Chapter 5 The main nest is built
Layers of cobweb-like mucus were secreted around Chen Feng's body, and soon, white mucus enveloped his body, gradually forming a giant cocoon emitting a glowing green light.
The cocoon agitated, and eight small holes were opened in the top of its head, and transparent heat came out of it, and soon formed a white mist and drifted through the air.
At the same time, numerous whiskers appeared at the base of the cocoon, some of which were firmly rooted in the ground, and the other part was covered in the ground.
If you look closely, you can see that the whiskers are covered with tiny hairs that are secreting a liquid that slowly melts when the vegetation on the ground gets into it.
The melted vegetation formed a pale green liquid that was absorbed by the fuzz, and after a few wriggling movements, the whiskers seemed to grow thicker.
White gas continued to erupt from the top of the cocoon's head, and the fibrous roots under the cocoon squirmed, and soon, the hairs attached to it became thicker and thicker, and gradually formed new fibrous roots, and began to grow, becoming longer and longer.
These fibrous roots are not like the rhizomes of plants, they are shiny and elastic, more like blood vessels or tentacles, and they look a little seeping.
In the process of Chen Feng's nesting, 6 stone beetles were waiting to guard the surroundings.
This is the most critical time, once the nesting is destroyed, Chen Feng can play GG.
Suddenly, the tendrils rooted in the ground contracted, and then there was a "coo, coo" sound, and they seemed to pull something out of the ground.
The surface of the white cocoon slowly turns brown, then black again, and the soft surface gradually hardens.
Chen Feng, who was at the core, breathed a sigh of relief slightly.
The most dangerous time has passed.
The surface of the cocoon appears black and hardens, turning into a mass of flesh between muscle and mustard tissue.
The mass of flesh suddenly stirred frantically a few times, and then there was a tearing sound inside.
"Crackling, popping, tearing......"
Something seemed to burst inside the lump, and then a trace of white appeared on the skin of the lump, and these whites were like a wire worm, branching and spreading under the black epidermis.
This is when the cocoons inside the lump are digested and a tissue similar to blood vessels is formed.
This lump is the core of the Catastrophe Brood and the heart of the Brood Queen.
After the heart was formed, it began to beat happily, and the tendrils on the ground became thicker and grew more rapidly.
The stone beetles guarding the side have already retreated, and at this time the brood has already possessed protection, and they no longer need them to protect it, and they can't protect it.
The whiskers formed a spiderweb-like web that stretched across the ground, and soon, the area 200 meters in diameter was covered with whiskers.
These tendrils are laid out on the ground in a cross-shaped pattern, and constantly secrete digestive juices, which all living beings on the ground, including grass, trees, insects, and microorganisms, are broken down by the digestive juices and become nutrients for the mother nest to absorb.
The shape of the brood is also changing rapidly, with a number of stout tissues rising from the ground to form columns of flesh, and a canopy covered with suction cups is propped up from the top of the heart of the "queen bee" and erected on these pillars of flesh.
At this time, the area and size of the brood become huge.
If someone looks at the top of the ember volcano at this time, they should be able to notice this miraculous change.
The whiskers continued to spread on the ground, countless tiny tissues stretched out from the ground, Chen Feng's current experience was amazing, he could control these, control every whisker, and build the inside of the brood as he wanted.
He follows his instincts and allows the brood to grow freely.
After 2 days and 2 nights, the brood was finally built.
The shape of the whole brood is a bit like a yurt on the Mongolian steppe, but the "yurt" is composed of countless black and red organs and tissues, and it is also mixed with a lot of inorganic structures.
In short, the appearance is quite curious.
The brood is a behemoth with a height of about 40 meters and an area of 300,000 square meters.
This is also the area of a plot.
After the brood was built, it was equivalent to Chen Feng completely occupying this plot.
In addition to the tiles' own output (10 food, 10 minerals, 6 psionic energy, 4 research points), there is also a brood bonus of 2 food and 2 minerals.
From now on, Chen Feng can produce troops and build buildings.
In addition to this, consuming psionic energy can also quickly expand land.
The brood has an ability called [Carpet Weaving], which is not to weave blankets, but to weave fungus blankets.
By extending the mother nest's "whiskers", the scientific name for the "stem tubes", the original plants on the plot are broken down, and the "stem tubes" create a fungal blanket on the surface.
On this layer of fungal blanket, Chen Feng can make buildings, can also hatch natural disaster soldiers, and can also be developed into industrial areas, agricultural areas, psionic areas, etc.
In the early stage of development, Chen Feng decided to occupy the entire Ember Volcano first.
The ember volcano surrounds the crater lake in the center and can be divided into six equal parts, and now the brood occupies a share.
Chen Feng decided to let the tentacles surround the crater lake first, extending to both sides.
These 6 plots of land are the fattest 6 plots, and when all these 6 plots of land are eaten, the resources in the early stage will be completely guaranteed.
This is quite a long job, as there are only two ways to expand the land: one is to buy it directly with Psionic Points, or the other is to obtain Domination Points.
Chen Feng now only earns 1 domination point per day.
That's right, the brood provides 1 Domination Point, and other than that, he doesn't have any Domination Point input.
If you save enough 100 psionic points, you can buy a piece of land in full, but his psionic points are not much, and it will take more than half a month to save enough 100 points.
All in all, he lacks everything now!
The tubular passage of the Cataclysmic Brood suddenly opened, and from the mouthparts of the black hole, Chen Feng walked out.
Once the brood is successfully built, it will run on its own, and he does not need to be in it all the time.
As soon as he gives the order, the brood will do it.
What Chen Feng has to do now is to take his 6 stone beetles to fight a dozen junglers and speed up the development progress.
Before leaving, Chen Feng gave the brood an order to create the basic unit of the Scourge Corps, the "Incubator".
The hatcher is a pot-bellied beast with weak limbs and weak movement, and its feeding is completely dependent on the stem tube of the mother nest, so it can be said that it has no combat effectiveness.
But it has a vital role. There are four follicles on the stomach of the incubator, each of which can hatch a unit, and almost all units of the Scourge Corps, no matter how advanced the class, are hatched by it.
Leaving the mother nest to produce by itself, Chen Feng took the stone beetle army and began to march towards the jungle.
