Using ants as the initial genetic template, it gradually grows into a terrifying bug swarm disaster...
(Feel free to comment if you have any good ideas)
...The Zerg army rested for a day, and now it needed to digest the effects of the previous series of battles.
Especially after the Beast God descended, Hun Tian's flesh and blood had been tainted with traces of divinity.
Hun Tian was already a diamond-level powerhouse, and when his flesh and blood were imbued with a touch of divinity, the energy contained within became incredibly terrifying.
Even within this flesh and blood lies a trace of the beast god's unwilling will.
This makes it very difficult to digest, and if not handled properly, it can easily backfire and kill you.
Zhao Zian removed the remaining divinity from the Chaos Blood Flesh and took a large piece home with him.
Once the barrier is activated, let's start grilling!
The flames, manifested by divine power, burned continuously, roasting the flesh and blood of the monsters before them until they turned golden brown.
This practice is incredibly extravagant, consuming a great deal of divine power every moment.
However, Zhao Zian's current power of faith is divided into two types. These divine flames consume very chaotic divine power, so he doesn't feel any pain in using them...
Although Zhao Zian's cooking skills were terrible, the monster meat grilled by this divine flame was just different.
The fragrance permeated everywhere.
The mouse, who was originally playing video games, also got hungry and wanted to eat meat...
"Phew...delicious..."
After Zhao Zian and Shushu finished eating the meat, they both showed satisfied smiles.
After processing, the meat of these magical beasts is indeed more chewy and flavorful than that of real-world creatures...
Besides Zhao Zian in reality, Xiao Yi and Xiao Er are also eating the flesh and blood left behind by Hun Tian in the Zerg's underground nest.
After consuming more than half of the flesh and blood, Xiao Yi and Xiao Er both declared that their cultivation was about to reach a bottleneck.
Using the flesh and blood of these magical beasts, Zhao Zian also gave them many magical beast cores as aids.
Even platinum-grade monster cores can be eaten freely.
Soon, both Xiao Yi and Xiao Er felt that their cultivation level was sufficient.
And they plan to start making a breakthrough...
This breakthrough came naturally, and both the first and second graders successfully broke through to a higher level.
Xiao Yi has reached the late Platinum level, while Xiao Er has reached the mid-Platinum level.
It's worth mentioning that Xiao Hong, who has been relatively inconspicuous lately, suddenly made a request to Zhao Zi'an.
Xiao Hong had a connection with the previous Hellfire Phoenix Butterfly monster core, and her subconscious yearned for this monster core.
Zhao Zian glanced at Xiao Hong's overflowing faith points, and without thinking much, directly gave Xiao Hong the demonic beast core of the Hellfire Phoenix Butterfly.
The moment Xiao Hong swallowed the magical beast crystal core, her entire body turned crimson red.
Then, it began frantically spitting out spider silk, wrapping itself into a cocoon.
Zhao Zian sensed that the aura inside the cocoon was relatively peaceful, and there were no signs of danger.
After devouring the Ironclaw Tiger, the Frozen Deer, and the Earth Bear.
The Zerg army's offensive and defensive capabilities have been improved, and its resistance to ice and earth magic has been enhanced.
Furthermore, it becomes more compatible with the earth element, greatly enhancing its digging ability!
With the end of the rest period, the Zerg hive did not see a significant increase in the number of Zerg this time.
The main issue is that millions of Zerg are more than enough, perhaps even a bit too many.
In the absence of war, the sheer number of Zerg would lead to a significant increase in their daily consumption of flesh and blood.
Therefore, there is absolutely no need to produce too many Zerg when there is no fighting.
Millions of Zerg, even if they don't produce any new Zerg units.
With so many mouths to feed, the amount of food they eat every day is astonishing!
There's no need to delay any longer; the massive sweep of the forest must begin immediately!
Currently, most of the powerful creatures in the forest have been eliminated.
Even if there are some hidden guys, they definitely won't be higher than diamond level.
Therefore, there's no need to gather all the Zerg together; that would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
The effort can be divided into several groups to more efficiently clean up forest resources.
Zhao Zian let Xiao Yi lead hundreds of thousands of Zerg alone. With Xiao Yi's strength, he could fight even a Diamond-level Zerg, so there was no need to worry about anything.
On the other side was a group of flesh-and-blood stitched monsters and Xiao Er, also leading hundreds of thousands of insectoids.
With the Flesh Stitcher's unparalleled strength below Diamond, nothing unexpected will happen. As for adding Xiao Er, it's just to guide the Flesh Stitcher.
After all, the flesh-and-blood stitched monster is indeed a bit brainless and needs a commander to make decisions.
As for the remaining two groups, they consisted of the remaining large number of undead creatures and two specialized ants.
The score is split evenly between each team.
The two local native monsters who surrendered, the Divine Wood Monkey and the Lightning Sheep, also joined the two teams respectively.
As the four insectoid armies advanced, any monsters in the forest that resisted were simply annihilated.
Only a few young monsters were left as seeds of revolution.
If they are willing to surrender, the Zerg will no longer pursue them relentlessly. They will be allowed to transform their Swarm Overlord into a faith. As long as Zhao Zian can sense the power of their faith, they will be spared.
If it was a feigned surrender, Zhao Zian would immediately realize that he hadn't gained any faith power.
At this point, we should handle it as the first scenario: a group of magical beasts that put up a stubborn resistance.
As time goes by...
The monster races in the forest have been completely wiped out by the insectoid army. The remaining ones are all obedient monsters that have submitted to the insectoids and worship the insectoid swarm's overlord.
There was no powerful race hiding its strength, as Zhao Zian had previously thought.
The only race that is somewhat troublesome is the Stone Bear race, which has two late-stage Gold level Stone Bears that are about to enter the Platinum level.
It is said that the Stone Armored Bear race shares a bloodline similar to the Earth Bear, and that they share a common ancestor.
These stone-armored bears put up a fierce resistance when the Zerg arrived, but were eventually wiped out by the Zerg...
Subsequently, the Zerg army began collecting resources from the forest.
Resources previously occupied by many monster races were confiscated.
Most of them are spiritual herbs that can aid in cultivation. There are many varieties of these herbs, and the herbs vary from place to place in the forest.
Although their functions differ, they are largely the same, all capable of improving cultivation to a certain extent or enhancing a specific attribute.
For example, the Mighty Grass that enhances strength.
The Lightning Fruit enhances agility.
And a small number of special resources.
Some of these resources are only needed at specific times.
Some of them are exclusive to certain monster races and cannot be used by other races at all.
For example, the Lava Turtle race, which was formed from volcanic crystals inside volcanoes.
These volcanic crystals can only be used by powerful fire-attribute magical beasts like the Lava Turtle.
Other magical beast races are simply unable to absorb the energy within the volcanic crystals.
And special herbs like hemostatic herbs that can heal injuries but cannot aid in cultivation.
In the forest, there is also a sacred spring, whose water is imbued with spiritual energy.
Furthermore, drinking water can enhance one's cultivation level, as the spiritual energy contained within water is very easy to digest...
