Chapter Eighty-Six: The Void Digger

In the evolution chamber of the Leviathan, Xue Hua looked at a huge monster that had emerged from those holes in the ground in front of him, and his face was full of amazement.

This is the "Void Buger", an evolved breed of the Tunnel Worm.

It still looks like a pit worm on the outside, with a large, thick muscular cortex on its head with thick fixed spikes, and the cortex is inlaid with dense blade-like crushing serrations, the main purpose of these teeth is to dig tunnels, if something accidentally falls into it while it is working......

Imagine a person falling into a metal grinder, you'll be impressed......

But aside from the head, in other parts, the Void Borger and the Tunnel Worm are completely different.

First of all, beneath the epithelial layer of the Void Diger's mouthparts, there is an enhanced psionic nerve sense, which allows the Void Digger to further access the main nest mind so that it understands the specific location of the swarm commander or juggernaut that allowed it to break through the ground - this is also a big reason why the Void Digger can drill directly from the ordinary surface without the chemical positioning of the fungus blanket, and its accuracy has reached the meter level, and it basically does not deviate too far from the designated target location.

Second, around the fixed spikes on the Void Bucker's head, there is a whole circle of wrinkled buccal sacs, which can carry a large number of fungus blanket spores, and the Void Bugger can also shoot the fungus blanket spores out of the buccal sac by contracting the buccal sac.

In this way, it will be able to quickly expand a huge territory for the Tunnel Bugs that will come later, and at the same time, the Zerg Vanguard Legion transported through it will be able to fight and work directly on the fungus carpet.

The third difference is behind the Void Diger's head, where a complex neuromatous node has evolved that the Tunnel Bugs don't have.

This neuromatous node is very large, flattened overall, and wraps around the Void Quger's "neck" like a "scarf".

A large amount of bright yellow subcutaneous nerve tissue is derived from the neuromatous ganglia, and these nerve cords begin in the tumor and spread throughout its body and extend to all of its body surfaces.

The function of this neuromatous node and nerve cord is to allow the Void Borger to break through the limitations of space, and use a large amount of bioenergy gathered in a short period of time to forcibly break through the physical barriers of space, so as to achieve the effect of drilling into a short-distance wormhole.

Its body is strong enough to support the intense spatial tearing force in the short-range spatial wormhole, allowing it to maintain the continuous existence of the passage.

However, due to the presence of a large number of hormones in this neuroma node that are enough to cause chemical information localization disorders for ordinary tunnel worms, the number of void diggers in each tunnel worm network should not be too large, so as to avoid oolong accidents where ordinary tunnel worms cannot work.

Moreover, the incubation cost of a Void Borger is a full fifty times that of a normal Tunnel Worm!

In other words, it takes a resource reserve equivalent to 5,000 crystals and 10,000 gas to hatch one!

It is obviously unrealistic to replace the Tunnel Worms on a large scale at this price, and they can only be used as an extension of the normal Tunnel Worm and the elite creatures that put the Swarm Vanguard Assault Force.

After getting a general understanding of the characteristics of the Void Borgers, Abbasser's Evolution Battle is here.

In this evolution battle, Xue Hua's side was still a swarm, and his opponent was still a group of demons whose combat power was comparable to that of the swarm units.

However, this time the demons did not occupy any fortresses, and they set up their strongholds on dozens of islands drifting in the lava sea.

Xue Hua's goal was to get past the limitations of the magma and uproot those demonic strongholds one by one.

Due to some limitations, the swarm was unable to receive air support during this battle, and only a few Monitor King Bugs and Node King Bugs were out of the atmosphere to help them open maps and monitor the movements of the demon stronghold.

So everything can only rely on the army units of the swarm.

Xue Hua first found the projector inside the swarm, and this kind of unit was also good at transporting the Zerg troops through impassable terrain obstacles.

Although he knew that the main purpose of this evolution mission was to test the Void Borgers, he didn't know why, just like playing games in his previous life, Xue Hua always wanted to find out what fun bugs there were in Abasser's campaign setting that could be exploited......

However, it is a pity that the IQ of Abasser, the master of swarm evolution, is obviously higher than that of Xue Hua, so it is natural that he failed to find the projector.

Xue Hua, who had no BUG gameplay, had no choice but to honestly follow the rules set by Abbather, and he searched around the island where the swarm troops were located, and sure enough, he found the tunnel insect control hub placed on the other side of the island - that is, the biological building called the "insect channel network" in the game.

After finding this thing, things were very simple, Xue Hua easily used the mind of the main nest to occupy this "wild control hub" (Khan!). Is there anything wild like a pit worm? ), and sure enough, two Void Borgers were found inside.

Using these two Void Diggers, Xue Hua sent the Worm Mothers to easily uproot the demon strongholds scattered on the molten islands scattered throughout the map one by one.

When the jumping insects threw the last "Demon Master" to the ground, Xue Hua's perspective returned to the evolution chamber.

Abbather was waiting for him in front of him.

"Void Digger, excellent performers, can be stereotyped, send genetic changes to each hive ......"

There was a flicker of light in the swollen vesicles on the Swarm Evolution Master, and all the Zerg nests immediately received evolutionary information about the Void Diggers.

After it finished this, Xue Hua said to it: "Next, tell me about your fifth report, that new type of biological warship, is it generally finalized?" ”

"The new hull design, inspired by the Sarnagar flagship, is capable of capturing smaller individual ships, destroying, occupying, kidnapping, and has a variety of uses.

The core essence was hard-won, and most of the first planetary specimens used as experimental samples had already died, and the design schedule would have been accelerated if more samples could be obtained. ”

"Take a new sample? Isn't that going to send someone to die near that hellish planet?

Who knows if Sarnagar is watching there, is it worth the risk? ”

Xue Hua frowned and questioned.

"The new biomorphic battleship has cut many unnecessary evolutionary configurations of the non-flagship class, and its price is relatively low compared to the flagship-class warship, and it can be hatched and produced with the current resource reserves of the swarm, without waiting for Zuzad's planetary activation plan.

In addition, this type of biological mothership can be configured into the First Fleet as a quasi-flagship of the current swarm fleet, and it has a large crew space inside, which can carry a certain number of swarm troops, and can even be configured with a separate small hive.

The commander of the Swarm Fleet, Stokoff, can use it as a replacement flagship for the fleet, and even if the Leviathan hatches successfully in the future, the biological mothership will not be withdrawn from the strategic preparation of the Swarm. ”

Abbather's explanation is well-founded and convincing.

Anyway, Xue Hua has already been moved by what it says.

The most embarrassing thing about the swarm fleet now is that there is already a fleet of considerable size, but Stokoff, as the commander, still stays in the belly of the king worm to command the battle......

If this spreads, Xue Hua, the master, will have no face......
