Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 50 Incubation (add more to the first deacon in this book!)

The cunning beetle finally exhausted all its means and failed to escape the assassin's butcher's knife.

Although the carapace on its back is smooth as if oiled, it can't stand the zero nonsense of martial arts, and the guard directly clamps its entire body with the upper jaw. Under the strong bite force, even the hard carapace can't bear it at all. Due to the huge force in the vertical direction, the beetle died a miserable death in the end.

After the first beetle hatched, the second and third soon followed. Within the same day, almost all the beetle eggs were hatched.

Naturally, they all eventually became the dead souls of the guardians.

Zero lightly asked the worker ants to move the beetle corpses caught by the guards to the queen to feed them, and once again watched them gradually become manic.

It wasn't until the batch of mutated beetle corpses were almost devoured that the queens began to cocoon one after another.

And this is already the third mutation experienced by Zero after occupying the entire island.

It was also on the same day that the queen ants cocooned and mutated, and another type of eggs in the cave also began to hatch.

And this time the hatching brought a lot of trouble to the ants.

Because this time, the eggs hatched turned out to be locust eggs.

The locusts, which already had the ability to fly, became stronger after being mutated. They even escaped the assassin's encirclement by flapping their wings. Ant queen as an experimental sample!

But among the eggs brought back by the ants in autumn, they are the ones with the largest number!

All of a sudden, the entire cave was messed up by them, and some locusts even crawled on top of the gems.

How can Zero bear this?Although it is unlikely, if they destroy the gem that can cause the queen to mutate, then Zero will really want to cry.

At present, Zero Fire Speed ​​mobilized thousands of assassins and more guards from the outside world to enter the cave, and completed a major cleanup from the ground to the top of the cave. The mutated locusts on the top of the cave were quickly driven down by the assassins. The few that wanted to challenge the assassin were basically pierced through the head with their mouthparts.

The locusts don't have the hard and slippery shell of the beetle, and they can't hold the assassin's sharp mouthparts at all!

The locusts who had no way to stay on the top of the cave could only continue to scurry in the cave, but the ground had been taken over by the guards. Once someone landed, they could not escape the attack of their big pincers.

Soon, the locusts who had nowhere to escape were exhausted, and all turned into corpses.

Zero breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately this is a narrow cave, and the mutated locusts cannot escape.If it is in the vast outside world, based on the flying speed of the mutated locusts, I am afraid that the flying ants can only look at the dust and sigh, and there is nothing they can do about them.

However, now that the dust has settled, I also have some expectations under my heart.

Wouldn't it be a great thing if one could obtain the flying speed of the mutated locust?
Because the queens used for the experiment had cocooned and fell asleep, he immediately wanted to feed the locust carcasses to the backup logistics queen and combat queen, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait for them to complete their evolution Besides.

Although there is no evidence, it can be seen from previous aphid experiments that the effect of letting queens with fewer mutations eat mutant insect meat is far less effective than those with more mutations.

Moreover, with the increase in the number of mutations, Zero clearly felt that compared to the low-level mutant queens, if the high-level mutant queens want to evolve again, they need more mutant corpses.

Anyway, once Zero has a mutant queen, it is equivalent to having countless ones.Even if all the mutated locust carcasses are used to mutate a high-level ant queen, it is still worthwhile.

But if the low-level mutated ant queen is now allowed to eat the mutated insect corpses, in case the evolution of the advanced ant queen fails again, the loss outweighs the gain.

In the following period of time, the remaining three types of eggs in the cave also completed hatching one after another.

Without exception, the hatched mutated bugs are much more violent than their normal state.However, no matter how ferociously they mutate, they are still no match for the overwhelmingly dominant ant colony.

Only then did Zero finally know which insects produced these eggs.

The largest eggs are also the least numerous, those of the praying mantis.After the mutated praying mantis hatched, it was only in the larva stage, and it was able to fight the guardian on par!
You know, in terms of size alone, the size of the guardian is almost twice that of the mutated praying mantis larva!
The remaining two eggs of similar size, one of which is that of a grasshopper, has an amazing ability to bounce after hatching.

However, in this huge cave, no matter how strong the jumping ability was, it was of no use. In the end, they were all stabbed to death on the wall by the assassins.

The last one, and the one that Zero thought was the most useless, turned out to be cicada eggs!

After the mutated cicada hatched, it didn't move at all, just lying on the spot, and the non-stop chirping made Ling hear a splitting headache. Almost to vent his anger, he ordered the two types of fighting ants to rush up and chop them up. piece!
After all the eggs hatched, Zero transported their corpses into the underground ant nest and kept them properly for the queen ants who had completed evolution to eat.

However, zero is a full month!

Zero realized that with the increase in the number of evolutions, it will take longer and longer for the queens to break out of their cocoons!

When the queen was able to evolve for the first time in the cave because of eating a large number of termite queen corpses, it only took three days from cocooning to breaking out of the cocoon.

This time was extended to a week when the mutant earthworm meat was eaten for the second time to evolve.

And the third time, that is, when eating the cocoons of the mutated aphids, it took half a month.

And the fourth time, this time, it took a month to complete the process!

Although it took a lot of time, but fortunately the result is good.

The ant queens who broke out of the cocoon again became bigger again, and even the whole body became larger visible to the naked eye, and they seemed to be gradually moving closer to the original termite queen.

After eating the beetle carcasses, their appearance also changed significantly.In addition to the fatter abdomen, the chest and head have been formed with protective hard armor, which forcibly adds a bit of majesty to their fat body.

However, Zero thinks this is useless. The queens are deep behind the ant colony. If the ant colony has arrived and needs to use its outer armor to resist damage, it must be that the external ant colony has basically been completely damaged. In this case, even if its defense power is increased by ten times, it is meaningless.

　Thank you [My heart is still there every time I see a foreign land] for the 5000 rewards, becoming the first deacon of this book!Add another chapter! (Actually, I want to add another chapter, otherwise I'm sorry for the boss's meeting, but the manuscript is not very good, so I owe you a little and cover your face)
