Chapter Seventy-Four: Stinging Snake Mutation (Finally Came Back Alive~)

When Xue Hua came to the evolution pit, Abbather was already waiting for him there, there were two objects beside him, one was an egg mutated from a larvae, the egg was pulsating slightly, obviously giving birth to something, and below the egg was a pool formed entirely of green biomass, and the green liquid in the pool continued to flow into the inside of the egg along the vascular-like channel on the egg, and the egg was also pulsating at an accelerated pace with the inflow of biomass.

The other object was a green colloidal vesicle floating in mid-air, with tiny creatures in the center rotating around a fiery red orb, which looked very strange.

"The evolution of the swarm requires new genes, captures new core sequences, eliminates dross, distorts the essence, and obtains the essence."

Seeing Xue Hua's arrival, Abbather directly began to introduce his work status.

"Isolate the essence sequences, obtain two genetic structures, refine one of them, and create a new swarm variant."

It points several pairs of arthropods at the egg, which is pulsating, meaning that this is the new unit of the swarm that is about to appear.

"The other part of the essence is missing the key sequence and cannot be perfected, but it can be added to the genetic sequence of the existing swarm class to strengthen it."

It touched the green vesicle with another pair of arthropods, and the vesicle burst open, and the fiery red orb floated in front of Abbathhar, who held the fireball up with two pairs of arthropods and continued to explain: "A powerful flame essence that decomposes how it works, and uses the microbial colony simulation effect to enhance the destructive power of existing swarm units. ”

"Applicable class - stinging snake, stinging snake by shooting a stinger to fight, the stinging needle penetration is strong, and itself is strong, after a long period of evolution, there is no possibility of improvement, but can be added to the second set of stinger regeneration reserve system, the second set of stinger reserve system can be implanted into the microbial population, so that the scant needle hollow, reduce penetration, the degree of solidity, but can make the scant hit the target when the microbial population implanted in it, the population is extremely unstable, explosive, after the explosion to spread fragments, resulting in area killing effect."

Xue Hua listened carefully, although there were many things he couldn't understand, he finally understood the effect of this new evolution.

To put it simply, equip the Stinger with a second ammo, which is not as penetrating as a regular spike and is very fragile, but the spike will explode upon hitting the target, just like Amazon's explosive arrows, causing a small area of AOE damage.

This evolution made Xue Hua very happy, because it meant that the insect swarm would have a range of strike power from now on, although the range of a spiny needle was not large, but if more than a dozen stinging snakes combined to spray this kind of high-explosive needle together, it would be a big killer for light armor or even armorless units like the Sinking Demon that relied on numbers to win.

"The evolution of the spiny snake needle regeneration system requires an additional microbial culture chamber in the stinging snake's body, so that the stinging snake itself can produce explosive microbial communities, the physiological balance system of the stinging snake has reached its limit, and it is impossible to produce microbial communities on a large scale, providing two options, first, to evolve the stinging snake's brain balance system, so that it can reserve a part of the explosive stinger needles for backup before joining the battle, and after the battle is consumed, it can slowly replenish the needle ammunition by itself, and this scheme maintains the cost of the stinging snake unchanged, However, it will make the Stinging Snake lose the ability to continuously shoot explosive spikes. ”

"The second plan is to comprehensively evolve the physiological balance system in the body of the stinging snake, so that its brain can expand and be able to load the burden brought by more weapon systems, and the plan can make the stinging snake evolve a complete explosive ammunition production mechanism, so that the stinging snake can freely switch between two types of ammunition in battle, and there is no limit to the number of explosive spiny needles, but this plan will completely optimize the stinging snake weapon system and brain capacity, so that the cost of the stinging snake will increase, and the cost of each stinging snake will increase by 25 crystals and 25 gas."

Hearing the multiple-choice question thrown to him by Abbather, Xue Hua was suddenly entangled.

In fact, the problem is very simple, if you don't want to increase the cost of the stinging snake, then this high-explosive ammunition will become a limited number of limited supply bombs, you can't spray randomly in battle, once it is used up, you can only rely on the stinging snake itself to slowly replenish, simply put, there is a CD, and if you are willing to increase the cost of the stinging snake, this evolution will make the stinging snake become a full-time gunner who can play both armor-piercing and high-explosive shells, the two types of ammunition are used without restrictions, and they can be switched at will.

The former is the killer series, and the latter is the conventional weaponization series.

If there is no negative effect of increasing the cost, then there is no need to choose it at all.

Don't think that the cost of 25 crystals and 25 gas is nothing, you must know that the cost of a stinging snake is only 100 crystals and 50 gas, if you choose the second option, it is equivalent to increasing the cost of a quarter of a crystal and half of the gas.

The stinging snake is the main land long-range strike force of the insect swarm in the future, and it is also an important part of the ground army of the insect swarm, this number will definitely not be small, and increasing the cost by so much is equivalent to increasing the difficulty of Xue Hua's violent army in disguise.

Especially for Xue Hua at this stage, to make this choice, there is no doubt that the economic pressure will be very great.

But after thinking about it for a while, Xue Hua still decided to choose the second option.

There is no other reason, this kind of evolutionary option that can greatly enhance the quality of the swarm class He said that he didn't want to let go of anything, and he also asked Abbather if he could choose the first option first, and then change to the second option when he had resources later, but Abbather told him very clearly that the answer was no.

Because once a benign evolution is combined with the swarm class, then the gene of the swarm will contain the gene fragment of this evolution, and if you want to forcibly unbind this gene in the later stage, it is very likely that the connected Zerg unit will produce a wide range of genetic collapse, resulting in the complete loss of the class by the swarm.

The price of completely losing the stinging snake was too serious, Xue Hua didn't even dare to think about it, he didn't even dare to go through it in his head.

So he can only honestly do a multiple-choice question.

Then I thought about it, and suddenly thought of the time when I was mining in the evil cave, and since there are minerals in this world that can be used by the swarm, why worry about the resources?

Once a large-scale deposit is found and the real base is laid, won't the problem of resources be solved?

Thinking of this, Xue Hua nodded firmly to Abbather, and said his choice in the spiritual network.

Abbather accepted Xue Hua's choice, and directly threw the red fireball in his hand into a pit beside him, and a terrible hissing sound suddenly came from the pit, Xue Hua heard it familiar, and then remembered that it seemed to be the sound of a stinging snake.

"The evolutionary gene sequence has been written, the main nest mind is transporting biomass, and the stinging snake in the existing army will complete the evolutionary mutation in three minutes, and after the mutation is completed, the stinging snake will become a new variant, and the juggernaut can name the new variant."

"It's better to call it a stinging snake, after all, the attack method hasn't changed, but you can add the numbered name of the 'blaster variant' to the end to distinguish it from the previous stinging snake community." Xue Hua nodded, but did not change the name of the stinging snake, but added a numbered name to the stinging snake according to the naming method of the class variant obtained from the evolution mission in the Worm Heart battle in the game.

This also makes it easier for Abbather to sort out the evolutionary history of the swarm units
