Pale and rough skin, tattered leggings and cloth shoes, gray clothes that smell of dust like rags.

Layers of dirt and grease curdled their hair into rough stone sticks, and you could even hear the sound of their hair colliding against each other as you walked.

"We ...... Liberated? An old insect man whose face was covered with thick mud and dust and was so dirty that he couldn't see his face looked at the light sprinkled above his head and asked in disbelief.

Although the insect theory does not age, weaken or even die, in fact, as long as it is a creature with normal senses, it cannot withstand this almost endless oppression and torture.

What's even more terrifying is that they can't touch each other in this environment......

Without any means of consolation, their innate intelligence and keen perception became instruments of torture that drove them further into the abyss......

Under this endless torture, many insects have chosen to commit suicide.

It's ridiculous, but the average lifespan of immortal worms is only fifty years......

Even the few surviving insect people, who are particularly afraid of death and cherish their lives, will gradually lose their will to live due to endless forced labor and torture.

Their bodies show signs of aging because they can't bear the torment at the cellular level......

"That's right, trash! Your work has been done, and the great Eight Princes are merciful enough to grant you true freedom. A burly insect man with a pair of transparent membranous wings on his back flew through the air and shouted to the crowd. Line up all of them, don't rush one by one! Line up on the ground, and the Eight Princes will personally bestow 'glory' on you! ”

After thousands of years of evolution, the Hades Empire has rarely directly intervened in the operation of underground excavation projects, because some insects with abilities underground will spontaneously organize themselves to form a supervision group to control those ordinary insects.

They possess armor issued by the Immortal Empire, which prevents the blood and bodily fluids of their own kind from splashing on their bodies. In addition, they can also use the weapons of inferior kings through armor, and their own strength is also extremely strong and they have their own abilities, which is not something that ordinary insects can resist at all.

It is no exaggeration to say that these overseers can kill tens of thousands of their kind alone before they can be captured and splashed with blood due to exhaustion, causing them to explode.

And as long as there are more than ten overseers, this kind of overseer insect is a completely irresistible existence.

Of course, the reason why these overseers are so united is naturally because of the various preferential treatment given to them by the Hades Empire.

Better food, water, regular windproof to the ground, and even give them a certain amount of money.

And the most difficult thing for them to extricate themselves from is that the Hades Empire will give them a 'wife'!

There are also criminals in the Hades Empire, and some of these criminals who have committed particularly serious crimes will be thrown to the wormmen as their playthings.

Unlike ordinary bugmen, these mutant bugmen have stronger desires, and they crave more things.

There are even examples of half-breed offspring born by combining with ordinary women, and this kind of half-worm will be restrained by the royal palace as a force.

Bang, click......

Hiss ~~~

A pair of burning cloth shoes stepped on the blood-colored puddle, and the viscous blood erupted into a red mist under the high temperature......

The fire ghost leaped high and stepped over half of the corpse, a huge man with three pairs of thick arms, three meters tall on his upper body alone, his eyes were compound eyes, but they had eyelids.

These guys who were slain by the fire ghost in front of the courtyard are half-worms.

After hundreds of years of reproduction, they have already become a completely different race from the Zerg race, they are loyal to the empire, loyal to the royal palace.

They won't be merciful in the face of fire ghosts, but fire ghosts are no different.

In the midst of the loud bang, the entire palace of the king army collapsed, or rather, it was 'topped' open!

A distorted black shadow blasted the entire hall from the ground like a blowout, and among the flying building materials, a huge beam smashed in front of the fire ghost......

He looked at the weight in front of him, stopped, and turned to look at the dark shadow.

Countless twisted flesh-colored long insects were entangled, their bodies had an astonishing strength, and only in this way could they support this strange soft body hundreds of meters high, twisted, and with no logic in shape......

Poof!

A half-body emerged from the strange, massive soft body, and he looked down at the fire ghost in the distance, wearing a metal mask on his face.

Although the metal mask was covered with a large number of wriggling seams, it was only worn by the monster on its forehead.

The monster's face was two meters long, and the once massive metal mask was more like a sticker to the face.

And that face was not the old man's original appearance with hideous mouthparts, but the appearance of a young man with a few scales scattered on his face, a sword eyebrow on his face, and long hair with a shawl.

But from the area below his neck, it's a little different......

It was a half-body composed of the kind of rusted bronze long worms twisting and rolling, and the crawling long worms formed muscle fibers, and even changed very naturally with the movement of the body, which seemed to form a very reasonable operating mechanism according to the structure of the human body......

The half of the body slammed the flesh wall next to him with a pair of giant arms more than ten meters long, and dragged the lower half of the body out of it!

Rumble!

The bronze giant, which was nearly thirty meters high, landed less than a hundred meters away from the fire ghost......

And there was a huge hole in the flesh wall that kept wriggling.

There were still dozens of bronze-colored, pipe-like things on his spine that connected to the huge hole in the back.

"Oh, what's that? The umbilical cord is not clean? The fire ghost stood in front of the giant, looked at the monster that was slowly standing up, and asked. He's really an excellent 'earthman'......"

It was naturally impossible for the underground fire ghost to know the situation of the people on the ground, but he had the good fortune to witness the process of giving birth to an earth-man before, although the result was unfortunate......

"This is the real 'power of the king', great and endless...... Instead of your stolen humble tinder......" The troll straightened up and stepped forward with its right arm raised. "So, give it back to me! All the power of the king should be mine, because I am the will born from the power of the king, and I am the only true emperor who can unite the power of the eighteen princes! ”

"Is loyalty gone?" The fire ghost laughed and whispered.

At the same time, the blade and handle on his chest were glowing with scorching color, slowly dissolving and flowing back into his body......

"Die, turn to powder!" The troll swung its right fist and slammed into the fire ghost like Tarzan!

But the fire ghost just indifferently raised the long knife in his hand and blocked it diagonally in front of him......

While~~~~

The humming sound of an ancient temple bell sounded......

The blinding flash of fire rushed into the sky, and the huge impact squeezed the air and spread to the surrounding area......

The churning high-pressure air currents tossed the bloody corpses and dirt off the surface, scraping a circular trail......

With the fire demon as the center, the whole land collapsed.

But the tiny body still stood on the ground, and even when his legs sank to the ground to his knees, his posture remained unmoving.

The sky-high flames instantly reversed, falling on the fire ghost's weapon, body, and ......

That troll's fist!

The scorching color swirled across his massive iron fist, burning the rusty spots of the cyan worm on it......

"What? Not attacking? The troll looked at its fist, which had become crystal clear like fine jade, and gripped it twice. I love it, I love your 'fire'! Ant! Keep getting angry, keep burning, and make me happy! ”

The power of the troll's king comes from the rampaging Dead King Beast, and it is also the Dead King Beast that has been sealed for hundreds of years.

During the long sealing period, the Dead King Beast could only survive by devouring itself, and as his powerful Origin devoured each other, drastic changes occurred in its body.

That is, the birth of that bronze long worm!

Originally, this Dead King Beast was a 'inferior product' derived from the body of the Eighth Prince, and it only grew up after unlimited proliferation.

And after hundreds of years of self-mutation, just like the 'intergenerational inheritance' of the fire ghost, the body of this dead king beast was also born into an existence closer to the 'origin'.

These origins are different from those inferior kings' powers, not only are they not afraid of the 'power of the original fire' in the body of the eighth prince, but they also urgently need the power of that origin fire to refine themselves and purify their bloodlines!

The troll's taunts and provocative words were not groundless, but he really instinctively felt that the power of the fire demon's original fire through defensive counterattacks made him very 'comfortable'.

Although in fact, it is the bronze worms that feel 'comfortable'.

Although the main consciousness of this hall master of the royal army hall still existed, the will of the bronze worms that made up his body also affected him.

The fire demon looked at the troll in front of him, his scorching face as if he had just been fished out of molten steel, and his blood-stained hair turned bright red as the heat surged through the air.

"As you wish." The fire ghost whispered, and at the same time his body moved, and stabbed the troll's freshly smelted right fist!

"What a slave, so obedient...... Haha, haha~~~" The troll was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

And instead of retreating, the fire ghost looked at the other party's appearance, but slammed into the hilt of the long knife that pierced into the troll's palm!

"If you like it, it's all for you." The fire ghost said indifferently.

I saw that the burning color of his whole body was violently injected into the opponent's right fist, and the huge, jade-like iron fist suddenly emitted a ray of fire......

The fire ghost, which had lost all the power of the original fire in its body, rolled backwards and fell to the ground by the reaction force of the attack.

All the bugs were frantically rushing towards the source of the fire, as if the muscles on the troll's arm were converging on the right fist, and the rusty cyan enveloped the fire......

The troll also fell to one knee with a thud.

"Hehe, Mole Ant, so you made this plan?" The troll propped himself on the ground with one hand, looking at the slowly retreating fire ghost in the distance, and roared with a hideous face.

It turned out that because too many cyan worms coveted the fire, all the worms on the troll's body went berserk, frantically gathering towards his right fist.

At this time, his entire body had shrunk to less than twenty meters, but his right fist had turned into a huge ball of flesh with a diameter of nearly ten meters, and it was still squirming and increasing in volume......

The troll's subjective consciousness has very little control over his body, and at least his command is nowhere near as short as the desire for the power of the original fire of the worms that make up his body.

The fire ghost looked at the scene in front of him, but instead of turning and running away as the troll thought, he raised the war hammer in his hand.

"Huh? You think I'm incapacitated this way? I can't kill you? "The troll roared and slammed off his right arm!" Kill you and completely seize the power of the original fire, this consensus 'we' still have! ”

With the troll's roar, he tore off the drooping skin, revealing the head of the strange reptile underneath, and strode towards the fire ghost......

This time, he was going to kill the fire ghost completely, not just let him block it.

So this time he didn't use a 'blow', but planned to wrap it around it, and then use the power of this bronze giant worm to peel it off from the epidermis and tear it into minced meat!

The fire ghost swung the hammer in his hand violently, but not at the troll, but at himself......

He raised his hand and struck him hard in the chest, where there was a raised piece of metal.

The piece of metal had just been stabbed by the warriors of the King's Palace, and the large knife that pierced through him was hung on his chest as his own weapon, most of which was dissolved into his body by the power of the surging primordial fire, except for a piece in the middle of his chest.

There is no doubt that this was deliberately left behind by the fire spirits to ignite the 'power of the original fire'.

While! While! While~~

With the blow of the fire ghost, his body was once again ablaze......

Although it seems primitive and savage, his trick is indeed very effective.

"Hah! Don't you know the lesson?! The troll roared arrogantly, and slapped it directly with its big hand.

Although his body is now less than twenty meters, his strength is still overwhelming compared to the fire ghost.

And at the same time as this vicious palm was slapped down, the bronze long worms that composed it had already begun to decompose, and a large number of long worms roared and killed the fire ghost!

However, when the first bronze worm bit on the body of the fire ghost, he saw the fire ghost's figure flicker and disappear directly.

A ring of flames swept across the surroundings, interspersed with countless hazy figures......

This is exactly the fire ghost used in the palace of the king's army, and it is also a skill that he has comprehended on his own.

The next moment, the fire ghost appeared on top of the huge bronze ball of insects.

"Idiot!" The troll shouted as he looked at the fire ghost. "I said, we have a 'consensus'!"

The fire ghost was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person was pounced on by a large number of bronze long worms under him!

It is true that the trolls' control over these bronze insects has not reached the point where they can extinguish their instinctive desires, but the most basic communication is still very smooth and timely, otherwise they would not be able to form such a body.

The brains of these bronze worms are not very good, they just want to swallow the power of the flame devouring the original fire to refine their evolved bodies to the next realm, and they are extremely obsessed with this.

Some of them who are more persistent and have a particularly bad brain will be tempted by the power of the original fire that the fire ghost has just struck, and thus lose control and break away from the consciousness control of the hall master of the Wang Jun Palace.

And judging from this ratio, there seem to be quite a lot of guys with particularly bad brains......

However, as long as the consciousness of the hall master of the Wang Jun Hall said to these bronze long worms that the 'fire ghost' was the primordial fire, as long as he was killed, there would be endless flames, and these guys would naturally know what to do......

Looking at the fire ghost whose whole person was covered by a sea of worms and completely fell into the ball of worms, the troll laughed wildly for a while.

"Well, dead? The power of the original fire...... As long as we can temper our bodies with this, we will be able to surpass the 'Prince' and become a force closer to the 'King of Sun Bugs'. Next, as long as you devour the power of the seventeen princes and integrate them...... It's not impossible to become a real emperor! This dragon vein...... Haha, it's not for return, it's for 'retrieving'! The troll looked at the ball of insects that had gradually calmed down, and whispered excitedly as it stepped forward.

The closer he got, the more he could feel the heat spurting from it......

That's the nostalgic, comforting heat. Sprayed on his body by the heat that was enough to dissolve molten steel, the bronze giant insects felt extremely comfortable, and that feeling reached the mind of the main consciousness, making him extremely addicted......

'It's so comfortable, no wonder these guys are so obsessed with the power of the original fire...... It's as if you're going back to the original 'palace'...... Yes...... Nostalgically, the trolls of the Sunfire......' began to stumble, and the whole person stumbled as if drunk, or pounced on the ball of insects.

However...... Countless scorching rays of light suddenly burst out from the cracks of the insect ball!

The troll froze for a moment and stopped, the sense of crisis in his main consciousness made him resist the comfort that the bugs were in.

Although he no longer has a body, the phantom limb phenomenon still makes him feel his hair stand on end and his scalp is numb!

'How is that possible?!' The guy ...... Not dead?! The troll felt the vigor within the ball of worms, and a strong will, and for some reason he could feel it...... Belong to the fire ghosts!

I saw a pillar of fire that soared into the sky and exploded the entire insect ball, and countless bronze long insects were directly blown into powder!

Sometimes, supplements can also kill.

Under certain circumstances, sheep can kill wolves, and water can kill fish.

Everything is about a 'quantity', no matter what is overdosed, it is a disaster!
