The vortex gradually condensed and slowly rotated while expanding outward, eventually forming a large disc with a diameter of more than twenty meters.
The creep terrain was covered by a blood-red vortex!
Twelve blood-red discs continuously rotated around Fang Heng and the war machines in the outer circle.
Any mutant worms that touched the blood-red discs were silently consumed and integrated into the blood-red discs, becoming part of it.
The blood swamp was eerily silent, yet it crazily devoured the lives of the surrounding mutant worms.
Even commander-level mutant worms!
Kenno watched the scene unfold on the battlefield, his eyes showing a hint of fear.
He had personally seen a commander-level creep worm enter the blood-red disc, struggling desperately to escape its range. However, countless blood-red hands reached out from the disc, grabbing the mutant worm and pulling it toward the center of the disc!
These blood-red hands, seemingly ordinary, had some sort of enhanced corrosion and weakness effect. Once they grabbed a creep worm, they left a deep blood-red handprint indentation on its body.
After a brief struggle, the commander-level creep worm was pulled into the blood-red disc and disappeared without a trace!
The twelve giant blood-red discs rolled on the battlefield, devouring the mutant worm swarm that surged from all directions!
Kenno raised his head, looking at Fang Heng, who was standing on the shoulder of a mechanical spawn, casting spells from a distance.
A large-scale blood magic skill?
At some point, Kenno’s back was already soaked in a cold sweat.
The area covered by the blood swamp attack swallowed the mutant worm swarms in chunks, clearing a path for the V-70 war machines to advance.
Six V-70 war machines slowly moved forward toward the B-level insect nest.
Beside him, a soldier swallowed nervously and asked in a low voice, "Captain, what should we do..."
"Take a small squad and follow them to take a look. The rest stay and defend the line. Make sure the line is secure!"
Kenno made a quick decision, assembling a 20-man elite squad to follow Fang Heng.
They might not be able to help in this intense battle, but at least they could follow and observe.
Thanks to the blood swamp skill reducing the interference of the mutant worm swarm, the V-70’s movement speed increased significantly.
In a short while, the towering B-level insect nest mother body was clearly visible ahead!
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!"
Once within attack range, the six V-70 mechanical war machines simultaneously fired concentrated energy light beams, focusing their fire on the B-level insect nest mother spider!
The mother spider took damage, and the entire worm swarm was once again provoked, charging toward the V-70 war machines.
However, it was futile!
No matter how many worms came, they were all devoured by the blood swamp!
At this point, Fang Heng was also beginning to sweat heavily.
Even though his mental strength had reached a certain level, maintaining the blood swamp for an extended period was pushing him to his limits.
Just a little longer.
Fang Heng fixed his gaze on the B-level insect nest mother spider ahead.
Once the B-level insect nest mother spider’s HP dropped below 50%, it would enter Phase Two.
Suddenly, large chunks of blood meat fell from the mother spider!
The blood meat quickly gathered on the ground, forming commander-level mutant worms.
Led by the commander-level mutant worms, a powerful counterattack was mounted, and they charged toward the war machines once again.
This was the moment he had been waiting for!
Fang Heng condensed all of his mental strength and poured it into the Book of the Dead.
Countless dense bubbles began to rise from the silent blood swamp.
With the mental strength fueling it, the blood swamp quickly surged and boiled, suddenly bursting like a fountain, forming a vast sea of blood in front of Fang Heng!
The sea of blood surged toward the incoming commander-level mutant worm swarm like a tidal wave!
It was like a tsunami!
The blood sea, enhanced with corrosion, aging, and various undead effects, quickly overwhelmed a large portion of the worm swarm!
After a moment, the blood tide receded.
The ground, once covered with creep terrain, now presented a scorched brown color, with sizzling sounds emanating from the remaining blood as it burned away.
After a baptism by the blood tide, the normal worms had all been wiped out, leaving only a few heavily injured commander-level mutant worms still struggling on the ground.
The Licker swarm had switched to their undead form and rapidly pounced on the remaining commander-level mutant worms, tearing them apart.
In the rear of the battlefield, Kenno and his elite squad had just arrived and witnessed the area ahead being cleared of the worms, leaving a vacuum zone. They were left speechless by the sight.
During the release of the skill, the six V-70 war machines had been focusing energy light beams on the B-level insect nest mother spider for more than three minutes!
The damage had increased by more than ten times!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"
The commander-level mutant worm leaders were not completely killed by the Licker swarm yet, but the B-level insect nest had already exploded before the soldiers’ eyes.
The soldiers immediately hit the ground.
Chunks of blood meat flew in all directions.
[Hint: The player killed the B-level insect nest mother spider (mutated leader). The player gains 10,000 spawn contribution points and 10,000 spawn honor points.]
[Hint: The player successfully cleared the B-level insect nest. The player gains 50,000 spawn contribution points and 50,000 spawn honor points.]
Fang Heng glanced at the game prompt.
With no Federation involvement in the kill, he took all the rewards for himself.
Fang Heng suddenly felt something in his sea of consciousness. He looked up and gazed toward the front of the battlefield.
An abnormal ripple emanated from the distance.
It was the Seed of Ouroboros sensing!
The game prompt triggered immediately.
[Hint: The player triggers the mission - The Traces of the Seed of Ouroboros.]
Mission name: The Traces of the Seed of Ouroboros.
Mission difficulty: SSS.
Mission description: You have sensed the aura of the Seed of Ouroboros in a certain world. Please try to locate the source of the aura and investigate.
Mission requirements: Locate the source of the aura.
Fang Heng looked ahead.
According to the map displayed on the surveying instrument, the source of the aura was located at the central area of the insect nest.
Deeper within, there were even stronger A-level and S-level insect nests.
"Just as I thought, it’s the Seed of Ouroboros..."
Fang Heng murmured to himself before retracting his gaze.
Although the B-tier insect nest had been cleared, there were still many lower-level D-tier and C-tier insect nests remaining.
Unfortunately, the energy of the mechanical war machines had dropped to less than 3%.
It was impossible to continue at this point.
Lacking the spawns’ war machines, relying solely on the Licker swarm to clear the insect nest was too slow.
He decided to retreat and head back to activate the second-tier defense of the prism.
Protected by the swarm, the mechanical war machines began to retreat toward the rear of the battlefield.
Kenno and his subordinates looked up just in time to see the war machines not clearing the remaining lower-tier insect nest mother spiders but instead quickly retreating toward the rear.
Were they retreating?
