Chapter 1234 – Transforming Bug Nest
The eight-legged bugs were still frantically attacking. These bugs survive on instinct, so they didn't have any fear in them at all. The only thing they knew was attacking and killing their enemies.
Soon after, Xiong Li and Li Kuangren gave up. Although their weapons had been transformed by Zhao Hai, they still weren't able to fight for a very long time. They took a potion like Lu Dingtian did and then went to Zhao Hai's side to rest.
The only one left on the field was Dongfang Yu. Although his fight with Li Chuchen ended in almost an instant, it still made Dongfang Yu aware about the strength of the Cultivators in the Cultivator Realm. Without Zhao Hai's help, he would've already died under Li Chuchen's spinning ghost disk.
However, Dongfang Yu believed that he wasn't any worse compared to Li Chuchen. HIs only disadvantage was his short time in studying the Divine Fire Dragon Art. Otherwise, he wouldn't lose that easily against Li Chuchen. Therefore, Dongfang Yu made sure to use the current battle with the bugs to train his Divine Fire Dragon Art as well as his fire dragon sword technique.
It was at this moment that the difference between the Machine Field's method and the Cultivation Realm's method appeared. Xiong Li and the others were already tired, their battle qi was consumed, they don't have any capability to fight. Meanwhile, Dongfang Yu was still fighting. Moreover, he was becoming more and more skilled when it came to using his fire dragon sword. This also allowed him to be more relaxed in battle.
After watching Dongfang Yu, Xiong Li and the others finally knew why he was able to fight for so long. This was due to the difference between flying swords and sword qi.
Flying sword techniques allowed one to control their sword to fly and kill their enemy. Meanwhile, sword qi was akin to arrows being shot out by a bow. Once it was in motion, it could no longer be controlled. It was the same difference between artillery shells and remote missiles.
One must know that enemies that would just stand there to take the hit were very rare. Most of them would just avoid the attack. Even the bugs who lived on instinct knew to avoid sword qi. Even if they couldn't completely avoid the attack, they would still make sure that their vital organs weren't hit. In this case, taking someone's life using sword qi was very hard.
Flying swords were different. Once a flying sword was set in motion, it could still be controlled. Even if the bugs managed to dodge, the sword could still home in on their vital parts. This allowed Dongfang Yu to kill a large amount of bugs while keeping his energy consumption to a minimum.
With this thought in mind, Xiong Li and the others couldn't help but be envious of Dongfang Yu's luck in being able to obtain a Cultivation Method.
At this moment, Zhao Hai's voice was heard, "After this competition, everyone can also practice a Cultivation Method. Look, haven't we already gained a water-attribute method?"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Xiong Li and the others stared. Then they immediately understood what Zhao Hai was saying. They managed to kill Li Chuchen who practiced a high-level water-attribute cultivation method. Now that Li Chuchen has become Zhao Hai's Undead, this meant that they could also practice this water-attribute cultivation method.
But after thinking about it, Xiong Li and Li Kuangren weren't happy. This was because they were both earth-attribute. A water-attribute cultivation method was useless to them. Meanwhile, Sun Fei doesn't need to wait until the competition to learn Dongfang Yu's Divine Fire Dragon Art.
However, they still had hope. If they could kill a water-attribute Cultivator today, then what's stopping them from killing an earth-attribute Cultivator tomorrow? When the time comes, they would have their own cultivation method.
Seeing Dongfang Yu's sword technique becoming more and more refined, Zhao Hai stopped looking and instead turned to the others and said, "When we get a few more Cultivation Methods, I'll take a look at them first if they're good to practice. You should know that I have all the attributes. Right, Old Lu, what attribute do you have?"
Lu Dingtian paused for a moment before replying, "Metal attribute."
Zhao Hai stared, then he nodded and said, "Metal? That's good. Then we'll grab every attribute there is. This way, we can find appropriate ones in the future."
The fight with the bugs was nearing its end. Xiong Li and the others might not have killed a lot of bugs, but the Undead absolutely did. At this time there weren't a lot of bugs left in the passage.
Moreover, from what Zhao Hai can see, only the bugs from the first and second perimeter came to fight. The bugs from the third, fourth, and fifth perimeter of defense didn't move.
Before long, the battle was over and the Undead began clearing the battlefield. Xiong Li and the others looked at the Undead with envy. Xiong Li murmured, "Having these fellows is truly convenient. Especially at this time. Others have to divide the bugs to themselves while we can just sit here and chat."
Upon hearing Xiong Li, Zhao Hai and the others laughed. Dongfang Yu received his sword at this time, then he looked at Xiong Li and said, "Boss Xiong, how about you ask Little Hai to teach you summoning magic?"
Xiong Li immediately shook his head and said, "Forget it. I still have to learn magic then how to write magic formations. It's too troublesome."
The group laughed once more. Zhao Hai wasn't anxious to continue attacking. Everyone had just finished a battle and they needed to take a good rest. It would be unwise to attack now.
At this time, the Undead were done cleaning up. The bugs were divided evenly and every useful material were taken out.
Zhao Hai and the others didn't hurry in getting the materials. Instead, they sat down and then chatted. Although there were a lot of bug corpses around them, they were used to such an environment so they didn't care.
The reason why Zhao Hai was assured in taking a rest here was because he knew that there weren't any dangers in the surroundings, unless someone from the other realm or an advanced-level bug came. Besides those, no other eight-legged bugs were nearby.
This nest belonged to eight-legged bugs. And since the area belonged to this particular nest of bugs, eight-legged bugs from other nests wouldn't come near. This was because the territorial consciousness of the eight-legged bugs was very strong.
After resting for two hours, everyone had almost recovered. Zhao Hai gave a nod and said, "Let's go and continue the attack. I believe that there would be pleasant surprises waiting for us today."
Xiong Li and the others still weren't aware that they were inside a bug nest. Moreover, they weren't able to scout the area ahead of them like Zhao Hai. Also, this cave system restricted the use of spiritual force. This caused Xiong Li and the others to be relatively clueless about their surroundings.
In the past, the Cultivators wanted to map out the cave systems so that they could fight the bugs better. However, they soon discovered that it was useless. This was because the passages transform constantly. These bugs would dig more caves and passages while also burying old ones. This caused any maps made to be scrapped.
After multiple explorations into the cave system, the Cultivators also found out that the bugs secret a type of mucus. This mucus is very potent. As long as it gets mixed in with the earth, it would make the ground as strong as concrete.
Most importantly, this mucus had the ability to restrict spiritual force. But once the bugs were killed, this mucus would quickly dry up, unable to be used. From the Cultivation Realm's investigations, almost the entire underground system was covered by this mucus. Therefore, whether it be the Cultivators or the people from other realms, when they enter the cave system, their spiritual force would be affected. One could use magic to explore, but spiritual force was impossible.
It can be said that having the elimination round here was giving Zhao Hai a home ground advantage. He can use the silver needles to explore the surroundings first. And since this was on the outer layer of Fabio Planet, advanced-level bugs were very rare. So even if the silver needle was found out, it couldn't be dealt with easily. Zhao Hai used the silver needle to perfectly grasp the situation inside this bug nest. Naturally, this gave him an advantage in the competition.
Additionally, Zhao Hai had a lot of Undead to help him hunt and kill the bugs. The results of this elimination round would definitely surprise a lot of people.
Although Xiong Li and the others didn't know about the situation ahead, they already had absolute confidence in Zhao Hai. In their opinion, the only thing they needed to do was follow Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai led Xiong Li and the others towards a passage. While they were flying, Zhao Hai suddenly heard Laura's voice, "Brother Hai, you need to take care. The fourth and fifth defensive line's bugs had reinforced the third defensive line's bugs. The eight-legged bugs that you would face will number 30 thousand."
Zhao Hai gave a short nod, indicating his understanding. Then he turned to Xiong Li and the others and said ,"Boss Xiong, be prepared. A large number of bugs are ahead. There are more bugs there than we faced before."
As soon as XIong Li and the others heard Zhao Hai, their expressions turned serious. Then they nodded and couldn't help but tighten their grip on their weapons.
Zhao Hai wasn't holding back this time and directly took out 20 thousand Undead to drive back the wave of bugs. Before Zhao Hai and the others entered the third line of defense, the bugs and the Undead were already fighting.
When the group entered the third defensive line, the Undead and the bugs were already killing each other. Xiong Li and the other quickly joined in on the battle. Zhao Hai was still doing the job of a caretaker. Not only was he enhancing the fighting abilities of Xiong Li and the others, he was also making Megan and the others adjust their battle formations in order to get used to the battles of the World of Cultivation.
Chapter 1235 – The Straightforward Lu Dingtian
The Undead were very important combat elements in Zhao Hai's arsenal. Although they weren't strong right now and were only equal to level 3, their cumulative strength makes up for it. This allowed the Undead to become very powerful in the battlefield.
However, they also have their own issues. Undead needed to be commanded. They could fight on their own, but the difference between having a commander and not was very clear. The ones commanding the Undead this time were Megan, Lizzy, and Margaret.
Laura and Meg don't usually like to command the Undead, but Margaret actually took a liking to it.
On the other hand, Lizzy and Megan commanded the Undead since the lower realms. However, they found that the battles in the World of Cultivation were much more intense. No matter from which realm, their practitioners were much more formidable. Now, with the elimination round, Zhao Hai allowed them an opportunity to adapt to the rhythm of battles in the World of Cultivation.
Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't make a move against the bugs. In addition to overseeing Xiong Li and the others, Zhao Hai also left the Undead to the ladies.
Lizzy and the others were indeed improving. After several battles with the bugs, they had learned to adjust the Undead's formation according to the changes in the battlefield. Seeing them adapt faster and faster, Zhao Hai was very satisfied.
What surprised Zhao Hai was Margaret's interest in commanding Undead. He truly didn't expect this to happen. Zhao Hai thought that Margaret was only interested in supporting formations. Who would've thought that Margaret was also interested in commanding the Undead.
Compared to the last battle, this one progressed slowly since there were a lot more bugs involved. But during the battle, Zhao Hai noticed that Sun Fei's tactics were beginning to contain something special. In the past, Sun Fei acted like his attribute, hot-headed and straightforward like fire. His attacks were all quite fierce, which caused him to consume more energy than required.
However, his tactics were changing. He was no longer the same as before. Now, instead of pursuing the greatest attacking strength, he was now using efficient attacks.
Attacks with great strength completely differed from attacking with efficiency. It was just like people using a cannon to kill a mosquito. They could indeed kill the mosquito, but the power they used was too much. Although their attack was very powerful, it wasted a lot of energy if it only dealt with a single mosquito.
Using large-scale attacks reduced one's lethality. Without Zhao Hai's insane strength, even 100-layer formations wouldn't be able to kill the bugs.
Sun Fei was using large-scale attacks in the past battle. But now, Sun Fei was using 10-layer formations and even 5-layer formations. His biggest attacks would never exceed 50-layers. But even so, he was now killing more bugs compared to before. Moreover, as he was staying behind XIong Li and the others, Sun Fei was beginning to pay great attention to Xiong Li and the others' actions. Whenever a great danger appears near the Warriors, Sun Fei would make sure that it would be eliminated.
Naturally, since he wasn't that strong yet, Sun Fei was unable to keep Xiong Li and the others completely safe. Nevertheless, he was heading in that direction.
Zhao Hai couldn't help but nod at Sun Fei's learning capability. Sun Fei observed him last battle and was now starting to apply what he learned. Zhao Hai was very satisfied.
Mages were smart people. However, there were Mages that were very stubborn. Once they see a solution to a problem, they would immediately stick to it.
A Mage's large-scale attack was indeed stronger than a weapon, but it heavily depended on the situation. If there were a lot of enemies, then this kind of attack would be very useful. This would greatly increase the speed in killing enemies.
But if a large-scale attack can't cause a lot of damage to the enemy, then it was better to help your companions by clearing the dangers around them. This way, they could fight in relative safety.
Doing so wouldn't only enhance Sun Fei's ability, this would also increase the efficiency of the Warriors. After all, a Mage's best weapon in battle wasn't their magic, but instead their control over the situation. Knowing when to use spells was the most critical ability to have.
This point might seem simple, but it was rare for Mages to achieve this. Even Zhao Hai wouldn't be able to achieve this if he didn't have the Space's help. In a fast battle, a simple mistake may develop into a fatal loss. If you cannot grasp the situation of the battle, then you would already be three points closer to a loss.
Grasping the changes of the enemy was also a type of control. It was impossible for a Mage to only use one kind of spell. And choosing a suitable spell for a specific situation wasn't easy. Mages weren't like Warriors who had a set of stances. If these stances were practiced to the extreme, then the Warrior would be able to use them at any time. However, a Mage's magic arsenal wasn't fixed. Even if one practices all spells, then they still couldn't guarantee that they would be peerless in the battlefield.
When the enemy changes their actions and you weren't able to grasp it, then your effectiveness would be reduced. Therefore, the most important thing for a Mage is control, control of the situation and the entire battlefield.
This ability of control couldn't be gained by simple training. Only through grounded actual combat could one gain this ability.
Although Zhao Hai was satisfied with Sun Fei's progress, Sun Fei was still beginning to train. Therefore, he still fell short in some areas. The one in full control of the situation was still Zhao Hai.
This fight ended up quicker compared to the last. First was because Zhao Hai released more Undead. And Second, because Lizzy and the others were beginning to adapt themselves to fighting the bugs and were now more able to coordinate themselves.
When Xiong Li and the others felt that they were about to run out of energy, their battle had abruptly ended. They weren't able to foresee this, so as they killed bugs, they suddenly found out that there were no bugs to kill. They were stunned for a moment before they recovered when they saw that the Undead were already cleaning the battlefield.
When Xiong Li found out about this, he turned his head to Zhao Hai and gave a dissatisfied glare as he said, "Little Hai, can't you make your Undead slow down? I haven't killed enough bugs yet, and now they're all gone."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Boss Xiong, you're too complacent. You already look like you're going to die, but you still want to fight. But if you really have some energy left, you can head further in. There's a bug nest ahead with tens of thousands of bugs left to kill. Moreover, since its the interior of the nest, those bugs would be more frantic. I'm sure you can fight properly there."
When he heard Zhao Hai, Xiong Li waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I'm not that greedy. Let's just use the extra time to relax."
Dongfang Yu laughed and said, "Boss Xiong, you should go. Not only can I assure you that you can fight properly, you would also end up being bug poop. Hahaha. " Li Kuangren and the others laughed as well. Xiong Li didn't care and just laughed alongside them. They were brothers for life and death, these kinds of jokes were harmless for them.
While the Undead were cleaning the battlefield, Zhao Hai led the group back to a clean cave nearby. After they settled themselves down, Zhao Hai took out some dishes and said, "Let's take a rest here and wait until we fully recover. I estimate there to be about 60 thousand bugs in the bug nest. Since we're in the nest, those bugs would certainly go all out. Even if there are 10 thousand more bugs, we're still going to be fine. So we can relax here with no worries."
The group nodded. Since they trusted Zhao Hai, they didn't doubt his words. They took Zhao Hai's words as is.
Everyone took out their own bottle of wine and then opened it as they said, "Drink!" Then they all took a sip. Zhao Hai took out his finest liquor at this time. It's flavor was very pure, the taste was neat, and drinking it was satisfying.
After putting his bottle down, Zhao Hai looked at Lu Dingtian and said, "Old Lu, we brothers are going to establish our own base when we go back to the Machine Field. We'll be going on our own. Although we would still perform tasks, we would act independently. Are you interested in going with us?"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Lu Dingtian's eyes shone. Then he nodded and said, "Alright."
Zhao Hai didn't expect Lu Dingtian's answer. Most people from external halls wouldn't prefer working alone. Although being independent seems like the smart move, this also meant that you would lose the family's support. This was the same as leaving the family. Since you can no longer benefit the family, then there's no reason to support you. There would no longer be potions, weapons, armor, and other things. You would now need money in order to purchase them. These weren't easy things to aquire, one would need to complete multiple tasks in order to afford them.
But undergoing too many tasks would hamper one's cultivation. Therefore, not a lot of people would choose to leave. Although there was no freedom in the family, everyone knew about the saying 'leaning on a tree to enjoy the breeze'. Leaving the family meant leaving the tree and undertaking the difficulties outside this zone of comfort. Not everyone would have the courage to do this. However, Lu Dingtian didn't even hesitate. This truly was out of Zhao Hai's expectations.
Chapter 1236 – Attacking The Main Bug Nest
Not only Zhao Hai, Xiong Li and the others were also surprised. They looked at Lu Dingtian in puzzlement. They had known Zhao Hai for a long time, even long before the elimination round. On the other hand, Lu Dingtian had just recently joined their group. Agreeing to Zhao Hai's proposal that easily caused the others to feel that it was strange.
Xiong Li was a person who wouldn't withhold words, so he looked at Lu Dingtian and asked, "Old Lu, why did you accept Little Hai's proposal that easily?"
Li Dingtian gave a succinct answer, "I believe him." He always talked simply, as if saying one more word would cause him to waste a lot of energy.
However, when the others heard Lu Dingtian's words, their eyes couldn't help but brighten, then they all laughed. They raised the bottles and then took a huge drink.
After placing his bottle down, Zhao Hai looked at Xiong Li and the others and said, "Brothers, it has been some time since we've known each other. We're also used to each other's temperament. And since we're going together after the competition, I was thinking that we might as well become sworn brothers with different surnames."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Xiong Li and the others stared, then their expressions lit up. Xiong Li loudly agreed "Alright, then it's settled. What do you all think?"
"I agree!" "I agree!" "I agree!" "I agree!"
Seeing that everyone agrees, Zhao Hai couldn't help but laugh, then he said, "Alright, then there's no need to wait. Let's do it right now." He waved his hand and an additional table appeared in the cave. Zhao Hai waved once more, causing three bug legs to appear.
Zhao Hai looked at Xiong Li and the others and said, "Although I always bring food and drinks, I don't have the habit of bringing incense. Brothers, let's use these bug legs as incense. Is it fine if we use it to swear our brotherhood?"
Xiong Li laughed and said, "Of course its fine. The important thing is our conviction. Even if we use soil and leaves, we can still swear on our brotherhood. Let's do it."
Everyone knelt down before loudly expressing their oath, "With heaven as the witness, we brothers are willing to swear on each other. We shall be brothers of different surnames. We shall share sorrows and joys. We might not be born on the same day and year, but we swear to die together. With the heavens as the witness, we swear!"
After saying the oath, everyone kowtowed towards the table and then stood up. Everyone proceeded to assign names to each other. Xiong Li would be known as First Brother. Lu Dingtian will be Second Brother, Dongfang Yu will be Third Brother, Li Kuangren will be Fourth Brother, Zhao Hai will be Fifth Brother, and Sun Fei will be Sixth Brother.
Becoming sworn brothers made their relationship a layer closer. Zhao Hai received the table and then everyone ate and drank heavily. It was as if they weren't inside a dangerous cave system.
However, Zhao Hai and the others were modest people.. After drinking two bottles of liquor, they began to eat and chat for a while. Then they proceeded to take a rest. They had undergone two battles in a day, so Xiong Li and the others were very tired. When they lied down, they immediately snored loudly.
The reason why Xiong Li and the others dared to sleep like this was because they believed that Zhao Hai would take care of everything. Additionally, there were Undead guarding outside. This made them assured that they can sleep.
Zhao Hai also closed his eyes. He wasn't worried at all. The eight-legged bugs and the bug nest were under the Space's surveillance. It was impossible for them to be caught off-guard.
The eight-legged bug nest seemed to feel that it was in danger. The queen nest was desperately laying eggs. More and more eight-legged bugs were born. And just like Zhao Hai said, ten thousand bugs were born in one day. However, this would also damage the vitality of the nest. At this point, the queen could no longer give birth to so many bugs.
Zhao Hai and the others slept for about six hours. When they got up, they ate once more and then took a short break. At this time, Xiong Li said, "Little Hai, what do we do now? Are we going to attack the bug nest that you talked about?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Of course we will. After we deal with this bug nest, we can proceed to explore other areas. But at that time, we won't be hunting bugs, but people from the other realms."
When Xiong Li and the others heard this, they quickly knew what Zhao Hai wanted to do. Once they deal with the bug nest, then it's time to plunder other realms for their cultivation methods, especially the Cultivation Realm. They couldn't help but laugh loudly, as though the upcoming battles weren't a big deal.
Of course they weren't worried, Zhao Hai's Undead were too powerful. Moreover, the nest they would be attacking wasn't an advanced level nest. As long as Zhao Hai was willing, then he wouldn't need any help in dealing with the bugs. Therefore, Xiong Li and the others had nothing to worry about.
Zhao Hai also doesn't need to consider a lot of things in this attack. After two battles, Xiong Li and the others were able to adapt to their weapons. They wouldn't need to participate in the following battles.
When the time to attack the nest was close, Zhao Hai looked at Xiong Li and said, "Boss Xiong, are you still interested in fighting? If you're not, then I'll just clean them all up."
Xiong Li shook his head and said, "It's fine, we won't participate. In any case, I have already adapted to my new weapon. Also, fighting bugs is very boring, it's a waste of time. Right, Little Hai, when we have free time, you should refine Second Brother Lu's dagger-axe."
Zhao Hai nodded, "After dealing with the nest, we'll take a day off so that I can refine his weapon."
Then after he said that, Zhao Hai waved his hand, releasing Undead to attack the nest. Xiong Li and the others were no longer surprised with the number of Zhao Hai's Undead. They were also no longer interested to find out the exact amount of Undead. They were afraid that they would be depressed when they do.
Zhao Hai wasn't polite and directly released 100 thousand Undead to attack the eight-legged bugs. These Undead were added to the Undead already summoned before. This large number of Undead advanced towards the bug nest. He wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible.
However, just as the battle began, Zhao Hai was stunned. This wasn't because the eight-legged bugs had gotten stronger. These bugs were still insignificant in his eyes. What surprised him was the nest of the eight-legged bugs.
The nest of the eight-legged bugs was a giant organic ball about 20 meters in diameter. This ball had two tubes extending below. These two tubes were arranged so that it would excrete masses that would slowly form into eight-legged bugs after several minutes. These two tubes that usually pointed to the ground were now raised. When the bugs and the Undead began to clash, these tubes suddenly fired two clumps of meat moistened by some mucus.
When these two clumps of meat hit the Undead army, they suddenly exploded. The power of the explosion wasn't weak. Each explosion killed nearly a hundred Undead.
Seeing this happen, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. The bug nest had just developed defensive turrets. These turrets needed to be removed first, otherwise they would make dealing with the bugs very difficult.
When Xiong Li and the others saw Zhao Hai's expression change, they knew that something must have happened. Xiong Li immediately asked, "Little Hai, did something happen? Did anybody else arrive?" They were no longer afraid of the bugs. What they were afraid of were people from other realms. Therefore, Xiong Li asked this question.
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "No, I just encountered something tricky with the nest. I'll take care of it. Don't follow me, the situation is quite dangerous." Then Zhao Hai's figure moved as he entered the cave and then disappeared.
Xiong Li looked at Zhao Hai's departing back, his expression was ugly as he said, "Shit, I just swore that we would share sorrows. But now when things turn difficult, I can't do anything. I really hate that I'm weak."
Dongfang Yu forced a smile and said, "Come on, Boss XIong, this makes me even more embarrassed. I'm now a Cultivator, but I still can't do anything. Let's just wait for Little Hai here, I'm sure he can take care of it. When this competition is over, we can work hard so that we can help Little Hai. Otherwise, this would really leave a bad taste in our mouths."
The others bitterly nodded, nobody said anything else. After swearing on their brotherhood, they were now of the same family. In this case, they can only watch Zhao Hai's battle. Weirdly enough, this thought made them feel better.
However, Zhao Hai didn't take in mind what Xiong Li and the others were thinking right now. The metal bombs that the bug nest fired were really powerful. If Xiong Li and the others came, and a bomb finds its way to them, then they won't have any strength to block it.
To be honest, Zhao Hai didn't expect the bug nest to have this kind of offensive ability.
Upon appearing in the bug nest, Zhao Hai ignored the eight-legged bugs and immediately flew towards the nest itself. Upon discovering Zhao Hai, the nest immediately readjusted the two tubes and aimed towards him. Then it fired several balls of meat one after another.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and released a 50-layer formation. Several fire dragons emerged and then met the balls of explosive meat.
After several loud explosions, no bombs were able to reach Zhao Hai. Each bomb was detonated by the fire dragons. Zhao Hai used this time to appear above the organic mass that is the core of the nest.
The organic mass probably felt danger as it immediately aimed its tubes to Zhao Hai once more. Zhao Hai smiled faintly as he waved his hand, causing a spatial rift to appear. Then the rift moved downwards, swallowing the organic mass as well as the eight-legged bugs nearby.
Zhao Hai discovered that the eight-legged bug's queen nest cannot move at all. In addition to birthing eight-legged bugs, its only action was launching those meat bombs. Neither of these methods were able to protect itself from Zhao Hai.
Once the queen nest was taken away by Zhao Hai, the eight-legged bugs lost their final support. However, the bugs continued fighting, but this time there was no longer any threat towards the Undead.
Zhao Hai relaxed and then shifted his attention towards the bug queen nest inside the Space. At this time, the nest was still inside the Space's storage. With an intention, Zhao Hai caused the nest to appear inside an empty background.
As soon as the queen nest appeared, a prompt was heard, "Low-level bug queen nest detected. This nest can only produce low-level bugs. It can absorb a small amount of gene material to improve bug's combat power. However, this improvement is very limited and will still result in low combat power. It is recommended that the host transforms this nest into a meat bug farm. Once the transformation is done, meat bugs will be produced. These bugs have low combat power but they have delicious meat. Will the host transform the nest?"
When he saw the result, Zhao Hai couldn't help but bitterly smile. He didn't expect the Space to suggest something like this. Not to mention this suggestion was actually good.
Presently, there were a lot of demand for meat in the Space. Since the reproductive ability of this nest was very good, if he can produce shrimp and crabs from it, then it would definitely be a good choice.
In any case, the nest was low-level and the fighting strength it possesses wasn't very strong. Moreover, the Space has no need for eight-legged bugs right now. It was much better if it was transformed into a meat farm.
With this thought in mind, Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Transform it." The Space's prompt was heard, "Host has agreed to transform the nest to a meat bug farm. Transformation will immediately begin. Asking the Host to wait for a moment."
A beep sounded before white light surrounded the queen nest. After a while, the white light disappeared. The nest reappeared on the ground. When Zhao Hai saw the nest, he couldn't help but gawk at it. It looked much better and much larger than its previous form. It was now a huge ball about 50 meters in diameter. What surprised him the most was the exterior of the ball. It no longer looked like it was made with organic matter. Instead, the ball had a carapace that flashed with metallic light. It now looked like a huge metal ball.
Below this metal ball were eight tubes. The diameter of these tubes was about a meter. The color and texture of these tubes were the same as the metal ball.
But Zhao Hai knew that even if the ball looked like it was made of metal, it wasn't metallic in nature-just a resemblance. As Zhao Hai looked at the metal ball, he said, "Cai'er."
Cai'er whizzed beside Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, what's the matter?"
Zhao Hai gestured towards the nest and said, "Take a look. This thing is supposed to produce meat bugs. Find out what it needs and also find a way to control the amount of bugs produced. But first, let's produce a batch and have a taste. It would be useless if it tastes bad."
