Zerg in the crystal wall world

Mutated world.

Center.

A towering yet winding deep forest.

Mota was fighting a giant creature that was half plant and half tentacles, a thousand meters high.

It's okay to say that he was beaten unilaterally.

The huge creature was trying to extract the life force from Mota's body.

But under the active restraint of the son of nature, it is like sucking a man's cock, nothing will come out.

Seeing the delicious food but not being able to eat it, the giant creature was impatient and whipped Mota repeatedly with its tentacles.

Due to the huge size difference, if you ignore the sonic boom clouds that Mota was repeatedly drawn out of, the scene would look no different from carrying ashes at first glance.

But even after being treated like this, Mota still didn't feel much anger.

It's not because of anything else. The monster that slapped her was her mother tree.

This original Tree of Life of the Maple Leaf Tribe, after Mota's unremitting efforts during this period of time, has become an out-and-out zerg unit, and should now be called a nest tower.

Because it is supported by the fungus blanket, the Tree of Life as a plant has all life activities such as photosynthesis and transpiration abandoned, and its leaves are also degenerated.

The stems, which originally served only for support and guidance, have further elongated, twisted, and differentiated, growing into complex structures like antennas.

Ignoring the exaggerated athletic ability, in terms of appearance alone, it looks a bit like the bronze tree in Sanxingdui.

At this time, the Tree of Life has become a node creature, possessing the ability to corrode and hypnotize all living creatures within its range.

But now a problem arises: the vitality node creature is essentially the bridge between the will of the hive and the natural ecology.

It requires an extremely deep "understanding" of the Hive Mind.

But obviously, an individual without a brood mind is not qualified to understand the hive mind.

Therefore, there was a problem with the most critical aspect, which was to give the nest tower a clear will of its own.

The nest tower is crazy... To say "crazy" is a bit inaccurate.

The essence of the "personality" of the Tree of Life is a reflection of the hydrological ecology of a region. At this time, the madness is just a reflection of the surface of the Hive Will - the gluttons who fanatically pursue evolution.

Motta tried many methods, but he couldn't make his mother tree have a clear self while retaining the node talent.

After being whipped back and forth for two more rounds, even Mota couldn't bear it any longer. After all, she could only be considered half a twelfth-level unit after she and the unicorn were "fused", and she was still unable to ignore physical attacks.

After giving up on the delicate carving of the physical and spiritual aspects of the mother tree, Mota's mind moved slightly. The vigorous life force was immediately forcibly separated from the body of her mother tree.

The overly strong biological activity of the mother tree began to decrease sharply, and soon returned to its normal, unactivated form - a twisted tentacle shaped like an antenna.

Mota fell from the air and stepped on the twisted branches: "It seems that we have to wait for a while if we want to really chat."

The biggest problem with the current hive tower is that it assumes similar responsibilities as an insect mother, but lacks the corresponding hive mind. The unlocking of technologies related to these brainworms should be able to alleviate the problem.

However, considering the ruling structure of the insect swarm, there will definitely not be too many nest towers transformed into cerebral insects. To solve the problem of out-of-control, other methods are needed...

There is actually a ready-made homework for this: suppress the neural activity of the nest tower itself and deprive it of its overly clear self. Create symbionts to circulate the life force belonging to the nest tower - just like the relationship between elves and the tree of life.

Mota said goodbye to his mother tree, mounted his pony, and went to another breeding ground.

Here, another model of nest tower is being tested.

Compared to Mota's mother tree. The nest tower here is even more ferocious, with bone spurs all over the body, and the outer shell of the tower is extremely thick; in the center of the branches, there is a giant heart beating powerfully.

And most importantly, there are still numerous "fruits" growing on the treetops and branches.

With the arrival of Mota, under the infusion of unlimited life force, the huge fruits that bent the branches exploded with juice splashing everywhere.

I saw units that were half elf and half insect falling from high altitude.

Their thick carapace is apparently light enough for their size.

The newly born units vigorously used force among the tentacles, and finally fell to the ground dexterously.

However, the insect's legs slightly bent and it stood up again.

This is an auxiliary unit called the "Queen of the Nest" that was cultivated by Mota on the basis of wooden cockroaches.

But compared with the lumbered cockroach, its body has fewer insect parts and more elf parts, and its image is closer to that of the Queen of Insects. The wooden structure around it has almost disappeared, but within the carapace, there is still a clear green light.

Under Motta's orders.

The queens of the nest went to various open spaces, dug and shoveled quickly, and buried themselves underground. The green light rippling in the carapace is further stimulated, and the entire insect begins to "germinate" behind the nest, and quickly grows cotyledons to wrap around the entire body, quickly "budding".

Life force far exceeds psionic energy in catalyzing development.

Catalyzed by Mota's magic, the buds grew steadily.

After a while, a huge flesh-plant complex covered with carapace and rooted in the ground appeared on the spot.

The implant has a vitality-stimulating function similar to that of the parasitic heart, but the difference is that it has extraordinary movement ability and can attack quickly like a spine crawler. It can be regarded as a kind of "defense tower."

If the implant evolves further. After gaining the ability to produce a nest queen, it becomes a "wooden nest".

Wait for the further development of the wooden nest. You will reach the final stage - the nest tower.

As a result, the nest tower and the queen of the nest form a close symbiotic relationship.

A set of nest-nest tower system that is independent of the worker bee-hatchery system has also been formed.

at the same time.

A parasitic heart and a plant that can link a county; a wooden nest that can link a province; a nest tower that can link a country... The three-layer node unit coordinates with the back of the nest, from high to low, to form a complete Life force mobilization system.

Now, I want to take this system further. What is needed is large-scale application, long-term mutation and screening.

And, more essence.

Elven tree species other than wild elves and wood elves; ancient root trees in the hands of the Moon God; and other tree shepherd fragments from the high-level elven tribes...

Unicorn Melita Boni also said: "Eh-er..."

Mota nodded: "It's time to go to other elves to get some essence."

Yes, after "taking" solves the problem of the life force node, for the insects, the elven world has become a back garden of taking and asking for everything.

And just before Mota left, she suddenly received an instruction from the Hive Mind.

"Master?" Mota, who was still not used to spiritual communication, shouted loudly, "Yes, the nest tower has been completed...

Not very smooth, but basically in line with expectations...

Yes, I am planning to occupy several elven worlds.

wait a few more days? Cooperate with the airdrop pod to launch a surprise attack on Luna? OK, OK..."
