Chapter 2615

125 Demon Beasts and 2 Spore Tanks went out to hunt. Su Xiao sat in a wooden shed near the Zerg Nest. This was built by Amu. At a position less than a meter from the ground, there was a bed made of spliced logs. Whether lying on it for a nap or sitting on it to enjoy the cool, it was quite good.

The Zerg Nest had stabilized, and the next issue was development. The priority was, of course, to cultivate Demon Beasts. However, Demon Beasts required a lot of biological energy. The biological energy required for more than ten thousand Demon Beasts was enough to upgrade the tier of the Mother Nest.

Cultivating a large number of Demon Beasts from the very beginning was a very unwise decision. Counting today, Su Xiao only had three days and four nights. Before that, the Zerg had to develop, at least to have combat power to contend with the "Tiger Bee Lord" or the "Diya Tribe."

Su Xiao decided to first use the biological energy hunted by the 125 Demon Beasts to cultivate about 2,000 Demon Beasts and let these Demon Beasts go hunting. Given the situation in the surrounding area, 2,000 Demon Beasts were enough for hunting.

After the Demon Beasts reached 2,000, he would start accumulating biological energy and then choose a Zerg with medium combat power and low biological energy requirements to cultivate in large numbers.

Su Xiao was not afraid that this type of Zerg was weak. As long as the quantity was sufficient, under the blessing of 【War Lord】, they would at least have the qualifications to go to war with the Tiger Bee faction.

As long as the war started, it would enter a period of rapid development. The creep of the Fifth-Tier Mother Nest was quite formidable. After his own Zerg died, as long as the corpses were transported back, they would be converted into biological energy by the creep, which could be said to be not wasted at all.

His own casualties also meant that the enemy would have casualties, and the corpses of the Tiger Bee faction were a large amount of biological energy. Their evolution method was very similar to the Zerg, but they were not born specifically for battle.

Su Xiao checked the currently cultivable Zerg.

Mantis Armor (First-Tier Basic Zerg), cultivation requires 0.8 points of biological energy, quantity: 1.

Worker Scorpion (Second-Tier Basic Zerg), cultivation requires 1 point of biological energy, quantity: 0.

Poison Sting (Third-Tier Combat Zerg), cultivation requires 2 points of biological energy, quantity: 0.

Spore Tank (Third-Tier Basic Zerg), cultivation requires 8 points of biological energy, quantity: 2.

Demon Beast (Fifth-Tier Combat Zerg), cultivation requires 50 points of biological energy, quantity: 125.

Titan (Fifth-Tier Combat Zerg), cultivation requires 80 points of biological energy, quantity: 0.

Leviathan (Fifth-Tier Combat Zerg), cultivation requires 10,000 points of biological energy, quantity: 0.

There were quite a few Zerg that could be cultivated, most of which were obtained by devouring other Zerg Nests, but not all combat Zerg were worth cultivating in large numbers.

Among the many combat Zerg, Su Xiao felt that Poison Sting was quite good. This was a long-range combat Zerg. Each Poison Sting could fire 12–15 "Bone Armor Spikes" and carried poison. More importantly, the cultivation price of Poison Sting was low, requiring only 2 points of biological energy each.

To trigger the maximum effect of 【War Lord】, the number of his own units needed to reach 100,000. Forcibly squeezing out 100,000 Demon Beasts would take forever, but creating over 100,000 Poison Stings could be done without taking too long.

Relying on 【War Lord】 to buff the combat power of Poison Stings and then going to war with the Tiger Bee Lord was the fastest way to develop.

Only when biological energy was sufficient to promote the Zerg Nest would Su Xiao consider cultivating a large number of Demon Beasts. At that time, the strength of the Demon Beasts would meet Su Xiao's psychological expectations.

As for the Leviathan, at 10,000 points of biological energy each, although expensive, this artillery piece had to be cultivated before attacking the Tiger Bee faction for siege purposes.

The formation Su Xiao deployed didn't even have a single melee combat Zerg. Either he would shoot the enemy to pieces, or he would be wiped out by the enemy rushing over. High risk, high reward. Time was too tight, and there was no opportunity for slow development.

When the sunset on the horizon shone into the valley, 30 Demon Beasts escorted 1 Spore Tank back. When the Spore Tank passed through the narrow strip of sky, it was directly squeezed and deformed. Its body was filled with the flesh and blood of hunted transcendent creatures.

The Spore Tank arrived beside the Zerg Nest, and a huge gap cracked open on the Zerg Nest. The Spore Tank crawled into it, and a moment later, the shriveled Spore Tank was squeezed out of the Zerg Nest.

After devouring a large amount of transcendent creature flesh and blood, the biological energy stored in the Zerg Nest surged, reaching 21,530/570,000 points.

A single hunt yielded over 20,000 points of biological energy. According to this progress, it seemed that the tier of the Zerg Nest could be upgraded tomorrow night, but the fact was not so. The biological energy obtained from hunting in the early stage would be a lot, but after hunting all the transcendent creatures in the surrounding area, the speed of obtaining biological energy would slow down, and transcendent creatures would also flee to the surroundings.

Continue to cultivate Demon Beasts and Spore Tanks. A few minutes later, 430 Demon Beasts and 3 Spore Tanks were successfully cultivated.

It was only a few hours, and Su Xiao already had a Fifth-Tier Zerg Nest and 555 Demon Beasts, but this development was still not fast enough. When the Demon Beasts reached 2,000, they would enter a medium-speed development stage. Only after going to war with the Tiger Bee faction would it be a high-speed development stage.

"Woof~"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked listlessly. At this time, he was lying near the wooden shed, his dog face looking somewhat hopeless. The reason was that he had eaten the flesh and blood of various transcendent creatures, and one could see a clear bulge around his abdomen.

As long as it was a transcendent creature hunted by a Demon Beast, a small piece of flesh would be cut off after the kill, packed in a refrigerator box on the back of a Demon Beast, and then brought back for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to eat.

Even if Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang only ate a small piece of each type of transcendent creature's flesh, he was so full that his eyes rolled back. Because the "Higher Creature" ability had been activated to the maximum, Xiang Bubu was a bit dizzy. This guy was now getting stronger even while lying down.

Tiger Bee faction territory, inside a beehive dozens of meters high.

"Queen, someone ruined my plan. It is my incompetence, but he had been lurking in the mud swamp for a long time, I really am..."

Ice Jue knelt on one knee. At this time, a faint smell of blood could be smelled on him. Just a few hours ago, he was almost purged by Naji Jia, but he survived. The price was signing a contract that was almost a deed of sale.

Not only that, Ashiva, who had been traveling with Ice Jue, was nowhere to be seen. In fact, she was dead, ambushed by her most trusted friend, Ice Jue, suppressed by Ice Jue's domain, and finally died miserably at the hands of Plague Insect.

"So you're saying you didn't get the Black Scale?"

A figure sitting in the darkness spoke. She crossed her legs, her feet wrapped in gold-black carapaces that looked like boots, with spikes on the heels. This was a Bee Queen, one of the two confidants under the Tiger Bee Lord, Taimesha—Bee Queen Kara.

"Of course not, I... Your subordinate fought to the death to seize a Black Scale and offer it to Lord Kara."

Ice Jue's identity substitution speed was very fast. Words like "subordinate" and "offer" came out of his mouth easily. It was hard to understand why the proud technique-type powerhouse Ashiva would become friends with him.

"Well done. This is your reward."

Bee Queen Kara casually threw out a pottery jar containing 90 grams of Nature's Gift. She clearly knew that it was best for humans to drink 100 grams of Nature's Gift at one time. She was prepared to let the other party complete one more thing for the remaining 10 grams.

Ice Jue caught the pottery jar and lowered his head to express his gratitude, but the anger that flashed in his eyes represented that his mood at the moment was not good.

"You just said someone ruined your plan. Who is it?"

Bee Queen Kara spoke somewhat absent-mindedly. She did not appreciate the human kneeling in front of her, but she did not hate him either. It was just utilization.

"Kuku Lin Bai Ye. It was he who ruined my plan. Originally, I could have obtained 5 Black Scales, but he snatched away 4."

"Understood. Take 1,000 Tiger-Armored Bees and bring his corpse back."

As soon as Bee Queen Kara's voice fell, one monster after another walked out of the surrounding passages. They had six pairs of carapace legs, a full-body carapace, and their mandibles were covered with barbs. This creature almost had no characteristics of the Tiger-Eye Bee, except for the poison stinger on their carapace tail.

In the passage on the side, Plague Insect witnessed all this. After a sneer, he muttered in a low voice: "Sycophants don't die well."
