Zerg in the crystal wall world

"Dig more traps." The master immediately ordered. The effect of trapping and creep is better than expected.

"I will arrange it." Agatha responded. The carpet itself can also dig holes. Although it is not as good as any ground unit of Zerg, it is still much more efficient than infected rats.

The mere cavity created by corroding the roots of a tree is enough to act as a trap.

"Dig emergency tunnels to facilitate evacuation if necessary."

"Your will."

"Our fighting power..." The Lord wanted to say something more, but suddenly found that the bound root monster was in something wrong.

Its self-healing ability has dropped off a cliff, and its level of psionic energy has also continued to decline.

The power finally ran out?

Do not……

The Lord looked up to the sky.

The moon has left its highest position.

"Weaken the corrosiveness of the creep," the master ordered, "ensure it survives until dawn."

He wants to determine the relationship between the monster and the moon...

…………

Just as the master guessed, the monster's self-healing power gradually weakened as the moonlight faded.

"Tomorrow, leave a part of the tree roots in a suitable place to experiment with the relationship between monsters and moon phases."

Thinking that the birth of the root vine monster seemed to be related to the dead trees, the Lord ordered: "Let the fungus carpet swallow the trees together with the roots, and try to stop swallowing the trees when night comes..."

The Lord's command stopped.

No, it's difficult to do.

Creep is not an independent conscious unit and cannot handle overly complex instructions.

It might be able to tell the difference between animals and plants, but asking it to specifically tell the difference between herbs and trees, and then stop devouring it at a scheduled time... This is a bit too complicated and requires Agatha's manual operation.

However, as the area covered by the carpet expands, too many trees are covered at the same time, and it will eventually be overwhelmed.

"If there are enough bacteria carpet nodules, it is not impossible." Agatha suggested.

That is to say, the bacteria carpet differentiates into nodules of nervous tissue and secretory tissue, which serve as nodes for controlling the bacteria carpet.

"No." The Lord shook his head after thinking, "This is not a long-term solution after all. In the final analysis, our troops are still insufficient."

If this were a world with only beasts, infected units and Agatha's protection would be enough to run rampant. But if this is a world where monsters are spawned at night, these are not enough.

"Is there any way to increase combat units?"

Agatha raised her hands and touched them with sharp claws. After thinking for a while, she replied: "Alienated combat body."

A stage reached after the host is deeply infected by the zerg virus.

At that time, a series of zerg organs will appear on the body of the infected unit. For example, extra limbs for attack, hormone glands to maintain attack mode, compression bags for self-destruction...

It is difficult for infected units to reach this stage with only super-evolved viruses and creeps, which requires the debugging of infected persons, scorpions, phages or other infected units.

"We have to get the venomophage out first." The master said to himself.

Virophages are not part of the hatchery system.

As a building unit that assists virus infection, it itself will be produced after the bacterial carpet is covered to a certain extent. However, the virophages differentiated from the bacterial carpet are far inferior to the phages after the alienation of worker bees in terms of architectural strength and functionality. body.

"In about a week, you will be able to meet the minimum standards for establishing a venomophage." Agatha added, "But Lord, you also have the ability to create alienated combat bodies."

"Me?" The Lord was startled, and then he suddenly became enlightened.

Creep can provide nutrients to the infected units and force them to continue their lives. It can modify the genes of the zerg units. In theory, its abilities are more advanced than those of the infected, venomophages and the like.

With this thought in mind, the Lord stretched out his hand, and a squirrel came out of a cave not far away and crawled onto his hand.

But don’t wait for him to link up yet.

A dazzling green light suddenly erupted not far away.

The Lord and Agatha were on alert at the same time - the psionic energy level of the root vine monster had increased!

The corroded root and vine monster broke through all the restraints and stood up again.

But it did not launch an attack immediately.

Instead, he stared blankly at the eastern sky. A sunrise has risen from the horizon, and the first ray of sunlight cuts through the night sky.

The yellow-green glow around the root monster quickly transformed into a delicate emerald green after being exposed to sunlight.

The majestic vitality burst out from the monster's body.

When the monster's feet landed on the ground, they immediately spread out and turned into thick roots, piercing the thick fungus carpet and digging deeply into the soil. Countless buds sprouted from the monster's head and shoulders, becoming luxuriant as they continued to expand.

The green color that hits you seems to have a strange magical power. Agatha, the Lord, and the squirrel in his hand were all attracted by this thriving scene.

When he came back to his senses, a huge tree over two meters thick and composed of countless thick roots and vines appeared in front of the Lord.

At the lower end of the tree trunk, there is a herringbone-shaped cavity more than one meter wide. A tree root mass the size of a human head, squirming like a heart, hangs in the center of the tree cavity.

The green glow continues to emerge with the rhythm of the tree roots.

Wherever the light reaches, the biological activity of the bacteria carpet is greatly improved.

"Perceived level four psionic energy." Agatha's warning came from her ears.

"I feel it too." The Lord nodded. In addition to being rejuvenated, this tree is constantly exuding a peaceful and natural mood, making people want to give up everything and water, fertilize, pollinate, loosen the soil, and then embrace nature in a sea of ​​green. Run free…

So, in this forest, as long as you cut down the trees, a villain will pop out and scratch you at night. If he can't beat you, he will whisper in your ear the next day and control your mind...

This series of mechanisms really gives people chills behind their backs.

"Is it also a psionic body?" The Lord pointed at the tree and looked at Agatha.

"No."

The body of the root vine monster is yellow-green light, and the vine roots are just carriers. Now it's the other way around, the tree is the main body, and the ability similar to psychic broadcasting is additional power.

"Infect it." The master said directly. It doesn't matter if there is a tree hole. If it rains, there is a place to hide.

Although it can be sensed by Agatha's psionic energy receptors, the Master knows that the extraordinary power possessed by the root monster and this tree is not psionic energy.

Although the Lord has been exposed to psionic energy for a short time, he also knows that psionic energy is a power that tends to the mind and space, and it does not increase the self-healing speed or biological activity that much. Even among cockroaches, only a very small number of elite individuals have the self-healing ability of the Root Monster.

But it is still an extraordinary power, and the nether energy rating is probably in line.

In the case of direct connection to the carpet, the fourth level of psionic energy cannot prevent the invasion of the zerg virus from the cellular level. The same goes for this green supernatural power. It is not difficult to infect this tree. The real pressure is on the Overlord - the possessors of psionic energy will resist the control of the Hive Mind.

Therefore, after the master faintly felt that the opponent's body was under his control, he immediately entered the "path" and tried to pull him into the Hive Mind.

Then, a scene that shocked the Lord extremely happened.

The strange tree joined the worm's nest mind extremely smoothly, and its smoothness was like a pair of adulterers and adulterers who frequently have affairs. I just left the door open, and the other party simply got under the bed.

And then the next moment.

In Agatha's psionic senses, the level of this strange-looking tree skyrocketed, breaking through the fifth level and only falling short of the sixth level. The green light emitted by the root vines in the tree hole enveloped hundreds of meters in radius.

Overlord seemed to hear a ding: Creep efficiency increased by 20%, and Zerg unit recovery speed increased by 40%.

What's happening here?
