Chapter 54 Queen Hatching, Creep Covering

"Bang bang bang!"

The fists pounded down relentlessly, inflicting heavy casualties on the goblin overseer, who screamed in pain as he was beaten.

The battle ended in no time.

"The treant warriors summoned by the elven warlock are quite powerful!"

Bai Mengyu smiled, her dimples slightly sunken.

Immediately afterwards, a group of goblins carrying iron pickaxes ran out of the mine.

There are approximately twenty people.

Goblin Miner

[Quality: Average]

[Level: Lv1]

[Introduction: Goblin miners are skilled at gathering resources, but they are timid and cowardly, and tend to surrender. They only become fierce and fight for their survival when they have no other choice but to retreat.]

"Great human lord, we are willing to surrender, to gather resources for you, and to expand your territory!"

The goblin miners knelt down and shouted in unison.

At that moment, a synthesized mechanical voice from the system sounded in my ear.

[Hint: 20 goblin miners have surrendered. Do you accept?]

[Note: If you accept the surrender, the system will automatically generate a contract, making them an affiliated soldier of the territory.]

"I accept your surrender!"

Bai Mengyu cleared her throat, her voice solemn.

"Thank you! Great human lord! We will strive for your territory from now on!" the twenty goblin miners shouted in unison.

"Now, you may begin mining. I will send some soldiers to protect you!"

Bai Mengyu gave the order.

My luck today was pretty good.

With the addition of these goblin miners, the speed of resource gathering will become much faster.

Su Bai, you have to keep it up!

However, even if you lie flat, it's not a big deal!

I've got your back!

...

...

At this moment, the Japanese lord, Shun Koishikawa, is in high spirits, upgrading the level of his territory and military camp.

Yesterday's battle with the high elves yielded him many souls and low-level energy gems.

Therefore, it was possible to upgrade both the territory and the barracks by one level in one go.

"Yoshi!"

"The soldiers newly recruited today will have their level increased by one level."

"Under my leadership, the Great Japanese Empire will surely reach its glorious peak."

"Now, begin recruitment!"

A short while later.

Eight demonic hounds made of white bones, with green flames burning in their eyes, ran out of the barracks.

Currently, Shun Koishikawa's territory contains a total of 20 Demon Hounds and 1 high-level unit, the Hellfire.

"Soldiers of the Demon Clan, for the glory of the Great Japanese Empire, follow me out to slay monsters!"

"This year, the Great Japanese Empire will surely rebuild its former glory and trample the Dragon Kingdom and the Bear Kingdom under its feet!"

With an excited expression and a strong sense of fervor in his eyes, Koishikawa Shun strode out of the territory.

...

...

A vast wilderness.

"My lord, a group of mutated pythons has been spotted ahead!"

Kerrigan's gaze sharpened as she pointed northwest and spoke.

"After searching for a full half hour, the snake-like monster finally appeared!"

Su Bai rubbed his hands together, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

These are a group of ordinary quality, level Lv2 mutated pythons.

There are approximately a dozen or so.

If 300 springtails rushed over and took turns spitting, they could probably drown the mutated pythons.

Of course, this is on the premise that springtails can spit.

More than a dozen mutated pythons lit up their vertical pupils. Upon seeing the dense swarm of leaping insects and thorny snakes, they twisted their bodies, preparing to flee.

"Kill them!"

Su Bai shouted loudly.

"roar!"

The leaping insect roared and charged forward on all fours.

With the "Swiftness" talent, they are extremely fast.

These mutated pythons have no chance of escaping.

The battle was over in a very short time.

As the springtails fought over the python meat, a system notification appeared before their eyes.

The Soul of a Weak Beast

Quantity: 16

[Automatic decomposition in progress]

【Soul+32】

[Congratulations, Lord! With the enhanced effect of the Prayer, the number of Souls obtained has increased tenfold.]

【Soul +320】

[Hint: Item dropped, obtained 9 snake gallbladders]

[Congratulations, Lord! With the enhanced effect of the Prayer, the number of snake gallbladders obtained has increased tenfold.]

[Snake gall +90]

"The queen's evolutionary sequence, which requires 40 snake gallbladders to hatch creep tumors, is now more than enough!"

Su Bai did not linger.

He immediately led Kerrigan, Zerglings, and Hydralisks toward the territory.

Fifteen minutes later.

Su Bai was already standing in front of the evolution chamber.

"upgrade!"

【Biomass-400】

[Snake Gallbladder-40]

Beneath the queen's segmented carapace, in the abdominal region, the abdomen begins to swell.

Three minutes later.

A system notification appeared before my eyes.

[Congratulations, Lord Su Bai! The Queen Insect Evolution Sequence - Hatching Creep Tumor has been successfully upgraded.]

At the same time, an additional attribute has been added to the Queen's detailed information.

[Hatch Creep Tumor: Creates a creep tumor, extending the creep's range and greatly increasing the Queen's mobility. All Zerg soldiers can move at a faster speed on creep.]

Su Bai issued the order:

"Queen Insect, begin hatching the fungal tumors!"

The five queens raised their spider-like long legs and slowly made their way in five different directions of their territory.

"This speed is indeed slow! If it were a jumping insect, it would probably have made several rounds in a row," Su Bai couldn't help but sigh.

Finally, the five queens arrived at their respective positions.

The abdomen became even more bloated.

Thirty seconds later.

A dark purple fungal tumor emerged from the queen's abdomen.

They resembled a fluid substance, with the vast majority of them merging into the underground.

[Flora-like Tumors]

[Description: A type of burrowing fungal mat secretory gland that produces a mat covered with microfilamentous material]

Coverage range: 1000 meters in diameter

[Bonus Effect: Zerg move faster on creep, and creep continuously heals the swarm]

[Characteristic: A creep tumor can divide again, producing an additional creep tumor]

[Note: It can only divide once. After 24 hours, the new fungal tumor can divide again.]

"Holy crap!"

"Is the fungal carpet really that powerful?"

"Not only can it speed up the movement of the swarm, it also has a healing effect!"

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

The fungal tumor began to secrete fungal growth, and the surrounding ground turned a light purple color at a visible rate.

The queen's movement speed increased instantly, becoming comparable to that of the hydralisk.

Su Bai felt that his speed seemed to increase as he stepped on the fungal carpet.

Perhaps this is a power that the Zerg are giving back to their Overlords.

The biggest increase was seen in springtails, whose speed increased by nearly half, making them as fast as the wind.

“The fungal tumor can divide again and produce new individuals.”

"This is simply endless, generation after generation."

"If the number of queens increases, they will produce more carpet tumors, and the carpet will spread faster."

“A radius of one thousand meters, ten thousand meters, or even one hundred thousand meters will be covered by the fungal carpet.”

"The Zerg can then unleash even greater combat power, and the Queen can also fight alongside the main force, greatly enhancing the Zerg swarm's endurance in combat."

"If one day, the Land of Redemption is covered with creep, then I will be able to unify the whole world!"

Su Bai was full of vigor, his eyes sparkling with light.
