"The demon fiends outside have broken in."

Cutting off the mental connection with Wen Yu, Victor perfunctorily reported the communication content to Cyclops beside him.

Cyclops shivered instantly, his whole body surging with blood, clearly impatient for a grand showdown!

Looking at the battle-ready Cyclops, Victor yawned in boredom...

With the existence of the Netherworld, Victor, who was clearly aware of the outside situation, was not worried about the crisis above, he just squinted his eyes, staring fixedly at the land diagonally in front of him.

Afraid? What is there to be afraid of?

As Wen Yu's smartest soul pet, Victor was well aware of his boss's personality—if it truly came to a life-or-death crisis, Wen Yu would definitely abandon this nascent "strongest life form" and run at the drop of a hat!

Being Earth's strongest independent hero, Wen Yu's independent hero demeanor has long been ingrained—having nothing, he dared to fight hard, risking his life for wealth, yet when he has ample resources, what could match the value of his little life?

Now, whatever Wen Yu wants, he has it, exhaustively using Esoteric Level skills, wants a soul pet? Can't get Earth's strongest, then go for the second strongest, and many top-quality divine beast species are lining up awaiting Wen Yu's favor...

In short, the so-called Soul Pet No. 6, in Wen Yu's eyes, might just be the icing on the cake—the strongest is naturally good, but if the first is unattainable, settling for the second best seems acceptable.

Thinking about this, Victor calmed himself, and with the power of the Netherworld breaking through the surface, directly shot onto the two ants, one large and one small, underground, Victor squinted his eyes to scrutinize for a while, finally sighing lightly.

"Hold on, boss, it's a pity if you really don't want this one..."

...

The ant guard inhaled and exhaled massive amounts of poison fog, providing Luo Luo with unimaginable advancement energy. In less than an hour, Luo Luo, at Early Stage Level 3, had already reached Peak Level 3, and soon, the barrier from Level 3 to Level 4 was like a layer of soaked straw paper that broke at a poke.

The joy of advancement enveloped his heart, perceiving that he had already reached Level 4, Luo Luo quickly looked at his newly developed skills.

As the level increased, Luo Luo's intelligence grew stronger, and it was evident that current Luo Luo finally realized that he might have obtained some significant fortune!

Fortune signifies power!

And skills, in a certain sense, can completely represent power.

The newly developed skill was straightforward.

Refuge of Nurture (SSS-Class, Passive Skill) (ability derived from Heart of the Swarm) (Exclusive skill for Amalgamated Consciousness Entity) (Ant Tribe exclusive): Your will is blessed and sheltered by Mother Earth, the breeding capability of the tribe you control will be greatly enhanced, while the qualifications and spiritual wisdom of the newborns will slightly improve, increasing the likelihood of becoming Innate Mutant Beasts.

Note: Innate Mutant Beasts are high-grade mutant beasts with levels from birth, with initial levels determined by both parents' levels.

(What's this? Second Generation Mutants? Born to win at the starting line, tsk tsk, lucky little fellows.)

An "ordinary" skill—compared to Luo Luo's first three skills.

As the Amalgamated Consciousness Entity of the Ant Tribe, the importance of the tribe's breeding capacity and scale is self-evident, overall, this ability is undoubtedly an indispensable skill for Luo Luo.

The newly developed skill is a passive ability, from an external standpoint, it naturally shows nothing, what Luo Luo doesn't know is that because nothing is visibly showing, it made a black cat spying from above scratch its ears and cheeks in anxiety.

The curiosity of a cat is always intense...

...

Luo Luo, having advanced to Level 4, had greatly enhanced his poison fog absorption and expulsion ability, yet as expected, the situation unfolded.

The concentration of plague fog within New Hope Assembly Place ultimately had its limits, when a massive amount of poison fog gushed into Luo Luo's body, the concentration of poison fog in the air unavoidably dropped significantly—the poison fog Luo Luo absorbed was an amount so terrifying that even external poison fog could not replenish!

Noticing the slowing advancement speed, Luo Luo, however, was continuously shrouded in an inexplicable sense of crisis, gently swaying his antennae, his greatly enhanced Perception Ability spread all around, and the next second, Luo Luo immediately sensed the slight tremors of the tunnel walls and the faint noise from outside.

Luo Luo took a deep breath, with a flick of his antennae, a wave of consciousness instantly transmitted to the body of the ant guard.

The ant guard, with most of its body lying submerged in the river, sank into the water immediately, soon, layers of bubbles continuously emerged around the ant guard's body, and in a short time, the green river water around the ant guard visibly became clear.

Drawing energy from the source of the plague is indeed much faster than normal poison cloud suction and expulsion, of course, the required strength must be a bit stronger, now, Luo Luo's level is just right.

The previously slowed advancement speed surged once again, in less than 10 minutes, Luo Luo had already advanced from Early Stage Level 4 to Middle Stage Level 4!

Just as Luo Luo was pushing towards Peak Level 4, a deafening explosion sounded from above, the next second, the surging demonic qi transformed into a terrifying storm, rapidly sweeping through the entire New Hope Assembly Place!
