172: On the eve of the war

Li An did not stay put, waiting for Eveleth to leave.

After the Caesar Clan were reduced to just her, the Caesar Family would definitely find a way to bring her back from the Mars World, and it was unknown what kind of people the Caesar Family would send.

Currently, Li An had no intention of meeting the Caesar Clan; at least for now, their strengths were not on equal footing.

After all, he was an individual, while the Caesar Family was a massive clan!

At the same time, as Eveleth's partner, he had no need to meet other Caesar Clan, as he was merely Eveleth's partner.

Soon, following the path he had taken to arrive, Li An quickly found the Zerg swarm led by the Overlord Zerg.

Now, with the Scavenger mission completed, most of his missions upon entering this world were done; only the main quest remained, and what he needed to do now was to complete the main quest.

Upon returning to the Zerg swarm, Li An first checked the current number of Zerg the swarm possessed.

Because of the previous tribal war, although the Overlord Zerg had converted some Zerg to its command, more Zerg had become nourishment for the evolution of its subordinate Zerg.

Therefore, currently, the Zerg swarm numbered around 1.5 million.

This number actually exceeded the scale of a Zerg tribe, but compared to a Zerg Kingdom, it was still somewhat lacking.

One must know.

A Zerg Kingdom.

That was a terrifying force with at least five million Zerg, and most importantly, Kingdom-level Zerg forces had the formidable power to command Zerg tribes.

It could be said that as long as a Kingdom gave an order, all tribes living within a thousand miles of that Kingdom would instantly mobilize and gather towards the Kingdom.

Therefore, it was foreseeable that once Li An attacked a Kingdom, it would be no different from poking a hornet's nest!

"Continue to wage war."

Li An could access the Overlord Zerg's consciousness, so he naturally understood the difference between his current forces and a Kingdom.

Thus, after learning the current number of Zerg in the swarm, he directly conveyed the command to the Overlord Zerg to continue the war.

Woo~

In an instant, upon receiving Li An's command, the Overlord Zerg's body, which had been sitting in the center of the formation, immediately stood up and let out a long howl towards the dim sky.

From the Overlord Zerg's memories, Li An had already selected the Kingdom target to destroy; it was the overlord of this region.

The Origin Kingdom!

This was a Zerg force that had never appeared in the Martian Xenomorph series; no one knew how strong this force was, but it could be imagined that it must be powerful and mysterious!

Therefore, to be fully prepared, Li An still needed to accumulate strength, and his growth was far from reaching its limit; he could still become stronger, even much stronger!

So war was an inevitable course of action.

However, they had to act quickly; the Origin Kingdom was not foolish, and they would eventually detect the abnormal situation of the Zerg tribes; if they waited for the Origin Kingdom to react, but they had not yet dealt with those Zerg tribes.

Then a huge danger would backfire, even destroying them.

So for this war, Li An had made another preparation: he needed the Overlord Zerg to become stronger, more aggressive, and more capable of growth.

To this end, Li An unhesitatingly condensed a blood bead; what could be more growth-oriented than a spirit body evolved from a Blood Demon Spirit?

The answer was nothing!

So Li An had the Overlord Zerg swallow this drop of blood bead; after swallowing the blood bead, the Overlord Zerg did not undergo a peak transformation this time, but its growth rate and direction became even more terrifying.

The spirit body born from the Overlord Zerg possessed the characteristic of allowing its subordinate Zerg to continuously and autonomously devour; that is, if they were not under the Overlord Zerg's jurisdiction, they would autonomously devour living beings to make themselves stronger.

This was extremely terrifying, meaning that the Overlord Zerg and the Zerg it led had completely exceeded the scope of the Zerg race; their evolutionary direction had become unknown and terrifying.

"Divide them."

"Annihilate all Zerg tribes before the Origin Kingdom reacts!"

When the Overlord Zerg derived its own spirit body, Li An looked up at the high sky, and a low murmur sounded from his mouth.

That's right.

To avoid attracting the attention of the Origin Kingdom, Li An immediately decided to have the Overlord Zerg divide its forces; since the Zerg in the swarm could be endowed with the devouring characteristic, he would release them and let them grow freely!

Li An was actually well aware of what his actions regarding the devouring characteristic would bring, but it didn't matter; this was not his world, nor was it the human race's world; this was Mars!

It was the world of the Zerg!

What did the state of that world have to do with him?

All he had to do now was complete the main quest.

At the same time!

To ensure the success of this operation, Li An would also personally take action this time; although the power gap between him and the Zerg was too great, which meant he would gain very few attribute points through devouring, quantity leads to qualitative change!

Li An wanted to become stronger, and currently, he could only achieve this through such means.

Unless he could obtain objects containing powerful energy for him to devour.

Finally, Li An separated from the Overlord Zerg again; he needed to find targets alone, to continue his previous battles, that is, one person challenging one Zerg tribe.

Three days later!

Li An stood in the ruins of a tribe that looked like a wasteland; this tribe seemed to have experienced some war, and everything he saw was scarred and desolate.

However, looking at these scenes before him, Li An's face was exceptionally cold.

He was the perpetrator of these ruins; he had slaughtered this tribe, turning everyone in this Zerg tribe into the energy nourishment he needed, but even so, he had only increased his attribute points by a few dozen.

This was too terrifying!

To this day, the attribute power Li An possessed was gradually approaching the sequence limit, but because he was developing four attributes, the speed of his improvement was significantly slowed down.

But even so, he was still improving little by little, and in this process, his physique was still getting stronger; although slow, Li An could feel that his physique was becoming increasingly terrifying.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Li An looked at the tragic state of the tribe before him, his heart without a ripple.

This was already the fourth tribe he had slaughtered; Li An realized that continuing the slaughter no longer seemed to have much effect on his strength improvement.

If he wanted to continue to improve his strength, perhaps he could only go there.

After all, the attribute points provided by the current Zerg tribes gave a feeling that the effort did not match the reward.
