Chapter 337

The Sea King had said those words because he had seen a shocking scene.

After the gluttonous bug crawled to the Queen Mother's side, it raised its tail high, then swung it hard and plunged its tail directly into the Queen Mother's abdomen. Waves of flesh and blood energy were continuously transmitted through the tail into the gluttonous bug's body, and its body quickly expanded.

"What happened?" Gu Ding and the others quickly asked.

"That gluttonous bug is devouring the Queen Mother." Neptune told them what he saw. Seeing that there were no outsiders nearby, he directly projected the scene.

"How could this be? Doesn't the Bug Tribe Queen Mother have absolute control over the Bug Tribe fighters she breeds? She can kill any Bug Tribe fighter she breeds with just a thought, right? "Lilliath also knew a little about the Bug Tribe.

"This means that this gluttonous bug was not bred by this Queen Mother." Neptune quickly understood. His database also had a description of this phenomenon. "Sometimes, there will be fights between Zerg Queens. Under normal circumstances, it's a battle for territory. One side wins and takes the territory, and the other side will back out. However, for some reason, the losing side is unwilling to give up the territory, which leads to a fight to the death between the two Queen Mothers. A Queen Mother will devour another Queen Mother and imitate the pheromone of the original Queen Mother to control the bug beast bred by the original Queen Mother. "

"This gluttonous bug was probably bred by another Queen Mother. However, that Queen Mother was eaten by this one, so it's under its control. However, this time, because this Queen Mother was seriously injured, it can't imitate the original Queen Mother's pheromone, causing the gluttonous bug to counterattack. "

"If the Queen Mother is killed by the gluttonous bug, our final mission in the ruins should be considered completed. It's just that no one will get the reward." Gu Ding put forward his idea.

In the projection, although the belly of the Queen Mother was slowly flattening, it was still struggling and did not die.

"That's one possibility, but there's another." The Sea Emperor paused for a moment, then continued, "The Zerg is a very special race. Any Zerg, even an ordinary Zerg, has a 100% chance of evolving into a Zerg after eating an entire Queen Zerg. If only a portion was eaten, the success rate of the evolution would decrease. However, this gluttonous bug had eaten an entire Queen Mother this time, so it would definitely evolve into a new Queen Mother. I'm more worried that after the Queen Mother dies, the final rule of the game will be for us to kill this new Queen Mother. The Gluttonous Bug is a high-level Bug Clan. Once it evolves into a Bug Queen, who knows what kind of powerful Bug Beasts it will breed. "

On the projection screen, the Queen Mother's struggles grew weaker and weaker. As time passed, Gu Ding and the others could only wait for the results. There was nothing they could do.

It was only then that some people from TOP1 and the Freedom Alliance arrived near the Queen Mother. Fortunately, they were more cautious and only watched from afar. However, when they saw this terrifying scene, they immediately retreated from that area.

"I hope this matter can end here. Although we didn't kill the Empress, if not for Robert's super bomb, the Empress wouldn't have been so seriously injured, and it wouldn't have become food for the Voracious Bugs." Elsa raised her beautiful wish.

"Let's wait and see. The Queen Mother doesn't have much time left. After it dies, no matter what the outcome is, that old man will definitely inform us. "Gu Ding patiently sat cross-legged on the spot and looked up at the projection screen in the air.

Everyone stared at the projection and waited for the results.

Not long after, the Queen Mother finally stopped struggling. Her legs, which had been twitching slightly, no longer moved. She just quietly froze in the air, and no matter how much the Gluttony Bug tried to absorb her, she did not move at all.

After a while, another voice came from the sky. It was the same old man from before. "Today was supposed to be the last day of the three-day period. Under normal circumstances, the Queen Mother would have sent elite mutant bugs to attack the city tomorrow. However, some powerhouses destroyed the Queen Mother's plan in advance and killed all the elite mutant bugs. This indirectly caused the Queen Mother's death. Therefore, the bug attack that was originally scheduled for tomorrow is no longer happening.

"Of course, although this sounds like good news, it's actually bad news. Although the Queen Mother is dead, it was not killed by humans. Therefore, the ruins can't be closed early. In three days, a new Queen Mother will be born. Moreover, the new Queen Mother will be more powerful, and the bugs it gives birth to will be even more terrifying. Everyone can enjoy the remaining three days. "Since the old man said that, it was obvious that he was not optimistic about the situation on the human side.

"Old man, I have a question!" Gu Ding shouted again. "Does it mean that as long as we kill the gluttonous bug from now on, the ruins will close early?"

"If someone kills the gluttonous bug in advance, then the Queen Mother's body and the gluttonous bug's body must be completely disposed of before the ruins will close. This is because if the Queen Mother's body and the gluttonous bug's body are not disposed of, there's a chance that other bugs will evolve into a Queen Mother after eating them. In the 10% exploration rate that has been explored, as long as the Queen Mother exists, the ruins will remain open until the end of the thirty days. "

"What if the gluttonous bug has already entered the evolution process, but it has not completed its evolution? If I interrupt the gluttonous bug's evolution at that time, kill the gluttonous bug, and dispose of its body, will the ruins close early? "Gu Ding continued to ask.

"Yes, and as long as the gluttonous bug has entered the evolution process, regardless of whether the evolution is successful or not, killing it will give you the reward for killing the Queen Mother." The old man's answer was exactly what Gu Ding wanted.

After the old man's voice sounded, many people fell into panic. The original Queen Mother was already terrifying enough. Now that there was a new Queen Mother that could breed even more powerful bugs, many people felt a little desperate.

Gu Ding, on the other hand, stared at the projection of the gluttonous worm. After a while, he asked, "Neptune, if I'm not mistaken, during the process of the gluttonous worm evolving into a Queen Mother, there should be a period of time when it can't move, right?"

"Yes, it will automatically generate a cocoon. Its body form will complete its evolution in the cocoon, and then it will break out of the cocoon." There was a detailed record of this information in Neptune's database.

"Cocoon … I wonder how strong its defense will be." Gu Ding frowned slightly. He had thought that the other party would enter a dormant state, but he did not expect it to be a cocoon.

"It's unlikely that the cocoon will be destroyed. I guess the cocoon's defense will not be weaker than the Queen Mother's when it was alive." Neptune was not optimistic about this.

"No matter what, we have to try it tomorrow." Gu Ding made up his mind to give it a try. "There's no point in continuing to watch here. Let's go back to the city first."

Gu Ding and the others returned to the city. Inside the city, they saw many people hunting bug beasts. They seemed to want to earn more merit points so that they could hide in the Merit Hall or the square when they had the chance.

Gu Ding and the others had basically not hunted for the past three days, but their merit points were unsurpassed by others.

Gu Ding's merit points alone were more than eighty billion. The reason why he had so many merit points was that he originally had more than nine billion left, and he had started earlier than the other members of the crew.

Liliath had more than sixty billion merit points. Although the area covered by her Hellfire was not as big as Gu Ding's, any bug beast that came into contact with it would die without exception. Her overall killing speed was no slower than Gu Ding's.

Elsa had more than fifty billion. She had started later, but her killing speed was no slower than Gu Ding's.

Biggie also had more than fifty billion. His killing speed was the fastest among everyone, but he had already advanced to demigod, so he only had two times the merit points increase.

Tagore's killing speed was not slow either, but he was already a 1-star deity. Without the merit points increase, he could only reach ten billion.

Dockett, on the other hand, could not compare to the five people before him. After all, he could not even kill a 5-star bug beast. Moreover, most of the pressure had been taken up by Gu Ding and Liliath. His merit points were less than two billion.

As for Robert, his killing speed was no slower than Gu Ding and the others. However, since he had already advanced to become an intermediate deity, apart from gaining over 21,000 merit points from killing those Commander-level Bug Beasts with the super explosive bombs, his merit points from killing the Bug Beasts did not increase at all. He had less than 100,000 merit points now.

After three days, there were only eleven days left before the ruins closed.

If they wanted to stay in a safe area like the Merit Hall or the square for eleven days, each person would need more than two billion merit points. Although it was much less than the ten billion they needed before, it was still not a small amount.

Gu Ding and the others had not used their merit points to exchange for anything during this period. They were worried that if anything happened, they would be able to hide in a safe area.

However, now that the time was shortened, it was a good thing for everyone. For Gu Ding, even if everyone hid in a safe area, they would still have tens of billions of merit points to exchange for things.

Not long after Gu Ding returned to the city, the TOP1 and Freedom Alliance members returned as well.

"Odin didn't come back with you?" When Karsi saw Gu Ding, he looked around but did not see Odin.

"He was probably swallowed by the gluttonous bugs. He was still attacking the Queen Mother when we escaped." Although Gu Ding did not see it with his own eyes, Neptune had told him about the TOP1 member who could not dodge in time and was swallowed.

"Why didn't you use your sealing ability to kill the Queen Mother directly?" One of the TOP1 members seemed to think that Gu Ding had something to do with Odin's death.

"I didn't have time to make a move." Gu Ding was telling the truth. His sealing ability needed to touch the other's body, and the Queen Mother was so huge that it would take time to completely seal it. "If the gluttonous bugs had arrived two seconds later, I would have been able to kill the Queen Mother in time. However, I was two seconds late. There was nothing I could do but run away. "

"When we arrived, the gluttonous bugs were devouring the Queen Mother. Do you know what happened?" Star from the Freedom Alliance changed the subject.

Gu Ding then told them that the gluttonous bugs were not born from the Queen Mother, and then told them his plan. "This gluttonous bugs will enter the evolution stage after devouring the Queen Mother's body, and its whole body will be wrapped in a cocoon. According to the old man, this process should last for three days. After it turns into a cocoon, it won't be able to move. Tomorrow, I'll try to kill it. Those of you with stronger attack power can also try. Anyway, it won't be able to move. If we can't kill it, then we'll have to hide in the Merit Hall … "
