Zhang Yang decided to build a Zerg base.
The fact that the Infinite Zerg are not affected by the Curse of the Plague Serpent is enough to give them an advantage.
However, his micro-village building order currently only opens the level 2 Zerg gene authority, so he can only build two infinite Zerg buildings. One is the energy furnace, which can recycle corpses and extract energy crystals.
The specific function of the second type of Zerg training pool is to throw the corpses of the infinite Zerg killed in battle, and it can also extract a small amount of energy crystals.
In short, the Infinite Zerg is a race that will not waste any resources.
Zhang Yang built it all in one go and placed it in a cave a hundred meters deep.
For this he consumed all ten green crystals.
Three hours later, two Zerg buildings were completed one after another.
The energy furnace is not a large furnace, but resembles a large bowl with various strange lines carved on it, like some kind of magic circle.
Zhang Yang put the corpse of the plague snake girl in and used three blue crystals to activate the energy furnace. As he expected, the energy contained in the blue crystals activated those strange lines, which quickly brightened and formed some kind of With the mysterious force field, the corpse of the plague snake woman was decomposed before his eyes, turning into various floating particles, colorful and beautiful.
Ten minutes later, these floating particles cooled and solidified, forming a crystallized state in the energy furnace. This was the resource needed by the Zerg to build a village.
Zhang Yang didn't even bother to lament the technology of the Infinite Zerg, because he gained a lot this time. A plague snake girl actually contributed two red crystals, five green crystals, and twenty-four blue crystals.
But it is natural to think about it. The plague snake girl is of a very high level and is very powerful. If Zhang Yang had not used the ancient magic language of Ju Que, even fifty little bugs might not be able to kill her.
Without saying a word, Zhang Yang consumed two red crystals and raised the level of the infinite Zerg gene authority library by another level, to level 3. The effect is still +10% for all attributes.
Then he consumed 10 more blue crystals to improve the physical attributes of his little bug.
Life: 605 (life span 220 days)
Strength: 99
Defense: 60
Agility: 145
Talent: Hole Drilling lv2
Since he already had level 3 authority at this moment, Zhang Yang recruited 5 iron worms. This was one of the six templates that could be recruited in the micro-zerg village building order. A barracks was not required. As long as he had enough authority and resources, he could recruit them.
The ability of this iron worm is ground-burrowing attack + reconnaissance, and it can share the field of view with Zhang Yang, with a maximum shared field of view of 100 meters.
If Zhang Yang goes to explore the ruins of Li Village next, this kind of iron threadworm will be very useful for him to prevent him from being attacked by the Plague Snake Girl again.
Speaking of which, this is also the shortcoming of the little bug, after all, this unit is only good at digging holes.
It took a full five hours for Zhang Yang to regain his health points, but he did not forget to copy and visualize the soul nourishing talisman during this time. This was the core competitiveness.
Before setting off, Zhang Yang summoned five wireworms and used blue crystals to upgrade all their attributes.
Ironworm: Level 3
Life: 150 (life span 45 days)
Strength: 35
Defense: 35
Agility: 35
Talent: Scouting
—
With five wireworms, Zhang Yang rushed to the ruins of Li Village. It was already night, and the entire ruins of Li Village were filled with a black-green cursed mist, which showed that cursed creatures were more active at night.
If it were a human race, it would be impossible to get close, but for the infinite Zerg race, this kind of curse power is not afraid at all.
With five iron worms sharing the field of vision, there is no blind spot in the range that Zhang Yang can see.
Moreover, the iron worms sneak underground and are very concealed.
Zhang Yang did not dare to go deep into the ruins of Li Village, but just wandered around the periphery. He did not see high-level monsters such as the Plague Snake Girl. There were quite a few plague zombies, but these zombies did not even have killing information. The only value after killing them was Probably sent into the energy furnace.
Half an hour later, Zhang Yang finally discovered a plague snake girl through the wireworm's shared vision. It was waiting silently in the shadows and was difficult to find. Or, to be more precise, he would never be able to find it if he walked over by himself. The discovery was all due to the iron worm's scouting talent.
"Go draw it out."
Zhang Yang gave an order to an iron worm, and he was a little afraid of the plague snake woman who was hiding a full 200 meters away from the edge of the ruins.
However, when the iron worm wandered to a position fifty meters away from the plague snake, the plague snake discovered it and jumped like a chicken pecking at a grasshopper. I quickly grabbed the iron worm out of the ground and ate it. It was crunchy and tasted like chicken.
Seeing Zhang Yang was speechless.
He immediately ordered the second wireworm to come closer and lured the plague snake woman another fifty meters.
Then comes the third wireworm.
At this point, the plague snake girl finally entered the safe attack zone designated by Zhang Yang.
"Confinement!"
Then there's charging and biting. Facing the plague snake girl who can't fight back, Puppy Bug's burrowing skills are particularly useful.
After a while, Zhang Yang happily returned along the same route with the corpse of the plague snake girl.
This kind of developmental happiness is insignificant to outsiders.
Throughout the night, Zhang Yang made three trips, killing three plague snake girls at the cost of ten iron worms, and obtained six red crystals, twelve green crystals, and seventy blue crystals through the energy furnace.
In addition, Zhang Yang also obtained three incomplete plague information cards. He opened them anyway and listened. They were full of praises from some plague believers in offering sacrifices to the plague snake. They were of little significance. As for the accompanying curses, they were of course ignored.
After dawn, Zhang Yang consumed four red crystals to raise the authority level of the unlimited Zerg gene authority library to level 4. At this level, he could recruit another Zerg module, the Mantis.
This is a powerful fighting bug. Its combat power is much stronger than that of the small bug, and its defense is also higher, but its movement speed is slower.
After gaining level 4 authority, Zhang Yang immediately upgraded his attributes.
Life: 660 (life span 240 days)
Strength: 109
Defense: 66
Agility: 160
Talent: Hole Drilling lv3
Then, Zhang Yang recruited ten more mantises and ten iron worms. He also increased their attribute points to 30% in one go, and then ordered them to patrol and guard around the base.
And he himself was seizing the time to visualize and copy the soul-nurturing talisman. This was the key to his victory.
One day passed, and nothing unexpected happened. Only then did Zhang Yang lead all his men towards the ruins of Licun, the monster spawning point.
Ten mantises with all attributes increased by 30% are enough to tear apart a plague snake. Of course, about half will be killed or injured, but once the Zerg develops, the most important thing is quantity.
However, Zhang Yang did not intend to win with numbers. He still used the original method, which was the imprisonment of the giant ancient magic words + mantis insects. The plague snake girl in the ruins of Li Village was killed without being able to do so.
At dawn the next day, Zhang Yang brought back the bodies of four plague snake women and four upgraded mantises.
This was an unexpected bonus.
These mantises can actually be upgraded by hunting them.
So why can't the puppy be upgraded? Or because he is a Zerg hero.
Zhang Yang didn't think much and directly consumed eight red crystals to upgrade the level of the infinite Zerg gene authority library from level 4 to level 5.
Then he upgraded his attributes.
Life: 720 (life span 260 days)
Strength: 119
Defense: 73
Agility: 176
Talent: Hole Drilling lv3
Then the four mantis bugs were upgraded. They are now equal to all attributes +50%, which is more luxurious than Zhang Yang's little puppy bug.
Life: 750 (life span 280 days)
Strength: 150
Defense: 150
Agility: 90
Talent characteristics: Fury, Tear
"I don't know what the maximum permission level of this infinite Zerg gene permission library is. There should be an upper limit. Otherwise, if such crazy troops come out, they will be invincible!"
Zhang Yang thought expectantly.
