Chapter Forty-Eight, Goal, The Sea
Under the tenth peak of Guangming Mountain, the insect nest has expanded at full speed in the past two days, and the scale has become more targeted again. The height has reached 200 meters, and the tenth peak, which is not high, has been completely occupied by insect nests.
"Xiao Jia, come and eat them." Chu He brought in all the poison and let Xiao Jia devour it.
These are all top-layer poisons of the earth's bugs, and any one of them can easily kill a sturdy adult with their toxicity and aggression.
As long as they have their genes, Xiao Jia can create the most poisonous bug on the entire planet.
Under Chu He's orders, Xiao Jia quickly ate these insects. It is worth mentioning that when Xiao Jia devoured them, he did not need to use his mouthparts to eat, but used his eight legs to insert into the body of these insects, and in an instant, these insects dried up, leaving only a layer of skin.
After Xiao Jia devoured these insects, he was obviously very excited, and streams of consciousness were constantly transmitted to Chu He, all of which were insect soldier evolution plans in different directions.
Taking the fire ant as an example, after a person is bitten by this ant, there will be a pain like being burned by the fire, followed by blisters, and in severe cases, it will even lead to shock death.
The small nail can directly create a new species with fire red ants as the main body and mixed with the characteristics of other insect toxins. Like the bug, the toxins of these two creatures are mixed, and the effect is by no means as simple as one plus one.
"Don't worry, there's something else here."
Chu He appeased Xiao Jia's restlessness, as the mother of insects, mixed creation of insect soldiers aggression is a symbol of Xiao Jia's deep genes, but under the suppression of Chu He, the aggressiveness was temporarily suppressed.
Chu He took out an empty test tube from the system space. It contains the strongest life on the surface, the tardigrades.
"Squeak!"
The moment Chu He took out the test tube, Xiao Jia screamed excitedly as if he smelled a shark with a fishy smell. It felt the strength of the creature in the test tube, not in terms of combat power, but only in terms of vitality, and the power was like a fiery fireball, which had a fatal attraction to Xiao Jia.
In fact, water bears are not uncommon, and they can be found all over the world. It's just that a single tardigrade is too small, almost invisible to the naked eye, and usually doesn't move much, staying in moss and other places, so that Xiao Jia has not felt that there are tardigrades around him for so long by the scorpion's side.
And in the test tube of the Chu River, there are thousands of tardigrades. Gathered so densely in the test tube, Xiao Jia immediately felt their vitality.
"Squeak!"
As soon as Chu He let go, Xiao Jia immediately snatched the test tube away, lying on the test tube like an addict, and all eight legs and limbs stretched in a strange posture, and from time to time he let out a comfortable "squeak".
After a few minutes, Xiao Jia reluctantly stretched out his foot from the test tube. Thousands of tardigrades have been absorbed by it.
"It's just bugs, do you need to be so excited?" Chu He watched it reluctantly playing with the test tube there, as if looking for a lone tardimire, and couldn't help but laugh and scold.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Hearing Chu He's words, Xiao Jia hurriedly raised a few legs, made a sound, as if he was justifying, and finally held the test tube, and his two eyes turned out to be annoying at Chu He.
Subsequently, a piece of consciousness was transmitted to Chu He's brain, which was Xiao Jia's praise of the food of the water bear and the analysis of the water bear gene.
"Parsing failed?"
Chu He was a little surprised, Xiao Jia was the mother of ten thousand insects, the mother of the Zerg who was afraid of half of the universe, and the analysis failed.
"Squeak, squeak!"
Xiao Jia came to his consciousness again, to the effect that there were two unique shackles in the genes of the water bear, some of which were similar to the spiritual power structure of the Chu River, which made Xiao Jia a little powerless. At the same time, water bears belong to medium life forms, and the small nails are still in the juvenile stage, so it is difficult to analyze.
"Is that so?" Chu He bit the corner of his mouth and thought, there are two shackles similar to spiritual power in the genes of the water bear?
All in all, this was the fifth time he had encountered something about a cultivator. The sealed blood beads at home, tortoise shell pieces, the true spirit of the robbing powerhouse, half of the ancient book, and water bears.
Once upon a time, there must have been a splendid and glorious Xiuzhen civilization on the earth. It's just that I don't know why, it's gone. It may be related to the Zerg, because the true spirit of the Crossing Tribulation powerhouse said that Xiao Jia is an extraterrestrial demon, and it may also be the reason for the Heavenly Dao of this world, so that the cultivator cannot perform the Dao method in front of ordinary people......
"Water bears are medium-life genes, that's why you're so excited, Xiaojia, so what level is the gene of ordinary humans?" Chu He asked.
"Squeak, squeak."
"Lower level? What about me? And the true spirit of the powerful man you absorbed? ”
"Squeak, squeak!" At the mention of the true spirit of the robber powerhouse, Xiao Jia was even more excited, and wanted to eat another one.
"Can't parse my genes!" Chu He felt Xiao Jia's spiritual power consciousness, and scolded with a smile: "Are you a corrupt person who crosses the robbing powerhouse, you can eat it if you want!" ”
Rare and special lifeforms. This is Xiao Jia's evaluation of the true spirit of the strong man who crossed the tribulation. And Chu He's own genes can't be analyzed, which should be because of the system.
Thinking of this, Chu He couldn't help but open the system panel.
There is still only one host on the golden light screen, and the standing painting of the host Chu River is on it, and the column next to it is the backpack interface. Two golden chains were wrapped around and sealed.
Chu He had a faint intuition that when he grew to the level of a first-level civilization powerhouse, the system might not open up other functions.
So far, apart from Starter Quests and Starter Packs, the system has been almost exclusively used as storage.
But just the rewards given to Chu He by the quest and the gift package are enough for Chu He to grow into a giant. Just Xiao Jia, once he grows up, is bad news for half the universe. There is also a cosmic rule skill that must hit, this skill Chu He has hardly been developed, if you really dig deeper, the effect brought by this skill may not be worse than the help brought by Xiao Jia.
"Squeak."
Just as Chu He was pondering, Xiao Jia's voice woke him up. The brain worm didn't know when he arrived next to Xiao Jia, and he was humbly prostrate on the ground, and seemed to communicate something with Xiao Jia.
"Squeak, squeak."
Xiao Jia passed the news delivered by the brain worm to Chu He, which turned out to be a problem with the expansion of the worm nest.
In the past two days, the hive has expanded rapidly, but it has also consumed a lot. Especially the food source of the green beetle worms, the entire tenth peak and several nearby peaks, ants and wild bees and other insects have all been eaten, and all kinds of wild animals have also fled the vicinity after being eaten for a small time.
Because Chu He ordered Xiao Jia not to expose the existence of the Zerg, even the plant brain worms were very careful to arrange the collection, for fear of eating too many plants and exposing them to abnormalities.
"That's a problem." Chu He pondered, with the continuous expansion of the hive, the future will inevitably be even greater, and in the end, the tenth peak or even the entire Guangming Mountain Range will not be able to block the hive, and when the time comes, it will be naked in front of humans, and there will inevitably be war.
"Can the hive still move?" Chu He asked. Since there is nothing left here, the only way to go is to go to the sea, where there is a lot of food and not yet be discovered by humans.
It's just that although H City is a coastal city, if you want to move to the seaside, it is also hundreds of miles away.
"Squeak."
Xiao Jia's reply is quick and he can move.
One is that the hive is directly moved from the ground, but it consumes a lot of energy, and at the current size, the geothermal energy can be collected for another two or three months, and the hive can be moved to the sea. It's just that there is a shortage of food now, and now there are hundreds of green beetle worms, and the daily food supply is hundreds of catties of meat.
Another way is to shrink the hive. This has a certain amount of damage to the insect nest, according to the current height of 200 meters, it can be reduced to about 20 meters, and then Chu He can call a big trailer to transport it out of Guangming Mountain.
"Let's take the second option." Chu He thought about it, the first plan was really unaffordable, it was impossible for him to send a hundred catties of meat to Guangming Mountain every day for two or three months, which would be time-consuming and costly, and would attract the attention of others.
"Squeak!"
When Xiao Jia gave the order to the brain worm, the brain worm got up, walked to the depths of the worm's hive, and retrieved the geothermal crystals of the past few days.
This is all energy, the hive shrinks and moves, and the geothermal crystals naturally have to be removed.
In the past two days, hundreds of green beetle worms have absorbed geothermal energy with all their might, excluding the ones used for the expansion of the hive, plus the next three, there are already seven energy crystals.
Before Chu He could get his hands on it, Xiao Jia picked up these crystals, and in an instant, a small black hole beside him opened, and these crystals were all contained in it.
"Squeak, squeak!"
Xiao Jia shouted at Chu He, like a child scolding his parents for not fulfilling their promises, what about the Spirit Gathering Array that promised it?
"Don't be so stingy!" Chu He smiled helplessly: "Your amount is not enough, I will arrange a spirit gathering array for you, it will take a hundred." ”
"Squeak!"
Xiao Jia shook his head, and his consciousness was transmitted to Chu He: You promised, let me be an undercover agent and give it to me, words don't count!
"Well, you've learned the word undercover?" Chu He stroked his forehead and put Xiao Jia next to the scorpion for a few days, this little guy has learned a lot of things!
"In this way, move the hive to the seaside, and I'll build a spirit gathering array inside the hive for you, right?" Chu He said. Although he didn't have many red crystals, he still took out a hundred. What's more, Xiao Jia needs it, so he will naturally not be stingy. And now that there are geothermal crystals from sustainable sources to make up for the consumption of red crystals, there is no need to save energy in the future when arranging formations.
"Squeak!"
Hearing Chu He's words, Xiao Jia became happy, carefully opened its small treasure house to prevent Chu He from seeing it, and took a piece of geothermal crystal from it to Chu He.
"Just one piece?"
Chu He pretended to be angry.
Xiao Jia touched a few feet and limbs, as if he was entangled, and then took out two geothermal crystals and gave them to Chu He, hurriedly closed the small passage in space, and looked at Chu He with blank eyes.
"Okay, okay, three for three, stingy." Chu He lovingly lifted it on his shoulder: "The energy in the future will be fifty-five points." ”
"Squeak, squeak!"
Xiao Jia danced his feet and nodded, as if he had taken a little advantage of Chu He this time and made it very happy.
