National Games: Hang up from the zombie apocalypse

Chapter 3280 Information

Embrace of Shadows!

In an instant, a dark curtain of light condensed around Fang Heng's body!

"Boom! Boom boom boom!!!"

The enormous mandibles bit into the Shadow Curtain one after the other, causing it to explode. The two Ouroboros Seed Insect Servants' mutated insect arms were instantly shattered by the explosion of the Shadow Aura!

The shadowy aftershocks from the explosion even quickly spread along the mutated right arm toward the bodies of the two insect servants!

All the right arms covered by the aftershocks of the shadows were instantly coated with a layer of deathly gray!

not good!

Upon seeing this, the two insect servants broke out in a cold sweat. Almost simultaneously, they swung their other hands to sever their arms and fled frantically to the left and right.

The three insect servants were going crazy.

They came after vaguely sensing the presence of the Insect King, hoping to check on the Insect King Tantalo's condition. However, they never expected that instead of finding the Insect King, they would discover their own kind whom they had never encountered before.

The other party started fighting without saying a word.

Moreover, their strength was extremely terrifying; in just one move, all three of them were seriously injured.

The three insect servants immediately had a thought rising in their hearts.

"run!"

After shouting, the three immediately fled towards the outside of the cave.

"God's punishment."

The next moment, the three of them heard a casual sound from behind them almost simultaneously.

"boom!"

A bolt of purple lightning struck one after another, accurately hitting one of the insect servants.

"what--!!"

The insect servant let out a scream as its body rapidly disintegrated under the impact of the lightning, revealing its decaying body, which had been completely parasitized by the insect race.

"call out!!"

Fang Heng raised his hand again, and a cocoon of the Ouroboros Seed was forcibly extracted from the still-disintegrating insect servant's body and flew into his palm.

[Hint: Player has obtained 1 Seed of Ouroboros (High Tier)].

Almost simultaneously, the insect servant's body, having lost its cocoon, could no longer sustain itself and, under the damage from the aftermath of divine punishment, quickly turned into a lump of rotting flesh and fell to the ground.

The other two fleeing insect servants were even more terrified when they heard the noise behind them, and they ran for their lives.

Damn it!

What is that move?!

Without exception, all the seeds of Ouroboros possess extremely strong vitality.

Not to mention those who were spared by the Insect King, they were all the best of the generation of the Ouroboros Seed.

But the opponent defeated their companion with just one move?

As the two were filled with doubt and uncertainty, a cold voice rang out from ahead.

"Aren't you going to stop? Or do you want me to kill you all?"

The two men's expressions changed drastically.

Upon closer inspection, they realized that Fang Heng had somehow emerged from the void and stood in front of them, blocking their path.

The two insect servants immediately broke out in a cold sweat and had no choice but to stop in their tracks. They looked at Fang Heng with terrified eyes, and their voices even trembled slightly.

"who are you?"

"Hmph, you are not qualified to ask questions!"

Fang Heng snorted coldly, looked at the two of them, and asked, "Who are you?"

The two insect servants' expressions tightened, and they immediately said, "Camus (Karen), we are insect servants under the Insect King."

"What are you doing here? Have you come to rescue Tantalo?"

The two insect servants hesitated for a moment.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes, and purple lightning danced in his palm with his right hand.

"Isn't that right? Don't try to fool me. If I find out you're lying or hiding something..."

Camus's heart skipped a beat. He glanced cautiously at the divine punishment power coiled in Fang Heng's palm and quickly said, "We've come to find the whereabouts of Lord Insect King."

Fang Heng said coldly, "Continue, keep going. We have time; you can start from the beginning."

“We are all insect servants under the command of the Insect King. Our territory is very far from here. About three months ago, we received an emergency summons from the Insect King to come to the star field to assemble. But when we arrived, the Insect King’s aura could no longer be detected.”

"Only then did we learn that the Insect King's physical body was destroyed in the battle against the God Clan, and the ancestral cocoon that originally belonged to the Insect King was also affected by the spatial turbulence and was left in several surrounding star fields."

"On one hand, we are searching for the Insect King, and on the other hand, we are also searching for the various progenitor cocoons that have been left behind in the star field."

"Not long ago, when we were exploring the Star Sea, we sensed the power of the Insect King, but he was already very weak. So, following the power we sensed, we found our way here."

Fang Heng looked at Camus, his gaze seemingly able to see right through him, and asked in a cold voice, "So you came here to obtain the power of Tantalus, is that right?"

“Tantaro has lost the Progenitor Cocoon; he is no longer our king.”

Now that things had come to this, Camus and his companion no longer concealed anything and simply said, "If Lord Tantalo still possesses the power to lead the race, we will naturally submit. However, based on what we have sensed, his current power is no longer sufficient to control the entire race of Ouroboros."

Fang Heng's lips curled into a sneer, revealing a hint of disdain.

Just as he guessed, that's the nature of the Seed of Ouroboros.

They devour each other, and only the one that remains at the end becomes the king.

"I heard that Tantalo used to control most of the star field? Now that Tantalo's strength is much weaker, what about his other forces? Are they also looking for him like you are?"

The two insect servants exchanged a glance and said, "After Tantalo lost his power, the clan has remained relatively stable overall. In addition to searching for Tantalo, they are also searching for the progenitor cocoons left behind in the star field."

Fang Heng flipped his wrist and held a cocoon left behind by the dead insect king in his palm.

"Is this the cocoon of the progenitor worm you've been looking for?"

The two insect servants looked at the patterned cocoon in Fang Heng's palm, their expressions changing several times, and their gazes toward Fang Heng underwent another dramatic transformation.

The progenitor cocoon was in his hand!

Is it...

Tantalo is already dead at his hands!?

"say!"

"Yes, it's him..."

Fang Heng flipped his wrist and put the cocoon back into his backpack.

Based on the information provided by the game, the Progenitor Cocoon cannot be directly absorbed by him and converted into experience points for the Seed of Ouroboros.

"You say the progenitor's cocoon can grant you power? Then why can't I absorb it?"

"Gudong..."

Hearing what Fang Heng said, Camus couldn't help but swallow nervously.

The cocoon of the progenitor insect.

Damn it! Does he still want to devour the progenitor cocoon?

He is simply a lunatic!

Karen lowered her head and explained, "The progenitor cocoon is not directly devoured and absorbed; it can act on our bodies to help us better absorb and fuse power."

Fang Heng frowned slightly, wondering what he meant by "acting on the body".

"You mean it's like a prop?"

Camus and Karen couldn't help but exchange another glance. "There's a slight difference. Of course, you can also understand it this way: the Proto-Cocoon was originally a hereditary possession of the Ouroboros Seed, passed down through generations. It was originally a single entity, but it was damaged after an impact, forming a total of sixteen fragments." (End of Chapter)
