Little Lord's Dark Castle

Chapter 212 Trapping the Death Worm
On the wasteland, a group of bent-horned deer are running wildly.

Behind them is a group of tigers flying in the sky with wings of fire, chasing them.

According to Chu Xin's order, the red-winged tiger has been besieging all kinds of strange beasts near the Zerg territory, trying to reduce the hunting efficiency of the death worms as much as possible.

This batch of bent-horned deer is very large, with nearly [-] to [-] deer, which can be regarded as a relatively large group of alien beasts in this area.

At this moment, the soil in front of the curved-horned deer suddenly rolled violently, and it only took a few breaths to rush to the curved-horned deer.

The mud and dust on the ground suddenly rose up, and a black shadow rushed out from the ground from the bottom up, and rushed into the herd of bent-horned deer in an instant.

This is a creature similar to an earthworm, headless and legless, with a giant mouth full of teeth. It is one of the two trump cards of the Zerg territory today, the death worm.

Several bent-horned deer that couldn't dodge were bitten by it in one bite and swallowed in two or three bites.

Although the death worms ate these prey, they did not actually digest them, but stored them inside their bodies, and would spit them out after returning to their territory.

"hiss"!
After the death worm swallowed the bent-horned deer, it screamed provocatively towards the red-winged tiger that was chasing up in the sky, with its huge mouthparts open, as if it was looking at them.

The bent-horned deer panicked and tried to escape in all directions. A group of khaki beetles emerged from the ground and hunted them down.

This behavior of snatching food from the tiger's mouth is not the first time. The red-winged tiger has no good way, and often after a few harassments, it can only leave in the end.

But this time, the situation is different!

"Hey, I'm finally waiting for you!" Among the rocks in the distance, a smile appeared on the corner of Chu Xin's mouth.

This group of bent-horned deer was originally a group of prey in the west of Chu Xin's territory, and he forced them here to use them as bait for fishing.

No, the fish happily bit the hook without even testing it.

He quickly connected with Cao Tuan's spiritual connection, and in the depths of the ground, countless vines surged out instantly.

Facing the sudden attack, the Death Worm didn't panic, it took the initiative to meet it.

The death worm is very clear about the strength of this familiar opponent. No matter how they fight, the final result of the two sides is just a stalemate, and no one can do anything to the other, so it is not panicked at all now.

Now that these ground beetles are hunting, it has to drag those vines to give the ground beetles time to transport the prey back.

At this time, the Zerg didn't know about Grass Tuan's promotion to Seven Stars. Otherwise, Death Worm would leave these teammates immediately and return to the Zerg territory.

This wrong decision made it step into the abyss.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Death Worm sensed that something was wrong and wanted to evacuate, but it was already too late.

"puff"!
Grass vines quickly covered the death worm's body, and its long sharp teeth crazily bit the death worm's body.

This time, unlike before, the rattan easily tore off a large piece of flesh from the death worm and swallowed it.

At the same time, countless tiny plant spores floated onto the body of the dead worm, and then took root, sucking the flesh and starting to grow rapidly, new vines bursting out of the flesh and blood.

The death worm turned its body in horror, but was bound tightly by the grass ball, unable to move at all, and could only feel the feeling of being bitten from countless places on its body.

Countless vines buried the death worm in the middle, and some vines even broke directly into the death worm's body along its huge mouthparts.

The Zerg territory also sensed something was wrong at this time. With an angry roar, the ground beetle rushed towards the grass mass, trying to save the death worm, and the golden ape also rushed out of the territory frantically.

The will of the clone of the worm mother quickly came to the body of the death worm, and it only retracted for a moment.

seven stars!

The unknown plant that devoured the death worm had actually reached seven stars.

Can't help!
The worm mother avatar quickly made a decision, and the Golden Demon Ape, who was halfway through, shrank back in embarrassment.

In the perception of the clone of the worm mother, the breath of life of the death worm is rapidly weakening, even if it is barely supported by its strong recovery ability, death is only a matter of time.

Given the distance from the Zerg territory to the battlefield, the Golden Demon Ape rushed over. The battle was probably over, and the Golden Demon Ape would face a terrifying seven-star monster by then.

When the Golden Demon Ape went out, it was just a matter of sending an extra head.

Moreover, the battlefield between the death worm and the grass group was underground, even if the Golden Demon Ape supported them, it would not help.

At the same time, those ground beetles that were hunting with the death worms also retreated. This is a new hunting unit specially created by the worm mother clone to adapt to the current situation.

Under the call of the worm mother clone, the ground beetles dropped their prey one after another, and quickly retreated back to the zerg territory.

The death worms are all dead. They are small miscellaneous fish, and they are just delivering food outside.

Chu Xin glanced at them and let them go. Cao Tuan now had to concentrate on killing the death worm. He couldn't give the other party a chance to escape and regenerate, so he had to eat it up.

If the death worms escaped because of catching a few ground beetles, the loss outweighed the gain.

Of course, if the ground beetle didn't have eyes and dared to approach it, the grass ball wouldn't mind devouring it together.

Chu Xin hid in the space dug by Iron Scale among the stone piles, silently waiting for the grass ball to devour it.

He habitually opened the information panel of the Zerg territory to check the situation.

[Insect Territory]: Four-star territory, current buildings: Brood, Gene Factory, Flesh Factory, Hatchery, Devouring Creep*6, Venom Turret*5, Energy Bug Cannon*2; Garrison Strength: Tank Bug*10, Tank Cannon Bug*20, Laser Bug*5, Needle Worm*256, Lurker*46, Venom Flying Bug*50, Parasitic Cerebral Worm*4.

Not checked for more than a day, the Zerg territory has changed a lot.

It was actually promoted from the original three-star territory to the four-star territory, which really surprised Chu Xin, because one of his territory promotion tasks was to destroy the four-star territory.

He had always had a little bit of regret in his heart. This Zerg territory only had three stars and could not meet his promotion requirements. He did not expect that the other party would be so cooperative, and he would be promoted to a fourth-level territory in a blink of an eye.

However, after the Zerg territory was promoted to four stars, there were many changes. First of all, there was an additional defensive building called the energy-gathering insect cannon, which had a super long range of one kilometer.

In addition, the structure of the troops in the Zerg territory has also undergone great changes. In addition to the four-star tank bugs, there is also an additional unit called the tank gun bug, which is an advanced body of the tank bug.

The two one- and two-star insects, the knife bug and the velociraptor, disappeared, and changed into two-star needleworms with long-range attack capabilities, and lurkers with certain invisibility capabilities.

It can be clearly felt that the insect mother avatar has sensed its dangerous situation, and is gradually transforming the Zerg territory from the original offensive and plundering mode to the defensive mode.

After going through this round of transformation, Chu Xin could clearly see that the body of the worm mother avatar, which was originally like a mountain of meat, was a little smaller.

From the looks of it, the Zerg territory has really come to an end. What Chu Xin needs to face is probably the strength that the Zerg has put on the surface.

The only two unstable points here are one is the clone of the worm mother, and it is impossible to determine how far its combat power and combat range can reach; the other is the four parasitic brain worms, so far only one golden demon ape has appeared , what kind of moths the remaining three will make, it is not yet known, and it is difficult to distinguish their traces from the view of the watchtower.

However, regardless of the strength of the Zerg territory, Chu Xin will attack once the day after tomorrow.

It's best to destroy it all at once. If it can't be destroyed in one fell swoop, then close the door for another week.

Now the strength of his territory is growing freely, but the development of the Zerg territory has come to a standstill, and it can only gradually perish in its own continuous attack.

Turning off the map, Chu Xin swiped two more Huifang tribes, and finally waited until the grass ball completely devoured the death worm.

After swallowing the death worm, the grass group newly evolved a thick rattan with super regeneration ability, which was as thick as a bucket, and looked like a smaller death worm.

"Your task now is to guard the valley entrance of the Zerg Valley for me. As long as they dare to send worms out, come and eat one for me!" Chu Xin gave Cao Tuan a task. Seven-star it, even if it is a clone of the worm mother , are not necessarily false.

It is now impossible for the Zerg territory to organize an attack of that scale like attacking the python, and the grass group has the ability to move, and it is basically invincible in the underground.

"Master, bugs are disgusting, can you not eat them!" Cao Tuan protested.

Cao Tuan's favorite food is the demon that is burning with the flames of the abyss. Besides, other normal beasts can also be eaten, but it has always been very resistant to bugs.

The death worm was ordered by Chu Xin, so Cao Tuan reluctantly ate it.

No way, dealing with the death worm, and only this method can kill it most safely.

"It's fine if you don't eat it, as long as you kill it. Anyway, just guard Taniguchi for me." Chu Xin said indifferently.

"Then there's no problem, leave it to me!" Cao Tuan readily agreed.

Chu Xin was relieved that the Zerg territory was guarded by grass balls. He climbed out of the stone pile with iron scales and joined the Red Wing Tiger team.

At the time when the grass mass devoured the death worms, the red-winged tiger had already captured the group of bent-horned deer in sevens and eights, only 7 of them were left alive, and the rest were all killed by the attack of the ground beetles. Most of the corpses were taken away by ground beetles.

Chu Xin didn't feel sorry for the loss of such a large number of prey, after all, the death worm they got in exchange was precious enough.

After bidding farewell to Cao Tuan, Chu Xin took the red-winged tiger and drove the group of bent-horned deer back to the territory.

This walk, went to the sunset.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the territory seemed very quiet. Most of the people's activities were in the second half of the territory. In the first half of the territory, only ghost wolves and undead who came back from hunting could be seen from time to time.

Chu Xin led the red-winged tiger all the way across the territory, and handed the bent-horned deer to Wuli.

Deer are also a type of animal that can be bred to eat meat. Chu Xin doesn't know if the meat is good or not. Anyway, it is bred here. If it is not good, it can be used as meat for troops.

According to past knowledge, venison should be a more nourishing meat, and the taste should not be very bad, but because the value of velvet is greater than that of venison, venison is rarely seen on the market.

However, it is impossible for these seven bent-horned deer to grow to a large scale in a short period of time, unless the entire deer herd can be brought back to the territory at that time.

Now at the animal pen, Wu Li has about seventeen or eight assistants who are responsible for daily mowing and feeding, picking up eggs and other miscellaneous tasks. The growth and domestication of these focus groups, such as the woolly pig.

The progress of large-scale livestock breeding is slow, but the scale expansion of small exotic animals such as fire feather chickens and water blue rabbits is still quite fast.

The environment in the animal pen is very stable. The fire feather chickens lay eggs quickly, but very few hatch, and the growth of the number is relatively slow, but the water blue rabbit is very exaggerated.

Under normal circumstances, rabbits can produce five or six litters per year, with eight or nine litters per litter.

Now in the animal pen, there is no threat of natural enemies. Apart from eating, the water blue rabbits are breeding. The first batch of rabbits were born not long after Chu Xin returned to the territory.

There are probably more than 500 water blue rabbits in the animal pen. If this trend continues, this number will soon be doubled several times.

Because the high-grade livestock stables are occupied by piglets, not too many livestock are put in.But on the side of the high-level poultry pen, there are not so many worries.

More than 400 fire feather chickens were sent to high-level animal pens to be domesticated. At the same time, relying on the function of accelerating reproduction, their number was further expanded.

The domestication effect of high-level stables is very good. After being domesticated, the temper of the fire feather chicken will be much restrained, and the egg production rate of the hen will also increase significantly.

Because of its docile personality and the fact that it does not belong to poultry, Shuilan Rabbit was kept in an ordinary animal pen beside it.

Chu Xin is quite satisfied with the development of the animal pen. The freedom of chicken and rabbit meat is almost realized, the freedom of pork has already started, and the freedom of mutton and beef is still a bit far away.

Next, pay more attention to the traces of these two types of strange beasts, and try to domesticate a batch of cattle and sheep as soon as possible.

On the other side of the farmland, the emerald and white jade, um, cabbage, has completed flowering and seed collection, and each seed collection has reached about 20 seeds, and the next batch of sowing will begin immediately.

The wheat is growing gratifyingly, with a large area of ​​lush greenery, and it has entered the earing period. After accelerated growth, it will be ready for harvest in about two weeks.

Potatoes are only about a week away from being harvested, and this will become the main food for the next citizens.

The seeds of crops brought back from the Emerald Empire, such as sweet potatoes and corn, have already been sown. They are still in the seedling stage, and it will take some time before they mature.

When these crops are grown and harvested, Chu Xin's food will be greatly improved, and it will not be as monotonous as it is now, with meat all day long and no green in sight.
