Monster collectors on the cross-platform

Since the air force is already on its way, the ground forces should arrive soon as well.

However, the distant troops have not yet arrived. Now, all they need to do is rush past these Zerg in front of them to threaten the Brood Spawn.

With that in mind, Huo plunged headlong into the swarm of insects without hesitation. His body was surrounded by elements, and the aura of death began to subtly influence the swarm.

At the same time, the merged Isia also began to provide fire support, and various elemental spells rained down on the swarm of insects.

Huo punched a jumping bug and smashed its head. The next second, a bursting bug exploded right next to Huo.

Huo raised his hand and shook off the acid-covered arm, frowning slightly.

There were just too many insectoids around, and these insectoids fought with fearlessness, completely risking their lives, to the point that Huo Huan's steps were temporarily slowed down by them.

Just as Huo Huan was about to unleash a powerful attack to wipe out the surrounding Zerg, a half-human, half-spider figure appeared behind him. Who else could it be but Elise?

Elise's eight sharp spider legs resembled eight razor-sharp swords. Even surrounded by insectoid creatures, Elise moved with ease, exuding an inexplicable elegance.

Chapter 163 The Collapse of the Nest Insects

With Elise's assistance, Ho's advance speed immediately increased significantly.

Whether it was a thunder beast or a cockroach blocking Huo's path, none of them could survive a second under Iris's swift blade.

There's no need to elaborate further on the other Zerg, whose defenses are even weaker.

Just as Huo was about to approach the mother nest, a burst of spikes suddenly rose from under the fungal carpet.

The spikes tore through Huo Huan's battle armor, leaving bloody marks on his legs, while Elise, standing beside Huo Huan, remained unharmed.

Whenever a spike appears, Elise always manages to cut it off with a single kick.

These spikes are not made of conventional rock, but are purely flesh, and are likely the Zerg unit, the Lurker.

Huo hadn't yet had time to deal with the Zerg below; his immediate priority was to destroy the Zerg's swarms from the mother hive.

However, before Huo could act, another wave of attacks from the Zerg arrived.

One after another, spiky creatures, some resembling earthworms, emerged from beside the mother nest, opened their sharp mouths, and then sprayed a series of strong acids at Huo Huan and Elise.

The highly corrosive acid immediately poured over Huo Huan, corroding his armor and flesh, leaving them pitted and scarred.

Seeing this, Huo could only mobilize the life energy in his body to begin repairing it. The density of the swarm was simply too high, and with the underground lurkers and the cannon-like corruptors, Huo was overwhelmed and unable to lift his head.

These Zerg soldiers may not be strong individually, but their numbers are truly numerous.

Left with no other choice, Huo had to resort to a sudden burst of energy.

The next second, endless lava erupted from Huo Huan's location, instantly wiping out a large area of ​​the Zerg around him.

Taking advantage of the opening, Huo rushed directly to the Zerg mother hive and punched the tumor-like hive.

"Pfft!" The sensation was not like that of flesh; instead, it felt as soft as a water balloon. The special structure of the mother nest directly blocked Huo's powerful punch.

However, even though Huo Huan's fist was blocked, the elements on Huo Huan's fist were not so easy to block.

The annihilation effect created by the fusion of the four elements directly corroded a large hole in the area where the mother nest was hit.

Suddenly injured, the mother hive twitched twice as if convulsing. The next moment, all the Zerg seemed to have received some command and rushed towards Huo Huan like madmen.

Even the lurkers who were originally hidden underground revealed themselves and shot spikes at Huo.

The corrupters, resembling cannon emplacements, were not idle either, spraying strong acid from their mouths at Huo Huan like a high-pressure water gun.

Further away, even more thorny snakes were firing bone spikes at Huo, disregarding the risk of friendly fire.

In response to the Zerg's counterattack, Huo simply ignored it and directly confronted it head-on.

Seeing the Zerg's series of counterattacks, Huo threw several punches in succession, directly opening a hole in the fleshy wall of the mother hive.

Elise, who was standing nearby, was not idle either. With a few slashes, she widened the opening to the point where a person could crawl inside.

Seeing this, Huo immediately put away Elise and crawled into the nest through the opening.

Once inside the nest, the attacks Huo Huan received immediately decreased by more than half, with only a few sporadic attacks hitting him through his wounds.

After giving a cursory glance at the interior of the nest, Huo continued to move inward.

There didn't seem to be many Zerg inside the hive. Apart from a few scattered Zerg and those that had chased in through the wound, Huo hadn't found any defensive forces inside.

After advancing for several dozen seconds, Huo estimated that he should have reached the depths. After casually killing a few jumping insects around him, Huo stretched out his hands and held them in front of his chest.

The next second, a tiny black dot appeared in front of Huo Huan.

As soon as the tiny dot appeared, an extremely strong suction force emanated from it, and at the same time, the tiny dot began to expand continuously.

A few seconds later, Huo saw that the little dot had expanded to the size of a fist. He immediately pushed it with both hands, sending the ball directly towards the fleshy wall of the mother nest.

As the ball touched the mother nest, a series of sounds of flesh tearing apart immediately rang out.

At the same time, the massive hive began to tremble uncontrollably, sending invisible waves of energy to all the Zerg present.

Upon receiving the order, the Zerg immediately paused, then began to move away from the mother hive in an orderly manner.

Unfortunately, Huo was still inside the mother nest and did not see this scene. At this moment, Huo was still admiring the continuous expansion of the plane collapse.

Although it was a little strange that no more Zerg continued to rush in and attack him, Huo didn't think much of it, assuming that Isia outside was holding them back.

With the devouring of things, the plane collapse quickly expanded to its maximum size, and at this time the mother nest could not withstand it, and was directly torn into several pieces and completely devoured by the plane collapse.

As the dimensional collapse skill subsided, the original location of the mother hive was transformed into a huge pit, outside which swarms of insects lurked menacingly.

The objective has been achieved; it's time to retreat.

Seeing that there was still a large swarm of insectoids around him, Huo calmly spread his wings and soared into the sky.

Even during the retreat, they didn't forget to summon the Book of Collection to collect the spoils.

On the other side, Isia, in her air-mimicry form, saw Huo emerge from the mother nest and quickly exited her air elemental form, unleashing elemental bursts around her to cover Huo's retreat.

The two fought and retreated, and soon shook off the pursuing swarm of insects.

The swarm was helpless against this. There were no high-end combat forces around the mother hive, and the swarm, which relied on sheer numbers, could not keep up with the highly mobile Hohan and Isia.

After flying for a while and seeing that there were no more insectoids around, Huo summoned the Book of Collection to check his spoils.

Race Name: Mother Nest

Description: The Zerg production base possesses extremely powerful spawning capabilities, but it has no offensive capabilities whatsoever; it is a purely production-oriented 'building'.

Trait: Pregnancy

Nurturing: Apart from its defensive capabilities, the only commendable feature of the mother hive is its nurturing ability. When energy is plentiful, the mother hive can continuously produce larvae. Once loaded, the player gains the nurturing ability, greatly enhancing their ability to reproduce.

Race name: Larva

Introduction: Larvae are the organisms that are closest to the original alien insects. Each larva inherits the genetic code of all alien insects, so the larvae can pupate into any unit.

Trait: Pupaing

Pupaing: The larva has no combat ability, but with its complete genetic code, it can pupate into any Zerg unit. Once equipped, the player gains the ability to pupate. During pupation, the player can freely modify their own genetic fragments.

Race Name: Corruptors

Description: Containing deadly strong acid within their bodies, yet possessing virtually no mobility, Corruptors typically remain only near the Mother Nest.

Special trait: Acid spray

Acid Spray: The Corruptor's strong acid can not only corrode targets but also weaken their defenses. Once equipped, players can consume energy to create strong acid within their bodies and also have the ability to spray it out.

Chapter 164 Blessing

In addition to these, Huo also took in Lurkers, cockroaches, and Thunder Beasts, adding six new collectibles at once, which significantly increased the value of the collection.

However, these Zerg traits were all quite ordinary, and Huo had no desire to load them.

Fortunately, the quality was poor, but the quantity was considerable.

To Huo's surprise, he had thought that the Mother Nest had been caught up in the dimensional collapse and could no longer be contained.

However, in reality, it was still taken in by Huo Huan, so Huo Huan was somewhat confused about the conditions for taking in the Book of Collection.

However, this was ultimately a good thing. Huo thought for a while but still couldn't figure it out, so he gave up trying.

After examining all the collections, Huo had nothing else to do for the time being.

That's how it is in a world where the Zerg exist; all useful resources will be devoured by the Zerg and converted into resources for hatching the Zerg.

Even if players manage to eliminate the Zerg, all they will get are the Zerg corpses and a planet riddled with holes.

However, the Zerg will not be able to survive without restrictions. An unrestrained Zerg will only expand without limit and will eventually sweep across the entire universe, becoming a dimensional catastrophe.

The only saving grace is that the Zerg in this plane have not made contact with the Zerg Overmind, and are still in the early stages of expansion, making it entirely possible to nip them in the bud.

Of course, with Huo Huan's current strength, it is still difficult to shake the current Zerg. The main reason is that Huo Huan's current endurance is too poor. Faced with the overwhelming Zerg, the originally considerable collection value is now like a drop in the ocean and will be exhausted in no time.

We need more and stronger players to participate. Perhaps we can launch a surprise attack by uniting top players, just like in the last real battlefield?

The idea suddenly popped into Huo Huan's mind, but he quickly rejected it.

Unlike other races, even if the Zerg unite to destroy the Mother Nest, the Mother Nest still has many secondary nests, which can be regenerated by borrowing shells, turning a secondary nest into a Mother Nest.

Unless the entire mother hive and its clones can be destroyed.

However, the Zerg have been entrenched on this planet for quite some time, and no one knows how many secondary hives they have. If even one is missed, the Zerg could very well launch a comeback. Therefore, the plan to raid the mother hive cannot be undertaken for the time being.

Forget it, let's leave this kind of thing to the strategy players.

Huo shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, and began to focus on restoring his energy.

Compared to before, Huo, whose collection value is higher, is now restoring energy more frequently.

Perhaps it really is time to buy a way to restore energy again. Seeing the sunset in this world again, a sense of urgency rose in Huo Huan's heart.

The current energy recovery efficiency is too low; the time spent on recovery far exceeds the time spent in combat. It's definitely time to change the recovery methods.

With that in mind, Huo stopped rushing to find the Zerg and led the group back to the gravedigger's hut.

[Jin Li]: Is Qi Qi there?

[Qiqi, a professional businesswoman from the online community]: Yes, what are your needs, boss?

[Jin Li]: Do you have any efficient methods for restoring energy?

[Qiqi, a professional businesswoman on the internet]: Some bosses, please wait a moment.
