Zerg in the crystal wall system world

Chapter 14 The Strange Lion
Ga-ga-ga-ga-

With the sound of flapping wings, a flock of gray-black birds rose from the jungle, circled in the air for a while, and scattered into the surrounding jungle.

However, most of the flying birds are not arrow gulls, but sparrow-sized birds called decoy birds by the masters.

As the name suggests, this is not a combat unit, its main value is to be eaten by large animals, and then rely on the large amount of virus stored in the body to infect the gluttons into Zerg units.

In the absence of a hatchery, the entire growth cycle of an arrow gull from gestation, hatching to adulthood was compressed to about six days. With the blessing of the strange tree, it was probably reduced to more than four days. So far, the master has only hatched. Two batches of arrow gull eggs were collected.

Even if the biological reproduction is an exponential increase, there are not many numbers in just two rounds.

But the predatory bird, because of its small size, has a growth cycle of less than three days. With the blessing of the green energy of the strange tree, the speed is further shortened to two days, and there are already tens of thousands after four rounds.

Juggernaut did not let the two bird-type units look for similar traces in the jungle, but mainly searched for the surrounding large predators.

After all, the IQ of the birds is not high, and it is difficult for them to understand what the "marks that ordinary beasts cannot make" are like.

In contrast, large predators in the jungle have a wide range of activities, relatively high intelligence, and understand the dangers everywhere in the jungle.

Instead of letting the birds find needles in the jungle, it is better to find these guys. After infection, Master and Agatha rely on psionic energy to read their memories.

The strategy has undoubtedly been successful.

soon.

So the master found the location of two claw marks in the brain of an anaconda; found a trace of early urine in the brain of a wolf; found two extremely exaggerated places in the brain of a bear. Gouging marks...

The range of activities against the mysterious creature keeps shrinking.

until three days later.

Only then did Juggernaut find the exact location of that mysterious creature in the mind of a female tiger—near a pool of water forty kilometers away from Juggernaut.

This guy's range of activities is really exaggerated. More than 6000 square kilometers, ten times the size of the Siberian tiger's territory, equivalent to seven or eight counties.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the master saw the mysterious beast through the vision of an arrow gull.

It is a huge monster with a head and shoulder height of three meters and a tail length of nearly nine meters.

Vertical pupils, short snout, toes, neck mane... This seems to be a lion, but it has two horns on the forehead, and scales of different sizes on the shoulders, neck, tail, and hind paws.

This giant half-lion, half-lizard beast was lying lazily on a rock basking in the sun.It didn't even care about the two bouncing birds of prey that landed on it.

"Seventh-level psionic energy fluctuations." Agatha made a judgment using the senses of a specially adjusted Arrow Gull.

Equivalent to a fanatic in Protoss...a fanatic who has been stripped clean without wearing any equipment.

In contrast, due to the expansion of the territory, Juggernaut's psionic energy has improved slightly at this time, and can support the squandering of dozens of fifth-level psionic energy units, but it has not yet reached the sixth-level standard.

The bird of prey tried to peck the giant beast twice.Even if the decoy bird has no attack ability according to the standard of the swarm, its casual peck is enough to leave an ordinary person with bone-deep wounds.

This knock on Longshi's body just made its flesh tremble a bit, and Longshi's expression didn't change much.

Such a strong physique, no wonder it can leave such marks on the tree.

The ruler's thoughts moved.

The arrow gull attached to the consciousness rose into the sky, circled in the air for a week, retracted its wings, and swooped down towards it.Stretching the neck forward, the two pointed horns protruded an inch forward.

With a click, the cold light flashed away.

The arrow gull's neck was broken under the huge force, and the two sharp horns were blown away.

The impact enough to nail into a solid tree didn't even show a trace of blood.

"Aw—" the strange lion let out a loud roar.

Apparently, while it didn't hurt it, it hurt.

With a wave of the strange lion's giant claw, the arrow gull, which could not survive at all, was thrown out like a shell, and hit the stone by the pool to rot into a pile of flesh.

Even the two prey birds that landed on the shoulders of the strange lion could not escape.

One was slapped down by the angry lion, and one was swallowed with hair and blood in its mouth...

The high-concentration zerg virus, along with the body fluids of the bird-attractor, filled the mouth of the monster lion, flowed through the tonsils, entered the esophagus, and finally fell into the stomach acid...

It seemed that the smell of blood had aroused the strange lion's appetite. He rubbed on the stone where he had just been stabbed, and with a dull growl in his throat, he left the pool cursing.

Only a little more than ten minutes later, on the creeper sofa a hundred miles away, Juggernaut suddenly opened his eyes, his face was a little tired, it was too much effort to lock a group of viruses in the hive mind.

What is certain is that the virus that invaded the strange lion's body is dead.

But the Juggernaut was not depressed.

After successfully infecting some oral epithelial cells, the virus was discovered by the monster's own immune system and killed together with the infected cells.

This at least means that the strange lion is not like the protoss, which is completely incapable of infection, but its immunity is extraordinarily strong.

Two birds of prey fell from it, bounced and searched for a while, picked up a few brown hairs from the ground, and flew up...

Although phages cannot thoroughly analyze the DNA of a species like split pools and evolutionary chambers, it is still very easy to produce targeted viruses by analyzing the specific structure in DNA.

In the afternoon of that day, a bird of prey that had been installed with a new virus soared into the sky...

…………

The strange lion had a hard time during this time.

After having a full meal three days ago, I started to feel dry and hot for no reason, and soaking in water was useless; just after a little better, I started to feel dizzy again.

I can't sleep yet, and when I close my eyes, I feel someone stroking my fur, scratching my chin, and whispering in my ear: Join us...obey...evolve...

The voice was weird, but I somehow understood it, and felt that what it said made sense... It's just that the method of stroking hair was too bad, and I woke myself up repeatedly.

But thinking about it, it shouldn't be a big deal. At most, it was the same as when I ate a few brightly colored frogs on a whim, and it took two days to feel uncomfortable.

I even have a good appetite now, so there is definitely no problem in being able to eat and drink.

Thinking of this, the strange lion stretched out its front paws full of reddish-brown growths and scars to grab a bird of prey from its side and threw it into its mouth.Feeling that the juicy body burst open in the mouth with a bang, and the soup inside rolled and fell into the throat as if it could move, the strange lion showed a satisfied expression on his face.

How much of this delicious little thing did you eat?The strange lion turned his head and looked at the full of prey birds still standing around... Well, there are still so many, it seems that they haven't eaten much.

Oh, is it itchy on the back?
Thinking of this, the strange lion opened its mouth and stretched out its long tongue, scratched the slightly deformed appendages that had just grown on the back spine, and the lion's fur fell all over the ground.

well?Speaking of which, was my tongue that long before...

Following this thought, the strange lion's thoughts gradually fell silent, and he entered a dream again.

But this time, no one stroked its fur anymore—after all, it was almost bald.

It had a dream.

But not anything specific.

Instead, it is like a revolving lantern, showing one's own memory from near to far...
