Immediately afterwards, lines of information popped up rapidly in front of me.

"Promoted four ranks in a row!"

"The experience points gained from killing high-level dragons are indeed plentiful!"

Su Bai was in a great mood.

Half an hour later.

The battle is over.

Four hundred thousand infected organisms were all wiped out by the swarm.

However, the casualties among the insect swarms were greater than in the previous round.

2,640 springtails died.

820 hydralisks died.

422 cockroaches died.

Four alien dragons died.

2500 Exploding Bugs were consumed.

Infected human civilians, kobolds, and goblins are weak in combat.

However, the infected orcs, elves, giants, and dwarves still possess considerable fighting power.

Especially those red-eyed giants who are four meters tall.

Wielding a massive meteor hammer, he could even crack the heavy shells of cockroaches.

"In addition to the five thousand springtails that supported An Ruoyun."

"Currently, the territory contains a total of 1000 Flying Bugs, 9078 Hydralisks, 9578 Roach, 5000 Explosive Bugs, and 3000 Destroyers."

"Preparing for tomorrow, and the final large-scale attack, should not be a problem."

Su Bai looked around and muttered to himself.

The system notification sounded again.

[Note: Congratulations, Lord Su Bai, for successfully repelling the fourth large-scale attack!]

[Warning: The final large-scale attack will occur tomorrow!]

[Note: Congratulations, Lord Su Bai, for defeating a high-level infected red dragon, triggering the special achievement "Red Dragon Terminator"!]

[Hint: You've earned a special achievement reward!]

[Note: Reward has been credited to your account and automatically added to your storage space!]

"Red Dragon Terminator! Special Reward!"

Su Bai's eyes lit up, and his face lit up with joy.

He quickly opened the storage space.

Inside, neatly arranged, were ten extra cocoons resembling ostrich eggs.

[The Cocoon of the Lurker]

[Note: Hatching cannot be performed inside the storage space]

"A completely new unit!"

Su Bai couldn't wait any longer and took out ten cocoons from his storage space and placed them on the ground.

The fungal mat continuously delivers nutrients into the cocoon.

Their size is getting bigger and bigger.

Five minutes later.

With a "bang".

The cocoon broke apart.

A brand new Zerg unit has appeared in the territory.

It is one meter tall and about one and a half meters long.

It has four legs, but its movement speed is not very fast.

A pair of sharp claws extend from both sides of the head.

Its back is covered with rows of spines.

Infiltrators

[The Infiltrator]

[Level: Lv1]

Race: Interstellar Zerg

[Quality: A Myth of Ultimate Excellence]

[Weapon: Earth-Shaking Spikes]

[High-density, retractable spikes that can quickly displace soil and pierce through enemy flesh and steel]

[Attack range: 600 meters]

[Talent: Digging Claws]

The Lurker is a subterranean creature that, through long-term evolution, developed a pair of sharp claws that gave it the special ability to control the soil.

[Skill: Burrow]

[They burrow underground, remaining immobile but capable of attacking. Enemies cannot detect them without prior reconnaissance.]

[Combat Power: Level 5]

Loyalty: 100

[Description: Anti-ground ambush unit. Possesses spine attack capabilities, capable of damaging all enemies in the line of fire, but must burrow underground before it can attack.]

"Linear AoE damage!"

"Attack range: 600 meters!"

"It can only attack while burrowed, making it more suitable for defensive operations!"

"Furthermore, when buried underground, it's not easy to be detected!"

"If we go out to fight, ambushing the enemy in key positions and attacking them will definitely produce unexpected results!"

"From this day forward, I have gained another powerful unit under my command!"

Su Bai's face lit up with joy, and the corners of his mouth turned up in delight.

Hydralisks, Roach, and Parasitic Dragons are all single-target attackers.

The Destroyer's basic attack, Flame Breath, is a single-target attack, while its skill, Flame Cannonball, deals AoE damage over a small area.

Only lurking agents can cause widespread group damage.

Kerrigan shifted her gaze to the ten Lurkers before her and said, "These subterranean creatures evolved specifically to deal with enemies on the surface."

"It launches a surprise attack from underground, with sharp spikes piercing the surface. The explosive force is so strong that it can even cause local earthquakes."

"If you encounter a swarm of light units, the kill efficiency is terrifying, enough to awaken the enemy's infinite fear of the swarm."

"But be very careful, they can only launch an attack when they are burrowed."

Su Bai's eyes lit up: "The Lurkers can cause group damage, which is perfect for defending territory and killing infected creatures that are grouped together."

Abathur stepped forward and circled the infiltrator three times.

He began:

"The ability to launch attacks while burrowing is relatively rare among the Zerg."

"High-density, retractable spines with bone spikes, which suddenly erupt from underground, can pose a sudden and enormous threat to the enemy."

"The main functions are to defend the nests, harass the enemy's supply lines, and ambush enemy troops passing through narrow areas and choke points."

Su Bai nodded slightly and ordered ten lurkers to infiltrate the underground area at the edge of the territory.

Tonight, with their protection, we can withstand the attacks of infected creatures in twos and threes.

“On the surface, the Lurker is a clumsy, non-aggressive creature; they’re rather slow,” Kerrigan said.

Su Bai pondered for a moment: "This is a technically skilled unit, and it must be used properly to bring out its unique potential."

However, like the alien dragon.

Infiltrators cannot be recruited independently at the moment.

Their numbers are too small to be significant enough to make them the main force of the swarm in the short term.
