Chapter XVIII Growing Up Next

The brood's abdomen is now round like a ball, and the proportions with the rest of the body are very incongruous, and even the dorsal armor is pushed open by the abdomen, and a few transparent wings poke out of the gaps. However, looking at those short wings, and then looking at the deformed body of the brood, everyone knows that these wings have become ornaments.

The brood stopped, its belly rapidly expanding and contracting, and its body began to crackle densely, and countless cracks suddenly appeared in the dark black carapace, and then the cracks became wider and wider, and thick yellow unknown bodily fluids continued to emerge from the cracks and from the cracks. As soon as these bodily fluids come into contact with the air, they turn into a cloud of mist, which transpires no more than one centimeter from the body and then quickly solidifies, gradually turning black in color.

Everyone, including Richard, felt that their eyes seemed to be a little glazed, because the brood was noticeably larger than it had just been. Richard suddenly felt a tingling in his eyes, and tears flowed involuntarily. , and there is also a burning sensation on the exposed skin. Although most of the fog was solidified, a small part of it still spread out in the room, and the air was already filled with a faint mist, which seemed to carry and was strongly corrosive.

The voice of the brood sounded again: "Master, I will produce a lot of acid mist when I grow, please leave here for a while." ”

Richard immediately led everyone out of the small building, and moved more than ten steps away, and the acid mist was still pouring out from the door. The quicksand used magic to dispel the acid etching effect of several people's bodies in a row, and everyone Richard felt more comfortable.

Richard didn't see that behind the brood's massive body, there was a mass of debris that was rapidly corroding by a large amount of acid, and most of the acid mist in the room was emitted from this pile of debris. That's something the brood doesn't want Richard to see.

After a few moments, all that remained of the wreckage was a pool of charred embers, and it was no longer possible to see what it was.

When the acid mist cleared, the brood also completed its growth again, this time its length, width and height increased by half a meter, so that the whole look more rounded and undistinguishable from the head and tail. However, although the body has grown, the arthropods and blades have not grown with it, and now it looks ridiculously small.

It began to try to leave the house, but for its current size, the door was too narrow to allow its massive belly to pass through it. The brood made a sizzling cry, arched forward with force, and with a bang, the whole door frame fell out, and most of the side walls were collapsed by it, and the small building on half of the ceiling on the second floor rumbled down, along with the windows on the second floor by the street and a small balcony, and a pile of masonry and wood buried it underneath the rubble.

The brood shook and crawled out of the rubble. This impact can't hurt it at all, and it can't hurt it.

The two knights of the infantry, attracted by the sound of the collapse, were taken aback when they saw the brood, and while shouting warnings, they assumed a defensive posture and blocked the intersection in the center of the base through GuΓ².

Then Richard came over, stood beside the brood, tapped its carapace with his hand, and said to the two knights, "All right, don't worry! ”

The two infantry knights glanced at each other, and the scene before them was in disbelief. Seeing Richard standing next to the huge insect that was almost as tall as himself, the corner of the eye of one of the foot knights twitched a few times and said, "Yes, Lord Richard." But...... It seems like you'd better stay away from that thing. ”

The brood propped herself up and waved a small pair of blades demonstratively at the foot knight, which immediately startled him and put on a defensive posture again.

Richard knocked the brood, which quieted it.

There is still a lot of aftermath work in the base, and when I see that QiΔ“ is still fine, the others will leave first, Richard stays where he is, and begins to communicate with the brood, and a lot of information about himself is transmitted by the brood.

Richard knew that the brood was still in its infancy, but it was less than half way from its maturity. After referring to the power system of humans and this plane, the brood first strengthened its own ontological defenses, and now the carapace strength can withstand the full force of the tenth-level power knight without damage, and only a warrior like Mintai can cause effective damage to it. In Magical Defense, the Brood is almost immune to acid and poison, and is highly resistant to ice and electricity, and only fire can inflict complete damage on it.

The Brood's own means of attack are mainly mental shocks, as well as acid spitting. The distance of the acid spray is only ten meters, but once it is sprayed, even the whole body plate armor can only resist corrosion for a minute at most. In addition to being too slow to move and now even losing the ability to fly, the brood's combat power can be said to be quite strong. Its oversized belly appears to be a weak point, but the folds are actually made of a carapace-like substance that can only be cut open by a single blow from the Foot Knight with a heavy axe. A bow and arrow of a marksman of Oral's level would not be able to penetrate the folded skin.

The brood's assessment of its own combat power was derived from this half-day battle, and the clear and concise classification of the number jΓΉ surprised Richard again with its intelligence. The huge body of the brood has a head that is only the size of an ordinary human. However, the information transmitted by the brood also included a general diagram of its body, so Richard knew that its head was not actually the key point, and that there were dozens of real brains, distributed in the chest cavity protected by a heavy carapace.

The hatching brood still had a large need for food, so after the report was completed, they asked Richard to leave the forward base to forage for food.

"Can you catch your prey? Do you want Orar to help you?" Richard was skeptical of the brood's speed of movement, its mental shock and acid spewing had a limited range.

"I can now hatch a few worker bees and they will catch prey for me. Flesh and blood life is my best food at this stage. ”

The words of the brood seemed to mean something else, and Richard immediately thought of the hundreds of corpses in the forward base, and he groaned for a moment, saying, "Human corpses are not good, and I don't care about you for the rest." Also, do you need anything else? Tell me and I'll try to help you collect them. ”

"Worker bees can do the job. ”

With Richard's permission, the brood moved its massive body and crawled slowly out of the forward base. It seems to be a little dissatisfied with this speed, and from time to time it will flap its wings vigorously, so that it can really rise off the ground. However, after flying less than ten meters, it will fall back to the ground, and can only move forward with six short limbs.

Although the brood was already known to be Richard's contract creature, the foot knights were still horrified to see it. The veterans had also seen demonic beasts on the battlefield, and even Gordon's mount was a fierce beast, but seeing the creature in front of them seemed to be extremely mentally unwell-affected.
