Zerg in the crystal wall world

The fungus blanket wrapped layer after layer around the spider mother's body, but it had no intention of killing it.

This is a spider that can mass-produce Warcraft. It would be a waste to kill it like this.

The master intends to erase its ability to move, suppress its neural activity, and maximize its fertility. Turn it into a living "building" and continuously produce alienated combat units and even further modified spider units for the insect swarm.

Of course, the spider mother is an epic species, but she is not as epic as the dragon. Its race does not have the talent to become epic as an adult. It is one of the very few individuals in the race, so the Overlord does not intend to incorporate the "demon spider" species into the Zerg gene chain and turn it into a real Zerg unit.

Unless he captures another epic spider mother, the Overlord will not build a second "spider nest".

The battle has basically come to an end, and the other secondary spider mothers have been eliminated one by one; the surviving giant long-legged spiders have all been infected; the bottom of the shaft and the rock wall that extends upward for more than a hundred meters have been covered by a carpet of germs; There were no more springtails descending. They climbed to the entrances of the caves connected to the shafts, responsible for fending off and infecting returning spiders.

However, various insect swarm units are still busy.

They gathered the dead bodies from the battlefield and piled them all in a corner at the bottom of the shaft.

The corpses were mainly infected little spiders. Some of them fell to death from a high altitude after the cobweb spiral staircase collapsed. Some of the springtails were trampled to death when they were unable to dodge when they landed in the air. Most of them were spider mothers and several secondary spider mothers who were surrounded and struggling. When he was affected, he was crushed to death...

Although they were all accidental injuries, considering the density of small spiders in the spider lair, the number of corpses was quite large and could almost cover two floors in the shaft area.

Under the command of the master, the carpet did not immediately decompose or resurrect these corpses that still had a certain degree of biological activity. It was just covered hastily on the top of the body and kept getting thicker.

Then, I saw tangled hyphae rolling down from high places like earth dragons.

It eventually stopped next to the pile of corpses in the shaft, forming an irregular tumor the size of a van with a smooth surface.

This is the "skill" Agatha has mastered: incubating creep tumors.

The difference from normal creep nodules is that Agatha's psionic energy is involved in the entire process of tumor development - yes, creep tumors are essentially the elite units of creep, and they are also the only one in the insect swarm that does not An elite unit that can be produced by catalyzing materials that naturally contain void energy.

Like dragon dogs, creep tumors also have the ability to consume psionic energy to enhance the activity of surrounding creeps.

In addition, the mycelium that just rolled like an earth dragon brought a lot of nutrients.

Almost visible to the naked eye, the fungus carpet on the pile of corpses began to thicken, and began to differentiate into bast and bone armor. With the blessing of nether energy, the thickness is almost hatchery level.

At the same time, the familiar psionic energy reaction began to gradually increase, and the pile of corpses began to increase and expand like dough.

In the end, a bunch of super-large multi-legged monsters with seven-level soul strength and a size comparable to a spider mother were formed.

But it was bound at birth. The carapace and thick skin derived from the mushroom carpet are fixed on its body like iron shackles.

With the blessing of the carpet tumor, it was completely suppressed.

Since then, the battle has completely ended.

Hundreds of worker bees slowly floated down from the top of the shaft, and under the command of the king insect, they scattered and went to various places.

Most of the worker bees floated to the rock wall of the shaft and began to dig and corrode to widen the space. They also dug out planks to facilitate passage up and down.

A worker bee floated to the center of the shaft underground, mutated into a sac and began to develop towards the hatchery. From now on, the focus of the swarm's development will shift underground.

A worker bee floated to the position of the spider mother and hatched a splitting pool with the spider mother as the center to facilitate the transformation of the spider mother.

Another worker bee floated above the many-legged monster. It began to develop in the direction of "extraction room".

Yes, the Lord looked at the declining organic matter reserves and finally extended his claws to these monsters who did not respect energy conservation.

In this different world, there are no vents that continuously emit high-energy gas, but there are high-quality "mineral deposits" that can continuously produce flesh and blood. There is no need to waste the gene chain space occupied by the extraction room.

In fact, for the insect swarm, minerals with higher energy content are not necessarily high-quality resources.

Just look at the floating sacs of the worker bees. The zerg organs can easily create energy fields that interfere with gravity. It is not difficult to create magnetic confinement fields. Nuclear fusion is not difficult for the zerg. Deep in the Zerg gene chain, there is even the black technology of cold nuclear fusion and energy release at the cellular level.

Therefore, the insect swarm has no shortage of energy, and the only things that restrict the expansion of the insect swarm are material raw materials and basic production capacity.

For the swarm, the best resources are flesh, flesh, vegetation and other organic matter, which contain all the main elements needed for the zerg to build their bodies and can be directly converted into zerg units. High-energy gas is also included in this list. Its main component is hydrocarbons, which are almost equivalent to organic matter.

The second is crystal mineral. This magical mineral contains almost all common elements, and they are all in a relatively active state and are easy to extract. The zerg can absorb the main biological elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen from it to build organisms; humans and protoss can refine metal elements such as iron, cobalt, and titanium from it to build the shell of the spacecraft.

Finally, we start from the inorganic environment, extracting required elements from carbon dioxide, rock formations, mineral deposits, water and other substances to synthesize organic matter. Raw materials come from a wide range of sources, and everything the insect swarm needs can be found almost wherever there are stones. But it is the least efficient, and requires a large area of ​​bacteria carpet as a basic factory for synthesizing organic matter - the insect swarm can indeed chew on stones to grow meat, but if you want to maintain high-speed expansion by chewing on stones, forget it.

The organic matter produced by just such a "twisted nodule" composed of a soul-twisted monster, a mushroom carpet, and an extraction room can be compared to the basic production capacity of a mushroom carpet as large as ten dragon-lion collars. This is also the reason why the Overlord can focus its development in a large maze with a relatively narrow space.

It's a pity that polypods can only be transformed from the corpses of living creatures with souls in specific areas. They cannot reproduce independently and have no such thing as independent genes. "Twisted Nodules" can only be established through battlefield killing or captive killing, and cannot be directly hatched by worker bees.

In any case, with the addition of such an organic matter input, the evolution chamber can finally be freely created (*｀▽*).

No matter what, the transformation of the Spider Mother will have to wait until the construction of the underground splitting pool.

The master's consciousness returned to the body next to the entrance of the cave, and turned to look at the throne. It had just been built, but the venomophage had lost its status as the "core of the carpet" due to the establishment of the underground hatchery.

It just so happens that you can use these few days to test an idea.

The Overlord reached out and flicked the venomophage reservoir.

The heart tree is transformed from the most active tree in an area full of vitality.

If you insert a large number of tree genes into a Zerg building and make its carapace become lignified...can you give birth to a "heart tree" that is essentially a Zerg building?
