Reincarnation Paradise

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, the roars of various beasts come and go in the forest. Compared with the birdsong during the day, the symphony in the forest at night changes to the sound of frogs.

The insect nest emits a green shimmer. The light is not strong, but it is enough to illuminate the nearby area.

Two mantises ran out from between the trees, the hooked blades of their tails sinking into the flesh of the prey, dragging the prey forward quickly in the forest.

Bubo Wang, Baha, and Amu were responsible for finding the beast and beating the beast half to death, and then handed over the transportation work to the mantis. Although there was a risk of losing the mantis in doing so, it was more efficient and worth the risk.

Two mantises dragged two beasts weighing at least four tons. This was already the tenth batch.

The mantis used the claw knife in front of it to decompose the beast's corpse, took out pieces of fresh meat, and transported them to the vicinity of the insect nest. A huge gap opened in the five-meter-high insect nest. The mantis threw the fresh meat into it, and the crack closed.

The insect nest can be converted into biological energy after devouring flesh and blood, but the problem now is that the conversion speed of the insect nest is not fast. After all, the height of the insect nest is only five meters now.

The larger the size of the insect nest, the faster it devours flesh and blood, and increasing the size of the insect nest requires the consumption of biological energy.

Su Xiao glanced at the dozens of beast corpses piled nearby. This was the result of three hours of hard work by Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha. However, the devouring speed of the insect nest was too slow.

Su Xiao checks the information about the insect nest.

[Insect Nest (to which Spinela belongs). 】

[Stage: Level 1 (five levels in total, this level is determined according to the power system of this world). 】

[Biological energy reserve: 215/2000 points. 】

…

It took three hours of continuous devouring to obtain 215 points of bioenergy. This efficiency made Su Xiao frown.

"Jira."

"Um."

Jila's voice came from the insect nest. She was lying lazily on the biological tissue. The feeling of fullness made her a little drowsy.

Su Xiao issued an order for Spinela to expand the size of the insect nest. Under the influence of the devil's power, Spinela's loyalty had exceeded the 50-point mark, so he immediately began to expand the size of the insect nest.

Emerald green light surged inside the insect nest, the meridians on the surface surged, and the entire insect nest beat and expanded like a heart.

In just about half an hour, the insect nest rose from five meters high to eight meters, and all the stored biological energy was consumed. However, at this time, the meridians on the insect nest were much denser, and the overall body was much stronger.

The four mantises located near the insect nest immediately grabbed the fresh meat with their tail hooks and moved forward, throwing the fresh meat into the cracked gap on the insect nest.

After the height of the insect nest was increased from five meters to eight meters, the efficiency of converting bioenergy increased at least three times. After discovering this, Su Xiao issued another order to Jila. From now on, all the bioenergy obtained will be used to improve the insect nest. volume of.

The four mantises were busy, and the number of beast corpses in the nearby open space decreased rapidly. As for the discarded bones, fur, etc., they were all buried by the mantises in the distance. The Zerg looked scary, but in fact they were very clean creatures. This was not mysophobia. , but to avoid bacterial growth and infection and reduce evolutionary risks.

When there are two beast corpses left in the clearing, the insect nest no longer absorbs biological energy, but stores the obtained biological energy.

At this time, the insect nest is ten meters high, with a dark green surface and shiny hard shells in some places. Perhaps after being promoted to a high level, the insect nest can evolve biological armor to protect itself.

Ten meters high is the limit of the first stage of the insect nest. The speed at which it devours flesh and blood is increased by at least ten times. The beasts hunted by Bubo Wang and Baha's team can no longer sustain the insect nest. The appetite of this thing is getting bigger and bigger. As the size increases, the amount of flesh and blood swallowed in a single time also increases significantly, and the conversion speed increases by more than ten times.

After some observation, Su Xiao figured out the pattern. If the insect nest devours ordinary beasts, it can gain 10 points of biological energy per ton of flesh and blood. If the beasts in this world were not larger, Su Xiao would not be able to find so much flesh and blood. The insect nest devours, but the stronger the beast it devours, the more bioenergy it obtains, not all calculated in terms of tonnage.

It was not until late at night that Bubu Wang and Baha returned. The wild animals in the nearby area had been cleared by them. If they wanted to hunt wild animals again, they would have to go to a farther area.

Su Xiao checked the insect nest information. The number of creatures stored in the insect nest can reach: 670/2000 points.

After successfully getting through the initial stage, you must start to consider the problem of explosive troops. Mantises are coolies. They are needed to transport prey, process prey, and maintain insect nests.

As for fighting the Zerg stinger, Su Xiao is not sure about the ability of this thing for the time being, but one thing is certain, that is, the stinger definitely has the ability to hunt. This is probably the hunter in the early stages of the insect nest.

Su Xiao ordered Jila to cultivate 4 mantises (consuming 48 points of bioenergy) and 15 stingers (consuming 600 points of bioenergy).

As soon as Su Xiao gave the order, the 'egg formation tissue' in the insect nest started working. In just a few minutes, the egg formation tissue successfully cultivated 19 eggs, 4 of which were translucent and 15 were light green.

The mantis in the nest puts 19 eggs into the 'nurturing capsule', and hatching and birthing begin.

The Zerg has a very strong ability to explode troops, but it has a fatal weakness, that is, the lower Zerg has a shorter lifespan. The mantis has a lifespan of only 1 month, while the stinger has a better lifespan of 3 months.

In Su Xiao's view, this is completely enough. The war mission only lasts for one month. In any case, the winner can be determined within one month.

Time is precious, so Su Xiao must let the insect nest develop at the fastest speed. If you want to develop quickly, it is not wise to blindly preserve biological energy. More lower-level insects can hunt more wild animals, and the biological energy can be obtained. The speed will also increase exponentially.

The first-level insect nest did not disappoint Su Xiao. In just five minutes, 19 insects crawled out of the 'nurturing capsule'. Four of them, after shaking off the transparent body fluids on their bodies, ran outside the insect nest to get busy. , begins to complete the mission right after birth, which is also the frightening thing about the Zerg.

The remaining 15 stingers are all waiting in place. The stingers are larger than the mantis. They have four legs and a huge abdomen, just like a spider with a full body carapace. They have no sharp claws and teeth, and their mouths are round. It is cylindrical in shape and has sharp thorns on its back like a porcupine.

Name: Stinger

Health: 100%

Bioenergy: 5/5

Strength: 47

Agility: 56

Physical strength: 41

Intelligence: 10

Charm: Lower Zerg have no Charm attribute.

Skill 1, biological poison (passive, LV.15): The attack carries 30 points of poison attribute damage, 15% of which causes paralysis of the biological body. This poison effect can be superimposed for 5 layers, and the paralysis effect will be triggered after 5 layers (except the target is immune to this effect) ).

Skill 2, Stinger Spray (Active, Lv.18): The stinger can transfer the bone spurs on the back to the cylindrical cavity and accumulate high pressure in the abdominal sac cavity, thereby ejecting the bone spurs from the mouth. It can attack 0.5 ~Enemies 150 meters away, with penetration effect.

…

Similar to Su Xiao's conjecture, Stinger is indeed a hunter. Its melee capabilities are average, but it is good at hiding and searching.

Su Xiao divided the 15 stingers into five teams, with three stingers in each team, and equipped each team with a mantis for transporting prey.

Whether they are stingers or mantises, they are not perpetual motion machines. They also need to eat, but because they did not develop very strong digestive organs when they were cultivated, if they directly eat flesh and blood, the energy conversion rate is very low.

However, when they are near the insect nest, Spinela can inject bioenergy into them through the insect nest. One point of bioenergy is enough for them to move for a long time. Su Xiao feels that this method of replenishment is similar to charging.

The Zerg team set off. After a short rest, Bubowang, Baha, and Amu also went out to look for prey.

There is a small Zerg army at the initial scale, and what needs to be done next is to accumulate bioenergy and allow Jila to advance to the next level.
