Chapter 749: Terrible Zerg
The beast-like monster beast and bird-like beast ran for its life, digging between the branches of the tree for its life, and finally did not get rid of the pursuit, and was seized by the alien race, spewing out a sharp sword qi and cutting off the head.
Killing the prey, the alien wings suddenly retracted, and he plunged into the dense bushes, his hard body smashed through the branches, and landed steadily on the prey, feasting on it.
The demon beast was nearly one and a half feet long, and although its body was slender, it also weighed three hundred kilograms, which was far more than ten times larger than this alien race, which was less than three feet.
But this alien race ate this demon beast clean in front of Xiao Ziyang's eyes, leaving not even a single bone.
The alien race's digestive ability is extremely amazing, and every time it eats, it will go to the side to excrete, and the excreted feces are dry, hard, and smelly.
The hard bones of the demon beast were like cakes under its mouthparts that could chew on spirit ore.
After eating and drinking, the alien slowly flew towards the nest with satisfaction, and returned to the mine, where he began to chew the spirit ore all the time, refining the essence, and refining the body.
After seeing all this, Xiao Ziyang was speechless for a long time, these alien races have chosen an evolutionary path that is completely different from that of humans, and their utilization of spiritual materials is simply terrifying.
Xiao Ziyang left this insect mountain and sneaked into another insect mountain, which was also the nest of this Jindan-level black-shell alien race.
To Xiao Ziyang's surprise, in this insect mountain, it was not a dark iron mine, but a spiritual mine whose name Xiao Ziyang didn't know.
After analysis, Xiao Ziyang found that this kind of spiritual ore contained a low-grade earth-based spiritual material, and its value and surname energy were about the same as Xuantie.
After these alien races devour this spirit ore, they will absorb the earth-based essence in this spirit material.
He also observed several other mines and found that these minerals were varied, including gold-based spiritual mines and earth-based spiritual mines.
After a long period of observation, Xiao Ziyang also found that the alien races in these insect mountains will often flow, and after they devour an ore in one mine for a period of time, they will transfer to another mine, and the order in which they devour spirit ore also has a certain rule, it seems that they are gradually transitioning from low-level spirit ore to high-level spirit ore, but it is not necessarily, the order of devouring sometimes changes, as for the reason behind these orders, Xiao Ziyang has not yet found out.
When these aliens devour all the spiritual ore, they will dig a deep cave in the mountain and lurk.
After an incubation period of unknown years, when these aliens crawled out of the crypt again, their appearance had changed dramatically.
First of all, the latent alien body will grow a lot, reaching the size of a human fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and secondly, their shell will turn blue-black.
Xiao Ziyang also discovered that not all of these latent aliens could successfully transform, and some would die in the cave, so he saw with his own eyes that some of the dead aliens were dragged out of the cave by their own kind and eaten by their kind.
Xiao Ziyang once ventured into the crypts where these aliens were lurking and transforming, and observed the transformation process of an alien race with his own eyes.
The first is a long period of deep sleep, during the sleep, inexplicable changes will occur slowly and uninterruptedly on the alien race, this change is very mysterious, even Xiao Ziyang can't understand it.
In the final stages of the metamorphosis, the alien will retreat from the black hard shell on its body, and if successful, a cyan alien will appear, and after devouring the molten hard shell, they will grow rapidly.
Most of the alien races that failed to metamorphose died silently in their slumber, and a small number failed to die during the molt.
Xiao Ziyang roughly observed and found that the probability of success of this alien transformation was very low, and it remains to be seen how low it is.
After these changes, the alien race will enter the belly of the two mountains where the seven or eighth-level alien races are gathered, and grow rapidly.
Xiao Ziyang ventured into the peak where the seventh-level alien races gathered, and he found that there were two kinds of intermediate spirit ores in this peak, one was an earth-based spirit ore and the other was a gold-based spirit mine.
When the cyan alien race had devoured enough of these two spirit ores, they would leave and move towards the other mines in the distance where the seven or eighth-level alien races gathered.
Xiao Ziyang spent more than three years visiting almost every nest in this mountain range.
He gave these aliens a name, calling them Zerg based on their insect-like appearance.
Although Xiao Ziyang traveled all over the mountain range, there was one place he avoided it.
In the northern part of this mountain range, near the Tropic of Cancer, the mountains suddenly become bloated, in other places, the width of the mountains is no more than thousands of kilometers at most, but here, the mountains suddenly widen, and at the widest point, they are more than 30,000 kilometers, and from space, the whole mountain range is like a zigzag stick carrying a melon.
In the center of this mountainous area, there is an extremely large insect nest, occupying a radius of thousands of miles and dozens of peaks. The periphery of this wormhole is inhabited by many cyan alien races, these cyan alien races are all eighth-level peak breath, they do not devour ores, but go out every day, hunting demon beasts everywhere.
Xiao Ziyang once tried to sneak into this wormhole, but he only went deep for less than a hundred miles before he hurriedly retreated.
Fortunately, Xiao Ziyang was cautious and kept urging the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye to observe from time to time, and when hundreds of bright and condensed spiritual lights like essence entered his spiritual eye's line of sight, he was so frightened that he couldn't maintain the hidden retreat method.
These hundreds of spiritual lights showed that their masters were definitely Zerg at the peak of the twelfth level.
Xiao Ziyang couldn't even deal with the tenth-level Zerg, let alone the twelfth-level, and there were hundreds.
When Xiao Ziyang endured his fear and withdrew from the mountain almost step by step, he was sweating like pulp and almost collapsed.
Leaving the wormhole, he flew south for nearly a million miles without stopping for a moment.
After calming down, Xiao Ziyang thought about it again and again, and sent a few gray shadow angels to sneak near the wormhole and lurk.
The hard work paid off, and after months of observation, Xiao Ziyang finally figured out the purpose of the worm nest.
According to the observation of the Gray Shadow Angel, every few months, a group of black-shell zergs will fly out of the hive, and these black-shell buggers are only barely reaching the level of level five, and they are escorted by the green-shell alien race when they leave the hive.
These black-shell insects will be escorted to various low-level spirit ore wormholes, once they reach the spirit ore wormholes, the green shell insects will abandon them, and from now on, these black-shell insects will become one of the same kind that devours spirit ore every time.
Through these phenomena, Xiao Ziyang deduced that this huge insect nest should be a place where the Zerg cultivated their larvae.
After this incident, Xiao Ziyang learned to be obedient, he no longer looked around in person, but sent out nearly a hundred archangel-level gray shadow angels in his hand, while he hid in the forest far away from the mountains and waited to receive the information, and then summarized and analyzed the information.
Not to mention, this method is very useful, and it didn't take long for Xiao Ziyang to analyze a lot of useful information.
First of all, Xiao Ziyang found that these Zerg seemed to have the same qualifications as humans, but unlike humans, the quality of Zerg seemed to be reflected in the speed at which they devoured and digested ore.
Some Zerg can devour all the time, and in the process of devouring, the ore is digested, and it often takes less than ten years for this Zerg to metamorphose from a black shell to a green shell.
And some Zerg will hibernate for a period of time after swallowing a certain amount of ore to digest the swallowed ore. The dormancy time can be long or short.
Xiao Ziyang calculated based on the comparison that it would take nearly a hundred years for the slowest ore-devouring Zerg to evolve from just coming out of the nest to evolving to the green shell.
On average, it took about fifty years for the Black Shell Zerg to evolve into the Green Shell Zerg, and this calculation made Xiao Ziyang feel creepy.
You must know that if a Jinda monk wants to cultivate to the Yuan Infant stage, even if he has good qualifications and abundant resources, it will take two or three hundred years, but this kind of alien race only needs fifty years to evolve to the level of the Yuan Infant Monk, which is too amazing.
Fortunately, the proportion of this Zerg that can successfully transform is not high, about one percent, but this proportion is also comparable to the proportion of the Terran Jindan Monk Advanced Yuan Infant.
The success rate of Zerg metamorphosis is also related to the speed at which they devour ore, and in general, the faster they devour, the higher the success rate of metamorphosis, but there are also accidents that occur from time to time.
After sacrificing more than a dozen gray shadow angels, Xiao Ziyang found that the Green Shell Zerg would also degenerate, and after they successfully transformed, they were the kind of Silver Shell Zerg that had chased and killed him.
From the successful transformation of the green shell Zerg to the transformation again, it takes much longer than that of the Black Shell Zerg, and how long it is, Xiao Ziyang can only roughly estimate based on the sporadic information observed, ranging from about 100 years to 1,000 years.
The success rate of the transformation of the green shell Zerg is extremely low, and Xiao Ziyang guesses that it should be less than one in a thousand. This inference made Xiao Ziyang breathe a sigh of relief, but considering the speed at which this kind of Zerg larvae were generated, the Silver Shell Zerg was still an extremely terrifying number.
Since the Gray Shadow Angel was discovered several times when he was observing the Blue Shell Zerg, the Zerg in this mountain range were all vigilant, and even the Silver Shell Zerg patrolled from time to time, Xiao Ziyang had no choice but to withdraw from this continent and plan to go to other continents to have a look.
When Xiao Ziyang crossed the ocean, he accidentally found a creature that was somewhat similar to the Zerg in a shallow sea.
Except for the fin-like flesh membranes on the four pairs of limbs and feet, this creature is almost identical to the Zerg in other places, and the aura and aura they emit are basically the same as those of the Zerg.
Xiao Ziyang was surprised, so he stopped in this sea area and scattered the gray shadow angel out to collect information about this aquatic creature.
Soon Xiao Ziyang discovered that this aquatic creature was actually a Zerg.
The Grey Angel saw with his own eyes that this aquatic creature had lost its flesh on its limbs and feet on the surface of the sea and flew high into the air.
The Gray Shadow Angel who dived to the bottom of the sea found a spiritual mine on the bottom of the sea, and found the same insect nest in the mountain in the spiritual mine, and this aquatic creature that couldn't stop devouring the ore.
This zerg is still an amphibian, and it doesn't even let go of the mineral deposits on the bottom of the sea.
This discovery made Xiao Ziyang's interest a little heavier. (To be continued.) )
