Dawn Spider

Traveling late at night,

In just one night, they arrived at the dangerous zone overrun by undead beasts.

The King of the Sky-Pine Insects, flying through the air, flapped its wings, its body gracefully descending, hanging upside down from the trunk of a large pine tree. It waved its antennae, pointing north, and said:

"About 100 kilometers ahead, in a semi-forest, semi-grassland landscape, there is a tribe of 30,000 guinea pig-like immortal beasts."

Jin asked, "Shall we move closer and kill any lone survivors nearby?"

"..."

The king of the hollow tung tree choked with sobs.

It's clear that the little spider has extremely limited knowledge about the undead.

Mu Kui is a very unqualified guide. It seems that she didn't explain it, or didn't explain it clearly, or perhaps Mu Kui doesn't know enough about the Undead Beasts.

The Hollow Tree Insect King pondered, organized its thoughts, and said, "When a ferocious beast parasitizes another, it will inherit some of the host's life characteristics. For example, guinea pigs are herbivores, and guinea pig-type immortal beasts are also herbivores. For example, guinea pigs live in groups, and guinea pig-type immortal beasts also like to move in groups."

"Moreover, almost all undead beasts possess extraordinary perception of the Force, extraordinary sense of smell and sight, and an incredible sense of life force."

"So what I mean is, when walking in dangerous areas, be very careful to stay away from these large-scale tribes inhabited by undead beasts."

"Also, try your best to conceal your original energy and leave as little trace as possible when walking to avoid being detected by ferocious beasts and being tracked down."

"understood."

Jin agreed and asked, "I've come to the Zhibai Continent to do business, mainly using the Dragonfly Warriors to transport goods by air. I wonder if there are any undead beasts that are good at flying, and whether we'll be attacked."

"Definitely. Definitely."

The Sky-Piercing Insect King said, "There are quite a few undead birds. Moreover, most insectoids can fly, it's just a matter of whether they are good or bad at flying. Most undead insectoids can fly, but in terms of flying ability alone, none can surpass the Dragonfly Warrior."

“Airborne cargo transport is relatively safe and not easily attacked, but it’s not absolute. Of course, if you’re using dragonfly warriors who are good at flying, a lord-level warrior is more than capable of handling any danger.”

"Understood……"

Jin seemed to be deep in thought.

The Hollow Tree Insect King was still uneasy and asked:

"Jin, how much do you know about the 'fusion evolution' of ferocious beasts?"

"Two ferocious beasts of the same parasitic species, merging into one? It is said that their life level and combat strength can increase dramatically in a short period of time."

“That’s right. But the Undead Beasts are different from other types of ferocious beasts. They have more developed brains and are more intelligent. The most important manifestation of this is their sense of belonging to their own kind and their efficient fusion. By efficient fusion…”

"For example, if a guinea pig is parasitized by a malevolent spirit and transformed into an undead beast, it can only gain one ability at first. If two undead beasts that have also gained the ability of 'immortality' merge, their ability will only be enhanced to a limited extent. This kind of fusion, with its limited improvement, is called 'cumulative fusion'."

"But if an undead beast that has gained the ability of 'immortality' merges with an undead beast that has gained the ability of 'swiftness,' the resulting undead beast will possess both the abilities of 'immortality' and 'swiftness.' It will not only have an extremely difficult-to-kill body, but also a flexible and versatile movement ability, increasing its overall combat power tenfold."

"If an undead beast that possesses the abilities of 'immortality' and 'swiftness' is fused with another undead beast that possesses the abilities of 'floating armor' and 'claws', the resulting undead beast will combine the three types of abilities of movement, defense, and attack, while also possessing the characteristic of immortality, and its strength will increase tenfold."

"The Undead Beast has ten abilities in total: Undead, Split, Swiftness, Charge, Trample, Claws, Explosive Kill, Floating Armor, Elemental Shield, and Shadow of Death!"

"As I said, the Undead Beasts are intelligent and possess a sense of kinship and kinship. They know how to efficiently fuse and combine all ten abilities, and they also know how to avoid or reduce the superimposed effects of fusion. They recognize each other and form communities."

Jin is aware of the ten abilities of the Undead and the formation of their tribes.

But the concepts of 'efficient fusion' and 'cumulative fusion' were completely new to Jin; he'd never heard of an undead beast understanding 'efficient fusion' and how to avoid 'cumulative fusion' before. "I understand..."

Jin asked, "Kongtong Insect King, will conflicts break out between different races of undead beast tribes?"

"of course!"

The Sky-Piercing Insect King replied, “But they are different from the Thunder Beast, Snow Beast, Flame Beast, and the Mist Beasts of your Northern Twin Islands. Undead Beasts do not hunt and devour indiscriminately driven by instinct. They only fight for territory and resources, and they will weigh the pros and cons and know when to advance and retreat.”

Jin asked, "What about those undead beasts that attacked the Zerg warriors in groups of three or five?"

Kongtongchong Wang said: "There are many situations. The most common one is that there are many predatory species in nature with a very small number of individuals, such as cheetahs. Their numbers are relatively small. After they are parasitized and mutated into immortal beasts, they cannot form large groups and still follow the cheetah's instincts, wandering around to hunt."

"In the second scenario, after each beast tide, the newly born undead beasts merge with each other to form small groups of three to five or a dozen, but they do not merge into a large swarm. The newly born undead beasts do not yet have a sufficient understanding of the world, so they wander aimlessly and inadvertently wander into the settlements of the Zerg warriors."

"The third scenario is that in a large colony, some particularly intelligent individuals voluntarily leave the colony to prey on other lone undead beasts or insectoid warriors, vying for Force food in order to grow and evolve rapidly."

"The fourth rare scenario is that some early, mid, and advanced Zerg warriors are parasitized by undead evil spirits and mutate into undead beasts. These undead beasts inherit the bloodline of the true god of nature, and their individual strength is no less than that of Zerg warriors at the same evolutionary level, and may even be more powerful and intelligent than ordinary undead beasts. They usually disdain to associate with other ordinary undead beasts and always act alone."

"There are many other rare cases, which I will not list one by one."

"Understood..."

Jin asked, "The Kongtong Insect King, there must be an even more special case, right? For example, an insect warrior who originally awakened a power-type or life-type talent was parasitized by an undead ferocious spirit and mutated into an undead beast..."

"That's right!"

The Sky-Piercing Insect King twitched its antennae and said, "The bloodline of the True God of Nature and the power of the Undead Beast are perfectly compatible, mutating into the strongest Undead Beast, which is even more powerful than most insect warriors of the same evolution level."

“This situation is extremely rare. I have been fighting undead beasts for more than two hundred years and have only seen a few cases.”

The Sky-Piercing Insect King flicked its antennae and pointed westward, saying, "These powerful undead beasts typically evolve into beast kings quickly by hunting other undead beasts, then enter the Undead Land to absorb the special primal energy within the energy field to continue their growth and evolution. The Undead Land harbors a large number of these terrifyingly powerful undead beast kings..."

The King of Hollow Trees provides detailed information about the Undead Beast.

After chatting for a while,

Take turns taking a light nap.

As evening fell, having rested and recharged, we set off to continue our westward wandering.

The Sky Tree Insect King concealed its aura and flew through the air, guiding Jin and Mu Kui as they scouted and searched.

until late at night,

The Hollow Tree Insect King floated down, hovering above Jin, waving its antennae and pointing, saying, "Jin, we've found a suitable one. Over there, 18 kilometers away, there are four crab-eating foxes equivalent to the level of a low-level lord. The beast spider is located on its abdomen. Jin, go and give it a try."

After saying that, it flapped its scales and three beams of orange-red light fell down, forming three lifelike orange-red butterfly marks on Jin's head.

"This is my glass shield. It can help you withstand three fatal attacks. Don't be afraid, charge forward with confidence."

The primordial energy within the Wood Sunflower Leader flowed, causing the light and shadow on its body to shift and its form to become ethereal, blending seamlessly with the surrounding mountains and forests.

"Gold, Sky Tree Insect King, I will not fight. I will stay here and wait."

"OK……"

Jin sped off. (End of Chapter)
