Chapter 766 The Kingdom of Insects
The continuously falling lightning killed the densely packed deformed insect monsters.
The flickering light makes the dark valley bottom as bright as day.
The roars one after another were obscured by the thunder and lightning that shattered the air.
Stepping on the cliff, Matthew's body leapt out, finding the next landing point, and easily crossed a distance of tens of meters.
From time to time, deformed insect monsters would change direction and pursue Matthew.
Although they couldn't withstand the flickering thunder and lightning, their dense numbers were frightening.
Matthew noticed that they could easily climb the rock wall, which increased the delivery of mana.
The galloping lightning becomes more powerful.
Pierce their bodies alive, break the charred holes in them, and attack the enemies further behind.
In a few breaths, hundreds of deformed insect monsters turned into corpses.
Densely packed corpses rolled down and piled up into hills on the edge of the valley.
"Ding, you kill the deformed insect monster and get 1300 points of destiny power."
"Ding, you activate mana drain and restore 55 mana points."
"Ding, you kill the deformed insect monster and get 120 points of destiny power."
"..."
The clear and melodious sound of the battle prompt made Matthew relax slightly.
These aberrant insect monsters may be powerful, numerous in number, or may have experienced a long and tortuous evolution and distortion.
However, no matter how many advantages they had, they could not be used in front of Matthew.
Because they don't have the demigod-level combat power to suppress Matthew!
Therefore, even if all kinds of deformed insect monsters continuously emerged from the cracks and holes everywhere, Matthew's killing speed never slowed down.
In fact, because their density increases, they become faster.
Matthew moved quickly and directly blocked the huge hole. The roaring deformed insect monsters rushed in one after another, and fell down in pieces.
Flickering thunder and lightning continued to fall, illuminating the interior space of the cave.
All kinds of unbearable smells quickly filled it.
Some larger aberration monsters were heading towards Matthew in a mighty manner.
For these deformed insect monsters, the threats and provocations brought by Matthew have naturally become their first choice of attack.
In addition to using the power of thunder, Matthew also released various spells.
He soon discovered that the magical defense capabilities of these deformed insect monsters were also constantly improving.
I don't know if they quickly undergo a distortion-like strengthening based on the death of their companions.
Or they already had combat units with very strong magic defense capabilities, but now they just mobilized them.
However, Matthew is not an ordinary spell caster. He is proficient in all spells and can continuously release various spells.
Very suitable for large-scale ground stabbing inside caves!
The Stinky Cloud Technique can cause devastating blows to enemies in a closed environment!
A dissociation technique that can directly destroy the armor of large enemies and cause internal damage to them.
A flame storm that can physically disinfect large-scale aberration insect swarms!
Various spells released light and heat to their heart's content, and under Matthew's command, they violently destroyed hundreds of swarms of aberrant insects.
The growing power of destiny made Matthew say "Smash it" with emotion.
"Sure enough, no matter how powerful a person's lethality is and how large his attack range is, the damage caused will ultimately be limited."
Matthew killed more than 10,000 deformed insect monsters in less than half an hour.
Such a powerful killing efficiency has definitely reached a very powerful level.
With his own strength, he robbed more than 9 million of the power of destiny.
However, the number of these aberrant insect monsters is still very large, and no reduction can be seen at all.
There were even a large number of deformed insect monsters that emerged from other parts of the valley, surrounded Matthew, and even launched long-range attacks.
Of course, they were completely unable to have any substantial impact on Matthew, who was wrapped in multiple layers of magic shields.
Most of them didn't even have time to launch an attack before they were wiped out by the area magic spread by Matthew's wave.
Boom!
The sound of explosions echoed in the valley one after another.
A protective array has been built, and a temporary defense base for the medium-sized Mystic Lock has been activated. The battle mages of the Gulf Territory are deploying elemental energy pools.
Many soldiers and Thunder Warriors were deeply shocked and excited by Matthew's powerful fighting power and the fierce battlefield below.
As a formal soldier in the Gulf Territory, basically everyone has received corresponding education and study.
Basically, they can see that the powerful destructive power displayed by the Lord can indeed last for a long time.
However, even a being like the Lord, who can release powerful magic with just a few gestures, still needs to rest.
Therefore, the work they do is very important and must be done meticulously.
Many Thunder Warriors looked intently and scanned their surroundings vigilantly, aware of any danger.
Compared with their vigilance, the Gulf Territory engineers, who also felt a little nervous and had been busy all the time, had to talk to relieve the pressure.
"I really didn't expect that there are so many dangers hidden in the Brave Continent. If the adventurers in the territory know about it, maybe they will be very happy."
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case. Although adventurers like to complete tasks, they also like the many rewards that tasks bring."
"Yes, the body parts of these deformed insect monsters need to undergo multiple processes before they can be produced."
"The development potential is not particularly high, at least not yet."
"That's what I say, but I believe the adventurers will be happy to come."
"After all, the resources here are quite abundant, and they will be very fruitful if they are developed."
"That's true, but our workload will be huge next time."
"The high-level protection fortress probably won't be able to withstand it. It needs at least a super-level protection arrangement."
"We still need to conduct more studies and experiments, and maybe we need to capture some prisoners..."
"I heard that the Vocational Training Institute will soon offer advanced courses. It will not only provide guidance to senior professionals, but also train other skills and knowledge."
"Let's practice hard and study hard, and maybe we can pass the teacher assessment exam..."
"Hey, if you can become a teacher, that would be a great thing."
"..."
The reason why they are able to discuss and relax while working is not only because they are highly skilled and extremely skilled in the entire process.
Also because of various golem machines, they are endowed with a certain degree of intelligence.
Matthew's full display of strength in the Brave Continent will naturally allow the Gulf Territory's hidden technologies to be further displayed on this continent.
Otherwise, Matthew would not have gone to such trouble to transport Mozi out of the mechanical demiplane and place him in the Brave City.
The development of mechanical intelligence can help the Gulf Territory, which has fewer manpower, make rapid progress in the Brave Continent.
The greatest wealth Matthew obtained from the Dinosaur Islands, apart from the 1 point of godhead, was the huge inheritance from the Goblin Empire.
Various biomodification technologies.
Thousands of years of accumulation of transformation samples and data.
As well as the legion puppet production technology that can further improve the combat effectiveness of the Gulf Territory's army.
There are so many of these technologies that it will take a long time to fully digest them first, and it also requires the cultivation and growth of many professional talents.
As for Matthew, who was extremely short of time, in addition to increasing his cultivation efforts and striving to lay a solid foundation, he naturally also had to master, research and build at the same time.
By building some samples and templates and truly grasping their productivity, it will be of great help to the current situation of the territory.
Subsequent research, learning and digestion can naturally achieve further speed with the support of existing conditions and templates.
Because of this, Matthew was merciless and spared no effort to quickly kill these bugs by himself.
He needs to save time.
It requires the power of destiny.
It is also necessary to occupy the mineral veins in the Gray Mountains and surrounding areas as soon as possible.
Only after laying out a territory that will not be disturbed or discovered by others can they quietly hibernate and quickly carry out production and explosive troops.
The situation in the Gulf Territory looks quite good, it has been expanding and developing.
However, Matthew could feel it very clearly.
The Year of Turbulence is approaching, the elemental tide is coming, and the kingdoms and forces in the northern continent are rapidly growing stronger.
Stress can cause suffering, but it can also encourage growth.
It can be seen from the orders for weapons, magic equipment, production lines, etc. sent from various places.
The successive dangers have hurt these organizations and forces, and also allowed some of their potential to be unleashed.
"The only pity is that the people here lack the spirit of resistance and have never thought about establishing themselves as kings and opening up new territories..."
Matthew was teasing like this, although it was just a joke.
The existence of extraordinary power, the blockade of all kinds of knowledge, the ubiquitous church, and the superior gods will firmly suppress the occurrence of this phenomenon.
If this is the case, the increase in the strength of other territories will actually have some benefits for the Gulf Territory.
The Gulf Territory can obtain more population and talents from them in exchange for various technologies and production equipment.
However, these are things that happen under normal circumstances.
However, there is the Elf Kingdom of Supreme Emperor Cole in the northern continent!
Other kingdoms and organizations are indeed constantly developing their own potential and striving to improve their strength under the pressure of various dangers.
But for the Cole elves, with the replenishment of materials and the replenishment of elemental energy.
Their originally hidden power can be released bit by bit.
They don't need to become stronger because they are already strong!
Moreover, they are so strong that they can reach the limit!
The increasing number of dragon warriors can indeed bring some pressure and threats to the Cole elves.
But if the other side takes action regardless, it will only lose more troops and people.
In their view, the Gulf Territory does need to be targeted, but it is still ranked behind the Netheril Empire.
Their arrangement in the Netheril Empire is about to come to fruition.
If they could take this big bite, they would be able to completely control the entire northern continent, and they wouldn't even have to be secretive anymore.
Matthew recalled the chaos of the gods and laughed coldly:
"I think it's quite beautiful, but unfortunately, there are too many people who want to be oriole."
"Time has been dragging on for so long, doing great things at the expense of one's own life, tsk tsk tsk..."
Boom!
The raging fire suddenly erupted, and the destructive flames fiercely tore apart the last dozens of distorted insect monsters that were burned to coke.
After an hour and a half of fierce fighting.
Matthew killed more than 28,000 deformed insect monsters and gained 25 million Destiny Power.
There are still 65 million left before the target.
Victory is already in sight.
There were so many of these deformed insect monsters that were killed. If these corpses had not been continuously teleported out by Matthew, the bottom of the entire valley would have been filled.
Some Gulf Territory staff had to build temporary production and processing lines to process these corpses quickly and in batches.
Not only can subsequent dangers and troubles be eliminated, but it can also be studied and analyzed.
If you can use it to invent some weapons and equipment, everyone can also get the first bonus from land reclamation and combat.
The preliminary defense facilities have been built, and a steady stream of Gulf Territory soldiers and Dragoon No. 1 Golems have arrived.
The Thunder Warriors, who no longer had any worries, followed Matthew's lead and went straight into the cave.
Compared with the cramped and narrow space outside, after entering the cave for tens of meters, Matthew and the Thunder Warriors came to a very spacious space.
Compared with the huge space of the underground world, although there are still some shortcomings.
But the flesh-and-blood tissues and buildings everywhere are more terrifying and twisted than the underground world.
Gray-brown flesh and blood tissue occupies nearly 1/4 of the surface.
They are like flesh-and-blood moss growing on the rocks, glowing slightly red.
They don't seem to be particularly active. Even if you step on them, they will only give people a slightly sunken soft feeling.
However, this slightly sunken feeling will give people a huge reminder.
They are all real "living creatures"!
When you are in their "body", you will feel the panic of being swallowed up at any time.
Regarding this, the Thunder Warriors are not too worried.
They followed Matthew's footsteps, turned on the stealth mode, and even floated slightly in the air, quietly infiltrating into the cave.
The further inside, the more area occupied by flesh and blood tissue.
Matthew guessed that the reason why they did not completely replace the rock structure with flesh and blood tissue was because they still needed these rock structures for support.
After all, it is difficult to reverse the flesh and blood tissue transformed into bones quickly and efficiently.
In addition to these flesh and blood carpets, Matthew also saw the insect nest used to produce deformed insect monsters.
They are huge, like a flesh and blood fortress.
The various pipelines that are constantly agitating are continuously transporting various substances.
All kinds of weird bugs are burrowing in and out of it, seemingly to keep it running.
Snap!
Snap!
Some giant eggs fell from it, and after breaking open, huge deformed insect monsters emerged.
Their "production" efficiency is very high, and they can produce hundreds of deformed bug monsters in just a few minutes.
These newly born aberrant insect monsters will directly eat the flesh and blood tissue on the ground, grow rapidly, and become mature.
Moreover, its maturity is targeted.
The demonic patterns on his body are becoming more and more complicated, and he obviously has very strong magic defense capabilities.
Their size has also become smaller, and their movement speed has been further improved.
As for the eaten flesh and blood tissues, they are rapidly recovering at an alarming rate, providing them with a steady stream of food.
The whole process is full of distortion and distortion, which makes people shudder at first glance.
However, Matthew had no intention of hiding his whereabouts. After watching the entire production process, he took action without hesitation.
Violent thunder and lightning, rushing fireballs.
The intertwined light and shadow of red and blue instantly destroyed the insect nest used for production.
Matthew's move immediately attracted swarms of insects.
A huge number of deformed insect monsters surged from everywhere, roaring and attacking.
They no longer can only run in vain like those deformed insect monsters before. Instead, they can spray various deadly stingers from a distance and skillfully launch long-range attacks.
Matthew no longer avoided them as before, but instead approached them at extremely fast speeds.
While using their bodies as cover, he attacked the insect monsters in the distance.
The huge number of insect monsters fell into passivity.
They cannot attack their own people, this is something engraved in their genes and consciousness.
Therefore, they could only watch as Matthew swam around, causing more and more killings.
What makes Matthew particularly interesting is that the bug monsters he kills quickly are quickly decomposed and absorbed by seemingly harmless flesh and blood tissue.
Needless to say, these flesh and blood tissues must serve as recycling tools to help maximize resource utilization.
Such a terrifying enemy is definitely a nightmare for most intelligent creatures.
With such a steady stream of consumption, according to Matthew's guess, only mechanical legions controlled by ancient evils like the Spark of Sin can compete with them.
Both sides can also engage in large-scale attrition wars, if they are rich in resources and can quickly transform and strengthen according to changes in the enemy.
Both sides are expected to grow rapidly in the battle of wits and courage between you and me.
Of course, Matthew would not give them such a good opportunity to grow, nor would he allow such unstable factors to continue to expand.
Taking advantage of himself to attract a large number of deformed insect monsters, he immediately issued new combat orders to the Thunder Warriors.
"Go deep into it and find the rest of the lairs."
The Thunder Warriors obeyed the order and soon sent back a large number of various messages.
Along the way, they discovered no less than 300,000 aberrant insect monsters, forty or fifty nests of aberrant insect monsters, and also discovered some different types of aberrant insect monsters.
A huge heavy beetle monster.
A small but capable flying bee.
A burrowing bug monster with excellent digging ability.
A mantis monster that can become invisible.
Cerebrates that perform vermin command and control.
Such a huge number and variety of various kinds of aberrant insect monsters have almost formed a very terrifying and astonishing kingdom of insect swarms.
For such an opponent who poses a huge threat and has great potential.
Matthew's idea is simple, that is, to sweep it away.
He continued to attack the inside of the passage, killing batches of deformed insect monsters and attracting more combat troops.
The icy wind blew over, and Matthew's eyes showed a little bit of coldness.
The surging and violent elemental power obeyed his will and continuously transformed into various destructive spells.
Lacking powerful enough threatening combat units, ordinary high-level deformed insect monsters were completely unable to stop Matthew's advance.
Presumably in the mind of the aberrant monster brainworm, Matthew should have already exhausted his strength, withered his magic power, and lost any combat effectiveness.
However, not only was Matthew not exhausted, but he became more courageous as he fought, heading straight towards his core area.
Thousands of insect monsters fell down, and they soon "reappeared" on the battlefield.
It seems endless and never-ending.
Matthew was even more delighted and happy about this situation. The reason was naturally very simple.
These endless insect monsters can continuously provide soul power.
This means that this area has the potential to become a monster spawn point.
There is a chance here, like the Titan Graveyard controlled by Guilty Spark, to become a spawning point in the bay to continuously obtain technology, mechanical debris, soul power and various benefits.
Adventurers and warriors in the bay who are more powerful can also obtain sufficient resources and practical experience from such monster refresh points.
Moreover, compared to the real battlefield, which is very dangerous, uncontrollable, and the cost of victory or defeat is quite high.
These "monster spawning points" transformed by the Gulf Territory can basically eliminate most side effects and maximize the strengthening effect.
Matthew was very happy and his attacks became even more ruthless.
He spent an hour and a half, withstanding the attack of the insect monster swarm, and reached deep into the core of the area.
In the process, he killed more than 50,000 insect monsters.
The continuous flow of destiny power and kill prompts represent Matthew's continuous accumulation and is about to reach a new height.
His eyes flashed with blue flames, and the light of the arcane fire spread out, continuously purifying the dangers and distortions that may exist in the body.
The Thunder Warriors who received the order have also completed exploring the passage conditions in this area.
They have made various arrangements and are waiting for Matthew to issue the general combat order.
Matthew looked at thousands of flesh nests from a distance, and at some of the new insect monsters that were deliberately created.
A unique aura emanated from his body.
The spreading arcane fire not only enveloped Matthew's whole body, but also enveloped the thunder magic armor.
All the elemental power in the entire area began to be "attracted" to Matthew.
Under Matthew's control, they gradually turned into a large net that emitted a blur of light.
Moreover, this big net is becoming more and more transparent.
With Matthew as the center, prepare to cover all surrounding areas.
At this moment, a shrill roar came from the center of the flesh-and-blood building in the distance.
Matthew looked at their familiar figures, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said softly in a faint tone:
"It turns out that the source of the Hive Tyrant really comes from here!"
