After a careful look, Fang Heng roughly understood the skill's effect.

Although the Ouroboros Seed offers a more convenient method of modification, it also incurs additional consumption of main god points.

Fortunately, he still had over 30 million main god points left from before.

Solidifying a permanent burrowing modification effect on a zombie clone only costs 2,000 main god points.

That's enough for a wave of modifications.

Since he happened to have some time, he decided to modify two first to test the effect.

【Prompt: The player has chosen to use main god points to exchange for research and modification items. Please collect sufficient gene samples. Current skill: Stealth, gene collection rate: 32%.】

Hmm? He also needs to collect enough gene samples beforehand?

Fang Heng looked around.

Coincidentally, as a massive number of burrowing sand locusts continuously sacrificed themselves around the desert, his Stealth skill's gene collection rate was also rapidly increasing.

【Prompt: Player's current skill: Stealth, gene collection rate: 39%...】.

After all this time, he realized that killing any level of burrowing sand locust would grant Stealth gene collection.

Simple!

He wasn't worried now.

He would continue to AFK for a while.

Fang Heng watched the game's loading bar slowly rise, waiting patiently.

On the edge of the desert, Zaka and the others watched as large swaths of burrowing sand locusts in the desert area formed sand tides, surging towards Fang Heng wave after wave, only to be easily dealt with by the blood blades controlled by Fang Heng.

Done.

Fang Heng rubbed his shoulders, took out two rune papers from his backpack, and flung them forward with force.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Two Lickers darted out from the two exploding rune papers.

The Lickers were swift, and after landing on the sand, they immediately condensed into two cocoons of flesh on the spot.

【Prompt: The player has consumed 500*2 main god points. Two Lickers are undergoing 'Stealth' additional modification...】.

The cocoons of flesh pulsated rhythmically.

Until five minutes later, the game prompt appeared again.

【Prompt: Modification complete. The player has additionally consumed 1500*2 main god points. Two Lickers have solidified the Stealth ability effect modification.】

Chirp, chirp...

Two Lickers tore through the cocoons of flesh and crawled out from the shattered cocoons, lying prone in front of Fang Heng.

Compared to before, the Lickers had undergone noticeable changes in appearance.

Originally, the skin on the Lickers' bodies was ulcerated, and some muscle fibers could even be seen, but now, the modified Lickers were covered in a layer of sand-like echinate skin.

Some mucus from the cocoons of flesh remained on the echinate skin.

In addition, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the Lickers' forelimbs had undergone abnormal changes, covered in a layer of spiral-shaped tooth scales.

Let's test the effect!

Fang Heng nodded towards the two Lickers, "Go!"

Chirp, chirp!

The two modified Lickers quickly burrowed into the sand and disappeared.

Interesting!

This digging efficiency is much faster than before!

Although he couldn't see them, Fang Heng could sense that after the Lickers burrowed into the sand, their movement speed didn't decrease much compared to the surface.

Perhaps because the terrain was sandy, it was more suitable for underground movement.

It probably wouldn't have such a good effect if it were ordinary rock and soil.

Then, let's test their combat power.

Fang Heng issued a hunting order to the Lickers.

The modified Lickers also perfectly retained all the other abilities they had before the modification, quickly finding the burrowing sand locusts under the sand and beginning to hunt!

The burrowing sand locusts themselves were better at launching surprise attacks from underground, but they had no advantage against the Lickers who also possessed Stealth abilities. Their attributes were greatly suppressed, and they were almost instantly torn apart by the Lickers.

The game prompt quickly appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

【Prompt: Player's zombie clone (Licker hybrid modification) has killed a burrowing sand locust.】

【Prompt: Player has gained 46 war contribution points...】.

Not a bad skill.

Fang Heng praised inwardly, and casually took out a thick stack of rune papers from his backpack and sprinkled them forward.

"Pa! Pa pa pa pa!!"

The rune papers exploded densely in the air.

Two hundred or so Lickers darted out from the broken rune papers, quickly forming cocoons of flesh in various stages of evolution after landing.

On the edge of the desert in the distance, Zaka and the others' expressions became strange when they saw Fang Heng's actions.

What is Fang Heng doing?

Because they were too far away, they couldn't see Fang Heng's specific actions. Suddenly, they noticed that circles of insect cocoons had appeared around Fang Heng, and an ominous premonition immediately arose in their hearts.

"Look, what are those things? When did they appear?"

"Not sure."

Zat shook his head, his eyes also flashing with deep suspicion.

Five minutes later, the modified Lickers broke out of their insect cocoons and quickly burrowed deep into the sand according to Fang Heng's instructions, actively searching for and pursuing the burrowing sand locusts in the surrounding area.

Done!

Fang Heng clapped his hands and returned the way he came.

He had been AFK for nearly 20 minutes, and a large portion of the burrowing sand locusts in the nearby desert area had been cleared. Next, he would let the Lickers AFK in the desert slowly.

……

On the edge of the desert, the Zaka brothers looked at Fang Heng returning the way he came with somewhat strange expressions, feeling like they were looking at an alien.

"Fang Heng, uh, I mean, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, no big deal."

"Uh…"

Zaka's expression stiffened.

Is it really no big deal?

Zaka glanced at Fang Heng behind him and carefully asked, "What were those cocoon-like things just now? Are they also alien insect creatures?"

"They're not alien insect bodies, they're my special summons."

Fang Heng quickly skipped over the topic and continued, "The number of burrowing sand locusts lurking under the desert is indeed very large, very troublesome, but their individual strength is still a bit lacking. I've already cleared a portion of them, and it should be safe next. It's almost time to set off."

"Ah? Set off?"

Zaka exclaimed.

The number of alien insect creatures is astonishing. Just now, they were watching them surge in wave after wave like a tide, and they didn't see any signs of stopping?

Is it already safe?

Are we setting off now?

Su Guantong and Zat also showed some doubts on their faces.

"Don't worry, I have arrangements. Let's start. Control the speed and move forward slowly. There won't be any problems. Just follow me."

Fang Heng said, already standing on the energy crystal skateboard again.

Su Guantong and Zat looked at each other.

Perhaps Fang Heng's performance just now had already conquered them, and they hesitated for a moment before stepping onto the energy crystal skateboard and following behind Fang Heng.

"Okay…"

Zaka hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Su Guantong and Zat had already followed, he also took a deep breath and controlled the energy crystal skateboard to follow.

Soon, as they gradually penetrated deeper into the desert area with Fang Heng, Zaka discovered that something was not quite right.
