Chapter 152: Silver-dotted Largemouth
The players' imagination and creativity are extremely powerful, and thanks to this, Mo Lan has enough free energy to devote herself to researching new Zerg soldiers, without having to spend a lot of energy on controlling the Zerg.
I don't know if it's the part of Mo Lan who is a human that makes her unable to adapt well to the year-round social animal life that she should have as the queen of the Zerg, or what other reasons, in short, Mo Lan can't ask for her job to be easier.
The Spotted Snake Crocodile was hatched out of a new Zerg by Mo Lan, tentatively named "Crocodile Zerg", mainly taking advantage of the characteristics of the Spotted Snake Crocodile that can also move freely in the swamp, and the body size did not unsurprisingly fail to reach the normal size of the Spotted Snake Crocodile, which is nearly half smaller, only eight or nine meters long.
However, the crocodile-type Zerg does not have a flexible and slender snake tail like the Spotted Snake Crocodile, which is also the reason why Mo Lan did not name the new Zerg "Snake Crocodile Zerg" in the end.
The crocodile-type Zerg also has the ability to move freely in the water, it is better to say that Mo Lan used the biological genes of the spotted snake crocodile to reproduce the crocodile that looks similar to the earth, of course, there are many functional organs that the crocodiles on the earth do not have, but they are relatively close in appearance.
It is worth praising that this time the crocodile-type Zerg does not look too difficult to eye, and after inheriting the gray puff skin of the Spotted Snake Crocodile, even the appearance seems to have become much simpler - the simplicity of other creatures has become ugly, inexplicably, the Zerg soldiers under Mo Lan's hands have become simple, but their appearance has increased slightly.
Just like Mo Lan's previous judgment, although there are creatures in the swamp that occupy most of the swamp because of their powerful characteristics, there are still other creatures, and there are even more powerful creatures than the zebra crocodile.
It's just that the creature called the harrierfoot waterfowl is an out-and-out lone ranger, even if he turns over the entire swamp, he has only seen so many dozens, not even a hundred, which makes Mo Lan feel extremely pity.
Harrifooted waterbirds are extremely exaggerated in height, standing up to a height of more than 20 meters, and one of their legs is more than 10 meters long, which allows them to stand directly in the relatively shallow position of the lake most of the time, waiting for the approach of the prey in the water, and they also have an extremely large long beak, which can swallow the smaller prey whole without much effort.
Like a creature like a turtle crocodile, a harrierfoot waterfowl can take it into its stomach and rot it with one bite, and the tenacity of that pair of long legs is not weak at all Mo Lan's eight spider long legs, one foot can trample the spotted snake crocodile on the ground and be unable to move, by the way, because of these two long legs, the harrierfoot waterfowl is not afraid of falling into a swamp, and it is easy to get out of it.
The harrifooted waterfowl also has a huge advantage, that is, it can run extremely fast, it can run on the surface of the water without sinking, relatively speaking, the harrifooted waterbird can not fly, which is also a kind of shortcoming.
Mo Lan did not hatch a new kind of Zerg soldier for the Harrifooted Waterbird, because the characteristics of the Harrifootfoot Waterbird are too distinct, and the advantages and disadvantages are too extreme, so Mo Lan just used the long-legged genes of the Harrifootfoot Waterbird to strengthen some of the existing Zerg soldiers.
For example, the advanced version of the Mantis Humanoid Zerg can not only be used to bless the walking feet, but even the two scythe-like forefeet used for attacks have also been greatly strengthened, and the combat power has been doubled a lot.
And the big long beak of the harrierfoot waterfowl was also reintegrated into the genes of the low-flying Zerg by Mo Lan, adding another more powerful attack method to them - flying down from the top of the water lake, and holding three or four small fish that are more than half a meter long in their mouths.
On the planet Tanlon, it is normal for a small fish to be half a meter long, and it is worth calling a big fish, how can it be more than four or five meters in size, but fish of this size generally do not appear near the surface of the water, they are all relatively deep underwater, and occasionally they may surface and breathe the air on the water, but most of them are relatively rare.
If you want to catch this kind of big fish, you still have to rely on the crocodile type Zerg to catch it in the water, but there are not many dangerous creatures underwater, there is a kind of creature similar to piranhas, Mo Lan called them silver-spotted largemouths, and their habits are in groups, and hundreds of thousands of them swim together
One is half a meter long, the body is like an oval ball, the mouth accounts for half of the body, and the body is a silver shell as hard as a turtle shell, because there is a bulge, it looks like a silver light spot, so Mo Lan named it the silver-dotted largemouth, this kind of fish can gnaw a crocodile-type zerg completely with a dozen or so.
And the speed of swimming is quite fast, usually if you meet them underwater, there is really nothing you can do with them, sharp teeth and sharp mouths, a bite will break the defense, they themselves have a turtle shell as a solid defense, it is a headache, and there is no better way.
However, this silver-spotted largemouth seems to be rarely seen, and it seems to move back and forth through the undercurrent in multiple watery lakes, and does not stay fixed in one place, so it is a test of luck to see it or not.
However, the silver-spotted largemouth, which has always been a source of avoidance for other creatures in the lakes, may not have thought that their natural predator would be an otherworldly creature called a "player".
The 'Rainbow Wolf King' has a very reasonable saying, "Their shells are so hard, the meat must be very good." ”
Thinking of not doing it, it would not be the style of the players, so it didn't take half a day to fight for the lives of a few crocodile-type Zerg soldiers, and the 'Rainbow Wolf King' caught a dozen silver-dotted largemouths and tasted the taste of this creature.
As for how it tastes...... This can be seen from the fact that the Silver-Dot Largemouth has become the creature with the highest bounty value in the player at the moment.
It's really delicious, but it's a pity that Mo Lan is too far away, and the silver-spotted largemouth caught can't be raised because of its nature, and usually dies after living for less than ten days - don't underestimate the survival ability of this creature.
However, no matter how strong the survivability is, the silver-spotted largemouth that is out of the group will take a hunger strike, only attacking the prey and not eating.
Therefore, Mo Lan can only watch the players go one after another to taste the taste of silver-dotted largemouth fish in person, and her mouth is empty.
There's no way, her current distance is not enough for players to catch the silver-dotted largemouth and send it back to her, and the transportation capacity still can't keep up.
Maybe it's because of a large number of players rushing to help, so the speed of cleaning up the swamp is much faster than Mo Lan imagined, after all, the appearance of the silver-dotted largemouth is a real test of luck, players have to find something else to do in addition to waiting on the sidelines, and by the way, they help clean up the other creatures in the swamp.
Mo Lan didn't waste the biological genes of the silver-dotted largemouth, and strengthened the mouth of the Zerg, in fact, the mouth of the Zerg is already relatively powerful, and even stones and ores can be eaten, but why not strengthen it if it can be strengthened, even if it can only be strengthened a little, it is worth it.
The silver shell on the silver-spotted largemouth is also a good thing, and the pangolin-type Zerg has also gained a strengthening of its defensive capabilities, in addition, in order to deal with a creature called the poison bee before, Mo Lan also deliberately hatched a group of Zerg only the size of a fist, called "Big Stomach King", which is actually quite similar to the silver-dotted largemouth, except that one is in the water and the other is on land.
Mo Lan fused the biological genes of the silver-dotted largemouth fish and re-hatched the big stomach king-type zerg, the appearance of this little guy instantly broke Mo Lan's confidence when he saw the crocodile-type zerg.
With the blessing of the shell, the size of the Big Stomach King Zerg is more than two circles larger than a fist, the size of a palm, and the whole is close to round.
In fact, there is only one mouth left on the whole body except for the outer shell of the wings, and the teeth and barbs in the mouth are rows like sunflower seeds in a sunflower, the kind that is afraid to be committed at a glance.
Even if you don't open your mouth, you can't see anything cute at all.
Shiqi didn't dare to talk about this matter in front of Mo Lan, and even an artificial intelligence didn't know how to describe Mo Lan's terrifying face-pinching talent with reverse heavenly help.
In addition, there are several other new kinds of Zerg soldiers, and there are two more when they fly, one is a Zerg that flies at a low altitude, and a Zerg that can fly a little higher, all of which are the results of the efforts of these ten players of the Musket Team, and the same result is the reward they get, Mo Lan has never been stingy.
In reality, about a month and a half, almost a year has passed in the game, autumn is coming to an end, and you can occasionally see scattered snowflakes falling in the sky.
Originally, the main quest 2 was about to end, and the players should have set off to go back, but the deliciousness of the silver-dotted largemouth made the players forget it, and they were even reluctant to leave.
After thinking about it for a while, Mo Lan simply reopened a gathering point here in the swamp, anyway, the swamp is rich in resources, and a large number of Zerg soldiers can be fed by leaving behind, players like to stay and catch fish and let them catch it, with such a location, the food source for the winter is more secure.
It should be said that the creatures in the water, the growth rate is really fast, and the reproduction rate is even faster, and some players have found a kind of fish that grows very fast, is not dangerous, and has a passable taste, and is trying to prepare for aquaculture.
The most important point is that this fish is not as stubborn as the silver-spotted largemouth, and can be taken to the outside of the Yegu Forest to taste Molan and the Tanloners who probably have never seen a fish.
When Mo Lan was on Earth, she didn't like to eat fish very much, she always felt that there was a fishy smell, and she didn't like it very much, but after coming to another world and becoming the queen of the Zerg, not to mention fish, she hadn't even eaten normal food a few times, so she didn't pick any fishy food, and she was already satisfied if she could eat some normal food.
