Not only was her back protruding, but her belly was also swollen and distended.

Its belly, filled with corrosive venom, lay directly on the ground.

The legs, which were originally used for movement, were now so heavy that the belly was pushing them out of the ground.

After evolving, their legs became too short to reach the ground.

Zhao Zian further improved the gene template.

The spider's eight legs were modified and transferred to the body of a new type of insect.

With its long, spider-like legs, this new type of insect can move freely even with large tumors on its body.

Although its large weight makes it move slightly slower than a normal spider, it's not to the point of being unable to move at all.

Now the basic framework for the new Zerg units is almost complete.

All that's missing now is the core device to detonate it.

Zhao Zian examined the monster cores he had acquired.

The Zerg Queen has also devoured many monster cores and has some understanding of them.

Monster cores are similar to inner cores.

The outer protective layer is used to bind the spiritual energy and prevent it from leaking out.

Furthermore, it can continuously compress the spiritual energy within the monster crystal core, causing the gaseous spiritual energy to gradually condense, eventually liquefying or even solidifying.

To form higher quality and stronger spiritual power.

This is the essence of evolving from a lower level to a higher level.

Once you reach a higher level, every gesture you make will possess spiritual energy fluctuations far exceeding those of lower levels.

The reason is that the quality of the spiritual energy within the body has become higher and stronger.

Zhao Zian even has another viewpoint.

Perhaps divine power is just a stronger form of spiritual power.

Put aside some other thoughts.

Zhao Zian began modifying the detonation core inside the poisonous insect based on the template of the monster crystal core.

...

A long time passed.

I experienced many failures, and even nearly exploded several times.

Zhao Zian finally managed to cobble together something that looked decent.

This thing is roughly the same as a fish bladder.

It combines the venom-producing glands of the Zerg with the bubble genes used by fish to store gas and maintain their balance.

Compared to the hard monster crystal core.

Zhao Zian modified the outer shell to be softer, making it easier to store the spiritual energy within his body.

Even if there are some fluctuations, they won't directly crack the outer shell.

Relatively speaking, it is safer.

Furthermore, this energy storage gland, which resembles a fish bubble, can slowly absorb energy outwards.

And after being absorbed, it can be continuously compressed within the body.

The compressed spiritual energy storage glands can generate even greater power when they explode.

Zhao Zian directly implanted the newly modified spiritual energy storage gland into the body of the poisonous insect.

As the queen ant laid eggs, one egg was ejected from her abdomen.

Zhao Zian did not want to wait for the insect eggs to hatch slowly.

He directly used divine power to envelop the insect egg, causing it to hatch at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Less than a minute later, the insect egg had hatched into an adult insect.

A venomous insect with eight spider legs and a disgustingly bloated body appeared before Zhao Zian's eyes.

This Baneling is no longer able to completely cover the Zerg's exoskeleton armor.

Because the glands in its body used to store corrosive venom and spiritual energy detonation devices are so enormous that they have become deformed.

The head and the front half of the body are also covered with a small amount of exoskeleton armor.

However, the exoskeleton armor on the rear half of the body cannot be covered at all.

Even if it's covered, it can easily be torn apart by a deformed body, like a tumor.

It's covered by only a thin outer layer of skin.

The entire abdomen and back were bulging, and through the thin outer skin, one could see the corrosive venom inside, as well as the organs that were moving.

Zhao Zian was quite satisfied with the new insect.

He planned to take the insect outside to test its power.

However, just as he was about to control the insect, an accident suddenly occurred.

The venomous insect, covered in tumor-like growths, only took a few steps.

I shook my belly a few times.

It seemed that the spiritual energy storage glands hidden in the abdomen had been disturbed.

The spiritual energy storage glands, which were originally like fish bubbles, suddenly began to fluctuate violently.

The originally smooth and flat fish-bubble-like surface is now uneven and undulating.

At the same time, the fluctuations of spiritual energy inside became extremely intense and chaotic.

Zhao Zian's eyes widened.

Don't!

Don't blow it up!

At least don't blow it up inside the Zerg nest!

However, things did not develop as Zhao Zian had hoped.

stretch!!

A muffled explosion suddenly came from underground.

This newly produced Baneling exploded right inside the Zerg underground lair...

The massive explosion spread throughout the Zerg hive.

It's important to know that Zerg lairs are now typically located tens of meters underground.

But this explosion caused such a violent tremor that even the ground felt the shockwave!

rustling sounds...

Large chunks of soil slowly began to fall down.

As the structure of the underground Zerg nest was destroyed, a large amount of soil fell off, and soon a large area of ​​soil collapsed.

The Zerg nest was simply buried...

From Zhao Zian's perspective, the screen went completely black, and he couldn't see anything.

"Go and save them!"

Zhao Zian sent rescue orders to other nearby nests.

Immediately, the other Zerg nearby rushed over and began clearing away the debris.

As a large amount of soil was cleared away.

Soon, the original Zerg nest was revealed.

This nest was a Zerg sub-base, and there weren't too many Zerg inside. Although it exploded, it didn't cause too much damage.

However, the power of the explosion was still evident, as a large amount of fungal carpet was directly destroyed.

Originally, the fungal carpet provided support, which could solidify the soil and make the Zerg nest more secure, preventing it from collapsing.

However, it was precisely the disappearance of the fungal carpet that led to the collapse of the nest.

The other worker ants nearby were blown to pieces on the spot...

Tiny fragments, densely packed together, were embedded in the soil; the largest piece was no more than one centimeter in size…

Besides worker ants, this insectoid nest only contained some insect eggs and the like.

And some larvae that haven't grown up yet, but even the adult large worker ants can't withstand them.

The power of the explosion was too great for these insect eggs and larvae to withstand, and none of them survived.

Only a few queen ants deep inside the nest were barely clinging to life.

As a queen ant, she is much larger than a regular insectoid and has much stronger vitality.

However, after experiencing an explosion and the collapse of their nest, their health is now in grave danger.

From Zhao Zi'an's godlike perspective, the life points of these Zerg queens were already turning red; if they weren't treated soon, they would probably die...
