Douluo Continent: Starting with Transforming Xiao Wu into the Zerg Queen

"Kacha kacha——"

A burst of noise reached my ears.

Lin Fan had a strange dream in which he was the Insect Emperor, ruling over everything in his path. Nothing grew where he went, and his vast insectoid army turned every world into nourishment! He led billions of insectoids, conquering the universe and all the myriad worlds!

"So, time travel and all that stuff is just a lie, right?"

Lin Fan opened his eyes with a murmur, turned his head to the side, and in a daze, he saw a Zerg worker bee from his dream crawling back and forth in front of him.

"Ha, I must still be sleepy."

Lin Fan closed his eyes again and lay down on the ground.

Huh? Why is this bed so hard? Lin Fan stretched out his hands and kept groping, but only grabbed a handful of soft soil mixed with a few weeds.

"Kacha kacha——"

The loud noise still surrounded Lin Fan's ears, and Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes.

The azure sky and the dazzling sunlight pierced through the towering trees, some a hundred meters tall, and shone on Lin Fan's face, stinging his eyes.

Lin Fan turned his head and saw the monster that had emerged from the black egg tirelessly chiseling at the giant tree with its enormous pincers. In just a short while, half of the trunk of one of the giant trees had already been chipped away.

“Crack, click, click—!”

With a swing of the giant pincers, the trunk of the giant tree snapped completely and slowly fell to the ground.

"How spectacular!" Lin Fan exclaimed. It was a rare sight to see a giant tree, hundreds of meters tall, fall like this.

But why is there something wrong with the direction this tree fell in?

A dark shadow gradually grew larger in front of Lin Fan.

"Mist grass!"

Lin Fan hurriedly got up and scrambled to the side.

"Boom--!"

The giant tree crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. The powerful tremor startled the birds in the forest, and a flock of them fluttered away and disappeared.

"cough cough"

Lin Fan stood amidst the dust, glaring angrily at the monster before him. He had almost died a horrible death at the hands of his own cheat ability the moment he transmigrated! Did this thing have no brains?

Suddenly, a slight tingling pain shot through his head, and a flood of memories rushed into Lin Fan's mind.

Lin Fan gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and accepted the memory.

soon.

Lin Fan opened his eyes again, his eyes filled with uncontainable joy!

Lao Tzu—truly the ruler of the Zerg!

Then Lin Fan turned to look at the black monster beside him. He never expected that this thing was actually the most basic unit in the Zerg, the worker bee!

"No wonder."

Lin Fan murmured, no wonder the appearance of this worker bee and the pool of purplish-black liquid seemed so familiar to him.

Lin Fan closed his eyes, and an invisible mental thread connected him to the worker bee. With just a thought, the worker bee would perform the corresponding action according to his wishes.

Lin Fan opened his eyes, a hint of curiosity in his mind, and silently gave the order: Go, smash this tree with all your might.

"Ow!"

The worker bee climbed up to the tree and slammed its pincers into the trunk.

With a loud bang, a huge crack appeared in the trunk of the tree!

Keep in mind, this is a giant tree that's hundreds of meters tall! That worker bee's attack was truly formidable!

Lin Fan was overjoyed and then continued to issue orders: drag the fallen tree into the fungal carpet.

Emerging from the insect eggs along with the worker bees is a substance unique to the insectoid race, called a microbial carpet. This carpet, composed of countless microorganisms, can absorb and devour any substance, converting it into energy needed by the insectoid race.

Furthermore, creep can store energy, which can be used to evolve Zerg or heal the Zerg army. It's a multi-functional artifact, and in areas covered by creep, Zerg can receive an endless supply of resources during battles. It's fair to say that the Zerg are a race born for combat and slaughter!

The worker bee slowly climbed to the side of the giant tree trunk, and used its two pincers to pick up the tree and slowly drag it onto the fungal carpet.

Suddenly, streams of purplish-black viscous liquid gushed out from the fungal carpet, tightly enveloping the tree trunk. The trunk, once encased, quickly dissolved into a pool of purplish-black liquid and merged into the fungal carpet.

At the same time, a message suddenly appeared in Lin Fan's mind: [Energy collected: 10 points]

After the fungal carpet on the ground devoured this section of the tree trunk, it expanded considerably, covering an area of ​​about three square meters. Because the giant tree trunk was too long, the worker bees could only drag it onto the fungal carpet little by little, and then drag the rest of the trunk over after the carpet had absorbed it.

Fortunately, the fungal carpet devoured the tree quickly; in about ten minutes, a giant tree over 100 meters tall was completely consumed.

The area of ​​the fungal carpet has also expanded to about 10 square meters. The microbial mucus on the fungal carpet is constantly wriggling, seemingly excited about absorbing enough energy!

According to Lin Fan's senses, this fungal carpet has absorbed approximately 1350 points of energy, which, combined with the initial energy within the carpet, is enough to hatch a main nest!

Without further hesitation, Lin Fan immediately issued the order to begin hatching.

The worker bee slowly crawled onto the fungal carpet and let out a roar. Countless dark purple fungal carpets surged up instantly, continuously enveloping the worker bee layer by layer.

moment.

The fungal carpet on the ground had almost disappeared, and a huge spore appeared in front of Lin Fan, its round and bulging appearance was quite terrifying!

The spores are about the size of a small house, with scarlet and purplish-black patterns constantly flowing across their surface.

The spores seem to have a life of their own; during the hatching process, they even expand and contract, as if they are breathing!

The most important Zerg structure is the Hive, which can be considered the foundation of the Zerg race's existence. It plays a crucial role in evolution, production, and reproduction. Furthermore, all Zerg structures are alive! They only die completely when their energy is depleted, making the Zerg arguably the most resilient species in the universe!

Seeing that the main nest was already hatching, Lin Fan sat on the ground, bored and lost in thought.

What kind of world is this?

Since the Zerg have traveled through time with me, could this be the magnificent world where the three races are vying for supremacy?

Looking at the towering trees around him and breathing in the sweet air, Lin Fan had some guesses in his mind.

It's either a magical otherworld or it really is that world of vying for supremacy!

"hiss--!"

A strange-looking lizard that suddenly appeared on a tree trunk in front of him caught Lin Fan's attention.

It was entirely dark brown, with several strange, backward-facing horns on its body. About twenty centimeters long, it was sticking out its tongue and climbing towards a branch. At the end of the branch, an oblivious little bird was tilting its head, eating an insect at its feet.

Lin Fan's interest was instantly piqued; this was the first time he had ever seen creatures from another world! What's more, these were unfamiliar creatures he was about to hunt.

The lizard got closer and closer to the bird on the branch, but then it did something that Lin Fan never expected!

It opened its huge mouth and spewed out a stream of flame!

The little bird on the branch was instantly charred and fell stiffly to the ground.

The lizard leaped down and followed.

Lin Fan was shocked; this lizard could actually breathe fire!

The lizard opened its massive jaws and swallowed the charred bird whole, chewing it carefully. Unaware of the furtive figure behind it, Lin Fan slammed a huge rock down on the lizard's head!

The lizard didn't even have time to scream before it was killed by Lin Fan. Lin Fan threw away the stone in his hand and hurriedly squatted down to examine the lizard.

A moment later, Lin Fan's face showed disappointment. "What the hell? It can breathe fire, but there's nothing inside its body. That shouldn't be the case. Could it not be a magical beast?"

"Om-!"

A beam of white light suddenly emanated from the lizard.

At the same time, a white halo emerged from the lizard's body, slowly rose, and floated directly above the lizard!

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Fan had a sudden inspiration and exclaimed in surprise!

"Holy crap! A spirit ring? Douluo Continent?!"

Chapter 3: Hive Hatching, Extracting the First Gene

Lin Fan stared in disbelief at the white halo floating above the lizard corpse in front of him.

This scene was exactly the same as the description in the Douluo Continent I had read!

Add to that this oddly shaped lizard, and there couldn't be a more coincidental thing in the world!

If I remember correctly, the white halo is called a soul ring. A white, ten-year soul ring?

Lin Fan sighed. This made sense. He was able to easily ambush and kill the lizard because it was just a small ten-year-old soul beast.

However, after figuring out that he was in the world of Douluo Continent, Lin Fan looked up at the towering ancient trees around him and pondered, "So, where am I now?"

Starry Sky Forest? Soul Hunting Forest? Or Sunset Forest?

Lin Fan didn't even consider the forest that was supposed to be teeming with ice-type spirit beasts. This forest was clearly a picture of birdsong and fragrant flowers, bathed in the bright sunshine of spring—hardly the kind of place that would be known for ice-type spirit beasts.

Hundred-meter-tall towering trees

A sense of crisis welled up in Lin Fan's heart. He knew that in the Soul Beast Forest of Douluo Continent...

The deeper you go, the denser the vegetation becomes, and the taller the trees grow, resembling an ancient forest.

However, the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes!

Ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts occupy their own territories, while thousand-year-old soul beasts roam around hunting. In fact, every forest contains hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts!

He was now just an ordinary person with absolutely no fighting power. If he were deep in the Soul Beast Forest, he probably wouldn't even know how he died!

Lin Fan turned his gaze to the mother nest that was incubating nearby. Now, all he could do was wait until it finished hatching. This mother nest would be his greatest asset. Suddenly, the image of himself dominating the universe in his dreams flashed through Lin Fan's mind, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

The sun was setting in the west, casting a dim light through the forest. The tall trees almost completely blocked out the sunlight, causing the temperature in the forest to drop sharply, and darkness was imminent.

Lin Fan sat on the ground, hugging his arms and shivering. The cold and gloomy atmosphere was really hard to bear.

Even ordinary forests are fraught with danger at night, let alone the depths of the Soul Beast Forest in Douluo Continent.

The howls of wolves and the cries of other spirit beasts that echoed from the edge of the forest sent shivers down Lin Fan's spine. He figured it was too deep inside for ordinary spirit beasts to venture in. But who knew if a starving, irrational spirit beast might risk it all!

Lin Fan looked at the mother nest that was still hatching, his heart filled with anxiety. When would this thing finally finish hatching?

It seemed as if it had heard Lin Fan's thoughts.

The enormous spore continued to expand, reaching the height of two or three stories. The blood vessels and crevices on the spore's surface grew larger and larger, and with a deafening explosion, a grotesque building appeared before Lin Fan's eyes!
