Zerg in the crystal wall system world

Chapter 87 Embracing the Virus
Because the canopy covering the sky and the shield of air elements blocked the sight of the Euglena, and the zerg virus had not infected the core area of ​​the tree mother tribe for the time being, the master did not know about the conflict between the tree mother high priest and the saints in the tribe .

But the fluctuations in the time and space domain caused by the high priest of the tree mother destroying the channel were still captured by the eyeworm.

It's just a pity that because of the blood moon, the monitoring spells above the tree mother tribe are running all the time.The Euglena can only observe the tree mother tribe from a thousand kilometers away. Even with the assistance of a focusing structure at this distance, it is difficult to project psionic energy and interfere with their behavior.

It is not even possible to determine the state of the channel between the two worlds at this time.

Just when the Juggernaut was hesitating, whether to let the eye worm fight the risk of exposure to reduce the altitude, to determine what the elves did.

In the tree mother tribe, sudden drastic changes occurred.

The swarm virus, which was originally suppressed by the high-intensity "dispelling the plague", suddenly lost all restraints. The infection rate in the area half the size of a prefecture-level city, which was designated as a place of practice by more than 400 elves, was rapidly increasing.

Judging from the creep map, in just a few hours, all of them became red. Except for some key vegetation that has been activated over the years, a large number of animals and plants have become part of the swarm.

The master has even seen the tree of life of the tree mother tribe and the green phantoms of many elves in the state of mutual understanding and spirituality in the will of the hive.

But the strange thing is that with such a high infection rate, the local ecology did not collapse, but became more prosperous because of the high efficiency of the Zerg organization.

The master can feel that under the combing of the force of nature, the infected organisms did not show too deformed mutations, and the infected organisms did not show signs of central damage due to the conflict of the nervous system.

Everything seemed extremely "harmonious".

Under the Zerg virus, this kind of harmony is the biggest abnormality.

The master asked the mastermind of the hatchery to search for relevant information in the memory bank of the elves, but failed to find the relevant information.

After searching for a while and finding nothing worth mentioning, the master simply woke up Saveri.

Compared with other elves, he has a wider range of knowledge because he knows a "friend" who has a lot of knowledge.

Saveri pondered for a moment, and then gave his guess: "This should be the technique used by the Guardians to use the power of nature."

"Guardians? High elves?" With new keywords, the hatchery quickly found relevant information.

The Guardian School of Nature emphasizes order, the "stability" and "normality" of ecology, and believes that all living things have their own "place".

In the current situation, it is obvious that the tree mother tribe is consciously solidifying all aspects of the ecology.

For example, the responsibility of a tree in nature is to produce oxygen, produce organic matter, and provide habitat for some living things.

After being infected, its position is still locked on the "tree". Vegetal traits such as "full-spectrum photosynthetic protein", "reinforced fiber bundles", and "fine and dense ducts" in the virus will be released under the force of nature. Easier to express under action.On the contrary, animal-biased traits such as "digestive enzymes", "hydraulic joints", and "venomous stinging cells" will be suppressed.

In the same way, aggressive traits such as sharp claws and fangs are rarely shown in herbivores; defensive traits such as carapace and spines are also rarely shown in predators...

The Juggernaut now understands that the various life forms in the tribe, under the blessing of the force of nature, are selecting their own suitable traits from the gene pool of the Zerg virus.It is the animals and plants in another world trying to plunder the "essence" of the swarm under the blessing of natural magic.

No wonder Juggernaut felt that the situation of the tree mother tribe was somewhat familiar from the very beginning. The environment created by this "swarm essence" + "natural ecology" was very similar to Zerus, the place where the zerg originated.

However, the essence of the swarm is not so easy to get.

If it is an epic species, saint or other strong-willed people, when the power of the swarm is chaotic and the will of the swarm is not solidified.That can indeed pass through the power of infecting the prostitutes.

But for a group of ordinary animals and plants, if they actively transform into insects, they are really courting death.

Not to mention that after they are connected to the will of the hive, the master's psionic energy can flow unimpeded in their bodies.

Just a technology "wide-effect receptor protein" from the king worm can bring unparalleled strategic advantages to the swarm.

This protein structure on the cell surface can make the cells more dense and compact, and can greatly increase the tissue density.But once it receives the instructions from the king worm, it can quickly disperse the interconnected cell clusters.

This is the key gene for the king worm to quickly produce creep, and it is also the first target for the Zerg virus to insert after infecting plants. With it, a simple psionic signal can cause the activated infected tree to disintegrate by itself...

That is to say, these elves were still a little cautious and did not infect themselves and the tree of life with the virus, otherwise the battle could be declared over without a fight.

…………

The stupid behavior of the tree mother tribe suddenly embracing the virus was beyond the master's expectations.

Perhaps, the swarm should launch an attack earlier.

There are still five days before the blood moon actually arrives, and the power of the swarm has not yet reached its peak.

It's just that, as the distance from the blood moon gets closer and closer, the master has already vaguely been able to perceive other worlds from the sub-dimension.Perhaps, when the blood moon really comes, I can use psionic energy to open the wormhole and send the swarms to other worlds... I can end the battle early so that I can devote all my energy to the exploration of the sub-dimensional at that time, and also Not a bad thing.

After making up your mind.

The master simply gave the order.

Around the tree mother tribe, under the three alopecia areata creep areas, tens of millions of insect swarms woke up from energy-saving dormancy one by one.

At the same time, on the periphery of the tree mother tribe, there is a thick underground tunnel that allows three alienated dragons and lions to pass side by side. More than a hundred tunnel worms on standby opened their mouths full of sharp teeth and began to dig rapidly underground...

…………

evening.

Tree mother tribe border.

Revitalize the junction of forest and natural forest.

Fierce battles raged on every part of the long front.

The infected bodies all over the mountains dragged their slow pace, firmly moving towards the direction of the tribe.

With the help of creep and external brains, they have defeated countless tree spirits in the natural forest.

However, they were firmly blocked by these tree spirit guards awakened by the elves. Under the urging of the force of nature, the sharp wooden claws could easily tear apart the infected body's body.

But not a single drop of blood will flow from the corpse of the infected body.Instead, they were all transformed into simple creeps that continued to expand until they encountered node trees in the forest and were forcibly appeased.

There were not a few infected birds in the air, but the ancient wood guards in the jungle at the back used thrown stones to form an aerial firepower net, and did not let the infected birds get close at all.

The Tree Spirit, who already had the upper hand, added a new type of Tree Spirit Guard composed of tighter and more vibrant black root vines, and the scene fell into a one-sided state.

These tree spirit guards activated by alienated trees are much higher than ordinary tree spirit guards in terms of strength, agility, and physical strength.

They can even rush into the army of infected bodies, charge for a while and then come back.

As the entire elf tribe became more and more alienated, the proportion of black tree spirit guards also rose steadily, and the power of nature that the elves could mobilize also continued to increase.

Things seem to be getting better.

But right now.

The wandering infected body suddenly appeared blank for a moment.

Then, from the distant horizon, the ferocious sea of ​​insects that could hardly be seen at a glance swept towards the elf tribe with the momentum to devour everything.

The ancient wood guards threw boulders, but under the swarm of insects, it seemed as if water droplets were dripping on sand and dust, mixed into mud balls and rolled for a while, before being buried by the churning sand.

The tree spirit guards were engulfed as soon as they came into contact with them.

Although the ordinary tree spirit guard was overwhelmed by the springtails for the first time, he could still struggle for a while after all.

Those black tree spirits were extremely weak. Under the impact of the swarm, they were like tofu, and they collapsed as soon as they met each other.

The overwhelming swarm of insects rushed into the forest of the tree mother tribe, breaking through layers of vegetation like a bamboo, and killing the tree of life in the core area...
