"Lost their minds?" Su Bai stepped forward and asked, "Are there many of them?"

“There are so many! When they encounter a swarm of insects, instead of fleeing, they launch a suicidal charge.”

Kerrigan stood in front of Su Bai and spoke quickly.

Upon hearing this, Su Bai frowned slightly, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.

This is truly a strange thing.

After yesterday's all-out sweep, there are far fewer wild beasts around the territory.

Those that remained were almost all small herds of animals.

Their numbers won't exceed a hundred, and their strength is also weak.

When faced with a massive swarm of insects, the first reaction is to turn tail and run.

They didn't even dare to linger, let alone rush up to fight.

Kerrigan said that the mindless mutated beasts were fearless and launched suicidal attacks on the swarm.

This seems very strange.

Could it be that they are all reincarnations of honey badger, fearless of anything?

"Something unusual must be going on!"

"I have to see it for myself, otherwise I won't feel at ease!"

"Kerrigan, lead the way!"

Su Bai spoke rapidly without hesitation.

Kerrigan nodded.

"Yes, my lord!"

Under the protection of 2,000 springtails, 500 hydralisks, and 500 cockroaches.

Su Bai followed Kerrigan, heading southeast.

Five minutes later.

A flock of sheep-like wild animals charged towards them.

They were enormous, with bloodshot eyes and a bloodthirsty glint in their pupils.

As Su Bai's gaze focused, lines of information popped up.

A mutated antelope that has lost its mind

[Quality: Average]

[Level: Lv3]

[Introduction: Antelopes are gentle by nature and feed on grasses, shrub berries, and tender leaves. However, due to the influence of some evil force, they have mutated, becoming irritable and easily angered, and will launch indiscriminate attacks on any creature within their field of vision.]

Good heavens!

"So brave?"

"That's absolutely reckless!"

Su Bai's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but sigh.

This is like lambs to the slaughter, offering themselves up as food.

"roar!"

The springtail hissed.

It took off running, galloping forward at breakneck speed.

In an instant, the two collided.

The antelope underwent a mutation, losing its mind and becoming violently enraged. Although its combat power doubled, it was still utterly useless.

A single charge by a springtail can kill hundreds of antelopes.

"Being able to eat mutton is the blissful life of an insect swarm!" Su Bai said with a smile.

In a short time, the herd of antelopes was completely devoured by the insects.

Abathur's absorption of the corpse's essence and its conversion into biomass can only be put on hold for now.

The most important thing for the insect swarm is to fill their stomachs.

"It seems there's no need to worry; these mutated beasts haven't seen much improvement in combat power."

Su Bai had just finished speaking.

A series of muffled, thunderous sounds came from the right front.

More than two hundred lions charged at them.

Their fur stood on end, their eyes were bloodshot, and their pupils gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.

A mutated black lion that has lost its mind

[Quality: Excellent]

[Level: Lv4]

[Description: Corrupted by some evil force, the black lion has mutated, becoming enraged and bloodthirsty, and will launch indiscriminate attacks on any creature within its field of vision.]

"Another mindless beast!"

Su Bai's brows furrowed slightly.

The hydra glides forward, its bony plates opening, and sharp bony needles shoot out rapidly.

"Swish swish!"

After two rounds of attacks.

All of the mutated black lions died.

Springtails, hydralisks, and cockroaches rushed forward with great delight to feast.

After a brief pause.

Su Bai led Kerrigan and the Zerg swarm forward.

More types of mutated beasts charged in.

Without exception, they all share a common characteristic.

He lost his mind, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.

Under the command of the Queen of Blades, the Zerg swarm wreaked havoc.

They easily killed all the mutated beasts that charged at them.

Su Bai frowned, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"These mindless beasts all share the same information: they have all been corrupted by some evil force, which has led to their mutation."

"Could it be that some extremely powerful monster, or a local force, has appeared in this area?"

"Better safe than sorry; we must be prepared and not be careless!"

The land of redemption is shrouded in mystery.

For the past fifty years, human lords have been limited by their own strength, and have explored less than a third of this world.

Monsters with unknown abilities could appear at any time.

Therefore, we must take precautions.

"Stop advancing!"

"Kerrigan, you lead the Zerg swarm and wipe out the mutated beasts within a five-kilometer radius of the territory!"

"Report any special circumstances to me immediately!"

Su Bai spoke rapidly, issuing orders.

"Yes, my lord!"

Kerrigan nodded.

A short while later.

After returning to the territory.

Su Bai found Abathur and asked, "How long can your skill, which hatches poisonous nests, be maintained?"

"Twenty-four hours."

Abathur stopped what he was doing and responded.

"Start hatching highly venomous nests now and distribute them around the territory," Su Bai ordered.

"receive!"

Abathur leaves the evolution chamber.

Its eyes flashed with green light, and its three pairs of forelimbs moved rapidly.

Clumps of green, sac-like substances rapidly coalesced, flew towards the surrounding territory, burrowed into the ground, and began to grow rapidly.

[Highly Venomous Nest]

[Description: A burrowing, highly toxic lair that releases creep that can explode, dealing massive damage to nearby enemy ground units.]

[Bonus Effect: Enemies damaged by the Poisonous Nest drop 50% more Biomass]

[Lethality radius: 50 meters in diameter]

Duration: 24 hours

[Special Feature: Enemies exposed to the liquid from the explosion of the highly toxic lair will suffer damage to their central nervous system, resulting in reduced attack and movement speed.]

"Fourteen highly venomous nests are hidden around the territory, which can be considered an extra layer of protection."

Su Bai murmured to himself.

Unless there is a specific danger, the attacks of these mutated beasts are actually a good thing.

In just half an hour, 30,000 souls have already been accumulated.

The insect swarm had a hearty meal, eating with great relish.

The springtail's belly was swollen.

...

...

Thirty kilometers away.

A dilapidated church stands there.

The stained glass windows were covered in dust, and the light that managed to get through was extremely weak.

The parishioners, dressed in black robes, stood on either side, bowing their withered skulls to a priest seated at the head of the table.

"Is there still no news from the archbishop?"

The priest's eyes were sunken, like two black holes, dark and deep, capable of devouring the soul.

He wore a tattered sacrificial robe, covered in grime and soot, making it impossible to discern its original color and style.

"News has just arrived that the archbishop, who attacked human territory alone, has been killed!"

One of the believers responded, his voice hoarse and hollow.

The priest's face was cold and expressionless, showing no emotion whatsoever.

"The Lord of Darkness has no need for such useless servants; his death is not worthy of pity!"
