The village chief is the supreme leader of the biochemical tribe. He lives in a reclusive society and rarely shows up, giving people a sense of stability. Now he is a little lost because of the insect nest, which undoubtedly made Zhang Mu firm up in his mind. The insect nest is not an ordinary thing. It was definitely the right choice to spend 2,000 killing points to bring it out.
Zhang Mu sent the insect nest to the village chief, "What is the use of this thing?"
The black chips in the village chief's eye sockets were flashing with red light. He looked up and down the insect nest. After about half a minute, he said with certainty, "That's right, it's a dormant insect nest! If this thing is properly cultivated, , no less than controlling an army!"
Zhang Mu was shocked and said: "Can this thing be equal to an army?"
The village chief returned the insect nest to Zhang Mu, "The insect nest is somewhat similar in nature to a war beast. As long as the owner can provide sufficient resources, it can continue to evolve and develop. This insect nest is in its original state. You After getting it from the secret realm, you have become the owner of the insect nest. The insect nest can summon the insect. The higher the level of the insect nest, the stronger the ability to summon the insect. Theoretically, you can summon unlimited insects! So, you picked up a treasure Got it!"
Zhang Mu is a little unbelievable. Can this thing like a watermelon-sized insect nest really be able to summon unlimited number of insects
If it is true, as the village chief said, that the insect nest can breed unlimited insect monsters for the holder to drive, then the significance and value of the insect nest will be unimaginable!
The biggest dilemma facing the human race is not only the shrinking population!
If there is something that replaces the human race in killing enemies, the human race population can be preserved to the maximum extent, which will play an important role in the continuation of the race.
"Currently, the insect nest is still dormant. As long as you wake it up, you will understand the wonderful functions of the insect nest. The benefits brought by the insect nest are definitely higher than imagined."
"How can we wake up the insect nest?"
"Any energy material will do!" The village chief paused and continued to explain: "Magic food, magic herbs, and even some magic ores, anything with energy material, can be used to feed the insect nest, and it will soon wake up. . However, I want to remind you that the consumption of insect nests is very huge, so you must be mentally prepared. Of course, with your abilities, you are still capable of cultivating insect nests!"
"Okay, I'll give it a try first to see if the insect nest is really that magical."
Zhang Mu bid farewell to the village chief and returned to his residence with the insect nest.
"Mumu, why did you come back?"
Leng Yun sat under the shade of the tree, holding a magic book in her hand, her green eyes curled up and she lay down next to her, taking a nap.
Zhang Mu took out the insect nest and put it on the ground. "I know the use of the insect nest. Let's find a way to wake it up first and see if it works."
Leng Yun closed the book and stood up: "Do you know how to use the insect nest?"
Zhang Mu nodded, took out a piece of pterosaur meat, and placed it on the insect nest. The insect nest, which was originally like a stone, suddenly shook a few times and glowed slightly. Soon a message was passed to his mind: "Does it swallow energy matter? "
Zhang Mu looked happy, it was really useful, and immediately agreed to devour it. Countless small tentacles stretched out from the insect nest, and the large piece of pterosaur meat was easily torn into countless pieces. In the end, all of them were swallowed and absorbed by the insect nest, leaving no trace of meat behind.
Leng Yun was shocked, "What's going on?"
The fat man walked out of the room with a big belly and asked curiously: "Hey, what are you doing in the yard?"
Zhang Mu turned around and called: "Fat man, go and take out all the boxes with food."
"What are you doing with the box?"
"Take it as you please, no nonsense!"
"oh!"
The fat man ran back to the house and dragged out a big box. Zhang Mu took out pieces of food from the storage box and let the insect nest devour them. The insect nest is like a bottomless pit, absorbing more than a hundred portions of food.
"What on earth is this?" The fat man was shocked: "It swallowed 100 portions of food!"
The Hive's appetite is shocking.
The insect nest devoured a large amount of food, and finally began to change, growing some flesh and blood tissue, and eventually became the size of a buffalo, with many fang-like white spikes growing on its surface, as if it were alive and constantly moving.
"Oh my god, what is this!" Du Rongrong came back with a marshmallow, but when she entered the door, she saw an insect nest and almost vomited: "Hateful! What weird things did you bring home again? Disgusting. died!"
Lei Ming was behind Du Rongrong and was slightly startled when he saw the insect nest, "This is..."
Leng Yun made a silent gesture to several people.
Zhang Mu closed his eyes and concentrated on sensing that the insect hive consciousness was gradually awakening. In fact, to say that it is a nest, perhaps the insect mother is more appropriate. The insect nest itself is a living entity. What Zhang Mu got was a core. When the core absorbed a large amount of energy, countless flesh and blood tissues grew out, and the insect hive gradually acquired intelligence and even the ability to think simply.
The existence of the insect nest is like a war beast, but it is not a war beast in the traditional sense.
Probably a few seconds.
The hive mind has completely awakened.
[Elementary Insect Hive], life 5000, magic 2000/30000, strength F, constitution F, agility F-, spirit D. The Zerg controls LV2, and the scouts control LV1.
It actually worked.
The magic of the insect nest is decreasing all the time, and energy must be constantly replenished, because when the magic retreats to 0, the insect nest will degenerate and wither, and enter a dormant state again.
Zhang Mu issued an order to the insect nest to summon a scout insect.
The magic of the insect nest was reduced by 200 points, and the whole body began to squirm violently. A bulge appeared on one side, becoming larger and larger, and it also moved. Finally, with a "hurrah" sound, a crack opened. A black bug burst out of the body. Covered in mucus, he fell to the ground, shook his wings, and slowly stood up. His transparent wings slowly stretched out, and a large amount of mucus spread all over the ground.
Du Rongrong covered her mouth: "It really looks like a big mosquito!"
The mucus smells bad. The scout bug is about the size of a washbasin, very thin, with thin transparent wings, and a soft body. It has no protective shell at all, making it feel vulnerable.
The scout bug was so weak that it barely had the strength to move around. After being born from the bug nest, it struggled to get close to the bug nest and greedily sucked in a liquid secreted by the bug nest. The scout bug sucks a lot of liquid, leaves the nest, shakes its wings and becomes energetic.
The insect nest breeds scout bugs, which consumes 200 magic points, and provides nutrient solution for the scout bugs, which consumes about 30 magic points.
The scout insect absorbed the nutrient solution and completely got rid of its weak state, and its information emerged bit by bit.
[Lower level scout bug] (ordinary monster), level 15 Zerg monster, life 850, magic 300, strength F, constitution F, spirit F, agility FF, vision sharing LV1, visual communication LV1.
"Pitifully weak!" Leng Yun really likes the appearance of the Zerg, not to mention they are so weak: "Is this kind of thing really useful?"
Lei Ming is a little interested in the insect nest: "Now the insect nest can breed insect monsters at level 1. If the level is raised, it may be able to breed powerful insect monsters like the insect king! It has a lot of room for development!"
Zhang Mu added: "Although the current reconnaissance bug is weak, it is not necessarily a useless waste. It has two skills [Visual Sharing] and [Visual Communication]. Among them, [Visual Communication] can Things are preserved and shared with any target, including humans.”
The fat man raised doubts: "This little bug is too weak, let alone whether it can detect the information. Even if it can detect the information, it cannot be sent back, and it may be killed halfway."
"Scouting bugs have a skill called [Vision Sharing]. Although the skill is only level 1 and can only connect the vision of 5 scouting bugs, it is enough. When sending out scouting bugs for reconnaissance, only one needs to be left behind. Just keep it close by, and it can convey what the other four scout bugs see to humans at any time."
After listening to Zhang Mu's explanation, Lei Ming nodded in agreement, "This is equivalent to several movable cameras."
In this way, the value of scout bugs is indeed very high.
Zhang Mu glanced at the insect nest for a few times and shook his head: "The insect nest cannot be cultivated directly in the camp, otherwise God knows what it will look like. It will be too conspicuous, so we should find a way to bring it to the front line."
Zhang Mu tried using a war beast card and successfully sealed the insect nest.
Several people took the train and set off for the Bloody Plains. Zhang Mu told the other mercenary captains the usefulness of the insect nest and the scout bugs.
"Is there a suitable place for cultivating an insect nest near here?"
A team leader who was mainly responsible for looking after logistics suggested: "There are several hills near the woods where the goblins live. When we surveyed a few days ago, we found a large-scale underground cave in the hills. After a comprehensive investigation, there was no Found monsters. I think that would be a good place for a bug nest."
Huang Jianye agreed: "It is indeed good. After all, there are many vehicles patrolling the human supply area there every day. In terms of safety, there will be no problems. The insect nest is placed in a secret cave, and the goblins living nearby will not know about it. "
Zhang Mu also thought it was good, so he went to inspect it in an armored vehicle. The underground cave is of average space and is located between the Lingtian area and the Blood Light Terminal. There are often mercenary patrol cars passing by nearby, so there is no need to worry about scavengers or monster attacks.
No problem, a nice hiding place.
The robots from Shuguang Camp were delivered, and Zhang Mu planned to arrange some robots to be responsible for protecting the safety of the insect nest. The insect nest is only at level 1 now, and can summon up to 20 bugs. Except for the scout bugs that cannot fight, there are no other options and they have no fighting ability.
The insect nest has great potential for improvement. When powerful combat insects can be summoned in the future, it will have the ability to protect itself even without robots.
In addition, Zhang Mu discovered a big problem. The cost of cultivating the insect nest was higher than expected. Those conceived bugs need to return to the nest every once in a while to suck the nutrient fluid secreted by the nest to maintain vitality, otherwise they will dry up and die.
In this way, the greater the number of Zerg and the higher the Zerg level, the greater the consumption. Even the underworld mercenaries have difficulty supporting him. Because of the properties of the insect nest, it can benefit the entire mercenary union, so the public funds of the mercenary union and donations from various mercenary groups are used to maintain consumption of the insect nest.
Before Zhang Mu left, he said to Huang Tian: "The insect nest has begun to continuously summon scout bugs. You will have the right to control the scout bugs. From today on, you must make good use of every scout bug and use them to find valuable clues!" "
Scout bugs are very weak.
But sometimes, being weak also has its benefits.
The weak reconnaissance bugs fly through the sky, and I am afraid that the aliens will not pay much attention to them, making it easier to collect intelligence and information.
