[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.]
The fungal tumor begins to secrete fungal growths.
The previously uncovered ground is turning a light purple color at a visible speed.
Currently, the total number of fungal tumors is 38.
The number of new cases on the second day was 28.
The area covered by the fungal mat is continuously expanding.
However, newly divided creep tumors that stray too far from the territory will be destroyed by wild beasts roaming the wilderness.
The nearby fungal mats will also die within an hour.
Only by killing all the wild beasts within its territory can the creep extend to a greater distance.
"Upgrade the main hive!"
Su Bai issued the order.
[Timber - 5000]
【Stone-5000】
[Basic Energy Gem - 2000]
The main nest was enveloped in a layer of purple light.
Its purplish-gray shell shimmered with a faint, eerie light, and the surrounding tentacles began to surge violently.
Two minutes later.
[Congratulations, Lord Su Bai, your main nest has been successfully upgraded!]
[Main Nest Level Reached Lv7]
The number of larvae hatching increases by 20 every 24 hours.
Currently, a total of 100 larvae can hatch every 24 hours.
Immediately afterwards, plump larvae hatched from the main nest.
"Let's save these 100 larvae for now, and mutate them into combat units later!" Su Bai decided.
After the upgrade, only 260 primary energy gems remained in the territory, insufficient to support further upgrades.
Su Bai walked to the manor gate and began the daily free recruitment.
A fleshy worker bee emerged from it.
"Worker bees and young worker bees, go out to collect resources!"
After saying this, Su Bai ordered Kerrigan to take 500 Zerglings and 500 Hydralisks and leave the territory to sweep away the surrounding beasts and monsters.
...
...
On the other side.
On the wilderness.
An Indian lord named Hendrika surveyed the troops within his territory, a satisfied look on his face.
"I arrived in the Land of Redemption last year, and in just one year, I raised my territory to level 10!"
"Such outstanding talent is enough to greatly improve my status and position, and it is even very possible for me to become a member of an upper caste."
"Moreover, I awakened a Lord's Mark of excellent quality, and my accompanying race is the very powerful Wasteland Dwarfs."
"In just one year, they have amassed more than 2,000 soldiers, enough to dominate this region."
Hendrik's source of pride, of course, was the dwarf army under his command.
1,000 dwarven musketeers.
800 dwarven berserkers.
Dwarf Bear Cavalry, 200 men.
"Dwarven warriors, come with me to hunt down the wild beasts. Leave 200 musketeers to guard the territory, and the rest of you dwarves, depart immediately!"
Hendrik waved his hand and led his troops away from the territory.
The reason he left only a small number of troops to guard the area was because a stone wall stood around his territory.
It is five meters tall and extremely sturdy.
In addition, twenty defensive towers stand on each city wall.
"With such tight defenses, I wouldn't be afraid even if a level 20 lord of a territory attacked me!"
Hendrik strode forward, a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
Just then, a herd of mammoths came charging towards them.
It is enormous in size and has an outer skin as hard as iron.
"A mere 'excellent quality' level 8 beast? It's practically courting death!"
"Long-range strike, destroy them!"
The words fell.
The dwarven musketeers quickly lined up, forming five rows.
They picked up their long-barreled muskets and attacked in platoons, taking turns.
Load, aim, fire.
"Bang bang bang!"
The smoke of gunpowder filled the field.
All eighty-odd mammoths perished on the way to the charge.
Hendrik was smug, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"The dwarves' fighting power is simply too formidable!"
"This year, a new lord emerged in the Dragon Kingdom, who actually gained more than 30,000 points and topped the leaderboard."
"I hope I can meet him again in the future, kill him in one fell swoop, and take all his resources. Just thinking about it is wonderful."
“If he were a lord of the same era as me, I definitely couldn’t beat him.”
"But I arrived in the Land of Redemption last year, a year ahead in development, so I still easily crushed him, didn't I?"
"I heard that this Dragon Kingdom lord is of the insect race. He must have been lucky to reach the top of the list."
"What was your name again? I just can't remember."
"Never mind, I'll just ask someone else."
...
...
Two hours later.
Lines of system notifications appeared in front of Su Bai.
[Battle Alert: The Queen of Blades led her Zerg swarm to a decisive victory against the Armored Lions, suffering no casualties!]
[The robust spirit of a beast]
Quantity: 80
[Automatic decomposition in progress]
【Soul +400】
[Congratulations, Lord! With the enhanced effect of the Prayer, the number of Souls obtained has increased tenfold.]
【Soul +4000】
[Hint: Item dropped, obtained 180 basic energy gems]
[Congratulations, Lord! With the enhanced effect of the Prayer, the number of basic Energy Gems obtained has increased tenfold.]
[Basic Energy Gem +1800]
"The batch of Zerglings and Hydralisks that Kerrigan took out will have another feast!" Su Bai said with a smile.
It must be said that if the troops under one's command are highly capable in combat.
As a lord, one can simply lie low.
For example, right now, the Queen of Blades is leading the swarm to wipe out the beasts, and Su Bai doesn't need to worry about it at all.
After leaning against the queen's deep purple carapace and basking in the sun for five minutes...
Su Bai stood up and muttered to himself:
"A chef who doesn't aspire to be a tailor can't be a good driver! You can't just give up; you have to maintain passion and ambition!"
He then ordered 1,000 springtails to go out and roam around the territory.
The main purpose was to investigate whether there were any indigenous settlements in the surrounding area.
Half an hour later.
The springtails moving in the northeast direction transmitted a message back to Su Bai via telepathy.
Two forces have been discovered to be at war.
Because springtails have simple gene sequences and their DNA encodes all sorts of fighting instincts, the only information they can transmit back is this.
"That's interesting!"
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
"Let's see if I can be the one who reaps the benefits without lifting a finger."
Without hesitation, Su Bai led 200 springtails and 500 hydralisks northeastward.
The rest of the troops were handed over to Abathur to guard the home base.
