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

The thousand-year-old soul beast finally lost its patience and slammed one of its pincers down hard on the dense swarm of jumping insects in front of it!

Lin Fan immediately manipulated the jumping insects to jump backward.

boom--!

The pliers struck empty air and landed on the ground.

Lin Fan seized the opportunity, and the following few jumping insects suddenly leaped up!

They pounced on the thousand-year-old soul beast, stabbing its soft parts with their sharp claws and teeth, and then used the soul beast's body as a springboard.

Upon touching the point of separation, he jumped back to a distance and quietly watched the soul beast.

"Ow!!!"

The thousand-year-old soul beast suddenly felt pain and angrily tried to lash out with its huge tail at the jumping insects that had leaped onto it, only to find that they had already fled far away.

All the jumping insects remained as still as statues, silently watching the thousand-year-old soul beast.

If it weren't for the pain emanating from its body, it would hardly believe that the battle that had just been about to break out had actually happened!

A hint of fear appeared in the eyes of the thousand-year-old soul beast. It roared again, and its whole body burst with purple light!

It's now!

Lin Fan immediately manipulated the jumping insects to run backwards, while two other groups of jumping insects quickly climbed up the tree trunk.

"hiss--!"

The thousand-year-old soul beast suddenly shot out a stream of green venom from its tail!

But there was nothing there!

The venom sizzled as it hit the ground, corroding the soil.

"Shout!"

Flying insects roared and swarmed forward from all directions—front, back, and underground.

Even above our heads, fleas leaped down from the trees and pounced on us!

The thousand-year-old soul beast closed its eyes in despair.

A chilling tearing sound echoed through the silent forest!

Inside the mother nest, Lin Fan stretched and chuckled dismissively.

"He just unleashed his ultimate move right from the start, what's the point of fighting? I thought he was some kind of super strong guy."

"Mastermind, input the combat technique I just used into the Zerg mind network. All Zerg units will learn this kiting combat skill."

The Overlord's combat consciousness has been uploaded.

Lin Fan pondered to himself, it seemed that this soul beast's attack method relied on its powerful body and soul skills.

Once the physical body becomes useless, then the soul skill becomes the ultimate move.

However, using a powerful move will inevitably consume some resources, and that's when you can take advantage of your weakness to finish you off!

The Zerg, with their superior combat skills, can even defeat stronger opponents, and their sheer numbers further enhance their advantage.

I can hardly imagine the fear that the soul beasts in this world will feel when facing the insectoid army!

Just as Lin Fan was about to withdraw his mental perspective, a blinding purple light caught his attention.

Controlling a jumping insect, I curiously stepped forward to investigate. Beneath a mesmerizing purple spirit ring, a purple bone was continuously radiating light.

"This is... a soul bone!"

Lin Fan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as a torso-like bone lay on the ground, radiating a mesmerizing light.

It seems this spirit beast harbored a great deal of resentment when it died.

Lin Fan immediately sent out several worker bees to drag the corpse of the soul beast back, and also retrieve the soul bone.

Lin Fan then disconnected from the mental network and checked his energy points.

【5023 points】

So much energy has been collected in such a short time!

The corpses of soul beasts, combined with the energy conversion efficiency of the corruption pool, greatly increased the speed of energy collection.

After some thought, Lin Fan concluded that the thousand-year-old soul beast must have some usable genes in its body.

I currently have six mother nests. I will use four of them to hatch springtails, and keep one level-two mother nest and one level-one mother nest as backups.

[Following your will]

Inside the four enormous caves, the hatched insect eggs rapidly swelled up to form spores.

Ferocious fighting machines were constantly being conceived inside.

Soon, several worker bees dragged the corpse of the soul beast back and threw it into the hatching pool.

Lin Fan took the soul bone and examined it carefully. The soul bone felt cool and smooth to the touch. Although it was a bone, it was as warm and smooth as jade.

Apart from the purple glow it emitted upon birth, it will be entirely black, like a piece of black jade.

Lin Fan has not yet awakened his martial soul, so naturally he cannot absorb this soul bone.

Moreover, Lin Fan didn't even want a mere piece of soul bone from a thousand-year-old soul beast.

"Mastermind, can we extract the properties of this soul bone to enhance the Zerg?"

【Yes, please place it in the Corruption Pool, Master】

It actually works!

Lin Fan walked to the edge of the corruption pool and threw the soul bone in.

Wait quietly for a moment.

Then a notification from the main brain came to my mind.

[Gene extraction complete]

[Genes extracted from the soul beast: venom spraying, sharp claws, body hardening]

[Genes extracted from the Soul Bone: Torso hardening, armor plating]

[Can produce a new Zerg unit: Hydralisk]

[Can perform enhancements on all Zerg units: increased body hardness, enhanced carapace coverage]

Lin Fan was stunned by this wave of news!

This thousand-year-old spirit beast is a godsend! It's even given me new Zerg units!

Lin Fan immediately ordered: The level 2 Mother Nest and the remaining level 1 Mother Nests to produce Hydralisks at full capacity!

[Following your will]

Three enormous spores rapidly swelled up inside the secondary mother nest before them.

This time, the spores swelled up high, much taller than Lin Fan, and a terrifying aura emanated from them.

Meanwhile, the springtails in the other cave had hatched and emerged.

"Huh? Why have these springtails changed?"

[Subsequently hatched Zerg units will be directly enhanced, while already spawned Zerg units can return to the creep for further enhancement.]

Lin Fan suddenly realized that this was quite convenient.

Carefully examining the enhanced leaping bug, it was no longer the frail creature it once was, but covered entirely in a layer of jet-black armor. Its two claws were even wider, gleaming with a menacing cold light.

Its dark, all-black appearance is intimidating; it's a heavily armored, high-attack zebra!

Lin Fan was extremely excited. If the Zerglings had evolved to this extent, how strong would the subsequent units be?

"Send out the newly hatched leaping insects to hunt soul beasts, and bring back the dozens of leaping insects that went out to strengthen them."

【Yes! 】

Soon, dozens of springtails came running back one after another and lay down on the fungal carpet.

The fungal carpet enveloped the springtails.

The tiny spores kept wriggling and expanding.

Chapter 9: The terrifying power of the Hydralisks expands to the outer edges of the forest.

The hatching time required for a hydralisk is almost twice that of a springtail.

All the Zerglings had finished their enhancements, and it took quite a while before the Hydralisks finally hatched.

stab-

Three giant spores suddenly burst open, and three pairs of huge scythes pierced through the spores, tearing them apart.

The enormous hydralisk slowly emerged from the spore.

Its ferocious head was raised high like a king cobra, dragging its long body as it crawled on the ground.

A pair of curved scythes grew on the front of its body, gleaming with a sharp, cold light.

The hydralisk's head, held high, was flat and elongated, its narrow pupils gleaming with a scarlet light.

A huge sac bulged out from behind the head, filled with deadly acidic venom!

The tail, which should have been incredibly soft, has been reinforced, and the entire body is covered with a thick layer of black armor.

Ferocious, dangerous, yet captivating.

The hydralisk before him was like a work of art, captivating Lin Fan.

"That's fucking cool!"

Lin Fan couldn't wait to order the Hydralisks to emerge from the ground and search for prey, wanting to see just how powerful they were.

Deep in the forest, the springtails, having received their orders, sprang into action.

Soon, a soul beast that was about a hundred years old was surrounded by the jumping insects.

Lin Fan shifted his consciousness to a jumping insect and quickly gained its field of vision.
