<h4>Chapter 695: Exploding Bug Cave</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Abyssruler <strong>Editor: </strong>Lucas


    Wang Zheng said out his thoughts aloud, he had already thought through a lot. There was also an advantage in trying it out now. If there was any ident, there was at least one Ability X master around. The freezing ability itself had the effect of calming one down.


    After knowing about Wang Zheng’s thoughts, Old Zhuo was also speechless. This kid was simply a maniac. “What you are going to do is suicidal. You are already in such a dangerous ce and yet you want to try out such a dangerous activity.”


    “Since we are already in danger, there’s no harm with a little more danger. Moreover, I feel that if I could achieve a breakthrough, my strength would also increase. This would be beneficial to our escape n. Otherwise, I would likely be burdening you still.”


    Wang Zhengughed. Although he understood most of the details, he stillcked the training and it was unlikely that he could improve his Ability X rapidly. To damage the Zerg in the Abyss, one would still need to depend on their Ability X. It was especially so to the Grade 2 Zerg.


    If it wasn’t because of Old Zhuo’s ns, Wang Zheng might have tried it out on the spot. However, he was able to control such urges in the end. After all, he would still need to wait for an opportunity after returning from this exploration.


    After 10 days of journey, Wang Zheng and Old Zhuo finally saw their destination point.


    They could see from their naked eye that in the area not far away, the colors were starting to brighten up and wasn’t as gloomy. The feeling Wang Zheng got was that it was a different realm. Wang Zheng and Old Zhuo parked their mecha in a more hidden location. They walked till the edge of the cliff andy prone on the ground. The world seen through the telescope had made Wang Zheng speechless.


    That was a low-lying area and seemed just like a canyon. There were densely packed Zerg biting and battling one another. The whole region was divided into more than 10 areas. Although there weren’t clear boundaries, the Zerg seemed to know the boundaries and only fought among themselves within the circle. Their crazy looks were just as though they were in a real battle.


    “Could it be that the Zerg were also training their soldiers?” Wang Zheng swallowed his saliva. Although he knew that the reproductive ability of the Zerg was their number one ability, this was still too wasteful.


    “This was their way to evolve. By allowing the same species to fight and swallow each other, the final survivor would be the gic temte. This was how the advanced Zerg came about.” said Old Zhuo. The wind in this ce was getting piercingly cold. The bloody smell had also be stronger. This had caused the old injuries on him to start to ache vaguely. “Take a few more looks and carve it in your mind. Wang Zheng, you have to remember this no matter what it takes, we can never allow the Zerg to breach the Abyss!”


    Wang Zheng’s gaze had started to look further. There were many Zerg that he had never seen or heard before. He had seen quite a number of Zerg in theb of Butcher. However, those couldn’t be seen in this ce. This would only mean one thing. Those Zerg that humans had captured were just cannon fodder in the army of Zerg. It might be that the main target of the Zerg now weren’t humans.


    And yet the humans had been feeling great about themselves.


    In an evolutionary field, it was filled with round tentacled monsters. If these Zerg were to appear in front of the humans, they would definitely be considered as intelligent Zerg with low battling capabilities. However...


    Those huge Zerg had ws like steel whips. Whenever the ws hit the ground, there would be a mark left on the ground. These Zerg might look round but they were still very agile. Looking closely, they werepletely suspended in the air.


    Several hundreds of Zerg were tangled together with their ws whipping around. However with arge siren, the Zerg went crazy. Rumbling...


    Wang Zheng was dumbfounded. What the hell were those things???


    These tentacled monsters spit aser cannon-like thing from their mouths. Instantly, countless energy cannons shot outwards in the surrounding area. Those Zerg which were battling in the surrounding areas were swept clean.


    This wasn’t the same as the energy cannon of the humans but was undoubtedly a kind of energy weapon. Moreover, it was highly corrosive. The rocks which were hit by the energy cannon had all melted and giving off a green smoke.


    After a period of rage, surprisingly, there were still over 10 tentacle monsters alive. These tentacle monsters started to shimmer in blood-red light.


    “These things are evolving.” said Old Zhuo. With regard to such scenes, Old Zhuo wasn’t like Wang Zheng who had never seen the “world”.


    “Evolving to Grade 3?”


    “Grade 2.”


    Student Wang was dumbfounded. This damned thing was only a Grade 1?


    “There are too many species of Zerg. The same Grade 1 Zerg which we have seen before might have very different abilities here. Obviously if the Grade 1 had strong abilities, it would be more terrifying when it evolves. Although we do not know what methods they use, it should be a kind of energy absorption and could be ssified as an area of biological engineering that we have not dabbled into.” Old Zhuo was also an expert and so was Wang Zheng. Although biological engineering wasn’t what he specialised in, he still had a general view on it after listening a lot from Butcher.


    After a round of rage, those surviving tentacle monsters suddenly quietened down while the other Zerg in other battle ground started to scamper.


    Just when they thought that the Zerg would engage in a fierce battle again, an earth-shattering sounded from afar.


    The area where Wang Zheng and Old Zhuo were at could also feel the vibration in the ground. Wang Zheng’s eyes contracted. In a distance... there seemed to be something...


    In just a moment of thought, the ground suddenly exploded. An unknown thing emerged from it. All the tentacle monsters were instantly shaken. The energy cannon of the tentacle monsters fired towards this monster almost simultaneously.


    However these previously peerless cannons were sucked in by the monster. After which, the tentacle monsters were eaten by the huge sized monster behind them one after another.


    The monster dived back into the hole after devouring all the tentacle monsters and disappeared without a trace.


    “This thing.... What grade was it...”


    “It should be a... Grade 2” Old Zhuo wasn’t certain too. He had not seen such species before.


    Lightning-like digging speed while having an extremely strong ability in absorbing and resisting against energy beams. Moreover, its attacking move sets weren’t limited to just this.


    Wang Zheng had the same thoughts as Old Zhuo and that was to never allow such monster to leave this ce.


    After the monster disappeared, densely packed Zerg started swarming out again and continued this brutal evolution process that only the Zerg could achieve.


    Wang Zheng’s mind was like well-forged steel and yet he could feel chills up his spine.


    Both of them sat on the floor with their back facing each other. After taking huge breath, they managed to calm themselves down. “Let’s go back.”


    Old Zhuo said. He had brought Wang Zheng so far to let him see the real core area of the Zerg. Moreover, this was definitely just the tip of the iceberg.


    “We weren’t going to go deeper to take a look?” asked Wang Zheng.


    Old Zhuo pointed ahead and said,” We will be out of the rubbish dump if we progress further.”


    Without additional exnation, Wang Zheng could understand it. The Zerg’ feeling about rubbish dump was simr to the feelings humans had about rubbish dumps. Once it was at the boundary, with just the two of them, the Zerg would eliminate them within minutes.


    This scene had truly shocked Wang Zheng. However, it had also strengthened Wang Zheng’s resolve to attempt to create his Cultivation Technique!


    He wanted to establish his own 8 Point Cultivation Technique to train his Ability X!


    The foundation originated from his Breathing Technique and Primordial Regression Technique. This could be considered as standing on the shoulders of the giants. Cultivation Techniques were created by humans. If others could do it, why couldn’t he. Even if it didn’t work, there should always be at least the guts to try it out.


    To go against such Zerg, depending on physical techniques would be hopeless. One had to have sufficient Ability X to caused damage or kill it.


    On their way back, there wasn’t much interaction between the 2 of them and it wasn’t as lively. Clearly, they were under a lot of stress after seeing the situation with the Zerg. If they didn’t understand, it wouldn’t bother them. However once they knew about it and after knowing about the behaviours of the Zerg, the Abyss was really not a great ce to be.


    The humans were still busy exploring to obtain the technology and resources that the Abyss provided. However, wouldn’t this be giving the Zerg an opportunity? Considering the space devouring Zerg and the method the Zerg used to transport things, it was clear that they had their own understanding of space technology. Without which, the Zerg wouldn’t be able to expand across gxies.


    Although the humans had established the Milky Way Alliance, the truth was that there were still a lot of unknown ces within the Milky Way. The Zerg was probably the number 1rgest race in the whole universe.


    In the past, humans had secured victories in the battles with the Zerg and were able to control the Milky Way tightly. Wang Zheng now felt confused about this result. How could the reinforcement teams of the Zerg not arrive?


    Going and returning from the trip took close to 20 days. However, this had also given Wang Zheng a different understanding of the Zerg from others. He no longer had the mentality of underestimating the Zerg. What he had to do now wasn’t simply to get out alive but also to bring out this valuable information.


    Looking at Old Zhuo’s determined expression, Wang Zheng suddenly understood what had supported Old Zhuo to remain living till now. This was definitely not just feelings for his close family.


    It wasn’t those that always talked about heroism that made one a soldier.


    It might be because Old Zhuo had not visited that ce for some time, after returning to their base, Old Zhuo started organising his things again. His escape n had to be revised. This was because once they hadunched the attack, there might be such unexpected changes. Just one such change would be too much for them to handle.


    Wang Zheng started to understand his own spiritual world. It was the first time that he had examined the Primordial Regression Technique so seriously. The truth was that Primordial Regression Technique would have a certain level of effect on his spiritual strength. It was just that it focused more on training the body. What he needed was to understand the part that would affect his Ability X specifically and to strengthen this portion. Alternatively speaking, it was to derive something out.


    Although Wang Zheng was brave, he wasn’t silly. He knew that changing one part would affect the rest and he had to consider over and over again. Old Zhuo didn’t stop him too. Considering the circumstances, it would be better if Wang Zheng was stronger. It was especially so if he considered the Zerg ability to travel thousands of miles in an instant. This was too terrifying.


    That digging monster seemed to havee from a faraway ce but appeared in just an instant.


    Moreover, with the Zerg understanding of space and invisibility, if one couldn’t see them, it doesn’t mean that they weren’t around.


    For the following days, Old Zhuo was responsible for surveying the environment. On the other hand, Wang Zheng had started strengthening his Ability X. From time to time, he would also spar with Old Zhuo. However, this wasn’t for seeing who was stronger or weaker. With Wang Zheng’s physical techniques, he would have a chance to win in a battle with any opponent. There wasn’t meaning in winning or losing. The main point was on how Wang Zheng could strengthen his Ability X and be stronger.


    In the desperate environment of the Abyss, Wang Zheng finally calmed down. Things that were happening outside had nothing to do with him. If he couldn’t make it out, it would be futile. This had allowed him to enter a highly focused world that he wasn’t able to enter for a long time. This was also the credit of the Zerg. What Wang Zheng had seen had a strong impact on him. This was the greatest motivation for him. Wang Zheng had dreamt about those monsters more than once while sleeping. With that kind of power, how could they evade them?


    The Golden Wheel definitely couldn’t make it. He was too na?ve. Even if he had sufficient Ability X, Golden Wheel’s multi-angle mobility ability still wasn’t enough!
