When Su Xiao returned to the insect nest, the insect nest was still in the evolutionary stage. From the looks of it, it could not complete the evolution for a while.
The success or failure of evolution can only be determined by Jila himself, which is not a small risk. Once Jila fails to evolve, Su Xiao's arrangement will come to nothing.
It is simply unrealistic to obtain the Zerg army without taking risks. Su Xiao has long thought of the risks in this regard. He used the Blight Seed before to reduce the risks.
After waiting for three hours, the contracted insect nest stretched out, and the spines in the insect nest sent out a mental wave. She needed energy.
The mantises near the insect nest became busy, transporting the flesh and blood of the prey accumulated in three hours to the insect nest, and the insect nest devoured it significantly faster.
[Tip: Your temporary summon, the Zerg Mother, has been promoted to the second stage.]
[The insect nest has evolved to the second stage, and its abilities have been improved.]
[The energy storage organization has been upgraded to the second stage, and the energy storage limit has been increased to 10,000 points.]
[The egg-laying tissue has been upgraded to the second stage, which can produce 150 Zerg eggs at one time, and the egg-laying speed has been increased by 12%.]
[The breeding capsule has been upgraded to the second stage and can cultivate 100 small and medium-sized Zerg units at one time.]
[New genetic memory has been awakened: surveillance nest (Zerg building). 】
[A new genetic memory has been awakened: Hunting Teeth (combat insectoid). 】
[New genetic memory has been awakened: spore tank (transportation, protection of insect nests). 】
…
All the abilities of the insect nest have been improved, and there is also one more type of building and two types of insect units.
Hunting teeth are used for combat, and its combat effectiveness is still unknown. Egging + cultivation requires 60 points of bioenergy, which is 20 points more expensive than the stinger.
As for the spore tank, this thing is a logistics type and only requires 120 points of bioenergy each time.
Judging from the current situation, the ability of the second-stage insect nest is not strong, but it is not weak either. It is enough to deal with some small tribes, and at least it has the ability to protect itself.
Bubo Wang had previously entered a three-stage insect nest. There were more than a dozen types of soldiers in that insect nest. If evolving to the third stage could not unlock a large amount of genetic memory, there would be other ways to improve the insect army.
"come out."
Su Xiao stood in front of the insect nest, trying to summon the insect girl at home.
"..."
There was no sound from the insect nest. Now Jila's loyalty has reached 88 points. It will not refuse most of Su Xiao's orders, except for letting her leave the insect nest.
Su Xiao pulled Jira out of the insect nest and looked at the struggling Jira in his hands. Su Xiao felt that the opponent's body shape was obviously stronger. By human standards, the previous Jira had the size of a child, and now he is about the same height as a primary school student.
"Let me ask you a few questions."
As soon as Su Xiao let go, Jila trotted to the entrance of the insect nest, only sticking out his head, as if the outside world was very dangerous. In fact, this is the instinct of the mother. The mother insect will try its best to protect itself and grow the insect nest.
"what is the problem."
Jila poked his head around and looked around. This was a sign of staying at home and being wary of the outside world.
"Where does the insect nest store biological energy, or in other words, where is the energy storage organization of the insect nest."
"This is."
Jianla pressed his hand on the insect nest, and tapped the meridians on the insect nest with his carapace-wrapped fingers, which meant that biological energy was stored in it.
"In other words, the energy storage tissue is not a separate organ in the insect nest, but is completely integrated with the insect nest?"
"Um."
After receiving Jila's reply, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face.
"What will happen if you devour other insect nests?"
"It will be a pleasure."
Jilash nodded matter-of-factly.
"No other side effects?"
"No, even if it is other mothers, my insect nest can still swallow it, and it can also obtain genetic memory."
"Is this so?"
Su Xiao looked at Bubu Wang, who had already understood what Su Xiao meant.
"Damn it, it can eat other insect hives directly, and we can just catch such a beast and just rob it. How can we make a fortune without robbing?"
Baha's eyes showed a fierce look, and he almost vomited when he caught the beast.
"This involves cost issues. If it is a two-stage insect hive that has been developed for a long time, the number of Zerg troops will be at least one hundred. As for the three-stage insect hive, the number of Zerg troops may exceed 10,000."
Su Xiao was considering which stage of the insect nest to attack. He directly ignored the fourth stage. There were three stage four insect nests in this world. Each stage four insect nest had more than hundreds of thousands of Zerg troops and could not be defeated at all.
There are many third-stage insect nests, because it is not too difficult to evolve from the second stage to the third stage. As for evolving to the fourth stage, there should be very strict requirements, otherwise there will not be only three fourth-stage insect nests.
"Ji La, what is this?"
Su Xiao took out the amputated foot from the storage space. It was about 20 centimeters long and had thick arms. The fractures on both sides were uneven. Some places were very sharp. The color looked dark, but it showed red under the reflection of the sun.
Light.
As soon as Su Xiao took out the black armored feet, Jila ran out of the insect nest, grabbed the black armored feet with two small hands, and bit into it.
Click~
Jila's body froze, and she slowly let go, squatting on the ground and covering her mouth with her hands.
Su Xiao raised her foot and kicked Jila aside. Just now, Jila was in a mental state that was almost out of control.
"Baha, help her wake up."
"Okay."
Baha's wings spread out and he rushed forward to provide 'psychological counseling' to Jila.
A few minutes later, he lay on the ground in a daze.
"What's this?"
Su Xiao pulled the black-armored Adachi forward.
"This is……"
Jila was obviously confused. She pinched the corners of the nails with her fingers, as if she wanted to break off a small piece, but with her strength, she couldn't do it.
With a click, Su Xiao broke off a small piece from the foot of the nail and threw it to Jila. Unexpectedly, Jila poked his head in and swallowed it in one gulp.
"This is the genetic fragment left behind by the four-stage fighting Zerg."
Spinela no longer longed for the black armored feet and had completely lost interest.
"what's the effect?"
As Su Xiao spoke, he looked at the armor in his hand. This thing should have been processed by the Sun Tribe.
"If it were complete, it would allow my insect nest to breed this kind of fighting insect, but it is very incomplete."
"Do you still have this function?"
"Um."
Jila shrank back into the insect nest, and Su Xiao looked thoughtful.
"Amu, you stay here and keep watch. If anything happens, let me know at any time. Bubu, Baha, follow me."
Su Xiao walked into the forest. He was planning to attack other insect nests to seize bioenergy. The current development speed was too slow.
After traveling for about an hour, Su Xiao left the forest area and arrived at a grassland. The weeds here were at least half a meter high and grew densely.
This kind of terrain indicates that there are insect nests in the nearby area. Only when all the wild animals are killed will the grass grow wildly, and the insects are the biggest natural enemies of wild animals.
Su Xiao was walking in the grass, and a large number of insects jumped out or flew away around her. A grasshopper-like insect even jumped on BuBoWang's face.
Bubuwang shivered in fear. One time it teased a supernatural wasp, and the wasp rushed to its face and aimed a needle at its nose. It will never forget that painful memory.
Su Xiao's footsteps stopped, and a thirty-meter-high insect nest appeared in front. Judging from its scale, it was a second-level insect nest, and it was the kind that had been in operation for a long time.
"Bubu, go and determine the location of the mother's body."
As Su Xiao spoke, he took out Devour from the storage space. The second-stage insect nest would definitely not be able to withstand Devour's bullets.
