Chapter 3483: Simple and Unadorned Opening

The giant trees reached the sky. Although the trees here were not dense, the space between the trees was filled with various dense plants. These plants were of different colors, and fruitful fruits hung between the withered vines. Nearby, several bag monkeys squatted on the tree forks. Due to the climate, they had no hair on their bodies, and their skin showed a dark blue color in the oiliness.

This place was the southernmost side of the continent, as far as possible from the north where the Empire's 3rd Fleet was stationed.

Su Xiao chose here as the initial development place, not only to avoid being wiped out by the Imperial forces in the sprouting stage, but also because the south and west of the continent were the territory of the Zerg. Developing here would not attract too much attention.

The land area of Pan Duola Star completely exploded the ocean. This is a planet where the ocean area is less than 17%, but the freshwater resources are rich to the extreme. It is precisely because of this that it has created the large vegetation coverage area of this place, as well as the diversity of life.

Amu was in the front with a big machete to open the way, Su Xiao was behind, then Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Bernie squatting on Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's head, and Baja was behind.

Bernie didn't go traveling this time, the reason is that in the early stage of development, it can also do a lot of things. After developing to a certain extent, Bernie will start traveling.

Don't think that this is an easy trip for Bernie. It is treasure hunting, and it is also opening the map. The recording device it wears will periodically transmit data to Su Xiao through the team channel.

In this way, even if Su Xiao does nothing, the map of the surrounding area in his terminal will be gradually constructed, and the range will be larger and larger.

To develop the Zerg now, understanding who your neighbors are, as well as how many Zerg and indigenous tribes are in the south and west, is very important, and the north and east occupied by the Empire also need a certain understanding.

Hum~

A hornet the size of a sparrow flew past Su Xiao. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's gaze became dignified. As they continued to move forward, a drunken floral fragrance with a bit of alcohol drifted over.

"Baja."

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, Baja flew into the high altitude to scout. After a full-speed march all the way, although they had arrived in the south, where to choose as the initial development location still needed deep consideration.

From the several laboratories before, Su Xiao, besides obtaining the "Zerg mother embryo," also learned a lot of information about the Zergs in this world.

The Zergs in this world also use the mother as the core to establish a Zerg Nest, and then use the organs on the Zerg Nest to cultivate various Zerg units, and finally develop with the mother as the center. The individual consciousness of Zerg units is very low, and more is submission to the overall consciousness, just like an ant colony.

The Zerg units in this world still have a little individual consciousness, while the Zerg units of Jila's group, except for hero-level individuals, other Zerg individuals have no individual consciousness. The only signal they accept from the outside is to obey the highest consciousness, work or slaughter, and finally sleep forever on the bacteria blanket, returning to the mother nest as biological energy.

This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is a pure war weapon. The disadvantage is that once there is no control of the highest consciousness, it will fall into a chaotic and indiscriminate attack state.

In other aspects, the information left by the laboratories is not much, but the hierarchy of the Zerg mother is very detailed. In this world, the Zerg mother can be divided into four levels: Juvenile, Queen, Mother Emperor, and Master.

Juvenile stage needs no more words. The standard of Queen level is that a Zerg Nest higher than 40 meters has been established, and there is a Zerg life mineral vein under the Zerg Nest. The number of worker-type Zerg individuals exceeds 5000, and the number of combat-type Zerg individuals exceeds 2000.

Mother Emperor level is that the scale of the Zerg Nest and life mineral veins is huge, and it has defensive and offensive Zerg buildings. The number of worker-type Zerg individuals exceeds 100,000, and the number of combat-type Zerg exceeds 40,000.

As for the Master level, at the current stage, there is no Master-level Zerg mother in this world.

A simple metaphor is that the Juvenile mother can maintain a Zerg Nest of Tier 1~3, the Queen-level mother can establish a Zerg Nest that can reach Tier 3~7, and the Mother Emperor level can establish a Tier 8 Zerg Nest. The Zerg Nest tier corresponds to the world tier.

The Zerg group in this world, worker-type units will definitely be more than combat-type units, the reason is that the Zergs in this world are all relying on mining life ore to develop. They absorb the life energy in the life ore through the Zerg Nest, thereby strengthening the group size.

To put it directly, the Zergs in this world tend to 'eat vegetarian'. Conversely, Jila is purely carnivorous.

Is it that the Zergs in this world are willing to eat vegetarian? Not really. According to the research on the Empire side, this world seems to have a huge consciousness. If large-scale species destruction is carried out, or if there is an attempt to destroy this planet, it will anger that consciousness. By then, all living things on this planet will be driven by that consciousness to clear out the invaders.

This is also the reason why the Empire has not used radioactive weapons. It is not that they don't want to, but they dare not. If they really anger that huge consciousness, and that consciousness drives transcendent creatures to besiege, it is actually nothing. The Empire is not afraid of this kind of siege. The Imperial forces are worried that that consciousness can also command microorganisms.

Microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, and fungi. None of the three are easy to mess with, especially after these three have transcendent characteristics. They can become terrifying. Steel warships that can sail in space sometimes really can't withstand the decomposition of some transcendent fungi.

After learning these, Su Xiao decided to find a way to let Jila also master the mining ability of the Zergs in this world, instead of developing by capturing transcendent creatures in large areas like on Jichong Star, which is clearly not feasible here.

Not long after, Baja dived from the sky and landed on Amu's shoulder, saying: "Boss, there is a U-shaped valley over there, I think that place is good."

"..."

Su Xiao jumped several times to the high tree fork and looked in the direction Baja pointed. A continuous gray-white mountain range came into view. Over there, there was indeed a U-shaped valley. The overall span of the valley was about a hundred meters wide, with natural dangers behind it, which was a dead end, and an entrance in front, which could be considered a semi-closed terrain.

This is indeed a good place to establish a Zerg Nest. When the scale of the Zerg Nest is large enough and there is no need to hide, you can also flatten this mountain range and make enough space to establish various Zerg buildings.

As for whether the life ore underground considered by the native Zergs is sufficient, this point is not important to Su Xiao in the early stage. He has start-up capital.

Previously on Saier Star, Su Xiao used the Sun Fortress to mine a large amount of active ore. The characteristics of that thing are very close to the life ore of this world. Su Xiao even suspected that life ore is one of the high-level outputs of the Tier 8 native world, not unique to Saier Star and Pan Duola Star.

The active ore mined on Saier Star, Su Xiao didn't bring it out, but he brought out 785 【Active Crystals】. This thing is high-purity active ore.

With this start-up capital, early development is not a problem. After developing enough, you can grab the life mineral vein and then migrate there.

Making up his mind, Su Xiao jumped between the trees. As the vegetation gradually became sparse, the broken rocks on the ground became the main color. After walking into the U-shaped valley, the wind slowed down and the heat dissipated.

Stopping in the center of the valley, Su Xiao took out the cold storage device. After opening it, he fished out the "Zerg mother embryo" soaked in the glass column and took out a piece of 【Active Crystal】.

Sensing the thick life force in the 【Active Crystal】, the "Zerg mother embryo" became restless. Several tentacles spread out from the translucent liquid layer on it and began to absorb the life energy in the 【Active Crystal】.

The embryo grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not long after, it grew into a collection of beetles and scorpions. This is the Zerg mother in this world. Its body length is about half a meter, its six armor feet are short, and the body part has armor, but the latter part exposes a fat abdomen.

【Prompt: You have successfully cultivated a Zerg mother (Juvenile stage), you have successfully established an independent faction...】

The prompt just appeared, and the crystal layer wrapped around Su Xiao's hand. His hand pierced into the Zerg mother's brain shell, and the Green Steel Shadow energy erupted, causing secondary internal destruction.

【You need to name your Zerg...】

【Prompt: Detected that the Zerg mother you cultivated has died.】

【The force you established has perished.】

【Announcement (Tree of the Void): The force "Unnamed" has perished.】

Su Xiao didn't expect that the Zerg forces established by contractors or hunters would have announcements after perishing.

Su Xiao naturally wouldn't cultivate the Zergs in this world. The war ability is not strong enough. He entered this world by exchanging 【Beginning of Nightmare】 this time. The difficulty of the main mission will be very high. If the main mission is just to get the world core of this world, Su Xiao would secretly breathe a sigh of relief. He can determine that the main mission will definitely have contradictions with the Company or Empire forces in the middle and late stages.

Moreover, with the domineering degree of the Imperial forces, after Su Xiao grows to a certain extent, the Empire will take the initiative to attack. That side is here for interstellar colonization, and its degree of belligerence can be imagined.

Su Xiao's hand pulled out from the Zerg mother's brain shell. He released the crystal layer on his hand and took out a piece of black armor, using it to cut his palm.

Blood flowed down. Su Xiao closed his eyes and constructed. The blood flowing from his palm formed a blood-colored array pattern like a tattoo on the mother's corpse. The next second, the flesh and blood on the Zerg mother grew wildly, turning into a pile of black-red flesh and blood.

Su Xiao pressed with one hand, and the spreading black-red flesh and blood suddenly stopped.

Thump~

A muffled sound spread, and strands of black energy floated upwards. On the black-red flesh and blood Su Xiao was pressing, a dark red flesh and blood door appeared.

Unknowingly, dark clouds covered the sky, and the sword grass leaf tips in the valley seemed to point to Su Xiao, feeling like they were about to pierce his pupils.

'Leave, get out...'

It seemed that an invisible voice appeared around, and the world rejection reaction appeared. Click, a flash of lightning crossed the sky.

In the center of the dark red flesh and blood door, a spatial crack split open, and a large amount of biological tissue poured out from the crack. This is the guarantee of ultra-long-distance teleportation. The main body of the teleportation is protected within these biological tissues.

Click click click~

The spatial crack in the center of the flesh and blood door closed rapidly. This is the intensification of the world rejection reaction. This world wants to reject the thing that is about to arrive.

"Roar!" 【34

Countless roars came from the rift, and black claws wrapped in carapaces reached out, gripping the two sides of the spatial rift; they were the sharp claws of many Demon Beasts.

With a *puff*, a small hand reached out from the black-red biological tissue. The summoning was successful.

A petite figure crawled out from the biological tissue. There were several light purple carapaces on both sides of her neck, which were very smooth and clung tightly to her skin. Other than that, at first glance, the creature Su Xiao summoned was no different from a human. It was Zhila.

Zhila tilted her head back, her body leaning backward, with the lower half of her body still inside the biological tissue. Having been summoned from an ultra-long distance, she was already exhausted.

"Boss, Zhila seems to have become weaker?"

"Mm."

Su Xiao was not surprised by this. Zhila had previously grown to the peak of the Seventh Tier. Her current aura fluctuations were at most just past the Seventh Tier.

This is normal. The systems of every world are different. Zhila is different from Xiang Bubu, Amu, and Baja; she does not have strong adaptability. Once in a different world, she will be affected by that world's system.

Although Zhila has become weaker for now, this is a world of the Eighth Tier peak echelon, which also means that Zhila's growth ceiling is much higher. The increase in the ceiling is more important for the present.

Su Xiao looked at Zhila and patted her face. Zhila not only didn't wake up, but instead wanted to shrink back into the biological tissue beneath her to continue sleeping. She had gotten used to being lazy on the Primitive Continent.

After two small slaps, Zhila's eyebrows twitched, and she slowly woke up. Just after waking, she looked around in confusion before gradually remembering what the situation was.

Su Xiao lifted Zhila out of the biological tissue. Zhila had a calm expression; she had often been lifted by Su Xiao before and was long used to it. She even yawned, indicating she was still a bit sleepy, but after a glance from Su Xiao, she shuddered and perked up. It was truly painful to be hung up and whipped for not being obedient in the past; her wailing and crying were useless.

Su Xiao placed Zhila in front of him, looked her up and down, and checked her attributes.

Skill 7, Mental Power Secondary Metamorphosis (Passive): Significantly increases the range and control of mental power.

Skill 8, Demon Zerg (Passive): Due to the influence of Demon Power, the Zerg units of this group will possess auxiliary/combat abilities granted by Demon Power.

Even though she was weakened once upon entering this world, Zhila's overall data still completely crushes Zerg mothers of the same stage in this world.

Previously, when competing for "Zerg Mother Embryos" in various laboratories in the north, Su Xiao knew one thing: what matters in this world is development. Right now, compared to other contractors developing Zerg, Su Xiao's development is definitely ranked first.

This is like everyone starting at the starting line, but Su Xiao's starting line is more special, located at the halfway point.

Su Xiao took out an item, the 【Abyss Stone】, which he obtained from trading with the Lord of the Old Days.

【Abyss Stone】

Origin: Abyss/Void.

Quality: White ~??? (Exerts different effects depending on the user)

Type: Rare Resource

Effect: Significantly enhances a creature's evolutionary ability and potential ceiling (has a huge bonus for Zerg, Star-Parasitic Crabs, Disaster Ants, and other groups).

Rating: 10 ~???

Introduction: Crystallized Abyss Power that has lost the normal characteristics of Abyss Power. Its greatest use is to be destroyed. Could it be that someone would really use it to enhance Zerg, Star-Parasitic Crabs, Disaster Ants, etc.?

After Zhila took the Abyss Stone, she cast a puzzled look.

"Eat it."

"Eat it directly?"

"Yes."

Hearing Su Xiao say this, Zhila took a bite of the 【Abyss Stone】, but ended up being stunned by the hardness. She looked at Su Xiao with a bit of grievance, not knowing why Su Xiao wanted her to eat this stone.

Facing Zhila's pitiful expression, Su Xiao remained unmoved and said, "Swallow it."

"?"

A look of great confusion appeared in Zhila's eyes. She looked at the Abyss Stone in her hand, which was a fist larger than her own small fist, and opened her mouth to gesture. After failing to stuff it into her mouth, her expression gradually turned fearful.

A moment later, with tears in her eyes, Zhila slowly moved her jaw and swallowed the Abyss Stone. Apart from being choked, she felt nothing for the time being.

After Zhila recovered, she took out a black egg she carried with her. She stretched her small hand out straight, her nails becoming sharp. She grabbed a piece from the black-red biological tissue on the side and started digging a hole in the ground. Afterward, she threw both the black egg and the biological tissue into the hole, buried it with soil, and even stomped on it a few times.

This is Zhila's unique "Planting Zerg." Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baja were long used to it.

Half a minute later, a black-and-gold hand claw reached out from the soil. Before long, a low-tier Zerg · Mantis Armor crawled out from the soil and shook the dirt off its head.

This Mantis Armor was very different; its carapace was full of scars and bite marks. It was clearly not a newly born Zerg. More importantly, it had a name; it was called Bulu.

Although Bulu was the lowest-level Zerg, it, like the leader-level Demon Beast · Abaddon and the Demon Flame Dragon · Barbatos, was one of the very few individuals among Zhila's retainers that possessed individual consciousness.

After Bulu shook the dirt off its body, it ran around Su Xiao. Having not seen Su Xiao for so long, Bulu, with its independent consciousness, expressed emotions of happiness and longing.

Zhila pointed at Bulu and conveyed a mental command with sleepiness: 'Establish a Zerg Nest.'

Bulu immediately went to work. The end of its carapace tail unfolded, and it clamped onto the 【Active Crystal】 whose energy had not yet been exhausted. By absorbing the biological energy within, it cultivated the basic tissue of the Zerg Nest. A few seconds later, a dark green biological tissue began to spread and expand.

Seeing this, Zhila went behind Su Xiao and burrowed into the hem of his long leather coat. She was used to being a shut-in and was very uncomfortable seeing the sunlight at this moment.

In the valley, in less than 1 minute, a First Tier Zerg Nest was established within the mountain. The egg-hatching tissue inside the Zerg Nest began to work. After cultivating 100 Mantis Armor eggs, these eggs rolled into the cultivation sac.

The classification method of the Zerg Nest is different from that of the Zerg mother. The Zerg Nest is classified according to the world tier. In this world, the Zerg Nest is divided into 1~8 tiers. With Zhila's current comprehensive situation, she can establish at most a Seventh Tier Zerg Nest.

If she can metamorphose from "Queen" to "Empress," it means the Zerg Nest has also broken through to the Eighth Tier. And upon reaching "Sovereign," although the Zerg Nest is still Eighth Tier, it is the top-tier form of the Eighth Tier.

Developing Zerg, the Empire will definitely show an iron fist. Moreover, Su Xiao is still a wanted criminal of the Empire.

To have the qualifications to wrestle with the Empire, Zhila must reach "Sovereign" to ensure the Zerg Nest's troop-producing ability, as well as the strength of Zerg buildings and Zerg combat units, etc.

This time, not only must the Zerg combat units be strong, but the Zerg buildings must also be sufficiently tough. Otherwise, if the enemy's warships and fighter jets attack, the situation will be bad. This time, it is not dealing with the Tiger Bee tribe, but the tech-side Owa people. Initially, it will definitely be about defending the home.

The First Tier Zerg Nest was successfully established. Compared to when it was on the Primitive Continent, the current First Tier Zerg Nest was much shorter, with an overall height of only a few meters. Mantis Armors crawled out from the cultivation sac one by one, participating in the construction of the Zerg Nest.

As soon as the Zerg Nest was established, Zhila entered it. From now on, unless Su Xiao speaks, Zhila will never come out.

Su Xiao came to the entrance of the Zerg Nest. The fresh, slightly earthy fragrance from his memory drifted over. It is no wonder Zhila likes to hide inside; not only is the air inside good, but it is also safe.

Su Xiao stored all the existing 784 【Active Crystals】 into the Zerg Nest. The current Zerg Nest was still very small, but after obtaining sufficient biological energy, the Zerg Nest began to evolve toward the second stage.

With a foundation, the evolution of the Zerg Nest was only a matter of time. 3 hours and 26 minutes later, the evolution of the Zerg Nest stopped. At this time, the external texture of the Zerg Nest appeared rough; these were biological armors.

The height of the entire Zerg Nest exceeded 80 meters, and its footprint was so large that the valley could no longer contain it. During the process of the Zerg Nest's upgrade, a total of 16,000 Mantis Armors had been cultivated by consuming biological energy.

These Mantis Armors expanded the area of the valley to a diameter of nearly one kilometer. The ground throughout the valley was covered with a layer of creep. These seemingly ordinary external organs of the Zerg Nest possessed astonishing war endurance.

Last time, during the war with the Tiger Bee tribe on the Primitive Continent, it relied entirely on the creep for endurance.

With the completion of the Seventh Tier Zerg Nest's evolution, a total of 16,000 Mantis Armors were all crawling on the creep around the Zerg Nest. Among them, 15,000 were decomposed, leaving only 1,000 Mantis Armors, which was enough.

All Zerg units have biological energy reserves in their bodies, it is just a matter of how much. They indeed do not eat or drink, but this is achieved by consuming biological energy.

Su Xiao looked up at the towering Zerg Nest. Just now, the 【Active Crystals】 inside the Zerg Nest had all been converted into biological energy. Due to the different world system, excluding the consumption of building the Zerg Nest, 42,150 points of biological energy remained from the 【Active Crystals】.

Every world has a different system. In addition to this, Su Xiao also discovered one point: some Zerg units cannot be cultivated in this world, such as Poison Stingers, Titans, and other Zerg combat units. The good news is that Demon Beasts and Demon Flame Dragons can still be cultivated.

【Prompt: You have successfully established a Zerg Nest, and the construction progress significantly exceeds that of other Zerg Nests belonging to contractors in this world.】

【Zerg Nest: Seventh Stage (Total of eight tiers, this tier will be determined according to the power system of this world).】

【Biological Energy Reserve: 42,150 points.】

【Organs within the Zerg Nest: Energy Storage Tissue (Seventh Tier), Hatching Tissue (Seventh Tier), Cultivation Sac (Seventh Tier), Evolution Chamber (Seventh Tier), Creep (Seventh Tier), Sensor Tower (Seventh Tier · Not established), Killing Sentry Tower (Seventh Tier · Not established)......】

【Basic Zerg · Gene Bank: Mantis Armor, Worker Scorpion, Hunting Teeth, Spore Tank, Self-Destruct Spore, Demon Beast, Leviathan......】

【Demon Zerg · Gene Bank: Demon Beast (Genetic evolution five times), Leviathan (Genetic evolution twice · Ultra-giant Zerg), Demon Flame Dragon (No genetic evolution performed).】

【Evolution Condition: 85,000 points of biological energy (Because Zerg Queen · Zhila devoured the Abyss Stone, the evolution prerequisite has been significantly reduced).】

Various Zerg buildings, Energy Storage Tissue, Hatching Tissue, Cultivation Sac, Evolution Chamber, etc., do not need to be worried about; these are all inherent to the Zerg Nest. As for the Sensor Tower, Killing Sentry Tower, etc., these cannot be afforded for the time being.

Although this is a bit dangerous, if these Zerg buildings were established immediately, there would be no biological energy left to cultivate Zerg combat units.

If it were on the previous Primitive Continent, 42,150 points of biological energy would be very little, but in this world, the measurement standard and quality of biological energy have changed. The biological energy reserve seems small, but the cultivation cost of Zerg units has also decreased by dozens of times.

Cultivating an elite Worker Scorpion requires 0.1 points of biological energy.

Cultivating a Demon Beast requires 10 points of biological energy.

Cultivating a Leviathan requires 200 points of biological energy.

Cultivating a Demon Flame Dragon requires 4,000 points of biological energy.

Although he wants to cultivate the Demon Flame Dragon · Barbatos right now, he is not very well-off.

A lot of the startup capital this time was used to build the Zerg Nest. However, compared to other contractors who start developing from a First Tier Zerg Nest, Su Xiao's start with a Seventh Tier Zerg Nest, plus perfect Zerg combat units, is simply a devilish start.

【Prompt: Main Quest · First Ring · Sprouting (Completed).】

【Completion: 695%.】

【Because the quest completion significantly exceeds the maximum limit, your quest rewards have been changed.】

【You obtained Zerg Gene Fragment · Outer Carapace Reinforcement.】

【You obtained Zerg Gene Fragment · Outer Carapace Secondary Reinforcement.】

【You obtained Zerg Gene Fragment · Outer Carapace Tertiary Reinforcement.】

【Checking......】

【Your Main Quest · Second Ring: Quest objective to cultivate the Zerg Nest to the Sixth Stage (Completed).】

【Your Main Quest · Third Ring: Obtain a combat race gene of sufficient strength (Detected Zerg Gene · Demon Beast, quest completed).】

【Your Main Quest · Fourth Ring: Quest objective to promote the Zerg Nest to the Seventh Tier (Completed).】

【Rewards have overlapped. You obtained the following rewards:

1. Zerg Nest Gene Fragment · Sharp Claws and Teeth.

2. Zerg Gene Fragment · Biological Plasma (Rare Gene Fragment).

【Main Quest: Rise (Fifth Ring)】

Difficulty Level: 【Difficulty Level: Lv. 8】 Quest Introduction: Evolve the Zerg Nest to the Eighth Stage.

Quest Deadline: 8 natural days.

Quest Reward: Soul Crystal Core × 4.

Quest Penalty: Forced execution.

As the saying goes, one step ahead, every step ahead. This is exactly Su Xiao's current situation.

The three carapace reinforcements for Zerg units from the Main Quest rewards are not yet apparent, but when cultivating Demon Beasts and Leviathans, the defensive advantage will be highlighted. Unfortunately, the Demon Flame Dragon does not have a carapace.

The Main Quest jumped directly from the first ring to the fifth ring. The "Sharp Claws and Teeth" and "Biological Plasma" rewarded are both enhancements; the former is an immediate enhancement, while the latter is a god-tier skill for the later stage.

Su Xiao looked at the entrance of the Zerg Nest and said, "Zhila."

"Ah?"

"Come out."

【Read books and get red envelopes】 Follow the public account 【Book Friends Base Camp】 to read books and draw up to 888 cash red envelopes!

"Oh~"

Zhila came out reluctantly. She hadn't stayed in her newly built home enough yet.

"Do you have any abilities related to mining?"

"Yes."

"Cultivate a Worker Scorpion to demonstrate."

"Worker Scorpions don't mine, but I do."

As Zhila said this, she squatted down and used her hands to dig for stones. This was the mining ability she had plundered.

"......"

Su Xiao wanted the Zerg units under Zhila to have mining abilities, not for Zhila herself to mine. With her Strength/Agility attributes that couldn't even beat Beni and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, she wouldn't be able to dig anything out even after a year.

Letting Zhila continue to be a shut-in, Su Xiao began to think about subsequent countermeasures. Mining on his own was no longer an option. In the entire Zerg Nest + Su Xiao team, the one who dug soil the fastest was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and the comprehensive mining ability was so bad it was an eyesore.

Since he couldn't mine, he could only switch back to eating meat. Su Xiao took out the terminal and opened the map function. The map opened by Beni appeared, and a neighbor appeared in Su Xiao's line of sight.

This was a Fifth Stage Zerg Nest. The owner of this Zerg Nest was a "Queen" Zerg mother. This tribe had over 3,000 worker-type Zerg individuals and over 700 combat-type Zerg individuals.

Su Xiao's idea was to use the existing 42,150 points of biological energy to cultivate 4,215 Demon Beasts, and then take these 4,215 Demon Beasts to pay a visit to the neighbor.
