Swallowed Star: The Zerg Overlord

Chapter 87: Luo Feng's AdventureOn February 21, 2057, Hong and Lei Shen simultaneously announced to the outside world that the Limit Dojo and the Thunder Dojo would join the United Government.

This announcement sent shockwaves through the global powers. At a time when global monsters were rampaging and ocean monsters were frequently invading, the Limit Dojo and the Thunder Dojo had joined the thriving China. This instantly shattered the hopes of many.

Originally, the other major countries could barely resist the invasion of the beast tide with the support of the Limit Dojo and the Thunder Dojo. But without this support, the situation became dire. At this time, two emperor-level ocean monsters invaded, and apart from Hong and Lei Shen, who could help them resist?

Although the extent of the ocean monster invasion was far less severe than in the original timeline, where over a thousand king-level monsters had simultaneously set out to sea, it was still a significant threat.

Of course, these two emperor-level monsters, although called emperor-level, were actually only planetary level six monsters. Their ability to rule over other monsters was far inferior to the later star-level Golden Horned Beast.

But that wasn't the key issue. The key was the attitude of Hong and Lei Shen. This was what made the other major countries most desperate. With China's current strength, combined with the Limit Dojo and the Thunder Dojo, all other forces on Earth combined could not compete with the United Government.

On February 25th, under Lei Shen's leadership, a bloody purge of the major base cities began. The next day, China announced its support, sending over ten thousand warriors led by Jia Yi, along with hundreds of millions of ordinary monsters and a dozen king-level monsters, to assist neighboring countries in defending against the beast tide attacks.

In early March, India announced its accession to the United Government. Soon after, base cities in Africa, South America, and other regions, unable to hold out, requested support.

In this context, many warriors received military tasks to enter foreign base cities to carry out missions. Luo Feng's Team also received a task.

However, their mission was not to support a specific base city but to go to a mysterious island on Australia to execute a mission.

"Luo Feng. Let's go, it's time to carry out the mission." Gao Feng, holding an S-grade war hammer, called out loudly. They were currently at a massive flying monster docking platform in a war base city in the Jiangnan Base City.

Here, there were numerous flying monsters docked. Most of these flying monsters were Soldier-level and Commander-level, but there were also a few Horde Leader-level flying monsters. Warrior teams flipped onto their assigned flying monsters, either heading into the wilderness to hunt monsters or carrying out special military tasks.

Hearing the captain's call, Luo Feng and the others quickly moved towards a low Horde Leader-level monster, a black-crowned golden eagle with a wingspan of nearly thirty meters. Indeed, this low Horde Leader black-crowned golden eagle was the mount of the Fire Hammer squad.

After consuming a spirit of nature, Luo Feng's martial prowess skyrocketed to the medium-level wargod stage, and his spirit power reached the peak of the high-level wargod stage. It was a monumental leap.

With Luo Feng's help, Gao Feng also exchanged for a spirit of nature, reaching the medium-level war god stage. After experiencing the fires of war, the bond among the members of the squad grew stronger, and they even harbored the ambition to become a fully war god-level team.

With their current strength, Gao Feng was fortunate to receive a high-value military task to protect an important military base on Australia.

Before the Great Nirvana period, Australia was famous for its diverse and abundant animal species. After the Great Nirvana, the number of monsters on the continent became terrifying, with numerous beasts and Horde Leader monsters.

In the past, the Fire Hammer Team would definitely not want to go to such a place. But now, the situation was different. With the hunting efforts of numerous warriors and the Zerg swarm, the number of monsters, especially Horde Leader monsters, had significantly decreased domestically, making it difficult to accumulate military points quickly.

Most powerful warrior teams were thinking about venturing abroad to earn military points. Going to a war base on Australia to execute a mission was a great opportunity. The situation between humans and monsters had completely reversed.

"Let's go!"

Luo Feng and the others were full of spirit and excitement as they mounted the black-crowned golden eagle. With the black-crowned golden eagle's broad body, it was more than enough to seat the members.

Once they were steady, the black-crowned golden eagle spread its wings and flew into the sky. Along the way, they talked loudly about the future, making the mission feel more like a picnic than a task. Indeed, with Luo Feng's current strength, he was unlikely to encounter any danger unless surrounded by king-level monsters. Even if danger arose, they could either hide in the military war base or simply consume military points to request military king-level monster support to easily overcome difficulties.

"This black-crowned golden eagle is really fast; we've reached Australia so quickly." Looking at the numerous rodent-type monsters below, Gao Feng sighed. Over this period, he felt like he was dreaming. He never dared to imagine that he would one day become a wargod. Even owning a Horde Leader flying monster as a mount.

"Hey, I wonder where the military got so many spirits of nature to exchange in bulk." Chen Gu also marveled. By now, Chen Gu had switched his main weapon to a long sword. Originally, he could at most reach the warlord level, but now he had ambitions to go further.

"I think it's most likely the work of Chief Qin Mu. If monsters can be cultivated, why not spirits of nature?" Zhang Ke laughed.

"Exactly, I think so too. Chief Qin Mu's strength is incredibly strong, controlling dozens of king-level monsters by himself. At the beginning of the war, I was very worried about being used as cannon fodder, but unexpectedly, it turned into a welfare situation!"

As everyone chatted, a large group of flying monsters flew in from the distant sky. However, upon seeing a Horde Leader monster in front of them, they all avoided it. Ordinary monsters dared not provoke Horde Leader monsters.

Seeing this, the members of the Hammer Team laughed out loud.

"We're almost there." According to the military, after passing through a mountain range of apes, a vast lake covering an area of hundreds of square kilometers appeared in front of Luo Feng and the others.

"Let's go down; the tactical watch indicates that the small island in the lake is our destination."

As they approached, they found a war base on the island. Although the base was not very large, it had over twenty laser cannons and even a snake-type king-level monster guarding it.

"What is this place, why are there so many laser cannons and even a king-level monster guarding it?" With slight awe, the members of the team entered the war base on the island.

As they became more familiar with the island's terrain and surroundings, they also occasionally went out to hunt. The number of monsters on Australia did not disappoint them, and they easily hunted numerous Horde Leader monsters.

Until half a month later, after completing a patrol on the island, Luo Feng entered the lake to hunt monsters. Luo Feng, being highly skilled and bold, dared to enter the lake to hunt monsters, something that ordinary wargods would not dare to do.

After staying on the island for half a month, Luo Feng had heard stories about it. It turned out that Qin Mu had once discovered hundreds of spirits of nature here. He had even fought with the world's strongest, Hong, and slightly gained the upper hand. This led Luo Feng and the others to search the island more than once, hoping to find one or two overlooked spirits of nature.

Of course, they found nothing.

However, during this period, for some reason, Luo Feng always felt the urge to enter the lake to hunt monsters. Although he sensed some danger, this time, he decided to follow his instincts and entered the lake.

As soon as Luo Feng entered the lake, he detected a faint fragrance of rice. The smell of rice?

Luo Feng's spirits lifted. "A treasure! It's probably a treasure!"

It was widely believed that there was a treasure on this island. Almost everyone who had been to the island thought so. How could an ordinary island have so many spirits of nature growing on it? This was also why there was a military base on the island.

However, no one had ever discovered what the treasure on the island was. It was only through research that it was found that the various plants on the island were exceptionally vibrant.

According to intelligence gathered by China, the lake was very deep, with an average depth of 300 meters and a maximum depth of nearly 1000 meters.

This was just the lake itself. In reality, the lake was connected to various underground passages. Many Horde Leader monsters would burrow into the ground, and the lake's underground had various underground rivers. Many Horde Leader monsters would leave or enter the lake via these underground rivers. This was why so many monsters could survive in this lake.

"The smell is coming from the lake bottom."

Luo Feng quickly dived down. Using his spirit power to scan the surrounding monsters, Luo Feng simultaneously charged into an underground passage at the lake bottom.

In the lake, hundreds of meters below the surface, in a dark passage, a white semi-transparent crystal floated in mid-air. The originally dark underground passage was now slightly illuminated by the crystal. The white transparent crystal not only emitted light but also a continuous fragrance of rice, making one feel like salivating.

"The smell is coming from this white transparent crystal."

When Luo Feng arrived at the underground passage, a large number of monsters had already gathered in the passage. These monsters stared at the white transparent crystal from a distance, their expressions filled with both desire and fear.

"It's a treasure!"

Luo Feng's heart stirred, but before he could get close, a fish-like monster near the white transparent crystal could no longer contain its desire and darted out, swallowing the crystal. Almost instantly, the fish-like monster emitted bright white light all over its body. Before it could react, the fish-like monster exploded with a "Boom!"

"It's indeed a treasure, but I have no idea how to use it!" Luo Feng's flying knives surrounded him, cutting through the monster horde, easily slaughtering all the monsters. He carefully packed the white crystal emitting the fragrance of rice into his backpack.

Although he didn't know what the white crystal was, Luo Feng knew it was definitely a treasure. After leaving, he planned to check. If he couldn't use it, selling it to the military for points would be a good option.

Without rushing to leave, Luo Feng kept his discovery to himself and continued to explore the underground passage alone.

He didn't notice that in the lake, a seemingly ordinary fish-like monster watched him collect the white crystal and then dived into the underground passage. In the passage, almost every segment had a white crystal, as if arranged to guide Luo Feng deeper.

Invisible unique ripples slightly changed, penetrating through numerous rock layers from the depths of the earth and drilling into the depths of Luo Feng's consciousness.

Luo Feng didn't seem to feel anything wrong with his actions, continuously exploring deeper. During this process, he even stepped on a pure blood-red fragment. This blood-red fragment actually cut through Luo Feng's S-grade alloy combat boots, drawing blood. This discovery thrilled Luo Feng, knowing it was an extraordinary treasure.

Excited by obtaining the treasure, Luo Feng continued to explore deeper.

Until, at a depth of 15,000 meters underground, he encountered a dusty, half-open cabin door.
