Chapter 164: Killing Concept, Origin of Spinal Worms, Solution

After being reborn again, Shen Jie found that his body had become increasingly bleak.

But the horrifying scene he saw last time before he died is still deeply etched in his mind and cannot be forgotten.

"King Spine Worm!?"

"What a powerful killing concept..."

Shen Jie muttered to himself, looking up at the towering volcano in the distance, with thick gray and black smoke erupting continuously.

Although the timeline has restarted at this moment, the terrifying high-level king spine worm still exists.

Enduring the burning and tearing pain that remained in his chest, Shen Jie stood up and walked towards the dome of the Black Spine Nest where he could hide, while thinking about the scene in his mind when the King Spine appeared...

The four words "murderous artistic conception" are infiltrated from that picture.

Shen Jie didn't know where this came from or why, but at that moment, the honorific name of the high-level king spine insect and the aura it released were deeply engraved in his mind.

Perhaps this is some kind of inheritance from the Zerg.

It comes from the other half of spineworm genes in the body.

But none of this matters anymore.

The most critical thing at the moment is how to safely climb the crater and at the same time have the strength to challenge the king spine worm.

This may be the only way out of the situation.

At the right time, Shen Jie left the volcanic stone area and returned to the battlefield where the black spine worms broke out and licked the "leftovers".

And in this life, he will go one step further than last time.

…………

In the real world, Lin Feng raised his tiger-tooth chain sword that had been upgraded to level 29, and his eyes suddenly turned to the hole behind him.

From the wormhole deep into the ground, a beautiful woman slowly appeared.

The locust sat on the red beetle, emerged from the hole, and appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing that the other party can really control insects, the last trace of doubt in the hearts of the soldiers was dispelled.

When he saw the scene in the community at this moment, he frowned slightly.

Lin Feng sat near a black and yellow insect cocoon, with a circle of people lying nearby, leaning on the eggs that had been squeezed out by the gourd.

There is also a group of soldiers standing outside to watch...

Like some kind of mysterious sacrificial ceremony.

Zhiyi immediately came to Lin Feng:

"So anxious? You want them to awaken on the spot and put them in such a special posture. Is this a certain belief tradition of you people, your awakened people? Can it increase the success rate of awakening?"

Lin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth, and then pointed to the cocoon beside Shen Jie:

"How is it possible...it's just some unexpected discovery:"

"When they gather around Shen Jie to initiate the second awakening, their consciousness will be drawn into the artistic conception that Shen Jie experienced, and by killing the tiger spine insects, they can enhance their spiritual strength."

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed across Zhiyi's face:

"It seems that you humans are indeed somewhat special, especially mentally. Your sophisticated brain has many incredible functions and effects."

As he spoke, he walked further towards the black and yellow cocoon, raised his hand to touch its surface, narrowed his eyes slightly and continued:

"The world of artistic conception is actually very dangerous, especially among the Zerg, regarding the artistic conception inheritance of spine worms."

"For the awakened people who entered it before, after their consciousness died inside, did anything happen in reality?"

Lin Feng shook his head:

"No, except that my brain is dizzy..."

At this time, Chi Yi also confirmed through induction that Shen Jie was constantly emitting artistic conception energy. Although it was very weak, it was not enough to affect the awakened people...

But it can have interactive reactions with awakened people who are in a state of awakening and are confused:

"As a reminder, Shen Jie's mental state is getting worse and worse. If he fails to break free in the end, the best outcome is to fall into eternal sleep..."

"But if he fails to understand the artistic conception of the spine worm, or is controlled by the artistic conception and completely degenerates into a spine worm, then the artistic conception will eventually descend on his body and use it as a medium to pollute the real world."

"That is to say, all the creatures in this city will become slaves of artistic conception. First, the body will gradually distort into the characteristics of the Zerg, and secondly, the mental impact will be affected."

Lin Feng was stunned and stared at the woman:

"Is it really that dangerous?"

The cockroach nodded and hummed softly:

"In fact, it's not that dangerous, but you humans are special. Your brains are highly developed, so you can accommodate the arrival and release of artistic conception..."

"Especially the genetic warriors who have assimilated Zerg genes, such as Shen Jie, have broken through the last barrier to the advent of artistic conception. If not controlled, they will be like a walking time bomb..."

After hearing Zhiyi's explanation, Lin Feng muttered:

"It's so dangerous, and you still want to use it to harvest infinite spiritual wool..."

However, Zhiyi rolled his eyes at him and continued:

"Stop dreaming. You can accidentally enter it only when you transcend the evolutionary stage and the spiritual power of the organism produces a qualitative leap."

"Furthermore, Ping Baiduo's spiritual power is not obtained from the artistic conception, but is excavated and transformed from within their own bodies. In other words, when these awakened ones have killed tiger spine insects in the artistic conception, the artistic conception Then it became parasitic on them.”

"This will make them more susceptible to mental contamination. When it is applied to the body, the probability of being assimilated by Zerg genes will also be greatly increased..."

Speaking of this, Zhiyi suddenly remembered something:

"Yes, in this case, they will be more suitable to be cultivated into genetic warriors and achieve your ultimate goal."

Lin Feng smiled slightly, these had actually been in his plan for a long time.

In this way, no matter how many drawbacks and dangers there are in releasing this artistic conception, it still has great value.

Zhiyi put down his hand and squinted his eyes, thinking about something:

"In fact, regardless of the pollution caused by the arrival of artistic conception, this thing is indeed very useful in the early stage..."

When the two of them said this, this group of soldiers who were undergoing the second-level awakening had already woken up one after another.

But they brought back different news:

"Shen Jie did not fall into madness. Instead, he was in good spirits and reminded us that after killing the tiger spine worm, we must leave the dreamland as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we stay too long, we will be directly assimilated by that weird spiritual world..."

Lin Feng frowned slightly, and Chiyi added:

"Yes, if you enter the world of artistic conception in person, you will be polluted by the environment if you stay for too long. For example, if you ingest the substances inside, although they are virtual energy bodies in the artistic conception, they can still distort reality!"

"For example, if some of them stay for too long and exceed the limit of their own mental strength, then the pollution will be inevitable, and the feedback to the real world will be the twisted limbs after awakening. Especially here, where insect corpses are everywhere, it is very likely to directly Deformed into a monster mixed with humans and insects..."

Hearing what Zhiyi said, the newly arrived second-level awakeners all showed frightened expressions, and stretched out their hands to touch around in fear, fearing that they would grow additional abnormal tissue.

Fortunately, everyone didn't stay long, and this time Captain Shen Jie seemed to be waiting for them. After the two sides exchanged information, Shen Jie went out of his way to help them complete the need to kill the tiger spine worm.

After checking with lingering fear, everyone continued:

"Captain Shen Jie mentioned the other high-level worms there. He said they were called king spine worms. They should be the evolved version of the second-order tiger spine worms and are very powerful."

"Also, he said that as long as you get close to the king spine worm, you will be affected by a certain kind of spiritual energy. He calls it the killing mood."

"In fact, the low-level spine worms living nearby, including the second-level tiger spine worms, have their artistic conceptions intentionally or unintentionally affected by them, and thus fall into endless disputes and battles..."

"If we stay too long, we will lose ourselves and become a monster that only knows how to fight."

Speaking of this, the old captain in the lead smiled bitterly:

"But we don't know that the changes in the dream can affect reality. It's really weird..."

Lin Feng kept frowning:

"Any more?"

The old captain lowered his head and thought about it carefully:

"Oh, by the way, I was the last one to leave. Before I left, Captain Shen Jie told me that he was going to challenge that high-level Zerg. Perhaps only by killing it could he escape from this weird spiritual world..."

Lin Feng hummed and waved:

"Take the team members to rest. I just checked and you are all fine. Except for a slight increase in mental attributes, there are no negative effects."

After hearing the sergeant chief's affirmation, everyone's hearts were slightly relieved.

When the newly promoted second-level team members were evacuated one after another, and the next batch was still preparing for awakening under the command of Liu Yi, Lin Feng turned around and looked at Chi Yi behind him.

The other party's expression has become very unnatural.

This was the first time that Lin Feng saw such a pale and twisted expression on Xie Yi's face.

The worry in his eyes was even more tinged with panic.

As the mother queen of the Zerg race, she would have such complex emotional changes. It must be that the so-called high-level king spine worm and the artistic conception of killing must not be simple.

Sensing Lin Feng's questioning look, Chiyi swallowed and whispered back:

"Kingspine worm, high-level kingspine worm, the most powerful war machine of the Zerg tribe..."

Then, let’s talk about the origin of spinal worms in detail:

"Spine is the sixth planet in the galaxy where the Zerg originated. It has an extremely harsh environment. The crustal movement there, accompanied by volcanic eruptions, has lasted for billions of years..."

"The spine worm was born from this barren planet, which is the world of artistic conception where Shen Jie is at this moment."

"But his luck is very bad. The fourth-level Spine King has multiple artistic conceptions, but he happened to be connected to the killing."

Lin Feng was a little surprised:

"Why? Isn't it good to kill? It sounds very powerful. If Shen Jie can master it, he might be able to kill the Zerg Mother Queen in the real world..."

Chi Yi sighed:

"That's right, if he can really master the concept of killing, and cooperate with his superpowers and weapons and equipment, it will be easy to kill the low-level Queen Mother."

"But the problem is that the challenge and difficulty of mastering the artistic conception are closely related to its own strength."

"This means that in the world of artistic conception he is in, every king spine insect will have the artistic conception of killing. Do you think he, a product of a mixture of humans and insects, is capable of killing him?"

"Unless he completely turns into an insect, occupies an active volcano with no other king spine insects, hibernates for thousands of years, naturally transforms into a high-level insect race step by step, and then naturally obtains the killing intention from the environment..."

"This is the promotion method for most tiger spine insects..."

"But he is a human being. If he really does this, even if he finally wakes up, he will turn into a real bug, and he will still be a source of pollution with a murderous aura all over his body."

"By the way, the king spine insect lives in volcanoes and can withstand high temperatures of thousands of degrees. Your artillery is like scratching an itch for it."

"Unless you humans use your last resort, a direct hit from a nuclear weapon, you can completely kill it."

"So you should have roughly understood why I reminded you to make full preparations before deciding to kill the Queen Mother. Otherwise, once the third-order king spinal worm is born, it will be sent to the human-insect battlefield..."

After listening to Ling Yi's explanation, Lin Feng's expression became more solemn, and he couldn't help but hold the tiger-toothed chain saw sword in his hand more tightly.

"Is there no other way? Can we only put all our hopes on Shen Jie staying awake?"

"If I send more awakened team members to go in at the same time, can I help him defeat the tiger spine worm?"

Ling Yi looked at the next batch of soldiers coming, cut the second-level insect eggs, and drank the organic nutrient solution in them. Even after they completed the awakening, their strength would only reach the early second level, and it would be difficult to deal with ordinary tiger spine worms...

So he shook his head and stretched out two fingers:

"It's useless. They are too weak. They can't even climb an active volcano."

"There are only two options now."

"Option 1: Continue to send people to awaken with insect eggs, find Shen Jie in the artistic conception world, confirm his mental state, and ensure that he has not become a worm. When the last batch of soldiers under your command are used up, he has not broken free, then we can only evacuate and put "Otherwise, whether you take it away or leave it here, it will become a disaster." "Especially if the Zerg Queen gets it. You definitely don't want to face a group of warrior hunters who master the killing state of mind in the near future, and they will be surrounded and attacked, right?" "Plan 2 is that you and I will go in together to help Shen Jie and overcome the difficulties together..." "I will activate the state of mind and invade it, but the price is that there is only one chance." "When the two states of mind touch, they will erode the stable structure. If it fails, Shen Jie will die directly, and the state of mind will naturally disappear..." "If you are sure to defeat the third-level king spine worm, mainly to break their solid defensive armor, then I can help you resist the mental influence of clearing the state of mind and be able to freely exert your full strength." Lin Feng stared at Ling Yi, his eyes narrowed. Plan 1 Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not give up this great opportunity. But if he chose option 2, not to mention the risks involved, he and Lingyi would both lose their mobility at the same time. If something unexpected happened in reality, who would guarantee the safety of his body?

As for entering the realm of mind and challenging the third-order king spinal worm, Lin Feng was naturally very interested. He looked at the lv29 tiger tooth chain saw sword in his hand.

In order to upgrade it to the maximum level, Lin Feng did not hesitate to consume the energy of the upgrade stored once:

"Tiger Tooth Chain Saw Sword lv29/29, orange quality"

"Durability: 10/10, basic damage 900"

"Additional attributes: Extreme Cutting (rotates the sawtooth five times per second, causing five times the basic damage, upgraded to infinite endurance mode)

Bloodthirster (each time a second-level Zerg is killed, in addition to obtaining upgrade points, a little durability can be restored)

Undying Skull Crusher (if the defense value of the target is lower than the basic damage, the durability will not be reduced. If the defense value of the target is higher than the basic damage but not higher than the extreme cutting damage per second, the durability consumption rate will be reduced by 90%. If the kill is completed by chopping the head, the damaged durability will be automatically restored)"

"Note: Basic damage, with the chain saw The durability of the sword is reduced.

"Note: The host has reached lv29. The energy of the two upgrades has been stored in the gene radiation skill for backup."

"Gene radiation (upgrade energy reserve times: 4)"

"Currently available free upgrade times: 9, note: This upgrade cannot have an effect on cross-level upgrades."

"LV29 Tiger Tooth Chain Saw Sword Cross-level Upgrade Condition: Kill a third-stage life form."

With a basic damage of up to 900, plus the number of times the gene radiation is used four times, if the tiger tooth chain saw sword can be brought into the artistic conception...

Activate the extreme cutting attribute, five times the damage per second, which is 4500 points. With such a high attack power, unless the defense of the third-level king spine worm can reach more than 4,000.

From the two groups of soldiers who have entered the artistic conception world and returned, they brought the red black armor and shotguns they carried with them.

With the tiger tooth chain saw sword in hand, Lin Feng is confident that he can cooperate with Shen Jie and Ling Yi to challenge the king spine worm.

But the only concern at the moment is the safety issue in reality...

Just when the third batch of soldiers had entered the scene and were about to embark on the fantasy experience of the second awakening, and Lin Feng was still hesitant...

Outside the city in the distance, there was a sudden sound of fierce artillery fire!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lin Feng's face lit up and he stood up immediately.

Because it was the familiar explosion sound of the shotgun!

"I'll go to support, you help look after it here."

Leaving behind a word, Lin Feng immediately turned into a shadow and disappeared into the sky.
