Chapter 308: Chapter 242: Sea of Maggots! Summon Hellfire!
“Damn it! Why are the mosquitoes here so big!”
In the forest, Zhuang Shuai hid his bulky body in a huge mud pit, perfectly melding with the mud, only revealing two sly eyes.
“My lord, what should we do…”
A chubby, pitch-black soldier approached and asked in a soft voice.
Zhuang Shuai rolled his eyes: “How would I know? Tell our brothers to wait until the flies fly away.”
“My lord, should I take some brothers to catch a few flies and see if they’re edible?”
“Get lost!” Zhuang Shuai cursed: “Eat flies? Are you tired of living? Aren’t you afraid of the viruses and bacteria on the flies?”
The subordinate asked curiously, “Viruses? Bacteria? What’s that? These flies are also Alien Beasts, can’t we eat them?”
“Are they edible?”
“Yes,” the subordinate nodded vigorously: “When we were extremely hungry, we ate not only flies but also mice, ants, and some worms…”
“Eurgh… Enough, take a few brothers discreetly and get some flies from the edge of the mud pit. Be very careful!”
“Rest assured, my lord!”
Soon, several big fat fish emerged from the mud pit and sneaked up on the big tree at the edge.
There, several giant flies were feasting on the rotten meat by the side of the mud pit.
They were clueless to the pairs of malicious eyes watching them.
Quickly, two hours later, in a corner of the forest, Zhuang Shuai looked at the piece of black goop in his hand with broken wings sticking out, his face full of bewilderment.
“My lord, is it edible?”
Only a dozen soldiers were left by his side.
But these soldiers were all fat with dark skin, their skin covered in layers of cobweb-like fine lines, looking like walking wild boars.
Zhuang Shuai twitched the corner of his mouth: “Why don’t you give it a try?”
“Why not!”
The speaking soldier took the black mass from Zhuang Shuai’s hand and bit it.
“Blargh…”
A foul smell immediately filled the air.
“Ugh…”
“What does it taste like?”
“So stinky…”
“Stinky tofu mixed with snail rice noodles? It also has a hint of stinky mandarin fish, ugh…”
“Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and eat!”
A few minutes later, a few plump black soldiers clutching their stomachs hurried behind a large tree.
“Move! I’m going to shit!”
“Ah…!”
The view pulls back to reveal a dense swarm of giant flies continuing to the back, and an area surrounded by a large number of flies appears.
Under this area, the whole mountain has turned into an incredibly wide mud pit.
And within this mud pit, giant rocks, trees, and Alien Beasts have all turned into rotting mud.
In the mud, there was a group of… maggots the size of an adult’s head!
These maggots were pale, oozing a sticky liquid, squishing together in clumps, forming a huge maggot lake!
Around them, swarms of giant flies swooped in, grabbing Alien Beasts that were still struggling.
Black skin worms, colorful spiders, three-headed snakes, even Flying Thunder Dragons, sand worms, all were thrown into this maggot lake, serving as nourishment for the maggots!
They were using the Alien Beasts of Jasha Island to feed and nourish the giant flies!
Suddenly, a clump of maggots began to stir.
Tens of maggots rolled down, revealing a figure within.
An old woman in black clothes!
At this moment, her body was covered in a sticky liquid, highlighting her enchanting upper body.
Her lower body, however, was a huge and bloated pouch. With the pouch continuously pulsating, maggots crawled out from her body and joined the maggot sea.
Her gaze instinctively turned to the southwest.
“That presence, there are actually humans actively attacking my kin? Haha… they really overestimate themselves!”
“Although my kin have only been born for three days, thanks to the giant tree nurtured by a human hero, their power is already not weaker than adult ones!”
“My children…!”
With her roar, thousands of giant flies with bodies as tall as a person, scarlet compound eyes, and golden-green skin and fur, rose into the sky, buzzing noisily.
Next to these giant flies, there were even more slightly smaller ones, numbering in the thousands as well.
“Go!”
She pointed in the southwest direction and shouted: “In that direction… is the enemy of our Alien Insect Race! Kill them and bring their corpses back to feed our kin!”
“Buzz, buzz, buzz…!”
The thousands of giant flies were buzzing as if they were agreeing with the old woman in black.
Then, under the leadership of a thousand golden-green giant flies, the swarm menacingly rushed towards the southwest of the forest.
And that direction was where Zheng Cheng led his army to attack!
The edge of the black fog.
The fire gradually died out, and hundreds of hectares of forest around were burned to a cinder.
Around them were charred giant fly corpses.
Niu Jin Dao and others, leading the soldiers, began to clean up the battlefield.
The first encounter with the giant flies ended in a complete victory for Zheng Cheng’s soldiers!
“Huff…!”
On the giant eagle, Shadi gulped down large breaths of air, with sweat covering her forehead, cheeks, and waist.
She had put in the most effort in this battle.
By combining her furious fire technique with the furious wind technique, she created a huge sea of fire that burned a thousand giant flies into charred coal!
This battle also rapidly increased her level and strength.
Zheng Cheng who was behind her, lovingly embraced her: “Shadi, are you okay? You don’t need to hurry.”
Shadi’s face was a bit pale, but her smile did not fade.
“My lord, I’m very happy. Is this my power…”
“I really hope this power can continue to grow, to help my homeland…”
“Don’t worry, Shadi, I will help you.”
He patted the giant eagle’s head to signal it to fly down and let Shadi rest.
As for himself, he came to the side of the corpse of the giant fly and struck it with his sword.
Random Dissection!
[Skill Deployment Failed!]
“Huh?”
Zheng Cheng’s eyebrows slightly creased, the skill failed?
Continue.
Another slash, another failure.
“Did it fail again? Was it because the corpse was burned, or… can’t this giant fly be dissected for special ingredients?”
He gave it some thought and opened the attribute page for the Hero’s Altar.
Just as he thought.
In the Hero’s Altar’s “Alien Beast Soul Collection,” the quantity of the six-star Alien Beast souls was only 1450/10000!
The previous six-star Alien Beast Soul quantity was just over a thousand, those were the leftovers.
After they had killed so many giant flies, they had only accumulated over three hundred six-star Alien Beast souls.
That meant that these giant flies weren’t actually six-star Alien Beasts; they were merely bodies to house these souls.
About three giant flies had to merge to form a complete six-star Alien Beast soul.
At this point, most of the giant flies had been burned to ashes by Shadell’s Wildfire Spell, with some being burned to dried up corpses.
Only a very small portion of the giant flies preserved intact bodies.
These were the only ones Zheng Cheng could dissect.
It wasn’t until he’d dissected more than twenty of them that he got a successful prompt.
[Skill Successful!]
[You have obtained special ingredient: Giant Green Fly Hair.]
[You have obtained the DNA molecule of the Giant Green Fly (Mosquito Fly).]
[You have activated the DNA Chart of Giant Green Fly (Mosquito Fly).]
[Special Ingredient: Giant Green Fly Hair]
[Quality: 6-Star (Fake)]
[Effect: Consuming it will permanently increase your Spirit by 3 points, Strength by 1 point,
limit consumption of ten strands. Floating ability +1, Virus resistance +1.]
[Description: Giant Green Fly’s fur, stout and resilient even after withstanding hundreds of virus and bacterial threats.]
Looking at the malicious, slightly curved hair that was seven or eight centimeters in length that had appeared in his hand, Zheng Cheng’s mouth began to twitch involuntarily.
Can this thing really be eaten?
After continuing the dissection and spending half a day doing so, a large cluster of Giant Green Fly fur appeared in Zheng Cheng’s spatial ring, looking like a furball.
“My Lord!”
Beck quickly flew over and shouted, “Our scouts have reported a large swarm of giant fly beasts attacking from the front!”
“How many?”
“Countless, they’re all over!”
Zheng Cheng looked up, the thick darkness in the distance beginning to churn once again.
He reached out, and the furball from his spatial ring appeared in his hand and he tossed it to Beck.
“Distribute these things to the magic brigade. This big fight depends on you guys.”
Beck, now a hero, could see the properties of this fur, and nodded with a shocked expression, “Yes, my Lord!”
He divided the giant green fly fur among the other magicians, and he also reluctantly ate ten strands.
However, his eyebrows quickly relaxed. Ten strands of fur brought him an increase of thirty points in Spirit and ten in Strength.
This power was tremendous!
“Buzzzzzz…”
The dark fog in the distance began to churn once again.
Through the fog, one could vaguely see numerous large giant flies fluttering!
All of the soldiers were in combat formation, awaiting the giant flies’ charge.
Meanwhile, the magician brigade at the rear of the formation began to chant arcane and incomprehensible spells in unison.
“Buzzzzzz~!”
As the first giant fly came into view, a shower of flames fell from the sky once again.
Firewall Technique!
Firewall Technique!
Firewall Technique!
In the face of such large-scale warfare, the Firewall Technique is undoubtedly a powerful weapon!
The wall of fire, seven to eight meters tall, burned fiercely, with hot flames dancing about.
At this moment, another group of magicians made their move.
Hurricane Spell!
Hurricane Spell!
Hurricane Spell!
The fire drew power from the wind, sweeping it up in a blaze, which caused the height of the Firewall to surge another three or four meters.
Yet, even with this height, it was still unable to reach the giant flies.
Then, a third group of magicians made their move.
They aimed their wands at the ground.
“Rumble…”
The ground that had been burning with fire suddenly began to shake, and walls of earth sprang up.
Earth Wall Spell!
The walls of earth, engulfed in flames, rose from the ground, and promptly ensnared the emerging giant flies, triggering a massive fire.
From the distant dark fog, yet another tremor was heard, and this time, an array of plump, retrogressive-winged giant flies burst forth.
They had six robust, jointed legs, and charged forcefully forward like a fleet of aggressive tanks.
Zhang San’s face changed, they had never come across this type of beast before.
However, he quickly regained his composure and hollered, “Earth Dragon Cavalry, charge with me!”
“Charge!”
“Charge!”
Four hundred Earth Dragon riders immediately followed Zhang San’s lead and charged at these strange giant flies.
The two sides quickly clashed, throwing each other into disarray, cries of battle and screams resonated incessantly.
“Die!”
Zhang San roared, his long knife streaking a ray of light, as it slashed the giant fly in front of him right down the middle.
Twisting his body, he stepped onto the corpse of the giant fly and soared into the air, landing amidst the swarm of giant flies, slashing at all around him.
“Boom…”
Suddenly, an explosion echoed from the sky, he instinctively looked up.
The once obscured skies turned abruptly darker, and one after another, large greenish-black fireballs fell from the sky, brutally crashing into the swarm of giant flies within the black fog.
Smashing countless giant flies into mush, the greenish-black flames burst open violently, incinerating any surrounding alien beasts.
Simultaneously, giant figures approximately ten meters tall, comprised of boulders and engulfed in green-black flames, began to rise from within the swarm of giant flies.
With every step they took, several giant flies were crushed into mush.
Behind the magician brigade, Beck Roland’s golden hair was ablaze, his magic book emanating a dense green light.
Summon Hellfire!
Boom!!!
