In the Virtual Universe, on the Central Square surrounded by 1004 towering buildings.
At this moment, there were already hundreds of thousands of eliminated Geniuses on the Central Square.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Almost within a few seconds, more than ten figures were simultaneously teleported to the Central Square.
Bao Yan, who had just been eliminated, saw Lanka, who was very close to Ender, and went up to greet him, "Hmm, Lanka, you were eliminated too?"
"I was eliminated long ago," Lanka said helplessly. "The third Trial Tower was too difficult. I only just passed the first level, and then I was submerged and eliminated by a swarm of Nine-Headed Pythons on the second level."
"Oh, you passed the first level of the third Trial Tower, so you shouldn't have been eliminated so early," Bao Yan said doubtfully. "I was desperately killing enemies quickly and was eliminated on the fifth level of the third Trial Tower."
"I never hoped to enter the top 7300 on the Standings , so my enemy-killing speed was also very fast," Lanka explained. "I saw many people, similar to me, who were eliminated in the third Trial Tower."
Seven Trial Towers.
All 1,004,000 Geniuses passed the first and second Trial Towers, but starting from the first level of the third Trial Tower, a large number of Geniuses were eliminated.
The third Trial Tower eliminated the most people, almost ninety percent of the total!
"Yes!" Bao Yan exclaimed, "The third Trial Tower was too difficult. I was punched into the ground by a Mechanical Race Puppet on the fifth level, and then stomped to death!"
"Haha!" Hearing how Bao Yan was eliminated, Lanka couldn't help but laugh. "I'm better than you; I was just swallowed whole after being submerged by a swarm of Nine-Headed Pythons."
A few days later.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three more Geniuses were eliminated and teleported to the Central Square.
"Hey! Mad Axe!" Seeing the familiar Mad Axe among the eliminated people, Bao Yan went up to greet him, "Which Trial Tower did you reach?"
"The first level of the fourth," Mad Axe shook his head. "The fourth Trial Tower is too difficult; just the first level is harder than the seventh level of the third Trial Tower!"
"If you can reach the fourth Trial Tower, your score ranking should be able to enter the top 100,000," Bao Yan said.
"It's far from the top 100,000; if it's not in the top 7300, I won't be able to enter the arena stage after all," Mad Axe shook his head, then asked, "Which Trial Tower is Ender currently challenging?"
Lanka, who was beside him, pointed to a light screen in the sky and said, "The fifth."
… …
Trial Space.
On a meteorite in the cosmic Starfield, there were seven Trial Towers, and on the seventh level of the fifth Trial Tower.
This was an infinite desert.
On the green land in the distance of the desert, there was a spherical object with a diameter of 120 meters, its surface pitted and scarred, with some venom flowing and faintly emitting toxic gas.
120 meters is equivalent to forty stories high, meaning a huge Zerg Queen almost 40 stories high with a pitted surface.
Suddenly, from all the pitted areas, blue, sticky, armored, triangular-headed Zerg creatures emerged.
These Zerg creatures all had two antennae, large compound eyes, lean bodies, two hind legs supporting their bodies, and four forelegs that resembled battle knives, with two translucent wings on their backs.
From the giant 40-story high Zerg Queen, each pit was about one meter in diameter, and almost instantly, 1000 Zerg creatures poured out from the Zerg Queen's surface!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three consecutive waves produced approximately 3000 Zerg creatures, all of them "Green Mantis."
Green Mantis are a common type of cannon fodder among the "Combat-type Zerg" in the Zerg. When referred to as cannon fodder, it implies cannon fodder appearing on the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Fortunately, the strength of the entire "Zerg Queen" has been adjusted, otherwise, a real Zerg Queen can birth many types, which can be categorized by function into detection, assassination, long-range attack, siege, etc. If categorized by structure, there are even more divisions.
"An intelligent opponent is difficult to deal with; she has released all the bred Zerg warriors."
Ender, who had long since switched to a fourth-tier flying Spirit Weapon, looked at the 3000 Green Mantis emerging from the Zerg Queen and felt it was tricky.
The Zerg Queen needs time to breed Zerg creatures.
These 3000 were already bred. The Zerg Queen's breeding ability in reality would not be so poor, otherwise, how could it easily occupy a Star System or even a Starfield.
"My movement technique is not good enough. It will be very difficult to break through the Zerg Queen and kill the Zerg Queen hidden within while being besieged by 3000 Green Mantis."
Thinking of this, Ender thought again, "I have to use the second form of Green Vine Pillar — Endless Vine — on this level."
With this thought, he used his Spiritual Force to drive the Green Vine Pillar, and the Wood Origin Law fluctuations emerged. Two intertwining and rotating vines, seemingly growing continuously, emerged from the top of the Green Vine Pillar, then continuously extended towards the attacking Green Mantis.
In a blink of an eye, the Green Vine Pillar behind Ender had completely disappeared, transforming into continuously growing and extending vines, shimmering with green light.
This was precisely the second form of Green Vine Pillar — Endless Vine!
Whoosh…!
The green light-shimmering vines continuously grew and extended. Any Green Mantis Zerg warriors in their path were pierced by countless tiny vines, and their pierced bodies turned into shattered limbs flying everywhere.
Seeing how terrifying the green vines were, the Zerg Queen quickly ordered the Green Mantis to resist, hoping to rely on their numerical advantage to stop the green vines.
Under the Zerg Queen's command, the Green Mantis attacked the green vines one after another, and some Green Mantis also blocked the green vines' growth path while attacking.
Whoosh…!
The growth and extension of the green vines were unstoppable, piercing through the Green Mantis in their path. Those Green Mantis who miraculously survived quickly recovered after devouring the corpses of their kin, then went to block the green vines again.
Buzz!
Suddenly, hundreds of Green Mantis broke away from the main force blocking the green vines and collectively flew towards Ender.
"Heh!" Ender chuckled lightly. "Only now do you think of coming to kill me, and only sending a few hundred Green Mantis? You underestimate me too much."
Although he had not comprehended the two supreme Laws of 'Space' and 'Time,' nor the three subordinate Laws of 'Wind,' 'Lightning,' and 'Light' that are good for movement techniques, he had Cultivated movement technique secret arts containing the Wood Origin Law.
Therefore, he was not very weak in terms of movement technique; he just wasn't proficient.
Whoosh!
Stepping on the fourth-tier flying Spirit Weapon, Ender's flying speed was extremely fast, and his movement trajectory was elegant and unpredictable, making it difficult for the hundreds of Green Mantis following him to catch up, let alone attack him.
On the other side, the rapidly growing and extending green vines finally reached the Zerg Queen, "Puchi" drilling into the forty-story high Zerg Queen.
After the green vines drilled in, the pitted Zerg Queen wriggled frantically, and not long after, it burst open, and a beautiful figure over six meters tall flew out.
That beautiful figure was precisely the Zerg Queen. Her entire body was white and crystal-clear like crystal, with beautiful butterfly-like transparent wings. Her face was shrouded in a faint mist, possessing extraordinary charm, and a series of strange and beautiful musical sounds rang out, entering people's ears.
"Heh, charm," Ender, who was flying rapidly, chuckled lightly, completely unconcerned.
Chirp!
A sharp Divine Thought pierced into his mind, was ground away by the slowly rotating Eye of Distortion, and then a small amount of Spiritual Force was absorbed to replenish the consumed Spiritual Force.
Puchi!
The green vines emerged from the ruptured Zerg Queen, rapidly growing and extending towards the beautiful Zerg Queen in the air. Any Green Mantis attempting to block them were pierced by countless tiny vines, and then the green vines caught up and pierced into the Zerg Queen's head, killing her!
With the Zerg Queen's death, Ender passed the seventh level of the fifth Trial Tower…
