Chapter 1920

When Su Xiao returned to the vicinity of the Zerg Nest, the nest was still in the evolution stage. Judging by the look of it, it would not be able to complete the evolution for a while.

Whether the evolution succeeded or failed could only depend on Jila herself. This was a significant risk. Once Jila's evolution failed, Su Xiao's arrangements would come to nothing.

It was unrealistic to want to obtain a Zerg army without taking risks. Su Xiao had already thought of the risks in this regard; he had used the Seed of Withering before precisely to reduce the risk.

After waiting for a full three hours, the Zerg Nest, which had been in a contracted state, stretched out. Jila inside the nest emitted a mental wave; she needed energy.

The Mantis Shells near the Zerg Nest became busy, transporting the flesh and blood of the prey accumulated within three hours to the side of the nest. The Zerg Nest's devouring speed was significantly faster.

【Prompt: Your temporary summon · Zerg Mother has promoted to the second stage.】

【The Zerg Nest has evolved to the second stage, and its attached abilities have been improved.】

【The energy storage organization has been improved to the second stage, and the energy storage limit has been increased to 10,000 points.】

【The egg-laying organization has been improved to the second stage, capable of producing 150 Zerg eggs at once, and the egg-laying speed has increased by 12%.】

【The cultivation sac has been improved to the second stage, capable of cultivating 100 small and medium-sized Zerg units at once.】

【New genetic memory awakened: Surveillance Nest (Zerg building).】

【New genetic memory awakened: Hunting Teeth (Combat-type Zerg).】

【New genetic memory awakened: Spore Tank (Transport, protecting the Zerg Nest).】

All the abilities of the Zerg Nest were improved, and there was also an additional building and two types of Zerg troops.

Hunting Teeth were used for combat; their combat power was yet to be known. Egg-laying + cultivation required 60 points of biological energy, which was 20 points more expensive than Poison Stingers.

As for the Spore Tank, this thing was a logistics type, each requiring 120 points of biological energy.

Judging from the current situation, the ability of the second-stage Zerg Nest was not strong, but it was not weak either. It was enough to deal with some small tribes; at least it had the ability to protect itself.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had previously entered a third-stage Zerg Nest, and that nest had more than a dozen types of troops. If it wasn't that evolving to the third stage could unlock a large amount of genetic memory, then there must be other ways to improve Zerg troops.

"Come out."

Su Xiao stood in front of the Zerg Nest, trying to summon the homebody bug girl.

"..."

No sound came from the Zerg Nest. Now, Jila's loyalty had reached 88 points. She would not refuse most of Su Xiao's orders, except for letting her leave the Zerg Nest.

Su Xiao pulled Jila out of the Zerg Nest. Looking at the struggling Jila in his hand, Su Xiao felt that her body size had clearly grown. Comparing with human standards, the previous Jila belonged to a child's body size, and now her height was about the same as an elementary school student.

"Ask you a few questions."

As soon as Su Xiao let go, Jila ran to the entrance of the Zerg Nest, only sticking out her head, as if the outside world was very dangerous. In fact, this was the instinct of the mother body; the Zerg mother body would protect itself as much as possible and expand the Zerg Nest.

"What questions."

Jila poked her head out and looked around. This was the vigilance of a homebody toward the outside world.

"Where does the Zerg Nest store biological energy, or rather, where is the energy storage organization of the Zerg Nest?"

"This is it."

Jila's hand pressed on the Zerg Nest. Her fingers wrapped in the carapace pointed to the meridians on the Zerg Nest, meaning that biological energy was stored right in here.

"In other words, the energy storage organization is not a separate organ within the Zerg Nest, but is completely integrated with the Zerg Nest?"

"Mm."

Getting Jila's answer, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face.

"What would happen if you devoured other Zerg Nests?"

"Would be very happy."

Jila nodded seriously.

"No other side effects?"

"No, even if it's another mother body, my Zerg Nest can devour it, and I can also obtain genetic memory."

"Is that so."

Su Xiao's gaze turned to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had long understood Su Xiao's meaning.

"Damn, we can directly devour other Zerg Nests, why are we still catching beasts? Let's go rob directly. How can we get rich without robbing?"

Baha's eyes revealed a fierce light. It was almost vomiting from catching beasts.

"This involves the cost issue. If it's a second-stage Zerg Nest that has been developed for a long time, the Zerg troop strength is at least over one hundred. As for a third-stage Zerg Nest, the Zerg troop strength possessed might exceed ten thousand."

Su Xiao was considering which stage of Zerg Nest to attack. He ignored the fourth stage directly. There were three fourth-stage Zerg Nests in this world, and the Zerg troop strength of each fourth-stage Zerg Nest was over several hundred thousand, which he simply couldn't beat.

There were many third-stage Zerg Nests because evolving from the second stage to the third stage was not too difficult. As for evolving to the fourth stage, there should be very harsh requirements; otherwise, there wouldn't only be three fourth-stage Zerg Nests.

"Jila, what is this."

Su Xiao took out a severed insect leg from his storage space. This thing was about twenty centimeters long and as thick as an arm. The severed ends on both sides were uneven, and some places were very sharp. The color looked pitch black, but it revealed a red light under the reflection of the sun.

As soon as Su Xiao took out the black insect leg, Jila ran out from the Zerg Nest. Her two small hands grabbed the black insect leg and bit it.

Snap~

Jila's body stiffened. She slowly let go, squatted on the ground, and covered her mouth with her hands.

Su Xiao kicked Jila aside. Just now, Jila had entered a near-uncontrollable mental state.

"Baha, help her wake up her mind."

"Alright."

Baha spread its wings, rushed forward, and conducted "psychological counseling" on Jila.

A few minutes later, a somewhat dazed Jila lay on the ground.

"What is this?"

Su Xiao stood the black insect leg in front of Jila.

"This is..."

Jila was clearly somewhat confused. She pinched the edge of the insect leg with her fingers, seemingly wanting to break off a small piece, but with her strength, it was simply impossible.

With a snap, Su Xiao broke off a small piece from the insect leg and threw it to Jila. Who would have thought that Jila would stick her head out and actually swallow it in one gulp.

"This is a genetic fragment left by a fourth-stage combat Zerg."

Jila no longer longed for the black insect leg and lost interest completely.

"What is its function?"

Su Xiao looked at the insect leg in his hand while speaking. This thing should have been processed by the Sun Tribe.

"If it were complete, it could allow my Zerg Nest to cultivate this kind of combat Zerg, but it is very incomplete."

"You still have this function?"

"Mm."

Jila shrank back into the Zerg Nest. Su Xiao's face revealed a thoughtful look.

"Amu, you stay here to guard. Notify me at any time if there is a situation. Xiang Bubu, Baha, come with me."

Su Xiao walked toward the forest. He was preparing to attack other Zerg Nests to plunder biological energy; the current development speed was too slow.

After walking for about an hour, Su Xiao left the forest area and arrived at a piece of wasteland. The weeds here were at least half a meter high and grew densely.

This kind of terrain indicated that there was a Zerg Nest in the nearby area. Only when wild animals were killed off would the weeds grow wildly, and the Zerg were the biggest natural enemy of wild animals.

Su Xiao walked in the wasteland. A large number of insects jumped out or flew away around him. An insect that looked like a grasshopper even jumped onto Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's face.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was startled and shivered. Once, it teased a supernatural wasp, and the wasp also rushed onto its face and gave its nose a tail sting. It would never forget that painful memory.

Su Xiao stopped his steps. A Zerg Nest that was thirty meters high appeared in front. Judging from the scale, this was a second-stage Zerg Nest, and it was the kind that had been managed for a long time.

"Xiang Bubu, go determine the location of the mother body."

Su Xiao took out the Devouring Extinction from his storage space while speaking. A second-stage Zerg Nest simply couldn't withstand the bullets of the Devouring Extinction.
