Zerg in the crystal wall world

Chapter 7 Root Monster

The fungus carpet is bulging and broken.

Dark yellow light spots were surrounded by flying grass clippings and leaves, and countless roots snaked out from the ground and twisted with each other. After a while, a half-human-sized monster with large claws, made of roots and vines and yellow-green light, formed like an enlarged squirrel.

There were crackling sounds one after another. There were actually more than a dozen root and vine monsters of different sizes and shapes bursting out from under the fungus carpet.

Most of them have the appearance of beasts and birds, but because they have no fur and feathers, they have no ability to fly or glide.

Amidst the crunching sounds of the joints and vine roots of the body squeezing against each other, these monsters began to move quickly, as if they had a deep hatred, waving their claws, beaks and teeth to attack the fungus crazily.

However, there is no concept of "completeness" in an undifferentiated bacterial carpet.

The torn and crushed fungus carpet tissue was instead firmly adsorbed in the gaps between the vine roots, corroding the plant tissue and splitting wildly.

A yellow-green glow appeared on the root and vine monster again along with grass clippings and dead leaves.

The wounds caused by corrosion healed quickly, and the roots and vines that became strong again crushed the carpet tissue attached to the gaps. But it cannot stop them from continuing to divide.

"They are units built with nether energy and have a certain immunity to viruses..." Agatha said, the upper carapace opened, and a strong acid spine shot out gently.

Agatha didn't use too much force, the spine just nailed the chest of a root vine monster without piercing it. The acid on the spine corroded most of it in an instant, and a strange smell began to spread around.

The yellow-green fluorescence no longer appeared on the root vine monster's body, and the roots and vines that formed it quickly dried up and dimmed.

"The psionic reaction disappeared, it is dead." Agatha said competently.

Obviously this monster cannot fully heal itself even if most of its body is damaged.

Agatha did not continue firing the spines.

It’s just that the creeping frequency of the bacteria carpet is obviously much faster. Under the master's perception, a large number of drainage structures quickly differentiated underneath the fungus blanket, transporting a steady stream of nutrients to the front line.

The growth rate of the bacteria carpet around those root monsters immediately increased.

The Lord looked at the little monster that was entangled in the carpet and struggling to move, and suddenly realized that he still had a power in his hands.

Point your finger.

Countless ants, beetles, and centipedes drilled out of the small holes reserved for the fungus carpet and gathered together to form a long, slender black stream.

In a short while, the monster's body was covered with roots and vines.

Under the link of thoughts, the master felt that he had become one of the many bugs, lying on the branches that made up the monster, opening his jaws enhanced by the bug genes, and click-the wood fibers broke in response.

The root monster began to twist wildly. Because of the position in which it stood, the bug was entangled in the rubbing roots and vines and was crushed to pieces.

Only then did the Lord come to his senses. The muscles on his face twitched subconsciously, but at this time there was no big jaw around his mouth.

It's...an amazing feeling.

The master's movements attracted the attention of the root vine monster.

They began to move their bodies towards the location of the Master and Agatha. But because at this time the fungus carpet almost filled all the gaps on the root monster, it almost lost its ability to move.

Wait for it to come to the Lord tremblingly.

With just a casual kick, he knocked it to the ground. The contact area with the ground increased, and the germ blanket close to Agatha was already relatively thick. With layers of binding, the vine monster was completely unable to get up.

When the surrounding bacteria blanket flows over and completely wraps it up, its self-healing speed can no longer keep up with the corrosion speed of the bacteria blanket, and it will be completely digested in a short time.

At this time, new root monsters were still being produced, but they did not cause any waves. After the first dozen monsters were wiped out, as the fungus carpet split and thickened, it was difficult for the new monsters to break through the initial blockade, and they were wrapped in the fungus carpet when they were born.

Most of the root and vine fragments were digested and absorbed by the fungus carpet, while a small number were collected and sent to her own hands under Agatha's control.

Agatha held the vine fragment with two sharp claws and looked at it carefully. From time to time, her claws loosened, causing it to fall to the ground and she had to bend down to pick it up.

It certainly wasn't because Agatha couldn't hold things. She subconsciously used her mind to hold up the fragment of root vine, but because the level of psionic energy did not meet the standard of affecting real things, it fell to the ground.

"Have you found anything?" the master asked.

"Yes, Master." Agatha replied, "The DNA of these plant tissues is consistent with the roots of some trees below the fungus carpet."

This is also the most amazing place. Analyzed from the DNA level, these plants should have no ability to move at all, but they can form monsters that move freely.

"Tree roots?" The ruler thought about it, "The roots of those trees that were just 'eaten' by the fungus carpet?"

"Yes, the tree roots that can give birth to psionic units still have a certain degree of activity."

The underground roots of trees in the rainforest usually have the same volume as the trunks and crowns above ground. In order to ensure that the ground will not collapse downward, the fungus blanket needs to split and fill the holes while corroding the plant roots, so the corrosion rate will naturally be slower.

"What is this? The resentful spirits of trees?"

"It may also be a special phenomenon of psionic energy." Agatha put forward another point of view, "Plants themselves do not have psionic energy. Perhaps it is the special mechanism caused by their death that gave birth to such strange individuals."

"Night..." The Lord suddenly spoke, looking up at the sky. The full moon was gradually moving to the highest point in the sky. "Is it related to the moon?"

"Satellites do have a certain impact on psionic energy, but the tidal gravity here is extremely weak..." Agatha paused, and her mood became serious again.

"what happened?"

"They're starting to coalesce."

"What?" The master contacted Agatha's senses.

Sure enough, under the fungus carpet, the individual yellow-green energy vortexes that gave birth to monsters gradually disappeared. In contrast, a huge and abnormal vortex was gradually solidifying.

"The fourth level of psionic energy fluctuations, the fifth level of psionic energy fluctuations, are still improving..." Agatha put down her hands on her chest, made a fighting posture, and warned the master, "If the target unit's psionic energy exceeds level eight, , please evacuate immediately.”

The Juggernaut has the strongest armor that the Zerg can achieve, but unfortunately due to its weak psionic energy, the shield cannot be activated and can only rely on the physical protection of its flexible carapace. But for advanced psionic users, the toughness and strength of physical armor are meaningless.

For example, the protoss' psionic energy beam blade can cut through the armor of a battlecruiser without any difference from cutting tofu. To be precise, except for psionic energy and force fields, no material can stop its cutting, and the same is true for the Lord's armor.

Even with the help of a focuser, condensing a psionic blade requires level 7 psionic energy. But senior level 8 psychics can still burst out with similar attacks even without any equipment support.

"Those roots!" the master suddenly said, "their activity is abnormal."

From Agatha's perspective, the biological activity of all the tree stumps buried deep in the ground at this time is even greater than that of those plants that are still intact, and they are vaguely connected.

Agatha immediately mobilized the bacterial carpet and began to quickly clean up all the remaining roots underground.

"The main thing is to block the contact." The master ordered.

After all, the plant root system is huge and has a complex network, and even the engulfing speed of the fungus carpet cannot quickly swallow it up. But it is much simpler to isolate the contact parts between the root systems.

After a while, the root system that was almost connected underground was divided into blocks by fungal tissue.

The largest energy vortex no longer expanded, but it did not disappear either.

The birth of the root and vine monster gradually came to an end. With the flying grass and leaves, the roots and vines grew rapidly and twisted with each other. Gradually, a root and vine monster that was more than three meters tall and nearly four meters tall, with a tall body, slender waist, and slender limbs, emerged. Appear in the center of the vortex.
