Chapter 105: Energy Sucker
The new high-level commander is to be trained?
And new classes?
The assimilation of the Mother of Sandworms is almost underway?
There is also a new breakthrough in the study of tentacle samples on Planet One?
If you want to be a chef, you're definitely the kind of guy who likes to fry everything and serve it together.
Xue Hua rolled his eyes and shook his head, glancing at Calles on the side with a helpless expression.
"I see, then you'll be looking for me when you're free." Kyles shrugged his shoulders and took the initiative to disconnect the psionic communication with Xue Hua.
"Okay, let's start with the new class, the swarm that has just undergone the nest upgrade should already be quite good, and you shouldn't make any units with duplicate functions at this time."
Seeing the figure of Kelles disappear, Xue Hua shook his head and directly transferred his spirit to Leviathan's evolutionary cavity, where Abasser's body was already waiting for him, and at the same time, there was a slow-beating worm egg beside it.
"New classes, Energizers, psionic units, to fill in the last link missing from the Swarm psionic units."
Abbather walked to the eggs, raised his right appendage, and pierced directly into the eggs, and large strands of green biomass were injected into the eggs, and with the replenishment of these biomass, the speed of the eggs quickly accelerated.
A few seconds later, with a crackling sound, a very strange-looking insect crawled out of the green biomass in the sky.
It looked like a large, flattened and widened scorpion, except that instead of a barbed tail, it had a large oocyst covered with small black dotted vesicles.
There are many very small miniature insects crawling around in this oocyst, and the shape of the entire oocyst is the same as that of the unit, which is widened and flattened.
There are eight pairs of sharp digging feet on both sides of the front of this insect, and there is a hollow stinging needle in the abdominal pouch at the abdomen position, and the overall size is slightly larger than that of a cockroach, not as large as the toadstool, but much "wider" than it.
"The energy-absorbing worm, which is able to replenish itself by absorbing energy transmitted from the ground, has the ability to hatch two special hosts with different slenderness.
It has a total of four skills and has been affected by the Hive Enhancement upgrade. ”
Abbather stretched out his appendage and gently touched it in front of Xue Hua, and a curtain of light appeared in front of him.
Xue Hua understood that this was about to enter the new arms test battlefield again.
After a period of darkness, Xue Hua's vision appeared on a barren land, and Abasser's voice sounded in his ears.
"Test Planet RX-4, the test subject has been converted to the current hostile target.
Mission Info: Our swarm is ordered to attack the enemy's special defensive stronghold, but the enemy unit has a strange psionic skill that allows the attack of our troops to counter itself.
Purpose: Use the energy absorption ability of the energy absorbing insects to neutralize the opponent's psionic skills and capture the defensive stronghold here. ”
Abasser's voice disappeared, and Xue Hua soon saw his Zerg troops and the fortress to be captured in this barren and parched land.
He quickly noticed that this time the enemy of the swarm was no longer the human forces of the Tyranid Empire, but the demons that the swarm faced in the real world of the moment.
These demons have taken over a ruined city and used it as a base to resist the swarms.
The number of insect swarms in Xue Hua's hands was as high as 500,000, and the walls of the ruins of the city had also collapsed in many places, and the defense was not strong.
Logically speaking, such a stronghold basically had only one way to be submerged in the face of such a large number of insect swarms, but Xue Hua read something different in the mission details.
It turns out that the demonic army in this stronghold is mixed with a large number of oblivion mages who can cast various curse skills, and their attacks are the nemesis of the powerful swarm of destruction.
The biters had attempted several attacks before, but were eventually defeated by the curse of the Forgotten Mage and the counterattack of the Forgotten Knight, covered in bone armor.
If the Curse of the Forgotten Mage and the Bone Armor of the Forgotten Knight are not addressed, the swarm will suffer heavy losses if it forcibly attacks the stronghold.
However, this is only a class test mission, and Abbathhar will definitely not give an unsolvable battlefield, and the solution to the problem lies in the group of energy absorbers that have just emerged from under the ground.
Xue Hua carefully checked the list of abilities of the energy sucker and found that its four skills were basically related to the granting and deprivation of energy.
The first ability of the Energy Absorber is called "Energy Extraction", which allows the Energy Absorber to absorb a fixed area of energy from under the ground with a hollow spiny needle in its abdomen and use it for its own use.
All enemy units in the area where the energy is drained will be absorbed by the energy sucker at a slow rate, and this skill is mostly used to replenish the energy reserves of the energy sucker itself, and only when a large number of energy suckers gather together to release the energy extraction skill on the same area, it will have a severe impact on the enemies in the area.
The second skill of the energy sucker is called "Cleanse the Parasite", which hatches from a flat oocyst at the back of the energy sucker's body and is itself a parasite with a limited life.
It will automatically find units with psionic energy marked by the mind of the main nest to attach to, and then absorb the marked psionic energy on the attached target into its own body through its keen ability to identify psionic energy.
To put it simply, if a necromancer throws a curse at the swarm in the future, the evolutionary parasite of the energy-absorbing worm can quickly parasitize these cursed Zerg units, and then lift the curse by absorbing the cursed energy.
And the function of purifying the host does not stop there, it can also absorb and remove the beneficial psionic energy from those enemy targets with beneficial psionic powers, causing the opponent to lose this energy amplification.
For example, the Necromancer's Bone Armor can easily dispel the Necromancer's protective shield by absorbing the Bone Armor's unique psionic marker.
The third ability of the Energy Absorber is called "Symbiotic Parasite", which is another parasite that hatches from the flat oocyst of the Energy Absorber, which attaches to allied units and allows all friendly units to share the beneficial psionic influence.
For example, in the army of insect swarms, some of the Zerg troops were too far away to enjoy the healing and strengthening effects of the mad feeding liquid of the insect mother in the rear.
At this time, as long as those Zerg troops have symbiotic parasites on them, then the Worm Mothers can extend the feeding effect to the troops in front by healing the Zerg troops in the rear who are also parasitized by symbiotic parasites.
Symbiotic parasites are also limited-time life units, but when they successfully parasitize the target, their survival time becomes very long.
The fourth skill of the energy sucker is called "Parasitic Resistance", and this skill needs to be studied in the "Parasitic Lair".
Resistance Hosts are limited-time creatures with very short lives, which are able to parasitize allies and provide them with psionic resistance protection for a short period of time when they are subjected to any form of psionic attack (including the Paladin's Stinger Aura), and allies under this protection will ignore psionic attacks of the same nature until the protection period ends.
Energysuckers are capable of submersition like all Zerg ground units, but are unable to move underground due to their body structure.
The energy sucker itself is relatively low in combat effectiveness, and needs proper protection from combat troops to survive on the battlefield.
