The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The reason why Leo thinks that the giant worms he saw in the restricted area of ​​the Holy Seal is related to the Steele worm from the abyss is mainly because the two have many similarities in appearance, and the positions of these similarities are almost the same. is at the location of the biometric feature.

You must know that biological characteristics are basically equivalent to blood relationship characteristics. No matter how different the appearance of other parts of two creatures with similar biological characteristics is, how big the gap is, they will more or less have blood relationship between them.

Just like the Steele worm is much smaller than the giant worm, and has sixteen pairs of legs. It looks more like a giant centipede, but the shape of its eyes and mouthparts, the patterns on its wings, and the shape of its tentacles on its head, etc. They are all exactly the same as the giant worms in the restricted area. It is almost certain that the two must have a blood relationship in the ethnic group. It is very likely that the wandering Steele worms were reversely eroded by the natural force of this world and eventually mutated into The giant worm in the restricted area now.

However, even though the two have ethnic blood relations, the attack methods of the two have become different due to changes in form.

The Steele worms rushing out from the breach immediately sent a mental shock similar to group consciousness towards the heroic warriors and others in front of them. These centipede-like Steele worms were just the entire group of worms At the bottom of the insect worker class, the mental shock formed by a single insect demon can't even affect the spirit of ordinary humans, but once the number increases to a certain level, then all the insect workers can combine to produce a mental impact. pose a great threat.

Because they had no experience in fighting the Steele bugs, the heroic warriors standing at the forefront of the defensive formation were the first to bear the brunt of all the mental shocks. Watching countless insect demons cover them like a surge.

The other heroic warriors around noticed their anomaly immediately, and reacted quickly. They cooperated with each other and stepped forward to take over their positions. At the same time, they raised the energy shield in their hands. The energy wall emitting extremely high temperature was used from the energy shield, and collided with the rushing insect demon.

In an instant, the screams of the worms before they died resounded throughout the space, and even a large number of worms were burned to charcoal by the energy shield before they could utter their screams.

Such a powerful high-heat energy shield is naturally accompanied by high-power energy output. The energy output of a miniaturized nuclear fusion reactor cannot maintain such a high-power energy output for a long time. The heroic warriors are also very aware of the defects of their equipment, so Almost pinching time, when the output of the nuclear fusion reactor reached its limit, the high-temperature energy shield was withdrawn, and only the lowest power protection energy was maintained, while quickly retreating back into the defensive formation.

At the same time, another group of heroic warriors who were ready to go quickly filled the holes in the formation and continued to block the impact of a large number of insect workers. The retired heroic warriors each took out a can of coolant from their pockets and inserted it into the special arm. On the interface, inject coolant into the armor to quickly cool down the high temperature caused by the high-power energy output just now.

In this way, groups of heroic warriors, with near-perfect cooperation, blocked the worms pouring out of the warehouse breach, and the charred corpses of countless worms piled up on the ground, turning into a massacre. Block the corpse defense wall, so that the heroic warriors can better block the attacking insects.

"Is that so?" Seeing that he seemed to have the upper hand, the one-eyed Wu Ni muttered in disdain.

Leo looked at the other party, and said in a flat tone: "These are just the lowest-level bug workers of Steele, and there are six levels above the bug workers, and the evolution of each level will double the power. And it will automatically generate very powerful extraordinary abilities. Based on the current situation of the worm nest in the base, there are at least level 4 swarm lords here. The power it possesses is only stronger than yours, and it also has the wisdom of a primary master brain. , can make the insect demon form a legion offensive, and now these insect workers are only sent by it to test, and the insect soldiers and war insects that are the main attack force have not yet appeared."

Hearing Leo's words, the one-eyed Wu Ni also put away the disdain on his face, and returned to a serious look, at the same time as if he was talking to himself, and as if reminding his heroic warriors, and at the same time as if he was saying something. Ask Leo General, and said: "Are these insect workers testing our combat power? As long as we reveal a little bit of flaws, their real attacking main force will give us a fatal blow."

Hearing the words of the one-eyed Wu Ni, the heroic warriors who thought that these abyssal monsters were nothing more than Wu Ni immediately put away their contemptuous thoughts, and focused on the approaching insect swarm one by one, not letting any insect worker pass by. their defense.

Leo looked at the one-eyed man and said, "You misunderstood, these insect workers are not used to test you, but to test the base. The swarm lords in the base want to know about the people who surrounded the base before." Does the layer of life energy field still exist? The reason why they are trapped here is not because of the metal plates of the base, but because of that layer of life energy field, so if they want to leave here, they don’t need to leave here, as long as Make sure that there is no life energy field, they can leave from any direction of the base, and you guarding here will not be able to prevent the invasion of these insect demons. As for the life energy field, you have already destroyed it just now. "

Just when Leo's voice fell, a piercing scream came from the base, all the bug workers stopped their frantic impact, and then retreated back into the base from the breach like a tide, and the surroundings quickly quieted down. One could only faintly hear the rustling sound of the swarm moving around from the opening in front, and gradually weakened, as for the hissing of other worm demons, they could not be heard at all.

"Damn it!" The one-eyed man Wu Ni picked up his weapon without hesitation and rushed into the base from the opening of the warehouse. Although his guards didn't understand what the one-eyed man was thinking, they still followed instinctively. Going up, the other heroic warriors who had just ended a war stood there in a daze. When the news came out, they immediately took action and entered the base in an offensive and defensive formation of three.

Apparently, Leo's reminder has made the one-eyed Wuni realize that it is impossible to stop the Steele bug from rushing out of the base if he continues to stay here. Go to the base and deal with the swarm lord directly, because he has heard from Leo's previous introduction to the Steele bug demon that only the swarm lord has wisdom and can control the entire swarm. Once the swarm lord is dead , then the insect demon group in the base will lose control, leaving only the instinct to kill each other.

Mimidor let out a long breath, and the sound of his exhalation became particularly eye-catching in the empty and silent environment around him.

Mimidor has not spoken since just now, holding his breath, watching the battle between the heroic warriors and the insect demons, obviously he has never seen such a battle, so that the charred corpses of the insect workers around The stench didn't make him recover from the shock.

It wasn't until now that both the warring parties had left that he came back to his senses, and asked Leo with a little excitement, "What should we do now? Are we going to follow?"

Seeing Mimidor with an excited expression on his face, Leo couldn't help but smiled. After spending several days with this Muniyom, he unexpectedly discovered that the other party was a militant. The battle just now and the situation before him Not only did the scene not frighten the Miaonyyom, but it excited him, and it seemed that he still had more to say.

Regarding Mimidor's proposal, Leo thought for a while, then nodded, and walked towards the base.

The reason why he planned to enter the base was not because he wanted to participate in the battle between the heroic warriors and the abyssal worms. In his opinion, the battle had already been concluded from the very beginning, because he was able to find those heroic warriors. There is a detonator on each nuclear fusion reactor backpack, which means that every heroic warrior will turn into a humanoid nuclear bomb if needed.

Although the nuclear bombs of the old earth era are no longer ranked among the various technologies and weapons of the universe after the civilization of the earth has entered the sequence of civilizations of the universe, their small-scale destructiveness on the ground is still considerable. The ground forces of the Earth Federation There will always be some thermonuclear bombs used for ground battles, but it is not known whether the nuclear bombs formed by such nuclear fusion reactors can match the lethality of thermonuclear bombs.

However, even if there is no nuclear bomb formed by the nuclear fusion reactor, those heroic warriors should be able to deal with these not yet fully formed Steele bugs with the cosmic civilization weapons and equipment modified on them, especially the mysterious one-eyed man Wu Ni , it shouldn't be difficult to kill a newly conceived swarm lord head-on.

That's right, the swarm lord of the Steele worm in the base was conceived from the worm nest just after the surrounding life energy field disappeared.

According to the normal situation, after the swarm lord is conceived, he will obtain the most basic knowledge of lords from other lords through the spiritual connection between the swarms, so as to complete the mastery of his lair and the surrounding swarm lairs .

But now these steele worms are not in the abyss. After the swarm lord is bred, there is nowhere to get the lord knowledge. The fear of the field also led it to make an order to drive the insect workers to the gap opened by the exploration team to test, instead of opening other gaps around the base at the first time, moving the insect nest away from here, and truly entering this world.

It was precisely because of this wrong decision that the worm workers who could move the worm nest lost a lot, and the worm nest could not be moved, which also gave these heroic warriors a chance to prevent the Steele worm from infecting the world.

If no other external force intervenes, the outcome of this conflict should be considered doomed, so there is no need for Leo to get involved in this doomed battle. The place he is going now is the test area of ​​the base, which is St. Er Bug Demon entered the starting point of this world.

When he used the totem pole scepter to cast shaman spells to scan the entire base before, Leo had already discovered where the Steele worms came to this world, because there are the largest number of abandoned worm nests in that area, which is enough There are as many as seven.

The Stil bug has a physiological characteristic. Once it enters a new environment or world, it will immediately degenerate into a pupa and then transform into a nest. This characteristic cannot be changed even by the swarm lord. Only the worm king or Only the mastermind-level Steele Worm has the ability to resist this characteristic from the origin of the blood.

As for the reason for having this characteristic is very simple, it is to multiply and expand the swarm, because only the worm nest can produce swarms. For the Steele worm, expanding the number of swarms produces higher-level worms Demons are the only way for them to invade and pollute other worlds.

Therefore, the worm nests that were first produced will reproduce a large number of worms regardless of the consequences in a short period of time, and the result of this is that the worm nests will be completely abandoned in a short period of time and become dead nests, and the area where the dead nests are located will also be destroyed. The swarm completely gave up and would not build new lairs around it, so after Leo discovered the situation in the test area in the base, he immediately judged that there should be seven Steele worms that entered this world at the beginning, and Judging from the size of the worm nest, these seven Steele worms are all worm lords.

It is also because of this discovery that Leo can be sure that these Steele bugs in the base should be a man-made disaster, not an accident.

Because the swarm lords of the Steele worms never appear in groups, they all have their own control areas, and once they encounter each other, they will often kill each other. It is absolutely impossible to coexist peacefully, let alone the seven swarms The lords live in peace together.

In addition, it is absolutely impossible for them to degenerate into worm nests. It is absolutely impossible for seven swarm lords to degenerate in the same place at the same time, because the worm nests need to absorb a lot of nutrients and energy from the surrounding area to produce worm monsters. One worm nest is enough to destroy the area. Sexual burden, the existence of seven insect nests at the same time is enough to turn the forest around the base into a barren desert, no matter how strong the natural force here is, it is not enough for seven insect nests to swallow.

Therefore, these seven insect nests were specially cultivated by the people at the base, and a large amount of energy and nutrients were prepared in advance. This can be judged from the fact that there are a lot of empty boxes in the warehouses around the insect nests. Obviously, those boxes Inside should be the nutrients and pure energy produced by the people at the base.

Leo was not interested in how the people at the base cultivated these Steele worms, what happened during the cultivation, why the base became a lair of worms, etc. The reason why he went to the test area was entirely because he was in A well-installed subspace engine generating device was found in the test area, which means that the people in this base should have used this device to open the subspace rift.
