Chapter Seventy-Six: The Harvest (Part II)
After another 15 seconds, the news of the Alien Queen's death was finally reported back in the reincarnation crest:
[No. A21379 successfully crossed the level and killed the final boss of the world in this mission, the Alien Queen, and obtained a large number of rewards. 】
[Reward 1: Obtain 8,000 reincarnation points; 】
[Reward 2: Gain 2 evolution points; 】
[Reward 3: Gain 1 skill point; 】
[Obtain a silver key dropped by the Alien Queen.] 】
The final victory of this battle was finally settled, but thinking about it carefully, Yun Qi, who was standing on the corpse of the alien queen, was still deeply shocked by the thrill in it.
Although many of the Alien Queen's hole cards were estimated based on the Alien Royal Guard, the most important and deadly ability that was missed was Mental Concussion.
For this reason, he almost died here, and the badge of destruction that he was not very optimistic about and regarded as dispensable, at the moment of life and death, it was not a spiritual shock that the reincarnation of the initial space could block.
In fact, according to the blueprint of the conventional strategy recorded by the predecessors, the reincarnation needs to assemble a rookie team of more than five people, or unite more than three veterans to defeat the big boss.
Killing an imprisoned Alien Queen was never the most difficult step. The biggest difficulty lies in the mental shock, its defenseless attack method, even if it is a reincarnation specially cultivated for the meat shield, it is difficult to survive.
This is the terrifying nature of soul attacks, their indefensibility, and the doom to at least one death. In other words, it is impossible to defeat the Alien Queen alone. Unless it's a team effort, at the expense of one person, there may be a chance of victory.
And in fact, the price paid for killing the Alien Queen was far more than one person. Veterans who know the strategy often trick newcomers who don't know the inside story into replacing the dead ghosts, but the Alien Queen is an existence with the same human intelligence, and she is not stupid enough to use valuable restricted skills on newcomers with low output. This will inevitably lead to the retention of strength among the veterans, so as not to attract the attention of the alien queen.
Such a vicious circle will only increase the war losses.
On the contrary, the rookie team that does not understand the terrible Alien Queen is likely to complete this difficult task after paying the inevitable sacrifice.
This is also the reason why Murphy, Sandru and other veterans have never considered completing the ultimate mission.
Yun Qi carefully removed the badge of destruction that he had not yet taken off, and after realizing that the soul attack was terrifying, the value of an armor with a soul defense function naturally had to be reevaluated.
"It's a pity that the name of the Predator has disappeared, and I want to 'charge' the badge as soon as possible."
The so-called charge refers to killing a plot character or reincarnation.
But just as Yun Qi was about to admire the badge again, a small dot lit up on the surface of the originally cold badge, which would not be easy to find if it weren't for the bonus of insight talent to visual ability.
Yun Qi immediately sensed this piece of equipment bound to his soul (which could not be sold or repurchased by the system), and found that there was an extra line of names in it - CreepQueen (Queen of Worms).
[Badge of Destruction Level 1: 1/1, automatically upgraded to Level 2, activate the equipment hidden skill: Soul Guardian]
[Badge of Destruction Level 2: 0/10]
[Soul Protection: When receiving a fatal soul attack, automatically sacrifice the soul mark recorded in the badge to block a soul attack.] 】
After killing the Predator before, the Badge of Destruction was automatically upgraded to generate Soul Guard, and at that time, Yunqi ignored the change of the badge because of the battle, and now it seems that this is an unexpected surprise.
"It's the name of the Alien Queen! That's weird. Yun Qi muttered to himself.
If you can get a badge by killing the Alien Queen, then why did you kill a lot of Aliens without a name?
Yun Qi took a moment, combined with the name record he got after killing the Predator, and he immediately understood what the problem was.
Xenomorph is a bizarre species that cannot reproduce alone, and since the Alien Queen gave birth, it has to rely on the genes of the face-hugging insect and the host.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Lord God, they are a group of soulless creatures who will only kill everything they see with a single tendon.
In fact, in the new xenomorph prequel "Prometheus", the origin of the alien species is perfectly explained: they are completely biochemical weapons made by an alien race called "Engineer" (also known as the Giants).
As such, you can dismiss the xenomorphs as soulless creatures, and their bizarre way of reproducing makes sense.
As for why the alien queen has a soul, I'm afraid only the main god knows.
Just when he put away the silver key that had fallen, Yun Qi still regretted it a little: until the death of the alien queen, he didn't know what her natural ability was.
However, a string of heraldic reminders immediately sounded that made Yun Qi regret his curiosity:
[If you successfully kill the Alien Queen, you will automatically cancel the Alien Queen's roar, which hides the disaster plot, and remove the Alien Queen's natural passive ability, the Alien Queen's pheromone suppression.] 】
[Pheromone suppression of the Alien Queen: Each Alien Queen itself exudes a colorless and odorless pheromone, which has a special effect of suppressing the growth and mutation of all aliens in the territory of the Domination Domain, making them unable to grow into the ultimate body of the alien - the Alien Queen. 】
To put it bluntly, pheromones are to prevent the appearance of two-headed alien queens on their own territory, just like the truth that an anthill can only have one queen. Even if other queen larvae are born, they will also consciously fly away from the nest under the suppression of pheromones and create another nest.
Nature's balance is just as effective against Zerg from another planet.
Just as Yunqi wondered what the "so-called loss of pheromones" meant, the heraldic let out a rapid dripping sound, as if warning something.
[Alert! Alert! Because of the loss of the Alien Queen's pheromone that inhibits the growth of the Zerg, the Alien larvae in your body mutate, and they immediately burst out of their chests after 5 minutes! 】
Yun Qi was taken aback by the sudden message, and at the same time, the changes in his body had to convince him of the series of hints that went against the main quest.
The dullness from the chest suddenly intensified, and the alien larvae seemed to be about to break through the host's confinement and gain freedom in the next moment.
Yun Qi didn't say a word, took out a special-shaped enhancement potion, and injected it into the vein, and when the elixir was completely injected into the body, he finally got the prompt that "the alien larvae in your body have been strengthened and fallen asleep again". But the problem is that this kind of sleep does not last for 2 hours, but only for 20 minutes.
Just kidding, what's the use of delaying death for 20 minutes?
