Chapter 426: Chapter 321 Whale Worm and Water Tiger Scorpion Worm_2
The white giant worm resembled a jellyfish, approximately ten meters in size, but with hundreds of tentacles dancing about, it was four to five times the size of its body.
The tentacles were extremely soft and semi-transparent white in appearance, covered with small suckers and barbs, while the semi-circular body was protected by a hard white shell, generally composed of three flaps, which could open like flower petals to expose the soft tissue within.
Beneath the shell was the body of the Tentacled Insect Queen, with variably sized bug sacs embedded within, sanguine eyes scattered among the gaps in the sacs, and several pairs of eyes beneath the hard shell, watching in the darkness.
At the bottom of the shell was a beak-like mouthpart, sharp and huge, which when opened revealed numerous fine teeth, like sharp and precise gears.
Hiss, hiss.
Although it was newly born and not yet at its peak strength, the hissing Tentacled Insect Queen still emitted an aura of the Lower Tier of the Third Order, showing great power.
Su Han controlled the Mother Worm and issued a command to the Tentacled Insect Queen.
The Tentacled Insect Queen plunged straight into the water, then its tentacles quickly dived into the river, instantly stirring up the water and alarming the monsters within.
A fish monster covered in tumors, a pitch-black giant shrimp, a huddled mass of dark red creatures…
Almost immediately as the tentacles spread out, the monsters launched an attack on the intruder.
The Sanjiang River, wide enough to span hundreds of meters, hid numerous mutated monsters; this action had set off a chain reaction as hundreds of meters upstream turned instantly into a battlefield.
Su Han did not intervene, merely watching quietly.
The seemingly soft tentacles, upon detecting the monsters, immediately launched a ferocious attack.
Those soft tentacles transformed into sharp blades in an instant, piercing through the bodies of the monsters and completely entangling them, much like wrapping them in cocoons.
Neither the First Rank monsters nor the Second Order ones could escape the assault of these tentacles.
Hundreds of tentacles around the Tentacled Insect Queen crafted a dense net, trapping a large number of monsters with no chance of escape.
And these tentacles continued to proliferate rapidly, as those that had already ensnared monsters were devouring their prey at a high speed, converting them into energy to fuel the Tentacled Insect Queen’s body.
The newly-born Tentacled Insect Queen grew at a remarkable pace, rapidly becoming a twenty-meter behemoth, its body rising above the water’s surface.
Hiss, hiss.@@novelbin@@
The hissing sound was accompanied by a type of psychic fluctuation unique to the Zerg.
“Mother, my superior.”
Su Han was astonished by the message carried by this psychic fluctuation; undoubtedly, “Mother” referred to the Mother Worm, but did “my superior” refer to himself?
He quickly realized that the Tentacled Insect Queen’s intelligence was not low.
His heart leaped with joy: ‘If that’s the case, then I have a small-scale command and control unit.’
The Tentacled Insect Queen had brought Su Han quite a few surprises, and as its tentacles continued to extend, more monsters were captured by its net of tentacles and continually converted into its nutrients.
Its body size did not continue to grow, stabilizing at forty meters, but the tentacles kept multiplying and extending, digging into the riverbed, spreading upstream and downstream in Sanjiang for about two kilometers before stopping.
The Tentacled Insect Queen submerged to the riverbed, its massive body sticking closely to the bottom, and half buried, with its hard shell slightly open, revealing the flesh tissue and seven or eight bug sacs inside.
The central bug sac was the largest, with an irregular diameter of about five to six meters, filled with a liquid special Bug Quality, at the center of which was a pitch-black insect embryo, shaped like a swimming fish, complete with a shell.
Although just an embryo, it was already two meters long, incubating at a rapid pace.
The remaining smaller bug sacs were also incubating insects, albeit a different type, with emerald green shells all over, equipped with two pincer claws, eight pairs of flat, sharp limbs underneath, and a scorpion-like tail hook at the rear end.
“Whale Worm and Water Tiger Scorpion Worm, huh?”
Su Han’s eyes flickered slightly, recognizing these as new soldier types in the Mother Worm system, a Third Order Giant Worm unit, and First and Second Order mass combat units, rounding out his force, sparking a bit of curiosity in him.
‘Full-scale incubation’
The command passed from the Mother Worm to the Tentacled Insect Queen.
Upon receiving the command, all tentacles of the Tentacled Insect Queen ceased splitting and moving, just continuously devouring the already captured prey.
Then it transferred a massive amount of energy at an extremely high speed to the main body, supplying the insect embryos within the bug sacs.
This was a special method; sustaining this explosive soldier production could even shorten the Tentacled Insect Queen’s lifespan, normally the Zerg could not do this naturally.
But now was different, Su Han could not afford to wait half a day, even several days, for the Whale Worm to slowly develop.
As energy and nutrition continued to be supplied, half an hour passed and the Water Tiger Scorpion Worm matured first, emerging from their bug sacs and rushed into the water.
They moved swiftly, their tails, about sixty to seventy centimeters long, powerfully swaying, the flat limbs underneath rapidly propelling their bodies, speeding out faster than any fish in the river.
Seven dark shadows skimmed over the river surface, leaping forth, their emerald carapaces emitting a chill gleam, and hidden within their sharp mouthparts were stingers ready for attack.
What do you think?
