There were also some monsters that were hit by the blue rays. They should have been frozen into ice within a second and shattered into countless ice shards in the next second.
Now, only a thin layer of ice had formed on the surface of his body.
The chill of absolute zero had only penetrated three to four inches into his body.
It has to be known that many monsters had thick shells, thick fur, and incredibly powerful regenerative abilities in their cells.
Even if the carapace, hair, and the outermost layer of flesh were frozen, as long as the core organs were not damaged, there was a chance for them to recover in just a few minutes.
Although their combat power was greatly reduced.
But it did not stop them from slamming into the crystal shield one after another, causing blood and flesh to splatter everywhere on the shield.
The killing effects of the other rays were slowly weakening.
Even the teleportation ray was the same.
In the beginning, the Transparent Ray only needed to shine for half a second to teleport a monster to another place.
But now, the monsters that were hit by the teleportation rays would enter a strange, stiff state. It was as if they had sunk into an invisible swamp. They would slowly and clumsily struggle for five seconds or even longer before they were teleported out.
Some of the powerful monsters surrounded by fierce flames actually managed to break free after struggling with all their might. At the very least, they managed to break free from the invisible swamp. Only part of their limbs and tails were sent elsewhere.
Their wounds were as smooth as a mirror and scabbed over quickly, allowing them to continue roaring and charging.
"The monster is evolving."
'Some of the monsters' shells are becoming sturdier, and they can withstand thousands of degrees Celsius and absolute zero.
"Some of the monsters are becoming faster, and their tracks are becoming erratic. They leave behind afterimages in the air, so the ancient's death rays can't lock onto them.
"There are also some monsters who push the Insect Wave Strategy to the max. They give up on their clumsy armor and sharp mandibles. All their fighting parameters are reduced, but in exchange, they have a shorter gestation time and a lower cost. The time and resources needed to gestation a monster like this is only one-tenth or even one-hundredth of what other monsters need.
"However, they still looked hideous and ferocious. They could even spurt out vivid flames of brutality, which made the anxious' ancient people 'dare not ignore them or distinguish them from the real ferocious beasts. They could only treat them as equals and launch destructive strikes at them at the cost of tremendous spiritual energy.
"They're the best cannon fodder. They can quickly whittle down the ancient people's war resources and provide cover for the powerful monsters on our side!"
Meng Chao noticed that because of this, the frequency at which the Crystal Porcupines around the ancient city fired death rays had decreased, and their spinning speed had also slowed down.
Even inside the seemingly indestructible crystal shield, the light emitted by the profound and complicated spirit patterns gradually dimmed.
What replaced it were cracks that gradually appeared as the beast horde attacked again and again.
In this battle between quantity and quality, the former's advantage was slowly expanding.
The war resources of the Ancients were about to run dry.
When they realized this, the monster horde became even more active, excited, and frenzied.
The Ancients also seemed to have realized that being trapped in a lone city would only lead to death.
After all, no matter how thick the spirit energy in the city was, it could not compare to the world within a circular area of one thousand kilometers.
Hence, quite a number of Crystal Porcupines slowly flew out of the city and formed a mighty crystal fleet in an attempt to fight against the mother for the right to mine the crystal mines within a circular area of one thousand kilometers.
However, once they left the protection of the city, the weakness of the Ancients in numbers was immediately exposed.
The monster horde that filled the sky was like a huge mouth that tore apart the crystal fleet and surrounded the Crystal Porcupines. Then, they attacked the military buildings that the Ancients had left behind from all directions.
During the most dangerous moment, each of the Crystal Porcupines' spikes shone with a dazzling light and pierced through thousands of monsters at the same time.
More monsters charged forward one after another and hung their corpses on the Crystal Porcupines' spikes like blood-sucking leeches.
Soon, the Crystal Porcupines were surrounded by monster carcasses.
Even though the monsters had died a long time ago.
Under the stimulation of the mother's will, the monster cores hidden in the monsters' bodies resonated madly at the same frequency and exploded at the same time.
Countless fireballs rose into the air.
The Crystal Porcupines turned into black rocks and crashed to the ground like collapsing mountains. They stirred up smoke that was more than one thousand meters tall.
Most of the ancient fleets that broke out of the encirclement were destroyed by the monster horde a few hours after they left the city.
There were also a few armies that managed to break out of the encirclement of the monster horde and seize one or two crystal mines.
However, when the 'Crystal Hedgehogs' that made up the fleet landed above the mother lodes and slowly unfolded into complicated geometrical objects, ready to collect and purify the crystals, the 'ancient people' inside discovered to their despair that the mother lodes of crystals had long been swallowed by the beast tide!
More accurately speaking, the mother's tentacles and the monsters who were skilled in digging had marched underground and sucked away all the rich spirit energy hidden underground.
But they left behind a thin layer of crystal shell that was exposed on the surface. It shone with a dazzling light and lured the Ancients to break out of the encirclement at all costs and occupy the place.
This was a trap set by the mother for the Ancients!
Soon, all the crystal fleets that broke out of the encirclement were destroyed by the monster horde.
The Ancients in the ancient city could only choose to continue retreating and shrinking their defense lines. They stacked up the increasingly dimmer crystal shields and used their thickness to make up for the lack of spirit energy.
When the radius of the defense was reduced by half, the firepower within the area of defense increased by more than one fold.
The charging monster horde looked as if it had been struck by a whip. It suddenly stopped, but it only stopped for a moment.
Perhaps the "ancients" in this city were still hoping for a miracle to happen.
They wanted to stall for time and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
After all, if the Ancients could create an orbital network that surrounded the entire planet, it was clear that they had more than one city on the planet.
But a shocking roar came from the core of the city, and it sounded the final death knell.
It was … a sandworm so large that Meng Chao could not describe it.
Normal sandworms were only dozens of centimeters in diameter and several meters long. They were like pythons with layers of nested bodies.
After absorbing a lot of spirit energy, the monster-level sandworms could have a diameter of more than one meter and a length of dozens of meters.
Before this, the largest sandworm Meng Chao had ever seen was the Supernatural Entity, Earthquake.
It was a huge creature with a diameter of several meters and a length of nearly one hundred meters.
When it opened its mouth, it could bite a subway car in half.
But compared to the huge creature in front of him, Earthquake was as thin as the leg hair of an eighteen -year-old girl.
They were too far away, so Meng Chao could not estimate its specific diameter and length.
He only knew that it had shot out of the ground and reached a height of at least hundreds of meters.
It opened its mouth and bit down on the largest, fastest spinning, and most dazzling Crystal Hedgehog in the air, forcing it to stop spinning.
It has to be known that each Crystal Hedgehog was a military building, and it was filled with Ancients.
Based on the size of the Ancients and the military buildings, the length, width, and height of the buildings were at least one hundred meters!
This ancient sandworm could bite down on a military building that was more than one hundred meters long and wide. Its diameter was also close to or even more than one hundred meters!
'An ancient sandworm with a diameter of … one hundred meters!'
At that moment, Meng Chao's mind was filled with shock and fear.
He also instantly understood the mother's strategy.
All the monster hordes were feints.
The continuous evolution and mutation as well as the traps set in the crystal mines around them were all to divert the Ancients' attention.
The ancient sandworm that the mother had carefully modified and poured a lot of war resources into was its trump card!
Just as he expected, the ancient sandworm was not just for show.
It bit down on the largest and most dazzling military building in the ancient city.
It looked like a venomous snake's fangs but also like a mosquito's straw. It pierced deep into the crystalline building and mercilessly absorbed the spirit energy contained in the crystals.
As its body continued to shrink and wriggle, the military buildings of the "ancient people" turned from shining crystals to dim and brittle stones at a visible speed.
Soon, with a crack, the military building that had turned into stone was bitten to pieces by the Primordial Sandworm.
Countless "ancients" flew out from the rubble.
The Ancients had maglev abilities that were almost inborn.
They were not worried about falling to their deaths.
But the ancient sandworm burped in satisfaction.
However, the storm that gushed out of the bloody mouth blew the "ancients" into pieces.
The military buildings in the area hurriedly spun faster and fired the colorful and messy death rays at the Ancient Sandworm.
First, it was burned by flames, then it was frozen by ice, and then it was cut into pieces. The torn flesh turned into balls of pus and blood under the illumination of the purple light.
In the end, even the pus and blood were sent out of the city and turned into a bloody rain that filled the air.
The ancient sandworm's entire head and mouthpiece exploded.
But it was just too big. Even without a head, its body was still hundreds of meters tall, and it stood at the center of the ancient city.
Slurp, slurp, slurp. As strange sounds that made people's skin crawl rose, more than one hundred tentacles danced about in a bewitching manner. They looked like Blood Flower mycelium that had been magnified one hundred times.
The red tentacles intertwined with each other, and the cells continued dividing and multiplying. Adhesive liquid was secreted and hardened.
Very soon, a head that looked exactly the same as before grew out.
It opened its mouth that was filled with venomous fangs and suckers again and grinned at the Ancients in the crystal building.

The fourth chapter was uploaded. Roar roar roar roar!
Actually, he had made a mistake. He had written two chapters yesterday, but Sister Niu was not at home, so Old Niu had to deal with Little Niu on his own. When the second chapter was uploaded, he was already exhausted and dizzy. He only clicked "Upload" and did not click "Confirm" before turning off the computer.
When he woke up this morning, he realized that he had only uploaded one chapter yesterday, and the other chapter had been stored in the manuscript folder.
So, he had to upload the fourth chapter today to make it up to his dear brothers and sisters!
This chapter was not meant to be a thank-you to the rich. Well, let's take it slow. One day …
