89: Evolution of sporozoa

Ye Wu looked at the ‘Young Master’ before him, filled with despair.

He couldn't believe what would happen if this monstrous ‘Young Master’ returned to the Ye family.

"They're all yours," Song Yun said with a smile, reverting to his original form.

As expected, both of them were full.

As expected of a Dongxuan Realm Fifth Layer, it actually provided 300,000 life force. These few combined for over 500,000 life force, which wasn't bad.

However, for the current Zerg army, it was a drop in the bucket. They would need 1,000 Dongxuan Realm Fifth Layer cultivators to make a noticeable difference.

They couldn't be found in these Three Barbarians; they would certainly have to search the mainland in the future.

To be honest, these Ancient Ruins were indeed a bit poor.

Of course, for those below the Wanxiang Realm, it still held some attraction, but for the Zerg, it was useless. No matter how powerful a treasure, it couldn't compare to the directness of genetic evolution.

"My King, do you need to clear out the people in the ruins?" Liu Shuangji respectfully inquired.

Song Yun shook his head: "This number of people is too small. They've already killed most of each other anyway."

"This subordinate was overthinking."

Song Yun reached out and held Liu Shuangji's hand, smiling: "It's alright, as my subordinate, you are excellent."

Held in the King's hand, Liu Shuangji blushed slightly, the fresh blood on her lips appearing exceptionally enchanting.

With his other hand, he held Liu Shuangjiao, who was standing beside him, making it a double grab.

"I know there's a rift between you two. As fellow disciples, you should be honest with each other. Let this King eliminate the rift between you."

Meanwhile, Qian Duo led the people from the Holy Gate to search for treasures, and they actually found a cave beneath the yellow sand.

"Everyone, split up and search," Qian Duo ordered.

"Yes! Chief Qian."

Everyone dispersed. Ying Han naturally stayed with Zhong Xue.

The temperature inside the cave had dropped significantly. The two walked as if strolling, but neither spoke.

"Senior Brother," Zhong Xue suddenly called out.

Ying Han was startled. Zhong Xue hadn't called him that in a long time. The resentment in his heart instantly dissipated, and he smiled: "What's wrong, Junior Sister? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"Thank you."

Ying Han was confused: "Junior Sister, why are you suddenly saying such things?"

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for taking care of me all these years."

Looking at Zhong Xue's expression, Ying Han couldn't quite grasp a woman's thoughts: "That's what I should do, don't worry about it."

"I remember you once said that if we encountered danger, you would die for me. Is that true?"

Ying Han looked at Zhong Xue in surprise, then smiled and agreed: "Of course. Don't worry, with me here, Chief Qian won't make things difficult for you."

"You can't go back on your word." Zhong Xue suddenly revealed a gentle smile, which made Ying Han's heart blossom. He hadn't felt this way in a long time.

Junior Sister smiled at him.

However, in the next second, Ying Han's smile froze.

Countless insects surged out from under Junior Sister's skirt, instantly covering the surrounding stone walls and spreading in all directions.

Watching the tiny insects crawl onto his face, Ying Han tried to move but found he couldn't control his limbs, and even the spiritual energy within his body couldn't circulate.

"Junior Sister?" Ying Han called out, looking at Zhong Xue in confusion, as if wanting to know why this was happening, why there were so many insects.

"Senior Brother, you shouldn't have come."

Just as Ying Han was about to speak, his mouth suddenly opened, and the insects seemed to find an entrance, all rushing into Ying Han's mouth. The sight was shocking, unbearable for anyone with trypophobia.

Suddenly, Ying Han could move again. He knelt weakly on the ground, spitting frantically, but he couldn't spit out the insects.

But by this time, the surface of his eyeballs was already covered by insects, and insects could be seen wriggling under his skin.

"Junior Sister..." Ying Han's vision went black. He stretched out his hand and called out.

But the flesh on his arms fell off one after another, and his bones began to grow strangely, forming sharp spines, like tree branches.

"Senior Brother, haven't you always wanted to be with me? This is just a different way, and it won't hurt in a moment."

"Ah!"

Amidst a tragic scream, Ying Han's abdomen tore open from the middle, revealing a head that slowly rose, connecting to the spinal column, while Ying Han himself was like a discarded husk of skin and flesh.

If anyone were watching, their guts would be scared out of them.

However, this was the Spore Bug's evolutionary ability. Not only could it release a massive number of insects, but the insects also possessed offensive capabilities. After parasitism, it could choose to hatch three Sixth-Order creatures, and this was an ability evolved from a Sixth-Order creature, clearly allowing for a stronger method of parasitism.

It was simply terrifying.

The current Ying Han was two and a half meters tall, his arms maintaining hands, but also wings. To be precise, they were blood wings.

At this moment, a figure flew over rapidly. It was Qian Duo, with a swarm of rushing insects behind him, like a tidal wave that couldn't be killed off.

When he saw a monster standing beside Zhong Xue, Qian Duo roared: "What are you standing there for? Run!"

"Ying Han" squatted slightly and charged forward fiercely. His speed was so fast that Qian Duo instinctively dodged.

But an arm fell to the ground and was instantly devoured by the insects.

Qian Duo looked at his wound in disbelief and immediately tried to stop the bleeding, but he couldn't.

How was this possible!

Looking at the monster before him, Qian Duo was furious: "Zhong Xue! Are you crazy! Aren't you going to help!"

Suddenly, several more screams came from within the cave.

They were the other Holy Gate experts. Although not as strong as Qian Duo, a Dongxuan Realm Fifth Layer, they were also at the First or Second Layer, and their strength could not be ignored.

But facing this tsunami-like swarm of insects, which were also incredibly fast, a single touch meant death. This was simply defying the heavens.

Song Yun had originally thought that while Spore Bugs were decent, their evolved forms shouldn't be too strong.

But looking at the current situation, these Spore Bugs could even destroy a sect.

Truly worthy of being the Zerg Saintess.

In an instant, several more blood-winged insects arrived, surrounding Qian Duo.

Each one was Sixth-Order, far stronger than those small flying insects. Sixth-Order was the beginning of a qualitative change.

Qian Duo gasped for breath. Were these Ancient Ferocious Beasts?

How could there be so many!

There was nothing here when he first arrived. What on earth happened?

Qian Duo's gaze fell on Zhong Xue, who was standing nearby. He suddenly noticed that these Ancient Ferocious Beasts didn't attack her?

"Chief Qian, it's not too foolish. It's exactly what you're thinking."

Qian Duo's eyes narrowed: "How is that possible! You are only at the Myriad Manifestation Realm Peak, how could you control Ancient Ferocious Beasts!"

"Heh, Ancient Ferocious Beasts? The one in the middle is Ying Han, and these few beside him are your loyal subordinates."

"You! Who exactly are you?!" Qian Duo roared. The Saintess must have died long ago, and this person was definitely not her!

Suddenly, Zhong Xue slowly bent her knees and prostrated herself on the ground.

The blood-winged insects did the same.

Qian Duo was astonished. What was going on!

A wormhole suddenly opened in the void. Qian Duo was incredibly shocked. Had he stumbled into a nest of Ancient Ferocious Beasts!

Qian Duo saw a tall figure, with two slender figures beside him.

"Chief Qian, hello."

The wormhole dissipated. Qian Duo stared blankly at the... Ancient Ferocious Beasts before him.
