"What's that?"
Mu had apparently seen the strange woods underneath the ground.
Modas shook his head, "I don't know, but I think it's going to be important information." Let's go down and have a look. β
He pulled out a piece of safety rope from his tactical bag behind his back and fastened it to his belt with a component. Taping one end of the rope into the ground, Modas grabbed the rope and jumped into the pit. The other sea wolves followed suit, and twenty-one people quietly descended to the bottom of the island beneath the round pit.
After descending four or five meters, there is a faint electromagnetic cloud curtain. Everyone turned on their own defensive force field, and passed through this cloud curtain without hindrance, and a vast and strange underground world was displayed in their eyes.
A huge space of about twenty meters high has been dug into the ground below Osaka Castle, and in this underground space, there are black strange trees that are fifteen meters high. These large black trees, which grew in the ground for some reason, stretched out with branches as thick as arms. The surface of the trunk and branches of the tree is covered with soft walls of flesh like blood vessels. There are no leaves, only fruits.
The fruit is a cocoon more than a meter long, and there are a dozen of these cocoons hanging from each black tree. The surface of the cocoon wall occasionally glows from the inside to the inside, and through the light, you can see something shrinking into the cocoon.
Modas and the others fell to the ground and untied the safety rope around their waists, and everyone's faces were ugly. These big black trees are like a kind of cultivation tank, and as for the contents of the fruit, of course, they are some kind of biological weapons. There are more than a dozen of these cocoons on each tree, and there are tens of thousands of such trees in this underground forest, and once the creatures in the fruit hit the ground, there will be an army of 100,000 in an instant.
And this is just one Ryuk island, and God knows if there will be the same strange tree cocoon in the other islands of the ArΓn Islands?
The ground is wet and undulating. That's because there are pipes of various sizes that cover the entire ground, and the pipes are connected to strange trees like roots. The glow of energy pours into each strange tree through these pipes, providing a constant supply of energy for the fruit above them.
"Head, this is the arsenal. Mu said bitterly: "The two refineries above, as well as those things that are crazy about extracting energy, are all working for this arsenal. We've got to ruin it!"
Before Modas could answer his words, one of the fruits shook a few times from a tree not far away. The cocoon-shaped thing fell, and when it hit the ground, the walls of the cocoon cracked open, softening and sinking to the ground like an old skin. A large amount of liquid flowed out of the cracked cocoon wall, and these liquids emitted a liquid light of energy, which quickly penetrated into the cracks of the pipes on the surface, and had been absorbed in a matter of moments.
At this time, a sharp arthropod was tried out of the cocoon wall, and then a shuttle-shaped assault insect was drilled. It's a larva, and it squeaks, quickly tearing apart the cocoon that was born and sending it to its mouth. In the process of devouring the cocoon, the insect's body grew rapidly, and the shell of the insect changed from soft to hard, and finally formed a crystal-like insect beetle.
The process of a storm bug from larva to adulthood was condensed in just 1 minute, and Modas and the others were in a heavy mood. Unbeknownst to them, it would take at least 24 hours for the full version of the Storm Bug to complete the process. Now, this ripening-like method has greatly condensed this process, and the result is this defective product that is smaller in size and has reduced strength and speed in all aspects.
However, the quantity of defective products is very large, and when the quantity reaches a certain level, it can often make up for the lack of quality.
Modas and the others leaned against the strange tree, and after the storm worm completed its transformation into an adult, several insect eyes flickered. As if receiving some signal, the worm's limbs slashed, and it swept quickly across the rugged ground, and quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they found that the cocoons of the strange trees where they were hiding were shaking violently.
Then the fruits hit the ground, burrowing an equal number of larvae from tens of thousands of cocoons. For a moment, the ground was full of the rustling sound of insects.
Modas and the team had climbed to the bare tree, where they hid themselves under the cover of the branches. Seeing that an army of bugs was taking shape on the ground under the tree, Modas's face was already hard to see. He knew very well that this mass-produced and unified biological weapon was far more powerful than those alien creatures with different shapes on the ground.
Even among the alien creatures, there are also a few big ones with very strong energy aura. But the number of this insect army is 100,000, and if there are a few more islands with the same insects, then they can easily reach the million-level, or even the terrifying million-level! When they reach this level, even if they are a strong individual in another life, they will kill them in an instant.
Modas couldn't imagine how much time the East Asian Alliance would be able to support when this army of bugs crossed the sea and landed.
At this time, the storm bugs, which have eaten the cocoons and transformed into adults, begin to sweep in one direction. As thousands of bugs passed under his nose, even Modas got goosebumps. Although the members of the Seawolf team are well-trained, they have never seen such a scene before. Especially the newcomers who have just joined, seeing countless insects passing by under the tree, it is inevitable that their breathing will be heavier.
Suddenly, several bugs stopped, rolled their eyes, and let out a hissing sound at the tree where the Sea Wolves were hiding.
Modas secretly said that it was not good, but he was afraid that these bugs had already discovered his teammates. He was about to give the order to evacuate when the bugs suddenly fell silent, and then turned around and left.
A false alarm.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at that moment, a voice rang out in the heads of all of them: "Was it a nice visit? β
Modas jerked to his feet and looked around, but found nothing. The others were the same, looking around and finding nothing.
"Where do you look, here I am. I...... O on your heads!"
This sentence was like a bombshell, and everyone couldn't help but shake their whole bodies. Modas was the first to look up, but there was nothing above him, except for the faint electromagnetic cloud curtain. At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed through the cloud curtain, and they converged from all directions, and then rushed up through the gap in the ground. Modas's whole body was shocked, and he lost his voice: "Could it be that electromagnetic cloud ......?"
The voice rang in his head again: "You guessed it, it seems that you are a relatively intelligent bug. Well, there's plenty of energy too. I've been watching you guys for a long time, and you're the only one who satisfies me. I'm short of a commander, so you'll be in charge. β
Modas didn't rush to refuse, he just asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? What was the day that invaded Ryujima? Do you want to rule the Eastern Continent?"
"That's an interesting question. For me, there's not much interest in ruling a planet. If it were you, you wouldn't want to rule over a piece of bread, would you? As for who I am, you'll soon know......"
Suddenly arcs of electricity descended from the electromagnetic cloud above, each lightning bolting towards a member of the sea wolf. Many members, including the team leader-level figures, were struck by the electric light before they had time to dodge, and the whole person kept trembling and falling off the tree. Modas suddenly flipped out all the void energy stones, and roared and punched the electric light. As if blocked by an invisible force field, the electric light continued to decrease in speed. When he came to the top of Modas's head, he was still about three meters away, and he couldn't get an inch.
Modas immediately leapt at the other monster, and the lightning slashed down, splitting the previous monster tree into a ball of fire.
Also avoiding the electric light is Mu, the difference is that Mu relies on lightning assault instead of blocking the electric light with strong force like Modas. However, several lightning bolts were shot down in the electromagnetic cloud, and this time Mu could not be spared, he was struck by one of the electric lights, and fell to the ground with a scream.
Modas barely managed to stop two more bolts of lightning before being hit overhead by a third. Suddenly, a series of pictures followed, and a huge amount of data squeezed into Modas's head. The major general screamed, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and his eyes were bloodshot. But now, he also knows who the things in the electromagnetic cloud are.
It calls itself Prosius, a super-life that feeds on planets, and is near-top of super-life. Every time it visits a planet, it inevitably repeats the steps of aggression, expansion, and devouring. As it says, it has no interest in ruling the Eastern Continent or even the planet. What Prosius has to do is to invade the continent, plunder resources, train an army, and finally settle the enemy of fate.
As for who is its enemy of fate, Modas is unknown. His will was like a piece of paper torn to shreds, unable to be glued together. And another will forcibly squeezed in, completely shattering the fragments of his will!
When Modas opened his eyes again on the ground, his eyes were pitch black, and his pupils were made up of concentric circles of countless tiny symbols. From this moment on, he is no longer Modas, but the general of Prosius's army!
The black fog is spreading.
This was the conclusion reached by the general of the garrison unit located along the coastline after three days of observation. Three days have passed since the departure of the Sea Wolf, and Modas and his teammates, like the reconnaissance team sent before, have not returned. I heard that because of this, Maharaja Alpha of India almost didn't tear down his palace. At this moment, in the fishy wind wafting from the sea, the general of the war zone smelled unease.
His instincts were clearly correct.
In the Yaning Islands, shrouded in black mist, in just three days, an army of assault bugs created by ripening methods was crawling out of its nest. They occupy the surface of the island, and their dense numbers are enough to make even high-level powerhouses explode.
This million-level army of bugs began to leave the island, and they burrowed into the seawater, quietly spreading in the direction of the Eastern Continent like a black dark tide!
