Chapter 276: Chapter 212: Deadly ck Fog! Egg is Hatching?


    Niu Jin Dao looked around in shock, gazing at the faint blue glow on his body, even reaching out to touch it.


    “Don’t space out! The Alien Beasts areing!”


    Zheng Cheng’s voice echoed, prompting an immediate response from everyone.


    They were in the midst of the ck fog now!


    “Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak…..”


    Raspy noises suddenly pierced the enveloping darkness around them.


    The visibility within this fog was very low, limited to just over ten meters.


    Suddenly, out of the concealment of the fog in the distance, ck-skinned worms, each over half a man’s height, began to rush forward.


    “Form up!”


    Niu Jin Dao shouted, and his ten men immediately sprang to action.


    Three of them stepped forward, their shields forming a triangr formation.


    The remaining seven slightly retreated, still relying on their shields for protection at both sides, with their long knives hidden at their backs.


    The formation of the ten men was akin to a charge formation, prepared for the onught of the ck-skinned worms!


    This was the result of their years of fighting experience: shield protecting oneself from alien beasts’ onught, and striking the beasts through the gaps in the shields.


    Just as they braced themselves for the iing tide of alien beasts, instead, they heard the anguished screams of these creatures.


    Niu Jin Dao instinctively looked up, only to see the ck fog in the distance roiling, asionally echoing with the shrieks of the ck-skinned worms and the sound of ripping flesh.


    In front of them, at a distance of three to four meters,y a horde of ck-skinned worm corpses.


    There were at least seven or eight!


    “Wha, what is…”


    “Captain! What’s going on?”


    “Is it our lord?”


    “Quick! Keep up!”


    Niu Jin Dao shouted, prompting his men to pick up their shields and start to move following the trail of ck-skinned worm bodies.


    All the way, the ground was littered with ck worm corpses.


    Most of them had their heads severed or had been split in half.


    Some had a massive footprint stomped onto their bodies, arge section crushed and trampled upon.


    Niu Jin Dao and his men sported increasingly bizarre expressions, seeing so many bodies—corpses, corpses, and more corpses!


    All along, they witnessed tens of ck worm corpses!


    Their faces expressed shock and disbelief.


    Soon, the roiling of the fog ahead intensified, the sounds of the ck worms’ shrieks and the tearing of flesh bing ever more obvious.


    Through a haze, Niu Jin Dao and his men could see Zheng Cheng’s silhouette. He was wielding his long knife, engaging inbat amongst a pack of dozens of ck-skinned worms.


    The long knife in his hands was flitting up and down. With each swing, a ck worm was cut to pieces.


    He kicked out, sending another ck worm flying.


    Under the attack of Zheng Cheng alone, dozens of worms were unable to advance, continuously leaving behind rigid and trembling corpses.


    One man blocking a pass, and no ten thousand can pass through, just as the saying goes!


    Seeing the fog ahead roiling again, Niu Jin Dao quickly charged forward, “Quick! Block them!”


    Ten men stepped forward, beginning to ughter the surrounding ck worms.


    All of them were two-star soldiers, and dealing with these one-star ck worms didn’t put them under any pressure.


    They held their shields up against the worms and continuously cut them down with their tempered knives.


    Their current location was a valley. All inside were ck worms while twisted peaks and dense forests surrounded them.


    The eleven soldiers, led by Zheng Cheng as their spearhead and Niu Jin Dao and others following up in order, continuously shed away.


    An hourter, their path ahead started bing narrower.


    Meanwhile, behind them, a spacious road began to appear.


    As the ck worms upying here were all killed, the ck fog was blocked at both sides and couldn’t approach them.


    It was like uncovering the fog of war.


    As long as Zheng Cheng and others had investigated a ce, the fog of war there would dissipate!


    “Stop!”


    Zheng Cheng suddenly raised his hand, signaling Niu Jin Dao and others to halt.


    Through his Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique, he saw a huge number of alien beasts within a hundred-meter radius ahead, still alive.


    Two-star Alien Beasts, ck Armor Worms!


    But for some reason, they all stayed put, withoutunching any attacks on them.


    Zheng Cheng guessed that it probably had something to do with the rules of this secret realm.


    The ck worms were the first wave of alien beasts, and the ck Armor Worms were the second wave.


    He had been killing the first wave of ck worms, even though he’d been the one initiating the attacks.


    But as long as they didn’t approach the range of the two-star ck armor Worms, they wouldn’t attack!


    That meant…


    He had advanced and killed off the power of the first wave of one-star ck worms on the west side beforehand!


    “Lord?”


    Niu Jin Dao, panting heavily, looked quizzically at Zheng Cheng.


    “Ahead is the territory of the two-star ck Armor Worms. As long as we don’t approach, they won’t attack us.”


    Zheng Chengmanded: “Everyone rest here. Send one person back home and tell Chen Zhong and Zhang San to bring people to move all these ck worm corpses back home!”


    “Yes! Lord!”


    Niu Jin Dao immediately replied. Shortly after, one man left the team and hurried back home at full speed.


    The rest stayed in ce to rest.


    Zheng Cheng gazed at the numerous bodies around him: “This round of raid eliminated all the one-star ck worms on the west side, around three hundred or so.”


    “I wonder how many resources so many ck worms would yield.”


    Before long, Chen Zhong leading supply soldiers and Zhang San leadingbourers arrived.


    A nce at the bodies strewn around left them in shock.


    “My Lord…”


    Zheng Cheng ordered: “All the bodies to be transported back to our home. By the way, how is our home doing?”


    Chen Zhong quickly replied: “My Lord, we experienced a fresh wave of attack a quarter hour ago only on the east, south, and north directions. We sessfully held them back.”


    “Hmm, well done,” replied Zheng Cheng, nodding, “Transport these bodies back home at full speed, don’t miss any!”


    “Yes! Lord!”


    Soon, all twenty-seven people sprang into action, utilizing carts brought by the supply soldiers to move the corpses.


    Half a dayter, all the corpses had been transported back to the homnd.


    Meanwhile, Zheng Cheng was continuously applying the random dissection technique to each corpse.


    In this battle, a total of 120 hearts of ck-skinned worms were dissected and distributed evenly among all the soldiers present.


    Resources: 550 units of iron ore, 45 units of life crystals, 22 units of space crystals.


    With these life crystals, he summoned 13 supply troops once again!


    It was a pity that there were too few space crystals, otherwise, he would have liked to upgrade the homnd to LV3.


    Besides, 15 sets of turret construction blueprints and 4 fence construction blueprints were also dropped.


    The fence construction blueprint can be used to build a fence to protect the homnd, and can continue to be upgraded, gradually bing the wall to guard the entire homnd!


    Gathering all 50 types of soldiers together, Zheng Cheng ordered, “Yang Hou’er continues to lead the bowmen andborers to garrison the homnd, while the rest of the troops follow me into the ck mist!”


    Having gone through the previous battle, people like Niu Jindao have no doubt about Zheng Cheng’s strength.


    Subsequently, thirty-one men stepped into the ck fog again, heading towards the west, marching towards the direction of the two-star soldier type, the ck-armored worm.


    “Charge!”


    At Zheng Cheng’smand, all thirty men rushed into the territory of the ck armored worms.


    Leading the charge was still Zheng Cheng!


    The swarms of ck-armored worms also charged out when they detected Zheng Cheng and his men’s aggression.


    Comparatively, these worms were very simr to the ck-skinned worms.


    The difference is that ayer of hard armor had grown on the back of the ck-armored worms.


    When people like Niu Jindao shed at them, they could only cut out a white mark.


    At least three shes are needed to kill them.


    But Zheng Cheng’s Yunxiao Sword was a divine weapon, and it could easily y the ck-armored worms.


    One sweep of the sword, and the ck armored worm was easily in, posing no threat at all to Zheng Cheng.


    So under Zheng Cheng’s leadership, the thirty-man team advanced to the entrance of the valley without any casualty.


    A swarm of ck-armored worms came rushing up, and people like Niu Jindao were immediately engaged in a tough fight.


    Once Zheng Cheng applied the Adrenaline Excitement Technique, everyone regained their vigor.


    Ten minutester, the effect duration of the Adrenaline Excitement Technique ended, and Zheng Cheng killed thest ck armored worm.


    The ck fog surged, and this area became a safe territory under Zheng Cheng’s upation.


    “Supply troops take all alien beast bodies back to the homnd; everyone else takes rest on the spot!”


    Zheng Cheng ordered, “Also, search around for flowers.”


    “Flowers?”


    Chen Zhong was full of confusion, but faithfully chose to carry out Zheng Cheng’s task.


    Zheng Cheng began to inspect the location of the valley entrance. On both sides were steep cliffs, and the diameter of the entrance was only over thirty meters.


    Outside was rolling ck fog, and in Zheng Cheng’s Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique, arge number of three-star alien beasts, colorful spiders, were moving not far ahead.


    In the sky, there were even more three-star alien beasts: blood-sucking giant mosquitoes!


    The three-star alien beasts they would encounter next came in two varieties.


    “The three-star alien species include the flying troops, the blood-sucking giant mosquitoes; the key to defeating them is the arrow tower! Or other stronger ranged troops, special buildings.”


    Zheng Cheng pondered. At that moment, Chen Zhong suddenly ran over, “My lord! We found a new construction blueprint!”


    “Oh?”


    Zheng Cheng took a look at it and said with a slight brightening in his eyes, “Is this… a cksmith shop construction blueprint?”


    [Name: cksmith Shop Construction Blueprint]


    [Attribute: Production Building]


    [Construction Time: 1 hour]


    [Description: After use, a cksmith shop can be constructed, including one cksmith and two cksmith apprentices, for the research of weapons and armor.]


    [Required Resources: Iron Ore*50, Wood*20, Space Crystal*3]


    [Function: Once the construction is sessful, basic weapons and armor can be forged. With weapon blueprints, stronger weapons can also be researched.]


    [Description: A construction blueprint for a normal cksmith shop, a production building that greatly enhances the overallbat power of an army. Very important.]


    “cksmith shop?”


    Zheng Cheng’s eyes shed, and without any hesitation, he said, “Good job, we’ll start building the cksmith shop when we get back!”


    “Yes, sir!”


    He put away the cksmith shop, and at this moment, Zheng Cheng suddenly felt a faint fluctuation in his mind.


    Hmm? What’s this…?


    He subconsciously opened the space ring and started searching inside.


    Soon, his expression became peculiar as he waved his hand and arge… egg, which was taller than a person, appeared before Zheng Cheng’s eyes.


    There were two eggs in his space ring. The first one was stolen from a ck Sludge Fishman in the Morea Mine.


    ording to Tian Dao’s prompt, it was an egg of the ‘Ancient Coral Race’, which had not hatched till now.


    He had long forgotten about it, and hadn’t even tried to find out more in the school library.


    And the second egg was a reward from Xin Ruhuo on the Radiated Ind.


    It was an alien beast egg that was worshipped by the natives at the foot of the holy mountain, incubated by nuclear radiation and volcanoes!


    “Chirping~~”


    Suddenly, he heard a faint sound in his ear, which wasing from this alien beast egg from the Radiated Ind.


    Zheng Cheng wondered, “Hmm? There’s movement, is it going to hatch?”


    This sound was not only heard by Zheng Cheng.


    Under the influence of this faint aura, it was also heard by another species in this world.


    Billions of kilometers away from Zheng Cheng’s homnd, countless gigantic creatures were swimming.


    Some of them were like rhinos wearing armor, some had hundreds of segmented bodies, and others had dozens of transparent wings fluttering.


    Others grew fleshy wings, were surrounded by lightning, and had hundreds of diamond-likepound eyes on their heads.


    These were… Alien Beasts!


    The faint sound traveled far and wide, and was finally heard by a mountain-sized alien beast at the heart of numerous alien beasts.


    On its back, it grew hundreds of pairs of fleshy wings, hundreds of pairs of transparent wings, and numerouspound eyes. It was a horrifying creature with countless tentacles beneath it.


    Its countless eyes suddenly opened at this moment, sternly staring at the direction where the sound wasing from.


    A rapid sound came from its mouth.


    “Zzz… Zzz… Zzz…”


    “My race, my race’s child, my race’s future… I can feel it!”


    Cross… cross the world barrier, bring… bring it back…!


    “Bring it back!!!”
