Chapter 195: Hatching the Brood

Just when Carl was still a little hesitant, Phoenix in his body suddenly spoke: "Boy, agree to that bug's request!" ”

"No, but wouldn't it be bad if she and her people grew and were beyond my control?"

Carl said with some surprise, thinking that Phoenix might not understand his current concerns.

Phoenix laughed disdainfully, and then said, "Aren't you just afraid that she will get out of your control and then lead her swarm to fight back against humans?" Don't worry, I'll teach you a trick and keep her obedient! ”

According to Phoenix's instructions, Carl and the insect mother Irelia communicated with each other, and the green light flashed, and the insect mother Irelia suddenly appeared in Carl's body.

This is the first time she has been free from Carl's body since she declared her allegiance to him.

When she left, Carl only felt as if he was missing some of the strength in his body, and inexplicably felt a little empty.

And what surprised Carl the most was that when the worm mother Irelia broke away, the biological energy that had been replenished to him intermittently also stopped being supplied at this time......

At the thought of Irelia the worm mother incubating the brood in this garbage dump, Carl could only sigh secretly, this time the loss was too big!

Not only did he lose the ability to command the swarm that the insect mother Irelia brought to him, but he also lost the biological energy that was constantly replenished.

Although there are not many mosquitoes, no matter how small they are, they are still meat, as long as there is a supply and demand of those biological energy, Carl can save a lot of time to help him advance faster.

Irelia didn't know what Carl's current attitude was, and after being summoned, she still stood in place, quietly waiting for Carl's orders.

Compared to more than a month ago, the insect mother Irelia has not only become stronger, but even the carapace on her surface has become thicker.

It seems that she stayed in Carl's body, not only benefited Carl a lot, but even herself, she also gained a lot of benefits.

"Irelia, I agree that you want to hatch a brood in this area, but because you must leave me and stay in this place...... In order for us to be able to keep in touch in the future, I need to apply a layer of 'Fire Phoenix Seal' to you. ”

Carl looked at the insect mother Irelia with a serious gaze and said, although this fire phoenix seal was ostensibly something to keep Carl in touch with the insect mother Irelia.

But in fact, in Phoenix's words, once she planted her own Fire Phoenix Seal, as long as she dared to be disobedient and her mind moved, the Fire Phoenix Flame could burn everything she had in an instant.

With this layer of assurance, what else does Carl have to worry about?

Although Irelia didn't know the true effect of the Fire Phoenix Seal, she also knew that the "Fire Phoenix Seal" that Carl had placed on her was definitely not just for keeping in touch!

But this large garbage dump is too tempting for her! It's like being in the middle of the desert and suddenly seeing an oasis, and the attraction is immediately outrageous.

So in order to get the opportunity to hatch the brood in this garbage dump, even if it was planted by Carl with the "Fire Phoenix Seal", she did not hesitate!

"Master, I accept your conditions!" After thinking about it, Irelia the worm mother decisively agreed to Carl's request.

Karl gave Irelia a deep look and sighed. Following Phoenix's instructions, he stretched out his right hand and slowly pressed it against Irelia's body.

"Fire Phoenix Seal!" Carl let out a low snort, and a dazzling red light suddenly appeared on his palm.

These fire phoenix energies quickly surged along Karl's right palm to the body of the insect mother Irelia, out of the natural fear of flames of the Zeg Zerg, Irelia suddenly began to tremble with fear after feeling the fire phoenix energy in Carl's palm.

With the accumulation of fire phoenix energy, under the control of Carl, a fire phoenix symbol glowing red was deeply engraved on the body of the insect mother Irelia.

Feeling the burning pain coming from the shell, the insect mother Irelia wanted to struggle, but the energy in the fire phoenix seal was so terrifying that she could only stay where she was, not daring to show any signs of disobedience.

Fortunately, Carl didn't have to cast the Fire Phoenix Seal for too long, and before the insect mother Irelia's mind was about to collapse in a daze, he successfully completed the engraving of the Fire Phoenix Seal.

"Whew...... It's finally over! Karl withdrew his right hand a little tiredly, looked at the equally exhausted insect mother Irelia, and said helplessly.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Carl's right palm, as well as the fire phoenix mark on the insect mother Irelia, a flash of red light appeared at the same time.

Illuminated by the red light, Carl could clearly feel that he had once again established a conscious connection with the insect mother Irelia.

In addition, the biological energy transmitted by the insect mother Irelia was also connected again at this time!

Irelia, who was a little tired, also felt this obvious change at this time, and immediately said to Karl: "Master, you can try to summon the insect swarm through the 'Fire Phoenix Seal'. ”

Carl nodded, stretched out his right hand towards the open space in front of him, and with a movement of his mind, a green light flashed in the fire phoenix seal, and several jumping insects quickly appeared in front of him.

"Hahaha, it's really possible! In that case, even if Irelia stays in the back garden to hatch the brood, I still have the same abilities as before! ”

At this point, Karl really doesn't have a problem with Irelia's desire to hatch a brood in the garbage dump.

It can ensure that Irelia is always under her control, and she will not lose those abilities because of Irelia's separation.

It was just perfect!

And after getting Carl's authorization, the insect mother Irelia couldn't wait to wave her tentacles, and in the green light flashing, three or two worker bees appeared.

That's right, it's the kind of worker bee that Carl once killed, except for carrying items, without any attack ability!

"Irelia, what are you going to do at this time, summoning these worker bees?" Karl followed behind Irelia with some curiosity.

"Master, the biological buildings of our Zeg Zerg, including the hive, are all hatched by worker bees."

"The worker bees hatch into a hive, and the hive hatches into a variety of other species of Zeg Zerg, which is the most basic social structure of the Zeg Zerg."

"I see...... So for you Zeg Zerg, the most basic and important thing is actually this most inconspicuous worker bee? ”

The insect mother Irelia nodded in agreement, looked at the clearing in front of her, and immediately screamed, and the three worker bees swam over quickly.

Under Karl's gaze, the three worker bees each stood in one place, and then their entire bodies slowly crawled on the ground, and then began to squirt countless bodily fluids from their backs to the surrounding areas!

These bodily fluids are viscous and hard, and in a short period of time, they quickly intertwine into a cocoon of no small area!

"Is that it?" Carl asked curiously, it was the first time he had seen the process of the Zeg Zerg hatching the brood.

The insect mother Irelia waved her tentacles, and there were more than a dozen Zeg Zerg beside her, and there were not only jumping insects, six-legged beetles, but also powerful species such as poisonous dragon stinging snakes, ground thorn beasts, and snake-like insects.

With a strange cry from the Mother Irelia, the swarms began to spread out into the garbage dump.

Noticing Carl's puzzled expression, Irelia took the initiative to explain, "Master, the brood is extremely fragile during hatching, and these are necessary defensive ......"

Carl nodded knowingly, "And how long does it take to hatch?" Because this cocoon doesn't look very big...... As far as I can remember, the hives I saw were all huge! ”

"Master, the hive will always be kept in a cocoon state until it hatches. Moreover, after hatching, the hive will also produce more evolutionary behaviors as the amount of biological energy collected. ”

"Every evolution represents an increase in the capabilities of the hive...... Judging from the current situation, this hive only needs to evolve about 2 times to meet the conditions for summoning thunder beasts! ”

"Really? I thought it might take longer, but I didn't expect that the hive only needs to evolve twice to meet the conditions for summoning thunder beasts......"

Carl muttered in his mouth, and now, he finally knew why the strength of the Zeg Zerg was always so Zerg.

In Irelia's words, a basic swarm like a jumping worm can hatch hundreds of beehives in almost 10 minutes, and as for the evolved hives, they can only be counted in a thousand in minutes.

When Carl heard this, his whole face showed a shocked expression. If you really want to hatch a swarm at this rate, then in a few days, the surface of the entire planet Lolan will be completely covered by jumping insects......

Fortunately, Irelia then explained, "Master, the scenario you have in mind is almost impossible to achieve. ”

"Although the speed at which our Zeg Zerg hatch swarms is indeed very fast, it does not mean that it does not require effort to create these swarms. In fact, every time a batch of insects hatches, even the lowest-level jumping insects consume the corresponding amount of biological energy. ”

So that's it...... Carlton felt a toothache, and now he finally understood why the Zeg Zerg needed to randomly invade other planets throughout the universe.

Reproduction is the innate instinct of all living things.

In the case of the Zeg Zerg, reproduction also means hatching, and each time a Zeg Zerg hatches, a certain amount of biological energy will be consumed.

These bio-energies can only be formed by transforming various harvests from worker bees.

In other words, these hatched Zeg Zerg are actually all kinds of resources on each invaded planet.

Whether it is water, sand, ore, or all kinds of debris accumulated in the garbage dump now, for the Zeg Zerg, it is "food" that can be converted into bioenergy......

Thinking of this, Carl once again felt fortunate that he had the skill of the Fire Phoenix Seal.

Comparatively speaking, the swarm under Irelia's hands is definitely lucky. Because they are able to own all the resources of the garbage dump on their own.

On the other hand, all the Zeg swarms outside the northern front need to compete with their own kind.

Even if they are of the same race, they either kill each other to get enough food when they are not fed......

Either that, you can only move the planet again and set off for the next "ingredient" stockpile.

After figuring out the ins and outs of this, Carl suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

Are you going to say that the Zeg Zerg is at fault? From the perspective of the indigenous humans of the planet Loland, they are naturally heinous and occupy the role of invaders.

But for the Zeg Zerg Clan, I have to eat when I'm hungry, and when the food is not enough, do I have to stay where I am and wait for death?

People die for money, birds die for food, and the Zeg Zerg wander around the entire universe for food, seeming to ...... Do they also have the "righteousness" to do so?
