[Note: After upgrading, Talent 2 - Efficient Conversion is enhanced, with a 50% chance to double the biomass production.]
[Note: After upgrading, the skill "Hatch the Poisonous Nest" is strengthened, with a maximum number of uses increased by 6, and deals greater damage to enemy units upon explosion.]
[Note: A new skill has been awakened - Group Healing]
"Excellent! You've been promoted three ranks again!"
Su Bai grinned.
Originally, the Venomous Nest could store up to 8 uses.
Now it's 14 times!
"Let's see what this brand new skill does!"
Su Bai shifted his gaze and fixed it on Abathur.
[Skill 2: Group Healing]
Abathur converts biomass into a gaseous state and releases it in the surrounding area. Allied biological units within a 3000-meter radius are immediately healed and granted a continuous healing effect for 10 seconds.
"Area-of-effect healing skills are indeed lacking at present!"
Su Bai nodded slightly.
The siege was a great success, resulting in a brilliant victory.
However, some insects also suffered casualties.
Fifty cockroaches died.
The vast majority were killed by elemental arrows fired from elemental defense towers.
A small number of unlucky ones were shot in the head by the dwarven musketeers and died on the spot.
105 springtails died.
25 hydralisks died.
60 Exploding Bugs were consumed.
"Siege battles are quite costly, and without cockroaches at the front, it would be a real problem!" Su Bai couldn't help but sigh.
The same dwarf army, if the insect swarm were to engage them in a decisive battle in the open field, could quickly achieve victory.
As for the exploding insects, there's absolutely no need to deploy them.
Siege warfare presents challenges due to the dual obstacles of city walls and defensive towers.
More than a thousand dwarven musketeers stood guard on the city wall, firing their guns. The bullets struck the cockroaches' heavy carapaces, and many bounced off.
As a result, hundreds of springtails and hydralisks were accidentally injured by stray bullets.
There are only 28 queens in the territory, so healing them will definitely be time-consuming and laborious.
But now, with Abathur's group healing, the problem is solved.
Su Bai cleared his throat and said, "Abathur, use the skill Heal the Swarm!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Abathur closed his eyes, exuding a unique aura.
Immediately afterwards, the three pairs of forelimbs spread out.
Gentle waves of energy quietly appeared centered on his body.
Injured springtails and hydralisks, after being enveloped by this blast of air, began to heal their bloody wounds rapidly.
Ten seconds later.
They recovered completely and became lively and energetic again.
"good!"
"A very useful skill."
"From now on, the casualty rate of the insect swarm will be reduced to another level."
Su Bai smiled, a hint of joy on his face.
Just then, the system's mechanical synthesized voice sounded again.
[Hint: You have obtained 522 long-barreled muskets. Do you wish to dismantle them?]
[Hint: You have obtained 204 battle axes. Do you wish to dismantle them?]
[Hint: You have obtained 98 long-handled battle axes. Do you wish to dismantle them?]
"Decompose everything!"
Su Bai murmured to himself.
[Automatic decomposition in progress]
[Iron Block +2800]
[Congratulations, Lord! With the enhanced effect of the Prayer, the amount of iron blocks obtained has increased tenfold.]
[Iron Block+]
A large portion of the weapons in the dwarves' hands were corroded by the acidic saliva of cockroaches.
Only a small portion remains that can be broken down as spoils of war.
"A triumphant return!"
One last look at the dwarven territory, now reduced to ruins.
With a wave of his hand, Su Bai led Kerrigan, Abathur, and the Zerg army toward the territory.
Before leaving, the dead springtails, hydralisks, and cockroaches were gathered together and cremated.
If left unattended, they would become food for wild animals, and Su Bai felt somewhat guilty about it.
...
...
The bright dusk, with light and shadow changing rapidly.
The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the vast wilderness.
Before nightfall, Su Bai led the insect swarm back to their territory.
Although he felt physically exhausted after the battle, Su Bai's heart was filled with joy.
The resounding victory in the siege demonstrates that the Zerg swarm can adapt to different battlefield environments.
Having been tested in actual combat, Su Bai will be more confident when facing this type of battle in the future.
Moreover, it unlocked a completely new tactic.
The alien dragon, carrying exploding insects, launched an air-drop bombardment.
In terms of actual combat effectiveness, it is quite remarkable, capable of inflicting unexpected and significant damage on the enemy.
Before long, the worker bees and young worker bees that had gone out to collect resources returned to their territory one after another.
A system notification appeared before Su Bai's eyes.
[Hint: Your worker bee has discovered a thicket and collected 2000 wood!]
[Congratulations, Lord! With the enhanced effect of the Prayer, the amount of wood obtained has increased tenfold!]
[Timber+]
[Hint: Your worker bee has discovered a miniature stone mine and collected 1500 stones!]
[Congratulations, Lord! With the enhanced effect of the Prayer, the number of stones obtained has increased tenfold!]
【Stone+】
[Hint: Your young worker bee has discovered an underground mine and collected 1200 iron blocks!]
[Congratulations, Lord! With the enhanced effect of the Prayer, the amount of iron blocks obtained has increased tenfold!]
[Iron Block+]
"Very good! Go and rest!"
Su Bai smiled broadly.
Five worker bees and four juvenile worker bees, with their plump bodies, swarmed over.
It circled around Su Bai, rubbed against his legs, and then left.
"It seems my affability is quite good!" Su Bai said with a smile.
Next, he opened the storage space.
Take out the extra reward obtained after destroying the Indian territory: a bronze treasure chest.
The quality of the treasure chests, from lowest to highest, is as follows:
Wooden treasure chest;
Black Iron Treasure Chest;
Bronze treasure chest;
Silver treasure chest;
Golden Treasure Chest;
Platinum Treasure Chest;
Diamond Treasure Chest;
Supreme Treasure Chest;
Sacred Treasure Chest.
There are also some special treasure chests, each with different functions and uses.
Let's see how lucky we are!
As he spoke, Su Bai gripped the handle and opened the bronze treasure chest.
At the bottom of the box lay a gleaming blueprint.
[Blueprint: Orc Blacksmith Shop]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Function: After the orc blacksmith settles in, he can forge related weapons and equipment]
[Requires: 2000 wood, 2000 stone, 5000 iron blocks]
"My luck is a bit off!"
"What was unearthed was actually architectural blueprints of the orc race."
"The Zerg have absolutely no need for it."
Su Bai frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.
I opened the trading system and put it on.
