In a bird's-eye view of the sky, these nests are not big, in fact, this nest is very, very large, the small one is more than 500 meters, nearly two kilometers long, if it weren't for Zou Chuan having seen the nest, he didn't believe that this was the nest of colorful shell insects, it was too big.

Moreover, the distance between the nests is at least 500 meters.

A few people turned the insect nest, and there was an open area in front of them, Zhao Lie seemed to be very familiar with the environment here, and immediately stopped after turning the corner.

The silver moonlight shone generously over the desert, and the huge shadows of the colorful shell insect nests cast on the ground, on the open sand and gravel in the distance. The two slender soft bodies were approaching each other, and the "rustling" sound of rubbing was the sound of the soft body moving on the ground. The two soft-bodied bodies are pink in color, somewhat like human tongues, with a mucous membrane on the surface.

Finally.

The front ends of the two moving soft bodies touched, first tentatively touched, and then twisted into a sphere, which twitched incessantly.

Look at the two entangled pieces of software. Zou Chuan was vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"What's that?" Zou Chuan asked in a low voice.

"It's the mother of the spotted shellworm mating. The climatic conditions of the Great Desert of Death are ideal for mating with colorful shell females, no matter where the colorful shell worms are. They will all return to the Great Desert of Death to mate, and after mating, the hives will have a period of rest, and after resting, these hives will leave ......"

"Can't the female worms in the hive reproduce without mating?" Zou Chuan was a little puzzled, because there should be a female worm in every insect nest, even if it was said, there should be no need for the existence of male and female children. There is no need to travel all the way back to Gallon Star to breed.

"Yes, every nest is hermaphroditic, but in order to avoid too frequent inbreeding, every once in a while, the nest will return to the Great Desert of Death to find other nest mothers to mate." Zhao Lie explained.

Zou Chuan nodded, this is a highly evolved intelligent life, they have not only mastered the ability of interstellar migration, but also mastered the scientific method of reproduction.

From Zhao Lie's introduction, Zou Chuan knew some secrets of the colorful shellworm, in the gallon empire, the colorful shellworm is the largest race except humans, called the Zerg by humans, with a primary intelligent life, meat as the staple food, a small amount of Zerg devours rare metals, will not raise animals, strong fecundity, strong attack, social social animals. However, the people of Gallon didn't know that the Colorful Shellworm also had the ability to migrate from the stars.

The task of the insect king is to lay eggs. The secretion of the king insect hormone can inhibit the ovarian development of the worker worm. It also affects the behavior of workers in the hive and formulates the order in the hive.

In addition to the work of breeding and commanding, the insect king mainly provides enough food for interstellar travel, and its fat body stores the nutrient liquid decomposed from meat, and is full of meat holes, which male and worker insects can suck through straws.

The Bug King has a very special spiritual power, this spiritual power can find space jump points, it can contact other Zerg ships in the interstellar through its spiritual power, and provide information for male insects and worker insects, and give orders.

In a female nest, there are a large number of ranks, and the one under the insect king is called the male girl, that is, the black colorful shell insect with dazzling golden markings that Zou Chuan saw. The number of male insects is relatively rare, and in addition to mating with the queen, they also shoulder the responsibility of protecting the insect king, which is equivalent to the close guard of the insect king, and it eats rare metals in addition to eating meat. They play a vital role in creating nests capable of interstellar travel. This is because they are able to spit out a kind of wire similar to silk, making it the simplest propeller. Therefore, although they do not hunt, they must enter the planet under the protection of a large number of highest-level workers in search of rare metals.

The common colorful shellworm is called the worker insect, and the task of the worker insect is mainly to collect food, feed the larvae, secrete a kind of colloidal filament to build a flying nest, secrete Jiang to clear the nest, protect the nest and attack the enemy. The work in the hive is basically done by the workers.

The lifespan of worker insects is generally three to ten years. In the cold season, the insect is less active, and the number of insect workers is determined by the prosperity of the insect colony.

Worker insects are mainly used to protect male insects from predation, and they are the highest level of worker insect protection.

Zerg have a common trait, the darker the color, the stronger they are, however, the more powerful the Zerg, the less likely they are to move. Only when the foreign enemy is too strong will some powerful Zerg appear. And the younger the Zerg, the more active they are. Moreover, during the growth period, the food is amazing, and the mother worm is provided with a huge amount of food while filling its own belly, so the worker insect hunting is particularly crazy.

Females only borrow food for males and workers during interstellar journeys, in case of insufficient food. The mother will cut off the food supply of the young workers, and only feed the high-level males and workers

Workers are graded every five years, with the lowest grade being juvenile males, after which the larvae change from colorful and vivid colors to gray, and after another five years, gray evolves to pure black

Worker Insect Level 1: Colorful!

Worker Bug Level 2: Dark Gray!

Male Insect Level 3: Pure black, heavy and oppressive.

Male first-class: silvery-white.

Male Grade II: Bright golden.

Male insect level 3: black with golden spots, very similar to worker insect level 3, much larger and self-sufficient, not easy to move.

From the mouths of Zhao Lie and Fuji Qianqiu, Zou Chuan knew a lot of secrets, and it was obvious that the humans of the Gallon Empire also had a deep and extensive study of this powerful neighbor.

Zhao Lie knew that the insect hive could fly, but they didn't know that the insect hive could actually fly out of outer space.

It's a powerful race.

"Is there any way to destroy them?" Zou Chuan went straight to the point.

"Destroy them?!"

Zhao Lie and Teng Qianqiu both stared at Zou Chuan with a blank expression.

"Questions?!"

"It's a big problem......

Fuji Chiaki once again spoke of the grievances and grievances between the early human race and the Colorful Shell Worm, when the human race began to enter this planet, it was a century-long war with the Colorful Shell Worm, and hundreds of masters dispatched by the human race hunted the Colorful Shell Worm throughout the continent, trying to exterminate this powerful animal.

"Very badly, although this strangulation has caused a sharp decrease in the number of colorful shellworms, it has allowed humans to poke hornet's nests. The reproductive ability of the Spotted Shellworm suddenly accelerated, and humans were invincible, and the evolutionary ability of the Spotted Shellworm became faster and faster, from larvae to war insects, and then to high-level silver Spotted Shellworms to black Spotted Shellworms with dazzling golden markings, the time was almost halved, and finally, humans had to give up...... However, the strange thing is that when humans stopped hunting, the fecundity of the colorful shellworms suddenly decreased again...... After hunting several times in this way, human beings have figured out a rule, that is, the colorful shell insects seem to have an instinctive reaction, and when the population encounters the blow of an external force, it will have a sense of crisis, and a large number of breeding offspring ......"

"The consequences of multiplying offspring in large numbers are terrible, and at the peak of the continent there are some young colorful shellworms......"

"Mouse!" Zou Chuan sighed and inexplicably pronounced two words.

"What is a mouse?" Fuji Chiaki was stunned.

"One of the toughest animals in the Human Alliance." Zou Chuan sighed again, no matter how far human science and technology have developed. There is always no way to take the mouse, and the mouse follows wherever the human footsteps go, and when the human spaceship advances into the depths of the universe, the mouse also finishes this goal.

"Amazing?!" Teng Qianqiu and Zhao Lie's hearts skipped a beat, and they said in unison.

If there is an animal that has more vitality than the colorful shellworm, it is enough to attract anyone's attention.

"It's not powerful, it's not as powerful as the colorful shellworms. Only the fist of a human is the size of a human fist, however, there is no end to killing. ”

Fuji Qianqiu and Zhao Lie let out a long sigh of joy.

At this moment, the tangled soft body slowly shrank back into the female nest. Suddenly, there was a pause at the moment when the soft body entered the hole.

"Oh no, run!"

Zhao Lie was startled, retreated suddenly, and ran towards the desert frantically.

"Ah......h

Fuji Qianqiu and Aopu's reaction was slightly slower, and they opened their mouths to look at Zhao Lie, who had fled in vain, while Zou Chuan had already followed Zhao Lie and swept towards the desert in the first place.

Zou Chuan and Zhao Lie belong to the same kind of people, and they have a natural intuition for danger, while Fuji Qianqiu is strong in martial arts, but, after all, he has not been tempered, and Zou Chuan and Zhao Lie are much worse than them. He was a rookie at all, and this was the first time he had gone deep into the desert, and in the past, he had wandered around the edge of the desert, hoping to try his luck and pick up some bones of corpse birds.

"Sand ......"

A soft body suddenly rose and swept towards Fuji Chiaki and Opple, and the empty crowd seemed to ripple in circles. The momentum is terrifying.

"Run!" Teng Qianqiu is still strong in martial arts in the end, although he is one step slower than Zhao Lie Zou Chuan. But he still reacted, and suddenly kicked on the edge of the hive, and his body flew up, and in the middle of running, he didn't forget to remind Op who was in a daze.

"Ah......h

Unfortunately, it was too late, and the hundreds of meters long soft body rolled towards Op like a sharp arrow. Opple's body, which was just about to run reflexively, was suddenly picked up by the soft volley, and let out a terrible scream...... There was no suspense, Opp's strong body was dragged towards the hive by the soft body like lightning and thunder.

"......Help, sir," Opple cried out in horror for help.

"Peng!"

Zou Chuan's body suddenly stopped, and his feet were pressed on the yellow sand, bringing up a cloud of sand mist.

"Hurry up, this is the hive, the king of insects is the most dangerous during estrus, and his ability is not low." Zhao Lie also stopped.

Zou Chuan's movements did not stop, the purple core bow was already in his hand, and he bent the bow and arrows......
