Chapter 2613: Couldn't Help But Laugh Out Loud
Jila didn't have too many abilities, at least compared to other Tier 5 bosses, she had very few abilities.
But this didn't mean Jila was weak. She didn't have any attack abilities, or rather, she simply didn't need this kind of ability.
Not to mention anything else, the 149-point true intelligence attribute meant that Jila was an outlier among Tier 5 boss-level creatures. You know, when he first entered the Zerg Star, Su Xiao's intelligence attribute was 109 points.
What surprised Su Xiao was that Jila had already evolved to Tier 5, which was the limit in that Tier 5 world. It was that Tier 5 world that restricted Jila, and after entering the Primitive Continent, Jila's restrictions were broken, and she could evolve to Tier 7 at most.
Just in terms of Jila's Zerg category, she was the second one that could evolve to Tier 5. As for Tier 6, there was none for the time being.
"Establish the Zerg nest first."
"Hmm."
Jila's hand reached into the black biological tissue behind her, dug for a while, and took out an egg the size of a chicken egg. The scene she did next made Bubu Wang and Baha dumbfounded.
I saw Jila's small hand stretched straight, her nails became sharp, she first grabbed a large piece of black biological tissue, and began to dig a hole in the ground.
After digging the hole, she put the biological tissue she pulled off and the egg into it, buried it with soil, and even stomped on it a few times.
"Now... are Zergs all planted? Does the era change so fast?"
Baha looked at Jila, then at the small dirt mound on the ground.
"Bulu is a special individual. It only needs a quiet environment to hatch."
Just as Jila's voice fell, a brownish-red hand claw reached out from the soil. Not long after, a low-tier Zerg · Mantis Armor crawled out from the soil, and even shook the mud off its head.
Mantis Armor was the recognized lowest-tier Zerg, but this Mantis Armor was a bit different. Its shell was full of scars and bite marks, clearly not a Zerg just born. More importantly, it actually had a name, called Bulu.
The origin of Mantis Armor · Bulu was very interesting. When the Demon Beasts formed a scale on the Zerg Star, the lowest-tier dozen Mantis Armors in the group were sent to explore the surrounding terrain, moving forward in one direction constantly.
A dozen Mantis Armors soon died until only one was left, and that was Bulu. Its mission was only one: to explore forward constantly for the whole group until it died. This was the most terrifying thing about Zergs.
Bulu encountered many dangers and had been on the verge of death hundreds of times, but it survived until the entire Zerg Star was controlled by Jila.
Bulu, whose life force was about to be exhausted, returned to the Zerg nest and lay on the bacteria blanket next to the Zerg nest, waiting for itself to die and be decomposed by the bacteria blanket, turning into biological energy. This was its mission.
Jila didn't let Bulu die, but let it enter the evolution room of the Zerg nest to hatch, and gave it a name, Bulu. Today, Bulu opened its eyes again in a Tier 7 world.
Bulu crawled on the ground, waiting for Jila's order. It seemed to be able to feel that there were several auras nearby that were very close to it.
"Does this count as... a miracle?"
Su Xiao looked at the Mantis Armor crawling on the ground. He naturally remembered this Mantis Armor. Other Mantis Armors all died, only this Mantis Armor had been living, helping him explore a large piece of unknown area.
What really surprised Su Xiao was not Bulu's luck, but that it actually had some self-awareness. If it were a high-tier Zerg, this would be a disaster, but Bulu was a basic Zerg with almost no combat power. Once encountering a crisis sufficient to destroy the group, Bulu would be the hope for a comeback.
"Establish the Zerg nest."
Jila's mental instruction was transmitted into Bulu's brain. It started running immediately, and the hind legs that ran a bit pigeon-toed looked a bit funny.
Bulu ran to the top of a mountain peak and began to patrol the surroundings. Not long after, it rushed to the mountainside of a mountain peak and began to dig with sharp front claws.
"Can this Mantis Armor build a Zerg nest in the mountain?"
Baha looked at it with amazement. The Zerg nest was relatively fragile in the early stage of establishment, and Jila's previous Tier 5 Zerg nest was still on the Zerg Star. Summoning Jila herself required a not-small price. As for the Tier 5 Zerg nest, that kind of behemoth, the price of summoning it was too high to bear.
Summoning Jila herself was enough. As long as there was enough biological energy, Zerg nests and combat Zergs would all be there. She herself was a Zerg legion.
"Amu, Baha, hunt the super-powered creatures nearby. It will be very busy recently."
"Alright."
"Moo."
"Wouldn't it be faster to let the Demon Beasts hunt? I brought Life Stones."
Zhila, huddled within the biological tissue, poked her head out and spoke. No sooner had she finished speaking than 50 Life Stones were squeezed out from within the biological tissue. These were unique products of the Zerg; each Life Stone could be converted into 10,000 points of biological energy.
Zhila hadn't come alone; she had also brought 50 Life Stones, clearly much more reliable than before.
The efficiency of the Mantis Armor Bu Lu was astonishing. In no time, it had hollowed out a section of the mountain. After biting off a Life Stone, it used a small piece of biological tissue brought by Zhila to build the Zerg Nest.
In less than 5 minutes, a First-Tier Zerg Nest was established within the mountain. The incubation tissue inside the nest began to work, and after cultivating 100 Mantis Armor eggs, these eggs rolled into the incubation sac.
One minute later, one Mantis Armor after another crawled out of the incubation sac, and they began to excavate the mountain.
As soon as the Zerg Nest was established, Zhila entered it. The nest was still very small, but in a short while, it began to evolve toward the Second Tier.
With the foundation laid, the evolution of the Zerg Nest was only a matter of time. 1 hour and 26 minutes later, the entire mountain had been hollowed out, and the Zerg Nest inside had evolved to the Fourth Tier, standing a full 90 meters tall.
The number of Mantis Armors surged, reaching 12,750. After completing their mission, they would be converted back into biological energy by the creep, with the exception of Bu Lu.
When the Zerg Nest evolved to the Fourth Tier, more than ten thousand Mantis Armors began to destroy the exterior of the mountain, leveling the entire mountain to the ground, and the Zerg Nest appeared in Su Xiao's line of sight.
The work of the Mantis Armors did not end there; they began to excavate the surrounding mountains, and in a short while, they had created an artificial valley with a diameter of 2,000 meters.
Because the chosen location was good, if one looked from afar, one could not see the Zerg Nest located within the valley at all, unless looking down from directly above.
When more than ten thousand Mantis Armors lay on the creep around the Zerg Nest and were rapidly absorbed by it, the Zerg Nest at the center of the creep was already 120 meters high, impressively becoming a behemoth.
From establishing the Zerg Nest to the formation of the Fifth-Tier Zerg Nest, the entire process took 1 hour and 53 minutes, consuming 420,000 points of biological energy. From nothing to something, it was just that rapid.
Su Xiao looked at the Zerg Nest in front of him. Cultivating Zerg forces carried significant risks in the early stages, but the rewards were also great. He would not go to find the Survivor Alliance within the next three days.
【Zerg Nest: Fifth Tier (Total of seven tiers; this tier is determined based on the power system of this world).】
【Biological Energy Reserves: 81,600/2,700,000 points.】
【Organs within the Zerg Nest: Energy Storage Tissue (Fifth Tier), Incubation Tissue (Fifth Tier), Incubation Sac (Fifth Tier), Energy Conversion Tissue (Fifth Tier), Evolution Chamber (Fifth Tier), Creep (Fifth Tier), Sensor Tower (Fifth Tier), Killing Sentry Tower (Fifth Tier)...】
【Basic Zerg Gene Bank: Mantis Armor, Hunting Tooth, Spore Tank, Titan, Self-Destruct Spore...】
【Demon Zerg Gene Bank: Demon Beast (Genetically evolved three times), Leviathan (Genetically evolved once · Super-giant Zerg).】
【Evolution Conditions: 2,700,000 points of biological energy + High-activity cells + Demon Power.】
Clearly, Zhila had not given up on the Demon Beasts, letting them evolve three times. Within the same tier, the comprehensive combat power of the Demon Beasts crushed other Zerg. The tier of Demon Power was very high; it was the power of a great race in the Void.
Su Xiao's next plan was very simple: first, incubate tens of thousands of Demon Beasts to increase the speed of biological energy acquisition, then let Zhila evolve to the Sixth Tier, and the Zerg Nest would also evolve to the Sixth Tier.
By then, the Zerg Nest would likely gestate new Demon Zerg genes. The next steps were obvious: crazily mass-produce troops, then provoke a war. The priority target would be the Tiger Bee faction, or rather, even if he didn't provoke a war, the Tiger Bee faction would take the initiative to attack. They were somewhat similar to the Zerg, and the Tiger Bee faction would never tolerate the existence of the Zerg, as it threatened them.
After obtaining a large amount of biological energy through war, let the Zerg Nest evolve to the Seventh Tier, then accumulate. Once accumulation was complete, it would enter the final stage.
If the Survivor Alliance's backer, the "Diya Tribe," was too strong, it didn't matter. Su Xiao not only possessed a Zerg army, but he also had the Five-Star Title 【War Lord】. When Demon-type Zerg attacked, they would deal additional true damage, and the effect of the 【War Lord】's Soul-Burning Power also dealt true damage. With the two superimposed, it would at least break through 100 points of true damage. Not only that, but there was also the Blood-Bathed Battle effect.
Blood-Bathed Battle: Each time an enemy is attacked, there is a certain chance to absorb the enemy's vitality to restore one's own lost health.
Once the Zerg had the Blood-Bathed Battle effect, it was a different concept from soldier-type units. Even if the Zerg could only move a little, they would bite at the enemy's throat.
Morale increased by 60 points, all true attributes +10 (no luck attribute), Blood-Bathed Battle (passive), Soul-Burning Power (passive); these were the four buff effects of the War Lord. The morale increase was useless as the Zerg had no morale, but after the Demon Zerg were buffed by the other three effects, their combat power would be extremely astonishing.
On the west side of the continent, in the area around the Diya Tribe, within the Fluorescent Forest.
Several contractors were moving at a speed that was not considered fast, among whom one had his brows tightly locked, as if pondering something.
"Plague Insect, is there still no news from the Tiger Bee Lord, Taimesha? With your current status, you should be second only to the Bee Queen."
Naji Jia spoke in a flat tone. Along the way, he had been waiting for Su Xiao to intercept and kill him. At this moment, they were almost at the largest gathering place of the Diya Tribe, yet Su Xiao still hadn't appeared.
"No news. What is certain is that Kuku Lin Bai Ye did not go to find the Tiger Bee Lord, but instead became hostile to the Tiger Bee faction."
Plague Insect couldn't help but laugh out loud. He had originally been very worried that Su Xiao would join the Tiger Bee faction to develop, but now the other party had become hostile to the Tiger Bee faction.
"Hostile?"
Naji Jia suddenly stopped his footsteps, and the few people beside him showed confusion.
"Don't worry, both the Tiger Bee faction and the Diya Tribe have our people. The two largest forces in this world will not accept him. He has nothing else to do but hide in a remote area."
Plague Insect tossed a beetle into his mouth and chewed it vigorously. Thinking of the plan that was already more than 60% complete, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. The opportunity to soar into the sky was right before his eyes.
"I hope so. Bai Ye, don't call me despicable. Human-sea tactics are the 'weakest' but also the most unsolvable tactics."
Naji Jia stepped forward, the faint worry in his heart diluted by something about to be completed.
In Naji Jia's view, the fact that things had developed to this point was already very interesting. His enemy had used human-sea tactics to kill the strongest Seventh-Tier rule-breaker, Fei Shi, and soon, he would use the same method to surround and kill the other party. The world was just that wonderful.
