14: Brood Will

Hoo-ch ~

Hoo-ch ~

Heavy panting echoed throughout the area, as large numbers of Infected and Hunters converged, engaging in fierce battles, with the victors often devouring the corpses of the defeated to achieve further evolution!

Moreover, the danger on Li An’s side was gradually approaching; the myriad tentacles he had previously released were now being heavily impacted and destroyed by a large number of Infected. In the depths of their consciousness, the Mother Nest Will continued to influence them, urging them to kill Li An as quickly as possible.

For a time, the interior of the Mother Nest was in chaos, filled with slaughter and the most primal acts of feeding. Streams of dark black blood flowed, and a dangerous aura silently spread.

Roar!

Dozens of Hunters were fighting chaotically. Already incomplete, their heads contained only the consciousness of slaughter. Any existence that exuded a dangerous aura was an enemy, a target!

Therefore, large-scale battles were inevitable. Hunters would constantly bite and fiercely attack each other, ultimately fighting to the last one driven by instinct.

“This scene before me seems a bit familiar.”

Deep within the dense tentacles, Li An felt the gradually filling power within his body, watching the Hunters fighting each other not far away. He vaguely sensed traces of danger, especially when his gaze fell upon two Hunters whose body shapes were already changing; he felt as if a dangerous existence was being born!

Hunter Leader!

Li An’s eyes darkened slightly. Familiar with the plot, he naturally knew what Hunters would evolve into, but only one Hunter Leader would be born in a given area. They possessed higher intelligence, stronger power, and faster speed than Hunters, and could even control Hunters to fight for them!

And this was the Hunter Leader!

“That guy is also a trouble; he will bring me many uncertainties.”

In an instant, a fierce glint erupted in Li An’s eyes. He could not allow a Hunter Leader to be born so easily. He had to eliminate any Hunter that might evolve into a Hunter Leader in its cradle.

Thinking of this, Li An continued his actions. His myriad tentacles had killed hundreds of Infected and a dozen Hunters. He still had one last batch of Infected and Hunter corpses that had not been devoured. As a reddish gas enveloped the corpses, they turned into droplets.

Several seconds later, this last batch of corpses also transformed into energy that strengthened Li An, which he swallowed.

At this moment, his attributes finally saw a phased increase, reaching a new height.

...At this moment, Li An’s initial goal in coming to the Mother Nest was finally achieved, but it was not enough. He still wanted to gain more, so he turned his gaze towards the Infected and Hunters blocked by the tentacles not far away.

Bang bang bang!

The next second, Li An raised his hand and pointed at the tentacles in front of him. These tentacles immediately fell from the air like shattered stones, plummeting to the ground. These tentacles were released by him, and naturally, they would be dissolved by him.

The sudden dissolution of the tentacles naturally caused a stir, but it was not a big problem. Neither the Infected nor the Hunters would ponder why the tentacle barrier disintegrated. In the instant the tentacle barrier dissolved, the Infected and Hunters were attracted by Li An’s figure standing in place.

It was the Mother Nest Will. As Li An actively revealed himself, the Mother Nest Will, in order to quickly eliminate Li An, the enemy attempting to destroy the Mother Nest, immediately forcibly controlled the consciousness of all creatures present, making them attack Li An.

Clang!

In an instant, Li An, sensing the change in the atmosphere on the field, showed no fear. On the contrary, under his will, his arms were immediately wrapped and covered by tactile biological tentacles, transforming into sharp gauntlets.

Facing the current situation, bladed arms could not handle close-quarters enemies very well. Only gauntlets, weapons that covered the forearms, could cope with the current situation of numerous enemies requiring flexible and varied tactics.

Roar!

Just then, the moment the gauntlets had just enveloped Li An’s arms, a dozen Infected rushed forward with terrifying speed exceeding that of ordinary people, followed closely by larger Hunters, all attacking Li An together.

“Seeking Death.”

Seeing this, Li An let out a low growl, then his figure transformed into a blur and darted out. When he reappeared, his large hand directly slammed onto the head of an Infected, and the immense force instantly crushed the Infected’s head, causing blood to splatter.

One-hit kill!

Immediately, Li An did not hesitate. He grabbed the headless corpse in his hand and threw it forward, instantly knocking several charging Infected to the ground. But just then, the remaining Infected and Hunters finally reached Li An, their incredibly putrid breath almost reaching Li An’s face.

Li An immediately sidestepped and kicked out, sending a Hunter that was pouncing from the air flying. Then, using his terrifying speed, he directly grabbed an Infected by the neck and swept it around, once again knocking down a large number of Infected.

But it was not enough; this kind of damage was clearly insufficient to kill them.

So Li An continued his actions, his hands, covered in sharp gauntlets, constantly piercing into the hearts of Infected and the necks of Hunters. Relying on his powerful individual strength, almost every Infected and Hunter that came into contact with Li An had no power to resist and was directly crushed by him.

At the same time, biological tentacles also extended from Li An’s back, wrapping around the corpses of the Infected and Hunters he had killed, and began to automatically devour them!

It could be said that Li An’s strength was increasing every minute and second at this moment. Although not massive, it was constantly growing, and the reason for all this was that his battle was still ongoing and had not stopped.

Patches of dark black blood flew everywhere, tracing arc after arc in the air, finally falling to the ground.

Roar!

On the other side, the two Hunters Li An had paid special attention to earlier were now constantly resisting the Mother Nest Will. They did not want to face Li An, who exuded a dangerous aura; they only wanted to devour their own kind, following their instinctive feeding behavior.

And having already devoured many of their kind, they had evolved into complete bodies, and had even made significant progress in their complete body evolution, possessing intelligence close to that of a Hunter Leader. It was just that the accumulation of quantity was not yet enough, preventing them from taking that final step.

Kill! Kill that human!!!

However, the Mother Nest Will kept echoing in their minds, trying to drive them to kill Li An. But the two Hunters, who had already developed rudimentary intelligence, when they sensed the extremely dangerous aura emanating from Li An, how could they dare to actively seek Death? Thus, the two Hunters began to actively resist the Mother Nest Will.
