Chapter 513 Giant Spire

Pushed by the current, the three of them went up all the way, and they approached the surface in about 2 hours. According to the data from the detector, the current position is more than 3,000 meters away from the water surface.

Tang Fang was going to summon the King Worm as soon as he reached the mouth of the Changhe River. As long as three people drilled into it, according to the analysis data of the experiment when he first came to "Akron", the underwater environment at a depth of 5,000 meters was not enough. to deal damage to large Zerg units like Overlords.

At this moment, Emma sent an urgent message that a large number of aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish colonies were found in the area 1,000 meters ahead.

This can't help but surprise him. The living environment of aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish is the strong acid ocean on the surface of "Akron", and this long river is obviously a freshwater environment, and the water pressure is extremely high. How did they overcome the thrust and enter the countercurrent? River course?

Emma told him that these jellyfish-like bodies did not flow countercurrently into the channel from the spouts connecting the long river to the ocean, but emerged from the interior of the channel and entered the strong acid ocean under the push of the flowing water.

This couldn't help but make him more confused about what "she" meant.

Emma sent a topographic section map, which marked the gathering place of aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish bodies, and their source-a tributary.

On the topographic profile, the long river forks at 200 meters from the bottom of the sea. The main channel still leads straight upwards to the strong acid ocean, while the other forked channel is very narrow, only about 3 meters wide, and spreads obliquely upwards to the nearby ocean. The location at the foot of a volcano in the Mid Ridge region.

Tang Fang thought about it for a moment, and decided to go over to have a look, so he informed the two people of the situation, swam to the stone wall not far from the bifurcated river, fixed his body to prevent the water from washing away, and directed the detector to bypass the swarms of humans. Jellyfish bodies, entering the forked channel.

A few minutes later. A scene image was transmitted from the detector. After browsing, he ordered the two people to wait while he left the stone wall. Summon another detector to act as an underwater submarine, bypassing the jellyfish floating like clouds. Enter the Forking River.

The temperature of the water gradually increased, and as time passed, it got closer and closer to the foot of the volcano. After a while, it reached the end of the bifurcated river and entered a huge cave filled with fresh water with a height of over 100 meters.

Tang Fang swam towards the direction of the crater, and summoned a Protoss transport plane in his mind. The dazzling light illuminates the gloomy underwater world at once, reflecting the water in most of the cave, and reflecting a silvery object on the innermost stone wall.

It was a huge shellfish, half embedded in the stone wall, half exposed in the water, shaped like a wool cap worn in winter, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with irregular gray spots growing on the silver-white surface.

Stimulated by the strong light of the Protoss transport plane,

The folds of flesh at the shellfish's opening quickly retract inward, snapping together like teeth. An aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish body that had just been spat out by it was swallowed back.

It turns out that "Akron" not only has aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish and "dryad", but also such huge shellfish.

Ever since seeing the "Dryant", he has always believed that the acidic substances in the highly acidic ocean and many jellyfish-like bodies all originated from the "Dryant". But now it seems that this is not the case. The asexual jellyfish body of aqbd-1 was bred by the huge shellfish in front of me, which just confirmed that when the "Akron" investigated, Emma said that "5000-8000 meters are aqbd-1 dense distribution of asexual jellyfish bodies" sentence.

According to Emma's geological analysis report on the rock formations around the cave, the huge shellfish in front of me are between the volcanic mountain road and the long river waterway. They should use the heat-resistant properties of the shells, and on the one hand, absorb the heat emitted by the crater through special organs. The concentration is zero, on the one hand, relying on the water flow in the waterway to cool down and nourish the body, and breed jellyfish-like bodies.

Tang Fang suddenly felt admiration for such epic creatures as "Tree Demon" and "Evil Eye". They are the most tenacious life forms in this universe, as long as there are zero elements on the wandering planets. can survive.

Of course, admiration is admiration. He didn't want to be friends with these guys, so he immediately summoned 4 zealots to swim around the shell creature and attack with psionic blades.

Compared with the "Dryad", the shell creature is much smaller, only about 40 meters, but the hardness of the shell is not inferior to the stone armor on the body of the "Dad", even worse, the spiritual blade It can only cause some slight scratches and cannot be submerged inside the shell, which may also have something to do with the underwater environment.

The appearance of the psionic blade brought turbulence to the cave, a large amount of fresh water was evaporated, and the turbulent airflow formed a foam storm, which spread rapidly towards the surroundings.

The shell creature opened its mouth extremely fast, and a milky white shadow flashed carelessly, and the nearest fanatic was wrapped around his ankles, pulled into the gap between the shells, and quickly closed.

After a few breaths, Tang Fang found that he had lost contact with the fanatic and presumably died.

He was very surprised. He thought that the fanatic would have to struggle anyway, and even cause some damage to the shell creature, but he didn't expect that it would be wiped out in just a few breaths.

Gudoo...

There was a muffled sound not far away, and the shell creature spit out the fanatic's battle armor. Over there, Tang Fang had already got into the Protoss transport plane. He didn't want to be the ration of the shell creature like a fanatic. If he were to swallow relics such as the battle armor, he might not even have bones left.

In the blink of an eye, another fanatic was sucked into the mouth of the shell creature, leaving only a pair of battle armor.

Commanding the Protoss transport plane to retreat to the entrance of the cave, he summoned another Corruptor and sprayed parasitic spores at the shell creature. The result was similar to the psychic blade of the Zealot, but it had no effect. Dealing with the Corruptor like a Zealot, although the milky white object shot from the mouth is enough to pull the prey, but the speed is not fast enough, the sour saliva sprayed by the Corruptor enters the interior through the gap between the shells, causing heavy damage to it, and the Zealot takes the opportunity to swing The spiritual blade cut the milky white object in half.

At this time, Tang Fang finally saw clearly the origin of the milky white object. It turned out to be a flexible tissue similar to clam meat.

After this incident, the shell creature was frightened and played the tortoise tactic. Don't dare to open your mouth easily.

Tang Fang retracted the Corruptor, gritted his teeth after thinking for a moment, and got out of the Protoss transport plane. Release more zealots to attract the shell creature's attention from the front, and he detours to the innermost part of the cave. He raised the high-frequency sword obtained by the blood wolf warrior, injected a large amount of electrons oscillating at the speed of light, and thrust it down forcefully.

Bubbles gushed out, and the water molecules around the high-frequency sword "evaporated" all at once, and the waving electric arc of the sword's edge drilled a crack on the hard shell surface. The one-meter-long high-frequency sword was like a knife piercing through sandpaper, emitting a harsh It rang, and it became a more dull sound in the water and spread out.

Gao Zhoubo's sword passed. The water vapor surged, the shell cracked, and he forcibly opened a 2-meter-diameter "skylight" on the top of the shell creature's body.

When the shell was sunken under the action of water pressure, through the skylight, two dim red lights could be seen in the dark space inside the shell, as if a pair of blood eyes were staring at him.

He casually threw the Gao Zhoubo sword to a fanatic, and against the backflow of water, he ran away from the shell creature at the fastest speed, hugged the tail of a corrupter, and swam towards the entrance of the cave at the limit speed.

at the same time. Banelings appeared around the shell creature one after another, and driven by the water flow, they fell into the shell through the "skylight".

Puff puff……

There was a hoarse muffled sound in the water, and the current was stirring again. Strands of green escape from the shell skylight, like green silk ribbons floating in the water, spreading around with a large number of air bubbles.

After about three or five breaths, the originally tightly closed shell slowly opened, the tight flesh tissue inside became relaxed, and a wisp of green liquid overflowed and drifted outward.

Several zealots tried a little, grabbed two shells and opened them vigorously, and a large amount of green biological acid solution diffused like mist.

obviously. A shell creature doesn't have the super-fast regeneration ability of a "dryant", and a large number of banelings can kill it. This is because its structure is more oriented towards molluscs, and the shell is hard. The body is very weak, and the number of zero element particles permeating the crater is far less than that of the zero element veins distributed in the stratum. Not only can it not provide huge energy to make it grow into an epic creature like the "Tree Demon", but it also cannot maintain high-speed regeneration for a long time .

Knowing that the shell creature had died, Tang Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for the acid released by the baneling to drop to a level that the protective clothing in harsh environments could withstand, then put away the Corruptor and swam close to the shell creature's corpse.

The detector hidden in the corner turned on the lighting equipment and shone on the rotten meat shaped like the body of a snail inside the shell opened at an angle of 30 degrees. He found that the body of the shell creature was very long, not only 40 meters like the exposed shell part , the front half of its body is milky white, its mouthparts resemble worms, and there are a pair of dark red eyes on it. The back half of its body goes deep into the rock wall and extends to the volcanic mountain road, which is estimated to be more than 100 meters.

He supported the inner wall of the shell and walked to a part that was not contaminated with the banevil's body fluid, and stretched out his hand to press it down.

"Unknown DNA sequence detected, diagnostic program started..."

"Diagnosis is complete, confirm the adaptability of the Zerg."

"Recombine the genetic structure, gene level a, unlock the research tree, technology level 3, unlock the building 'giant spire'."

"The collection of life energy is completed, the quantity is 3000, and the collection of rare elements is completed, the quantity is 2000."

Tang Fang thought that it would be the turn of the giant minaret to unlock this time, because shell creatures can hatch aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish bodies, which are somewhat similar to the characteristics of the brood lord, and he was a little happy until it was confirmed, but he did not expect "Akron" The trip will have such a big harvest, the 3 bases and the giant spire have been unlocked, and the StarCraft 2 Zerg building is completely unlocked with only the last Thunderbeast Cave left.

Put your consciousness into the Zerg base in the system space, select "Spire", and press the hotkey of "Mutated Giant Spire". After a few seconds, the vesicle ruptures, and a hideous giant spier appears on the creep.

The completion of the "Giant Spire" represents the unlocking of the Brood Lord (commonly known as the Dragon), the strongest air unit of the Zerg in the battle mode.

These large, ray-like flying creatures are the swarm's aerial siege unit. Brood Lords only appear in large battles, attacking targets with symbiotes they spit out. These spewed creatures swarm the target until they tear it apart or die. This type of attack makes Brood Lords a formidable threat to structures. However, although the Brood Lord has amazing attack capabilities, he is relatively vulnerable, and he is helpless when facing most air combat units.

The body of a Brood Lord consists of 4 key structures:

1. Brood sac: The tentacles of the Corruptor become cancerous and become luminous spheres on the back of the Brood Lord. Genetic alterations allow these sacs to rapidly hatch large numbers of broodworms. These small creatures can both regulate some biological functions of the Brood Lord, and can also be used as living cannonballs.

Second, the spiked tail: The tail structure of the Brood Lord - including the spiked part is grown from the balance sac of the Corruptor. Functions like a giant gyroscope that can be used to maintain balance and determine orientation. This tail structure is directly connected to the sensory organs of the Brood Lord, further improving the ability to locate the target.

three. Deadly offspring: At all times there are swarms of brood swarming beneath the brood lord's carapace. In combat, the Brood Lord speeds up the aggression and metabolism of the Broodlings. Turn them into short-lived but powerful air-to-ground weapons that can easily destroy soldier armor and mecha armor.

4. Sensory organs: There is an evolved gland system in the bony spurs at the front of the brood lord's flanks, which can release and receive high-frequency electronic pulses. Every pulse will emit a huge spherical electric field from the biological body, covering the surroundings and targets in bioelectric energy. The brood lord's keen sensory glands are then collected and processed. Glands mutated during long space flights can detect sources of radiation, electromagnetic force and light.

In the later version of the heart of the swarm, the brood lord except the passive skill of "worm species". Also added the "Rage" passive skill, which can be immune to deceleration, stun, mind control, and displacement effects.

The cost of the brood lord can't be seen in the larva mutation menu. These 3 flying units are mutated from the Corruptors. Tang Fang immediately selected a Corruptor. Sure enough, he saw the "mutate into a brood" after the "corruption" skill. Bug Lord" has been highlighted, the resource consumption is 150 crystals, 150 gas, and the population occupation is +1.

At first he was a little puzzled, the cost of the brood lord has not doubled, only the population occupancy has been reduced from +2 to +1 (1 brood lord actually occupies 3 population). It was only later that I remembered that the Brood Lord was mutated from the Corruptor. When the Corruptor was hatched, it had consumed 4 times the game resource consumption. If the Brood Lord was mutated, it would also be several times higher. That would be so unfair.

The unlocking of the Brood Lord means that the Zerg troops have a ground attack weapon, which can make up for the shortcomings that the Corruptor cannot attack the ground, and the flying dragon is difficult to cause powerful damage to heavy armored vehicles. Just imagine, if the Brood Lord is used together with the Swarm Host to fight How sour the enemy will be in a ground war of attrition.

Tang Fang suddenly felt a little regretful. It would be great if the brood lord had already been unlocked when he encountered the black 3. The overwhelming swarm of insects could scare him to death.

Finished inspecting newly unlocked units. Abathur suddenly remembered, so he chose the main nest. Press the hero bar hotkey, and Abathur's unlock progress reaches 68%. Growth 23.

Because the "Tree Demon" didn't check the unlock value immediately after his death, he didn't know the unlock value of the two, but according to the current situation, there are at most 3 more dna absorption events to reach 100%.

Thinking that this trip to "Akron" was very rewarding, several hours had passed, Tang Yun and the others were not in a hurry, and the people on the scientific research space station should be suspicious, so they ordered the nurse to collect the shellfish. Tissue samples, retrieve the zealot, and swim down the waterway back to the main stream of the Long River.

Zhou Ai and Roy waited obediently on the spot. When they saw him coming out, they immediately kicked on the stone wall, surrounded them, and let the flowing water push their bodies up quickly.

During the period, he asked him why it took him so long and what was in the cave at the end of the tributary. Tang Fang briefly introduced the existence of shell creatures.

After hearing this, Roy was secretly glad that he didn't go with him. If he was swallowed by a monster, he would never see Yingluo again. What a pity... He also planned to return to the Hercules transport plane to meet "Akron" Tell the girl in detail about the matter, so that she will not drive him out to meet the world in the future. Is this to see the world?

While he was thinking wildly, the three of them were already approaching the intersection of the long river and the ocean. Tang Fang rushed out first and released the king worm immediately.

Since the groundwater sprayed upwards to disperse the nearby acidic substances, the water around the injection port had no corrosive effect, and the three people easily penetrated into the abdominal sac of the king worm and quickly climbed up.

The water pressure at a depth of several thousand meters cannot cause harm to the king worm, and the acidic substances in the ocean can only cause some minor injuries. After about a few minutes, a huge splash of water rose from the emerald green sea surface, and the bloated body of the king worm broke through the water. rise to the sky.

Finally returned to the blue sky from the oppressive underground space. Although the three people did not speak, they all let out a sigh of relief. Tang Fang remembered that there is a profession in the world called miners. Dye bloody, and the wealth piled up with flesh and blood may become a luxury car speeding on the road, a bag under the wrist of a beautiful woman, or a mountain of banknotes in the home of a high-ranking official.

His parents in this world are such miners.

Most of the people in Garcia's rebel army are also like miners --- miners who are at the bottom of society, no one will fight for their rights, no one will cry out for their treatment.

In the Monya Empire, in the Sulu Empire, and in the Phoenix Empire, "humanism" is just a word, and it can only be a word! (to be continued)
