Chapter 3185: Hypermutant
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Nasir was full of confidence, while Fang Heng slowly lifted his head, looking into the depths of the swarm.
The aura of the Seed of Ouroboros!
It wasn’t that simple.
In the brief moment they spoke, the swarm immediately stirred.
The entire mutant worm swarm churned violently, more mutant worms leaping out of the wormhole. After gathering, they surged densely toward the Noel Clan’s forward base, including elite units and creep worms.
"Notice, a large-scale mutant worm nest has appeared ahead. Creature level: Level 7."
"Notice, hypermutant worm creatures detected ahead."
The ship detected the anomaly and immediately sounded the alarm.
Nasir was momentarily stunned at the alarm. He thought to himself, he had just been full of confidence, and now it was giving him a strength warning?
Looking up, he saw huge black shadows among the densely packed swarm ahead.
The giant-sized creep worms, composed of numerous smaller creep worms, appeared on the battlefield like fortresses, slowly advancing toward the ships.
The hypermutant worms had extremely strong defense abilities. As they advanced, large patches of creep spilled from their bodies while they sprayed massive amounts of acidic corrosion forward.
If the corrosion touched the protective suits, the energy shields would be severely weakened, and the overall energy points would drop rapidly.
Commander Ronny of the fleet’s heart sank, and he immediately ordered the ships to use high-tier beam weapons to concentrate fire on the hypermutant worms.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!!
Several high-tier focused beams hit the hypermutant creep worm.
However, the hypermutant worms’ terrifying defense meant that the spots struck by the beams were covered in splattered, stinking slime, yet they continued to advance slowly with stubborn vitality.
On the battlefield, the hypermutant worms moved like slow-moving meat mountains, step by step pushing forward.
They still couldn’t be killed?
The mercenaries on the base’s periphery turned pale, hastily pulling their triggers while trying to use control-type spells to slow the hypermutant worms.
If the hypermutant worms got close, the entire peripheral defense would be completely destroyed.
The two martial artists at the front exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and simultaneously released psychic shock and earth confinement.
"Bang!"
The invisible psychic attack caused the hypermutant worm to stagger.
However, the mutant creatures themselves were resistant to psychic power. After a brief pause, they continued advancing slowly, though the spikes emerging from the ground hindered their movement.
On the ship, Captain Ronny of the Noel Clan furrowed his brow, signaling the ships to retreat gradually, lengthening the frontline to buy more time to weaken the hypermutants with ranged weapons.
The defensive line began moving backward step by step.
Fang Heng’s gaze focused on the hypermutant creep worm slowly advancing toward the ships.
Nasir’s eyes darkened slightly and said, "Brother Fang Heng, here it comes."
"Mm, be careful, I’ll go help."
Whoosh!
Fang Heng lightly tapped the ground with his toes and chased after the creep worm.
Klaus and the combat team were surrounding the ship, dealing with the mutant creatures. Seeing the giant worm approaching like a mountain, they felt an overwhelming pressure.
Suddenly, a figure darted straight toward the hypermutant worm.
"It’s Fang Heng!"
Excitement flashed in the eyes of Klaus and the other youths.
The two martial artists at the front noticed Fang Heng rushing directly into the surging swarm and were momentarily startled.
Are high-tier martial artists all this brave? Charging into a wave of worms? Wouldn’t he be drowned instantly?
Whoosh!!
In the next moment, a terrifying aura of death emanated from Fang Heng.
The domain of death!
It opened!
The domain condensed!
A dense layer of grayish death covered the area within the domain.
Any creep worm that tried to approach Fang Heng immediately gained a layer of death-gray, their bodies rapidly aging!
At the same time, the blood inside the creep worms surged uncontrollably.
Their aging bodies could not contain the flowing blood and exploded midair one by one!
Nasir was shocked. He looked up, staring at Fang Heng with astonishment.
Good heavens! A domain power!
D*mn!
A domain!
This was a sign of reaching God-level power!
This kid, gone only a few days, had already mastered domain power?
How did his strength improve so terrifyingly?
Is he even still human?
On the ship, Noel Clan elder Nute also focused on Fang Heng, his eyes reflecting suspicion.
On one hand, he was indeed surprised at Fang Heng’s rapid growth in strength.
A martial artist who could wield a domain was extremely rare, even in the Noel Clan.
But strangely, he had never seen a domain ability like Fang Heng’s.
Could it be a mutation from a special racial ability?
Fang Heng’s figure darted through the air, rapidly closing in on the hypermutant creep worm, with surrounding creep worms exploding as he passed.
As he approached the hypermutant creep worm, Fang Heng flicked his wrist, summoning a dark scythe wrapped in red light.
"Whoosh!!"
The scythe sliced through the air, leaving a shadowy arc.
Fang Heng swept past the hypermutant creep worm.
Almost simultaneously, the small-hill-sized body of the hypermutant creep worm split open with an enormous dark-red rift.
The aura of death attached to the wound, rapidly corroding the hypermutant worm’s body.
"Ka, ka ka, ka ka..."
Under the dark shadow, the worm’s body turned deathly black, aging and corrupting rapidly, while masses of mutant worms poured from the wound.
In the unseen depths, the breath of death invaded the hypermutant worm’s body through the fissure, violently destroying it.
"Boom!!!!"
With a thunderous explosion, the hypermutant worm shattered in the center of the battlefield.
"Chi! Chi chi!!!!"
A large amount of corrosive slime spread across the battlefield, releasing a foul, burnt smell.
Before the slime burst outward, Fang Heng had already retreated.
[Hint: The player killed the hypermutant worm.]

Description: The hypermutant creature is formed by thousands of mutant worms gathering. It completely sacrifices agility but gains higher main body attributes, can absorb more damage, and gains additional damage reduction and HP recovery. After the hypermutant breaks, it divides into normal constituent units, which die within ten minutes.
