Zerg in the crystal wall world

The Lord set his sights on the strange tree and actively invested his will into it.

The next moment, the master felt that he had turned into a big tree with lush branches. The crown of the tree trembles gently in the breeze and rising sun, and its roots stretch wildly in the soil.

The most important thing is that as his "heart" beats one after another, a network of hive consciousness that is very different from the worms envelopes his body.

More natural and peaceful emotions emerged in the Lord's heart than before, and the Lord seemed to be integrated into the surrounding vitality...

For a while. Only then did the master pull his consciousness away from the strange tree.

He probably gets it.

The extraordinary power wielded by the strange tree emphasizes interaction with the surrounding natural environment.

In other words, the richer the surrounding environment and the closer it is to nature, the stronger this supernatural power will be.

Despite the complex and three-dimensional forest ecosystem composed of dense grass, shrubs, trees and various fungi and animals, the environment under zerg control only has a monotonous carpet. But in terms of vitality and disaster resistance, the zerg ecosystem crushes the forest ecosystem.

It's just that the strange trees, which are products of the forest system, were originally incompatible with the insect swarm environment, and they could only watch helplessly as they could not integrate into this piece of life. After the Overlord pulled it into the Hive Will, this barrier was broken, and the power of the strange tree was able to explode into real effect.

It's a pity that the strange tree is just a tree after all. In addition to making the heart of the tree beat faster to increase the output, even the master cannot control the green supernatural power to perform more detailed operations.

But having said that, this kind of power to connect with nature is very suitable for the insect swarm.

"Try to see if this tree can reproduce or divide." The master asked Agatha, but he didn't hold out much hope. After all, even now, the DNA of the strange tree is still the same as that of ordinary trees.

The Lord returned his attention to the squirrel and began to prepare the alienated combat body again.

Link DNA, modify genes...huh?

Feedback came from the Hive Mind—the carpet of bacteria was damaged.

The Master immediately connected to Agatha and used her vision to see far away.

Sure enough, a group of wild boars as big as calves were found at the far end of the fungus carpet. With their thick bristles, horns and contaminated mud, they turned a blind eye to the erosion of the fungus carpet. They stepped on it carelessly and feasted on the fungus carpet tissue.

They even invited friends and similar people to come and taste these "good-looking mushrooms".

"..." Having committed suicide like this, should I be called the second senior brother?

The Lord looked at the wild boar not far away, with a strong body, shiny fur, and four majestic tusks, and then looked down at the cute little Ji Xu in his hand.

The master naturally threw the squirrel away and waited for the wild boar to be infected...

…………

Debugging the alienated combat body is simpler than imagined.

Connect the bacteria carpet to provide nutrients, find a suitable genome from the trait library of the super-evolved virus, and insert it into the wild boar gene chain.

Until noon.

The four-tusked wild boar no longer looks like a pig.

The body surface is covered with a tough carapace, and the limbs are longer and much thicker. A pair of hind limbs are as thick as telegraph poles and have a structure that looks like the hind limbs of a cricket. The four pig teeth have become thicker. Bigger and sharper. There are also two sickle-shaped compound limbs that are very characteristic of Zerg.

Speaking of which, the underlying templates of most zerg are actually six pairs of limbs. Whether it is king worms, springtails, cockroaches, or ultralisks, even the modified Kerrigan has six pairs of limbs. A pair of "wings".

Of course, it is also possible that six limbs are the optimal solution that takes into account both action and attack.

There is also a master with this kind of structure, but at this time his body is in a sleeping state, and his appendages are still in a "primitive essence" state, waiting to be activated...

boom--

An infected wild boar that was only half a circle smaller than the four-tusked wild boar was sent flying more than ten meters away by the four-tusked wild boar.

Its power is already comparable to the humanoid root vine monster that just died this morning, and its combat effectiveness is very impressive.

Even Agatha spoke highly of it: "If seven or eight of these pig-shaped alien combatants are used together, and with certain tactics, we can even defeat a springtail..."

...The master took it as a compliment.

Unlike most alien combat bodies, the overall appearance of Si Teeth is not deformed.

This is because most of the zerg organs in the alienated combat bodies are first induced to form tumors in the original body tissues, and then differentiated on the basis of the tumors. Therefore, the images of most alienated combat entities are difficult to describe in one word.

But this kind of problem can be overcome with a little attention. The worst case is that it will be cut and re-grown. This fungus carpet is originally transformed into callus. If nothing else, it can stop bleeding and callus immediately.

It's just that plastic surgery is easy, but it is difficult to maintain the balance of various systems of the host body, including hormones, circulation, immunity, and urinary system. This is an extremely delicate job.

The master used the method of adding water to the pigs, and tried back and forth several times, and finally found a balance point where each system worked stably - but the genetic chain collapsed.

Even though this pig is bouncing around now, it will die violently in less than three days.

In this regard, Agatha gave a very professional opinion: "You should further strengthen its adrenal glands, so that its survival time will be further reduced, but it can ensure that it has sufficient fighting power until death."

Well, that's very Zerg.

"Isn't there a way to keep it alive longer?"

Agatha does not need to answer this question, the Lord also knows: yes.

There are genetic engineers in the insect swarm who are responsible for evolutionary design, but only very few.

After all, for Zerg, random mutation and selection of billions of individuals is much more reliable than cultivating a group of experts.

The same goes for cultivating alienated combatants. By infecting hundreds of thousands or millions of wild boars, the balance between the host and the insect's organs is naturally found.

Of course, there is no simple method: start cultivating from fertilized eggs, and let the zerg organs and wild boar internal organs develop together. With the adaptability of the worms, there will naturally be no imbalance.

But boars are not birds.

In a previous life, it took six months for a breeding farm to raise a meat-eating pig, not counting the four months of pregnancy. Even if the zerg genes could shorten this process, it wouldn't be much faster without the modulation of large zerg organs hundreds of meters high.

The time can be shortened by four or five times at most. When the piglet grows up, the sea of ​​dogs under the master may burst out.

The master waved his hand, and Si Ya, who was still having fun, immediately became quiet, shook twice and fell to the ground.

The mycelium quickly climbs up the wild boar's body, stretches through the gaps in its carapace, and grows on its body, eventually forming a thin cocoon that is fed by the fungus blanket. The various organs of the wild boar fall into deep sleep, waiting until necessary to wake up again.

The Juggernaut turns his attention to the other boars...
