Chapter 169 Establishing a Zerg Base
The passage of the "King's Gate" opened outside the dark valley. The image of the huge and heavy door appeared and disappeared. The strong suction force caused the elves who had sown the seeds to turn their heads and look back.
The rat army emerged from the surrounding underground cave exits and entered the door in a long queue. From time to time, some giants joined the team.
30 giants and 40,000 ratmen, this is the vanguard force Ye Xing dispatched to occupy "Ke Luo".
After he builds a time beacon in the world of Coro and adjusts the time flow rate difference between the worlds, he will soon be able to teleport subsequent armies into the world of "Coro" on a large scale.
When the army was halfway through, the Frost Giant Ji set off to garrison at Koro.
Ye Xing completely transformed his body into an intangible state. After passing through the "King's Gate" and identifying the direction, he moved straight north towards the Dark Night Forest.
On the edge of the bloody wilderness and mottled city walls, there are piles of bones.
Beyond the fortress, which is tens of meters high, the continuous mountains crisscross like the backbone of the earth, giving birth to thousands of creatures.
To the west from the central Steel Rock Mountains is a fertile plain with rich products and a suitable environment.
The area between the plains and the sea is densely populated with towns where humanoid creatures live.
In the centers of these towns, without exception, stood churches used to deliver the gospel, spread faith, and communicate with heaven.
In the isolated hills to the east of the Steel Rock Mountains and around the Great Lake of the Shire, dwarves of all sizes were manipulating steel puppets and carrying out production work.
Along the way, Ye Xing saw many kinds of alien creatures: rude and savage cavemen, dwarfs playing with machines, wild spirits composed of ghosts, a small number of trolls, dark green tree spirits, and humans who formed fleets to explore the ocean.
In front of the dark and deep forest, Ye Xing paused for a moment to spread his senses and detect the dark night forest that was almost separated by the bay.
His consciousness passed through the dead branches and leaves that accumulated thickly on the ground, and extended downward along the entangled roots in the ground.
The underground river intertwined like a fishing net lies like a corpse between the soil and rock crevices, flowing quietly from the dark and moist cave deep in the world.
Ye Xing moved his position on the surface while exploring underground caves deep underground that were suitable for establishing a main base for the insect nest.
"A tribe of underground lizardmen?"
Ye Xing stopped moving in the northwest corner of the Dark Night Forest, and his invisible body sank into the ground, observing these alien races.
In the damp underground cave, simple lines and geometric figures without any sense of beauty are carved everywhere.
At first glance, they look like children's graffiti, but when someone looks directly at these murals, the roar of a giant dragon will automatically appear in their mind, impacting everyone's consciousness with crazy murderous intent.
The cave echoed endlessly with the scratching sound of lizard-men's claws scratching the ground.
Wild roars came one after another, mixed with the scraping sound of insect arthropods crawling across the ground.
A huge centipede was fighting a dozen rough and violent lizardmen with scarlet eyes.
Although the lizardmen carried crude weapons and tools, their fanatical desire to attack allowed them to fight with their sharp teeth and claws and the hard green scales on their bodies.
Thick smoke-like clouds of poisonous mist erupted from the mouthparts of the giant centipede, spraying on the lizardmen who tried to destroy the joints of its feet.
A weird roar sounded, and a lizardman that looked much stronger than its kind sprayed a stream of extremely cold frost at the centipede that released the poisonous mist.
In an instant, the poisonous mist that had not spread was frozen into ice slag and fell to the ground.
An unwilling roar sounded from the centipede's mouthparts.
This giant bug, realizing that it might become food for the lizardmen, curled up its huge body and began to roll crazily in the narrow underground cave.
The lizardmen chose to avoid the sharp edge temporarily. They screamed and hid behind the cracks and rocks in the cave, waiting for the moment when the giant centipede's energy was exhausted. Ye Xing followed the traces of the centipede crawling on the ground, found the entrance of the cave where it came from, and explored in depth.
It didn't take long to find a huge insect hole connected by dozens of holes.
It can barely block the insect nest, but it is obviously not enough to build a time beacon.
Ye Xing appeared in the middle of the insect cave and chose to place a [camp bonfire].
The warm firelight lit up, dispelling a bit of the wet, dark feeling in the insect den.
After completing the fire-injection ceremony three times in a row, the campfire burned more vigorously, and the suppression of the Creator's laws in the wild world has been weakened to the point of almost non-existence.
Ye Xing concentrated on borrowing Frost Giant Ji's vision to sense the situation on the "King's Gate" side.
After the last group of ratmen passed through the "King's Gate", Ye Xing opened the time and space channel of his [camp bonfire].
Attracting everyone's attention, the publicly open "King's Gate" slowly closed, while the [camp bonfire] hidden underground was burning quietly.
The insect nest moved its huge body and, following Ye Xing's guidance, formed a circle with the campfire as the center to make room for the worker insects who came with them to build the base.
Ink-colored mucus oozes from the body of the insect nest, and countless worker insects crawl all over the body of the insect nest, allowing their bodies to be contaminated with this special bacterial fluid as much as possible.
As the worker insects began to expand outward, the bacterial fluid adhering to them soon filled all the space in the insect hole.
After those special bacterial fluids come into contact with the soil, they begin to absorb the inorganic and organic matter in the world of Koro, converting them into nutrients needed for their own growth and the survival of insects.
The bacterial strains that grew out of the soil quickly connected into a large carpet of bacteria.
After the carpet was laid, and with the support of a large amount of resources prepared by the insect nest in advance, 17 hatcheries were built with the help of worker insects.
Then, 18 special units were quickly discharged from the abdomen and tail of the insect nest.
After finishing the final work, its size has shrunk visibly to the naked eye.
Those busy worker insects, under the command of the insect nest, divided into groups and placed 6 prototypes of flesh and blood furnaces, 8 extraction rooms, and 4 evolution chambers at the locations chosen by them.
Tens of thousands of worker insects quickly slid and crawled on the bacteria carpet, installing and combining special units that were hundreds of times larger than themselves.
In less than half a day, the Zerg Nest had already built a Zerg main base in Coro's underground world.
As the eggs in the hatchery begin to squirm, they show signs of imminent birth.
Those overworked worker insects crawled onto the carpet closest to the hatchery to wait for death.
Worker insects that remain motionless for a long time begin to fuse from the legs and abdomen that are attached to the fungus carpet, and are swallowed and absorbed by the fungus carpet and converted into nutrients for reuse.
The batch of worker insects brought by the insect nest from the "Forest of Rock" died, and the new ones bred in the world of "Coro" were born.
Under the traction of gravity, the bodies of 9 giant centipedes fell on the fungus blanket and were quickly decomposed and absorbed, turning into information and nutritional resources for the alien zerg needed by the insect nest.
The compound eyes of the insect nest are flashing continuously, and it is analyzing and creating an insect transformation plan specifically for the environment of Koro World.
