Chapter 526 - 249: Slaying the Yong’an River Mother Empress

Chapter 526: Chapter 249: Slaying the Yong’an River Mother Empress

He would absorb the Mother Empress’s Life Energy, simultaneously achieving a qualitative transformation and enhancement of his own cells.

Having dealt with the Mother Empress, Lin Feng breathed a temporary sigh of relief.

A notification immediately appeared before him:

"The Life Energy of the Mother Empress’s symbiotic Hatching Nest can be further absorbed by your equipment!"

"Note: This absorption will only grant equipment Upgrade Points and cannot trigger a Tier Two lifeform’s Tier Jumping Upgrade. After absorption, the Mother Empress’s symbiotic Hatching Nest will have no further use!"

Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed. He immediately piloted the Reproductive Armor Mecha behind the Mother Empress’s zerg body and looked at the fractured Hatching Nest.

As an additional source of the Zerg Race Mother Empress’s immense Life Value, its flesh was composed of Tier Three Cells. Its Quality Level had reached Tier Three Golden, making it vastly different from ordinary Tier Two Biological Nests.

In fact, Ling Yi had planned to absorb the remaining Life Energy from it and the Mother Empress’s corpse to accumulate what she needed for her own advancement and upgrade.

This was the cooperation she and Lin Feng had agreed upon.

Now that Ling Yi wasn’t here, Lin Feng would gladly accept this benefit for himself.

It was just enough to accumulate half the energy required to upgrade his Lv30 Ion Laser Cannon.

As the Reproductive Armor Mecha’s left-arm Laser Cannon plunged into the symbiotic Hatching Nest, the Life Energy within, which had not yet dissipated, was immediately absorbed completely.

"Lv30 Ion Laser Cannon has gained Upgrade Points +1."

"Ion Laser Cannon Lv30/39, Golden Quality"

"Upgrade Points: 1/2, Basic Damage: 1000, Effective Range: 20 kilometers, Instantaneous Fire Times: Unlimited, Energy-Gathering Ion Cannon: 10/10, Energy Recovery Speed: 1/h"

"Extra Attributes: Laser Energy Concentration (After locking on and firing, each Ion Light Cannon blast persists for 10 seconds. In addition to its Basic Damage, it deals an extra 500 Damage per second as its temperature rises.)"

"Can be switched back to Lv29 Electromagnetic Cannon mode."

This meant that by killing just one more Tier Three Early-stage Mother Empress, Lin Feng could simultaneously upgrade to Level 33.

This would bring him to Tier Three Early-Stage Perfection.

Combined with his Reproductive Armor Mecha, his personal strength had reached the peak of the Early Stage. All of his Attributes could break the four-thousand-point ceiling, giving him the power to kill a Level 34 or 35 Mother Empress!

At this moment, having lost their Mother Empress’s command, every Swarm in the entire Nest and surrounding Zerg Race territory fell into a state of aimless confusion.

As a result, they were quickly killed and cleared out by the Tier Two Genetic Warriors leading the Tier One Awakeners.

Qin Hu also led a team to find the Tier Two Hatching Nest, prying two hundred Tier Two Zerg Eggs from it.

One hundred of these Zerg Eggs had already hatched and matured, making them usable only by Tier Two Middle-Late Stage Awakeners.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng’s own Genetic Warriors had all advanced to Tier Two Late Stage Perfection after this battle and no longer needed the extra boost from the Zerg Eggs.

In the end, Qin Hu directly allocated the one hundred unhatched, raw Zerg Eggs to the Salvation Army.

He kept the matured Zerg Eggs for himself, which didn’t have much Organic Nutrient Liquid left.

This was mainly because all the Biological Material on the ground, including the corpses of the Tiger Spine Zergs, already belonged to Qin Hu. The large number of Genetic Warriors under his command could directly absorb the fluid extracted from the zerg corpses to supplement their nutrition.

Consequently, they didn’t have a great need for the Organic Nutrient Liquid from the Tier Two Zerg Eggs.

This was unlike Lin Feng’s group, which was under immense logistical pressure.

Killing the Mother Empress had taken only forty minutes, and annihilating the entire Swarm had taken another hour and a half. Cleaning up the battlefield, however, took a full five hours.

By the time everyone left Yong’an River, fully loaded with spoils, it was already 1:00 PM.

The Reproductive Armor Mecha piloted by Lin Feng was also carrying a Biological Reproductive Armor of the same size on its back, one that was firmly spliced together using the Mother Empress’s ligaments.

He had scavenged it from the Mother Empress’s headless zerg body, carefully matching the parts one-to-one against a complete Reproductive Armor Mecha.

This included the spine that supported the body, the interconnected sinews, the strong and plentiful muscles, as well as some nerve tissues, hydrogen-storing stomach sacs, and more.

Since he couldn’t take the entire zerg corpse, he had to resort to this less-than-ideal plan.

Fortunately, before they had set out, Ling Yi had already told Lin Feng which tissues and organs he needed to extract from the Mother Empress’s zerg body.

「Half an hour later.」 In Beihai Town, Lin Feng hastily bid farewell to Qin Hu, reminding him to make preparations. Then, he and his people were transported back to the Yunxia Ridge garrison by a troop transport armored vehicle.

Next up was the Realm Trial for the group of Tier Two Late Stage Perfection Genetic Warriors!

’I wonder about this Collective Mental Realm Trial...’

’How many of them will successfully defeat the King Spine Zerg and obtain the Spine Zerg Race’s Realm Inheritance!’
