Chapter 513: Giant Spire

The three people went all the way up under the push of the current, and approached the surface in about 2 hours, and according to the number jù from the detector, the prescription position is now more than 3,000 meters away from the water surface.

Tang Fang was ready to summon the king worm as soon as he arrived at the mouth of the Long River, as long as the three of them drilled into it, according to the analysis of the real yàn done when he first came to "Akron", the underwater environment at a depth of 5,000 meters was not enough to bring harm to a large Zerg unit like the king worm.

At this moment, Emma sent an urgent message that a large AQBD-1 clonoid jellyfish community had been spotted 1,000 meters ahead.

This couldn't help but surprise him, the AQBD-1 asexual jellyfish living environment is a sea of strong acid on the surface of "Akron", and now this long river is obviously a freshwater environment, and the water pressure is extremely high, how do they overcome the thrust and enter the river against the current?

Emma told him that these jellyfish do not enter the river from the water spout connected to the ocean by the long river, but appear from the inside of the river and enter the sea of strong acid under the push of the flowing water.

This couldn't help but make him wonder even more about what "she" meant.

Emma sent a topographic profile showing where the AQBD-1 asexual jellyfish congregate and where they came from, a tributary.

In that topographic profile, the river has a fork 200 metres below the seabed, with the main channel still leading straight upwards to the acidic ocean, while the other fork is narrow, about 3 metres wide, and spreads diagonally upwards to the foot of a volcano in the nearby mid-ocean ridge area.

Tang Fang thought carefully for a moment and decided to go over to have a look, so he informed the two of them of the situation, swam to the stone wall not far from the bifurcated river to fix his body and prevent the water from washing away, and directed the detector to bypass the swarm of jellyfish-like bodies and enter the bifurcated river.

A few minutes later. An image of the scene came from the detector, and he ordered the two to wait while he left the stone wall and summoned another detector as an underwater submarine to bypass the cloud-like jellyfish-like bodies and enter the bifurcated river.

The water temperature gradually increases. As time passed, getting closer and closer to the foot of the volcano, after a few moments, at the end of the forked river, you entered a huge cave filled with fresh water and more than 100 meters high.

Tang Fang swam in the direction close to the crater, and in a moment's thought, he summoned a Protoss transport plane, and the dazzling light illuminated the dark underwater world at once, reflecting most of the cave water. An object on the innermost stone wall was shining with silver.

It was a huge shellfish, half embedded in a stone wall, half bare in the water, shaped like a velvet hat worn in winter, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with irregular gray spots on a silvery-white surface.

Stimulated by the bright light of the Protoss transport plane, the folded flesh tissue at the opening of the shellfish quickly retracted inward, biting like teeth. An AQBD-1 asexual jellyfish that had just been spit out of it was swallowed back.

It turns out that "Akron" not only has AQBD-1 asexual jellyfish and "dryads", but also such giant shellfish.

Since meeting the "Dryad". He has always believed that the acidic substances and many jellyfish in the strong acid ocean originated from the "dryad", but now it seems that this is not the case, and the AQBD-1 clonoid jellyfish is bred by the huge shellfish in front of him, which just confirms the sentence that "5000-8000 meters is the dense distribution area of AQBD-1 clonal jellyfish" when the "Akron" survey was made.

According to Emma's geological analysis of the rock formations around the cave, the giant shellfish in front of her lies between the volcanic mountain road and the long river channel. It is supposed to take advantage of the heat-resistant properties of shells, on the one hand, to absorb the high concentration of zero elements escaping from the crater through special organs, and on the other hand, to rely on the flow of water in the waterway to cool down and nourish the body, and to breed jellyfish-like bodies.

Tang Fang suddenly had a feeling of admiration for epic creatures such as the "Dryad" and the "Evil Eye", which were the most tenacious lifeforms in this universe. As long as the wandering planet has zero primes, it can survive.

Of course, admiration is admiration, he didn't want to be friends with these guys, and immediately summoned 4 fanatics to swim around the shell creatures and attack with psionic blades.

Compared to the "Dryad", the size of the shell creature is much smaller, only about 40 meters, but the hardness of the shell is not inferior to the stone armor on the surface of the "Dryad", and even surpasses it, and the psionic blade can only cause some slight scratches, and cannot submerge into the inside of the shell, which may also have something to do with the underwater environment.

The appearance of the psionic blade caused turmoil in the cavern, and a large amount of fresh water was evaporated, and the turbulent air currents formed a bubble storm that spread rapidly in all directions.

The shell creature opened its mouth at breakneck speed, and a milky shadow flickered, and the nearest fanatic was wrapped around his ankle and pulled into the crack in the shell, quickly closing.

After about a few breaths, Tang Fang found himself out of touch with the fanatic, presumably dead.

He was surprised, he thought that the fanatic would have to struggle and even cause some damage to the shell creatures, but he didn't expect to be wiped out in just a few breaths.

Goodo......

There was a muffled sound not far away, and the shell creature spit out the battle armor of the fanatic, Tang Fang had already burrowed into the Protoss transport plane, he didn't want to be like the fanatic, becoming the ration of the shell creature, but the fanatic could still leave relics such as battle armor, he was going to be swallowed, but he was afraid that there would be no bones left.

In the blink of an eye, another zealot was swept into the mouth of the shell creature, leaving only a pair of battle armor.

Commanding the Protoss transport plane to retreat to the entrance of the cave, he summoned another 1 Corruptor, spitting parasitic spores at the shell creatures, the result was similar to the fanatic's psionic blade, there was no effect, fortunately, the corruptor was large enough, and the shell creatures could not deal with the corruptor like the fanatic, although the milky white object shot out of the mouth was enough to pull the prey, but the speed was not fast enough, the acid saliva spewed by the corruptor entered the interior through the gap between the shells, causing a heavy blow to it, and the fanatic took the opportunity to swing the psionic blade, Cut the milky object in two.

At this time, Tang Fang finally saw the origin of the milky white object, which turned out to be a tissue with a flexible texture similar to mussel meat.

After this incident, the shell creatures are frightened and play the trick of shrinking. Don't dare to open your mouth lightly.

Tang Fang retracted the Corruptor, and after thinking about it for a moment, he gritted his teeth and got out of the Protoss transport plane, releasing more Zealots to attract the attention of the shell creatures in the front, and he detoured back to the innermost part of the cave and raised the high-frequency sword from the hands of the Blood Wolf Warriors. Inject a large number of electrons that oscillate at the speed of light, and insert them forcefully.

The bubbles erupted, and the water molecules around the high-frequency sword "evaporated" at once, and the arc of the sword's fluctuating arc drilled a crack on the surface of the hard shell, and the high-frequency sword more than a meter long was like a knife piercing sandpaper, making a piercing sound, and the sound became even more dull in the water.

The high-frequency sword passed, the water vapor surged, and the shell cracked. He forcibly opened a 2-meter-diameter "skylight" above the head of the shell creature.

When the shell was dented under the action of the water pressure, through the skylight, two dim red lights could be seen in the dark space inside the shell, as if a pair of bloody eyes were staring at him.

Throwing the high-frequency sword to a fanatic, he moved away from the shell creatures as fast as he could, holding on to the tail of a corruptor and swimming at maximum speed towards the mouth of the cave.

Meanwhile. One after another, poisonous explosions appeared around the shell creatures, and fell into the shells through the "skylight" driven by the current.

Puff puff......

There was a hoarse muffled sound in the water. The current was stirring again, and wisps of green escaped from the shell skylight, like green silk floating in the water, accompanied by a large number of bubbles spreading around.

After about three or five breaths, the tightly closed shell slowly opened, and the tightened flesh tissue inside became relaxed and relaxed. A wisp of green liquid spilled out and drifted out.

A few fanatics tried a little, grabbed two shells and turned them open, and a large amount of green biological acid solution dispersed like mist.

Obviously, the shell creatures don't have the super-fast regeneration ability of the Dryad. A large number of poisonous blast insects can kill it, because its structure is more inclined to mollusks, the shell is hard, but the body is very weak, and the number of zero element particles in the crater is far less than the zero element veins distributed in the strata, not only can not provide huge energy for it to grow into an epic creature like the "dryad", but also cannot maintain high-speed regeneration for a long time.

Knowing that the shell creature was dead, Tang Fang breathed a long sigh of relief, and waited for the acidic substance released by the explosion of the poisonous explosion insect to drop to a level that the harsh environment protective suit could withstand before putting away the corrupt person and swimming close to the corpse of the shell creature.

The detector hidden in the corner turned on the lighting equipment, shining on the rotten flesh that resembled the snail body inside the shell that opened at a 30-degree angle, and he found that the shell creature was very long, not only 40 meters like the bare shell part, its front half of its body was milky white, its mouthparts resembled worms, and it had a pair of dark red eyes, and its back half of its body went deep into the stone wall and extended to the volcanic mountain road, estimated to be more than 100 meters.

He held on to the inner wall of the shell and walked to a part that was not contaminated with the body fluids of the poisonous explosive insect, and reached out to press it.

"Unknown DNA sequence detected, diagnostics initiated ......"

"The diagnosis is complete, and the adaptability is confirmed."

"Recombine the gene structure, gene level A, research tree unlocked, technology level 3, unlock the building 'Giant Spire'."

"Life energy collection completed, quantity 3000, rare element collection completed, quantity 2000."

Tang Fang thought that this time it would be the turn of the giant spire to be unlocked, because the shell creatures can hatch the AQBD-1 asexual jellyfish body, which is somewhat similar to the characteristics of the nest insect lord, until it is confirmed, he is still a little happy, he didn't expect that the trip to "Akron" will have such a big harvest, 3 bases and giant spires have been unlocked, and the interstellar 2 insect building is completely unlocked with only the last thunder beast cave left.

Put your consciousness into the system space Zerg base, select the "Spire", press the hotkey of the "Mutant Giant Spire", and after a few seconds, the vesicles burst, and the hideous giant spire appears on the fungus carpet.

The completion of the "Giant Spire" represents the unlocking of the Zerg's strongest aerial unit, the Hive Insect Lord (commonly known as the Great Dragon), in PvP mode.

This large, ray-shaped flying creature is an aerial siege unit for swarms. The Hive Insect Lord only appears in large battles, attacking targets with the spitting out biosymbiotes. These spitting creatures will besiege their target until they are torn apart or they die. This type of attack makes the Hivelord a great threat to the building facility. However, despite his impressive attack capabilities, the Hive Insect Lord is vulnerable to his own devices, and is helpless against most aerial units.

The Hivelord is made up of 4 key structures:

1. Nest Cyst: The Corrupter's tentacles are carcinous and evolve into luminous orbs on the back of the Nest Lord. Genetic alterations allow these sacs to hatch quickly into large numbers of nests. These small creatures can both modulate the functions of certain creatures of the Hive Lord, and can also be used as living cannonballs.

2. Spiked Tail: The tail structure of the Hive Insect Lord, including the spikes, is grown from the Corruptor's balance sac. It functions like a giant gyroscope that can be used to maintain balance and orient itself. This tail structure directly connects to the Nest Lord's sensory organs, further enhancing the ability to locate targets.

Three, Deadly Offspring: There are a large number of nest insects restless under the carapace of the nest lord all the time. During combat, the Hive Lord accelerates the Nest Bugs' aggressiveness and metabolism, transforming them into short-lived but powerful air-to-ground weapons. It can easily destroy soldier armor and mechanical armor.

Fourth, sensory organs: The bone spurs at the front of the flanks of the nest lord have an evolved glandular system that can release and receive high-frequency electronic impulses. Each pulse emits a huge sphere electric field from the organism's body, enveloping the surrounding and the target in bioelectric energy. The nest lord's keen sensory glands are then collected and processed. During the long flight of space, the glands have mutated and can detect the source of radiation, electromagnetic forces, and light.

In addition to the passive skill "Worm Seed" in the later version of the Heart of the Swarm, the Hive Insect Lord also added the "Berserk" passive skill, which can be immune to slowdown, stun, mind control, and displacement effects.

The cost of the Hive Lord's cost is not visible in the Larval Mutation menu. This kind of 3 flying units are mutated from the corruptor, Tang Fang immediately selected a corruptor, and sure enough, he saw that the "mutation to nest insect lord" behind the "corruption" skill has been highlighted, and the resource consumption is 150 crystals, 150 gas, and the population occupies +1.

At first, he was a little puzzled, but the cost of the Nest Worm Lord was actually not doubled, but the population occupation was reduced from +2 to +1 (1 Nest Worm Lord actually occupied 3 population). Later, I remembered that the Hive Worm Lord was mutated from the Corruptor, and when the Corruptor was hatched, it had already consumed 4 times the amount of game resources. It would be unfair if the Mutant Nest Insect Lord also doubled several times.

The Hive Insect Lord is unlocked, which means that the Zerg troops have a ground attack weapon, which can make up for the shortcomings of the Corruptor's inability to attack the ground and the Wyvern's difficulty in inflicting powerful damage on heavily armored vehicles, just imagine. If you use the Hiveworm Lord to fight a ground attrition battle with the Swarm Host, how sour the enemy will be.

Tang Fang suddenly felt a little regretful, how good it would be if the nest insect lord had already been unlocked when he encountered Black 3, the overwhelming insect tide could scare him to death.

After inspecting the newly unlocked units, I suddenly remembered Abbather. So choose the main nest and press the hotkey in the hero bar, and Abasser's unlock progress reaches 68%, and the increase is 23.

Because the "Dryad" didn't check the unlock value immediately after his death, he didn't know what the unlock value of the two was, but according to the current situation, at most 3 more DNA absorption events would reach 100%.

Thinking that this trip to "Akron" was very fruitful, several hours had passed, and if it was delayed any longer, Tang Yun and the others were not in a hurry, and the people on the scientific research space station should also be suspicious, so they ordered the nurse MM to collect tissue samples of shell creatures, take back the fanatics, and swim back to the main stream of the long river along the waterway.

Zhou Ai and Roy waited honestly in place, and when they saw him come out, they immediately kicked on the stone wall, surrounded him, and let the flowing water push their bodies up quickly.

During the period, he was asked why he had spent a long time and what was in the cave at the end of the tributary, and Tang Fang gave a brief introduction to the storage of shell creatures.

After hearing this, Roy was secretly glad that he didn't go with him, in case he was swallowed by a monster, he would never see Yingluo again, what a pity...... He also planned to return to the Hercules transport plane and tell Miss Sù in detail what happened to "Akron", lest she drive him out to see the world in the future.

In his thoughts, the three of them were already close to the confluence of the Long River and the ocean, and Tang Fang rushed out first and released the king worm as soon as possible.

Because the groundwater is sprayed upwards to disperse the nearby acidic substances, the water around the spout has no corrosive effect, and the three people easily burrow into the abdominal sac of the king worm and quickly climb upward.

The water pressure at a depth of several thousand meters could not cause damage to the king insect, and the acidic substances of the ocean could only cause some minor damage, and after about a few minutes, a huge splash rose on the turquoise sea, and the bloated body of the king insect broke through the water and rose into the sky.

Finally returned to the blue sky from the oppressive underground space, although the three of them did not speak, but they all breathed a sigh of relief, Tang Fang remembered that there is a profession in the world called miners, they use their lives day after day, year after year, to dye GDP into blood, and these wealth piled up with flesh and blood may become luxury cars speeding on the road, may become bags under the wrists of beautiful women, or may become mountains of banknotes in the homes of high-ranking officials.

His parents in this world are such miners.

Most of the people in Garcia's rebels are like this miners - miners at the bottom of society, no one will fight for their rights, no one will cry out for their treatment.

In the Monya Empire, in the Sulu Empire, in the Phoenix Empire, "humanism" is just a word, and can only be a word! (To be continued......)
