Being able to make and use tools is a prerequisite for becoming an intelligent life. At least that's how humans are.

And these two rats, which look like they are walking upright after being enlarged, should also be regarded as a kind of intelligent life.

"So, let's call it a nezumi." Thinking so, Taryn ordered the Queen of Worms to kill and eat the two unconscious nezumi in order to obtain their genetic samples.

As soon as he got the genetic sample, Taryn began to study the nezumi. If we could use the nezumi brain as a template to study a new commander...... Then Taryn doesn't have to think about the various conditions of the tribe all day long.

After capturing the two nezumi, Taryn ordered the Bugs to patrol the neighborhood in an attempt to find more nezumi for a more complete genetic sample.

However, the day after the capture of the nezumi, the patrolling soldiers and insects were attacked, and Tyron was killed by the flying spears before he could even see what the enemy was.

"I didn't go back to report the news!" Taryn looked back at the memories of yesterday's swarm of bugs, and he was sure there were only two nezumen.

Although he didn't know the situation, Taryn quickly gathered more than 200 soldiers and insects in the local nest, and sent some of the workers to investigate. At the same time, let the other nests also send Soldier Worms to support.

Eventually, the scouting insects saw the enemy, and the other side seemed to treat the insects as ordinary beasts and ignored them.

It was an army of nearly a thousand, black and shiny carapace, four human-shaped arms covered in exoskeletons, two arms holding javelins and the other two holding metal blades. A pair of insect-like compound eyes, a praying mantis-like head, and no wings. The legs, which look quite thick, bend in the opposite direction like a dog, and they are very bouncing at first glance.

"This creature ...... How did it evolve? Tyron's controlled worker's eyes were fixed on the palms of what appeared to be arthropods. The palm was almost indistinguishable from a human, except that the number of fingers was relatively small, only four fingers. In any case, Taryn couldn't have imagined under what conditions arthropods would have evolved into palms of this shape.

"Is it another group of intelligent life?" Looking at the creatures that were moving in order, "Just call this thing ...... for the time being Worm people. ”

"Must ...... Test its combat effectiveness first. And......" Tyron remembered the soldier insects killed by the javelin thrown by the opponent, and his own zerg did not have any long-range attack methods at present, if he fought them in an unobstructed place...... I'm afraid that before I can rush in front of me, I will have to lose a large number of troops.

After commanding more than thirty soldiers and insects to lie in ambush in front of these insects, Taryn continued to observe this group of insects through the perspective of the workers, although he didn't know why these insects didn't attack the workers, but since the other party didn't do anything, let's observe it openly.

……

The Crustaceans, or Bugmen, one of the Wormmen trotted behind in the direction of the troops. Then, it was stopped by several wormmen.

"Get out of the way, I've noticed something unusual and need to report it to the commander." The wormman said.

"Let it come, say, what's out of the ordinary?" Said a bug-man who looked completely indistinguishable from other bug-men, except for being slightly larger.

"Commander," the wormman made a strange gesture in respect, "look at the creatures. The insect man pointed to the workers who were watching from afar.

"Is there anything unusual about those creatures?" The commander said, "I haven't seen it, but it's probably just a local beast." ”

"No, Commander." The tentacles on the insect man's head crossed for a moment, "If it was a normal beast, seeing so many of our strange creatures in action, it would have fled a long time ago." And we have killed all the beasts that dare to attack us, and even those beasts should know that we are not easy to mess with, and should have fled early. And they are completely unmoved. And...... They follow us consciously. I suspect something is directing them. ”

"......" The commander stared at the workers for a long time, and didn't feel that anything was wrong, so the tentacles on his head shook a little, and said, "Back to your team, soldier, it's you thinking too much." It was just an ordinary beast. They're just collecting food. ”

On the other side, Taryn breathed a sigh of relief, he noticed the insect man who was acting against the team very early, after the other party communicated with another insect man, the insect man turned his gaze, in order to prevent being seen flawed, Taryn immediately ordered these workers to scrape the moss on the bark and eat it, as for whether the worker insects can digest it...... Anyway, if you have indigestion, the worker worms can still spit it out.

However, Tyron also noticed that the person who was communicating with the retrograde insect man before might be the commander of this team.

The first target is this guy. Taryn thought so, and kept his eyes on the wormman who might be the commander.

On the other side, the refuted insect man returned to his team with some disappointment, and a insect man next to him said, "Hunter, how is it?" I'll just say you're too neurotic. ”

"But I really don't feel right." The insect man known as the King Hunter said, "They are indeed watching us. ”

"You don't have to think so much, we're going to get rid of those annoying rat people, and this time we must cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. It is our Zerg's worst enemy. The insect man next to him said, "What can these beasts do if they observe us?" Can they still threaten us? ”

"I wish I was too careful." The Hunter said. But it still felt very wrong. This comes from its instincts, it used to be a hunter before participating in this war, and its name was given by the fact that it broke through the herd and killed the Beastmaster alone. However, these are somewhat flat-looking bugs...... Definitely not an ordinary beast!

Just as it shifted its gaze to the workers again, it noticed that the workers were staring in the direction of the commander!

……

In a war, killing the commander is a big step closer to victory. Therefore, Tyron decided to increase the number of soldiers and insects in ambush, and try to kill the opponent's commander as much as possible while testing the opponent's combat strength. This can also delay for a while.

As for peaceful exchanges...... Taryn's idea only took a spin in his mind before he threw it away. The language barrier, the lack of understanding between the two sides, the first attack by the other side, and the arrival of a large army into his territory, Tylen did not know how to settle the situation peacefully.

In short, expel the other party from their territory first. Others will be addressed later.
