The giant trees are towering into the sky. Although the trees here are not densely packed, the trees are filled with various dense plants. These plants are of different colors and have abundant fruits hanging among the withered vines. Nearby, several marsupial monkeys are squatting on the forks of the trees.
Due to climate reasons, they have no hair on their bodies, and their skin is oily and shows a dark blue color.
This place is the southernmost side of the continent, and is as far away as possible from the north where the Empire's Third Fleet is stationed.
Su Xiao chose this place as the initial development site, not only to avoid being destroyed by the imperial forces in the embryonic stage, but also because the southern and western parts of the continent are the territory of the Zerg, and development here will not attract too much attention.
The land area of Pandora completely exceeds the ocean. This is a planet with less than 17% of the ocean area, but extremely rich freshwater resources. It is precisely because of this that it has created a large area of vegetation coverage and biological diversity.
Eminem was at the front holding a machete to clear the way, Su Xiao was behind, followed by Bubou Wang and Beni who was squatting on Bubou Wang's head, and even further behind was Baha who was rearing.
This time, Penny did not travel. The reason is that in the early stages of development, it can do a lot of things. When it develops to a certain level, Penny will start traveling.
Don't think that this is an easy trip for Beini. It is both a treasure hunt and a map. The recording device it wears will regularly transmit data to Su Xiao through the team channel.
In this way, even if Su Xiao does nothing, the map of the surrounding area will gradually be constructed in his terminal, and the scope will become larger and larger.
If you want to develop the Zerg now, it is very important to know who your neighbors are, and how many Zerg and indigenous tribes there are in the south and west. You also need to have a certain understanding of the north and east occupied by the empire.
Buzz~
A wasp the size of a sparrow flew near Su Xiao, and Bu Buwang's eyes became solemn. As he continued to move forward, an intoxicating floral fragrance with a slight alcohol smell wafted over.
"Baha."
Su Xiao spoke. After hearing this, Baha flew to high altitude for reconnaissance. After traveling at full speed all the way, although he had arrived in the south, he still needed to carefully consider where to choose the initial development location.
From several previous laboratories, Su Xiao not only obtained "Zerg mother embryos", but also learned a lot of information about the Zerg in this world.
The Zerg in this world also build a nest with the mother body as the core, and then use the organs on the nest to cultivate various Zerg units. Finally, they develop with the mother body as the center. The individual consciousness of the Zerg units is very low. More
It is surrendering to the overall consciousness, like an ant colony.
The Zerg units in this world still have some individual consciousness. On the other hand, the Zerg units of the Acanthus group, except for heroic individuals, do not have individual consciousness. The only signal they receive from the outside is to obey the orders of the highest consciousness.
Work or kill, and finally sleep forever on the fungus carpet, turn into biological energy again, and return to the mother nest.
This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is a pure weapon of war. The disadvantage is that once it is not under the control of the highest consciousness, it will fall into a state of chaos and indiscriminate attacks.
In other respects, there is not much information left in each experiment, but the levels of the Zerg mother body are very detailed. In this world, the Zerg mother body can be roughly divided into four levels, the infant stage, the queen level, the mother emperor level, and the master level.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the infancy stage. The standard for the queen level is that a bug nest higher than 40 meters has been established, and there are Zerg life veins under the nest. There are more than 5,000 engineer-type Zerg individuals, and more than 2,000 combat-type Zerg individuals.
The Queen Mother class is a large-scale insect nest and life ore, and has defensive and offensive insect structures. There are more than 100,000 engineer-type Zerg individuals and more than 40,000 combat-type Zerg individuals.
As for the Dominator level, at this stage, there is no Dominator level Zerg mother body in this world.
A simple metaphor is that a mother in the juvenile stage can maintain an insect nest of levels 1 to 3, a queen mother can build an insect nest of levels 3 to 7, and a queen mother can build an insect nest of level 8.
The position corresponds to the world level.
In the Zerg group in this world, there will definitely be more engineering units than combat units. The reason is that the Zerg in this world rely on mining life ore to develop. They absorb the life energy in the life ore through the insect nest, thus increasing the number of the group.
.
To use an intuitive metaphor, the Zerg in this world tend to be 'vegetarian', while on the contrary, the Achilles are purely carnivorous.
Are the Zerg in this world willing to become vegetarians? No, according to research from the Empire, this world seems to have a huge consciousness. If large-scale species destruction is carried out, or attempts are made to destroy the planet, that consciousness will be offended.
, all living things on this planet will be driven by that consciousness and eliminate the invaders.
This is also the reason why the empire has never used radioactive weapons. It’s not that it doesn’t want to, but it’s that it doesn’t dare. If it really offends that huge consciousness, then it’s okay to expel extraordinary creatures to besiege it. The empire is not afraid of this kind of siege. The imperial forces are worried
That consciousness can also direct microorganisms.
Microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, and fungi, all of which are not easy to deal with. Especially when these three have extraordinary properties, they become even more terrifying. Steel battleships that can sail in space sometimes really cannot withstand some extraordinary fungi.
decomposition.
After Su Xiao learned about this, he decided to find a way to let Jila also master the mining ability of the Zerg in this world. The method of catching extraordinary creatures on a large scale like on the Zerg Planet, thereby accumulating life energy for development, was obviously not feasible here.
After a while, Baha from the sky swooped down, landed on Eminem's shoulders, and said: "Boss, there is a U-shaped valley over there. I think that side is good."
"..."
Su Xiao jumped several times and reached the fork of a high tree. Looking in the direction Baha pointed, a stretch of gray and white mountains came into view. There was indeed a U-shaped valley over there, with the overall span of the valley being about a hundred meters.
meters wide, with natural dangers and dead ends in the rear, and entrances and exits in the front, it is considered a semi-enclosed terrain.
This is indeed a good place to build an insect nest. When the insect nest is large enough and no longer needs to be hidden, the mountain range can be flattened to free up a large enough place to build various insect structures.
As for whether the underground life ore that the local Zerg considered was sufficient, Su Xiao didn't care about this in the early days. He had start-up capital.
When he was on the Ser Star, Su Xiao used the Sun Fortress to mine a large amount of active ore. The properties of that thing were very close to the life ore in this world. Su Xiao even suspected that the life ore was one of the advanced outputs of the eighth-level native world.
It's not unique to Ser and Pandora.
Su Xiao did not bring out the active ore mined on the Ser Star, but he brought out 785 [active crystals], which are high-purity active ores.
With such start-up capital, initial development is not a problem. Once the development is almost complete, you can grab the vein of life and then migrate there.
Making up her mind, Su Xiao jumped among the trees. As the vegetation gradually became sparse, the broken rocks on the ground became the main color. After walking into the U-shaped valley, the wind calmed down and the feeling of heat subsided.
Stopping in the center of the valley, Su Xiao took out the refrigeration device, opened it, took out the "Zerg mother embryo" soaked in the glass column, and took out a piece of [active crystal].
Sensing the strong vitality in the [Active Crystal], the "Zerg Mother Embryo" became restless. Several tentacles spread out from the translucent liquid layer above and began to absorb the life energy in the [Active Crystal].
The embryo grows at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, it grows into a body that looks like a collection of beetles and scorpions. This is the Zerg mother body in this world. Its body is about half a meter long, and its six armored legs are short. Although the body part
It has a carapace, but the rear part exposes a fat abdominal pouch.
[Tip: You have successfully cultivated the Zerg mother body (infant stage), and you have successfully established an independent camp...]
As soon as the prompt appeared, the crystal layer wrapped around Su Xiao's hand. His hand penetrated the head of the Zerg mother's body, and the energy of the green steel shadow exploded, causing secondary internal damage.
[You need to name your Zerg...]
[Tip: Check that the Zerg mother you cultivated is dead.]
【The power you established has perished.】
[Announcement (Tree of the Void): The force "Unnamed" has been destroyed. 】
…
Su Xiao did not expect that there would be announcements after the demise of the Zerg forces established by contractors or hunters.
Of course, Su Xiao will not cultivate the Zerg in this world. The war ability is not strong enough. This time he exchanged [The Beginning of Nightmares] to enter this world. The difficulty of the main mission will be very high. If the main mission is just to get the world of this world
Su Xiao would secretly breathe a sigh of relief. He could be sure that in the middle and late stages of the main mission, conflicts would definitely break out with the company or imperial forces.
Moreover, given the domineering power of the empire, when Su Xiao's side grows to a certain level, the empire will take the initiative to attack them. They are here to colonize the interstellar world, so one can imagine how bellicose they are.
Su Xiao withdrew his hand from the Zerg mother's head. He removed the crystal layer on his hand, took out a piece of black carapace, and used it to cut open the palm of his hand.
The blood dripped down, and Su Xiao closed his eyes to construct. The blood dripping from his palms formed a tattoo-like bloody pattern on the mother's body. The next second, the flesh and blood on the Zerg mother's body grew wildly and turned into a pile of black and red flesh.
Su Xiao pressed it with one hand, and the spreading black and red flesh suddenly stopped.
Boom~
A muffled sound spread, traces of black energy floated upward, and a dark red door of flesh and blood appeared on the black and red flesh that Su Xiao was pressing.
Unknowingly, dark clouds filled the sky, and the tips of the sword grass blades in the valley seemed to be pointing at Su Xiao, and it felt as if they were about to pierce into his pupils.
'Leave, get out...'
There seemed to be an invisible sound appearing in the surroundings, a world rejection reaction, a click, and a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.
Inside the dark red door of flesh and blood, a spatial crack opened in the center, and a large amount of biological tissue poured out from the crack. This was a guarantee for ultra-long-distance transmission, and the main body of the transmission was protected within these biological tissues.
Kakaka~
The spatial rift at the center of the Flesh and Flesh Gate quickly closed. This was an intensification of the world's rejection reaction, and the world was trying to repel away what was coming.
"roar!"
Countless roars came from the cracks, and black claws wrapped in carapace poked out, grabbing both sides of the space crack. They were the sharp claws of many demonic beasts.
With a pop, a small hand poked out from the black-red biological tissue, and the summoning was successful.
A petite figure crawled out from the biological tissue. There were several light purple carapace on both sides of her neck, which were very smooth and close to the skin. In addition, at first glance, the creature summoned by Su Xiao was indistinguishable from humans.
The difference is that it is acanthus.
Jila raised her head and leaned back. The lower half of her body was still inside the biological tissue. She was exhausted after being summoned from a super long distance.
"Boss, Jila seems to have become weaker?"
"Um."
Su Xiao was not surprised by this. Jila had grown to the top level of the seventh level before, and the current aura fluctuation was at the beginning of the seventh level at most.
This is normal. The system of each world is different. Jila is different from Bubu, Ammu, and Baha. She does not have strong adaptability. When she enters a different world, she will be affected by the world's system.
Although Ji La is now a little weaker, this is the world of the eighth-level top echelon, which also means that the upper limit of Ji La's growth is much higher. The increase in the upper limit is more important now.
Su Xiao looked at Jila and patted her face. Not only did Jila not wake up, but she also retracted into the biological tissue under her body and continued to sleep in. This was a habit of being lazy in the primitive continent.
After two small mouths, Jila's eyebrows moved. Youyou woke up. She just woke up. After looking around in confusion, she gradually remembered what was going on.
Su Xiao lifted Jira out of the biological tissue. Jira looked calm. She had been carried by Su Xiao a lot in the past and had long been used to it. She even breathed in and said she was still a little sleepy, but Su Xiao looked at her.
Finally, she shivered and became energetic. She had been hung up and whipped for disobedience before, and it really hurt. It was useless for her to cry.
Su Xiao placed Ji La in front of him, looked up and down, and checked the opponent's attributes.

…
Even though it was weakened once due to entering this world, Jila's overall data still completely destroyed the Zerg mother body at the same stage in this world.
When competing for "Zerg mother embryos" at various experimental sites in the north, Su Xiao knew that what this world is fighting for is development. At present, compared with other contractors who develop Zerg, Su Xiao's development is definitely ranked first.
In first place.
It's like everyone starts at the starting line. Su Xiao's starting line is special, located at the halfway point.
Su Xiao took out an object, which was the [Abyss Stone], which he obtained from the transaction with the Lord of the Old Ones.
【Abyss Stone】
Origin: Abyss/Void.
Quality: white ~???(different effects will be exerted according to different users)
Type: Rare resources
Effect: Greatly improve the evolutionary ability of organisms and the upper limit of their potential (a huge bonus for Zerg, hermit crabs, disaster ants and other groups).
Rating:10～???
Introduction: The crystallized power of the abyss has lost the normal characteristics of the power of the abyss. Its greatest use is to destroy it. Could someone really use it to enhance the Zerg, hermit crabs, disaster ants, etc.?
…
After the opponent's Jila took over the abyss stone, he cast a doubtful look.
"Eat it."
"Eat it directly?"
"right."
Hearing what Su Xiao said, Jila bit into the [Abyss Stone], but was stunned for a moment. She looked at Su Xiao a little aggrievedly, wondering why Su Xiao let her eat this stone.
Facing Ji La's pretending to be pitiful, Su Xiao remained unmoved and said, "Swallow it."
"?"
There was great confusion in Jila's eyes. She looked at the abyss stone in her hand, which was bigger than her small fist. She opened her mouth and made gestures. After she failed to stuff it into her mouth, her expression gradually became frightened.
After a while, with tears in her eyes, Jira slowly moved her jaw and swallowed the abyss stone. Apart from being choked, she felt nothing for the time being.
After Jilla slowed down, she took out a black egg she had brought with her. Her little hand stretched out straight and her nails became sharp. She grabbed a piece of black-red biological tissue on the side and started digging a hole in the ground.
Afterwards, the black eggs and biological tissues were thrown into the pit, buried in the soil and stepped on a few times.
This is Jila's original "Zerg Race", and Su Xiao, Bu Buwang, and Baha are all familiar with it.
Half a minute later, a black and gold claw poked out from the soil. After a while, a low-level Zerg mantis emerged from the soil and shook the soil on its head.
This mantis is very different. Its carapace is full of scars and bite marks. It is obviously not a newly born Zerg. More importantly, it has a name, and its name is Blue.
Although Blue is the lowest level of the Zerg race, it is the same as the leader-level demon beast Abaddon and the demon flame dragon Barbatos. It is one of the very few beings in the genus Acanthus that has individual consciousness.
After Blue shook off the dirt on his body, he ran around Su Xiao and circled around. He hadn't seen Su Xiao for so long, and Blue, who had an independent consciousness, expressed two emotions: happiness and missing.
Jila pointed at Bru and conveyed the spiritual command sleepily: 'Build an insect nest.'
Blue immediately went into work, unfolded the end of its armored tail, and then clamped the [Active Crystal] that had not yet exhausted its energy. By absorbing the life energy inside, it cultivated the basic organization of the insect hive. After a few seconds, a
A dark green biological tissue began to spread and expand.
Seeing this, Jila came behind Su Xiao and got under the hem of the long leather coat. She was used to squatting at home, and she was not used to seeing the sun at this time.
In the valley, in less than 1 minute, a first-order insect nest was established in the mountain. The egg formation tissue in the insect nest began to work. After cultivating 100 mantis eggs, these mantis eggs rolled into the breeding capsule.
.
The division method of the insect nest is different from that of the Zerg mother body. The insect nest is divided according to the level of the world. In this world, the insect nest is divided into levels 1 to 8. Based on the current comprehensive situation of Jila, up to seven levels of insect nests can be established.
If she can transform from the "Queen Level" to the "Mother Queen Level", it means that the insect nest has also broken through to the eighth level and reached the "dominator level". Although the insect nest is still the eighth level, it is the top form of the eighth level.
To develop the Zerg, the empire will definitely show its iron fist. Moreover, Su Xiao is still a wanted criminal in the empire.
If you want to be qualified to compete with the Empire, you must make the Jira reach the "Master Level" to ensure the explosive ability of the insect nest, as well as the strength of the Zerg buildings and Zerg combat units, etc.
This time, not only the Zerg combat units must be strong, but the Zerg buildings must also be strong enough. Otherwise, the situation will be bad when the enemy warships and fighter planes attack. This time, we are not dealing with the tiger-bee clan, but with the technology-side Austrians.
Wa people must have been guarding their homes in the early days.
The first-order insect nest was successfully established. Compared with the original continent, the current first-order insect nest is much shorter, only a few meters high overall. One by one, the mantises crawled out of the breeding capsules and participated in the establishment of the insect nest.
As soon as the insect nest was established, Jila entered it. From now on, unless Su Xiao spoke, Jila would never come out.
When Su Xiao came to the entrance of the insect nest, the fresh and slightly fragrant smell of earth came from her memory. It's no wonder that Jila loves to stay inside. Not only is the air good inside, but it's also safe.
Su Xiao stored all the existing 784 [Active Crystals] in the insect nest. The current insect nest is still very small, but after obtaining sufficient bioenergy, the insect nest began to evolve to the second stage.
With the foundation in place, the evolution of the insect nest is only a matter of time. After 3 hours and 26 minutes, the evolution of the insect nest stops. At this time, the external texture of the insect nest appears rough. These are biological armors.
The height of the entire insect nest is over 80 meters, and the area is so large that the valley cannot accommodate it. During the process of upgrading the insect nest, a total of 16,000 mantises have been cultivated by consuming bioenergy.
These mantises have expanded the area of the valley to nearly one kilometer in diameter, and the ground in the entire valley is covered with this layer of fungi. This seemingly ordinary external organ of the insect nest has amazing war endurance.
The last time we fought against the tiger and bee tribe in the primitive continent, we relied entirely on creep to survive.
With the evolution of the seventh-level insect nest completed, a total of 16,000 mantises were crawling on the carpet around the insect nest. 15,000 of them were decomposed, leaving only 1,000 mantises.
All Zerg units have bioenergy reserves within their bodies, it’s just a question of how much. They do not eat or drink, but they do this by consuming bioenergy.
Su Xiao looked up at the towering insect nest. All the [Active Crystals] in the insect nest had been converted into bioenergy. Due to the different world systems, excluding the consumption of building the insect nest, there were still 42150 points of bioenergy converted from [Active Crystals].
.
Each world has a different system. In addition, Su Xiao also discovered that some Zerg units cannot be cultivated in this world, such as Stingers, Titans and other Zerg combat units. The good news is that Demon Beasts, Demons, etc.
Flame dragons can still be cultivated.
[Tip: You have successfully built an insect nest, and the construction progress has greatly exceeded that of other insect nests belonging to contractors in this world.]
[Insect Nest: Seven Stages (eight levels in total, this level will be determined according to the power system of this world). 】
[Demon Zerg Gene Bank: Demon Beast (genetically evolved five times), Leviathan (gene evolved twice - Super Giant Zerg), Demonic Flame Dragon (no genetic evolution). 】
[Evolution conditions: 85,000 points of bioenergy (due to the Queen of the Zerg, Spinela, swallowing the abyss stone, the prerequisite for evolution has been greatly reduced). 】
…
Don't bother with the various Zerg buildings, energy storage organizations, egg-laying organizations, breeding capsules, evolution rooms, etc. These are all built into the insect nest. As for the sensing towers, killing sentry towers, etc., we can't afford them yet.
Although this is somewhat dangerous, if these Zerg buildings are built immediately, there will be no creatures left to breed Zerg combat units.
If it were in the previous primitive continent, 42150 points of bioenergy would be very little. However, in this world, the measurement standards and quality of bioenergy have changed. The bioenergy stock does not seem to be much, but the cultivation cost of Zerg units has the same value.
It has dropped dozens of times.
Cultivating an elite worker scorpion requires 0.1 points of bioenergy.
To cultivate a demonic beast, 10 points of biological energy are required.
Cultivating a Leviathan requires 200 points of bioenergy.
Cultivating a Demon Flame Dragon requires 4,000 points of bioenergy.
Although I want to cultivate the demon flame dragon Barbatos now, I don't have enough money.
A lot of the start-up funds this time were used to build an insect nest. However, compared to other contractors who started to develop from a first-level insect nest, Su Xiao started with a seventh-level insect nest, plus a complete Zerg combat unit. It was a devilish start.
.
[Tip: Main quest·First ring·Grug (completed).】
[Completion: 695%.]
[Because the task completion level has seriously exceeded the maximum limit, your task reward has been changed.]
[You obtain Zerg gene fragments and outer carapace enhancement.]

[Rewards have been superimposed. You will receive the following rewards:
Difficulty level mission introduction: Evolve the insect nest to the eighth stage.
Task period: 8 calendar days.
Mission reward: Soul Crystal Core ×4.

…
As the saying goes, lead with one step and lead with every step. This is Su Xiao's current situation.
The three carapace enhancements of the Zerg units rewarded in the main mission are not visible yet. When the Demon Beast and Leviathan are cultivated, the defensive advantages will be highlighted. Unfortunately, the Demon Flame Dragon does not have a carapace.
The main quest jumps directly from the first level to the fifth level, and the "Sharp Minions" and "Bio-Plasma" rewards, the former is an immediate enhancement, and the latter is a later-stage magical skill.
Su Xiao saw the entrance to the insect nest and said: "Ji La."
"ah?"
"come out."
[Get red envelopes by reading books] Follow the public account [Book Friends Base Camp] and get up to 888 cash red envelopes by reading books!
"Oh~"
Jila came out reluctantly. She had not spent enough time in her new home.
"Do you have the ability to mine?"
"have."
"Demonstrate how to cultivate a worker scorpion."
"Workers can't mine, but I can."
As Jila said this, she squatted down and dug out rocks with her hands. This was the mining ability she had robbed.
"..."
Su Xiao wanted to make the Zerg units under Jila's command have the ability to mine, rather than Jila herself being able to mine. With her strength-sensitive attribute that couldn't beat Beni and Bubowang, she couldn't dig out anything for a year.
Let Jila continue to squat at home, Su Xiao began to think about the follow-up countermeasures. Mining at home was no longer possible. In the entire Insect Nest + Su Xiao team, the fastest digger was Bubuwang. His comprehensive mining ability was so bad that it was eye-catching.
extent.
Since he couldn't mine, he had no choice but to eat meat again. Su Xiao took out the terminal and turned on the map function. The map drawn by Beini showed that a neighbor appeared in Su Xiao's sight.
This is a five-stage insect nest. The owner of this insect nest is a "queen-level" Zerg mother body. In this tribe, there are more than 3,000 engineer-type Zerg individuals and more than 700 combat-type Zerg individuals.
Su Xiao's idea is to use the existing 42150 points of biological energy to cultivate 4215 demonic beasts, and then take these 4215 demonic beasts to visit the neighbors.
