Traveler Zerg World

Chapter 470 Mutations on the Plateau 3

On this day, they heard strange noises coming from deep in the plateau, and the three of them decided to go and find out.

As they approached the plateau along the winding mountain road, the temperature dropped, and the thin air made each step difficult. "This plateau is no easy place to deal with," Yan Jun said, panting heavily. Lin Zhi nodded and replied, "But precisely because of this, perhaps we'll make even more extraordinary discoveries."

Finally, they arrived at the plateau. The sight before them astonished them. What should have been a barren plateau was now covered with trees. However, these trees were unlike any they had ever seen before. Their trunks were as thick as small mountains, and their bark was covered with strange patterns, like some kind of mysterious symbols.

"These trees... they seem almost alive." Zhang Ying cautiously approached a large tree, gently touching its bark. The instant her hand touched the bark, the tree suddenly shook violently, emitting a low roar. "Get out of the way!" Lin Zhi shouted, pulling Zhang Ying and Yan Jun back quickly.

"What on earth is going on? Have these trees become sentient?" Yan Jun stared wide-eyed, his face filled with terror. Lin Zhi frowned as she pondered, "Perhaps this is a unique mutation phenomenon in the insectoid world; everything here cannot be deduced using common sense."

Just as they were wondering what was going on, footsteps sounded in the distance. The insectoid brothers, Wang Jun and Wang Kai, slowly approached. "You've noticed the strangeness here too?" Wang Jun asked, looking at Lin Zhi and the others. Lin Zhi nodded: "Yes, these trees are very strange."

Wang Kai stepped forward and carefully observed the trees: "When we were exploring the area, we sensed that these trees seemed to be hiding some secret. They seemed to be absorbing some kind of energy." Just then, one of the large trees suddenly shot out a black beam of light, heading straight towards them. "Watch out!" Everyone quickly dodged.

The four Zerg siblings, Li Yi, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li, along with Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan, also rushed over. "How can there be such a powerful energy fluctuation here?" Li Yi exclaimed in surprise.

The group carefully began to examine the mutated trees. Zhang Ying suddenly noticed a faintly glowing opening at the base of one of the large trees. "Look, there seems to be something here," she called to the others.

Lin Zhi crouched down and carefully examined the cave entrance: "Perhaps this is the key to the mutation of these trees." He slowly reached out and touched the entrance. Just as his fingers were about to touch the entrance, a powerful gust of air suddenly shot out, sending Lin Zhi flying backward.

"Linzhi!" Yan Jun rushed over to help Linzhi up. Linzhi shook her head: "It's nothing, the airflow is just too strong." The crowd gathered around again, looking at the cave entrance, unsure of what to do.

"How about we try using the Zerg's abilities?" Wang Jun suggested. Wang Kai nodded: "Perhaps we can. Let's activate our energy together and see if we can open this hole."

So, the Zerg brothers and sisters unleashed their abilities, sending strange beams of light towards the cave entrance. Under the illumination of these lights, the energy fluctuations around the entrance grew increasingly intense. Suddenly, the cave entrance emitted a dazzling light, then slowly opened.

A pungent odor wafted from the cave entrance, and everyone covered their mouths and noses. "This smell is awful," Li Hua said, frowning. Lin Zhi took a deep breath: "No matter what, let's go in and take a look."

The group cautiously entered the cave. It was pitch black inside, with only a faint light flickering within. They slowly moved forward in the direction of the light, the ground beneath their feet uneven and occasionally dotted with strange bumps.

"Everyone be careful, it feels very dangerous here," Yan Jun whispered a warning. Just then, a huge figure suddenly appeared ahead. The figure was radiating black light, and its specific appearance was unclear.

"What is that?" Li Ming asked nervously. The figure suddenly charged towards them at incredible speed. The Zerg brothers and sisters unleashed their skills, engaging in a fierce battle with the figure. Lin Zhi, Yan Jun, and Zhang Ying were not to be outdone, each drawing their weapons and joining the fight.

During the battle, the group gradually discovered that the figure seemed to be composed of some kind of dark energy, making it extremely difficult to deal with. "What kind of monster is this?" Zhang Ying shouted while dodging attacks. Lin Zhi gritted her teeth: "Whatever it is, we must defeat it!"

After a fierce battle, the group finally found the figure's weakness. Lin Zhi concentrated all her strength and unleashed a powerful attack, striking the figure directly in its core. With a loud bang, the figure vanished into a cloud of black smoke.

"Finally solved." Yan Jun breathed a long sigh of relief. The group continued their exploration and finally arrived at a spacious area. Many strange crystals were displayed there, radiating powerful energy fluctuations.

“These crystals are definitely not ordinary.” Lin Zhi stepped forward and examined them carefully. Just as he approached one of the crystals, it suddenly emitted a beam of light, enveloping him. “Lin Zhi!” everyone exclaimed.

After the light faded, Lin Zhi noticed some changes in his body. He felt his strength had increased significantly, and he was able to perceive the energy fluctuations around him more acutely. "It seems I've gained new abilities," Lin Zhi said with delight.

Everyone was excited to see the changes in Linzhi. "It seems the adventure here wasn't in vain," Zhang Ying said with a smile. Just then, the surrounding crystals suddenly trembled violently, and the entire space began to shake.

"Oh no, this place is about to collapse!" Yan Jun shouted. Everyone rushed towards the cave entrance. The moment they escaped, a huge roar came from behind them, and the mutated trees on the plateau fell down one after another with the roar.

After they escaped the plateau, they all looked back. The plateau was a scene of devastation; the mutated trees had vanished, leaving only ruins. "This adventure was truly perilous," Lin Zhi remarked.

The group exchanged smiles. They knew that many more unknown adventures awaited them in this insectoid world, but they were no longer afraid because they had each other, courage, and the determination to explore.

In the days that followed, Linzhi and his companions, armed with the new abilities they gained on the plateau, continued their adventures in the insectoid world. They helped the insectoids resolve many crises and made many more like-minded friends. The secret of the mutated trees on the plateau became an unforgettable adventure for them, inspiring them to keep moving forward and uncover more facets of this mysterious world.

 Transmigrated to the Zerg World

Looking at this once familiar land, now filled with an eerie atmosphere, Yan Jun and Zhang Ying followed closely behind her, their eyes revealing a hint of tension and curiosity.

"It feels completely different here than before," Lin Zhi said softly, as the wind blew through her hair, bringing a pungent smell.

"Yes, I wonder what the Zerg are up to here." Yan Jun frowned and gripped his weapon tightly.

Zhang Ying looked around warily. "Be careful, danger could appear at any moment."

Suddenly, a deep roar came from the depths of the woods, and the three of them tensed up instantly.

"It's the Zerg!" Lin Zhi said in a low voice, and they slowly approached the direction from which the sound came.

Two enormous insectoid creatures appeared ahead; they were none other than the brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai. Their scales shimmered with a metallic sheen, and their sharp claws gleamed with a cold light.

"Humans, how dare you trespass here!" Wang Jun roared in a low voice, which echoed in the air and sent chills down everyone's spine.

Lin Zhi took a deep breath and said, "We came here to find out the truth. Zerg, what exactly have you done to this land?"

Wang Kai sneered, "This land will become the domain of our Zerg race. The era of you humans is over!"

The two sides were on the verge of war, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Just then, a commotion arose in the distance. It turned out that the four insectoid siblings, Li Yi, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li, had arrived.

"Big brother, second brother, leave these humans to us!" Li shouted.

Yan Jun stared at the swarm of insectoids, a surge of anger rising within him. "Don't even think about harming us!"

The battle erupted instantly, with Lin Zhi, Yan Jun, and Zhang Ying engaging in fierce combat with the Zerg. Lin Zhi was agile, her dagger slicing wounds into the Zerg's bodies; Yan Jun possessed astonishing strength, wielding her longsword in a desperate fight against Wang Jun; Zhang Ying, on the other hand, used her nimble movements to dodge Wang Kai's attacks and occasionally launch counterattacks.

The insectoids were equally relentless, coordinating their attacks seamlessly and launching continuous assaults on the humans. Dust billowed across Tree Ridge, and the sounds of battle cries shook the heavens.

During the battle, Lin Zhi noticed that the trees in this forest also seemed to have mutated. Their trunks had become incredibly thick, and their branches and leaves had twisted and grown, as if they were filled with a strange power.

"How did these trees become like this?" Lin Zhi shouted while dodging the attacks.

Yan Jun, panting heavily, replied, "It's probably the Zerg's doing; they've changed everything here."

Just as they were fighting with all their might, Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan also appeared near the battlefield.

"Sister, it's so dangerous here!" Hua Yuan said, somewhat frightened.

Zhang Yuan clenched her fists tightly, "But we can't back down, we must find a way to help Linzhi and the others."

At this point, the battle entered a fierce stage. Lin Zhi and the others were gradually becoming exhausted, while the Zerg were fighting with increasing ferocity.

"No, we'll lose if this continues!" Yan Jun shouted.

Lin Zhi gritted his teeth, "We can't give up, we must find their weaknesses!"

Just then, she suddenly noticed that Wang Jun had a brief opening when he attacked, which was the moment he turned around and swung his claws.

“Yan Jun, you lure it away for a moment, and I’ll take the opportunity to attack its weaknesses!” Lin Zhi shouted.

Yan Jun nodded. "Okay, I believe you!"

So Yan Jun deliberately provoked Wang Jun, luring it to a relatively open area. Wang Jun fell for the trap and launched a fierce attack on Yan Jun.

The moment Wang Jun turned and swung his claws, Lin Zhi seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and stabbed its weak point with his dagger.

"Agh!" Wang Jun let out a miserable scream, his massive body swaying a few times.

Seeing this, Wang Kai rushed over to help Wang Jun, but was stopped by Zhang Ying and Yan Jun.

"Want to save it? You'll have to get past us first!" Yan Jun shouted.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Linzhi continued to attack Wang Jun. Wang Jun became even more frenzied after being injured, and it pounced on Linzhi without regard for anything else.

At this critical moment, Hua Yuan suddenly had an idea. She shouted into the woods, "These mutated trees might be the key to defeating the Zerg!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan immediately realized what was happening. She ran to a mutated tree and shook the trunk vigorously.

Strange substances fell from the tree trunk, landing directly on Wang Jun. Wang Jun immediately let out a painful roar; the areas on his body stained with these substances began to smoke, as if they were being corroded.

"We did it!" Hua Yuan shouted excitedly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Zhi and the others launched an even more ferocious attack on the Zerg. With their combined efforts, the Zerg gradually found themselves at a disadvantage.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li shouted, "Big brother, second brother, let's retreat first!"

Wang Jun and Wang Kai glanced at the humans with resentment, then led the four Zerg brothers and sisters away from Tree Ridge.

Lin Zhi and the others, panting heavily, gazed in the direction the insectoids had departed.

"This was a narrow victory," Yan Jun said.

Lin Zhi nodded. "However, we also know the dangers here. The insectoids will definitely not let this go."

Hua Yuan walked over and said, "Sister, those mutated trees seem to have a restraining effect on the Zerg. We can use this in the future."

Zhang Yuan also said, "That's right, this might be an opportunity for us to fight against the Zerg."

The group began to consider how to use these mutated trees to fight the Zerg. They knew that the battle was far from over, and many more challenges awaited them in the future…

After some discussion, Lin Zhi and his team decided to conduct in-depth research on the characteristics of these mutated trees. They established a temporary camp near Tree Ridge and began collecting samples of the mutated trees for analysis.

Yan Jun meticulously observed the structure of the trees and the composition of the strange substances every day, trying to figure out the principle behind their restraining effect on the Zerg. Zhang Ying was responsible for recording Yan Jun's discoveries and reviewing the various materials they carried, searching for relevant clues.

Lin Zhi, along with Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan, went out to search for more mutated trees in order to obtain more comprehensive information. During one of their explorations, they discovered a much larger mutated forest where the trees were even more severely mutated and emitted a more powerful energy.

“This forest looks more dangerous, but we might find more useful things here,” Lin Zhi said.

Hua Yuan was a little worried. "Sister, this place feels even more eerie than Tree Ridge. Do we really want to go in?"

Zhang Yuan patted Hua Yuan on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, we'll be careful."

The three cautiously entered the woods, with strange noises coming from all around them, as if countless eyes were watching them from the shadows.

Suddenly, a huge tree hole appeared in front of them, emanating a powerful suction force.

"Be careful, there seems to be some danger here," Lin Zhi said.

Just as they were about to leave, an even larger insectoid flew out of the tree hollow. Its wings shimmered with multicolored light, and a mysterious energy shield surrounded its body.

"What kind of Zerg is this? I've never seen anything like it before!" Zhang Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

The insectoid creature let out a sharp cry and flew rapidly toward them.

Lin Zhi and his group quickly prepared for battle and engaged in a thrilling fight against this powerful insectoid...
