Zerg in the crystal wall world

Soul contract, a particularly mysterious force between souls at a distance.

It can transfer information and energy between two souls. The tightest contract can even share the power to distort things, making the two originally independent souls seem to be one.

Although both the transmission rate and distance are far inferior to psionic energy, it is still a high-level skill in the soul realm.

At this stage, the swarm only understands some of the characteristics of the contract and has no idea how to establish a soul connection.

At this time, the insect swarm could not even fully understand soul promotion.

From a certain point of view, the promotion experiment of replicating Eral was successful.

Under the catalysis of the Infection Abyss, the soul strength of ordinary elves at the seventh level has indeed increased to the ninth level. Although it is not as good as the saints who have naturally advanced, it has indeed improved dramatically.

Several of the samples had their mottos deliberately replaced, replacing "Guarding Mother Tree" with "Guarding Lord", and they were successfully advanced. There were even a few monsters with similar soul strength mixed into them, and they all succeeded together.

But after promotion, it can only last for fifteen minutes to half an hour, and the stability of the soul of the promoted person will drop rapidly until it collapses.

Infected Abyss tried to fine-tune the mind and will, but it only extended the duration of newly promoted units by a few minutes.

There should be factors that the insect swarm has not considered...

If the power of a promoted unit can only be maintained for a few dozen minutes, its strategic value will be greatly reduced.

Just like Overlord will not send the insect queen to the front line, rather than treating the elves as disposable units and letting them self-destruct to sacrifice on the front line. It is more valuable to make them into elf symbionts to increase the production efficiency of insect swarm buildings and improve the battlefield survival rate of high-level insect units.

After all, an elf who is skilled in using the power of nature needs hundreds of years of growth and study. Compared with the development speed of the insect swarm, it is a proper non-renewable resource.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with wasting a little bit as an assault force when necessary. Most of the time, it's better to save a little.

However... some rangers who specialize in ranger routes can take advantage of it.

"Can the infected complete this promotion ceremony independently?" the master asked the mastermind of the infected abyss.

The mastermind gave a positive reply: "The operation can be carried out..."

In the final analysis, soul promotion is just a special kind of hypnosis that requires the intervention of psionic energy, which can temporarily catalyze the battlefield frontline.

Let the Infection Abyss continue testing, and try to increase the duration to more than two hours. In fifteen minutes, even a surprise battle cannot last.

"Master, what should I do with the bodies left behind?" Agatha asked.

The insect swarm has its own recycling mechanism for the corpses of units killed in battle. For low-level units, it is usually directly decomposed into organic matter by the carpet. High-level units will collect as many corpses as possible and extract the essence to speed up the production of similar units - an operation similar to feeding cattle bone meal to supplement calcium.

But the situation of these elves is relatively special.

Although all the souls in it have disappeared, the body is intact. It only needs a slight modification on the nervous system to be resurrected and become an alienated combat body.

"Just recycle it as usual." The master said directly. The greatest value of the elves is the ability to manipulate the power of nature, but this is based on the power of the soul.

Instead of spending time to modify the muscles and nervous system of this corpse and make it into an alienated combat body, it is better to directly extract the "life force affinity essence" to accelerate the development of other units' parasitic hearts and highly active accessory hearts.

And just when the worker bees arrived and dragged the corpse away, the master suddenly stopped them: "Wait a minute."

The Lord turned his attention to the spider mother's nest and the soul-specific evolution chamber nearby.

He pointed at an elf corpse and said, "Give her soul again."

Giving souls to insect swarm units is a plan that has been thoroughly researched by the soul-specific evolution chamber for a long time.

After the master's words fell, the body was immediately sent to the vicinity of the spider mother's lair and quickly wrapped in a cocoon.

After most of the elf's body is melted into slurry, the essence from the spider mother is injected into the cocoon and guides the slurry to quickly reorganize.

Just like the original dragon dog, from a soulless springtail to a dragonborn springtail with a dragonborn soul.

In just a few dozen minutes, the elf transformed from a corpse into a spider elf with a spider soul.

Of course, it's definitely not that easy under normal circumstances. This is because the spider mother is an epic species that prefers reproduction, and its bloodline is corrosive. The elves have also undergone a high degree of spider transformation under the alienation ability of the insect swarm, which solves the problem of soul and body incompatibility.

The moment the spider elf emerged from the cocoon, the Lord's eyes also lit up.

I have always misunderstood the position of my soul. The swarm does not need the soul to replace the brain as the thinking organ, it can just use it as a "plug-in"!

"Re-prepare for soul promotion, I have a guess that needs to be verified!"

…………

Caveman collar.

Next to the crystal-clad dragon that still grew up with the tunnel worms and the external brain, the dragon dog was wrapped in a carpet of fungus and was in an energy-saving slumber.

It is waiting for the completion of the super-large splitting pool used to transform the demon dragon, so as to obtain the essence of the crystal-clad demon dragon as soon as possible.

The dragon dog itself can also extract DNA from the flesh and blood it eats, but taking the essence packaged in the split pool directly will put the least pressure on the genetic chain.

And following the psionic signal coming from the Hive Mind, the dragon dog opened its eyes.

Red nether energy suddenly appeared from around the dragon dog's body.

brush--

Dragon Dog appeared in Spider Cave with a confused look on his face.

Unwilling to wait, the Overlord directly jumped it to his side - since the blood moon period, after making hundreds of continuous cross-world single-body jumps, the Overlord's high-precision jumping skills are particularly skilled.

An infected person squirmed here, entangled the dragon dog with the tentacles around its mouth, pulled it and sent it into the abyss of infection, and was wrapped in the infection sac.

In the infection sac, the adrenaline in the dragon dog's blood was reduced for the first time.

Dragon Dog rarely entered a calm state.

Then, the infection abyss induced psionic energy and began to interfere with the dragon dog's mind.

"Choose a target...

Create anxiety…

Increase the sense of crisis...

Shaping Paranoid Personality Disorder…

Changing the brain environment…

Stimulate soul mutation...

Guidance burst——"

As in the previous experiment, the soul promotion process that worked on the elves had the same effect on the dragon dog.

The dragon dog's soul strength has rapidly increased from the previous fifth level.

Sixth level, seventh level, and finally, it could pass the eighth level.

The power of the soul transcended reality, the dragon dog became an epic species, and its physical fitness began to improve in all aspects.

At the same time, the Overlord can also feel from the Hive Mind that the dragon dog's ability to carry psionic energy has also increased.

Although it is not to the point where it can carry all the psionic energy of the master.

But it has also reached the ninth level steadily.

The spiritual explosion also made the dragon dog's desire to attack reach its peak at this time.

"twitter--"

With a scream, the dragon dog simply burst out of the infection sac.

The Lord can clearly sense that the dragon dog is eager to tear something apart at this time.

The master has been prepared.

Not far from the Infected Abyss, a small group of more than a dozen cockroaches suddenly dug out from the ground...
