Zerg in the crystal wall system world

Chapter 76 Asking Nature
We move the clock forward a little by two hours.

Caveman tribe core.

The high priest urgently summoned six saints to come under the tree of life without affecting the defense force as much as possible.

It can be seen that the six saints at this time are not very comfortable-since the birth of the cave elves, they have never held this form of assembly.

The power of nature within the tribe cannot be separated from the high priest's auspices. She didn't say anything nonsense: "The tribe can last up to half a month."

Several saints paused for a moment, their eyes showing surprise, but no one spoke. After a few breaths of silence, a saint with a scar on his face asked, "Why?"

So far, the bug swarm has not shown any advantage in a frontal confrontation.With this kind of attack power, the elves have no hope of breaking through, but it is not a problem to persist for several months.

"A terrible disease is rapidly spreading among all kinds of fungi," said the high priest, with deep worry in his brows.

"Hasn't it already been dispelled?" The Scar Saint asked.

"It's only temporarily curbed, and the effect of the spell is still fading."

For the swarm, the magical natural magic of the elves is no better than the nanotechnology of the human race in the Koprulu sector, especially when the swarm has controlled several elves early.

Long before the swarm launched its offensive, the master had already ordered the alienated elves to cast a series of natural spells such as "dispelling disease", "healing", "detecting disease", "enhancing immunity"... and so on on the poisonous body. Viruses that are resistant to the forces of nature.

"How about getting rid of those diseased fungi?" Finally, other saints asked.

Plague Demons are also common monsters in the underground world, and the elves are well aware that necessary killings are inevitable in the face of plagues.

The high priest shook his head: "It's too late, the entire mycelium network has already been infected."

The part of the fungi that grows underground is much larger than the part on the ground, and there are only a few types of common mushrooms in the mushroom forest, and almost all of the underground mycelia grow together.This structure is easy for natural forces to circulate and easy for elves to take care of, but because of this, it was taken over by the swarm virus.

The saints present fell silent.It is not impossible to plow the mushroom forest from beginning to end, but cleaning up the underground fungus net at this point in time is tantamount to self-destructing the Great Wall.

It was the scar sage who spoke first: "You just said what we need to do?"

"Enter the insect lair," the high priest said. "They are highly differentiated social monsters. There must be a full-time breeding individual. Kill it, and the insect tide may be suppressed."

Going to the worm lair alone was almost a death-defying task, but none of the six saints present showed any hesitation.

The Scar Saint was more direct: "When are you leaving?"

"Now," the high priest said, he took out a branch that looked bad, glanced for a moment between the scarred saint and the only one among the six who was wearing a bow and a cane at the same time, and finally chose The latter, "Elroy, you take it."

This is a relatively complete section of the tree of life recovered by the elves. The reason why the saints gather is actually because of it.

The scarred sage did not raise any objections, but the sage named Elroy took the branch with a mixed expression.

He is the one with the deepest cultivation of the way of nature among the cave elves, and he is practicing both as a ranger and a priest at the same time. If there is no accident, he is qualified to carry a branch to become a high priest.

But I didn't expect to touch the branch in this state in the end...

Feeling full of emotions, Elroy held the branch full of bite marks, closed his eyes, and half-kneeled on the ground, while the high priest put his hand on the top of his head, and slowly read the sacrificial words.

Within a few breaths, a light belt made of green runes appeared between the high priest and the tree of life.With a slight trembling, several runes flew out after re-engraving, establishing a similar link between Elroy and the branch.

The ancient contract ceremony ended hastily, and the green rune chain dissipated.Elroy and the Branch of Life also had a vague connection.

The high priest did not stop singing, and waved the wooden staff in her hand. Her hair and the leaves of the tree of life behind her became crystal clear simultaneously, and a huge force of nature flowed between the two, and finally rushed towards the six saints.

The power of nature passed through the bodies of the six saints repeatedly in various forms, and finally condensed on the branches in Elroy's hands.

"Advanced Regeneration", "Great Soothing", "Eye of True Sight", "Brute Force", "Forewarning", "Armor of Thorns"... Natural spells flowed from the hands of the high priest one by one , blessed on the bodies of the six people.

These spells with simple names condense the wisdom of the high priests of the past dynasties. In the elven civilization that does not develop technology, they are the "power armor" and "stab gun" of the elves. The strength of pretending to be several times that of an elf.

Elves do not "practice" this habit.After the ritual of life magic was completed, the six of them set off immediately.

The worm path blocked by the activated mushroom right above the tree of life was opened. This is the entrance for the swarm to attack, and it is also the only entrance to the wormhole controlled by the elves.

The activated bacterial tentacles lift them up and send them into it.

But before the six people actually entered the area covered by the creeper, the "early warning technique" left by the high priest was activated.

The six people felt a sense of voyeurism at the same time.

A sage shot out with an arrow, piercing through the remnant of a spore reptile growing on the creep tentacles at the far end.

But it was already too late, bugs came out of the ground one by one, obviously there was an ambush long ago.

However, the six of them did not show surprise.

They faced a cunning opponent, not a mindless beast, as was evident when the swarm raided the Tree of Life.

Just when the swarm was about to attack.A thick green halo came from below, fixing all the swarms in place.The six saints took the opportunity to escape from the encirclement.

"Group paralysis", this is the last help the high priest can give them.

The worm road extends in all directions and is extremely complicated. After a while, the six people came to a four-way fork.

Several people set their sights on the scarred saint at the same time: Saveri, a senior ranger, the scars on his body can also prove this-only the angry attacks of high-level epic species can leave scars on the saint.

He is also the only saint among the few who often visits here, and he is the most familiar with the environment here.Like Elroy, he was the first cave elf born and lived a long time.

"I need some time." Saveri said, and took two steps in the direction of Elroy, approaching the branches of the tree of life, and after a few breaths, green patterns began to appear under his feet.

"Ask nature", that is, ask the way naturally, a ranger's natural spell, which allows the user to perceive detailed information about the surrounding environment, and the scope is much larger than the eye of true sight.In the hands of a ranger who has cultivated a deep understanding of the way of nature, it can even be compared to the state of being in harmony with all souls.

To put it bluntly, this is also a means of interacting through deep connection with the surrounding environment.

And countless times before, it has been proved that in the territory of the swarm, any behavior of connecting with the environment will eventually be connected to the master...

After the swarm occupied the abyss of flesh and blood, the violent soldiers never stopped, and the master's psionic energy level has crossed the ninth level.In addition to the special expertise of psionic energy, but in the field of mind, the master is not weaker than the saint.

Therefore, after Saveri's green phantom appeared in the will of the hive, the Overmind no longer just kicked it out like it did when dealing with Eral.Instead, using the handsome ball as a springboard, he began to entangle it with psionic energy to pull it into the depths of the hive's will, and began to transmit wave after wave of spiritual impact.

For the master, this is equivalent to grabbing Savery's collar and smacking his mouth back and forth.

But from Savile's point of view, that's not the case at all:
After he was deeply connected with nature, a huge and malicious idea descended on him. The strong mental pressure caused countless hallucinations before his eyes, and the accompanying pain seemed to be planted in his brain. The fleshy mushrooms made his eyes go black in strands.

However, what is even more terrifying is the level of belief.

The feeling of being resisted or even actively attacked by nature is a nightmare for all elves.

This is not something that can be resolved by knowing the nature of the ruler.In fact, Savery and even the five onlookers realized that the "nature" in the wormhole might be some kind of group consciousness the moment Savery was attacked.

But... just like the Dalam protoss will still be confused, painful and even self-destructed because of the loss of Kara when they learn the truth about Kara.The elves have been used to "being with nature", even if there is a reason, they cannot bear to be abandoned by nature.

"They're already here! Saveri, which direction should we go?" Elroy had to urge. In the vision of the Eye of True Sight, there were clamoring insect swarms at all the forks leading here. coming.

"I see it, I'll see it soon!" Saveri gritted his teeth, blood kept flowing from his nose, relying on the saint's extremely tenacious will, he resisted waves of attacks from the master.Under the influence of nature, complex insect paths, countless insect swarms, hideous organ structures... a lot of surrounding information is pouring into his mind.

The current situation can be seen as Saveri is desperately trying to clear the fog of war on the map, while Juggernaut is vigorously covering the shadows on the map.

After all, the Juggernaut's spiritual power has not reached the point of being crushed.Although in Saveri's senses, the Juggernaut brings full pressure as if Mount Tai is pressing down on the top, but in the Juggernaut's senses, Saveri is not a little mouse with a tight hand, constantly twisting and pulling out everything around him.

The "fog of war" in Saveri's perception was cleared away bit by bit, and finally, a complex, tall and majestic organic building appeared in the fringe area of ​​his perception - it was the insect swarm in the seven hatcheries of Chalus Territory. one of the
"I found it!" Saveri shouted, and his thoughts flowed. He did something that almost all elves had never done: forcibly disconnected himself from nature.

The decisiveness surprised the five saints present.

He wiped his nosebleed: "This way."
