Chapter 16: Oh Roar?
Thornra looked at Su Xiao suspiciously, not knowing why Su Xiao grabbed her head, but she wasn't worried that Su Xiao would hurt her, and even started to swing her body back and forth.
"How much do you know about that spar just now?"
Su Xiao looked at Thornra with a smile on his face, he felt that the situation might change a lot.
"We call it the Life Stone, it's ......"
Thornra began to explain to Su Xiao the purpose and origin of the [Condensed Crystal (Low Purity)], that is, the Life Stone.
Regarding the life stone, Thornra only knows part of it, this is a material that can only be produced by the hive above three stages, in layman's terms, it is to transform the 'biological energy' stored in the hive into a solid form, from liquid to solid, as for the rest, Thornra is not clear, her former Zerg queen has the habit of storing life stones.
Thornra had actually only been born for more than a month, and her understanding was very limited, but just through her preliminary explanation, Su Xiao roughly deduced the role of the Life Stone.
First of all, the Life Stone is a solid form of bioenergy, which is only produced from the hive of the third order or higher, and only the mother Zerg can absorb this thing.
In Su Xiao's view, the Life Stone is the currency, the currency between the Zerg mothers.
Su Xiao had discovered one thing before, the genetic memory that each Zerg mother can awaken is limited, and it is different, what should I do if I want to get the genetic memory of other mothers? Rob? It is simply unrealistic for mothers of the same rank to rob each other.
For example, after her hive devours the other living mothers, she can only obtain some of the other party's genetic memories, that is, get more Zerg classes or buildings.
Once the mother body is dead, there is no point in devouring the corpse.
If you want to obtain genetic memory, unless the mother voluntarily cultivates a special Zerg through 'eggification tissue', this kind of Zerg has no combat power, and even cannot walk, they have only one function, which is to be devoured by other hives and provide genetic memory.
The mothers call this kind of Zerg 'legacy individuals', and if they want to breed 'legacy individuals', the mothers need to pay a lot of price, and no mother is willing to provide other Zerg 'legacy individuals' for free.
As intelligent beings, the mothers solve the problem of exchanging or purchasing 'leftover individuals', and the Life Stone is the key to the transaction.
There are occasional transactions between mothers, so they have the habit of storing life stones, which is actually an insurance, once the hive is destroyed by accident, they can also escape with the accumulated life stones, and make a comeback in a short time.
It can be said that the emergence of the Life Stone is inevitable, currency has epoch-making significance for a race, and the Zerg are not just competing with each other, and the threat of the totem tribe has always been there.
"In other words, the higher the rank of the matrix, the more life stones are stored?"
Su Xiao and Bu Buwang looked at each other, and Bach on the side scratched his head with his wings, it felt that the three fourth-stage Zerg Mother Emperors were going to be unlucky.
"I don't know."
Thorn pulls back into her spacious new home, where she lies on the soft hive tissue.
"Baha, go and determine the location of those three fourth-stage hives."
Su Xiao took out the remote receiver and put it on Bu Buwang's neck.
"Oh roar~, before me... See a very large hive, at least a hundred meters high. ”
Baha's birdface gradually became unscrupulous.
"Where?"
Su Xiao lit a cigarette, if it went well, then it would be a bombardment, a crazy explosion.
"Karma, Karma!"
Baha motioned for Su Xiao to wait for a while, and after a moment, it continued:
"At the beginning, the grassland where we fought, wasn't the miners of the Apocalypse attacked by the Zerg, it was the worm nest, I just glanced at it casually, the worm nest was about 150 meters high."
"No wonder Apocalypse Paradise has killed more than a hundred people in a short period of time, Bubu, is there a problem."
"Wang (absolutely no problem)."
"Alright, Baha, you pick up Bubuwang near the hive, if there is any accident, you two will withdraw immediately."
"Understood."
Bahá tilted his head and motioned for Bubu to put it on its back.
A dog and a bird quickly flew away, and Su Xiao sat on the back of a mantis armor and took out a tablet.
……
Grey Mist Swamp.
"Kill them all!"
There was a roar, and the green-blooded Yaklo stood in the swamp, full of zergs everywhere he could see, and near Yaklo, there were still dozens of contractors of the Death Paradise side, and they were all red-eyed.
"Burst of flame!"
……
In the sabertooth forest, several sneaky figures were shuttling between the trees, their white faces were covered with mud, and these girls from the Holy Light Paradise frowned.
"Are you sure, the core of the world is around here?"
"Not sure, but as long as there's a one percent chance, we can't miss it."
"Speed up."
The girls quickly descended into the rainforest, and behind them, a blood-red python was silently moving forward.
……
The endless grassland is like a sea of green, because of the heavy rain just yesterday, the grass leaves are green, and the air is fresh.
Baha swooped down from the air, and Bubuwang, wearing windbreakers, leaped to his feet.
Bubu Wang landed and raised his head at Baha, who nodded and flew back into the air, helping Bu Buwang scout the environment from a high place, seemingly without communication, but in fact, the adventure group channels were about to be swiped by these two goods.
Baja: "South, 1250 meters, if I get any closer, I may be found." ”
Bubuwang: "Leave it to me." ”
Baha: "Be careful, if the fourth-stage mother has any strange abilities, notify me immediately, I will rush directly into the hive to meet you, and then whether you live or die, then it depends on luck." ”
Bu Buwang: "The perception of the Zerg is very average, and the Demon Clan has never seen it with more than 200 real attributes." ”
Baha: "Fraud. ”
Beni: "Meow meow? ”
Bu Bu Wang: "Scattered Fortune Cat." ”
Beni: "Erha. ”
……
Bu Buwang, who was integrated into the environment, ran briskly on the grassland, and near the base camp, Su Xiao held a tablet in his hand and was paying attention to the image that Bu Buwang fed back.
At this time, there is a black mark on the back of Su Xiao's hand, which is the spatial coordinate set by Bu Bu Wang, as long as Bu Bu Wang's traces are exposed, Su Xiao will be teleported over immediately, and then Su Xiao will fully open all kinds of abilities and try to kill the mother body of the fourth stage.
Of course, if you can successfully steal the Life Stone, you don't need to take this risk, the Mother Emperor of the fourth stage is not so easy to kill.
On the grassland, Bubuwang looked into the distance, where there was a huge insect nest, dark green overall, with a dense carapace on the outside, which reflected a metallic sheen in the sunlight.
When approaching the giant insect nest within 300 meters, Bu Buwang slowed down, there were too many Zerg around, conservatively estimated that there were dozens of species, as for the number, it was impossible to count, but hundreds of thousands were definitely there.
In the vicinity of the giant insect nest, there are more than a dozen Zerg buildings, these Zerg buildings are dozens of meters high, strange shapes, five of them, Bu Buwang just glanced, there is a feeling of abrupt hind legs.
It was definitely a defensive building, and the attack of those five buildings, it might not be able to withstand it even once, even if Su Xiao came, it would resist a few times at most.
Bubu grunted as it approached the giant hive at a very slow pace.
It took more than ten minutes for Bubuwang to complete the journey of more than 300 meters, and it stood at the entrance of the giant insect nest, which was seven meters wide and more than ten meters high.
As soon as Bu Buwang wanted to enter the giant insect hive, he found that the entrance of the giant insect hive was blocked by a large group of zergs that had never been seen before, these zergs were dormant, and their bodies were full of creature tentacles as thin as hair, and these tentacles more than ten meters long fluttered at will, completely blocking the entrance.
Ignoring the Zerg guards, Bubuwang's body became somewhat illusory, piercing directly through the outer walls of the hive.
Entering the inside of the giant hive, Bubuwang found that the structure here was a biological castle, with nearly 100 large and small nests and cave entrances.
After searching the giant hive for nearly an hour, Bubuwang finally found the Fourth-Stage Mother, a Zerg who was very similar to a human female, and she was lying asleep in a large pool.
The pool was filled with transparent liquid, and the Zerg Mother Queen floated in the liquid, and at the bottom of the pool, it was densely packed with life stones, each of which was the size of a fist, emitting a glowing green glow.
Bu Bu Wang stood at the edge of the pool, the soft biological tissue at his feet making it even more nervous.
After a few minutes of brewing, the tip of Bubuwang's claws poked into the transparent liquid, and its movements were so slow that it didn't even make a water streak.
"Who is it?"
The Zerg Mother's eyes opened, and they were blue eyes with pale red pupils.
Bu Buwang's body was planted, and his whole body was submerged in the colorless liquid, and it sank at a slow speed like a stone.
The Zerg Mother Queen changed from a lying position to an upright position, her eyes looking around, puzzled.
At this point, Bubuwang reached the bottom of the pool, and its paws touched a life stone, which immediately disappeared and was placed in the party's storage space.
One by one, when Bu Bu Wang put away the eleventh life stone, the Zerg Mother Emperor sank to the bottom of the pool, she sank down, and Bu Bu Wang had already poked his head out of the pool and climbed to the edge of the pool at a very slow speed.
Bubuwang quietly approached the outer wall of the hive, penetrated directly, and left the inside of the hive after a few seconds.
All the Zerg around the hive became irritable, and the Zerg Mother's confused emotions stimulated them.
Bubuwang returned the way he came, and as soon as he got out of the sea of worms, he fled, eager to install a pair of jet engines on his ass.
When Bubuwang rushed out of the two kilometers, Baha dived into a low altitude, and Bubuwang jumped onto Baha's back, after which a dog and a bird disappeared into afterimages.
In the giant insect nest, the Zerg Mother Emperor surfaced a transparent liquid with some confusion, just now, it seems that something has come.
……
Next to the insect nest in the base camp, Su Xiao took out a life stone from the storage space of the adventure group and handed it to Thornra.
"Ate it."
Thornra took the fist-sized life stone, her small hands barely able to grasp it, and when she opened her mouth to try it, her expression was visibly sluggish.
"I, I'll save it for next time."
Thornra was very self-aware this time, this life stone was too big for her to swallow.
