After calling the player

=================

After saying goodbye to his mother, Eric prepared to leave with his followers.

His fourth follower, Goliath, had already folded his arms and leaned against the gate for a while. When he saw them approaching, he returned to his normal standing posture. He didn't speak, just smiled.

Eric couldn't understand Goliath's self-confidence that he was sure he wouldn't refuse, so he gave him an annoyed look, and then announced in front of everyone: "I've already surveyed the location of the base, yes A very good cave, about 280 kilometers away from here. Aaron will take Vincent later, and I will take Goliath. Let's hurry up and if everything goes well, we will be there before ten o'clock in the evening .”

Goliath's smile froze on his face, and he couldn't help persuading: "This distance is a bit far. In case of any serious danger, it is not good to ask the original tribe for help. After the establishment of the new tribe, the first 90 days of asylum It is best to make good use of it during the period. Generally, the temporary settlement is more suitable to be established at a position about 50-60 kilometers away from the original hive. Exploration outside the territory is convenient for finding the official territory after 90 days. Don't you think about it anymore?"

If other people said so, Eric might have explained his reasons to them, but Goliath couldn't get such a good attitude from him. Eric answered him very simply and rudely: "I would like to , do you have any dissatisfaction?"

Goliath could only shake his head with a wry smile, and the other three insects had no opinion on Eric's decision.

Eric really wanted to lift Goliath's collar and carry him to fly, but it was not safe and not conducive to flying on the road. He could only reluctantly adopt the method of princess hugging, and Goliath was very cooperative. , and took the initiative to hug Eric's neck, making Eric roll his eyes again.

Aaron followed suit and wanted to treat Vincent in the same way, but was hit hard on the head by the angry Vincent, feeling extremely wronged.

Vincent let Aaron fly, and he held Aaron's ankle with one hand. He tried it out and it felt fine. If he was tired, he could switch hands. In case of any danger along the way, he could summon his weapon in time. So he nodded, indicating that the group he and Aaron were also ready.

Although Clara didn't need to take anyone with her, it was not easy for her to be covered with bags that couldn't fit into the space.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Eric took them to the cave he had seen before.

The journey was smooth, most of the time it was downwind, which saved a lot of physical strength, but encountered a sneak attacking bird monster halfway, and it took a little effort to kill it, and finally arrived at Eric's favorite place. When we entered the cave, it was exactly ten past ten.

The four Zergs are all fine. Although they have gone through a long-distance flight and a small battle, they are all in good spirits, and they don't seem to be seriously exhausted.

Goliath, who hadn't done anything, was exhausted, and after being put down by Eric, he slumped on the ground regardless of his image, refusing to move a step.

Eric shook his head and didn't care about him anymore. He couldn't help much anyway, and they still had a lot of things to do.

This cave was told to him by a mantis tribe that Eric had helped before.

The original owner of the cave was a pair of rock bear mother and son. When the cub reached the age of leaving the nest, he was unwilling to live independently, so the mother bear left him and left by herself. The cub had no choice but to hunt by himself, but never came back. , The cave was so empty.

Because the location is very hidden, it has not been discovered by others. Only Mr. Mantis, who has dealt with the rock bear mother and son, knows where it is.

Eric inspected it before and was very satisfied.

This cave is on the hillside of a hill, about 100 meters above the ground.

The cave has two mouths, one is on a steep mountain wall, cleverly covered by several hanging vines, unless it is a species that is particularly good at climbing or has the ability to fly, there is no way to enter it through this mouth.

The other mouth is blocked by several huge rocks, and it is impossible to find it with the eyes alone.

Because of the air circulation, the whole cave is very dry and ventilated, which is a very favorite environment for their Sendri crystal bees.

The area of ​​the cave is very large, even if the original tribe is moved here, it can live there, and the ground and mountain walls have been rammed and transformed by rock bears with earth magic, forming a boxy shape, which is comfortable to look at, and it is also very comfortable. There are several compartments, which is very convenient for them to build buildings by themselves.

It is very close to the water source. There is a spring on the mountain, forming a trickle, and there is a huge lake at the foot of the mountain.

Even better, there is a large ghost forest about two kilometers away from here.

The ghost tree will bloom a kind of black flower, which is highly poisonous, and it will also cause other creatures to have strong hallucinations. After fighting wits and courage with the air for a long time, they will die of exhaustion and turn into extra nourishment for the ghost tree.

But the poison of the ghost tree is useless to them, the Sendri crystal bees. They especially like the nectar of the ghost tree, and the honey produced by the worker bees is especially delicious.

About five kilometers away from here, there is also a flower fairy living with a large sea of ​​flowers.

The magic of the flower fairy is very powerful. These small people with a height of less than [-] centimeters have an average magister, and the average race is no match at all.

They are very xenophobic, and any creature that enters their territory will be driven away.

However, they welcome the bee-like bugs very much.

The low-level bee-like Zerg can help pollinate the flowers they raise. They also like sweet honey and are willing to exchange other things with the bee-like Zerg.

Eric had done business with them a few times before, had a good impression of them, and thought they would be good neighbors.

This cave is already very close to the southern edge of Selina's territory, and it is also very convenient for exploring the outside world and looking for a new territory after 90 days.

Eric sent Vincent out to inspect the surroundings, drive away some destructive creatures, and leave pheromone marks by the way.

Even if it's a temporary place to stay, you need to announce your existence to the surroundings.

As the only worker bee, Clara was tasked with building a house out of beeswax.

There is no rush for anything else, but the incubator needs to be built quickly, which is related to the incubation of low- and middle-level Zerg.

And the room of the four of them is also the same. After all, no one has the habit of sleeping directly in the cave, and it is not good to rest at night like this.

Aaron couldn't do other things. He helped Clara pass things, and he was able to lift heavy objects. Eric also sent him to help.

Eric's own task is the most special. He needs to build the core of the entire hive-the four most important basic pools of the social Zerg.

The four basic pools refer to energy pools, biological pools, breeding pools and transformation pools.

The energy pool is the base for the other three pools.All the things thrown into the energy pool will be decomposed and devoured, and converted into the most basic energy, which will be used by the other three pools.

It is best to throw some energy-rich objects such as magic core ores. In addition, ordinary food will also bring some energy. For example, the energy contained in the honey they brew is not low. Food If there is excess, you can also choose to pour honey into it.

Because no matter what you throw into the energy pool, it will be decomposed, and at most it will have no energy, so some places that don't pay attention to it will directly use the energy pool as a trash can.

Eric can't stand this kind of behavior. He is a relatively traditional worm and always thinks that the four basic pools are very sacred places.

Wouldn't it be nice to raise a bunch of slimes if you want a trash can?Their original tribe did the same.

The biological pool is a place to accommodate gene fragments. Throwing a biological corpse, its gene fragments can be extracted and used in the breeding pool and transformation pool to evolve the entire race.

Extracting gene fragments is very time-consuming. Even if the creatures of this race are continuously invested to accelerate, it often takes decades to hundreds of years to complete.This process also consumes a lot of energy.

However, the benefits of doing so are also obvious. It can learn from each other's strengths, and it can also strengthen the fighting and survivability of the entire race in all aspects.

Take their tribe as an example. In addition to their own abilities, their Sendri crystal bee also fused gene fragments of three creatures.

One is the bee venom from the overlord bee.There is nothing to say about this, it just makes their bee stingers poisonous, which greatly enhances their attack ability.

One is from the spatial ability of the hoarding rats, each of them has their own space.

The space size of middle and low-level Zerg is generally twice its own volume, which doubles the efficiency of worker bees collecting honey several times. After configuring the ratio of the number of insects collecting honey to make honey, as long as the honey source is sufficient, their tribe will not lack food.

The size of the high-level and king-level spaces is determined by mental strength. Eric's space is about [-] cubic meters, which is very convenient for storing things.

It seems that their entire race has also been infected with hoarding rats’ habit of hoarding things. High-level and Wang Jie don’t need to make room for nectar, they just put all kinds of things they have collected, regardless of whether they are useful or not, what a mess Everything is there, and it will be uncomfortable if it does not fill the entire space.

There is also a wind magic from the wind bird.

In fact, the original intention of the queen bee was to increase the flying speed of their family. After all, their Sendri crystal bee is famous among the bee insect race for its high defense and good endurance, but its flying speed is relatively slow.

However, after the successful gene extraction, I found out that the Warcraft Wind Birds fly fast because they have a smooth body, well-developed chest muscles and light bones, and it has nothing to do with whether they know wind magic or not.

After they fused the genes of the wind bird, they just added an attack method. At most, they could use wind magic to make something similar to a protective cover when the wind was headed, so as to minimize the impact, but it had no effect on increasing the flying speed.

The Breeding Pool is a place to breed middle and low-level Zerg.

After Kokaya's great evolution, the bee queen will only give birth to high-level or king-level people who have the same human form as herself, and those mid- and low-level Zerg that still maintain their insect form are all born in batches from the breeding pool.

However, only insect eggs are born in the breeding pool, and a special hatching room is needed to hatch them.

The transformation pool is where Wang Jie uses the gene pool in the biological pool to transform himself and other high-level Zerg. Generally, he will only use it when he successfully extracts new genes from the biological pool. It is usually useless, but it must be there.

Eric found the deepest and most empty space in the entire cave, dug a small hole shallowly, took a deep breath, cut his right wrist, let the blood drip into the small hole, and started the four basic pools. construction.
