Zerg in the crystal wall system world

Chapter 13 Venomophages

A week goes by in a blink of an eye.

The area covered by the creep has reached [-] square kilometers, equivalent to the size of a town.

The Overlord was still sitting on the creeper sofa under the strange tree.

But at this time the appearance of the sofa has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Some more chitin bone armor is the most supportive, which makes the appearance of the sofa look a bit hideous.

Behind the back of the sofa grew many cable-like structures, which hung down into the ground and connected to the creep.

This is because Juggernaut often uses psionic energy in this position to evolve a structure similar to nerve cords, which can improve the efficiency of Juggernaut's use of psionic energy.However, because there is no evolution cavity to activate key gene segments, the increase is better than nothing.

Not far away, the creep covering Agatha is more differentiated.Large and small tumor-like organs surrounded her, beating slightly.

These are various organs differentiated to assist Agatha in managing the creeps everywhere, which contain a large amount of nerve tissue, which is the "creep nodule" in Agatha's mouth.Even so, Agatha was still a little overwhelmed—she was not a construction unit after all.

But she will be free soon, not far from Juggernaut.A cocoon as tall as a three-story building is slowly expanding and shrinking.

Snapped--

The cocoon burst, and a large amount of juice flowed around and was quickly absorbed by the creep.An organic structure with bony spurs bursts out.

It looks like a creep spore pod magnified countless times.Its upper end is composed of coiled ring-shaped muscles, which resembles half a bean pod. It can generate huge pressure to eject the slurry full of creeper spores thousands of meters away.

The sac supported by the carapace at the lower end looks like a balloon-like liquid storage sac, but in fact, the interior is divided into small chambers by numerous membranes, and a large number of glands contained in the membrane can quickly produce spore serum.

This is the phage.With a little modification, the sac below it can be converted to produce concentrated bile, and the resulting bile jet was once used as an orbital attack weapon in the swarm.

Of course, also because of the absence of an evolutionary cavity, the key genes cannot be activated, even if the master transforms it himself, its power is limited.

Weapons aren't the most important job of a venomophage, though.

It can also swallow living things and send them into the small chambers in the cysts to specifically modify viruses or create alienated combatants.

In addition, its core has an extremely complex neural structure, which is used to integrate and control the surrounding creepers.This is where its greatest value lies for the Juggernaut—as a temporary hub for the swarm.

Dominator also intends to link the two types of nesting females, the waterfowl and the small bird, with the poisonous body, so as to facilitate the further shaping of these two arms...

Although there is still a long way to go before the establishment of a hatchery, at least the swarm at this stage has left the stage where everything needs to be done by the master.

But Juggernaut has no intention of relaxing.

In a week, the infected waterfowl that was released the first time had already flown a distance of nearly [-] kilometers.

This distance is supposed to be more than half a circle around the earth, but judging by Juggernaut's perception through the will of the hive, it is still moving away.

Moreover, the environment where the waterfowl pass has not changed in the slightest.

Not to mention the climate type, even the temperature, humidity, and terrain are the same as the area where the Overlord is located. There are no deserts, grasslands, oceans, or even mountains.

Only the endless rainforest.

This made Juggernaut wonder whether the world he lived in was spherical.

At the same time, Agatha's observation of the stars also foreshadowed this.

The sky is full of stars, and there is no change except brightness for a whole week, not even rising in the east and setting in the west. It seems that their positions are nailed, as if it is just a map.

As for the only good news, probably after flying for so long, they still haven't found any trace of civilization.

It's not just waterfowl that travel far. The flocks of birds produced in the bird's nest are scattered and fly back and forth in an area dozens of times beyond the creep coverage area.

There is more than one waterfowl that is released by the master to fly in all directions, but these waterfowls have more than just exploration tasks. After flying far enough, they will find a safe area to sleep.

When the overlord finds that the world is safe, or the current base is exposed, the creeps in their bodies will spread under the command of the overlord, becoming the outpost or backup territory of the swarm.

The master set his sights on the poisonous phage.

Find another week.

If there is still no sign of civilization after a week, I will order the poisonous phages to spread the disease-causing spores into the atmosphere...

Just as this idea came into being, Agatha's voice suddenly came: "Master, we found something about the creep."

"Which position!" The Master responded immediately.

After a few minutes.

A water bird, bearing the consciousness of the ruler, came to the edge of the creeper.

At this time, the waterfowl has undergone several transformations by the Juggernaut, and it has long since lost its original appearance.

The wings became slightly shorter, but the muscle texture became more obvious, and the feathers on the neck were replaced by large pieces of light carapace; the webbed feet disappeared, replaced by giant claws that resembled sickles.

The original short beak became even shorter, and two rows of fangs grew out, but on both sides of the arrow gull's face, long pointed horns protruded forward.This is a structure similar to the side impact angle of the Zergling's face. After browsing the gene pool of the Zerg, the master discovered that the Zerg is not very interested in the structure of the beak, instead of just replacing the bird's beak with the chitin structure of the Zerg , might as well give it a ramming angle.

Because the attack method is mainly to sacrifice one's life and hit, the master gave it a new name - Arrow Gull.

On the abdomen of the arrow gull, there is a huge eyeball for viewing from a high altitude.

Relying on this eyeball, the master saw the abnormal phenomenon that Agatha said.

It was a thick tree about the size of a strange tree, with lush leaves, thick roots, and a vigorous appearance.

Of course, this tree is not the point, and there is no psionic energy fluctuation on it, the key lies in the position of the trunk close to the root.

There is a large, fiber-spattering wound.

Deep in the wound, there were five extremely deep scratches.

There are obvious claw marks, and the power is also exaggerated. From the perspective of damage, the trunk is no different from tofu to the claw swinger.

"Those genetically inferior individuals cannot cause this kind of trace." Agatha said seriously.

Indeed, not to mention ordinary beasts, even the impact of a boar-shaped alien combat body would hardly cause such marks.

The master controlled the arrow gull to jump forward twice, carefully studying the trace.

It's just a pity that this is not a product of psionic energy attack, and it is impossible to judge the opponent's psionic energy level from it.

"Tell me, why did that individual leave this trace?"

"Maybe it's just a means to declare power." Agatha analyzed, "Inferior creatures are always used to leaving marks in areas where they are frequently active."

"Then there must be other signs around." The master ordered, "Look for it!"

…………

　I changed the "Zerg" in the title of the work to "Zerg".

　　Hope to attract more Zerg lovers.

　　I haven't signed a contract until now, so I'm a little panicked.
