Chapter 688: Puppet

Chapter 689 Puppet

Facing the soldier insects, everyone was on high alert.

But to Zhou Qing's surprise, after the soldier insects arrived, they did not attack directly, but circled around them and wrapped them up.

"What's the purpose?" Dugu Bo sneered, "You keep shrinking the space, are you trying to suffocate us to death?"

"The surrounding heaven and earth energy surged in a certain order." Zhou Qing was shocked when he noticed this, "Is this a soul skill created by utilizing the energy of heaven and earth?!"

really!

His guess was correct, the Zerg Kingdom was a man-made design, not a real natural species!

"Do you want to attack?" Dugu Bo's soul power surged.

"No need for now."

Zhou Qing stopped Dugu Bo, Atarja who wanted to swing the sword of time, and Li Ke who put the white flute to her lips. "This kind of fluctuation is similar to the spatial fluctuation of the storage soul guide, but it has fluidity. Maybe it wants to teleport us somewhere."

"Teleport? The Zerg has this ability!"

Romantina was surprised and used her mental detection ability - if used in a small range and not covering the entire Zerg kingdom, she would not suffer backlash.

[It is indeed a teleportation-type spatial ability. ]

The mental group chat established with the help of Na Si's newsletter ability was opened, and the voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded in the minds of Romantina and Zhou Qing at the same time.

"Where will we be teleported to?" Dugu Bo was a little worried. If they were teleported to an environment that was not conducive to their combat, they would be extremely passive.

"It should be somewhere in the Zerg Kingdom." Zhou Qing carefully sensed it and found that the spatial fluctuations had a certain vibration frequency with the Zerg Kingdom's aura, and made a corresponding judgment, "For now, we will not move. This ability similar to that of soul beasts can be used, which proves that there are definitely intelligent individuals behind the Zerg."

"You mean, you want to take us to see the mastermind?"

Dugu Bo gathered his soul power and smiled coldly, "That's great. I want to see what kind of person dares to play tricks like this!"

As the surrounding space emitted a faint light, Zhou Qing and the others realized that they had moved to another place, and the soldier insects surrounding them also scattered.

When they saw the huge queen insect, they immediately realized that they were teleported to the core area.

Besides them, there were other humans and mutants at the scene, but they looked much more miserable, with weak breath and injuries on their bodies. It was obvious that they ended up like this because they resisted the Zerg's attack.

After seeing two soldier insects bringing Taros, whose forehead was bleeding and whose limbs were weak, Dugu Bo laughed: "It seems that we are the only ones who have the privilege of being 'teleported'. The others were defeated and dragged here by the insect swarm."

"That Taros is an alien form, and it has maintained a complete human form and wisdom. Its strength is at least that of a Soul Sage." Zhou Qing was sure that if there were not a god-level existence like Atarja among the seven of them, even Dugu Bo would have been consumed by the Zerg swarm tactics. With the powerful adaptability of the Zerg swarm, they might even be able to develop an antidote that ignores Dugu Bo's Green Phosphorus Dragon poison, or even come up with a response plan for all of Dugu Bo's abilities.

[The outside population of the insect swarm has all arrived! 】

A dull voice came from the queen insect.

"The queen insect is more than just a breeding machine!" said the bunny girl.

"Not the queen."

Zhou Qing looked up.

Above the queen insect, orange-yellow lines lit up, and the faint light reflected its huge shape.

It turned out to be a monster that looked like a brain!

The monster had no limbs, and its body, which looked like a brain, rose and fell like a heart, beating slowly. Tentacles were coiled around its body, and below the brain, a round figure was bound by tentacles, and several tentacles even pierced into the back of its head.

That person—"Tayis?"

Riko called out the name of the bound person.

In an instant, everyone thought of Taros and Tais's plan to control the insect swarm. In the current situation, was it a success or a failure?

But if it succeeded, why would they beat Taros into this state?

Does Tai want to monopolize the entire Zerg Kingdom?

"The person who is speaking may not be Taisi, he is just using Taisi's voice." Zhou Qing's eyes were always on that "brain".

In terms of size alone, this "brain" is seventy meters high, sixty meters wide, and over fifty meters thick, making it impossible for Tais to control it.

"You mean, Taisi has become a puppet?" The bunny girl looked at Taisi, whose eyes were white and pupils were missing, and had to admit that the fat guy was very likely to have lost his self-awareness.

"Is this brain-like monster the mastermind behind this? Why didn't we see it before we came here?" Liko was a little confused.

Let’s just assume that the monster didn’t glow before, but with such a large size, it should have been noticed by them, right?

Could it be transmitted from somewhere else?

“Maybe it suddenly grew up in these three days.”

Zhou Qing thought of a possibility.

If what Taros said was true, and the queen insect only took sixteen years to grow to a size of about a kilometer, then this brain-like monster was very likely to have grown to such a size and scale within three days.

[Many of you have lived in the Zerg for more than a thousand years, and are very surprised by the current situation, and are also quite curious about "me".]

The brain-like monster spoke through Tais's mouth.

【I am the swarm.】

"It's just as you imagined, Zhou Qing, there are intelligent individuals among the insect swarm!" Romantina looked at the strange brain worm. At the same time, she sensed that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor in the sea of ​​​​spirituality were trying their best to hide their existence at this moment, for fear of being discovered. Her eyes were extremely solemn, and she turned a blind eye to Taisi who was tied up and "played" by the tentacles.

This guy!

Extremely dangerous!

[I am also the protection mechanism of the insect swarm. When there is an existence that infringes upon the interests of the insect swarm... For example, when someone steals insect eggs and wants to control the insect swarm, the pheromones inside the insect swarm will become disordered. When the disorder reaches a certain level, the emergency mechanism of the insect swarm will react and hatch——]

【I. 】

The brain worm quietly narrated all this through Tais's mouth.

The word "pheromone" is no longer Zhou Qing's personal definition, but the "official term" of the Zerg.

[I am both the independent consciousness of an individual and the embodiment of the collective thinking of the entire insect swarm. I am us, and we are me.]

"What's your purpose?"

Taros looked up and questioned her former sister, now the "mouth substitute" of the brain worm, with hatred in her eyes.

[Fuse your genetic genes, integrate your thoughts and souls, and let you become us! ]

Taisi spoke in a high-pitched voice.

moment!

The expressions of everyone present changed——
