Chapter 370 Mantis
Zhang Yang decided to build a Zerg base.
The fact that the Infinite Zerg are not affected by the Plague Serpents' curse is enough to give them an advantage.
However, his micro-village construction order currently only opens the lv2 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 second type of Zerg breeding pool has the specific function of throwing the bodies of infinite Zerg killed in battle into it, and a small amount of energy crystals can also be extracted.
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.
He used up all ten green crystals for this purpose.
Three hours later, two Zerg buildings were completed one after another.
The energy furnace is not a big furnace, but rather a large bowl with all kinds of strange lines engraved on it, like some kind of magic circle.
Zhang Yang put the corpse of the plague snake woman in, and used three blue crystals to start the energy furnace. As he expected, the energy contained in the blue crystals activated those strange lines, and these lines quickly brightened up, forming some kind of mysterious force field. Before his eyes, the corpse of the plague snake woman was decomposed and turned into various floating particles, which were colorful and very beautiful.
After more than ten minutes, these floating particles cooled and solidified, forming a crystal state in the energy furnace. These were the resources needed for the Zerg to build a village.
Zhang Yang didn't even have time to marvel at the Infinite Zerg's technology, because he had reaped a huge harvest this time. A plague snake girl actually contributed two red crystals, five green crystals, and twenty-four blue crystals.
But think about it, it is natural. The plague snake girl is of a very high level and very powerful. If Zhang Yang had not used the ancient magic language of Juque, even fifty puppy worms might not be able to kill it.
Without saying a word, Zhang Yang consumed two red crystals and raised the level of the Infinite Zerg Gene Authority Library to level 3, which still increased all attributes by 10%.
Then he consumed another 10 pieces of blue crystals to improve the physical attributes of his little dog worm.
Life: 605 (lifespan 220 days) Strength: 99 Defense: 60 Agility: 145 Talent: Digging level 2 Since he already had level 3 authority at this point, Zhang Yang recruited 5 iron wire worms, which is one of the six templates that can be recruited by the Micro Zerg Village Building Order. It does not require a barracks and can be recruited as long as the authority and resources are sufficient.
The ability of this wireworm is burrowing attack + reconnaissance. It can share vision with Zhang Yang, and the maximum shared vision range is 100 meters.
If Zhang Yang wants to explore the ruins of Li Village next time, this kind of iron wire worm will be very useful to him, so that he will not be attacked by the plague snake woman again.
This is also the disadvantage of the puppy worm. After all, this type of soldier is only good at digging holes.
It took Zhang Yang five full hours to restore his health, but during this time he did not forget to constantly copy and visualize the Soul-Nourishing Talisman, which was his core competitiveness.
Before setting off, Zhang Yang summoned five iron wire worms and used blue crystals to upgrade all their attributes.
Iron nematode: Level 3
Health: 150 (lifespan 45 days) Strength: 35 Defense: 35 Agility: 35 Talent: Reconnaissance
——
Carrying five iron wire worms, Zhang Yang rushed to the ruins of Li Village. It was already night, and the entire ruins of Li Village was filled with a layer of black and green curse mist, which meant that the cursed creatures were more active at night.
If it were the human race, they would not be able to get close at all, but for the Infinite Zerg, this curse power is not something they are afraid of at all.
With five iron wire worms sharing the field of vision, there are no blind spots in Zhang Yang's field of vision.
Moreover, the wireworms lurk underground and are very well hidden.
Zhang Yang did not dare to go deep into the ruins of Li Village, but just wandered around the periphery. He did not see any high-level monsters like the Plague Snake Lady for the time being, but there were quite a few Plague Zombies. However, there was no information about how to kill these zombies, and their only value after being killed was probably to be sent into the energy furnace.
Half an hour later, Zhang Yang finally discovered a plague snake woman through the shared vision of the wireworm. It was waiting silently in the shadows and was difficult to be discovered. Or to be more precise, if he walked over himself, he would never be able to discover it. This was all thanks to the wireworm's reconnaissance talent.
"Go draw it out."
Zhang Yang gave an order to a wireworm. The plague snake woman was hiding 200 meters deep from the edge of the ruins, and he was a little afraid.
However, when the wireworm swam to a position within fifty meters of the plague snake woman, the plague snake woman unexpectedly discovered it. With a jump, she grabbed the wireworm from the ground and ate it neatly, just like a chick pecking at a grasshopper. It was crunchy and tasted like chicken.
Zhang Yang was speechless after seeing this.
He immediately ordered the second iron wire worm to move closer and lead the plague snake woman another fifty meters away.
Then there is the third wireworm.
At this point, the plague snake woman finally entered the safe attack zone designated by Zhang Yang.
"Imprison!"
Then it's charge and bite. Facing the plague snake girl who can't fight back, the little dog worm's hole-digging skill is particularly useful.
A moment later, Zhang Yang happily returned along the same route carrying the corpse of the plague snake woman.
The joy of this kind of development is insignificant to outsiders.
Zhang Yang ran three times throughout the night and killed three plague snake women at the cost of ten iron wire worms. He obtained six red crystals, twelve green crystals, and seventy blue crystals through the energy furnace.
In addition, Zhang Yang also got three incomplete plague information cards. He opened them and listened to them. They were all praises from plague believers worshiping the plague snake, which were of little significance. As for the attached curses, he of course ignored them.
After dawn, Zhang Yang consumed four red crystals and upgraded the permission level of the Infinite Zerg Gene Permission Library to level 4. At this level, he could recruit another Zerg module, the mantis.
This is a powerful fighting Zerg. Its combat power is much stronger than that of the Zergling, and its defense is also high, but its movement speed is relatively slow.
After obtaining level 4 authority, Zhang Yang immediately upgraded his attributes.
Health: 660 (lifespan 240 days) Strength: 109 Defense: 66 Agility: 160 Talent: Digging level 3 Then, Zhang Yang recruited ten mantis worms and ten iron wire worms, and increased their attribute points to 30% in one go, and then ordered them to patrol and guard around the base.
He himself took the time to visualize and copy the Soul-Nourishing Talisman, which was the key to his victory.
A day passed without any accidents, so Zhang Yang led all his men to the monster spawning point at the ruins of Li Village.
Ten mantis insects with 30% increased attributes are enough to tear a plague snake girl into pieces. Of course, about half of them will be killed or injured, but once the Zerg develops, the thing they have the most is numbers.
However, Zhang Yang did not intend to win by numbers. He still used the original routine, Juque ancient magic confinement + mantis worm, and the plague snake girl in the ruins of Li Village could not run wild and was killed.
At dawn the next day, Zhang Yang brought back the corpses of four plague snake ladies and four upgraded mantis insects.
This was an unexpected gain.
These mantis insects can actually be upgraded through hunting.
So why can't Zergling level up? Or is it because he is a Zerg hero?
Zhang Yang didn't think much about it 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.
Health: 720 (lifespan 260 days) Strength: 119 Defense: 73 Agility: 176 Talent: Digging level 3 Then I upgraded the four mantis worms. Now they have all attributes +50%, which is more luxurious than Zhang Yang's puppy worms.
Life: 750 (lifespan 280 days) Strength: 150 Defense: 150 Agility: 90 Talent characteristics: Rage, Tear
"I don't know what the highest level of permission for this infinite Zerg gene permission library is. There should be an upper limit, otherwise such a crazy surge of troops would be simply invincible!"
Zhang Yang thought with anticipation.
