Zerg in the crystal wall world

A week flies by.

The area covered by the fungus carpet has reached 80 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of a town.

The Lord was still sitting on the creep sofa under the strange tree.

But at this time, the appearance of the sofa has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The extra chitin bone armor is the most supportive, making the sofa look a bit more ferocious.

Behind the backrest of the sofa are many cable-like structures that hang down into the ground and are connected to the fungus carpet.

This is because the Overlord often relies on this position to use psionic energy and has evolved a structure similar to a nerve cord, which can improve the efficiency of the Overlord's use of psionic energy. However, since there is no evolutionary cavity to activate key gene segments, the increase is better than nothing.

The germ blanket surrounding Agatha not far away is more differentiated. Large and small tumor-like organs guarded her side, beating slightly.

These are various organs that have differentiated to assist Agatha in managing the carpets everywhere. They contain a large amount of neural tissue, which is what Agatha calls "climb nodules". Even so, Agatha was still a little overwhelmed - she was not a construction unit after all.

But she was about to be freed, not far from the Lord. A cocoon as tall as a three-story building is slowly expanding and contracting.

Snapped--

The cocoon bursts, and a large amount of juice flows everywhere and is quickly absorbed by the fungus carpet. An organic building with bone spurs all over its body burst out of the capsule.

It looks like a carpet spore pod magnified countless times. The injector at its upper end, which is made up of coiled ring-like muscles that resembles a half-bean pod, can generate huge pressure to eject the slurry full of fungal spores thousands of meters away.

The cyst supported by the carapace at the lower end looks like a balloon-like fluid storage sac, but in fact, the interior is divided into small chambers by countless membranes. The membranes contain a large number of glands that can quickly produce spore slurry.

This is the venomophage. With only a slight modification, the cysts below it can be turned to produce concentrated bile. The resulting bile jet was once used as an orbital attack weapon in the insect swarm.

Of course, because there is no evolution cavity and the key genes cannot be activated, even if the master personally transforms it, the power it can achieve is limited.

But weapons are not the most important job of the venomophage.

It can also swallow living creatures and send them into small chambers in the cyst to modify viruses in a targeted manner or create alienated combatants.

In addition, its core has an extremely complex neural structure to integrate and control the surrounding carpet. This is also its greatest value to the Overmind - serving as a temporary hub for the swarm.

The Overlord also plans to link his two female nesting birds, waterfowl and small birds, with venomophages to facilitate the further shaping of these two units...

Although the establishment of a hatchery is still far away, at least the current insect swarm is out of the stage where everything depends on the master.

But the Lord had no intention of relaxing.

Within a week, the infected waterbird that was the first to be released had flown a distance of nearly 30,000 kilometers.

Logically speaking, this distance can already circle the earth more than half way around, but from the perspective of the Overlord's perception through the Hive Mind, it is still moving away.

Moreover, the environment that the waterbirds pass through does not change at all.

Not to mention the climate type, even the temperature, humidity, and terrain are no different from the area where the Lord is located. There are no deserts, no grasslands, no oceans, and not even mountains.

Just endless rainforest.

This made the master wonder whether the world he was in was spherical.

At the same time, Agatha's observation of the stars also foreshadows this.

The sky was full of stars, and there was no change except brightness for a whole week, not even rising in the east or setting in the west. It seemed that their positions were all fixed, as if it was just a map.

As for the only good news, probably after flying for so long, they still didn't find any traces of civilization.

It's not just waterbirds that travel far. The birds produced in the bird's nest are sparsely scattered and fly back and forth in an area dozens of times outside the carpet coverage area.

There is more than one waterbird released by the master in all directions, but these waterbirds not only have the task of exploration. After they fly far enough, they will find a safe area to sleep.

When the Overlord discovers that the world is safe, or the current base is exposed, the fungi in their bodies will spread under the Overlord's command and become an outpost or backup territory for the insect swarm.

The Overlord set his sights on the venomophage.

Look for another week.

If after a week, there is still no sign of civilization, he will order the phages to spread the disease-causing spores into the atmosphere...

Just as this idea came up, Agatha's voice suddenly came: "Master, something has been discovered in the germ carpet."

"Which position!" The master responded immediately.

A few minutes later.

A water bird, carrying the master's consciousness, came to the edge of the carpet.

At this time, the water bird has been transformed by the master several times, and has long lost its original appearance.

The wings became slightly shorter, but the muscle texture became more obvious. The feathers on the neck were replaced by large pieces of lightweight carapace. The webs on the feet disappeared and were replaced by giant claws that resembled sickles.

The originally short beak became even shorter, and two rows of upper and lower fangs grew. However, on both sides of the Arrow Gull's face, long sharp horns extended forward. This is a structure similar to the side horns on the face of a springtail. After browsing the zerg gene library, the Overlord discovered that the zerg was not very interested in the structure of the beak. Instead of just replacing the beak with the chitin structure of the zerg , it is better to put a bumper on it.

Because its attack method is mainly to hit with one's own body, the Lord gave it a new name - Arrow Gull.

On the belly of the Arrow Gull, there is a huge eyeball for easy viewing from a high altitude.

The Lord relied on this eyeball to see the abnormal phenomenon in Agatha's mouth.

It was a thick tree about the same size as the strange tree, with lush leaves and thick roots, and looked full of vitality.

Of course, this tree is not the key point, and there is no psionic energy fluctuation on it. The key lies in the position of the trunk close to the root.

There was a huge, fiber-splattered wound.

Deep in the wound, there were five extremely deep scratches.

The claw marks are very obvious, and the power is exaggerated. Judging from the degree of damage, the tree trunk is no different from tofu to the claw wielder.

"Those genetically inferior individuals cannot cause such traces." Agatha said seriously.

Indeed, let alone ordinary beasts, even the impact of a wild boar-shaped alien combat body would be difficult to cause such marks.

The Master controlled the Arrow Gull to jump forward twice, carefully studying the traces.

It's a pity that this is not the product of a psionic attack, and it is impossible to judge the opponent's psionic level from it.

"Tell me, why did that individual leave such traces?"

"Perhaps it's just a means of declaring power." Agatha analyzed. "Inferior creatures are always accustomed to leaving marks in areas where they frequently move."

"Then there must be other signs around." The Lord ordered, "Look for it!"

…………

I changed the "Zerg" in the title of the work to "Zerg".

I hope it can attract more Zerg enthusiasts.

So far, I haven’t signed any contracts, so I’m a little panicked.
