Reincarnation space, but the style is wrong

Chapter 66 Invasion
In the crack outside the spiritual vision layer, a shadow is wandering.

After reaching the periphery of a certain level, the shadow stopped, transformed into a human form, and stared at it with empty eyes.

Chen Xingzhi compared his position with the coordinates. After a while, he finally confirmed that the level in front of him was the place he was looking for.

He did not send his incarnation in immediately, but instead split out several small insect-shaped shadows and sent them to sneak in.

He called these specially modified alien insects "Shadow Lurkers". They have shadow-like bodies and can move around everywhere in the shadows. They are natural assassins and scouts.

This time, they will act as his spies and minions to help him find out the situation at this level.

After the shadow lurkers took the lead, Chen Xingzhi's connection with them was cut off.

This situation was not unexpected to him. Before setting off, he had already considered that the Zerg might lose contact with him.

Therefore, he had already added fuzzy minds to the Shadow Lurkers, allowing them to make corresponding judgments when they were disconnected from the Hive, and look for every opportunity to reconnect with the Hive.

Not long after, a signal came back intermittently.

Chen Xingzhi intercepted it, and after confirming that there was no hidden danger, he began to analyze the information in it.

"Authentication is correct. Parsing is complete."

A large amount of information poured into his soul, allowing him to see a world with a completely different style.

Above the sky, it was pitch black.

The ground is completely covered with steel, with nothing above it, flat and open.

These are all fragments of the memories of a certain shadow lurker. At the end of the memory, it saw a monster made of a mixture of steel, flesh and blood appear out of thin air.

A laser shot out from the monster's hand and instantly engulfed it.

After going through this memory, Chen Xingzhi frowned, still waiting for news from other shadow lurkers.

After a while, news about the remaining shadow lurkers gradually came out.

Without exception, they all saw similar scenes and encountered monsters made of steel and flesh that appeared out of nowhere.

They are no match for those monsters. Even the Shadow Body is not immune to the monsters' wide variety of attacks.

In the end, all the shadow lurkers sent by Chen Xingzhi were wiped out, but fortunately they all sent out the news before they died.

After browsing the memories of several Shadow Lurkers, Chen Xingzhi also roughly understood how those monsters existed.

This is an entity composed of machinery, flesh, and emotions. It has the ability to jump through space. In addition to physical attack methods, it can also spread an invisible mental wave to pollute the enemy's mind.

The shadow lurkers sent out earlier were also affected by this mental fluctuation, which made their already simple minds even simpler.

He is so naive that he can't even fight back and can only sit and wait to die.

"The intensity of the mental fluctuations is quite average, but there should be stronger individuals among them, or there may be a lot of them, otherwise Zhang Tianshi and his men would not have been defeated here and had to rely on humanity to rescue them."

Having said that, as the will of the Rotten Nest, Chen Xingzhi's resistance to this kind of mental pollution is far beyond what Zhang Tianshi and the others can compare to.

What's more, it's not just the monsters that can pollute the mind, he also has this skill.

In addition, he also noticed some special features of this level.

Unlike the other levels, matter exists at this level.

Whether it is the unknown creation that covers the sky or the land of steel, it shows that a powerful civilization once existed at this level.

He suspected that this civilization was involved in the origin or cause of the psychic layer. Even if it was not, it was closely related to the psychic layer.

But it was also good this way. Since the matter existed, he could try to send the swarm of insects into it without his own avatar having to go through the trouble alone.

Shadows spread across the cracks in the spiritual vision layer, and in the deep darkness, a huge, eerie city loomed.

Outside the giant city, countless alien insects were crawling on the ground, waiting for the order from the swarm master.

"My descendants, go and devour the world before you."

A vast will swept through the insect swarm, causing their blood to boil uncontrollably. They roared and rushed out, crossing the shadow rift and entering the steel-covered level.

As soon as they entered, the swarm of insects came under fierce attack.

A large number of half-flesh and half-mechanical entities suddenly appeared through space jumps, and they fought back with all kinds of mechanical equipment on their bodies.

In an instant, the overwhelming lasers, flames, and bullets prevented the Zerg from advancing an inch.

But fortunately, the Zerg is not without the ability to fight back.

Plasma cannons, strong acid, and the yin and yang dissociation mysterious light formed by the yin and yang energies poured out, and soon a safe space was cleared.

The swarm, having gained a foothold, immediately set up a sub-node here to ensure that the connection with Chen Xingzhi would not be cut off.

The bodies of the dead Zerg actively decomposed, forming patches of fungal carpets that gradually spread out on the cold steel surface.

Since this entire level is covered with steel, the Zerg cannot replenish organic matter from the environment and can only rely on the biomass stored in the Dead City in the Shadow and the flesh and blood of those monsters to maintain its status.

The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Chen Xingzhi.

Therefore, he planned to fight quickly and reach the coordinates as soon as possible.

The gathered swarm of insects pushed forward all the way, crushing the corpses of countless monsters and gradually approaching the coordinate location.

Soon, through the eyes of an alien insect, Chen Xingzhi saw his destination - a silver-white tower rising abruptly from the flat ground.

"That should be the place I'm looking for. It's also where the 'Spiritual World Stabilizer' is located."

Before coming, Ning Xiu had already told him the purpose of this trip.

According to him, this device called the "Spiritual World Stabilizer" can be used to stabilize the spiritual vision layer and stop it from eroding the human world.

Chen Xingzhi didn't know whether this device really had this effect. He could only hope that it was still intact and had not been destroyed by those monsters.

Before he reached the bottom of the tower, a large number of monsters appeared out of nowhere.

Unlike before, this time their number is several times greater than before.

The dense firepower forced the swarm of insects to stop advancing and turn to deal with the monsters that came from nowhere.

Although there were many monsters this time, the swarm had never lost in terms of numbers and quickly overwhelmed them with ten times their numbers.

When all the monsters are dead, there will be no more obstacles ahead for the swarm.

They quickly arrived at the foot of the tower and surrounded it.

After a while, a group of alien insects broke away from the main force and entered the tower.

The entire tower covers a large area and is divided into two parts: above ground and underground.

In order to save time, Chen Xingzhi simply sent another batch of alien insects and divided them into two groups to explore the two parts respectively.

Not long after the exploration began, the Zerg reported one discovery after another.

Among them are paper materials with unknown text printed on them, as well as equipment with unknown purposes.

After reading the Zerg's report, Chen Xingzhi thought, "These should be items left behind by the civilization that built this place. I don't know what happened to this civilization in the end. And I don't know why this place that seems to be a semi-finished ideal city only has one building, the tower."

There are too many mysteries, and perhaps the answers can only be found after he finishes translating these unknown texts.

This would probably take him a lot of time, even though his thinking speed was much faster than that of ordinary people.

After all, the language of an alien civilization is not so easy to decipher, especially since he has never been exposed to translation before. He has to master the knowledge in this area before he can start translating.

Just as he let his thoughts wander, an alien insect suddenly sent back a message saying that it had discovered a device that was suspected to be a spirit world stabilizer.

And it is located at the bottom of the tower.
