captured the two drow.

Sunan was a little surprised by this, but Jinx explained in Wolf Pack Effect: "The hive consciousness believes that this creature is still a valuable experiment for the master."

'So, don't want to devour them.'

'This time, the hive consciousness has basically kept the bodies of the blue dragon lizardmen and ordinary lizardmen who died in the battle intact. Master, you can extract the blood of these corpses and extract the dragon blood that is useful to you.'

Sunan thought for a moment and said, "That's good. Dragon-like blood can speed up the evolution of the Zerg and make the Zerg magic more complete."

"When I have Sunday refine the dragon-like blood, I can give some of it to your insect swarm for use."

"Dragon-like blood can also be made into a temporary body-strengthening potion. I can keep some of it for the wolf pack to use."

Warwick said from behind Sunan, "Young Master."

"Werewolves can also gain some strength by killing people, and they can also hone their martial arts, so I suggest that Mr. Blom also come down from the ground."

"Didn't he get a new weapon recently? I think Mr. Solon has high hopes for his weapon, so it's time to test it."

"Anyway, the castle is protected by Mr. Vasilyan and the Golem Army. Mr. Vasilyan is currently learning meditation, and we werewolves can't waste time."

In the wolf pack effect, Blom made a complaint. "Huh? I'm still taking a nap. Mr. Warwick, don't mess with me."
