Next to the insect nest in the base camp, 15,000 demonic beasts are on standby. This is already a very strong force. Normally, the three-stage insect nest can resist for a few minutes at most, provided that the insect queens do not explode their troops.
The Echinacea nest has developed to this extent and has reached a bottleneck. If it wants to continue to develop, it can only go deep into the base camp forest.
Su Xiao has only explored about one-third of this forest, and has barely explored the inner direction. There is a large river at least 100 meters wide, which cuts the entire forest into two parts.
The swamp to the south has been explored. If you cross the swamp, you will find a poisonous fog area. Even with the tolerance of the demon beast, it will be eroded by the poisonous fog in a few minutes.
It's not that it's impossible to explore there, but it's unnecessary. According to Bubo Wang's observation, there is a huge red frog deep in the poisonous fog. With that poisonous frog there, there cannot be other insect nests in the nearby area.
To the north is the prairie where the sacrificial cows are located. I will not consider that side for now. To the east is the territory of the Sun Tribe. With the current size of the Echinacea nest, it is obviously unable to defeat the Sun Tribe.
In other words, if you want to continue developing, you can only go deep into the base camp forest and then cross the river.
Just as Su Xiao was planning the route, the demonic beast guarding two kilometers away sent out a warning signal. Centered on the insect nest, an area of ten kilometers in diameter was the territory of the Echinacea.
The signal transmitted by the demon beast is very strange. The signal is that there is an incoming Zerg, but there is only one.
Surrounded by a large group of demonic beasts, the alien Zerg came near the mother nest. It was a fighting Zerg. It looked like a huge butterfly, but its whole body was covered with carapace and its wings had a metallic texture. After spreading its wings,
, the body width of this fighting Zerg is at least seven meters.
Such a huge creature is very conspicuous among the demonic beasts. Its light red compound eyes look around, seeming to be looking for something.
"Hiss~"
The giant butterfly insect clan neighed, and Jila, who was squatting at home, took the initiative to walk out of the insect nest and came to Su Xiao's side.
"This is the fourth stage of the Zerg, Egui. It represents a Zerg mother queen."
Jira stretched his hand forward, and the Egui butterfly immediately turned its gaze to Jira.
"Hiss~"
A pustule bulged on the back of the butterfly. The pustule burst with a pop, and green bodily fluids splashed everywhere. A shirtless woman appeared on the back of the butterfly. There were pieces of carapace on both sides of her cheeks. Instead of hair, there were
Replaced by a sharp armor that looks like a blade.
"Submit to me, my subordinate."
The woman on Eguidie's back spoke. This was a fourth-stage Zerg mother queen. Of course, what appeared now was not her mother body.
Su Xiao looked at Jila, who nodded. She did not want to surrender to this fourth-stage mother queen, but she was indeed the opponent's inferior individual.
In other words, it was this fourth-stage mother queen that bred Jira's former Zerg queen, and that Zerg queen bred Jira.
Although there is a direct genetic relationship, there is no natural control between the Zerg mothers. Unless it is a fifth-level mother, not to mention the Zerg mother queen who is one generation away, even if the Zerg queen who cultivated the Jira comes, it cannot affect it.
Pull the spines even slightly.
"I reject."
Jira's mental fluctuations spread, and the demonic beasts around Eguidie swarmed forward, preparing to tear this fourth-stage fighting Zerg into pieces.
"It's such a pity that you chose to refuse."
The Zerg Mother Queen does not look angry, because among the Zerg, the powerful mother body is very willing to accept the mother body of other insect hives, provided that the other party is willing to contribute resources, that is, life stones.
"Your way is wrong. Mag will attack you soon."
It seemed that the Zerg Mother Queen had not negotiated with other intelligent creatures for a long time, and her tone was very stiff. However, after a short negotiation, she became much more natural.
"Margo?"
Jila looked at the Zerg Queen in confusion. She was negotiating according to Su Xiao's instructions, otherwise the family would not be able to speak so fluently.
"there."
The Zerg Mother Queen points to the north. It is obvious who Mag is. There is a fourth-stage insect nest near the grassland. Mag must be the Queen Mother of that insect nest. Bubo Wang also stole 11 Life Stones there.
"Mag is an alien. She evolves in the same way as you. She hunts other insect nests to strengthen herself. The insect nests you hunt are her prey."
The Zerg Queen's eyes turned to Su Xiao, somewhat confused.
"In that case, why doesn't she stop us from hunting."
Jila spoke according to Su Xiao's instructions. Su Xiao could not yet imagine the purpose of this Zerg mother queen coming here.
"She is waiting, waiting for other nests to grow. She will hunt only once every 300 stars and months (days). After hunting, she will continue to wait. This has been repeated for 25 rounds. When she finds you, she will not be too friendly."
The hand of the Zerg mother queen pressed on the back of the butterfly, and the lower half of her body detached from the body of the butterfly, and the red carapace grew rapidly on her body.
"I am Tatu... Hong'e, the oldest Zerg on this continent."
When the Zerg Queen said her name, Su Xiao couldn't understand the first half, but she could only hear the last two words, "Hong'e".
It can be heard from the few words Hong E said that she came here with neither malice nor much goodwill. She first asked Jila if she was willing to hang out with her. After Jila refused, she used the nearby fourth-stage Zerg Queen Mag.
Scare.
"Hong'e, your tribe is far away from here."
Su Xiao said, although negotiating through Jila is a good way, the Zerg queen at home is too weak.
"Humans..." Hong'e looked at Ji La and then at Su Xiao: "It's really amazing."
Hong'e did not directly answer Su Xiao's question, but it was regarded as acquiescence.
"If I guessed correctly, your tribe is over there."
Su Xiao pointed to the northwest. According to his inference, Honge's insect nest should be there.
If the Sun Tribe, the Magh Hive, and the Red Hive are arranged in a line, then the Magh Hive will be in the middle, blocking the Sun Tribe and the Red Hive.
The Magar Nest and the Red E insect nest should be in a hostile relationship under normal circumstances. Although they are far apart, once the Sun Tribe attacks the Mag E insect nest, the Red E insects will definitely reinforce them. The Zerg Mother Queens still understand this truth.
.
As for the other fourth-stage insect nest, it should be very far away from the two, on the other side of the continent.
If the base camp forest is used as the radiation range, there are a total of major forces in the surrounding area: Mager Hive, Red Era Hive, Sun Tribe (fire), Hasaro Tribe (predation), and Frog Tribe (poison).
As for the remaining two totem tribes and a fourth-stage mother nest, they are all on the other side of the continent. Just traveling alone will take more than ten days, and this is when the Zerg army is not sleeping.
Su Xiao basically understood the distribution of surrounding forces. In other words, there were only two major Zerg races and three major tribes that could threaten him. As for the other three major forces, they were too far away and the possibility of fighting was very low.
"I come with good intentions and hope to reach an exchange with you."
Hong'e finally revealed her purpose. As for what she was interested in, she knew without even thinking about it. Apart from the 'remaining individuals' of the demonic beasts, there was nothing in the Spiny Hive that the Insect Mother Queen could be interested in.
As for whether to exchange, of course, because Hong'e simply cannot cultivate a complete Demonmon with the 'legacy individual' of Demonmon.
If you want to cultivate a demon beast, you first need its "legacy individual", and secondly, the ultra-high-purity demon power. If the Zerg mother body is not integrated with the demon power, even if the demon beast is cultivated, it will still be a defective product, and its combat effectiveness will be inferior to that of the third-stage Zerg.
The internal ranking is at the mid-range level. Su Xiao has already tested this through the fog-light insect nest.
