Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.
Chapter 963: Expansion of Territory
After confirming that the title of War Lord was activated, Su Xiao strode into the insect nest.
Jila was lazily lying on the wriggling biological tissue, concentrating on digesting the remaining fifth-level Zerg individuals brought back by Lin Yi.
The genetic sequence of the fifth-order Zerg is extremely complex. Even if it has evolved to the third-order, it can only be carefully sorted out and analyzed bit by bit. The whole process will obviously take a considerable amount of time.
In order to kill this boring time, Jila is watching various silly short plays on a tablet computer with great relish.
This device was originally given to her by Bubuwang, with the original intention of hoping that she could improve her ability to deploy troops by learning from videos.
Unexpectedly, Jira learned it all by herself and cracked the operating restrictions in no time. From then on, she became addicted to watching the drama and became a real Zerg otaku. Whenever she had free time, she would hold her tablet and keep scrolling.
"stand up."
Su Xiao's cold voice suddenly sounded in the insect nest. Jila, who was watching with fascination, was obviously startled. His tentacles trembled slightly and turned towards the direction of the sound.
Seeing the two people, Jila immediately climbed up from the biological tissue.
Su Xiao took out a huge machine with a strange shape from the storage space. The metal shell was covered with rough marks of manual welding, and the surface was densely engraved with various complex alchemical array diagrams. Thick wires were exposed, and tiny arcs burst out from time to time. It was obviously a special device that was hastily made.
"Lie in."
Su Xiao pressed the button on the machine and a stream of steam gushed out. Although Jila was confused, he did not refuse.
When Jila lay completely inside the machine, Su Xiao skillfully attached more than a dozen special electrodes to various key points of her body.
After nearly an hour of precise debugging, he temporarily engraved a few amplification array diagrams on the machine casing.
After confirming that everything was ready, Su Xiao pressed the switch.
hum~
All the array diagrams on the machine lit up, and Jila in the cabin suddenly curled up violently, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and finally became empty and lifeless.
Su Xiao took out a dozen rings from the storage space, handcuffed them on his arms and torso one by one, closed his eyes and sensed. He could already sense Jila's existence and the other party's flame of consciousness through external equipment.
At this moment, Su Xiao achieved complete control over Jira through the alchemical device, using her as a medium to command the entire Zerg army.
It is obviously unrealistic to bring Jira directly into the battlefield - the Zerg Queen will become a living target for the enemy's main attack.
For this purpose, Su Xiao specially developed this consciousness conduction device, the principle of which is to transform Jila into a biological signal transfer station, so that he can directly issue combat orders to all Zerg units.
In this way, every Zerg on the battlefield will become an extension of Su Xiao's will, and the actions of the entire Zerg army can be controlled at will.
After Su Xiao left the insect nest, he immediately looked at the abyss demon beast in front of him.
Under Su Xiao's conscious control, this huge demon beast showed amazing flexibility and completed a standard 360-degree aerial turn and a difficult jump.
After giving the order to Jila to continue producing Abyss Demon Beasts, Su Xiao left Am behind to protect Jila, and then prepared to go out to test the actual combat effectiveness of these Abyss Demon Beasts.
After marching for 1 hour and 36 minutes, the Zerg army rushed out of the forest and soon arrived near a second-stage Zerg nest.
This Zerg nest is thirty meters high. Judging from the nearly three hundred Zergs around it, it is considered a good development among the second-stage Zerg.
Lin Yi was currently sitting on the back of an abyss demon beast. Although he did not have a sophisticated consciousness transmission device like Su Xiao, with the power of the abyss in his body, he was naturally intimidating to this type of abyss creatures.
As long as his orders do not conflict with the will of the Worm Queen, these demon beasts will also carry out his instructions without hesitation.
After confirming the location of the insect nest, Su Xiao prepared to start with this insect nest.
As the attack order was given, the Abyss Demon Beast immediately launched a charge towards the insect nest.
They charge at an extremely fast speed, and in just a few seconds, they can reach a dozen meters before the enemy's hive.
"S~"
The hive guards responded hastily, and dozens of spider-like fighting Zergs with three pairs of sharp bladed feet swarmed out from the cracks in the nest.
They waved their blade legs, trying to block the charge of Demonmon.
puff...
The crisp sounds of bones breaking continued. The abyss demon beasts simply disdained to pay attention to these ant-like guards. In the face of the absolute gap, they just casually raised their huge feet and crushed these roadblocks into meat paste like crushing dead branches.
The sticky insect blood formed a stream on the ground, and the broken shell fragments splashed everywhere.
The battle lasted for one minute, and the enemy's hive was torn into six pieces. A curled-up Zerg mother was taken out and thrown in front of Su Xiao and Lin Yi.
After taking a look at the swarm of insects that was gradually quieting down, Lin Yi and Su Xiao raised their confidence in the Abyss Demon Beast's combat effectiveness to a higher level.
At present, except for the [Star Guardian] that has not yet been cultivated, conventional Zerg below the fourth level are simply vulnerable to the Abyss Demon Beast.
As for whether the fourth-level Zerg can rival the Abyss Demon Beast, Lin Yi is not quite sure.
After all, the threshold for the fourth-order Zerg is to only meet one real attribute, and the strength span is too large, so who is stronger will only be clear after they clash on the battlefield.
"Powerful being, I am willing to submit to you."
The captured mother was crawling on the ground. Her rank was not as high as Jila's, but she was a head taller than Jila. It seemed that Jila's underdeveloped appearance should be a special case.
"Do you want to keep it or not?" Su Xiao turned around and looked at Lin Yi. Su Xiao's inclination was that he would not need this insect queen anymore.
At present, Jila has evolved to the third stage. Except for some special third-stage genetic memories and fourth-order Zerg, other genetic memories are of no help to Jila. Letting Jila devour the other party will only pollute its own genetic memory.
"Have you ever heard of the 'super biological crystal core'? As long as you know the whereabouts of this thing, we will accept your surrender."
Lin Yi did not shout and kill as soon as he came up, but jumped off the back of the Abyss Demon Beast and stood in front of the insect queen.
"I'm sorry... I've never heard of it..." The insect queen knelt on the ground trembling, hoping that Lin Yi and Su Xiao would spare her life.
"Then you are useless." Lin Yi raised his fingertips, and a ray of sword energy pierced her forehead.
For the two of them, accepting the loyalty of this insect queen would be purely asking for trouble.
There can only be one queen insect in a hive, otherwise the mental fluctuations will interfere with each other and weaken the overall combat effectiveness.
Moreover, they did not have the extra resources to train a second Zerg army. Just feeding the Zerg nest of Jila was enough to overwhelm the two of them.
In order to allow Jila to develop, Lin Yi even went overseas, and Su Xiao led a team to encircle and hunt the surrounding prey to accumulate bioenergy in the early stages.
"What is a super biological crystal core?" Su Xiao asked.
"It is a must-have item for Jila to advance to the fourth stage of evolution. Without this item, Jila cannot advance."
Su Xiao nodded and wrote down the name "Super Biological Crystal Core".
After dealing with the insect queen, Su Xiao began to control the demon beast to tear apart the enemy insect nest. This would result in some loss of biological energy, but it would be more efficient than dragging a complete insect nest.
Looking at the insect nest that was torn into dozens of pieces by the demon beast, Lin Yi began to order several worker insects following the team to start laying fungal mats and abyss amplifiers.
Although this will affect the speed of troop expansion a little, steady and cautious progress can ensure that every piece of territory is in your hands.
In the swamp, after two days of fighting, the contractors of Death Paradise finally wiped out the third-order insect queen entrenched in the depths of the swamp and successfully took control of the wetland.
Alec checked the panel of the newly built hive with a gloomy face - the biological energy reserves were almost exhausted, and even the most basic worker insects could not be hatched.
There was no other choice but for Alex to let everyone go out hunting, while he stayed near the insect nest to protect the safety of the insect queen.
In Alex's opinion, as long as the Worm Queen can reach the third level, there is still hope for Death Paradise to turn the tables.
Alex also saw the horror of the third-order insect nest. If the people of Death Paradise had not used special props to force their way into the core of the insect nest, they would probably have been wiped out.
On the other side, after sending a dozen Zerg engineers to carry the hive fragments back to the camp, Su Xiao and Lin Yi immediately began their expansion journey. The boring time on the road always seemed particularly long, but the boredom did not last too long. The outline of the second second-stage hive gradually emerged on the distant horizon.
Without any pre-war negotiations or even any signal, Abyss Devimon rushed forward directly.
This second-stage Zerg nest is about 26 meters high. Judging from the fact that there are only a hundred Zergs around it, the strength of this Zerg nest is average.
At night, the emerald green energy meridians flickered on the surface of the Zerg nest. The Zerg showed very good reaction ability when suddenly attacked. However, this could not make up for the gap between the second-stage combat Zerg and the Abyss Demon Beast.
Along with the hissing sounds that came one after another, green insect blood splattered in the moonlight.
The situation of the hive mother was like that of a girl trapped in a dark alley by a group of thugs. Before she could organize an effective resistance, she was roughly dragged out of the broken hive by the ferocious abyss demon beast.
"Leave him alive." Lin Yi gave a brief order.
Upon hearing this, the demon beast loosened its deadly sharp teeth, and instead used its fangs to bite the insect mother's slender arm, and threw it at Lin Yi's feet like a sack.
This shivering insect queen is only one-third the size of Jila, and its blue-gray shell shows that it is not yet fully mature.
"What... do you want?!"
"Does the super biological crystal core know?"
"I know." The Insect Queen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
In fact, she had no idea what the super-biological crystal core was, but her instinct for survival told her that if she admitted that she knew nothing, death would be the only thing waiting for her.
"It seems that it doesn't know." Su Xiao and Lin Yi both saw that the insect mother did not know what the 'super biological crystal core' was. After confirming that the other party had no use value, the exile fragment on Su Xiao's sleeve instantly penetrated the insect mother's body.
After confirming that the target was completely dead, Su Xiao took back the exile fragment and turned away with Lin Yi.
Behind him, the army of abyss demon beasts was like a moving shadow in the night, moving towards the third second-stage insect nest.
When the sun slowly climbed up to the horizon, inside a thirty-meter-high insect nest.
Tick tock, tick tock...
Emerald green bioenergy liquid dripped slowly from the broken meridians of the insect nest. The insect nest had completely closed and entered its final defense state.
In the deepest part of the nest, a second-stage Zerg mother collapsed on the sticky biological tissue, her slender neck was covered with hideous bite marks, and one of her arms had been neatly cut off, with light green body fluids still oozing from the broken surface.
The horrifying sound of tearing continued to come from the outer wall of the hive, accompanied by the crisp sound of the shells of creatures being violently broken.
puff!
A sharp tail pierced the inner wall of the insect nest. The seriously injured mother curled up her body and hid in the corner. She was not afraid in her heart, but was just thinking about how to survive.
Red Tail knew exactly what he was facing - this was the most feared predatory group among the Zerg.
The so-called predatory tribe completely gives up hunting other creatures, and instead develops by devouring other insect nests.
Wherever it passed, only the remains of hollowed-out insect nests were left behind.
Just as Hongwei was thinking about how to survive, an abyss demon beast squeezed half of its body in from the breach in the insect nest.
Surprisingly, these abyss demon beasts did not launch an attack immediately, but instead retreated to the sides tacitly, leaving a passage.
Before Red Tail could react, a black shadow suddenly dropped from the sky - Baha spread out his wide wing membrane, and his sharp claws accurately grasped Red Tail's shoulders, and soared into the sky amid the latter's painful scream.
The violent air currents hit the scarred shell of the red-tailed beast, and the short one-minute flight seemed like an eternity to her.
When Baha released her claws, she fell heavily to the hard ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Cough cough cough" Hongwei raised his head with difficulty, and what came into his sight were two figures sitting on the back of the Abyss Demon Beast.
Su Xiao wiped the long sword indifferently, while Lin Yi looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Although the multiple wounds on his body were still oozing body fluids, Hongwei still endured the severe pain, supported his body with his only remaining arm, and made a standard surrender posture.
In the cruel world of Thornworm Star, the law of the jungle is the eternal law.
Hongwei knew very well that even though the two people in front of her had just destroyed her insect nest and slaughtered her people, the strong were the absolute truth.
"Do you know the super biological crystal core?" Lin Yi's voice was a little tired. He couldn't remember how many times he had asked this question tonight. The confused expressions of the first dozen or so insect queens made him almost lose hope.
"Super biological crystal core? Do you mean what is needed for the fourth stage of evolution?" Hongwei's timid voice made Su Xiao and Lin Yi, who were originally counting the results of the battle, turn their heads at the same time, and both of them looked at the insect queen kneeling on the ground.
"You know?" Lin Yi's eyes focused, and the abyss demon beasts immediately surrounded him, with their scarlet compound eyes fixed on Red Tail.
"I know." After being surrounded by the Abyss Demon Beast, Red Tail's body trembled, and his entire body almost completely stuck to the ground, even his tentacles were tightly retracted.
She had never felt such a terrible sense of oppression, as if she would be torn into pieces in the next second.
"Where did you get the news?"
"Sir, I am the direct descendant of Lord Hong'e, so I have heard of this."
The only three fourth-order insect nests currently remaining on the continent - Hong'e, Mag and Baixi - are like three insurmountable mountains, stretching across this land.
If the base camp forest is taken as the radiation range, then the major forces around Lin Yi are: Mag Insect Nest, Red Evil Insect Nest, Sun Tribe, Hasaro Tribe, and Frog Tribe.
As for the remaining two totem tribes and one Hundred Attack Mother Nest, they are all on the other side of the continent. It would take more than ten days just to travel there, even if the Zerg army is working day and night.
"You are the descendant of Hong'e, why did you run here? This place is not far from the Sun Tribe?" Lin Yi asked the question in his heart while looking at Hongwei lying on the ground in front of him.
"My Lord, I am a failure who was banished. Among the three eggs laid by Lord Hong'e, I was the only one who failed to inherit the blood-erosion talent, so I was forced to leave Lord Hong'e's sphere of influence. Otherwise, my other two sisters would have killed me directly."
"Regarding the origin of the super-biological crystal core, Lord Hong'e never revealed the specific details to us, and that conversation was just a spur of the moment. It is said that this thing is very difficult to obtain, and only certain very rare creatures can obtain it, and the combat power of these creatures is very strong."
Lin Yi stroked his chin thoughtfully, his eyes roaming back and forth over Hongwei.
He could sense that the insect queen was not lying, but the lack of intelligence still made him a little disappointed.
"What kind of creature?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Hong'e didn't tell us. Lord Hong'e was just in a whim at the time, so I know so much."
"Baha, I'm leaving this insect queen to you. We've been busy all night, it's time to go back." Lin Yi stretched. To be honest, sitting on the back of the abyss demon beast was not a good experience.
Upon hearing this, Hongwei's body visibly relaxed a bit, but he still maintained a respectful posture.
After the battle was over and the spoils were collected, each demon beast was carrying or dragging several large pieces of hive fragments. It was time to return to the base camp.
After a whole night of bloody fighting, the combat quality of the abyss beasts has been significantly improved.
These ferocious creatures initially only scratched and bit based on instinct, but in the continuous and high-intensity combat, they gradually mastered tactical coordination.
Now they know how to outflank, coordinate attacks, and even use their long, hard tails to block attacks.
When facing enemies that can self-destruct, you can use fake moves to trick them into detonating early.
This improvement in combat intelligence is not an isolated phenomenon, but a synchronous evolution of the entire ethnic group.
All Abyss Demon Beasts displayed the same tactical awareness, which showed that they shared some kind of group combat memory and the entire tribe was rapidly accumulating experience through actual combat.
When the team finally returned to the Thornhive, the surrounding scenery was not much different from before they set out. The only difference was that there was a pile of hive fragments in the center of the hive. (End of this chapter)
