Chapter 23: The Emancipation of the Mind
Entering the depths of the vein, all the worker bees began their work.
These worker bees have undergone several evolutions of the hive, and the cuticle on the surface is covered with a faint silver glow, and the work efficiency is much higher than that of the first generation that was hatched.
Even its own combat effectiveness is higher than that of the first generation of jumping insects.
This is the Zerg, constantly evolving and moving in a more perfect direction.
All the worker bees go about their work, hatching nests, building fungus blankets, and collecting ore.
It took almost half a day, and the mine had been transformed by the swarm.
The cave opened, the base of the nest that lay together, and the fungus blanket that spread all over the ground, the larvae that kept breeding, and a miniature wormhole the size of a pitch built into the ground.
Although it is still only a miniature wormhole, it can already be connected to the main base, and only by consuming energy, the Zerg can transfer resources and troops to each other.
At the same time, the swarm of the base, constantly transporting worker bee worms, began to mine mineral resources, and expanded this newly established sub-base.
In terms of area, this place is still too small, and the underground world needs to be further expanded.
The surface world is very easy to expose, but the underground world is not much of a problem.
And because of the existence of tunnel insects and fungus blankets among the Zerg, Lu Heng does not have to worry about excavating too widely and causing any geological collapse.
The tunnel worms responsible for digging, as well as the worker bee bugs, secrete a special slime that melts into the soil, making the soil as tough as steel, and will never collapse even in the event of an earthquake.
"Next, let me see if there is any difference in your memories, as well as the martial artists of the Innate Realm, in their bodies. After temporarily settling down the sub-base of the Zerg, he sent the insect swarm to start exploring the amount of resources in this vein, and at the same time, Lu Heng set his eyes on Su Xin and Tie Wulu, who were lying unconscious on the ground.
"Let's start with you. ”
Dispatching the worker bee worm to throw Su Xin, who had cut off his limbs, into the hive, Lu Heng ordered the hive to start extracting his memories, and through the spiritual link, the brain worm given to the main base took over the first-level hive in front of him.
Although it was only a first-level worm nest, it was enough, and soon Su Xin's memories were sorted into spiritual documents by the brain worm and transmitted to Lu Heng's mind.
"Interesting, is this the reason why that guy said that I got into trouble before, there is a sister who was accepted as a closed disciple by the master of Yijian Sect, and it seems to others that the Flying Eagle Gang is attached to the Sanhe Gate, but the truth is the opposite?
At first, he smiled and didn't care, but after observing Su Xin's memory and discovering that there was still a spiritual ore hidden under this refined iron vein, Lu Heng couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Iron concentrate belongs to the same level of resources as the silver ore found in the canyon before, and if it is turned into three grades, then there is no doubt that these two categories are inferior.
As the name suggests, the spirit mine contains the ore of spiritual energy, which can be used by martial artists to cultivate, and can also create divine weapons.
Just like refined iron ore, silver ore can only create mortal soldiers, but this spirit ore can create spiritual weapons.
As for the higher level, it is the spiritual veins that are controlled by the major forces on the mainland.
No matter how big or small, as long as the spirit veins are not destroyed, then there will be an endless stream of spirit ores, which can be regarded as a kind of recreation.
"But is the Innate Realm so weak?"
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Lu Heng couldn't help muttering to himself.
According to Su Xin's memory, although Su Xin revealed to the outside world that it was a triple congenital realm, he actually had almost seven innate realm combat power, and there was a younger sister who was accepted as a closed disciple by the master of the Yijian Sect, and he even had a talisman treasure on his body, but unfortunately he didn't have time to use it under Lu Heng's spiritual storm.
But even so, according to his ability in Su Xin's memory, Lu Heng estimated that even if he played all his hole cards, he would only need 10,000 jumping worms and stinging snakes to be able to take him down.
Of course, this doesn't mean that he can really kill 10,000 jumping insects and stinging snakes, just that this number of worms can make him unable to escape.
Unleashed, the insect swarm will not be stupid to duel with him, the long-range attack of the stinging snake, the melee siege of the jumping worm, and even Lu Heng believes that it only takes the death of hundreds of insects and beasts to be able to take him down.
"It's that I'm overestimating the warriors of this world, or even though I'm underestimating the potential and evolution ability of the Zerg. ”
Lu Heng used the current Zerg to compare the strength of the Innate Realm martial artists in Su Xin's memory, and took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
The previous Zerg was just the first generation of worm swarms that did not evolve at first, but the current Zerg swarms have undergone genetic changes and evolution, and their power is completely different from what they used to be.
The Zerg that had not evolved, and Nalan Feng, who was only as weak as an ant in the acquired realm, was able to kill thousands of Zerg with an energy shield prop.
But when the body becomes resistant to the energy of the so-called true qi, the current insect swarm only needs dozens to be able to crush the original Nalan Feng, even if it is now strengthened by Lu Heng to the top level of the Acquired Realm, it is only to double the number, and one or two hundred jumping insects and stinging snakes need to be added.
And this is still the current situation that the Zerg has not decomposed the world's perfect energy system, but only based on genes and energy to make the Zerg produce evolved antibodies.
"The destroyer of civilization, devouring, plundering, and evolving, this is the real Zerg, only by constantly plundering, devouring, and evolving, the Zerg can develop faster, and I have always been bound by the previous human way of thinking!"
Realizing the strength of the Zerg, after getting the comparison of strength from Su Xin's memory, Lu Heng seemed to have been opened a shackle called thinking.
Are the Zerg huge now?
The scale of the million insect swarm is not small, but more than eighty percent of the Zerg are only the first generation of insect swarms, not the later genetically improved Zerg, Lu Heng needs to spend a lot of energy again to change their genes through the evolutionary nest among the Zerg.
"Unable to plunder more powerful genes, unable to devour more powerful races, the Zerg will only stagnate, and will always grow only in quantity, not in quality. The Zerg have always been predators, other races have evolved to improve their genes, and the Zerg have plundered their genes, this is the Zerg!"
As the brain worm began to decompose the genes brought by Su Xin's innate realm martial artists, and once again tried to fuse and decompose the genes of the Zerg, making the existing insect swarm genes more perfect, Lu Heng's thinking also began to undergo a new liberation.
At this moment, Lu Heng completely figured it out, even if he cultivated a sea of hundreds of millions of insects, there was no sea of hundreds of millions of insects that had undergone evolution and improvement, and it was not even as terrifying as the millions of evolved insect swarms.
The powerful thing about the Zerg is that the Worm Sea tactics are endless worm swarms, but if they don't evolve and are just the first generation of worm swarms, then how can the Zerg become the destroyer of civilization and the most terrifying race in the universe?
"Plunder, devour. Then touch the essence of it, tap its potential, reorganize it, change it, perfect it, this is the Zerg!"
Throwing Tie Ruthless on the side into the insect hive, and extracting his memories and genes again, Lu Heng's face showed a fanatical look.
Soon, under the sorting of brain worms, the memory of Tie Ruthless was transmitted to Lu Heng's mind.
"It's really surprising!" Looking at Tie's ruthless memory, Lu Heng's face showed a hint of surprise.
