Chapter 2622: Warned by the Void Tree

After the hive evolved to the sixth stage, Su Xiao received a large number of prompts.

【Prompt: The hive has evolved to the sixth stage, and its attached abilities have been improved.】

【Energy storage tissue has been improved to the sixth stage, and the energy storage limit has been increased to 950,000 points.】

【Incubation tissue has been improved to the sixth stage...】

【Demon Beasts have undergone their fourth genetic evolution, and their comprehensive attributes have been significantly improved.】

【Leviathans have undergone their second genetic evolution, their size has increased, the power of bio-missiles has increased, and the number of bio-missiles has increased.】

【New genetic memory awakened: Carapace Reinforcement (all Zerg with carapaces receive this effect bonus).】

【New genetic memory awakened: Stamina Gain (all Zerg units, real stamina attribute increased by 1-5 points).】

Originally, Su Xiao was prepared to counterattack the Tiger Bee faction after the hive evolved to the sixth stage. But judging from this battle, a sixth-stage hive couldn't do that.

If only fighting Qiyuezhe, fifth-stage Zerg were enough. But against the two major powers of this world, sixth-stage Zerg were not enough. This was a seventh-stage high-risk world. The previous battle was like walking on a tightrope. The base hive was shattered by one-third. Once the incubation tissues and the like were destroyed, the Tiger Bee faction would win.

Su Xiao checked the conditions for promoting to a seventh-stage hive. There were four in total: 950,000 points of biological energy, active energy conduction material, Overlord Soul, and 45 pure soul stones.

Biological energy was not lacking. As for the Overlord Soul, he used Overlord Essence instead. The characteristics of the two should be very similar, or rather, they were just called differently.

As for pure soul stones, this was the Zerg's name for soul crystals, and it was the somewhat impure kind. That kind of soul crystal could not be notarized by the Reincarnation Paradise. Su Xiao prepared to replace them with 45 soul crystals (complete).

The only problem was the "active energy conduction material." For this requirement, Su Xiao prepared to replace it with 300 grams of Black Maple tree trunk. However, the rank of the Black Maple tree trunk was much higher than the "active energy conduction material." This was a very wasteful behavior. For Su Xiao, it wasn't. Having a Black Maple tree, he could really do whatever he wanted.

Before evolving the seventh-stage hive, Su Xiao had to first cultivate sixth-stage Demon Beasts, needing at least 30,000 to form a reliable defensive force.

The hive began to cultivate sixth-stage Demon Beasts. The three incubation tissues and cultivation sacs worked together. It didn't take long for 30,000 Demon Beasts to be cultivated.

Su Xiao didn't look at what changes the sixth-stage Demon Beasts had. Now was a time of racing against time, and not a second could be wasted.

Zhila, who had just woken up, hugged a pile of soul crystals and 300 grams of Black Maple tree trunk, plus an Overlord Essence, and continued to sleep.

The evolution began. The hive closed again and entered the evolution stage.

Su Xiao sat on the pile of corpses and looked at his Tiger Bee faction reputation. At this time, it had reached -357,200/0 (Blood Feud). Judging from the current situation, reaching a million reputation was not a dream, but it was negative.

Negative reputation actually wasn't without benefits. Some Tiger Bee clansmen who came to assassinate just now, whose will wasn't firm enough, would be very nervous when they saw Su Xiao, and a small number even fled before the battle.

【Prompt: Hive is evolving. Due to high-rank items (Black Maple tree trunk), evolution success rate increased by 52.7%, and evolution time reduced by 65%.】

【Evolution success rate has reached 83.71%.】

【Time required: 49 minutes.】

Because of the Black Maple tree trunk, the time required to evolve to a seventh-stage hive was greatly reduced.

Compared to this good news, the crisis was right in front of him. The Tiger Bee clan's next attack would definitely be an all-out attack with the strength of the entire clan, sparing no cost to raze the hive to the ground.

Su Xiao felt that the reason Taimesha let the Tiger Bee clan retreat temporarily must be that she was trying to find a way to clear the creep. Without the creep, his side would surely lose. There was no suspense about this, unless the hive could evolve to the seventh stage.

A trace of fluctuation appeared a few meters away. Su Xiao drew Zhan Long Shan.

Tiger Bee faction territory, main hive.

In a place in the hive that resembled a great hall, Taimesha sat on the head seat in a high place, and on her sides were the two Bee Queens.

Taimesha's gold-black outer armor was like a slim-fitting armor. She only revealed the lower half of her face; the upper half was blocked by an inverted triangular thin armor, and the surface of the thin armor was covered with patterns.

Just seeing Taimesha's chin and cheeks on both sides would make people curious: what kind of prosperous beauty was hidden under that thin armor?

"The enemy is very powerful."

Taimesha spoke. Carol and the other Bee Queen, Penelope, both lowered their heads.

"They are the same as us, evolving toward higher life forms. They cannot coexist; there can only be war."

"Your will is our will."

Carol and Penelope knelt on one knee. Just at this moment, a Tiger Bee clansman who was very short and had a large head ran over with big strides.

"Fi-fi-find, found..."

The big-headed Tiger Bee clansman was very special; he was actually stuttering.

"You found a way to restrain that kind of green carpet?!"

Carol was a bit excited. Having been on the battlefield in person, she knew better than anyone else present how difficult the Zerg were to deal with.

"Ye-ye-yes..."

"Assemble, set off!"

Carol's eyes were very bright. As long as she could curb the creep, she had many ways to destroy the Zerg.

"Ye-yes, sorry, haven't figured it out yet, that-that..."

"!"

A crack sound came from Carol's neck. Her fingertips extended, and she walked quickly toward the big-headed Tiger Bee clansman.

"Carol, calm down, he is the smartest among us."

Bee Queen Penelope hurriedly pulled Carol to avoid the furious Carol from tearing the big-headed Tiger Bee clansman alive.

The big-headed Tiger Bee clansman talked for a long time, and even Taimesha was a bit displeased, before the big-headed Tiger Bee clansman made it clear: according to his research, the activity of the creep had decreased.

"Lost its activity."

Taimesha's sharp fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair. In just a few seconds, she thought of a possibility.

"Their main body is evolving. All Tiger Bee clansmen, assemble."

Taimesha stood up. This time, she would be on the battlefield in person. With her there, the combat power of all Tiger Bee clansmen would be improved by a not-small margin.

Just as Taimesha was walking out of the hive, a sense of crisis struck from above. It was an Apollo thrown down from the sky by Baja.

Taimesha suddenly disappeared, and when she appeared again, she was already above the hive. She grabbed the falling Apollo with one hand.

Thud!

As soon as the solar flames spread, they were compressed by a translucent film of light, gathered together, and finally shrunk to the size of a walnut, held in Taimesha's palm.

With a crack, a shattering sound came from Taimesha's hand, and slow blue smoke drifted on the outer armor of her arm.

Several thousand meters high in the sky, Baja's eyes widened. Even if it was an ordinary Apollo, being crushed by hand like this really made it a bit stunned.

Taimesha landed on top of the hive and looked up slightly at the high sky.

"Damn it!"

Baja spread its wings. Suddenly, a feeling of the world spinning appeared. When the scene before its eyes became clear, it had already appeared in front of Taimesha, and below was the hive.

"Mistake... made."

Baja's claws raised, and 【Sun's Fury: Apollo】 appeared in its claws. It looked coldly at Taimesha. The moment it detonated Apollo, the strong kinetic energy released would twist space, so it couldn't travel through space at all.

And as for the 【Blessing Badge】 used for life-saving, Xiang Bubu had just retreated to two kilometers away. Baja didn't prepare to use this thing itself. Its own mistake wouldn't let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang also be caught in this.

However, Baja was certain of one thing: at such a close distance, if it detonated 【Sun's Fury: Apollo】 instantly, it would definitely shatter Taimesha's head.

"Taimesha, come on, see if I dare to crush Apollo."

"..."

Taimesha glanced at the hive under her feet. She could die, but the main hive could not have any trouble.

"Life and death are determined by fate, ga ga ga ga."

Baja laughed and flew away. When it flew out a few dozen meters, it immediately traveled through space continuously. Although Baja wasn't afraid of death, it didn't want to die just like that.

Watching Baja disappear, Taimesha leaped down from the hive and stood on the back of a giant beast.

Within the territory of the Tiger Bee faction, one Tiger Bee clansman after another rushed out of each hive, gathering into one force from all directions.

Carol stood behind Taimesha, looking at the scene below. Her hands were trembling. The last time there was such a scene was 12 years ago when they went to war with the Dia tribe.

In the base hive, Su Xiao put away the communicator. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had just sent back news that the Tiger Bee clan had assembled. It was impossible to judge how many there were, and Baja was almost left there.

Looking at the remaining time for evolution, there were 12 minutes and 36 seconds left. The dramatic scene of evolving to a seventh-stage hive wouldn't appear at the last moment. As long as there was no extremely unlucky hive evolution failure, Su Xiao's preparations were complete.

A roaring sound came from outside the hive. It was the surrounding Tiger Bee clansmen attacking, hitting the defense line that the Demon Beasts had been guarding.

Time passed second by second. 12 minutes passed quickly, and over a dozen prompts appeared.

【Prompt: The hive has evolved to the seventh stage.】

【Warning (Void Tree): The tracker's behavior is highly likely to derive destructive results in this world. The hunter needs to comply with the following regulations.】

【1. In this world, the number of Zerg must not exceed 2 million (the limit of the ecosystem).】

【2. Must not drive the Zerg to find or compete for the "World Core" of this world.】

【3. Zerg buildings must not be located in the trial area.】

【4. Must not cause more than 5,000 Zerg to enter the trial area by any means (the limit for large Zerg is 3-15). This behavior will cause the next batch of trial-takers to be unable to conduct survival trials.】

After a bunch of warning prompts, Su Xiao finally saw the prompt about the seventh-stage hive.

【Demon Beasts have completed their fifth genetic evolution, and their comprehensive attributes have been significantly improved! Skill +1 learned.】

【New genetic memory awakened: Demon Flame Dragon (Seventh-stage combat Zerg unit, super-giant, cultivation requires 236,000 points of biological energy).】 ===== CHAPTER 2623 =====
