Zerg in the crystal wall system world

Chapter 120 Frontline Base
three days later.

The construction of the frontline base at the junction of the two worlds is finally coming to an end.

In fact, after the swarm can hatch the parasitic heart, the development time of the hatchery has been greatly shortened.

Coupled with the various technologies unlocked by the evolution cavity, under the condition of sufficient nutrient supply and tilted life force, it only takes a little over three days for a hatchery to stand up.

If Juggernaut pays attention to it from time to time, the psionic blessing it brings can even shorten the development time to within two days.The outpost world, which started to develop together with the frontline base, even if it still needs to accumulate organic matter, the second batch of hatcheries is about to be completed at this time.

It can be said that Juggernaut pays little attention to the construction of frontline bases.The reason for its slow development is actually very simple-the hatchery here is of a special model.

The main opponent facing the frontline base at this moment is a Tier [-] unit with powerful spellcasting ability.

In order to deal with possible magical attacks, the hatch here is only three times thicker than a normal hatch.

Added a flame shield from the Crystal Draper; a high-frequency peripheral neural net to neutralize magic; and the Demon Eater shell, which the Swarm had only recently deciphered.

The main brain is scattered, the central system has a backup, and it has regenerative properties.Even if the hatchery is torn apart, as long as a quarter of the hatchery structure is preserved, limited hatching capacity and neural integration to surrounding building units and creep can be maintained.

The length and density of the tentacles that go deep into the rock formation in the underground hatching cavity are twice that of ordinary hatching grounds, and the earth element group from the petrified giant snake is installed, constantly consuming the magic power of the earth element to strengthen the formation.

The location of the hatchery was also carefully selected.The location where the stratum is relatively solid is chosen to avoid the situation that the hatchery of Longshiling is located right on the crater.

and most importantly.

Master built 24 of these thick-skinned hatcheries in one go!

There are more than 300 twisted nodules that provide organic matter alone.It is equipped with the toughened and thickened creep of the same type as the Abyss of Flesh, and there are countless cockroach nests, poisonous phages, spore ejectors, and spore reptiles.

The scale of this base is the largest except for the Flesh Abyss.If it wasn't for the rampant monsters during the blood moon, and the swarm took the opportunity to capture many myriads, it might not be able to feed them.

Regarding the "volcanic eruption" magic, the master has consulted his newly appointed magic advisor Tovdir.

Got the good news: "Only the legendary Titans have the ability to shape volcanoes only by magical means."

The eruption of the volcano just led by the dragon and lion released the energy equivalent to the explosion of thousands of nuclear bombs.Such a huge energy consumption cannot be supported by an individual at all.

Like volcanoes, earthquakes, lightning storms... Such super-large-scale, super-powerful natural disaster magics are actually just guides for natural disasters.

This means that it is actually difficult for the opponent to precisely control the eruption location of the volcano, and it is also difficult to create two powerful volcanoes in a very close range...

Because the insect swarm will be facing a high-level epic species that can change the terrain at will, the third-level passage of the Great Labyrinth may be buried at any time.The main force must have the ability to quickly dig the ground.

The main unit produced by the 24 hatcheries is cockroaches.

But no ordinary cockroaches.

The "refrigerant circulation" allows them to add a temperature-controlled circulation system in addition to the blood circulation system in their bodies, which flows halogenated hydrocarbons, so that it can cool itself like a refrigerator and keep the body temperature of important organs constant.

"Insulating Carapace" increases insulation at the expense of slightly reducing surface permeability.

"High temperature metabolism" improves the structure of some macromolecules, allowing cockroaches to maintain efficient biological reactions at high body temperatures.

The "locking support structure" improves the structure of the cockroach's carapace junction, which greatly increases its pressure bearing capacity.

The "paddle digging feet" reduced the cockroach's ability to break through rock formations, but allowed it to "swim" twice as fast in lava and mantle materials.

Coupled with the crystalline shell from the crystal-clad dragon and the demon-eating shell from the phallus, cockroaches can soak in lava for years without problem.

Moreover, the huge scale of the base also means sufficient vitality.Although it's still not as large as the Abyss of Flesh, it can overflow to produce "Burning Legion", but it only affects 24 hatcheries.It can reach the terrible efficiency of producing more than 8 cockroaches every ten hours.

Led by several elite cockroaches implanted with multi-spectral monocular eyes and sensory tentacles, the first batch of worms entered the passage of the third-floor grand maze.

The perception and hiding abilities of the underground epic species are excellent, and he reacted before the eye-planting cockroaches locked their specific location.

Accompanied by a slight disturbance of magic power, a large amount of lava gushed out from the depths of the passage.But it's just a normal "water level rise" and it doesn't come with the terrifying pressure like a volcanic eruption.

The cockroaches didn't even slow down, and jumped into the lava one by one, relying on vibration waves to identify directions, and quickly digging forward in the sticky lava.

The underground epic species obviously also sensed their state.

The cockroaches just swam more than a hundred meters.

A violent eleventh-level magic power response came from the ground.

The entire channel collapsed in an instant under the violent vibration.

Just as the master predicted, except for a few unlucky eggs that happened to be squeezed in the middle of the earth element crystal clusters and were crushed, most of the cockroaches still survived.

The erupting earth elements passed all the way up to the ground.

Under the effect of magic power, the rocks on the surface split into pieces, and began to undulate and roll like waves.

In a radius of tens of miles, everything on the ground was knocked tens of meters underground under the inexplicable force.

High-level earth magic: Earthquake.

but……

This strength is not even as strong as the muscles in the abyss of flesh and blood back then.

Just the tense multi-layered creep blanket and the high-frequency peripheral nerves in the fleshy tentacles that penetrated deep into the ground calmed down the surge—this was the power that a normal eleventh-level spell should have.

and.

It is different from when the master focused his attention on the dragon and lion collar and had no time to trace the source.This time the magic power was stimulated, and the hatchery was more than ten kilometers above it.

At the moment when the wave was excited, the master's psionic energy locked onto the target.

This is……

A dragon?
The master narrowed his eyes.

In fact, he had already speculated that shaping a volcano is not something that can be done by the rough magic of ordinary monsters relying on blood flow. It must be a powerful mage or a wise epic species with inherited memory.Coincidentally, in the battle between dragon and lion, Mota inexplicably had the aura of dragonborn...

Moreover, the master also vaguely sensed that there seemed to be something wrong with the dragon's mind...
