The Rise of the Cemetery

(Thanks to o((⊙﹏⊙))o for the big red envelope reward!)

Countless questions lingered in the mind of this Zerg demigod, but these were trivial matters, far less important than repairing its own body. Moreover, a handy tool of war like the war brood is lost, and it is not as simple as outsiders imagined to replenish it.

First of all, a body full of life energy is indispensable.

In this elf continent, it seems that only the bodies of the legendary dragons and the tree of life can meet this condition. It's a pity that the legendary dragon blew himself up crazily when he was about to die last time, wasting a usable body in vain, and it also suffered serious injuries.

Secondly, a large amount of soul energy is the key to resurrecting the war brood.

After experiencing so many wars, the soul energy collected by his subordinates is only barely half, and there is still a big gap from the resurrection war brood.

It seems that the scale of the war needs to continue to expand.

How about sending part of the bug army to the Klein Continent, which has a larger area and richer resources?

The Zerg demigod couldn't help thinking quietly.

One of the main reasons why it has such an idea is that the burrower accidentally opened a passage to the dark region when digging the nest underground. As we all know, the dark regions are widely distributed under the continents of the entire Klein plane, and convenient passages to the other two continents can definitely be found there.

The vast ocean is indeed difficult to cross, but the underground world extending in all directions can form a good and smooth troop transport network, allowing the Ahn'Qiraj Zerg to quickly extend their tentacles to every corner of the Klein plane.

Moreover, since the Underdark region was opened up, it has smelled a smell of ancient Zerg in the remote depths. To be honest, it makes it both exciting and wary.

Ancient Zerg? !

That probably can be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago, when the master of the Ahn'Qiraj Zerg was just defeated and sealed by the terrifying titan. According to the Zerg inheritance engraved in the source of the soul, during that time, many branches of the Zerg were scattered to all corners of the multiverse.

They wandered in different planes and changed their living forms. After tens of thousands of years of long changes, they have slowly merged with the consciousness of the planes and became the original natives of the planes.

Could it be that there are such descendants of the ancient Zerg here?

Kulinnax scraped his mask which was being covered with his right hand giant pliers which had grown to half, feeling awkward and uncomfortable all over his body. This humanoid form severely restricted its combat ability, but its complete insect body was strongly interfered by the will of the plane. Therefore, it has no choice but to transform its body bit by bit, making itself into an ugly appearance that is not like a human, nor like a bug.

It now has a humanoid form, with a black and deep close-fitting carapace, a sharp cone in its left hand, a giant pincer in its right hand, and a wide and bloated short flat tail behind it. Although the aesthetics of the Zerg is quite different from that of humans, the current appearance is really ugly compared to before!

It is precisely in order to adjust the parasitic body that is most important to him, that the Zerg demigod general Kulinax stayed in the nest for such a long time, and delegated most of the war power to the only remaining cerebrate subordinates .

If those undead didn't have the brains to dare to approach the nest, it didn't mind harvesting their souls by themselves. However, if the opponent is only fighting guerrillas on the periphery, Kulinax really does not have the ability to take the initiative to attack in a short period of time. After all, its insect body transformation is still in progress, and it cannot be abandoned halfway.

So after deep thinking, a series of mandatory orders were issued to many brain worms. At the same time, a terrifying army of 20 million Zerg rushed out of the nest, and rushed to the area where the undead were active day and night. In addition, in the underground that no one can know, a Zerg army with a number of 10 million sneaked into the depths of the ground and began to explore the way to other places in the dark region.

After doing this, Kulinax hesitated again, and finally tentatively sent a mysterious message that only high-level Zerg could understand to the depths of the remote Underdark.

If there are really descendants of the ancient Zerg race there, there should be some reactions, right?

…………

This is a huge cave hidden deep in the ground.

The space is vast, and the air is damp and sticky, with a hint of suffocating weirdness.

A wide and huge pool almost occupies most of the space in the cave, and the inside is shimmering and rippling with light blue mysterious pool water. If you stare fixedly, you can vaguely see swimming fish or tadpoles swimming in it.

In the center of the pool, a huge mountain of meat is half exposed. It is gray and white, crawling, and there are ravines and bulges everywhere. Judging from the appearance of this huge mysterious substance, it looks like a human brain magnified tens of thousands of times!

There are countless strange lines carved on the wall of the pool that outsiders cannot understand. These lines flash with fluorescent lights, but they echo each other, and they are combined into complicated and mysterious magic runes, and then combined into a huge and self-contained mysterious magic circle. .

The rays of light circulated slowly inside the magic circle, reflecting the entire cave in a strange and unpredictable way.

Apparently, the entire pool wall and even the entire cave wall have been transformed into magical buildings, providing the most suitable temperature and the most comfortable environment for the huge human brain in the pool water.

Of course, if someone is able to dig open the cave wall, he will also be horrified to find that the cave has been completely wrapped in weird psionic circles, allowing it to avoid or mislead any targeted prophecy detection measurement and magic perspective.

In addition, several powerful and evil mind flayer cities are scattered in the surrounding area, blocking all the roads leading to this "brain pool" just right. Any visitor entering this area will be attacked and sniped frantically by nearly a thousand mind flayers.

Because this is where the control core of the mind flayer society - the main brain, is located.

The Mastermind is the final stage of the mind flayer's life course, an evil being with godlike intelligence. As the heart of all mind flayer cities, the Mastermind is responsible for guiding the race to try to realize the dark dream of mind flayer supremacy.

The Mastermind is the physical and spiritual core of the mind flayer pack in which it resides, it is the specialist in psychic powers and the living storehouse of the pack's technology and history, and advisor (or more commonly, the leader and spiritual leader of the pack) .

In its brain pool, a mastermind preys on thousands of illithid tadpoles, only those that are determined to be strong enough to be used to create a true illithid survive. Therefore, the mind flayer's initial form, the illithid, was never born naturally, but was all born from the brain pool.

The Mastermind parasitizes illithid tadpoles inside the brains of certain humanoid creatures. When the illithid regains consciousness and eats for the first time, it replaces the humanoid and becomes the new illithid. Illithids who travel abroad will desperately collect all kinds of knowledge, and their desire for new knowledge even exceeds the demand for resources.

Although they have crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, they still maintain a secret and loose connection with the master brain hidden deep underground. The mastermind is the knowledge base shared by all illithids and mind flayers, and it is also their common home.

Every mind flayer has the right and duty to merge with a mastermind at the end of its natural life. Though most mind flayers would prefer otherwise. Their sacrifices are complete—their egos merge with each other, their gray matter used only for master brain renewal.

In other words, after any mind flayer dies, all the knowledge stored in its own brain will flow back to the main brain, thereby enriching and updating the knowledge reserves of the entire mind flayer society.

Such a social structure ensures the stability of the inheritance of the mind flayer group, and continues to push up the individual strength of the mind flayer. So every once in a while, when the Mastermind thinks it has enough knowledge and resources, the war between the mind flayers rushing out of the ground and sweeping the surface world will break out.

The mind flayers have never given up on their ambition to rule the entire multiverse.

In normal times, as the core area of ​​the mind flayer, the Brain Pool is dead silent, and it is impossible for any life to approach this area.

But today, the mastermind, who had always been leisurely and peaceful, suddenly showed some extreme emotions, which disturbed the entire brain pool.

The huge sulcus tissue of the main brain and the thick blood vessel walls all over it are constantly expanding and contracting. Hot water vapor is continuously ejected from the inside of the brain, forming a thick mist at the top of the ventricle.

The water in the brain pool began to boil and boil.

This is obviously the main brain doing crazy calculations and planning. In order to avoid the rapid energy flow from burning the brain tissue, it has to frequently use the pool water to cool down its body.

The mysterious command sent into its consciousness center across thousands of spaces obviously touched its sensitive nerves, making it have to stop all the work at hand, and carefully and carefully calculate the probability of success.

For tens of thousands of years, the first batch of mind flayers who came across the distant space had already chosen to merge with the plane consciousness of their own plane and became the native creatures of Klein's plane. Only in this way can plane consciousness tolerate their existence.

Relying on a long period of evolution, the mastermind thinks that it has been able to shield or weaken the shackles of the soul that once enslaved them. Therefore, when this mysterious instruction came across the sky, it chose to fight against it.

The result is both lucky and sad!

Sadly, the main brain is still unable to resist the trace of dominating will contained in the mysterious instructions. The good news is that this order is no longer so unstoppable and irreversible, but has all kinds of possibilities that can be flexed and twisted.

The core will of this order is to order the Zerg subordinates in the plane of Klein to meet with the Zerg leader.

If it were in the past, the moment the mastermind received the order, I'm afraid he couldn't help but arrange all the travel matters. But now, it clearly feels that the rules and constraints in the soul source are not so strict. It doesn't even need to go out, it just needs to send an envoy on its own behalf.

After all, any mind flayer can actually be regarded as a master brain clone with independent consciousness.

The mastermind can completely escape the punishment of the rules by using the method of distorting the rules!

why is that?

Is this change caused by the change of the mind flayer group over time, or is the one who sent the order different from before?

With endless questions, the mastermind called several mind flayer elders.

These are all legendary mind flayer elders, and they are also the highest leaders of several nearby mind flayer cities.

Of course, the democratic parliament is popular in the mind flayer city, so these few external titles are the speaker.
