Whether it is the Imperial Guard or the Farmers, all tactics revolve around the deployment of long-range firepower. However, this miraculous phenomenon known as Zi Wu can ignore all long-range attacks. The principles behind it remain unclear to this day, but the effects of Zi Wu are very evident. It disregards any long-range weaponry, whether it be machine guns, cannons, or missiles. None of these weapons can have any effect within the purple smoke.
Ye Feihong observed the situation of the Brain Worms through a telescope, using the positioning provided by the Imperial Guard. Directly in front, he could not see the Brain Worms. Each Brain Worm was surrounded by numerous dark creatures serving as guardians. These dark beings were not mere Dark Zombies or Dark Insects; such low-tier creatures were not even qualified to approach the Brain Worms.
It was quite simple. They not only protected the Brain Worms but also safeguarded themselves. The closer one was to a Brain Worm, the more one could benefit from the protection of Zi Wu. Thus, surrounding each Brain Worm were exceptionally powerful dark creatures. Here, only the most robust Abominations were qualified to stand at the edge. The massive Mammoths could only serve as cannon fodder at the front lines.
The closest beings to the Brain Worms were a group of very peculiar creatures.
Their four legs resembled sticks, somewhat akin to the legs of a grasshopper. The waist was also stick-like. However, the upper body was incredibly robust. Ye Feihong harbored doubts about whether their slender bodies could support their broad upper halves. The lower body resembled that of an insect, while the upper body appeared as if it were a heavily armored human.
Clad in golden shells, their upper bodies were tightly encased. They looked like Golden Saints. In the Dark World, golden beings were exceedingly rare. Most dark creatures had deep-colored skin, such as black or purple. Yet here stood a shimmering dark creature known as the Dark Colossus.
According to the Imperial Guard's data, these Dark Colossi were equally terrifying dark beings. They possessed two formidable abilities: an Energy Shield and long-range laser attacks. Even without the Brain Worm, their Energy Shield could withstand many tank armor-piercing rounds.
From their shoulder joints, which lacked arms, they could unleash powerful lasers capable of slicing through tanks. Any steel appeared weak in the face of the Dark Colossus's lasers, whose temperatures far exceeded the melting point of steel. When struck by a Dark Colossus's laser, no modern weapon could withstand it. If steel could not endure, then most plants certainly could not either, including Ye Feihong's War Tree.
These fearsome Dark Colossi posed significant damage to the War Tree as well.
The Brain Worm lay hidden deep within the Dark Colossus.
Upon witnessing the scene before him, Ye Feihong gasped in shock. The enemy he faced this time was far more terrifying than the previous two waves combined, a threat ten times greater. It wasn't just the sheer number of them—forty thousand terrifying creatures—but rather the quality of these dark beings.
Even without the Brain Worm, the numbers of Dark Colossus, Mammoths, and Abominations were significantly higher than before. As for ordinary Dark Zombies, Ye Feihong wouldn’t feel the slightest fear even if there were four million of them; they were merely walking Spirit Points.
However, looking at these horrifying dark creatures now filled Ye Feihong with a sense of dread. This was the first time he felt genuinely threatened by the Dark Creature Army, a test that could endanger his life.
In the distance, Liu Meili had also started a live stream. She had discovered a type of plant known as Crystal Flower. While this plant lacked any offensive capabilities, its leaves could transform into something resembling High-Performance Lenses. By arranging several leaves with different mirror surfaces, she was able to create a super high-magnification telescope that captured clear images of the Dark Creature Army in the canyon several miles away.
