After the battle, Zhao Zian was also quite tired.
After all, such a large-scale battle greatly depleted his mental energy as the controller.
Often, there are complex situations on the battlefield that require him to make some micro-management moves, which are very mentally taxing.
Zhao Zian was extremely stingy and unwilling to use his divine power to restore his spiritual strength, so he could only endure it on his own.
However, this also has its advantages.
Only by pushing one's mental energy to its limits and constantly pushing it to the extreme can one's mental energy grow more rapidly.
With little fighting around, Zhao Zian simply wandered about the Zerg nest.
Look at how large the Zerg hives have grown to now.
Then I thought back to when we first arrived, the Zerg were very weak.
Seeing that there were only a few hundred of them, Zhao Zian was also very emotional.
The Zerg hives are now completely covered with creep, allowing the Zerg army to replenish their energy whenever they are hungry by simply munching on the creep.
Furthermore, it seems that Zerg can gain some movement speed when moving on creep.
The creep automatically smooths out as the Zerg move past, making the originally uneven path much easier to navigate.
This allows the Zerg army to move at a faster speed.
When hostile creatures come above the Legion, the creep will automatically make the roadside uneven.
The tiny mycelium will also occasionally entangle the enemy, slowing down their movement speed.
Zhao Zian continued to check the condition of the fungal mat.
The creep he's creating is increasingly aligning with his vision of the Zerg creep in the StarCraft universe.
Zhao Zian even had a vague feeling that the legion in front of him seemed to have its own consciousness.
When Zhao Zian observed the fungal carpet from a divine perspective, the fungal carpet seemed to sense his observation.
The mycelium kept waving, as if welcoming Zhao Zian's arrival.
When Zhao Zian shifted the view to a spot in the Zerg nest where food was stored.
The worker ants are going in and out of here, carrying all the food from outside over here.
Meanwhile, a large number of queen ants are constantly devouring food here, while their rear ends are continuously spraying out insect eggs.
Beside these queen ants were many newly hatched larvae and eggs that were still hatching.
Suddenly, Zhao Zian was drawn to a particular spot of insect eggs.
It seems that the queen ant used too much force when spraying the eggs.
Or perhaps these insect eggs are very elastic.
In short, after the queen ant sprayed out the eggs, several eggs bounced a few times on the ground and flew directly into the nearby fungal carpet.
And coincidentally, there were also many transported meat and blood foods placed near the fungal carpet.
After sensing the presence of insect eggs above, these mycelia actually enveloped the eggs.
Zhao Zian was somewhat puzzled. He had conducted experiments before, and the mycelium did not harm friendly units.
These insect eggs are all our own; when they grow up, they will become Zerg units to fight.
What does it mean to bring out these mycelia?
Do you mean you want to absorb all the nutrients inside the insect eggs?
However, the actual situation was beyond Zhao Zian's expectations.
After the mycelium enveloped the insect eggs, a faint blood-red color could be seen floating around them.
Zhao Zian blinked, his mind racing with memories.
This crimson hue seems very similar to that of dragon's blood grass.
That unique charm is something that nothing else can imitate.
After these mycelia turned blood red, the insect eggs they encased also gradually turned blood red.
Then the mycelium slowly released the insect eggs, pushing them out.
And coincidentally, there was a lot of fresh flesh and blood nearby, which was the flesh and blood of the mantis, and it was still fresh.
The insect eggs were pushed right next to the flesh and blood, very close to it.
On the surface of these insect eggs, some fuzzy things gradually emerged.
Zhao Zi'an looked closely and realized that the fuzzy things on it were small mycelia!
These mycelia seemed to have some kind of connection with the roots of the plant.
It pierced straight into the flesh next to it.
The small piece of flesh that was being touched by the insect egg was instantly and frantically having its nutrients absorbed.
Soon, the surrounding flesh and blood gradually withered and faded.
The insect egg, on the other hand, became exceptionally clear and plump, and grew much larger.
The insect egg grew at a visible speed, and a creature with a faint blood-red hue emerged from it.
From the moment it began absorbing flesh and blood until it grew into a mature Zerg, only about ten minutes had passed!
Judging from its appearance, it looks a bit like a springtail.
However, it is smaller in size.
And there seemed to be several tentacles on its back that resembled mycelium.
Suddenly, this inexplicable insectoid creature pierced its back tentacles into its flesh.
The flesh and blood immediately shrank a bit more, while the insectoid creature grew even larger!
What is that?
What the heck?
Their own Zerg army, thanks to Xiao Yi's rapid reproduction ability.
It only takes a few hours for the insect to grow from an egg to a mature organism.
This is already extremely outrageous.
Normally, even the fastest insects in nature take about ten days to hatch into adults.
The fact that a bug can grow to adulthood in just a few hours is already incredibly abnormal.
The result? This new Zerg unit actually transformed from an egg into an adult Zerg in less than ten minutes!
Zhao Zian had never seen this new Zerg unit before, but he could sense the connection between the Zerg and himself.
Clearly, this is also one of his followers.
"It seems to be a Zerg unit that grows rapidly by absorbing the flesh and blood of other creatures? It's kind of like a parasite..."
"But the key is that I've never seen this new Zerg unit before. Although it looks similar to the Zergling, there are still some differences..."
"Could it be that Xiao Yi and Xiao Er secretly developed a new Zerg unit? Haven't they told me yet? Are they trying to surprise me?"
Zhao Zian was also a little undecided.
He was too lazy to think too much and started asking Xiao Yi directly.
Zhao Zian switched the divine perspective to Xiao Yi's side and found that Xiao Yi was sitting motionless on a tree in the valley where the Blade Mantis clan lived.
It seems to be alert to its surroundings, preventing the Zerg army from being attacked by other enemies while cleaning up the battlefield and moving food.
Of course, sitting there motionless could also mean simply being in a daze.
"Xiao Yi, are you free now? There's something I'd like to talk to you about..."
"Mating..."
?
Zhao Zian was a little dumbfounded.
Xiao Yi always starts with zero frames, giving the player absolutely no chance to react...
"Oh...I'm free..."
Xiao Yi woke up with a start, cupped her face in her hands, and quickly responded to Zhao Zi'an.
Zhao Zian “…”
