Seeing that the other party still didn't quite understand, Ackerman explained, "The forest canopy is too dense, and the harpies flying high in the sky can't completely penetrate those leaves with their X-ray vision. So, in order to get a clearer view, they have to descend, which gives the enemy an opportunity to attack."

Ackerman glanced back at the soldiers attending the meeting and said, "The soldiers who can perform reconnaissance missions this time are only werewolves, lizardmen, dark elves, and some other small species."

Randall told Ackerman, "We're ready and can begin the mission at any time."

The latter nodded, gave a few instructions to his adjutant, and personally led Randall and his men toward the armory.

As soon as I stepped into the warehouse, a pungent and foul odor hit me.

Looking at the spherical creatures floating in the huge, blood-red pond before him, Randall asked, "These... are they all spore parasites?"

Ackerman said without turning his head, "This is just the first spore pool. There are two more identical breeding pools in the other two directions."

"Previously, we had to use refrigeration to transport spores. Thanks to the research of the Muxi scholars, we can now breed these insects on-site in the military camp."

After passing through three checkpoints, Ackerman led Randall and his men into a huge warehouse.

Thousands of towering glass culture tanks were neatly arranged side by side. The roar of the machines and the sound of the liquid flowing forced people to raise their voices to talk.

Ackerman said loudly to Randall, "You should be familiar with these things."

Gazing at the enormous parasite floating in the culture tank, Randall murmured, "Dragon bone."

"The dragon bones here have all been enhanced by the Tyrant, and loaded with the Hive Insect Body Module and the Berserk Insect Body Module."

Barbara looked at the writhing parasite in the glass with disgust and said, "You have to wear this for a mission?"

Randall gently stroked the glass and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've worn this armor."

Aldenan scratched the back of his head and asked the lizardman Kellogg, "I heard that wearing this thing is extremely painful?"

Kellogg clasped his claws together and said devoutly, "Consider this pain as a blessing from the Dragon God."
