Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Strange Woods
Like the first sword that swept Chang'an, there are still many players who have been secretly calculated by the skyrocketing difficulty of the game.
Most of them died with a confused face, which can be said to be a new game character as soon as their eyes were closed and opened.
But there is also a small part, it may be that the opponent is more vegetable, or it may be that it is more keen, it is more perceptive, and it is relatively fierce to resist, that is, it has time to wave its arms.
Like the Zerg Brave Squad, they successfully slaughtered the creatures that attacked them the first time, and they were only a few after all, but this was also their luck.
First, when the Zerg Brave Squad met the Split Tiger, they had not completely left the safe zone, and they had been combed by the Zerg soldiers, and there were relatively few dangerous creatures.
Second, they are numerous, usually creatures at such a distance together, few of them will take the initiative to provoke, and they may win in heads-up, and lose in group fights.
Thirdly, even the Split Tiger didn't think about picking more, it thought that after the sneak attack caused one of the small bugs to be injured, the other bugs would run away in fear, but the result was very different from what it thought, so it ended up in the hands of the players.
This is also a portrayal of the reaction of most creatures to the Zerg, the way they used to treat other creatures has actually failed in this Zerg.
Who made the Zerg a group of creatures that have no sense of pain and no sense of fear, they will not run away when they are injured, nor will they retreat, as long as the order from the Zerg Empress exists, as long as the body can still move, they will firmly complete the order.
This hand really made the creatures in the Yegu Forest who had never seen much of the world confused.
However, this does not mean that the progress of the Zerg is so smooth sailing, and the truly powerful creatures never mind the many tricks of the prey resistance, and it is a matter of two people.
Mo Lan was the queen of the Zerg when she first became the queen of the Zerg, and she was deeply affected by the memories of her previous life, and she did not understand the instincts in some genes very well.
It was also after observing so many players that she came to a specific conclusion.
Mental power is not completely linked to the physical strength of the Zerg.
In other words, the value of mental power has always affected the player himself, because he has enough mental power, so he can control a different body that obviously does not belong to him, and carry out various actions.
If a player has a strong ability to control his own mental power, then he will have no problem even if he overtakes the more powerful Zerg body.
It's just that at this point, Mo Lan can only make a simple judgment by the amount of mental power of these players, and can't determine which player is that kind of talented.
The energy required for incubation refers to the needs of the entire body of the Zerg soldiers, just like using building blocks to build objects, and energy is the building blocks that make up the body.
But the same energy, the composition of the body, is not exactly the same, such as the difference between plastic building blocks and wood building blocks to put together the same item, the strength is different, so the strength of the Zerg soldiers and the amount of energy is really not very related.
Assuming that ten Zerg queens use the same energy to hatch mantis humanoid Zergs, the Zerg soldiers of the eldest sister Leah must have quite strong individual combat ability, and the Zerg soldiers of the third sister Huashi must have a powerful shell as solid as metal.
There is also a big gap between the Zerg soldiers of the same rank.
Mo Lan has no advantage in this regard, if the Zerg hatched by other Zerg queens is a positive +0.1~0.5 strength on the basis of its own value of 1, then Mo Lan is a reverse -0.1~0.2 strength.
The Zerg soldiers under her command are as if they have been injected with water.
It's just that Mo Lan herself is very self-aware, and she didn't think about how earth-shattering things she could do with her own zerg soldiers, she was just using the iterations of these zerg soldiers to pave the way for the growth of players.
Of course, Mo Lan will not give up on the promotion of Zerg soldiers, even if it is very unlikely, but she still has to rely on these basic Zerg soldiers as supporters of her throne after all.
Moreover, if the Zerg soldiers have not evolved and enhanced, where will the players get the game characters?
……
Although the Yegu Forest is said to be a forest, the environment in it is quite rich, and almost all of the terrain and environments that are rare in the outside world are gathered in this huge forest.
Mo Lan led the Zerg to a long way, but judging from the size of the entire Yagu Forest, this distance was not even one percent of the distance from the center of the Yagu Forest.
After dying a few times in vain, the players also abandoned the courage of the lone ranger and formed a team in groups.
"This main quest event can't be brushed alone, do you want to come in a team~"
"There is a lack of one in our team who can fly and can detect intelligence, so I exchanged it for Mantis 2!"
"Is there a brave brother, who is not afraid of death and can be used as bait, and the cost of the death of the game character is shared by the team! More points for the success of the hunt! ”
"Enter the team if you want to brush up on the achievement title! Don't ask for the strongest prey, only the number! ”
The transport-type zerg that acts as the resurrection point and offline point is surrounded by scattered players, shouting as if the stalls are setting up goods, and more than 100 players have also formed a preliminary scale, and there is a feeling of team battle in a large-scale online game.
Mo Lan looked at it and felt very relieved, her fake holographic game now looks like it really has the feeling of a game.
Before, although it looked like a game, it looked very sloppy, and many places were not so reasonable, so you could only use the incomplete beta function to get the lake over.
And as the number of players increases, the player's mental power value increases, and after they can do more things in the game, the disguise of this holographic game becomes more and more realistic.
"In that case, maybe we can consider announcing the existence of "Zerg"." Mo Lan pinched her chin and thought.
Don't get me wrong, what she said about the announcement is to announce the existence of the holographic game "Zerg" on Earth, after all, "Cosmic Star Tour" has been dominant for a long time, and it's time to give those human players on Earth a little choice.
Give them a taste of what a real "holographic" game looks like.
However, this will only have to wait until she completes this expedition to the inner layer of the Yegu Forest and obtains enough genes and energy.
The four tests will be open...... 10,000 places.
"Do you need to warm up first?" Quite a humane reminder.
It has already taken over half of Molan's connection with the Earth Network, and what advertising is pitched here is a fairly simple matter.
Rather than the overwhelming propaganda that causes all kinds of alarm, the kind of pop-up advertisements that seem like viruses can not only give those human beings an impression, but also do not attract too much attention.
"Zerg, an epoch-making holographic mobile game!" "New mode, new gameplay, "Zerg" game, not to be missed!" "Thousands of Zerg, all in "Zerg"!" ……
Can you say that there is any difference between this kind of advertising slogan and those "I'm a scumbag, if I'm a brother, come and cut me", "Dragon Slayer Knife click to give", "A game that you can't stop"?
Most people swept it at a glance, except for the accidental touch, they didn't even have the desire to click on it, after all, since the launch of the cosmic star game, there have been countless game advertisements under the guise of holographic games.
The promotional slogan of "Zerg" appears in it, which can only be said to be obscure to the crowd and will not attract attention.
But the effect of Mo Lan is not too sensational, as long as most people have seen it and have a certain impression of the name "Zerg", in fact, this is also the purpose of most advertisements.
It doesn't require you to really do anything, but when you watch this advertisement and have an impression of this thing, it is easier to get in touch with relevant content and be more receptive, which is why many brands have to find celebrities as spokespersons to increase the recognition of their own brands, so as to stand out from all kinds of products of the same kind.
And when most people have an impression of the Zerg, and then large-scale publicity, the effect will be there.
"Yes." Mo Lan calculated, how could it take her more than three or four months this time, in the game.
The time converted into reality is more than half a month, to a month.
It's a bit long, so it's good to warm up in advance.
……
It may be that without chattering, Mo Lan is lamenting that he has not met any creatures that can cause trouble for so long, and turned his head to the Zerg soldiers who were scouting at the front, and reported back the news that they had encountered big trouble.
It was a forest...... It sounds strange that there is a forest in the Yegu Forest, but if you understand the Yegu Forest as the name of a territory with many trees and plants, it can actually be understood.
It's a forest, but it's not exactly a forest, and there are lakes, valleys, and other places in it.
There is nothing wrong with having a separate forest made up of specific plants, such as white-collar apes, which live in a thicker tree that is not as tall as the tree of life, but has enough space to support it for white-collar apes to build a nest in the tree.
And the forest that stopped in front of Mo Lan and her Zerg soldiers was obviously different, because Mo Lan didn't perceive the living creatures inside, but the whole forest was full of vitality, which seemed strange and inexplicable.
There was no rush to send the Zerg soldiers in to send them to death, Mo Lan thought about it, and directly stimulated a main quest and summoned most of the players online.
Wouldn't it be fitting to leave something like this, which is obviously weird and not overtly dangerous, to be given to players as a task.
Really let Mo Lan think of a solution by herself, she didn't have much patience.
Detour...... Although it is also an option, but the forest in front of him, Mo Lan can't confirm its size, length and width.
As mentioned earlier, Mo Lan's spiritual power exploration principle is to release her spiritual power, fill the places she wants to explore, and then feed back into her consciousness.
But this kind of behavior, for some powerful, intuitive creatures, can easily cause alarm, and most of them will choose to run first and then talk, and will not stay at all.
As a result, the Zerg army may suddenly have no food source on its way forward......
Therefore, in addition to keeping his own spiritual power monitoring near the novice's spawn point, Mo Lan had no way to use his spiritual power to explore the road ahead, so he could only use the most primitive soil method to send Zerg soldiers to observe with the naked eye.
This also shows that Mo Lan's Zerg army is ...... At most, there were only a few hundred, but after leaving the territory divided by their own family, the number directly expanded to a few thousand, and the number reached tens of thousands from the white-collar apes.
This value will be increased in the future, probably in the hundreds of thousands, but in the end, Mo Lan will take the initiative to reduce the number and maintain the number of tens of thousands, which is the most reasonable number after she asked Shiqi to calculate.
However, Mo Lan is also a little pity, in the end, the Zerg soldiers she hatched are too watery, if she can achieve a qualitative improvement, for example, every tentacle-type Zerg has the strength of the armor, then her tens of thousands of numbers can be completely reduced to a few thousand...... Oh no.
She can obviously use these tens of thousands of elite zergs to expand her territory several times!
Streamline what streamline! Oppressive quantities are the last word.
The players were summoned by the main quest, and the Zerg Brave Squad was also there, so it was better to say that the first time they saw this task, Dream Swim pulled the whole team back.
Even the princess Mengyi began to notice that something was wrong with her mature and steady brother.
"Your brother?" Tang Dynasty chestnut asked in a low voice.
"There's a problem." Princess Mengyi thought she was stealthy and nodded.
"Won't you ask him any questions?" Al is my wife's scratch her head, and she has been using her brains less since she discovered the joy of recklessness.
"If you don't want to ask, I'll help you ask......" As soon as he took a step, Al is my wife was grabbed by Princess Mengyi and Tang Dynasty chestnuts at the same time and pulled back.
"Don't make a fuss!" Tang Dynasty chestnut looked at Al is wife very unimposingly, and whispered, "I see this, I can't ask directly." ”
Princess Mengyi nodded vigorously, "Mm-hmm! ”
Al is my wife puzzled, but still nodded, "Okay then I won't ask, you let go of me, I'm going to Queen Lan!" ”
It's impossible for players to get close to Mo Lan like this.
Not to mention the throne built by the huge transport-type Zerg that is more than ten meters high, the various Zerg soldiers who surround it are not easy for players to approach.
However, you can choose the viewing position to decide whether you want to see the back of Queen Arashi or the side face.
As for the front, Mo Lan was facing the weird woods, and the players weren't stupid enough to rush straight in.
Xiao Jiang has been hidden at Molan's request and not let the players see it.
Mo Lan thought about it, if she didn't do anything, she would be stunned, looking at the Zerg soldiers in front of her working, as if she didn't have any aura.
So lazily and nobly raised her fingers, and the Zerg soldiers under her hands followed suit, as if she was using her fingers to give orders and guides, in fact, the instructions she issued in the spiritual network worked, and the two strokes were meaningless at all.
A tentacle-type zerg walked into the forest in front of him with smooth steps, and everyone watched this scene nervously.
