Jila looked at Su Xiao in confusion, wondering why Su Xiao grabbed her head, but she was not worried that Su Xiao would hurt her, and even started to swing her body back and forth to play with it.
"How much do you know about the crystal stone just now?"
Su Xiao looked at Ji La with a smile on his face. He felt that the situation might change a lot.
"We call it the Life Stone, this is..."
Jila began to explain to Su Xiao the purpose and origin of [Condensed Crystal Stone (Low Purity)], which is the Life Stone.
Regarding the Life Stone, Jianla only knew part of it. It was a material that could only be produced by the insect hive at the third stage or above. Generally speaking, it was the transformation of the 'bioenergy' stored in the insect hive from liquid to solid. As for the rest,
Jila didn't know that her former Zerg queen had the habit of storing life stones.
Jila was actually born just over a month ago, and her knowledge of things was very limited, but just through her preliminary explanation, Su Xiao roughly guessed the function of the Life Stone.
First of all, the life stone is a solid form of biological energy, which is only produced from third-level insect nests or above. Only the insect mother body can absorb this thing.
In Su Xiao's view, the life stone is currency, the currency among the Zerg mother bodies.
Su Xiao had discovered something before that the genetic memory that each Zerg mother can awaken is limited and different. What should you do if you want to get the genetic memory of other mothers? Steal it? It is simply unrealistic for mothers of the same level to snatch each other.
Just like Spinela, only after her insect nest devours other living mothers can she obtain part of the opponent's genetic memory, which means she can obtain more insect units or buildings.
Once the mother body dies, there is no point in devouring the body.
If you want to obtain genetic memory, unless the mother voluntarily cultivates special Zerg through the 'egg tissue', this kind of Zerg has no fighting power and cannot even walk. They have only one function, being swallowed by other insect nests to provide genetic memory.
The mothers call this type of Zerg 'legacy individuals', and if they want to cultivate 'legacy individuals', the mother body needs to pay a considerable price, and no mother body is willing to provide 'legacy individuals' to other Zerg races for free.
As intelligent creatures, the mothers solved the problem of exchange or purchase of 'legacy individuals', and the life stone was the key to the transaction.
There are occasional transactions between the mother bodies, so they all have the habit of storing life stones. This thing is actually an insurance. Once the insect nest is accidentally destroyed, they can escape with the accumulated life stones and make a comeback in a short time.
It can be said that the emergence of life stones is inevitable. Currency has epoch-making significance for a race. Zerg races are not just competing with each other. The threat of totem tribes is always there.
"In other words, the higher the level of the mother body, the more life stones are stored?"
Su Xiao and Bu Bu Wang looked at each other, and Baha scratched his head with his wings. He felt that the three fourth-stage Zerg queens were going to be in trouble.
"I have no idea."
Spinela returned to his spacious new home and lay down on the soft insect nest tissue.
"Baha, go and determine the locations of the three stage four insect nests."
Su Xiao took out the remote receiver and put it on Bubo Wang's neck.
"Oh ho~, I... saw a very large insect nest, at least more than a hundred meters high."
Baha's bird-like face gradually became unscrupulous.
"Where?"
Su Xiao lights up a cigarette, and if everything goes well, he will explode the troops and explode the troops crazily.
"The best, the best!"
Baha signaled Su Xiao to wait for a while, and after a while, it continued:
"Didn't Apocalypse's miners be attacked by the Zerg in the grassland where we initially fought. It was the Zerg nest. I just glanced at it casually. The Zerg nest was about 150 meters high."
"No wonder more than a hundred people died in Apocalypse Paradise in a short period of time. Bubu, is there a problem?"
"Woof (absolutely no problem)."
"Okay, Baha, you are here to meet Bubo Wang near the insect nest. If there is any accident, you two will retreat immediately."
"clear."
Baha tilted his head and motioned for Bubuwang to get on its back.
A dog and a bird flew away quickly. Su Xiao sat on the back of a mantis and took out his tablet computer.
…
Gray Mist Swamp.
"Kill them all!"
A roar came out, and Yaklo, who was covered in green blood, stood in the swamp. Everything he saw was full of Zerg. And near Yakluo, there were dozens of contractors from Death Paradise, and they all had red eyes.
"Explosive flames!"
…
In the Sabertooth Forest, several sneaky figures were shuttled between the trees, their fair faces were covered with mud, and the girls from the Holy Light Paradise frowned.
"Are you sure, the core of the world is nearby?"
"Not sure, but as long as there is a one percent chance, we can't miss it."
"Speed up."
Several girls quickly went deep into the rain forest, and behind them, a blood-red python was silently moving forward.
…
The endless grassland is like a sea of green. Because there was a heavy rain yesterday, the grass is green and the air is fresh.
Baha swooped down from the sky, and Bubu Wang, wearing goggles, jumped up.
BooBoo Wang landed and raised his head to Baha. Baha nodded and flew back to high altitude to help BooBoo Wang detect the environment from a high place. It seemed that there was no communication, but in fact the adventure group channel was almost blocked by these two guys.
screen.
Baha: "South, 1250 meters, I might be discovered if I get closer."
BuBoWang: "Leave it to me."
Baha: "Be careful. If the fourth-stage mother body has any weird abilities, notify me immediately. I will rush directly into the insect nest to rescue you. Whether you live or die after that depends on your luck."
BuBoWang: "The perception of the Zerg is very average. Have you ever seen a demon with a real attribute of more than 200 points?"
Baja: "Abuse."
Penny: "Meow meow meow?"
BuBoWang: "Cat that scatters wealth."
Penny: "Erha."
…
Bu Bu Wang blended into the environment and ran quickly on the grassland. Near the base camp, Su Xiao held a tablet in her hand and was paying attention to the images fed back by Bu Bu Wang.
At this time, there is a black mark on the back of Su Xiao's hand. This is the spatial coordinate set by Bu Bu Wang. As long as Bu Bu Wang's traces are exposed, Su Xiao will be teleported there immediately. After that, Su Xiao will use all his abilities to try to kill the four-stage monsters.
mother body.
Of course, if you can successfully steal the Life Stone, you don't need to take such risks. The Queen Mother in the fourth stage is not that easy to kill.
On the grassland, Bubu Wang looked into the distance. There was a huge insect nest there. It was dark green in color and had dense carapace on the outside. The carapace reflected a metallic luster in the sunlight.
When approaching within 300 meters of the giant insect nest, Bubuwang slowed down. There were too many insectoids around. It was conservatively estimated that there were dozens of species. As for the number, it was impossible to count, but there were definitely hundreds of thousands.
There are more than a dozen Zerg buildings near the giant insect nest. These Zerg buildings are tens of meters high and have strange shapes. Five of them, just by looking at them, feels like their hind legs are bulging.
It is definitely a defensive building. It may not be able to withstand the attacks of those five buildings. Even if Su Xiao comes, it can only withstand a few times at most.
Bubuwang swallowed his saliva and approached the giant insect nest at a very slow speed.
It took more than ten minutes for Bubuwang to complete a distance of more than 300 meters. It stood at the entrance of the giant insect nest, which was seven meters wide and more than ten meters high.
As soon as Bubu Wang wanted to enter the giant insect nest, he found that the entrance of the giant insect nest was blocked by a large group of insect races that he had never seen before. These insect races were in a dormant state, and their bodies were covered with biological tentacles as thin as hair. These insect races were more than ten meters long.
The tentacles fluttered randomly, completely blocking the entrance.
Bubo Wang ignored the guarding Zerg, and its body became a little illusory, directly penetrating the outer wall of the insect nest.
Entering the interior of the giant insect nest, Bubu Wang discovered that the structure here was like a biological castle, with nearly a hundred large and small nests and cave entrances.
After searching in the giant insect nest for nearly an hour, Bubuwang finally found the fourth-stage Queen Mother, a Zerg that was very similar to a human female. She was lying in a deep sleep in a large pool.
The pool was filled with transparent liquid, and the Zerg Mother Queen was floating in the liquid. At the bottom of the pool, there were densely packed Life Stones, each one the size of a fist, emitting a fluorescent green shimmer.
BooBoo Wang stood on the edge of the pool, the soft biological tissue under his feet making him even more nervous.
After a few minutes of brewing, the tip of Bu Bu Wang's claws penetrated the transparent liquid. Its movements were very slow, and it didn't even make any water ripples.
"Who is it?"
The eyes of the Zerg Mother Queen opened. They were blue eyes with light red pupils.
Bu Bu Wang's body fell, and his entire body was submerged in the colorless liquid. It sank at a slow speed like a stone.
The Zerg Mother Queen changed from a lying position to an upright position. She looked around, confused.
At this time, Bubo Wang had reached the bottom of the pool, and its dog paw touched a life stone. The life stone immediately disappeared and was stored in the adventure group's storage space.
One piece after another, when BooBoo Wang put away the eleventh life stone, the Zerg Queen sank to the bottom of the pool, her tank sank, and BooBoo Wang had already stuck his head out of the pool, climbing up the pool at a very slow speed.
edge.
Bubuwang quietly approached the outer wall of the insect nest, penetrated directly, and left the inside of the insect nest in a few seconds.
All the Zerg around the insect nest became violent, and the doubtful mood of the Zerg Queen was irritating them.
BooBoo Wang returned along the same route, and as soon as he walked out of the sea of insects, he ran away, wishing he could install a pair of jet engines on his butt.
When BuBoWang rushed out two kilometers, Baha dived to a low altitude, BuBoWang jumped on Baha's back, and then the dog and the bird disappeared into afterimages.
In the giant insect nest, the insect mother queen emerged from the transparent liquid with some confusion. Just now, something seemed to have come.
…
Next to the insect nest in the base camp, Su Xiao took out a life stone from the storage space of the adventure group and handed it to Jila.
"Eat it."
Jila took the fist-sized life stone. Her little hands could barely grasp the life stone. After opening her mouth to try, her expression was obviously dull.
"I-I'll save it for next time."
Jila was very self-aware this time. The life stone was too big for her to swallow. .m.
