Chapter Ninety-Three: Upheaval on Skull Island
Ma Le was still immersed in the joy of evolution, and suddenly, from the direction of the center of the island came a continuous huge roar, like the roar of ten thousand beasts, shaking the heavens and the earth, the sound was manic, uneasy, angry, and even a little sad.
Ma Le knew that it must be the sound of the bugs, and the queen's memory told him that the bugs had built a nest in the middle of the island, intending to settle down there and breed. During this period, the bottom of the center of Duhuàn will be the most densely populated and dangerous place on the island.
As the leader, the insect monster queen relies on mental power to control a unique band of insect monsters to communicate with thousands of insects and insects, which makes every insect feel the queen's breath anytime and anywhere. And now that the queen has been killed by Ma Le, the bugs have lost contact with the leader, and without the backbone, they will naturally become irritable.
Thinking of the terrifying number and good combat power of those bugs, Ma Le also tried to communicate with them with his spiritual power. But it turns out that his connection with the bugs is no closer now than before he absorbed the queen, and the bugs' first reaction when they see him is still to kill and eat him, without hesitation or pity.
This is also natural, although the absorption and fusion have been completed, it does not mean that Ma Le will have all the characteristics of the insect queen. The absorption ability is only strengthened by taking what you need, although it can be disguised in appearance, but it cannot completely simulate the breath of the absorbed person, crossing the barrier of race.
Not only for the bug queen, but even for the black light virus, Ma Le's ability comes from the black light virus, but in fact, there is no way to find signs of the black light virus in him. This is not because Ma Le hides it well, but only because what he obtained after fusing with the black light virus is not a bloodline, but a talent, a talent that can absorb others to strengthen himself. This talent may come from the black light virus, or it may be obtained from other monsters with similar abilities, and what Ma Le has obtained is only the effect and effect, as for the principle and origin, there is no way to explain it.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Ma Le is not a black light virus infected, he is just an "ordinary person" who has been infected by black light and can use some of the same abilities as the black light prototype, he can absorb and strengthen like Alex, but he can't infect others like Alex. But on the other hand, the special effect weapon developed against Alex will not have any effect on him, because Ma Le only inherited the ability of absorption, and all the other abilities and weaknesses of the black light virus are not reflected in him.
After the death of the Queen, a large-scale riot broke out among the insect monsters in the center of the island, and they completely lost their previous order, scurrying in all directions, like a swarm of headless flies, roaring and running in all directions. In the huge insect tide, there are also a lot of strangely shaped insect monsters, which are neither bloodsucking insects, nor flying snakes, nor tank monsters. Most of these bugs have the special names of some Skull Island creatures, and it is thought that after the hive was established, the bug queen used the creatures on the island to fuse with the bug monster genes to breed a new generation of bugs. If the queen hadn't died, this island would be her base for revitalizing the race and evolving the race!
And now, the Bug Queen's whims have been rushed around the island in a radial shape with her people, and will occupy the entire island at a very fast speed, and begin to breed freely. Some of these powerful individuals will even set themselves up as kings and begin to unleash their genes to stabilize their colonies and power. With the rate of infection and reproduction of insect monsters, it won't be long before this island will become a human purgatory infested with monsters and worm nests.
We won't mention how the indigenous creatures on the island compete with the alien insects for living space, just talk about Ma Le's side. After all, Miracle City is still behind in the bounty score, and this guy has tried to sneak into the middle of the island several times to redeem the huàn bounty, but all failed.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and Ma Le has indeed been greatly strengthened, and his individual strength can be said to be the best on the island. But that doesn't mean he can really be domineering.
The insects in the central hive were scattered a lot, but a small half remained. This is the "palace" established by the queen of insects, and it is naturally the most suitable place for insects to live and breed, and after the death of the queen, the ownership of this place will inevitably become the target of the powerful insects. And in this competition, the result of the loser is to leave the central government to stand on its own, and in the end, the one who can stay must be the most powerful!
Therefore, the owner of the central hive is still not easy to mess with, and Ma Le has only seen one time from afar, which is a large insect with a huge physique comparable to a sickle monster, shaped like a large spider, except that the huge belly is replaced by a segmented abdomen, and there is a sharp and terrifying poisonous needle at the end. Needless to say, this must be a new generation of bugs born from the combination of the scorpion spider's genes!
And this big monster has at least fifty tank monsters under his command, and as for the flying snakes and bloodsucking insects, there are too many to count. The bugs travel around the island, bringing back the captured animal samples to the hive, and within a few minutes, the hive will parse the genetic characteristics of the sample and reproduce a new type of bug monster with the sample's characteristics. It's just that this insect monster is just a trial product, and it is up to time to judge how survivable it is and whether it can pass the test of the environment. In this way, the survival of the fittest, over time, the group will naturally stabilize, just like the original insect plague world, there are only a few typical insect monsters left.
However, just the current trial work has stunned Ma Le, is this Nima breeding or production! When the animal is thrown in, the insect monster comes out at the other end, and the production line is not so fast! It's no wonder that the insect queen has only appeared for a few hours, and she has pulled up such a large team, and even created a powerful monster like the sickle monster, the reproductive ability of this zerg is really too rebellious!
Speaking of which, this is also the habit of the Zerg, when they are new to an environment, they must adapt to it as quickly as possible, and reproduce rapidly in the way of overdraft energy, so that the population can stabilize as much as possible. When the climate is ready, there is no need to reproduce like this.
And it is precisely because of the reproduction speed of this demon that when Ma Le arrived, a huge army of insect monsters had been pulled up here. In addition to the three regular armies of tank monsters, flying snakes and vampires, countless newly evolved "motley armies" are also dazzling.
These huge number of terrifying monsters made Ma Le dare not break in, not to mention anything else, just the dozens of tank monsters, one by one, a mouthful of acid, even if they can't burn to death, they drown. What's more, he also has to carry body pieces in large bags. So Ma Le wisely chose to lurk, but the dozens of True Vision Demons above the hive did not give him a chance to take advantage of it, as long as he stepped into the territory of the hive, a large number of insects would besiege him, and even alarm the scorpion spider monster.
The method of attacking Ma Le is not impossible, there is still one plastic bomb left, as long as he sneaks in, uses the speed advantage to install a worm nest on a certain insect nest and turns his head and runs, he can also yin them. After all, the insects have a very low intelligence, and most of them can't understand what the shining green box is, and they should be able to wait until it explodes. When it falls, a cloud of small mushrooms rises, which can destroy almost a third of the hive area, which will inevitably bring heavy damage to the insects.
But at this time, Ma Le's buckle came up. Plastic bombs are worth a lot of money, and now there is only one last one left, so it's a shame to use them up so early. There are still more than two days before the mission time limit, what if you find another way during the period, such as killing the adventurers in the dark city and winning immediately, then won't your own bomb be in vain? Ma Le thought about it for a while, and decided to wait first, it really didn't work, this big killing weapon could be used as a last resort.
So Ma Le still wanted to find the accounts of the dark city first, and by the way, he tried the knife for the skills he had just strengthened and opened the light, but whether he had the ability to track or not, there was no way to find it. He had also checked with Creel, who was lying in the pit before, but most of this imp slipped away while he was fighting with the insect queen, and there was no one at all. In order to be safe, Ma Le deliberately shot eight marker guns into the pit, all of which turned on the power grid, and still did not get a kill prompt.
There was really nothing to do, and Ma Lefang remembered to contact his teammates in Miracle City. Except for a death notice I received once before, there was no more news, and I don't know what happened.
Ma Le opened the communication, thought about it, and still contacted the snow owl, after all, the two have the deepest friendship. As for the titular leader, the Tyrannosaurus Boss, this thing is now dead vice captain, and the situation must be extremely unstable, so it's better not to provoke it.
"Hey? Snowy Owl Girl? Do you hear that, please answer it! ”
"Foodie? Okay, you're a foodie and you're finally willing to start a communication! Where did you die after calling you so many times before?! On the other side of the communication came the slightly worried grumbling of the snowy owl.
Ma Le laughed heartlessly: "I'm too good to be better, where are you guys?" ”
The snow owl was silent for a while, probably to look at the team map of the Tyrannosaurus boss, and then said in surprise: "You are in the center of the island now, isn't it the home of the bugs?" By the way, now that the number of bugs on the island has suddenly skyrocketed, what the hell is going on, it can't be you! ”
Ma Le smiled: "Sort of, are you in trouble over there?" ”
The snow owl sighed and said, "It's okay, it's just the Tyrannosaurus ...... Hurry up and come here, I'll send you the coordinates here! ”
Ma Le heard the other meaning of the words, frowned, and said strictly: "Okay, I'll be there soon!" After saying that, he received a message from the snow owl and chased after him in the direction prompted.
